3. CONSTRUCTION AND COMMENCEMENT.

   3.1 CONSTRUCTION. Landlord shall construct or cause to be constructed the 
building and improvements substantially in accordance with the Tenant 
Improvement Plans. The Premises shall be ready for occupancy on the date upon 
which the work of construction to be undertaken by Landlord has been 
substantially completed ("Ready for Occupancy") as determined by the issuance 
of a written certificate by Landlord to Tenant certifying (a) that the 
improvements have been substantially completed in accordance with the Tenant 
Improvement Plans, and (b) the date of such completion. Landlord shall 
complete, as soon as reasonably possible, any items of work or adjustment not 
completed when the Premises are Ready for Occupancy and such defective or 
omitted work undertaken by Landlord of which Tenant has given Landlord 
written notice within thirty (30) days after the date the Premises are Ready 
for Occupancy. The Premises shall be Ready for Occupancy not later than the 
Commencement Date; provided, however, that the Commencement Date may be 
extended for a period of time equal to the period of any delay encountered by 
Landlord affecting said work of construction because of fire, inclement 
weather, acts of God, riot, governmental regulations, strikes, shortages of 
material or labor, changes in the Tenant Improvement Plans, or any other 
cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord.
   
   3.2 COMMENCEMENT. The Term of this Lease shall commence upon the earlier 
of: (a) the Commencement Date, or if the Premises are not Ready for Occupancy 
by the Commencement Date, the date upon which the Premises are Ready for 
Occupancy, (b) the date upon which Tenant first occupies any portion of the 
Premises, or (c) the date upon which Rent would have otherwise commenced to 
accrue under this Lease had Tenant not delayed in the performance of any of 
its duties or obligations hereunder or had not otherwise interfered with or 
caused a delay in the performance of Landlord's obligations hereunder. If the 
work of construction is not completed within one hundred twenty (120) days 
after the Commencement Date as extended pursuant to Paragraph 3.1, the sole 
remedy of either party shall be the option to terminate this Lease by the 
delivery to the other party of written notice of such termination within ten 
(10) days thereafter.
   
4. RENT; NET LEASE. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord at Landlord's address or at 
such other place designated by Landlord by written notice to Tenant the Rent, 
in lawful money of the United States, in advance, without demand, off-set or 
deduction, on the first day of each calendar month of the Term hereof and in 
the event the Term commences or the date of expiration of this Lease occurs 
other than on the first day or the last day of a calendar month, the Rent for 
such month shall be prorated. This Lease is what is commonly called a "net 
lease," it being understood that Landlord shall receive the Rent free and 
clear of any and all impositions, taxes, liens, charges or expenses of any 
nature or kind whatsoever in connection with the ownership and operation of 
the Premises, including reimbursement of an asset management fee equal to two 
percent (2%) of the Rent. If Rent is not received as provided above, a late 
charge shall be payable by Tenant as provided in Paragraph 13.4. In the event 
that a late charge is payable, whether or not collected, two times in any 
twelve month period, then Rent shall automatically become due and payable 
quarterly in advance, rather than monthly.

5. DEPOSITS.

   5.1 TAXES, INSURANCE AND MAINTENANCE RESERVE. Tenant shall deposit with 
Landlord each month the amount set forth in Paragraph 1 as a reserve to be 
used to pay real property taxes, maintenance expenses and insurance expenses 
on the Premises which are payable by Tenant under the terms of this Lease. If 
the amounts deposited with Landlord by Tenant under the provisions of this 
Paragraph are insufficient to discharge the obligations of Tenant, Tenant 
shall send to Landlord, upon Landlord's demand, the additional sums necessary 
to fully satisfy such obligations. All monies deposited with Landlord under 
this Paragraph may be intermingled with other moneys of Landlord and shall 
not bear interest.
   
