Landlord leases the Property to Tenant and Tenant leases the Property from Landlord for the Lease Term. The Lease Term is for the period stated in Section 1.05 above and shall begin and end on the dates specified in Section 1.05 above, unless the beginning or end of the Lease Term is changed under any provision of this Lease. The "Commencement Date" shall be the date specified in Section 1.05 above for the beginning of the Lease Term, unless advanced or delayed under any provision of this Lease. SECTION 2.03. Early Occupancy. If Tenant occupies the Property prior to the Commencement Date, Tenant's occupancy of the Property shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Lease. Early occupancy of the Property shall not advance the expiration date of this Lease. Tenant shall pay Base Rent and all other charges specified in this Lease for the early occupancy period. SECTION 2.04. Holding Over. Tenant shall vacate the Property upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for and indemnify Landlord against all damages which Landlord incurs from Tenant's delay in vacating the Property. If Tenant does not vacate the Property upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease and Landlord thereafter accepts rent from Tenant, Tenant's occupancy of the Property shall be a "month-to-month" tenancy, subject to all of the terms of this Lease applicable to a month-to-month tenancy, except that the Base Rent then in effect shall be increased by twenty-five percent (25%). ARTICLE THREE: BASE RENT SECTION 3.01. Time and Manner of Payment. Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord the Base Rent in the amount stated in Paragraph 1.12(a) above for the first month of the Lease Term. On the first day of the second month of the Lease Term and each month thereafter, Tenant shall pay Landlord the Base Rent, in advance, without offset, deduction or prior demand. The Base Rent shall be payable at Landlord's address or at such other place as Landlord may designate in writing. SECTION 3.02. Cost of Living Increases. The Base Rent shall be increased on each date (the "Rental Adjustment Date") stated in Paragraph 1.12(a) above in accordance with the increase in the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (all items for the geographical Statistical Area in which the Property is located on the basis of 1982-1984 = 100) (the "Index") as follows: (a) The Base Rent (the "Comparison Base Rent") in effect immediately before each Rental Adjustment Date shall be increased by the percentage that the Index has increased from the date (the "Comparison Date") on which payment of the Comparison Base Rent began through the month in which the applicable Rental Adjustment Date occurs. The Base Rent shall not be reduced by reason of such computation. Landlord shall notify Tenant of each increase by a written statement which shall include the Index for the applicable Comparison Date, the Index for the applicable Rental Adjustment Date, the percentage increase between those two indices, and the new Base Rent. Any increase in the Base Rent provided for in this Section 3.02 shall be subject to any minimum or maximum increase, if provided for in Paragraph 1.12(a). (b) Tenant shall pay the new Base Rent from the applicable Rental Adjustment Date until the next Rental Adjustment Date. Landlord's notice may be given after the applicable Rental Adjustment Date of the increase, and Tenant shall pay Landlord the accrued rental adjustment for the months elapsed between the effective date of the increase and Landlord's notice of such increase within ten (10) days after Landlord's notice. If the format or components of the Index are materially changed after the Commencement Date, Landlord shall substitute an index which is published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or similar agency and which is most nearly equivalent to the Index in effect on the Commencement Date. The substitute index shall be used to calculate the increase in the Base Rent unless Tenant objects to such index in writing within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord's notice. If Tenant objects, Landlord and Tenant shall submit the selection of the substitute index for binding arbitration in accordance with the rules and regulations of the American Arbitration Association at its office closest to the Property. The costs of arbitration shall be borne equally by Landlord and Tenant. SECTION 3.03. Security Deposit; Increases: (a) Upon the execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord a cash Security Deposit in the amount set forth in Section 1.10 above. Landlord may apply all or part of the Security Deposit to any unpaid rent or other charges due from Tenant or to cure any other defaults of Tenant. If Landlord uses any part of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall restore the Security Deposit to its full amount within ten (10) days after Landlord's written request. Tenant's failure to do so shall be a material default under this Lease. No interest shall be paid on the Security Deposit. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its other accounts and no trust relationship is created with respect to the Security Deposit. (b) Each Time the Base Rent is increased, Tenant shall deposit additional funds with Landlord sufficient to increase the Security Deposit to an amount which bears the same relationship to the adjusted Base Rent as the Initial Security Deposit bore to the Initial Base Rent. However as long as Tenant has not been in default of its Lease over the first two (2) years of its tenancy this Section 3.03 (b) shall not apply. 1988 Southern California Chapter Initials [illegible] of the Society of Industrial [logo] ------------------- and Office Realtors,! Inc. [illegible] 2 (Multi-Tenant Gross Form) <PAGE> 3 Section 3.04 TERMINATION: ADVANCE PAYMENTS. Upon termination of this Lease under Article Seven (Damage or Destruction), Article Eight (Condemnation) or any other termination not resulting from Tenant's default, and after Tenant has vacated the Property in the manner required by this Lease, Landlord shall refund or credit to Tenant (or Tenant's successor) the unused portion of the Security Deposit, any advance rent or other advance payments made by Tenant to Landlord and any amounts paid for real property taxes and other reserves which apply to any time periods after termination of the Lease. ARTICLE FOUR: OTHER CHARGES PAYABLE BY TENANT Section 4.01 ADDITIONAL RENT. All charges payable by Tenant other than Base Rent are called "Additional Rent". Unless this Lease provides otherwise, Tenant shall pay all Additional Rent then due with the next monthly installment of Base Rent. The term "rent" shall mean Base Rent and Additional Rent. Section 4.02 PROPERTY TAXES. (a) REAL PROPERTY TAXES. Landlord shall pay the "Base Real Property Taxes" on the Property during the Lease Term. Base Real Property Taxes are real property taxes applicable to the Property as shown on the tax bill for the most recent tax fiscal year ending prior to the Commencement Date. However, if the structures on the Property are not completed by the tax lien date of such tax fiscal year, the Base Real Property Taxes are the taxes shown on the first tax bill showing the full assessed value of the Property after completion of the structures. Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount, if any, by which the real property taxes during the Lease Term exceed the Base Real Property Taxes. Subject to Paragraph 4.02(c), Tenant shall make such payments within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord's statement showing the amount and computation of such increase. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for any real property taxes paid by Tenant covering any period of time prior to or after the Lease Term. (b) DEFINITION OF "REAL PROPERTY TAX." "Real property tax" means: (i) any fee, license fee, license tax, business license fee, commercial rental tax, levy, charge, assessment, penalty or tax imposed by any taxing authority against the Property; (ii) any tax on the Landlord's right to receive, or the receipt of, rent or income from the Property or against Landlord's business of leasing the Property; (iii) any tax or charge for fire protection, streets, sidewalks, road maintenance, refuse or other services provided to the Property by any governmental agency; (iv) any tax imposed upon this transaction or based upon a reassessment of the Property due to a change of ownership, as defined by applicable law, or other transfer of all or part of Landlord's interest in the Property; and (v) any charge or fee replacing any tax previously included within the definition of real property tax. "Real property tax" does not, however, include Landlord's federal or state income, franchise, inheritance or estate taxes. There shall be no increase in Tenant's liability for taxes due to a sale of the Project during the first three (3) years of Tenant's occupancy. (c) JOINT ASSESSMENT. If the Property is not separately assessed, Landlord shall reasonably determine Tenant's share of the real property tax payable by Tenant under Paragraph 4.02(a) from the assessor's worksheets or other reasonably available information. Tenant shall pay such share to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord's written statement. (d) PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES. (i) Tenant shall pay all taxes charged against trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment or any other personal property belonging to Tenant. Tenant shall try to have personal property taxed separately from the Property. (ii) If any of Tenant's personal property is taxed with the Property, Tenant shall pay Landlord the taxes for the personal property within fifteen (15) days after Tenant receives a written statement from Landlord for such personal property taxes. (e) * Section 4.03. UTILITIES. Tenant shall pay, directly to the appropriate supplier, the cost of all natural gas, heat, light, power, sewer service, telephone, water, refuse disposal and other utilities and services supplied to the Property. However, if any services or utilities are jointly metered with other property, Landlord shall make a reasonable determination of Tenant's proportionate share of the cost of such utilities and services and Tenant shall pay such share to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Landlord's written statement. Section 4.04. INSURANCE POLICIES. (a) LIABILITY INSURANCE. During the Lease Term, Tenant shall maintain a policy of commercial general liability insurance (sometimes known as broad form comprehensive general liability insurance) insuring Tenant against liability for bodily injury, property damage (including loss of use of property) and personal injury arising out of the operation, use or occupancy of the Property. Tenant shall name Landlord as an additional insured under such policy. The initial amount of such insurance shall be One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence and shall be subject to periodic increase based upon inflation, increased liability awards, recommendation of Landlord's professional insurance advisers and other relevant factors. The liability insurance obtained by Tenant under this Paragraph 4.04(a) shall (i) be primary and non-contributing; (ii) contain cross-liability endorsements; and (iii) insure Landlord against Tenant's performance under Section 5.05, if the matters giving rise to the indemnity under Section 5.05 result from the negligence of Tenant. The amount and coverage of such insurance shall not limit Tenant's liability nor relieve Tenant of any other obligation under this Lease. Landlord may also obtain comprehensive public liability insurance in an amount and with coverage determined by Landlord insuring Landlord against liability arising out of ownership, operation, use or occupancy of the Property. The policy obtained by Landlord shall not be contributory and shall not provide primary insurance. (b) PROPERTY AND RENTAL INCOME INSURANCE. During the Lease Term, Landlord shall maintain policies of insurance covering loss of or damage to the Property in the full amount of its replacement value. Such policy shall contain an inflation Guard Endorsement and shall provide protection against all perils included within the classification of fire, extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, special extended perils (all risk), sprinkler leakage and any other perils which landlord deems reasonably necessary. Landlord shall have the right to obtain flood and earthquake insurance if required by any lender holding a security interest in the Property. Landlord shall not obtain insurance for Tenant's fixtures or equipment or building improvements installed by Tenant on the Property. During the Lease Term, Landlord shall also maintain a rental income insurance policy, with loss payable to Landlord, in an amount equal to one year's Base Rent, plus estimated real property taxes and insurance premiums. Tenant shall be liable for the payment of any deductible amount under Landlord's or Tenant's insurance policies maintained pursuant to this Section 4.04 in an amount not to exceed Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000). Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done which invalidates any such insurance policies. * In the event Real Property Taxes are increased because of Tenant's Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall be responsible for that increased amount which is in excess of the portion attributable to Landlord's contribution of $106,310.00 toward such improvements. Tenant 1988 Southern California Chapter Initials __________________ of the Society of Industrial [LOGO] and Office Realtors,! Inc. 3 __________________ (Multi-Tenant Gross Form) <PAGE> 4 (c) PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS. (i) Landlord shall pay the "Base Premiums" for the insurance policies maintained by Landlord under Paragraph 4.04(b) if the Property has been previously fully occupied, the "Base Premiums" are the insurance premiums paid during or applicable to the last twelve (12) months of such prior occupancy. If the Property has not been previously fully occupied or has been occupied for less than twelve (12) months, the Base Premiums are the lowest annual premiums reasonably obtainable for the required insurance for the Property as of the Commencement Date. (ii) Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount, if any, by which the insurance premiums for all policies maintained by Landlord under Paragraph 4.04(b) have increased over the Base Premiums, whether such increases result from the nature of Tenant's occupancy, any act or omission of Tenant, the requirement of any lender referred to in Article Eleven (Protection of Lenders), the increased value of the Property or general rate increases. However, if Landlord substantially increases the amount of insurance carried or the percentage of insured value after the period during which the Base Premiums were calculated, Tenant shall only pay Landlord the amount of increased premiums which would have been charged by the insurance carrier if the amount of insurance or percentage of insured value had not been substantially increased by Landlord. This adjustment in the amount due from Tenant shall be made only once during the Lease Term. Thereafter, Tenant shall be obligated to pay the full amount of any additional increases in the insurance premiums, including increases resulting from any further increases in the amount of insurance or percentage of insured value. Subject to Section 4.05, Tenant shall pay Landlord the increases over the Base Premiums within fifteen (15) days after receipt by Tenant of a copy of the premium statement or other evidence of the amount due. If the insurance policies maintained by Landlord cover improvements or real property other than the Property, Landlord shall also deliver to Tenant a statement of the amount of the premiums applicable to the Property showing, in reasonable detail, how such amount was computed. If the Lease Term expires before the expiration of the insurance period, Tenant's liability shall be pro rated on an annual basis. (d) GENERAL INSURANCE PROVISIONS. (i) Any insurance which Tenant is required to maintain under this Lease shall include a provision which requires the insurance carrier to give Landlord not less than thirty (30) days' written notice prior to any cancellation or modification of such coverage. (ii) If Tenant fails to deliver any policy, certificate or renewal to Landlord required under this Lease within the prescribed time period or if any such policy is cancelled or modified during the Lease Term without Landlord's consent, Landlord may obtain such insurance, in which case Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of such insurance within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a statement that indicates the cost of such insurance. (iii) Tenant shall maintain all insurance required under this Lease with companies holding a "General Policy Rating" of A-12 or better, as set forth in the most current issue of "Best Key Rating Guide". Landlord and Tenant acknowledge the insurance markets are rapidly changing and 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. Therefore, Tenant shall obtain any such additional property or liability insurance which Tenant deems necessary to protect Landlord and Tenant. (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. Upon obtaining the required policies of insurance, Landlord and Tenant shall give notice to the insurance carriers of this mutual waiver of subrogation. Section 4.05. COMMON AREAS; USE, MAINTENANCE AND COSTS. (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 the Property. (b) USE OF COMMON AREAS. Tenant shall have the nonexclusive right (in common with other tenants and all others 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 1988 Southern California Chapter Initials [illegible] of the Society of Industrial [logo] ------------------- and Office Realtors,! Inc. [illegible] 4 (Multi-Tenant Gross Form) <PAGE> 5 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) [ See Lease Rider.] MAINTENANCE OF COMMON AREAS. *Which increase above the 1993 Base Year expenses for the Project. (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. 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 any time 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 ten (10) 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. 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 5.01. 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 rights of tenants of the Project, or which constitutes a nuisance or waste. Tenant shall obtain and pay for all permits, including a Certificate of the Project, or which constitutes a nuisance or waste. Tenant shall obtain any pay for all permits, including 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. Section 5.03. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. As used in this Lease, the term "Hazardous Material" means any flammable items, explosives, radioactive materials, hazardous or toxic substances, material or waste or related materials, including any substances defined as or included in the definition of "hazardous substances", "hazardous wastes", "hazardous materials" or "toxic substances" now or subsequently regulated under any applicable federal, state or local laws or regulations, including without limitation petroleum-based products, paints, solvents, lead, cyanide, DDT, printing inks, acids, pesticides, ammonia 1988 Southern California Chapter 5 Initials [Illegible] of the Society of Industrial [LOGO] ----------- and Office Realtors, !

Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any legal fees or costs incurred by Landlord in connection with any such claim. As a material part of the consideration to Landlord, Tenant assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons in or about the Property arising from any cause, and Tenant hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Landlord, except for any claim arising out of Landlord's gross negligence or willful misconduct. As used in this Section, the term "Tenant" shall include Tenant's employees, agents, contractors and invitees, if applicable. Section 5.06 LANDLORD'S ACCESS. Landlord or its agents may enter the Property with 24 hours advance notice excepting the last seven (7) months of the Lease term when advance telephone notice will suffice to show the Property to potential buyers, investors or tenants or other parties; to do any other act or to inspect and conduct tests in order to monitor Tenant's compliance with all applicable environmental laws and all laws governing the presence and use of Hazardous Material; or for any other purpose Landlord deems necessary. Landlord shall give Tenant prior notice of such entry, except in the case of an emergency. Landlord may place customary "For Sale" or "For Lease" signs on the Property. Section 5.07 QUIET POSSESSION. If Tenant pays the rent and complies with all other terms of this Lease, Tenant may occupy and enjoy the Property for the full Lease Term, subject to the provisions of this Lease.

However, Landlord shall not be obligated to maintain or repair windows, doors, plate glass or the surfaces of walls. Landlord shall not be obligated to make any repairs under this Section 6.03 until a reasonable time after receipt of a written notice from Tenant of the need for such repairs. Tenant waives the benefit of any present or future law which might give Tenant the right to repair the Property at Landlord's expense or to terminate the Lease because of the condition of the Property.

Article Seven (Damage or Destruction) and Article Eight (Condemnation), Tenant shall keep all portions of the Property (including structural, nonstructural, interior, systems and equipment) in good order, condition and repair (including interior repainting and refinishing, as needed).

However, Landlord shall not be required to give such notice if Tenant's failure to perform constitutes a non-curable breach of this Lease.

The parties agree to the following additions to and modifications of the Lease: NEW SECTION 1.16 TENANT IMPROVEMENTS. Tenant shall have improvements constructed at the Property in accordance with this section. (a) Tenant Improvement Allowance. Landlord shall make available to Tenant for the payment of Tenant's costs for construction of tenant improvements, demolition, permits and fees, and space planning/architectural costs (collectively "Tenant Improvements") up to a maximum of $11.64 per rentable square foot of the Property (i.e., a total of $106,310.00) (the "Allowance"), which amount shall be used strictly for such purposes, and shall be payable in the following progress payments: 25% when Tenant Improvements are 10% completed; 25% when Tenant Improvements are 25% completed; 25% when Tenant Improvements are 50% completed; and 25% when Tenant Improvements are 95% completed. Percentage completion shall be reasonably determined by Tenant's architect. If Landlord fails to pay (or cause to be paid, as provided in subparagraph (b), below) any portion of the Allowance to Tenant as provided herein, Tenant shall be entitled to offset any unpaid amounts against the rent and any other sums due to Landlord under the Lease. (b) Payments. When Tenant is entitled to each progress payment as provided in subparagraph (a) above, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, and Landlord shall thereupon immediately submit to Concord Commercial Bank, whose office is located at Concord, California ("Agent"), invoices for costs incurred in connection with the Tenant Improvements, with instructions to Agent immediately to issue checks from its escrow account number 001201530 to the entity or entities to whom payment is due, as shown on said invoices; provided, however, that in no event shall the total value of such checks exceed the amount of the progress payment to which Tenant is then entitled. In no event, however, shall Tenant be entitled to payment for any invoices submitted to Landlord after April 1, 1993. Agent's failure or inability to issue checks as provided herein shall not relieve Landlord from its obligation to cause payments up to the amount of the Allowance to be made to those entitled to payment on account of the Tenant Improvements. <PAGE> 15 (c) Development of Plans. Attached to this Lease as Exhibit A is a preliminary space plan (the "Preliminary Space Plan"), which Landlord hereby approves. Tenant shall cause to be prepared for Landlord's review plans, specifications, and working drawings for the construction of the Tenant Improvements (the "Final Plans"). Landlord shall approve the Final Plans so long as they are a logical evolution of the Preliminary Space Plan. To the extent that the Final Plans are not a logical evolution of the Preliminary Space Plan, Landlord nevertheless shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of the Final Plans. (d) Construction. Tenant shall give Landlord not less than five days' written notice prior to commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements to enable Landlord to post notice of nonresponsibility. No construction shall commence until Tenant has received all governmental permits necessary to permit Tenant to legally commence the construction of the Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall be responsible for monitoring and managing the construction of the Tenant Improvements, and shall cause the same to be constructed with due diligence and in compliance with all governmental regulations and the Final Plans (as the same may be revised from time to time with the approval of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Landlord shall have the right to approve the general contractor(s) to be used by Tenant for the construction of the Tenant Improvements. If Tenant selects the following general contractor, Landlord will be deemed to have approved the same: RUDOLPH SLETTEN. (e) Other Tenants. Tenant shall ensure that the construction of the Tenant Improvements shall not prevent the access of other tenants of the Project to their respective premises or the parking areas of the Project. Tenant will also use reasonable efforts to ensure that its contractors avoid creating undue noise and inconvenience to such other tenants during construction of the Tenant Improvements. Landlord acknowledges and agrees, however, that some noise and inconvenience is inevitable, and Tenant shall not be liable therefor. (f) Indemnification; Bonds; Proof of Payment. Tenant shall submit for Landlord's approval evidence of the general contractor's liability and worker's compensation insurance. Tenant shall maintain the liability insurance required under Section 4.04(a) of the Lease from and after the date commencement of construction begins. So long as the estimated total cost of construction of the Tenant Improvements does not exceed $1,000,000, Tenant shall not be required to furnish or cause its contractor(s) to furnish payment and completion bonds. Except to the extent cause by negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, employees, or contractors, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against any and all claims made as a result of the construction of the Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall also provide Landlord copies of proof of payment of invoices (other than those to be paid through the Agent) on a monthly basis. -2- <PAGE> 16 (g) Term Commencement. The term of the Lease (and Tenant's obligation to pay rent) shall commence on February 1, 1993, or upon Tenant's actually moving into the Property and commencing operations, whichever occurs first. Tenant shall be given full access to the Property immediately upon execution of this Lease for all purposes reasonably related to the constructing the Tenant Improvements. (h) Landlord's Consents. Whenever Landlord's consent is required pursuant to the provisions of this Section, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay such consent. If Landlord fails to notify Tenant in writing of its disapproval of any matter for which consent is requested within five business days after Tenant's request therefor, Landlord will be deemed to have granted its consent. REVISED SECTION 4.05 (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 sole discretion, as a first-class industrial/commercial real property development. Tenant shall pay Tenant's pro rata share (as determined below) of all of the following costs incurred by Landlord for the operation and maintenance of the Common Areas which increase above the 1993 Base Year expenses for the Project: 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 (excluding earthquake and flood insurance) on the 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, repaving, 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 five percent (5%) 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. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing Common Area costs shall not include depreciation of real property which forms part of the Common Areas or expenses that would be considered capital expenses under generally accepted accounting principles. -3- <PAGE> 17 REVISED MATERIAL 5.03 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS. (a) Tenant shall at all times and in all respects comply with all federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, including, but not limited to, the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. Section 1251, et seq.), Resource Conservation & Recovery Act (42 U.S.C. Section 6901, et seq.), Safe Drinking Water Act (42 U.S.C. Section 3000f, et seq.), Toxic Substances Control Act (15 U.S.C. Section 2601, et seq.), the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. Section 7401, et seq.), Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. Section 9601, et seq.), California Health & Safety Code (Section 25100, et seq.; Section 39000, et seq.), California Safe Drinking Water & Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Health & Safety Code Section 25249.5, et seq.), California Water Code (Section 13000, et seq.), and other comparable state and federal laws ("Hazardous Material Laws"), relating to the use, analysis, generation, manufacture, storage, disposal or transportation of any Hazardous Material. (b) Tenant shall, at its own expense, procure, maintain in effect and comply with all conditions of any and all permits, licenses, and other governmental and regulatory approvals required for Tenant's use of Hazardous Material on the Property, including, without limitation, discharge of (appropriately treated) materials or wastes into or through any sanitary sewer serving the Property. Tenant shall cause any and all of its Hazardous Material to be removed from the Property solely in compliance with all applicable Hazardous Material Laws. Tenant shall in all respects handle, treat, deal with and manage any and all Hazardous Material in, on, under or about the Property in total conformity with all applicable Hazardous Material Laws and prudent industry practices regarding management of such Hazardous Material. Upon expiration or earlier termination of the term, Tenant shall cause all of its Hazardous Material to be removed from the Property in accordance with and in compliance with all applicable Hazardous Material Laws. (c) Tenant shall indemnify, defend (by counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord), protect, and hold Landlord and each of Landlord's officers, shareholders, employees, agents, attorneys, successors and assigns, free and harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, penalties, forfeitures, losses or expenses (including attorneys' fees) arising from or caused in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by (i) an Environmental Activity by Tenant; or (ii) Tenant's failure to comply with any Hazardous Material Law. Tenant's obligations under this Section shall include, without limitation, and whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, all costs of any repair, cleanup or detoxification or decontamination of the Property and the Project, or the preparation and implementation of any closure, remedial action or other plans in connection therewith that are required as a result of any Environmental Activity by Tenant, and shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Landlord shall indemnify, defend (by counsel reasonably acceptable to Tenant), -4- <PAGE> 18 protect, and hold Tenant and each of Tenant's officers, shareholders, employees, agents, attorneys, successors and assigns, free and harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, suit, claim, action, cost and expense, including, without limitation, any attorneys' fees, arising from the occurrence of any Environmental Activity where such Environmental Activity was caused by (i) Landlord, (ii) another tenant's conduct at the Project, or (iii) anyone's conduct at the Project before the date of this Lease. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Lease. "Environmental Activity" means any actual, proposed or threatened storage, holding, existence, release, emission, discharge, generation, processing, abatement, removal, disposition, handling or transportation of any Hazardous Material from, into or on the Property or any other activity or occurrence that causes or would cause any such event to exist. (d) It is expressly understood and agreed that to the extent that neither Landlord nor Tenant has expressly agreed to indemnify the other pursuant to this Section 5.03, the absence of any such indemnity shall not be construed to be a waiver by either party of any claims, actions, rights or remedies at law or in equity against the other party or any other person. REVISED SECTION 6.01 EXISTING CONDITIONS. To the best of Landlord's knowledge, as of the execution of the Lease, the Project is in compliance with all laws, ordinances and governmental regulations and orders. Except as provided in this Lease, Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation as to the condition of the Property or its suitability for Tenant's intended use. Tenant has inspected the Property and determined the suitability of all utility services, the HVAC system, and fire safety and alarm features for Tenant's intended use. Subject to Section 1.16, Tenant will be considered to accept the Property in its condition as of the date possession is given to Tenant. ADDITION TO SECTION 6.05(a) ALTERATIONS, ADDITIONS, AND IMPROVEMENTS. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold consent to alterations, additions or improvements proposed by Tenant and requiring Landlord's consent pursuant to Section 6.05(a) of the Lease, unless such alterations, additions or improvements are visible from outside the Property. In granting or withholding consent, Landlord shall in all events be entitled to consider the impact of Tenant's proposal on the value of the Project, the cost of restoration of the Property when possession is recovered from Tenant, and the impact of Tenant's proposal on other Project tenants, and Landlord may condition any approval on Tenant's giving adequate assurance of full compliance with all terms of the Lease and amelioration of any such adverse impacts. -5- <PAGE> 19 ADDITION TO SECTION 10.02 DEFAULTS. (f) A release or discharge of Hazardous Material (as that term is defined in Section 5.03) occurs at the Property in violation of Hazardous Material Law as a result of Tenant's activities there, upon Landlord's written notice to Tenant; provided that Tenant can cure such a default by promptly commencing and completing the removal of, or taking other appropriate remedial action with respect to, such release or discharge. The removal or remedial action shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations and in a manner which is reasonably acceptable to, and which is approved in writing by, Landlord. ARTICLE SIXTEEN: BASE YEARS FOR OTHER CHARGES. Notwithstanding Article Four: (a) Real Property Taxes. The Base Real Property Taxes on the Property shall be those assessed for the July 1, 1992 -- June 30, 1993 tax fiscal year, subject to Tenant's liability for real property tax attributable to that portion of the Tenant Improvements in excess of $106,310.00. Example: The real property tax assessed against the Property for the July 1, 1992 -- June 30, 1993 tax fiscal year is $7,000. For the July 1, 1993 -- June 30, 1994 tax fiscal year, the real property tax assessed against the Property is $12,140, of which $5,000 is attributable (according to the Contra Costa County Assessor's worksheets) to Tenant Improvements amounting to $440,000. Under Section 4.02(e) of the Lease, Tenant is responsible for $3,931.93 of the 1993-94 taxes ($140 + 333,690/440,000 x $5,000), and the Landlord is responsible for the remainder, $8,208.07. The latter figure becomes the Base Real Property Taxes, so that for future tax fiscal years during the Lease term, Tenant will be responsible for real property taxes assessed against the Property in excess of $8,208.07, subject to Tenant's protection against tax increases resulting from a sale of the Project during the first three years of the