   5.2 SECURITY DEPOSIT. Tenant has deposited with Landlord the Security 
Deposit set forth in Paragraph 1 above as security for Tenant's faithful 
performance of Tenant's obligations hereunder. If Tenant fails to pay Rent or 
other charges due hereunder, or otherwise defaults with respect to any 
provision of this Lease, Landlord may use, apply or retain all or any portion 
of said deposit for the payment of any Rent or other charge in default or for 
the payment of any other sum to which Landlord may become obligated by reason 
of Tenant's default, or to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage which 
Landlord may suffer thereby. If Landlord so uses or applies all or any 
portion of said deposit, Tenant shall within ten (10) days after written 
demand therefor deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore 
said deposit to the full amount stated in Paragraph 1 and Tenant's failure to 
do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. Landlord shall not be 
required to keep said deposit separate from its general accounts. If Tenant 
performs all of Tenant's obligations hereunder, said deposit, or so much 
thereof as has not theretofore been applied by Landlord, shall be returned, 
without payment of interest or other increment for its use, to Tenant (or, at 
Landlord's option, to the last assignee, if any, of Tenant's interest 
hereunder) at the expiration of the Term hereof, and after Tenant has vacated 
the Premises. No trust relationship is created herein between Landlord and 
Tenant with respect to said Security Deposit.

right to make repairs at Landlord's expense or to terminate this Lease 
because of Landlord's failure to keep the Premises in good order, condition 
and repair.

to one and one-half times the estimated cost of such improvements, to insure 
Landlord against any liability for mechanic's and materialmen's liens and to 
insure completion of work. Should Tenant make any alterations, improvements,

Landlord prior to the commencement of the work and the compliance by Tenant 
with all conditions of said permit in a prompt and expeditious manner.

    (c) Tenant shall pay, when due, all claims for labor or materials

Landlord and remain upon and be surrendered with the Premises at the 
expiration of the Term. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Paragraph 
7.5(d), Tenant's machinery and equipment, other than that which is affixed to

demand as additional rent.  However, if the Premises is a one-tenant building 
and Tenant can provide suitable insurance at lesser cost within thirty (30) days
after notice of the company and rate obtained by Landlord; Tenant may do so and 
shall not be liable to Landlord for any cost of temporary insurance in excess 
of the rate for the substitute insurance. If Tenant fails to maintain 
insurance which Tenant has undertaken to provide, Tenant shall pay for any 
loss or cost resulting from said failure.

holders as Landlord may require, policies, duplicates or certificates as such 
holders may require, and shall in all cases furnish the other party with 
policies, duplicates and certificates. Tenant shall not violate or permit to 
be violated any of the conditions or provisions of any policy provided for in 
Paragraph 8.1, and Tenant shall so perform and satisfy the requirements of 
the companies writing such policies so that at all times companies of good 
standing reasonably satisfactory to Landlord shall be willing to write and/or 
continue such insurance.
   
   8.4 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Tenant and Landlord each hereby release and 
relieve the other, and waive their entire right of recovery against the other 
for loss or damage arising out of or incident to the perils insured against 
hereunder, which perils occur in, on or about the Premises, whether due to 
the negligence of Tenant or Landlord or their agents, employees, contractors 
and/or invitees. Tenant and Landlord shall, upon obtaining the policies of 
insurance required hereunder, give notice to the insurance carrier or 
carriers that the foregoing mutual waiver of subrogation is contained in this 
Lease.

against any and all claims arising from Tenant's use of the Premises, or from 
the conduct of Tenant's business or from any activity, work or things done, 
permitted or suffered by Tenant in or about the Premises or elsewhere and 
shall further indemnity and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and 
all claims arising from any breach or default in the performance of any 
obligation on Tenant's part to be performed under the terms of this Lease, or 
arising from any negligence of Tenant, or any of Tenant's agents, 
contractors, or employees, and from and against all costs, attorneys' fees,

Landlord shall defend the same at Tenant's expense by counsel satisfactory to 
Landlord. Tenant as a material part of the consideration to Landlord hereby

about the Premises arising from any cause and Tenant hereby waives all claims 
in respect thereof against Landlord.
   
   8.6 EXEMPTION OF LANDLORD FROM LIABILITY. Tenant hereby agrees that 
Landlord shall not be liable for injury to Tenant's business or any loss of 
income therefrom or for damage to the goods, wares, merchandise or other 
property of Tenant, Tenant's employees, invitees, customers, or any other 
person in or about the Premises; nor shall Landlord be liable for injury to 
the person of Tenant, Tenant's employees, agents or contractors, whether such 
damage or injury is caused by or results from fire, steam, electricity, gas, 
water or rain, or from the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of 
pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting 
fixtures, or from any other cause, whether said damage or injury results from 
conditions arising upon the Premises or upon other portions of the building 
of which the Premises are a part, or from other sources or places, and 
regardless of whether the cause of such damage or injury or the means of 
repairing same is inaccessible to Tenant. Landlord shall not be liable for 
any damages arising from any act or neglect of any other tenant, if any, of 
the building in which the Premises are located.

Tenant shall repair such damage as soon as reasonably possible and this Lease 
shall continue in full force and effect. If the insurance proceeds received 
by Landlord are not sufficient to effect such repair and such insufficiency

repair, Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand any costs incurred by 
Landlord not fully covered by insurance proceeds. If Tenant repairs the 
damage, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the costs of repair to the extent 
of insurance proceeds received by Landlord. Insurance claim shortfalls

or willful act of Tenant (in which event Tenant shall make the repairs at its 
expense), and such damage was caused by a casualty not covered under an 
insurance policy required to be maintained pursuant to Paragraph 8.1, 
Landlord may at Landlord's option either (a) repair such damage as soon as 
reasonably possible at Landlord's expense, in which event this Lease shall 
continue in full force and effect, or (b) give written notice to Tenant 
within thirty (30) days after the date of the occurrence of such damage of 
Landlord's intention to cancel and terminate this Lease as of the date of the 
occurrence of such damage. In the event Landlord elects to give such notice 
of Landlord's intention to cancel and terminate this Lease, Tenant shall have 
the right within ten (10) days after the receipt of such notice to give 
written notice to Landlord of Tenant's intention to repair such damage at 
Tenant's expense, without reimbursement from Landlord, in which event this 
Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and Tenant shall proceed to 
make such repairs as soon as reasonably possible. If Tenant does not give 
such notice within such ten (10) day period, this Lease shall be canceled and

period during which such damage, repair or restoration continues shall be 
abated in proportion to the degree to which Tenant's use of the Premises is 
impaired, but only to the extent of any proceeds received by Landlord from 
rental abatement insurance described in Paragraph 8.1. Except for the 
abatement of Rent, if any, Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for 
any damage suffered by reason of any such damage, destruction, repair or 
restoration.

Civil Code Paragraphs 1932 (2) and 1933 (4) or any related or successor

having the direct or indirect power to tax, including any city, state or 
federal government, or any school, agricultural, sanitary, fire, street, 
drainage or other improvement district thereof, as against any legal or 
equitable interest of Landlord in the Premises or in the real property of 
which the Premises are a part, as against Landlord's right to rent or other 
income therefrom, and as against Landlord's business of leasing the Premises. 
Real Property Tax shall also include any tax, fee, levy, assessment or charge 
(i) in substitution of, partially or totally, any tax, fee, levy assessment 
or charge hereinabove included within the definition of Real Property Tax or 
(ii) the nature of which was hereinbefore included within the definition of 
Real Property Tax.
   
   10.3 JOINT ASSESSMENT. If the Premises are not separately assessed, 
Tenant's liability shall be an equitable proportion of the Real Property 
Taxes for all of the land and improvements included within the tax parcel 
assessed, such proportion to be determined by Landlord from the respective 
valuations assigned in the assessor's work sheets or such other information 
as may be reasonably available. Landlord's reasonable determination thereof, 
in good faith, shall be conclusive.
   
   10.4 PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES. Tenant shall pay prior to delinquency all 
taxes assessed against and levied upon trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment 
and all personal property of Tenant contained in the Premises or elsewhere. 
When possible, Tenant shall cause said trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment 
and all other personal property to be assessed and billed separately from the 
real property of Landlord.
   