initial term. Landlord would have paid all of the 1992-93 assessment of $7,000; however, if the Assessor made any supplemental assessment for 1992-93 attributable to the Tenant Improvements, the supplemental assessment would be allocated between Landlord and Tenant according to the principles of Section 4.02(e). (b) Insurance Premiums. The Base Premiums for Landlord's insurance shall be those payable by Landlord for the July 1, 1992 -- June 30, 1993 policy year. (c) Common Area Costs. Tenant shall be responsible for its pro rate share of increases in Common Area costs over the amount of those costs for 1993. The Property's share of costs for management and water for 1993 shall be adjusted as if 95% of the rentable square feet in the Project were leased for the entire year, if the Project occupancy is less. -6- <PAGE> 20 (d) Renewal of Term. If Tenant exercises its option to renew pursuant to Article Seventeen, then during the renewal term, Tenant's additional rent under Article Four of the Lease will be calculated using real property taxes assessed on the Property for the July 1, 1997 - June 30, 1998 tax fiscal year as Base Real Property Taxes, insurance premiums for the July 1 1997 - June 30, 1998 policy year as Base Premiums, and 1998 Common Area costs. Tenant shall remain responsible, however, for real property tax attributable to that portion of the Tenant Improvements in excess of $106,310.00, in accordance with (a) above. ARTICLE SEVENTEEN: OPTION TO RENEW. Provided the Tenant is not in default of any terms and conditions of this Lease either at the time the option is exercised or as of the date of commencement of the renewal term, Landlord shall grant to Tenant one (1) option to renew this Lease for an additional term of five (5) years commencing on expiration of the initial term, and on all the other terms and conditions contained herein, excepting the Base Rent. The new Base Rent (Section 1.12) shall equal the number of rentable square feet of space included in the Property (9,131) multiplied by the average rent per square foot for building standard office space then being charged in the Project, or if none, then the fair market rent per square foot for building standard office space at Stanwell Industrial Park, Concord, California, as of September 1, 1997. In determining such fair market rent, there shall be taken into account the fact that the Lease is a gross lease with pass throughs of increases in property taxes, insurance premiums, and Common Area costs, as provided in Article Sixteen. Tenant shall give Landlord at least one hundred eighty (180) days' advance written notice prior to the expiration of this Lease if it intends to exercise this option to renew. This option shall be exclusive to Tenant and may not be assigned or otherwise transferred, except pursuant to an approved or otherwise permitted assignment or sublease under this Lease. Landlord and Tenant shall have 30 days after Tenant notifies Landlord of the exercise of its option to renew in which to agree to the new Base Rent. If the parties cannot agree to the new Base Rent within such 30 day period, each party shall appoint an Appraiser and shall give notice to the other party of the identity of the Appraiser within 10 days after the expiration of said 30 day period. For purposes hereof, "Appraiser" means a real estate broker or MAI designated appraiser, in either case with not less than five years of full time commercial appraisal or brokerage experience in the area in which the Project is located and with no prior business dealings with the party appointing such Appraiser. If either party fails to appoint an Appraiser, the sole Appraiser appointed shall make the determination of fair market rent per square foot. If two Appraisers are appointed, they shall immediately meet and attempt to agree upon the fair market rent per square foot. If they are unable to do so within 15 days after their first meeting, they shall jointly appoint a third Appraiser to make such determination, and the third Appraiser shall make such determination within 10 days of -7- <PAGE> 21 his/her appointment. If the two Appraisers are unable to agree upon such third Appraiser, either party may petition the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of Contra Costa County to appoint such third Appraiser. The determination of fair market rent per square foot as provided in this Article shall be binding upon the parties. In no event, however, shall the new Base Rent be less than the Base Rent in effect at the time Tenant exercises its option to renew. The new Base Rent shall be subject to adjustment for increases in the cost of living (Section 3.02) as of the first day of the 25th, 37th and 49th months of the renewal term, subject to the limitations and provisions of Section 1.12(a) of the Lease. ARTICLE EIGHTEEN: RIGHT TO TERMINATE. Tenant shall have a one time right to terminate this Lease per the terms and conditions of this Lease effective January 31, 1996 ("Early Termination Date"). To exercise this right to terminate, Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of this election on or before September 1, 1995. In the event Tenant elects to terminate the Lease on the Early Termination Date, Tenant shall additionally include with its notice to the Landlord a check made payable to Landlord in the amount of Ninety-Eight Thousand Dollars ($98,000.00), which represents the remaining unamortized balance for Landlord's share of Tenant Improvements, brokerage commissions and three months' rent. ARTICLE NINETEEN: RESTORATION OF PROPERTY. Upon termination of the Lease pursuant to Article Eighteen, Tenant shall, at Landlord's option, either vacate the Property as provided in this Lease or shall pay the Landlord within 10 days of request the sum of Forty-Five Thousand Six Hundred Fifty-Five ($45,655.00) Dollars for Landlord's demolition of the Property. In any case Tenant shall be entitled to remove and retain possession of any specialized laboratory equipment installed in the Property, provided Tenant repairs any damage caused by the removal. ARTICLE TWENTY: PRE-TERMINATION ENVIRONMENT TESTING. Three months or more before expiration of the Lease term, or before the Early Termination Date if Tenant exercises its right to early termination pursuant to Article Eighteen, Landlord shall have the right to conduct environmental tests at the Property. The cost of such tests shall be borne equally by Landlord and Tenant, at a total cost of not more than $6,000 unless Landlord elects to pay all of any excess. Tenant at its sole expense shall remedy any Hazardous Material contamination that may be discovered from such tests that Tenant is responsible for. If Tenant fails to remedy contamination it is responsible for by the expiration of the Lease term, Tenant shall be considered to have held over, and the provisions of Section 2.04 of the Lease shall apply until all such contamination has been remedied; and in addition Tenant shall be responsible for any additional loss sustained by Landlord as a result of such contamination, including diminution in value of the Project, additional costs of investigation and cleanup, and claims from subsequent tenants for any delays or other damage sustained by them. -8- <PAGE> 22 ARTICLE TWENTY-ONE: LEGAL COMPLIANCE. (a) Tenant expressly assumes the responsibility of obtaining required governmental approvals for all aspects of its anticipated use of the Property, including the storage, use and disposal of Hazardous Material as disclosed in this Lease. Tenant waives application of the doctrine of commercial frustration to its obligations under this Lease as regards its anticipated use of the Property. Tenant will assume responsibility for continuing compliance with all governmental laws and regulations which may apply to its operations at the Property, including the cost of any preventative or reparative actions now or in the future required by laws and orders governing Tenant's use of the Property. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant is unable to obtain all required governmental approvals by October 25, 1992, then Tenant may elect on written notice to Landlord given on or before that date, and before commencement of construction of Tenant Improvements, to cancel this Lease. In the event of such cancellation, Landlord shall be entitled to retain the sum of $19,176.00 paid by Tenant upon execution of this Lease as liquidated damages to compensate Landlord for holding the Property off of the market and for all other damages sustained by Landlord; however, Tenant shall have no further obligations under this Lease. In the event a conflict exists between the Lease and the Lease Rider the terms and conditions of the Lease Rider shall prevail. Dated as of the date of the Lease.