11. UTILITIES. Tenant shall pay for heat, water, gas, electricity, and any 
other utilities and services supplied to the Premises together with taxes 
thereon. Tenant shall be responsible for any installation or hook-up charge. 
Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for interruption in or curtailment of 
any utility service, nor shall any such interruption in or curtailment 
constitute a constructive eviction or grounds for rental abatement. If any 
such services are not separately metered to Tenant, Tenant shall pay a 
reasonable proportion to be determined by Landlord of all charges jointly 
metered with other premises.

12. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

   12.1 LANDLORD'S CONSENT REQUIRED. Tenant shall not voluntarily or by 
operation of law assign, mortgage, sublet, or otherwise transfer or encumber 
all or any part of Tenant's interest in this Lease or in the Premises without 
Landlord's prior written consent. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold 
its consent to an assignment or sublet, provided the proposed assignee or 
sublessee is reasonably satisfactory to Landlord as to credit and will occupy 
and use the Premises for the same purposes specified in Paragraph 1. Any 
attempted assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance or subletting without 
such consent shall constitute a breach of this Lease and be voidable at 
Landlord's election. Tenant shall pay to Landlord five hundred dollars ($500) 
as compensation for expenses in connection with any request for Landlord's 
consent by Tenant. See addendum.
   
   12.2 NO RELEASE OF TENANT. Regardless of Landlord's consent, no subletting 
or assignment shall release Tenant of Tenant's obligation or alter the 
primary liability of Tenant to pay the Rent and to perform all other 
obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of Rent by 
Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord 
of any provision hereof. Consent to one assignment or subletting shall not be 
deemed consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting.
   
   12.3 RECAPTURE OF PREMISES. In connection with any proposed assignment or 
sublease of the entire Premises, Tenant shall submit to Landlord in writing 
(a) the name of the proposed assignee or sublessee, (b) such information as 
to its financial responsibility and standing as Landlord may reasonably 
require, and (c) all of the terms and conditions upon which the proposed 
assignment or subletting is to be made. Landlord shall have an option to 
cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to the Premises which is to be 
assigned or sublet. Landlord may exercise said option in writing within 
thirty (30) days after its receipt from Tenant of such request to assign or 
sublease the Premises. If Landlord shall exercise its option, Tenant shall 
surrender possession of the entire Premises.  
   
   12.4 EXCESS SUBLEASE RENTAL. If, on account of or in connection with any 
assignment or sublease of more than 50% of the Premises Tenant receives rent 
or other consideration in excess of the Rent called for hereunder, or in the 
case of the sublease of a portion of the Premises, in excess of the pro rata 
Rent based on the floor area of such portion, after appropriate adjustments 
to assure all other payments called for hereunder are appropriately taken 
into account, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Fifty Percent (50%) of the excess 
of such payment of rent or other consideration received by Tenant promptly 
after its receipt.
   
13. DEFAULTS; REMEDIES.

   13.1 DEFAULTS. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events 
shall constitute a material default and breach of this Lease by Tenant:       

    (a) The vacating or abandonment of the Premises by Tenant for at least 
thirty (30) days.

    (b) The failure by Tenant to make any payment of Rent or any other 
payment required to be made by Tenant hereunder, as and when due, where such 
failure shall continue for a period of three (3) days after written notice 
thereof from Landlord to Tenant.

    (c) The failure by Tenant to observe or perform any of the covenants, 
conditions or provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Tenant, 
other than described in Paragraph 13.1(b), where such failure shall continue 
for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord 
to Tenant; provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant's default is such 
that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for its cure, then 
Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default it Tenant commences such cure 
within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such 
cure to completion.

    (d)(i) The making by Tenant of any general arrangement or assignment for 
the benefit of creditors; (ii) the filing by or against Tenant of a petition 
to have Tenant adjudged bankrupt or a petition for reorganization or 
arrangement under any law relating to bankruptcy (unless, the same is 
dismissed within sixty (60) days); (iii) the appointment of a trustee or 
receiver to take possession of substantially all of Tenant's assets located 
at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease, where possession is 
not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or (iv) the attachment, 
execution or other judicial seizure of substantially all of Tenant's assets 
located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease, where such 
seizure is not discharged within thirty (30) days.

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

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

    (a) Terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises, in which case 
this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately surrender possession 
of the Premises to Landlord. In such event, Landlord shall be entitled to 
recover from Tenant all damages incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant's 
default including, but not limited to, the cost of recovering possession of 
the Premises; expenses of reletting including necessary renovation of the 
Premises, reasonable attorneys' fees, and any real estate commission actually 
paid; the worth at the time of award by the court having jurisdiction thereof 
of the amount by which the unpaid Rent for the balance of the Term after the 
time of such award exceeds the amount of such rental loss for the same period 
that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; and that portion of the 
leasing commission paid by Landlord applicable to the unexpired Term of this 
Lease. Unpaid installments of Rent or other sums shall bear interest from the 
date due at the lesser of twelve percent (12%) or the maximum rate then 
allowable by law.
          
                                   -4-

<PAGE>

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

    (c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Landlord under the
laws or judicial decisions of the State of California.

   13.3 DEFAULT BY LANDLORD. Landlord shall not be in default unless Landlord 
fails to perform obligations required of Landlord within thirty (30) days 
after written notice by Tenant to Landlord and to the holder of any mortgage 
or deed of trust covering the Premises whose name and address shall have 
theretofore been furnished to Tenant in writing, specifying wherein Landlord 
has failed to perform such obligations; provided, however, that if the nature 
of Landlord's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required 
for performance, then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences 
performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently 
prosecutes the same to completion.

   13.4 LATE CHARGES. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to 
Landlord of Rent and other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur 
costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be 
extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, 
processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on 
Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. 
Accordingly, if any installment of Rent or any other sum due from Tenant 
shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord's designee within five business 
(5) days after such amount shall be due, then, without any requirement for 
notice to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to five 
percent (5%) of such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such late 
charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will 
incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charge by 
Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with 
respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of 
the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.

14. CONDEMNATION. If the Premises or any portion thereof are taken under 
the power of eminent domain, or sold under the threat of the exercise of said 
power (all of which are herein called "Condemnation"), this Lease shall 
terminate as to the part so taken as of the date the condemning authority 
takes title or possession, whichever first occurs. If more than ten percent 
(10%) of the floor area of the building on the Premises or more than twenty- 
five percent (25%) of the land area of the Premises which is not occupied by 
any building is taken by Condemnation; then Tenant may, at Tenant's option to 
be exercised in writing only within ten (10) days after Landlord shall have 
given Tenant written notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice, 
within ten (10) days after the condemning authority shall have taken 
possession), terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning authority 
takes such possession. If Tenant does not terminate this Lease in accordance 
with the foregoing, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect as to 
the portion of the Premises remaining, except that the Rent shall be reduced 
in the proportion that the floor area taken bears to the total floor area of 
the building situated on the Premises. No reduction in Rent shall occur if 
the only area taken is that which does not have a building located thereon. 
Any award for the taking of all or any part of the Premises under the power 
of eminent domain or any payment made under threat of the exercise of such 
power shall be the property of Landlord, whether such award shall be made as 
compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or for the taking of 
the fee, or as severance damages, provided, however, that Tenant shall be 
entitled to any award for loss or damage to Tenant's trade fixtures and 
removable personal property. In the event that this Lease is not terminated 
by reason of such Condemnation, Landlord shall, to the extent of severance 
damages received by Landlord in connection with such Condemnation, repair any 
damage to the Premises caused by such Condemnation except to the extent that 
Tenant has been reimbursed therefor by the condemning authority. 

15. EXAMINATION OF LEASE. Submission of this instrument for examination or 
signature by Tenant does not constitute a reservation of or option to lease. 
This instrument is not effective as a lease or otherwise until execution and 
delivery by Landlord and Tenant.

16. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE.