The schedule and other terms of payment to be made by Landlord for these Tenant Improvements shall be in accordance with the following provisions: (a) Schedule. The Allowance is payable in the following progress payments: 25% when Tenant Improvements are 10% completed; 25% when Tenant Improvements are 25% completed; 25% when Tenant Improvements are 50% completed; and 25% when Tenant Improvements are 95% completed. Percentage completion shall be reasonably determined by Tenant's architect. If Landlord fails to pay any portion of the Allowance to Tenant as provided herein, Tenant shall be entitled to offset any unpaid amounts against the rent and any other sums due to Landlord under the Lease. (b) Payments. When Tenant is entitled to each progress payment as provided in subparagraph (a) above, Tenant shall submit to Landlord invoices for -3- <PAGE> 26 costs incurred in connection with the Tenant Improvements; provided, however, that in no event shall the amount then payable to Tenant exceed the amount of the progress payment to which Tenant is then entitled. (c) Development of Plans. Attached to this Agreement as Exhibit 1 is a preliminary space plan (the "Preliminary Space Plan"), which Landlord hereby approves. Tenant shall cause to be prepared for Landlord's review plans, specifications, and working drawings for the construction of the Tenant Improvements (the "Final Plans"). Landlord shall approve the Final Plans so long as they are a logical evolution of the Preliminary Space Plan. To the extent that the Final Plans are not a logical evolution of the Preliminary Space Plan, Landlord nevertheless shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of the Final Plans. (d) Construction. Tenant shall give Landlord not less than five days' written notice prior to commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements to enable Landlord to post notice of nonresponsibility. No construction shall commence until Tenant has received all governmental permits necessary to permit Tenant to legally commence the construction of the Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall be responsible for monitoring and managing the construction of the Tenant Improvements, and shall cause the same to be constructed with due diligence and in compliance with all governmental regulations and the Final Plans (as the same may be revised from time to time with the approval of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Landlord shall have the right to approve the general contractor(s) to be used by Tenant for the construction of the Tenant Improvements. If Tenant selects the following general contractor, Landlord will be deemed to have approved the same: WESTFOUR CONSTRUCTION. (e) Other Tenants. Tenant shall ensure that the construction of the Tenant Improvements shall not prevent the access of other tenants of the Project to their respective premises or the parking areas of the Project. Tenant will also use reasonable efforts to ensure that its contractors avoid creating undue noise and inconvenience to such other tenants during construction of the Tenant Improvements. Landlord acknowledges and agrees, however, that some noise and inconvenience is inevitable, and Tenant shall not be liable therefor. (f) Indemnification; Bonds; Proof of Payment. Tenant shall submit for Landlord's approval evidence of the general contractor's liability and worker's compensation insurance. Tenant shall maintain the liability insurance required under Section 4.04(a) of the Lease from and after the date commencement of construction begins. So long as the estimated total cost of construction of the Tenant Improvements does not exceed $1,000,000, Tenant shall not be required to furnish or cause its contractor(s) to furnish payment and completion bonds. Except to the extent caused by negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or its agents, employees, or contractors, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against any and all claims made as a result of the -4- <PAGE> 27 construction of the Tenant Improvements. Tenant shall also provide Landlord copies of proof of payment of invoices on a monthly basis. (g) Term Commencement. As to the Expansion Space, the Lease Term (and Tenant's obligation to pay rent) shall commence on July 1, 1994, or upon Tenant's actually moving into the Expansion Premises and commencing operations, whichever occurs first. Tenant shall be given full access to the Expansion Premises immediately upon execution of this Agreement for all purposes reasonably related to the constructing the Tenant Improvements. (h) Landlord's Consents. Whenever Landlord's consent is required pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 3, Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay such consent. If Landlord fails to notify Tenant in writing of its disapproval of any matter for which consent is requested within five business days after Tenant's request therefor, Landlord will be deemed to have granted its consent. 4. EARLY TERMINATION. Articles Eighteen and Nineteen of the Lease Rider to the Lease are hereby revoked and deleted. 5. FUTURE EXPANSION OPTION. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the option to lease approximately 9,205 rentable square feet ("Additional Space") within the Project known as 2525 Stanwell Drive, Suite 200, presently occupied by Spine and Sports Medicine Institute of Northern California, Inc. ("SSMI") under a lease dated February 6, 1992, subject to the terms and conditions of this paragraph. Tenant may notify Landlord of its election to exercise the option at any time before December 31, 1995, accompanied by payment in the sum of $265,000 payable to Landlord in order to pay the costs of relocating SSMI or its successor occupying the Additional Space. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Lease, the failure of Landlord to receive both Tenant's notice of exercise of the option plus the required payment on or before December 31, 1995, shall result in the automatic termination of Tenant's option rights to the Additional Space. If Tenant does effectively exercise the option: (a) Landlord shall immediately take steps to terminate any lease then in effect for the Additional Space, and will use its best efforts to deliver possession of the Additional Space within 180 days after Tenant's exercise of the option. In all events Landlord shall deliver possession of the Additional Space to Tenant within 270 days after Tenant's exercise of the option. Without limiting Tenant's other remedies, including without limitation the right to damages and specific performance, if Landlord fails to deliver possession of the Additional Space to Tenant within 270 days after Tenant's exercise of the option, Tenant shall have the right to withdraw its exercise of -5- <PAGE> 28 the option at any time before possession is actually tendered to Tenant, by giving notice of its election to Landlord. Upon receipt of such notice, Landlord shall refund to Tenant the amount of the payment which accompanied Tenant's exercise of the option, with interest at the rate then payable by Concord Commercial Bank on six month certificates of deposit in excess of $250,000. If Landlord fails to so refund to Tenant within 10 days of receipt of notice, the amount due Tenant shall thereafter accrue interest at the rate of 15% per annum, or the maximum legal rate, whichever is less, until paid, and Tenant shall have the right to deduct said amount from rent or any other sums due Landlord under the Lease. (b) The Lease Term as to the Additional Space and payment of Base Rent for the Additional Space shall commence on delivery of possession of that space to Tenant. Landlord shall give Tenant at least 90 days' advance notice of the date as of which the Additional Space shall be available, and Tenant shall not be obligated to take possession before expiration of that notice period. The Base Rent for the Additional Space shall equal the number of rentable square feet multiplied by 96.63374% of the Base Rent per rentable square foot of the Original Premises, as then in effect and as subsequently modified in accordance with the terms of the Lease, as amended. If the Lease Term for the Additional Space commences on a date other than the first day of a month, the Base Rent for that partial month shall be prorated, and thereafter Base Rent for the Additional Space shall be payable on the first day of each month thereafter. The entire Lease Term shall be extended from June 30, 1999, until June 30, 2002. In calculating the Additional Rent payable by Tenant with respect to the Additional Space under Article Four of the Lease, the Base Real Property Taxes on the Additional Space shall be those assessed for the July 1, 1992-June 30, 1993 tax fiscal year, the Base Premiums for Landlord's Insurance shall be those payable by Landlord for the July 1, 1992-June 30, 1993 policy year, and Tenant's share of increases in Common Area costs shall be calculated on the basis of the amount of those costs for calendar year 1993, the same as for the Original Premises, with Tenant's initial pro rata share of Common Area expenses attributable to the Additional Space equal to 34.6%. (c) Prior to December 31, 1995, Tenant may on at least 72 hours advance notice to Landlord arrange for an inspection of the Additional Space, accompanied by Landlord's representative. In exercising the option, Tenant will be considered to have inspected the Additional Space and determined the suitability of all utility services, the HVAC system, and fire safety and alarm features for Tenant's intended use and to have accepted the Additional Space in its condition as of the date of the exercise of its option. Landlord shall be required only to tender possession of the Additional Space to Tenant in essentially the same condition as when Tenant exercised the option, and shall not be obligated to pay for any tenant improvements to that space. Upon receiving possession of the Additional Space, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord the unamortized portion of the original brokerage costs for SSMI determined from the table attached as Exhibit 2 (calculated on the basis of $43,000, the amount of the leasing commission, amortized monthly at 9.5% interest over ten years from July 1, 1992). - 6 - <PAGE> 29 (d) Tenant shall have improvements constructed at the Additional Space in accordance with this section. Tenant shall cause to be prepared for Landlord's review a preliminary space plan (the "Preliminary Space Plan") for the construction of the Tenant Improvements of a similar nature to improvements made by Tenant in the Original Premises and the Expansion Premises. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of the Preliminary Space Plan. Tenant shall then cause to be prepared for Landlord's review plans, specifications and working drawings for the construction of the Tenant Improvements (the "Final Plans"). Landlord shall approve the Final Plans so long as they are a logical evolution of the Preliminary Space Plan. To the extent that the Final Plans are not a logical evolution of the Preliminary Space Plan, Landlord nevertheless shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval of the Final Plans. The terms of this Agreement relating to Tenant Improvements shall apply as stated in Paragraph 3 (d), (e), (f) and (h). (e) At the time possession of the Additional Space is given to Tenant, the parties agree to execute an amendment to the Lease confirming the commencement date for the Lease Term as to the Additional Space. Except as otherwise provided above, all the remaining terms of the Lease as amended shall apply to the Additional Space. 6. LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO TERMINATE. The parties hereby revoke and delete Section 9.07 of the Lease. 7. AMENDMENT TO EXHIBIT C. Exhibit C to the Lease (referenced in Section 6.06 of the Lease) is modified to delete the following from the list of Tenant's removable property: specialized lab casework (including wall-mounted cases). The parties intend and agree that by deleting this item from Exhibit C, it will become Landlord's property upon termination of the Lease. The parties further agree that Landlord's said right to require Tenant to remove any alterations, additions or improvements pursuant to Section 6.06 of the Lease will in any event not apply with respect to alterations, additions or improvements made by Tenant to (i) the Original Premises pursuant to Section 1.16 of the Lease Rider to the Lease, (ii) the Expansion Premises pursuant to Paragraph 3 of this Agreement, or (iii) the Additional Space pursuant to Paragraph 5 of this Agreement, except for those items listed in Exhibit C as amended by this Agreement. If Tenant exercises its option to renew granted in Paragraph 8(a) of this Agreement, Exhibit C to the Lease shall be modified to delete the following additional equipment: fume hoods; water system; and non-portable bio safety cabinets. The parties intend and agree that by deleting those items from Exhibit C, they will become Landlord's property upon termination of the Lease. -7- <PAGE> 30 8. OPTIONS TO RENEW. Article Seventeen of the Lease Rider to the Lease is amended to read as follows: (a) Provided Tenant is not in default of any terms and conditions of the Lease either at the time the option is exercised or as of the date of commencement of the renewal term, Landlord grants to Tenant an option to renew the Lease for an additional term of five (5) years commencing on expiration of the initial term, as amended, and on all the other terms and conditions contained in the Lease as amended, excepting the Base Rent. The new Base Rent (Section 1.12) shall equal the number of rentable square feet of space included in the Property then under the Lease multiplied by the fair market rent per square foot for building standard office space at Stanwell Industrial Park, Concord, California, as of the date four months prior to expiration of the initial term, as amended. In determining such fair market rent, there shall be taken into account the fact that the Lease is a gross lease with pass-throughs of increases in property taxes, insurance premiums, and Common Area costs, as provided in Article Sixteen of the Lease Rider, as well as periodic cost of living increases as provided in Sections 1.12 and 3.02 of the Lease. (b) Provided Tenant has exercised the option granted under (a) above, and is not in default of any terms and conditions of the Lease either at the time the second option is exercised or as of the date of commencement of the second renewal term, Landlord grants to Tenant a second option to renew the Lease for an additional term of five years commencing on expiration of the first renewal term, and on all the other terms and conditions contained in the Lease as amended, excepting the Base Rent. The new Base Rent (Section 1.12) initially shall equal the number of rentable square feet of space included in the Property then under the Lease multiplied by the fair market rent per square foot for building standard office space at Stanwell Industrial Park, Concord, California, as of the date four months prior to expiration of the first renewal term; and then as of the beginning of the 31st month of the second renewal term, the Base Rent shall be recalculated to equal the number of rentable square feet of space included in the Property then under the Lease multiplied by the average of (i) the fair market rent per square foot for building standard office space at Stanwell Industrial Park, Concord California, as of the date four months prior to the commencement of the 31st month of the second extension term, and (ii) the fair market rent per square foot for fully improved biotech laboratory space in buildings with spaces of comparable amenities, age and size in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties as of the same date. In determining -8- <PAGE> 31 such fair market rent, there shall be taken into account the location of the Project in the City of Concord, California, and the fact that the Lease is a gross lease with pass-throughs of increases in property taxes, insurance premiums, and Common Area costs, as provided in Article Sixteen of the Lease Rider, as well as periodic cost of living increases as provided in Sections 1.12 and 3.02 of the Lease. (c) Tenant shall give Landlord at least one hundred eighty (180) days' advance written notice prior to the expiration of the then current term of the Lease if it intends to exercise an option to renew. All options shall be exclusive to Tenant and may not be assigned or otherwise transferred, except pursuant to an approved or otherwise permitted assignment or sublease under the Lease. (d) Landlord and Tenant shall have until the date four months before new Base Rent is to become effective under this Article to agree to the new Base Rent. If the parties cannot agree to the new Base Rent by that date, each party shall appoint an Appraiser and shall give notice to the other party of the identity of the Appraiser within 10 days after that date. For purposes hereof, "Appraiser" means a real estate broker or MAI designated appraiser, in either case with not less than five years of full time commercial appraisal or brokerage experience in the area in which the Project is located and with no prior business dealings with the party appointing such Appraiser. If either party fails to appoint an Appraiser, the sole Appraiser appointed shall make the determination(s) of fair market rent per square foot. If two Appraisers are appointed, they shall immediately meet and attempt to agree upon the determination(s) of fair market rent per square foot. If they are unable to do so within 15 days after their first meeting, they shall jointly appoint a third Appraiser to make such determination(s), and the third Appraiser shall make such determination(s) within 10 days of appointment. If the two Appraisers are unable to agree upon such third Appraiser, either party may petition the presiding judge of the Superior Court of Contra Costa County to appoint such third Appraiser. The determination(s) of fair market rent per square foot as provided in this Article shall be binding upon the parties. In no event, however, shall the new Base Rent be less than the Base Rent in effect at the time Tenant exercises an option to renew. (e) During each renewal term the new Base Rent shall be subject to annual adjustment each July 1 (the Rental Adjustment Date) for increases in the cost of living (Section 3.02); provided that during each such term the maximum increase at any single Rental Adjustment Date shall be 10% of the new Base Rent in effect at commencement of that term. -9- <PAGE> 32 9. BASE YEAR DETERMINATIONS. Subparagraph (d) of Article Sixteen of the Lease Rider to the Lease is amended to read as follows: (d) Renewal of Term. If tenant exercises either of its options to renew pursuant to Article Seventeen as amended, then during each renewal term, Tenant's additional rent under Article Four of the Lease will be calculated using real property taxes assessed on the Property for the first tax fiscal year commencing after the expiring term as Base Real Property Taxes, insurance premiums for the first policy year commencing after the expiring term as Base Premiums, and Common Area Costs for the calendar year in which the renewal term commences. Tenant shall remain responsible, however, for real property taxes attributable to that portion of the Tenant Improvements to the Original Premises in excess of $106,310, in accordance with (a) of this Article, that portion of the Tenant Improvements to the Expansion Premises in excess of $82,700, and that portion of the Tenant Improvements installed by Tenant in the Additional Space, on the same principle. 10. PARKING. Section 4.05 (c) of the Lease is amended to read as follows: (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 and in areas specified by Landlord. Vehicles shall be parked only in striped parking spaces and not in driveways, loading areas or other locations not specifically designed 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, Tenant shall at Landlord's option, immediately remove the additional vehicles upon notice from Landlord or pay a reasonable daily charge determined by Landlord for each such additional vehicle. 11. PROPERTY TAXES. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Lease, as amended, to the contrary, in no event will Tenant be responsible for paying an increase in real property taxes -10- <PAGE> 33 pursuant to Section 4.02 of the Lease attributable to any tenant improvement constructed by or on behalf of anyone other than Tenant after May 1, 1994. 12. ENCUMBRANCE OF TENANT'S EQUIPMENT. Landlord shall execute and deliver such documents as may reasonably be requested by Tenant's lender or chattel lessor in order to assure the enforceability of perfected security interests in equipment used by Tenant on the Property. As a condition to the foregoing obligation, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a complete copy of the loan or chattel lease documentation, which shall expressly provide for notice to Landlord of any default by Tenant and give Landlord the right to cure the default on Tenant's account and, in the case of a chattel lease, the right to acquire on the same terms available to Tenant any items which would (if owned by Tenant) have become Landlord's property on termination of the Lease, pursuant to Paragraph 7 of this Agreement. Landlord shall have the right to recover from Tenant, in the same manner as rent, any sums paid by Landlord to Tenant's lender or chattel lessor pursuant to this paragraph. 13. EXPANSION SPACE LIGHT FIXTURES. Landlord shall be responsible for the prompt disposal in accordance with all applicable laws, ordinances and governmental regulations, of all light fixtures currently stored in the Expansion Premises and all installed light fixtures in the Expansion Premises disconnected by Tenant's contractors by July 1, 1994. 14. CONFIRMATION OF REMAINING PROVISIONS. Except as modified by this Agreement, the terms of the Lease remain in full force and effect between the parties.

On March 8, 1996, Landlord notifies Tenant that the Additional Space will be available in 90 days. SSMI in fact vacates the Additional Space by April 25, 1996, and Landlord tenders possession to Tenant. Tenant elects to go into actual possession as of May 1, 1996, in lieu of waiting out the full 90 days. Pursuant to Paragraph 5(c), Tenant shall at that time pay to Landlord an additional $31,070 from the above table together with the first month's Base Rent for the Additional Space. Example 2: Same facts as in Example 1, except that Tenant does not go into possession of the Additional Space until June 6, 1996 (90 days after Landlord's notice of availability). Pursuant to Paragraph 5(c), Tenant shall at that time pay to Landlord an additional $30,708 ($30,447 + $261 [$30,760 - $30,447 = $313 x 25/30 = $261] = $30,708) from the above table together with 25/30 of the monthly Base Rent for the Additional Space. -2- <PAGE> 37 SECOND AMENDMENT TO INDUSTRIAL REAL ESTATE LEASE This Agreement is made between STANWELL DRIVE PROPERTIES, A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP ("Landlord"), a California limited partnership, and STERITECH, INC.