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

    (b) At Landlord's option, Tenant's failure to deliver such statement 
within ten (10) days of receipt of written notice shall be a material breach 
of this Lease or shall be conclusive upon Tenant (i) that this Lease is in 
full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by 
Landlord, (ii) that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's performance, 
and (iii) that not more than one month's Rent has been paid in advance.

     (c) If Landlord desires to finance, refinance or sell the Premises, or 
any part thereof, Tenant hereby agrees upon ten (10) days prior written 
notice to deliver to Landlord such financial statements of Tenant as may be 
reasonably required by a lender or purchaser. Such statement shall include 
the most recent three years' financial statements of Tenant. All such 
financial statements shall be received by Landlord in confidence and shall be 
used only for the purposes herein set forth.

17. LANDLORD'S LIABILITY. Whenever Landlord conveys its interest in the 
Premises, Landlord shall be automatically released from all liability as 
respects the further performance of covenants on the part of Landlord herein 
contained provided the assignee executes an assumption agreement expressly 
agreeing to assume all of Landlord's obligations with respect to this Lease. 
If requested, Tenant shall execute a form of release and such other 
documentation as may be required to further effect these provisions. Tenant 
agrees to look solely to Landlord's estate and interest in the Premises for 
the satisfaction of any liability, duty or obligation of Landlord in respect 
to this Lease or the relationship of Landlord and Tenant hereunder and no 
other assets of Landlord shall be subject to any liability therefor. Tenant 
agrees it will not seek and hereby waives any recourse against the individual 
partners, directors, officers, employees or shareholders of Landlord or any 
of their personal assets for such satisfaction.

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

19. INTEREST ON PAST-DUE OBLIGATIONS. Except as expressly herein provided, 
any amount due to Landlord not paid when due shall bear interest at the 
lesser of twelve percent (12%) or the maximum rate then allowable by law from 
the date due. Payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default 
by Tenant under this Lease. 

20. TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence.

21. ADDITIONAL RENT. Any monetary obligations of Tenant to Landlord under the 
terms of this Lease shall be deemed to be rent.

22. INCORPORATION OF PRIOR AGREEMENTS; AMENDMENTS. This Lease contains all 
agreements of the parties with respect to any matter mentioned herein. No 
prior agreement or understanding pertaining to any such matter shall be 
effective. This Lease may be modified in writing only, signed by the parties 
in interest at the time of the modification.

23. NOTICES. Any notice required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be 
in writing and may be given by personal service or by certified mail, return 
receipt requested. Notice by certified mail shall be deemed served on the 
date of delivery as shown on the postal receipt. Either party may by notice 
to the other specify a different address for notice purposes, except that, 
upon Tenant's taking possession of the Premises, the Premises shall 
constitute Tenant's address for notice purposes. A copy of all notices to be 
given to Landlord hereunder shall be concurrently transmitted by Tenant to 
such party or parties at such addresses as Landlord may hereafter designate 
by notice to Tenant.

24. WAIVERS. No waiver by Landlord of any provision hereof shall be deemed a 
waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by Tenant of 
the same or any other provision. Landlord's consent to or approval of any act 
shall not be deemed to render unnecessary the obtaining of Landlord's consent 
to or approval of any subsequent act by Tenant. The acceptance of Rent 
hereunder by Landlord shall not be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant 
or of any provision hereof, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the 
particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such 
preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent. Partial or 
incomplete payments accepted by Landlord shall not be a waiver or considered 
an accord and satisfaction of any amounts due.

                                        -5-

<PAGE>

25. CAPTIONS. Paragraph captions are not a part hereof.
 
26. HOLDING OVER. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises or any part 
thereof after the expiration of the Term without the express written consent 
of Landlord, such occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month at a 
rental equal to the Rent during the last month of the Term increased by 
twenty percent (20%) and upon all the terms hereof applicable to a 
month-to-month tenancy.
 
27. CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No remedy or election hereunder shall be deemed 
exclusive but shall, wherever possible, be cumulative with all other remedies 
at law or in equity.
 
28. COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS. Each provision of this Lease performable by 
Tenant shall be deemed both a covenant and a condition.
 
29. BINDING EFFECT; CHOICE OF LAW. Subject to the provisions of Paragraphs 12 
and 17, this Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the 
parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns and legal 
representatives. This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State of 
California.
 
30. SUBORDINATION.

    (a) This Lease, at Landlord's option, shall be subordinate to any ground 
lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or any other hypothecation or security now or 
hereafter placed upon the real property of which the Premises are a part and 
to any and all advances made on the security thereof and to all renewals, 
modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. 
Landlord's election to subordinate this Lease shall not be effective unless 
the ground lessor, mortgagee or trustee shall execute with Tenant a 
nondisturbance agreement recognizing that Tenant's right to quiet possession 
of the Premises shall not be disturbed if Tenant is not in default and so 
long as Tenant shall pay the Rent and observe and perform all the provisions 
of this Lease. If any mortgagee, trustee or ground lessor shall elect to have 
this Lease prior to the lien of its mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, 
and shall give written notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed 
prior to such mortgage, deed of trust, or ground lease, whether this Lease is 
dated prior or subsequent to the date of said mortgage, deed of trust or 
ground lease or the date of recording thereof.

    (b) Tenant agrees to execute any documents required to effectuate an 
attornment, a subordination or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any 
mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, as the case may be. Tenant's failure 
to execute such documents within ten (10) days after written demand shall 
constitute a default by Tenant hereunder, or at Landlord's option, Landlord 
shall execute such documents on behalf of Tenant as Tenant's 
attorney-in-fact. Tenant does hereby make, constitute and irrevocably appoint 
Landlord as Tenant's attorney-in-fact and in Tenant's name, place and stead 
to execute such documents.

31. ATTORNEY'S FEES. If Landlord or Tenant brings an action to enforce its 
respective rights hereunder, the unsuccessful party therein agrees to pay all 
costs incurred by the prevailing party therein, including reasonable 
attorney's fees and court costs to be fixed by the court.
 
32. LANDLORD'S ACCESS. Landlord and Landlord's agents shall have the right to 
enter the Premises at reasonable times for the purpose of inspecting the 
same, showing the same to prospective purchasers, lenders, or tenants, and 
making such alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises 
or to the building of which they are a part as Landlord may deem necessary or 
desirable. Landlord may at any time during the last one hundred twenty (120) 
days of the Term hereof place on or about the Premises any ordinary "For 
Sale" or "For Lease" signs, all without rebate of Rent or liability to Tenant.
 
33. AUCTIONS. Tenant shall not conduct any auction without Landlord's prior 
written consent.
                                             
34. SIGNS. Any sign placed on the Premises shall contain only Tenant's name 
and slogan or the name of any affiliate of Tenant actually occupying the 
Premises, but no advertising matter. No such sign shall be erected until 
Tenant has obtained Landlord's written approval which shall not unreasonably 
be withheld, of the location, materials, size, design, and content thereof 
and any necessary permit therefor. Tenant shall remove any such sign upon 
termination and return the Premises to their condition prior to the placement 
of said sign.
 
35. MERGER. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a 
mutual cancellation thereof, or a termination by Landlord, shall not work a 
merger and shall at the option of the Landlord, terminate all or any existing 
subtenancies or may, at the option of Landlord, operate as an assignment to 
Landlord of any or all of such tenancies.
 
36. EASEMENTS, BOUNDARY CHANGES. Landlord reserves to itself the right, from 
time to time, to grant such easements, rights, dedications and enact boundary 
and common area configuration adjustments that Landlord deems necessary or 
desirable and to cause the recordation of parcel maps and restrictions, so 
long as they do not unreasonably interfere with the use of the Premises by 
Tenant. Tenant shall sign any of the aforementioned documents upon request of 
Landlord and failure to do so shall constitute a breach of this Lease by 
Tenant.
 
37. QUIET POSSESSION. Upon Tenant's paying the Rent, additional rent and 
other sums provided hereunder and observing and performing all of the 
covenants, conditions and provisions on Tenant's part to be observed and 
performed hereunder, Tenant shall have quiet possession of the Premises for 
the entire Term hereof, subject to the provisions of this Lease.
 
38. AUTHORITY. If Tenant is a corporation, trust or partnership, each 
individual executing this Lease on behalf of such entity represents and 
warrants that he is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease on 
behalf of said entity. If Tenant is a corporation, trust or partnership, 
Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after execution of this Lease, deliver 
evidence of such authority satisfactory to Landlord.

See addendum for paragraphs 39 through 45.

            ADDENDUM TO STANDARD INDUSTRIAL LEASE 
              DATED APRIL 25, 1997 BY AND BETWEEN
        27 RAILROAD PARTNERSHIP L.P. ("LANDLORD") AND 
                HANSEN BEVERAGE COMPANY ("TENANT")
                          
39. RENT INCREASES. The Rent as called for in Paragraph 1 shall commence at 
fifteen thousand dollars ($15,000) per month. The Rent shall be increased 
periodically according to the following schedule:
           
               Months                   Monthly Rental
               -----------              --------------
               1 through 5                 $15,000
               6 through 24                $23,200
               25 through 45               $24,700
               46 through 69               $25,900
               70 through 89               $27,200
              
40. ADDITIONAL SECURITY DEPOSIT. As additional Security Deposit, Tenant will, 
during months 4 through 28 of the Term, provide in favor of Landlord an 
unconditional, irrevocable standby letter of credit, available to Landlord's 
drafts at sight, drawn on a major bank in the amount of fifty thousand 
dollars ($50,000) ("Additional Security Deposit"). Such Additional Security 
Deposit shall be submitted to Landlord in a form satisfactory to Landlord 
prior to the commencement of the construction of the additional office 
improvements contemplated in Paragraph 41 below. If the letter of credit is 
issued for less than the 24 month period as shown above, Tenant shall replace 
the letter of credit prior to its expiration. Any draws on the letter of 
credit shall become a cash Security Deposit only and be governed by the 
provisions of Paragraph 5.2 and shall not be considered payments for amounts 
due nor shall such draws cure any prior defaults. If Tenant cures the default 
and pays the amount of any prior draw so that all Tenant's defaults are 
cured, Landlord shall upon written request from Tenant return the balance of 
the Security Deposit to Tenant provided Tenant shall again provide to 
Landlord the letter of credit in an amount as outlined above.
      
41. TENANT IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE. Landlord shall provide a tenant improvement 
allowance (the "Improvement Allowance") in the amount of two hundred and ten 
thousand dollars ($210,000) for the design and construction, etc., of 
additional offices and other improvements as outlined in Exhibit "B" or any 
other improvement approved by Landlord ("Improvements") as well as for 
payment of any upgrade costs that may be incurred toward initial 1,800 sq. 
ft. of existing office space over the specified allowances and rates provided 
therefore. In the event that the Improvements cost more than the Improvement 
Allowance, Tenant shall have the right to reduce the Improvements to limit 
the cost to the Improvement Allowance; or, alternatively, Tenant shall pay to 
Landlord on demand the cost of the Improvements above the Improvement 
Allowance. If Tenant does not pay to Landlord the extra costs above the 
Improvement Allowance or notify Landlord of the items to be eliminated within 
ten (10) days of written notice from Landlord, Landlord may in its sole 
discretion eliminate items to bring the budget within the Improvement 
Allowance and proceed with the construction of the Improvements as revised. 
In no event shall commencement of Rent be delayed due to any delay in 
completion of the tenant improvement items. Up to ten percent (10%) of any 
Improvement Allowance unspent after the first year of the Term may be applied 
toward the Rent.
      
    Tenant shall provide Landlord with the mutually acceptable office tenant 
improvement plan on or before September 15, 1997 and Landlord shall cause the 
construction of the additional offices to be completed no later than January 
31, 1998.
      
42. RENT WAIVER. Landlord hereby grants a rent waiver to Tenant in the amount 
of sixty thousand dollars ($60,000) to be applied toward the Rent due under 
this Lease as follows:
