  • Commercial Lease. Start a state-specific lease for the rental of commercial property. Specify the term and rent due, as well as whether the landlord or tenant is responsible for property taxes, insurance, and maintenance and repairs.
  • Commercial Sublease. When a tenant vacates commercial property before the lease term has expired, it may be able to rent the premises to a third party. The tenant would be the sublessor and the third party would be the sublessee. Besides preparing a sublease, both parties will want to review the provisions for assignment or subletting in the original lease agreement between the landlord and the sublessor.
  • Sublease Agreement. Tenants of residential property should prepare a sublease agreement if they are seeking to sublease a room or the entire apartment or house to a third party. All parties should review the original lease agreement to see if there are any restrictions on subletting or assigning the premises.
  • Triple Net Lease. Triple net leases are a type of commercial leases where the tenant has to pay for property taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance, in addition to the monthly rent.
  • Office Space Lease. When renting an office space, tenants should understand the amount of the rent and duration of the lease. Other important terms include whether the space can be subleased, which parties are responsible for maintenance, and whether any furniture and furnishings will be provided.

purposes as of the 24th day of January, 2000 ("Effective Date"), is made by and
between FIRST STATE REALTY OF AMERICA, INC., a Delaware corporation, and
INTERTRUST TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation.

                                   ARTICLE 1

                                    PREMISES

     Section 1.1  Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from
     -----------
Landlord, for the term and subject to the covenants, agreements and conditions
hereinafter set forth, those certain premises located at 4800 Patrick Henry
Drive, Santa Clara, California (the "Premises") as more particularly described
on EXHIBIT A attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein, and the
improvements thereon (the "Building") including the exclusive right to use all
parking on the Premises, as such parking may be reconfigured by Tenant from time
to time in accordance with all applicable laws and prior written approval by
Landlord, subject to the estates, interests, liens, charges, encumbrances and
matters set forth in EXHIBIT B annexed hereto and made a part hereof.

     Section 1.2  The "Rentable Area" of the Building is agreed to be fifty-
     -----------

Premises leased to Tenant hereunder is agreed to be fifty-eight thousand three

                                   ARTICLE 2
                                TERM; EXTENSIONS

     Section 2.1  The term of this Lease (the "Lease Term") shall commence on
     -----------
March 9, 2000 (the "Commencement Date") and terminate on August 31, 2004 (the
"Expiration Date"), subject to earlier termination or Tenant's right to extend
the Lease Term under the terms of this Lease. Landlord shall tender possession
of the Premises to Tenant on or before the Commencement Date, provided that the
Commencement Date shall be extended for no more than 60 days for any and all
delays resulting from causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. If
Landlord fails to deliver possession by such date other than due to delays
beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, Tenant, as its sole remedy and in
lieu of all other remedies provided herein or by law, may, at its election,
terminate this Lease by serving on Landlord at any time after the Commencement
Date a written Notice of Termination.

     Section 2.2  Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the option to extend the
     -----------
Lease Term for a term of five (5) years at fair market net rent, determined in
accordance with Section 2.3 below (the "Extension Term"), upon and subject to
the following terms and conditions:

          (a) The Extension Term shall commence on the day next succeeding the
Expiration Date of the initial Lease Term.

          (b) Tenant shall exercise such option as to the Extension Term by
giving written notice of exercise of the option (the "Option Notice") to
Landlord at least one hundred eighty (180) days but no more than two hundred
seventy (270) days before the first day of such
<PAGE>

Extension Term, time being of the essence. Landlord and Tenant shall have a 30
day period after Landlord receives the Option Notice in which to agree on Annual
Base Rent during the Extension Term, which shall include, without limitation, a
rent escalation for each year of the Extension Term if market lease rates at
that time assume annual rent escalations. If the parties are unable to agree on
the Annual Base Rent for the Extension Term within such 30-day period, the
Annual Base Rent for the Extension Term shall be the fair market net rent (as
defined in Section 2.3 below) for the Premises, which shall be conclusively
determined in the manner set forth in Section 2.3 below.

          (c) When exercising such right and on the Expiration Date of the
initial Lease Term, Tenant shall not be in default, beyond any applicable grace
period, in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease, or
Tenant's exercise of its option shall be deemed ineffective, and this Lease
shall terminate on the Expiration Date without notice.

          (d) If Tenant elects to exercise its option to extend the Lease Term,
all the provisions of this Lease shall be applicable during each Extension Term
except that:

              (i)  Tenant shall have no further right to extend this Lease
beyond the Extension Term;

              (ii) Effective as of the commencement of the Extension Term
("Extension Term Commencement Date"), the Annual Base Rent in effect shall be
increased as set forth in this Section 2.2 and Section 2.3 below.

     As used hereinafter, the term "Lease Term" shall mean the initial Lease
Term, plus the Extension Term as to which Tenant gives a timely Option Notice
and all references to the Expiration Date shall mean the final day of the Lease
Term as so extended.

     Section 2.3
     -----------

          (a) For purposes of this Lease, "fair market net rent" shall be deemed
to mean the base amount of rental which would typically be paid by a tenant
under a net lease (exclusive of all other sums payable by the tenant under a net
lease such as taxes, insurance premiums, common area maintenance charges, repair
and restoration costs, and similar charges) for premises of a similar type,
design and quality in the same or similar quality geographic area in which the
Premises are situated trader market leasing conditions existing at that time and
including, without limitation, a rent escalation for each year of the Extension
Term if market lease rates at that time assume annual rent escalations.

          (b) Within 10 days after the expiration of the 30-day period described
in Section 2.2 above, each party at its cost and by giving notice to the other
party, shall appoint a real estate appraiser with at least five years full-time
commercial appraisal experience in the geographical area in which the Premises
are located, to appraise and set the then fair market net rent for the Extension
Term. If a party does not appoint an appraiser within 10 days after the other
party has given notice of the name of its appraiser, the single appraiser
appointed shall be the sole appraiser and shall set the fair market net rent for
the Extension Term.

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

          (c) If the two appraisers are appointed by the parties as stated in
this Section 2.3, they shall meet promptly and attempt to appraise and set the
then fair market net rent for the Extension Term. If they are unable to agree
within 30 days after the second appraiser has been appointed, they shall attempt
to select a third appraiser, meeting the qualifications stated in this Section
2.3, within 10 days after the last day the two appraisers are given to set the
Annual Base Rent. If they are unable to agree on a third appraiser, either of
the parties to this Lease, by giving 10 days written notice to the other party,
may apply to the presiding judge of the Superior Court for Santa Clara County
for the selection of a third appraiser who meets the qualifications stated in
this Section 2.3. Each of the parties shall bear one-half of the cost of
appointing the third appraiser, and of paying the third appraiser's fees. The
third appraiser, however selected, shall be a person who has not previously
acted in any capacity for either party.

          (d) Within 30 days after the selection of the third appraiser, a
majority of the appraisers shall appraise and set the fair market net rent for
the Extension Term. If a majority of the appraisers are unable to so set the
fair market net rent within the stipulated period of time, the three appraisals
of same shall be added together and their total divided by three. The resulting
quotient shall be the fair market net rent for the Extension Term.

          (e) If, however, the low appraisal and/or the high appraisal are more
than 10% lower or higher than the middle appraisal, the low appraisal and/or the
high appraisal shall he disregarded. If only one appraisal is disregarded, the
remaining two appraisals shall be added together and their total divided by two.
The resulting quotient shall be the fair market net rent for the Premises during
the Extension Terns.

          (f) If the foregoing appraisal process continues through the Extension
Term Commencement Date, Tenant shall continue to pay Annual Base Rent at the
rate payable for the last year of the initial term of this Lease. Within 10 days
after completion of the appraisal process, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the
difference between the adjusted Annual Base Rent and the Annual Base Rent
previously paid by Tenant (pursuant to the previous sentence) after the
Extension Term Commencement Date.

     Section 2.4  Any holding over by Tenant of all or any part of the Premises
     -----------
after the expiration of the Lease Term shall be construed as a tenancy From
month-to-month, upon all of the other terms and conditions as set forth in this
Lease, except that Tenant shall pay as Annual Base Rent for the holdover period
an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the last Annual Base Rent
payable hereunder on a per diem basis plus all Additional Rent payable
hereunder. Landlord may terminate such month-to-month tenancy upon 30 days
written notice to the Tenant.

     Section 2.5  Upon written notice from Tenant of its need for early
     -----------
possession, Landlord will use reasonable efforts, at no cost or expense to
Landlord, to negotiate and execute a written early lease termination agreement
between Landlord and the current tenant so that Landlord will be able to deliver
possession of the Premises to Tenant prior to the Commencement Date, subject to
all of the terms and conditions of this Lease other than the obligation to pay
Rent, which obligation shall not commence until March 23, 2000.

extended and that (except for Landlord's maintenance and repair responsibilities
under Article 12 hereof) all costs, expenses and charges directly relating to
the Premises which may arise or become due during the Lease Term shall be paid
by Tenant, and that Landlord shall be indemnified and saved harmless by Tenant

or demand and without abatement, deduction or set-off.

by reason of any default of Tenant or failure on Tenant's part to comply with
the agreements, terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part

deposit with Landlord, in cash, the sum of One Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand

may, without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligation under this Lease,
and without waiving its right to treat such failure as a default hereof, use,
apply, or retain the whole or any part of the Security

Deposit reasonably necessary to remedy such failure of Tenant and to compensate
Landlord for damage it suffers thereby. If Landlord uses, applies, or retains
all or any portion of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall, within five (5)
business days of written demand by Landlord, remit to Landlord sufficient funds
to restore said Security Deposit to its original sum. Tenant's failure to do so
shall be a material breach of this Lease. Landlord shall not be a trustee of the
Security Deposit, and may commingle it, use it in ordinary business, transfer or
assign it, or use it in any combination of those ways. Tenant shall not be
entitled to any interest on the Security Deposit. Said Security Deposit shall be
returned to Tenant within 30 days following the expiration or sooner termination
of this Lease and surrender of the Premises by Tenant, to the extent not already
applied by Landlord in the manner described above.

or other persons guilty of such unlawful, illegal, disreputable or
extrahazardous use.

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

          (a) Tenant shall not use the Premises in any manner that will

                                     TAXES

     Section 7.1    Tenant shall pay before delinquency all taxes or assessments
     -----------
that become payable during the Lease Term which are levied or assessed upon
Tenant's Personal Property.

     Section 7.2    Tenant shall be responsible to pay, reimburse and indemnify
     -----------
Landlord for all taxes, assessments, water rents, rates and charges, sewer
rents, transit taxes, excises, levies and other governmental impositions and
charges of every kind and nature whatsoever, extraordinary as well as ordinary,
foreseen or unforeseen, and each and every installment thereof which shall or
may during the Lease Term be charged, laid, levied, assessed, imposed, become
due and payable, or liens upon, or arise in connection with the use, occupancy
or possession of, or grow due or payable out of, or for, the Premises or any
part thereof, or any buildings, appurtenances or equipment thereon or therein or
any part thereof, the rent, income or other payments received from subtenants by
Tenant or anyone claiming by, through or under Tenant, any tax attributable to
the execution, delivery, or recording of this Lease or any modification thereof,
and all taxes charged, laid, levied, assessed or imposed in lieu of or in
addition to the foregoing under or by virtue of all present or future laws,
ordinances, requirements, orders, directions, rules or regulations of the
federal, state, county and municipal governments and of all other governmental
authorities whatsoever, and all fees and charges of public and governmental
authorities for construction, maintenance, occupation or use during the term of
any vault, passageway or space in, over or under any sidewalk or street on or
adjacent to the Premises, or for construction, maintenance or use during the
term of any part of any building covered hereby within the limits of any street
(all of the foregoing being collectively referred to herein as "Real Property
Taxes"). Real Property Taxes shall not, however, include any penalties,
interest, or other charges imposed or incurred by reason of Landlord's failure
to pay any Real Property Taxes as the same shall become due (unless such failure
by Landlord is due to Tenant's failure to timely pay Real Property Taxes).
Tenant shall pay before their due date, any and all of the Real Property Taxes
to Landlord within the later of ten (10) days after receipt from Landlord of a
tax bill or other evidence that the Real Property Taxes are due and payable, or
twenty (20) days before the Real Property Taxes are delinquent.

     Section 7.3    All such Real Property Taxes which shall be charged, laid,
     -----------
levied, assessed or imposed for each fiscal period in which the Lease Term
commences and terminates shall be apportioned pro rata between Landlord and
Tenant in accordance with the respective portions of each such fiscal period
during which such Lease Term shall be in effect based on a 365 day year.
Supplementing the foregoing, Tenant shall be solely responsible for any
increases in Real Property Taxes which result from the transfer of the Premises
to the Tenant.

     Section 7.4    Nothing herein contained shall require or be construed to
     -----------
require Tenant to pay any estate, succession, transfer, gift, franchise, or
corporation income tax, that is or may be imposed upon Landlord; provided
however, that if at any time during the Lease Term the methods of taxation
prevailing at the commencement of the Lease Term shall be altered so that in
lieu of, as a substitute for, or an addition to the whole or any part of the
taxes, assessments, levies, impositions or charges now levied, assessed or
imposed on real estate and the improvements thereon, there shall be levied,
assessed and imposed, (i) a tax, assessment, levy,

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

imposition or charge, wholly or partially as a capital levy, or otherwise, on
the rents received therefrom, or (ii) a tax, assessment, levy (including but not
limited to any municipal, state or federal levy), imposition or charge measured
by or based in whole or in part upon the Premises and imposed upon Landlord, or
(iii) a license fee measured by the rent payable by Tenant under this Lease, or
(iv) a tax, assessment, levy, imposition or charge, wholly or partially
attributable to the execution, delivery, or recording of this Lease or any
modification thereof, then to the extent that such taxes, assessments, levies,
impositions, charges or license fees or the part thereof so measured or based,
would be payable if the Premises were the only property of Landlord subject
thereto, Tenant shall pay and discharge the same as herein provided. Tenant's
tax obligations shall not include any environmental assessments, charges or
liens arising in connection with remediation of Hazardous Materials existing on
the Premises prior to the Tenant taking possession.

     Tenant shall have the right, with Landlord's written approval, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, at any time and at Tenant's
expense, to contest in good faith by judicial proceedings or otherwise, any real
or personal property assessment, valuation or tax reasonably deemed to be
excessive by Tenant, and in such event Tenant shall not be obligated to pay such
assessment, valuation or tax until a final judicial determination of such
contest, but shall post such bonds as required by law to protect Landlord
throughout any such contest. If a reduction of taxes is obtained for any year of
the Term during which Tenant paid such taxes, to the extent Landlord receives a
refund of such taxes, Landlord shall refund such amount to Tenant within five
(5) days after such reduction is received by Landlord, which refund obligation
shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

     If, by applicable law, any taxes or assessments may be paid in installments
at the option of the taxpayer, then whether or not Landlord elects to pay taxes
and assessments in such installments, Tenant's liability for such taxes and
assessments shall be computed as if such election had been made, and only the
installments thereof which would have become due during the Term shall be
included in Tenant's tax obligations.

                                   ARTICLE 8

                                   INSURANCE

     Section 8.1    Tenant, at its cost, shall maintain commercial general
     -----------
liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death and
property damage in or about the Premises with a liability limit in the amount of
$5,000,000 in respect of personal injury or death to any one person, and of not
less than $5,000,000 in respect of any one occurrence, and of not less than
$5,000,000 for property damage, insuring against all liability of Tenant and its
authorized representatives arising out of or in connection with Tenant's use or
occupancy of the Premises. All such liability insurance shall insure performance
by Tenant of the indemnity provisions of Section 9.1. Landlord (and, if Landlord
requests, its lender) shall be named as an additional insureds, and the policy
shall contain cross-liability endorsements, but only to the extent the insurance
insures Tenant's performance of its indemnity obligations under Section 9.1. Not
more frequently than each three (3) years, if, in the opinion of Landlord's
lender or the reasonable opinion of an insurance broker retained by Landlord,
the amount of commercial liability insurance coverage at that time is not
adequate, Tenant shall increase the liability limit

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

of the insurance coverage as reasonably recommended by either Landlord's lender
or Landlord's insurance broker. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense,
procure and maintain at all times when any alterations are being made, (i)
owner's contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims not covered
by or under the provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability
insurance policy, (ii) contractual liability insurance covering the indemnity
contained in section 9.1 hereof, (iii) host liquor liability insurance, and (iv)
builder's risk completed value coverage for 100% of the contract price, deleting
all co-insurance penalties, against all risks insured against pursuant to
section 8.4 hereof.

     Section 8.2    Tenant, at its sole cost, shall maintain on all its personal
     -----------
property, tenant improvements, and alterations, in, on, or about the Premises, a
policy providing "Special Form" coverage, to the extent of 100% of their full
replacement value providing for a reasonable deductible approved annually by
Landlord.

     Section 8.3    Landlord shall maintain on the Building a policy covering
     -----------
such property on a "Special Form" basis including, at Landlord's sole election,
the perils of earthquake to the extent of 100% of full replacement value, and
containing other endorsements designated by Landlord in its sole discretion,
including, without limitation, an endorsement guaranteeing sufficient coverage
to restore the Building to building codes then in effect, and containing no
exclusion for Hazardous Materials contamination due to fire or other causes.
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of such insurance during the term
of the Lease from time to time upon delivery of the insurance premium invoice.

     Section 8.4    Landlord shall, at its election, maintain loss of rents
     -----------
insurance insuring the minimum monthly rent and real property taxes. Said
insurance shall provide coverage for a period of one (1) year if the Building is
destroyed or rendered inaccessible by a risk insured against by the policy of
standard fire and extended coverage insurance, with related endorsements,
described in Section 8.4. Said insurance shall provide that in the event this
Lease is terminated by reason of an insured loss, the period of indemnity for
such coverage shall be extended beyond the date of the completion of repairs or
replacement of the Premises, to provide for one (1) full years' loss of rent
from the date of any such loss. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of
such insurance during the term of the Lease from time to time upon delivery of
the insurance premium invoice.

     Section 8.5    Tenant at its sole cost shall maintain Worker's Compensation
     -----------
insurance in the amounts and as required by the State of California.

     Section 8.6    The parties release each other, and their respective
     -----------
authorized representatives, from any claims for damage to any person or to the
Premises, and to the fixtures, personal property, tenant improvements, and
alterations of either Landlord or Tenant in or on the Premises that are caused
by or result from risks insured against under the fire and extended coverage
insurance policies and commercial liability policies carried by the parties and
in force at the time of any such damage. Each party shall cause each insurance
policy obtained by it to provide that the insurance company waives all right of
recovery by way of subrogation against either party in connection with any
damage covered by such policy. Neither party shall be liable to the other for
any damage caused by fire or any of the risks insured against under such
insurance policy. If any such insurance policy cannot be obtained with a waiver
of subrogation,

                                      -12-
<PAGE>

the party undertaking to obtain the insurance shall give notice to the other
party of this fact. With respect to the insurance described in Sections 8.1 and
8.3 hereof, the other party shall have a period of 10 days after receiving the
notice either to place the insurance with a company that is reasonably
satisfactory to the party which gave notice and that will carry the insurance
with a waiver of subrogation, at the sole cost of Tenant, or if the insurance
cannot be obtained, the party which gave notice is relieved of the obligation to
obtain a waiver of subrogation rights with respect to the particular insurance
involved. With respect to insurance other than those policies described in
Sections 8.1 and 8.3 hereof, the other party may purchase or reimburse for the
purchase of such subrogation coverage.

     Section 8.7    All the insurance required under this Lease shall: (i) be
     -----------
issued by insurance companies admitted to do business in the State of
California, with a financial rating of at least an A-VIII status as rated in the
most recent edition of Best's Insurance Reports and consented to by Landlord;
(ii) as to coverage provided for Landlord as an additional insured, such shall
be primary to, and not contributing with any other insurance available to
Landlord. Any other insurance maintained by Landlord is excess insurance; (iii)
at the insuring party's option, be part of a blanket policy, provided that such
party shall furnish to the other party written evidence specifying the amount of
the total insurance allocated to the Premises, which shall not be less than that
required by Sections 7.2 and 7.3 hereof; (iv) contain an endorsement requiring
30 days written notice from the insurance company to both parties and to
Landlord's lender, if applicable, before cancellation or material change in the
coverage, scope, or amount of any policy; and (v) be evidenced by certificates
to be obtained by the party obtaining the insurance and delivered to the other
party within 10 days after the date such insurance is required to be in effect.
All policies of insurance provided for in Sections 7.2, 7.3, and 7.4 hereof
shall name Landlord and, to the extent required under any Landlord's
encumbrance, Landlord's lender as the insured or additional insureds, as their
respective interests may appear.

liabilities, losses, damages, injunctions, suits, actions, causes of action,
fines, penalties, claims and demands of every kind or nature, including without
limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, by or on behalf of any person,
party or governmental authority whatsoever to the extent arising out of (a) any
failure by Tenant to perform any of the agreements, terms, covenants or
conditions of this Lease on Tenant's part to be performed, (b) any accident,
injury or damage which shall happen in or about the Premises however occurring,
and any matter or thing growing out of the condition, occupation, maintenance,
alteration, repair, use or operation of the Premises, or any part hereof during
the Lease Term, (c) any accident, injury or damage which shall happen on or

of Tenant, or of any other person contained therein, except for injury, damage,
liability or claims caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord.
The provisions hereof permitting Landlord to enter and inspect the Premises are
made for the purpose of enabling Landlord to be informed as to whether Tenant is
complying with the agreements, terms, covenants and conditions hereof, and to do
such acts as Tenant shall fail to do following any applicable notice and cure
periods.

Section 12.1 hereof) during the Lease Term. At Tenant's sole cost and expense,
Landlord shall cooperate fully with Tenant in the manner and to the extent
reasonably required by Tenant in obtaining such services for the Premises during
the Lease Term. Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any interruption or
failure of any utility services to the Premises from any cause whatsoever nor
shall such constitute a constructive eviction or give rise to a right of rent
offset or abatement or effect the obligations of Tenant under this Lease in any
other way whatsoever.

from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or
obligations incurred by Tenant in connection with such Alterations. Landlord
shall have the right to post and keep posted at the Premises any notices which
Landlord may reasonably deem proper for the protection of Landlord, the Premises
and/or the Building from such liens. Furthermore, Tenant shall not at any time
during the Lease Term make any Alteration in or to the Premises or to any
building thereon, unless:

          (a)       the same shall be performed in a professional workmanlike
manner, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, and shall not weaken or impair the
structural strength, or lessen the value, of such buildings as shall be on the
Premise at the time, or change the purposes for which such buildings may be used
(other than for the uses permitted under Section 6.1 of this Lease);

          (b)       Tenant shall pay when due or bond all claims for labor or
material furnished to or for Tenant at or for use in or on the Premises, which
claims may be secured by any mechanics or materialmen's lien against the

any and all claims, costs, or damages arising from labor or materials so
furnished or alleged to have been furnished. Tenant agrees to promptly pursue

completion; and

          (d)       furnish to Landlord a letter guaranteeing the completion of
such work, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, chattel mortgages,
conditional bills of sale, security agreements and financing statements
according to said plans and specifications therefore. None of the foregoing
requirements shall prevent Tenant from contesting in good faith any lien against
the Premises, as long as such contest prevents foreclosure of the lien and
Tenant causes such lien to be bonded or insured over in a manner acceptable to
Landlord in its sole discretion.

     Section 11.2   Unless otherwise provided by Landlord in writing
     ------------
at the time Landlord approves Tenant's request for such Alterations, all
Alterations to the Premises made by Tenant shall become the property of Landlord

Tenant may remove all personal property, trade fixtures, machinery and equipment
installed by Tenant, and fully restore and damage caused by such removal.
Landlord shall provide written notice to Tenant at the time when Landlord's
approval is given for such Alteration, indicating whether Landlord requires
Tenant ripen such expiration or termination of this Lease to remove any or all
such Alterations, and restore the Premises to the condition that

                                      -15-

consent of Landlord is not required under Paragraph 11.1 above, at Landlord's

whether or not necessitated by latent defects or otherwise; and shall use all
reasonable precaution to prevent waste, damage or injury. Landlord shall
maintain and repair only the Building foundation, exterior walls and windows,
parking lot foundation, and roof, provided that these items are not in any way
affected or disturbed by any tenant improvements or such maintenance and/or
repair was caused by Tenant's use of the Premises, or by the acts of Tenant, its
agents, employees, contractors, licensees, or invitees (collectively, "Tenant
Causes"). If it is determined that any such maintenance or repair is required
due to any Tenant Causes, Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of such
maintenance and/or repair, subject to Section 8.7 above and Article 13 below.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall bear the cost in excess of $2,500
of any single act of maintenance, repair, or replacement of any single HVAC unit
servicing all or any portion of the Premises, except where such maintenance,
repair, or replacement is made necessary by the acts or omissions of Tenant, its
agents, employees, contractors, licensees, or invitees, or by the breach by
Tenant of any of its obligations trader this Lease.

time during the term of this Lease and any extension thereof or thereafter
giving Tenant rights or remedies as a result of the physical condition of the

                      DESTRUCTION - FIRE OR OTHER CAUSES

     Section 13.1   If, during the Lease Term, the Building, improvements or the
     ------------
equipment (other than Tenant's Personal Property) on, in or appurtenant to the
Premises at the commencement of the Lease Term or thereafter erected thereon or
therein shall be destroyed or damaged in whole or in part by fire or other
cause, Tenant shall give to Landlord immediate notice thereof. Landlord shall
use reasonable efforts to provide Tenant with written notice of the estimated
time for repairs within thirty (30) days following the damage or destruction in
question. Provided that sufficient insurance proceeds, as reasonably estimated
by Landlord, are available for such repair, including deductibles, Landlord
shall, at its own cost and expense, use reasonable efforts to repair, replace
and rebuild the same, at least to the extent of the value and as nearly as
possible to the character of the Building and improvements and the equipment
therein existing immediately prior to such occurrence (other than Tenant's
Personal Property) as soon as reasonably possible; however, Landlord shall in no
event be called upon to repair, replace or rebuild any such buildings,
improvements or equipment, nor to pay any of the costs or expenses thereof
beyond or in excess of the insurance proceeds as herein provided.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the time for such repairs
shall reasonably be estimated by Landlord to exceed 180 days or if the Building
is destroyed to an extent greater than fifty percent (50.0%) of the replacement
cost, Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminated this Lease, and so long as
(where the damage or destruction has been caused by the act or omission of
Tenant, or any agent, employee, officer, contractor, licensee, or invitee of
Tenant) the Landlord receives the insurance proceeds for loss of rent for the
term remaining on this Lease at such time, Tenant may likewise elect to
terminate this Lease. Provided Landlord has received the insurance proceeds for
loss of rent (where the damage or destruction has been caused by the act or
omission of Tenant, or any agent, employee, officer, contractor, licensee, or
invitee of Tenant), if this Lease is not otherwise terminated as provided above
and Landlord thereafter fails to complete the restoration and re-deliver
possession of the damaged portions of the Premises to Tenant within two hundred
ten (210) days following the damage or destruction in question, Tenant may elect
to terminate this Lease. If Landlord does not receive the insurance proceeds for
loss of rent (where the damage or

                                      -17-
<PAGE>

destruction has been caused by the act or omission of Tenant, or any agent,
employee, officer, contractor, licensee, or invitee of Tenant), Tenant shall not
be entitled to terminate this Lease.

     Section 13.2   Except as specifically provided herein, this Lease shall not
     ------------
terminate or be affected in any manner by reason of damage to or substantial or
partial destruction of the buildings, improvements or equipment on, in or
appurtenant to the Premises at the commencement of the Lease Term or thereafter
erected thereon or therein, or by reason of the untenantability of the Premises,
or any part thereof, for or due to any reason or cause whatsoever, except that
Tenant shall be entitled to abatement of Rent in proportion to the area that is
rendered untenantable or is not reasonably usable by Tenant for its purposes by
reason of the damage or destruction in question bears to the area of the
Building as a whole, which abatement shall commence upon the occurrence of the
damage or destruction in question and shall continue until the restoration of
the Building or damaged portion thereof is completed and possession thereof is
re-delivered to Tenant, but where the damage or destruction has been caused by
the act or omission of Tenant, or any agent, employee, officer, contractor,
licensee, or invitee of Tenant, then only to the extent of payments received by
Landlord under any loss of rents insurance coverage.

     Section 13.3   Tenant waives the provisions of Civil Code Section 1932 (2)
     ------------
and Civil Code Section 1933 (4) with respect to any destruction of the Premises.

                                 CONDEMNATION

     Section 14.1   In the event that the Premises or any part hereof, shall be
     ------------
taken in condemnation proceedings or by exercise of any right of eminent domain
or by any agreement in lieu thereof, Landlord shall be entitled to collect the
entire award made in any such proceeding without deduction therefrom for any
estate hereby vested in or owned by Tenant, subject to the rights of the holder
of any mortgage to which this Lease is or shall be subject and subordinate, and
subject also to Tenant's rights as set forth below in this Article 14. Tenant
agrees to execute any and all further documents that may be reasonably required
in order to facilitate collection and distribution by Landlord of any and all
such awards.

     Section 14.2   If at any time during the Lease Term the whole of
     ------------
the Premises shall be so taken or condemned, this Lease shall terminate and
expire on the date upon which title shall vest in the condemning authority ("the
date of the taking") and the Annual Base Rent provided to be paid by Tenant
shall be apportioned and paid to such date.

     Section 14.3   If only a part of the Premises shall be so taken or
     ------------
condemned, this Lease shall be unaffected by such taking, except that Tenant may
elect to terminate this Lease, in the event of a partial taking, if the
remaining area of the Premises and/or the means of access thereto shall not be
reasonably sufficient for Tenant to continue the operation of its business.
Tenant shall give notice of such election to Landlord not later than thirty (30)
days after (i) notice of such taking is given by Landlord to Tenant, or (ii) the
date of such taking, whichever occurs sooner. Upon the giving of such notice by
Tenant, this Lease shall terminate on the date of such taking and the Annual
Base Rent shall be prorated as of such termination date. Upon such partial

                                      -18-
<PAGE>

taking and this Lease continuing in force as to any part of the Premises, the
Annual Base Rent apportioned to the part taken shall be prorated and adjusted as
of the date of taking and from such date the Annual Base Rent for the Premises
and Additional Rent shall be payable pursuant to Article 4 according to the
rentable area remaining.

     Section 14.4   Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award,
     ------------
subject to Tenant's rights as set forth in this Article 14.

     Section 14.5   In the event of a partial taking which shall not result in
     ------------
termination of this Lease, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to rebuild,
repair and restore the remainder of any building on the Premises affected
thereby to a complete, independent and self-contained architectural unit, for
the purposes in use before the taking, as soon as reasonably possible, to the
extent of condemnation proceeds received by Landlord; provided, however, that in
the event insufficient or no condemnation award is available to cover the cost
of restoration of the Premises, either party may terminate this Lease if
Landlord elects not to provide additional funds for restoration and Tenant
elects not to provide the additional funds.

     Section 14.6   In case of any governmental action, not resulting in the
     ------------
taking or condemnation of any portion of the Premises but creating a right to
compensation therefor, such as, without limitation, the changing of the grade of
any street upon which the Premises abut, or if less than a fee title to all or
any portion of the Premises shall be taken or condemned by any federal, state,
municipal or governmental authority for temporary use or occupancy, unless such
taking unreasonably interferes with Tenant's use of the Premises in which case
Tenant may terminate this Lease, this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect without reduction or abatement of rent, and the rights of Landlord and
Tenant shall be unaffected by the other provisions of this Article 14 and shall
be governed by applicable law; provided, however, that:

          (a) if any such temporary taking for a period not extending beyond the
Lease Term results in changes or alterations in the Building, improvement,
equipment, required parking or utility infrastructure on the Premises which
would necessitate an expenditure to restore the same to their former condition,
or if any other such governmental action shall require alteration to be made in
the Building, improvement or equipment to adapt the same to the change of grade
or other result of such action, then any award or payment made to cover the
expenses of such restoration or alterations shall be received by Landlord and
applied thereto, or

          (b) if any such temporary taking is for a period extending beyond the
Lease Term, the amount of any award or payment allowed or retained for
restoration of any building, improvement or equipment on the Premises, shall
remain the property of Landlord if this Lease shall expire prior to the
restoration of the same to their former condition.

     Section 14.7   Each party waives any statutory right in conflict with the
     ------------
provisions hereof, including without limitation the provisions of the Code of
Civil Procedure Section 1265.130 allowing either party to petition the superior
court to terminate this Lease in the event of a partial taking of the Premises.

     Section 14.8   Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 14 to the
     ------------
contrary, Tenant shall be entitled to seek a separate award from the condemning
authority for the taking of

                                      -19-
<PAGE>

any Tenant's Personal Property, for the interruption of Tenant's business or its
moving or other relocation costs, and for the loss of goodwill, and Landlord
shall have no right, title or interest in or to any separate award made
therefor; provided that no such award shall reduce any award made to Landlord.

                             SIGNS AND ADVERTISING

     Tenant shall not place any sign on or around the Premises without the
advance written consent of City authorities and Landlord, such consent of
Landlord not to be unreasonably delayed, conditioned, or withheld. Tenant shall
maintain any such signs to which Landlord has consented in good condition at its
sole cost and expense. Landlord may enter upon the Premises and remove any sign
not complying with the terms of this section at Tenant's expense.

                               ENTRY BY LANDLORD

     Section 16.1   Landlord and its agents shall have the right to enter into
     ------------
and upon the Premises at all reasonable times for the purpose of examining and
exhibiting the same; provided, however, that Landlord shall provide notice to
Tenant at least 48 hours in advance thereof, except in case of all emergency.
Supplementing the foregoing, Landlord and its authorized representatives shall
have the right to enter the Premises at all reasonable times for any of the
following purposes;

          (a)       To determine whether the Premises are in good condition and
whether Tenant is complying with its obligations under this Lease;

          (b)       To serve, post, or keep posted any notices required or
allowed under the provisions of this Lease;

          (c)       To post "for sale" signs at any time, and to post "for rent"
or "for lease" signs during the last six (6) months of the Lease Term, or during
any period while Tenant is in default beyond any applicable cure period;

          (d)       To show the Premises to prospective tenants at any time
during the last six (6) months of the Lease Term, and to show the Premises to

exchange, at any time during the Lease Term;

          (e)       To shore the foundations, footings, and walls of the
Building and other improvements that are a part of the Premises and to erect
scaffolding and protective barricades around and about the Premises, but not so
as to prevent entry to the Premises, and to do any other act or thing necessary
for the safety or preservation of the Premises if any excavation or other
construction is undertaken or is about to be undertaken on any adjacent property
on which excavation or construction is to take place and the adjacent property
owner's authorized representatives; and

                                      -20-
<PAGE>

          (f)       to conduct any tests at the Premises which Landlord deems
reasonable or necessary including, without limitation, ground water tests and
core soil tests, provided, however, that Landlord shall not unreasonably disturb
Tenant's operations and occupancy.

     Section 16.2   Landlord shall not be liable in any manner for any
     ------------
inconvenience, disturbance, loss of business, nuisance, or other damage arising
out of Landlord's entry on the Premises as provided in this Article unless due
to Landlords or its agents' acts, omissions, negligence or willful misconduct.

     Section 16.3   Tenant shall not be entitled to an abatement or reduction of
     ------------
rent if Landlord exercises any rights reserved in this Article. Landlord shall
use reasonable efforts, in the exercise of its rights under this Article 16 by

of the Premises.

                                  ARTICLE 17

                           ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

     Section 17.1   Tenant shall not assign or sublet the Premises or any part
     ------------
thereof, or otherwise transfer or encumber the Premises or any interest of
Tenant therein or under this Lease, without the prior written consent of
Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or
delayed. Any provision in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord's
consent shall not be required for an assignment or sublease to any person or
entity who controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Tenant, or
which merges with Tenant, results from a consolidation of Tenant and another
entity or entities, or purchases substantially all of the assets of Tenant as a
going concern ("Tenant Affiliate"), provided that, with respect to an assignment
of this Lease to a Tenant Affiliate, before such assignment shall be effective,
(i) said Tenant Affiliate shall assume, in full together with the Tenant, the
obligations of Tenant thereafter accruing under this Lease, (ii) Landlord shall
be given not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of such assignment
and assumption, (iii) the use of the Premises by the Tenant Affiliate shall be
as set forth in Section 6.1, and (iv) Tenant remains fully obligated on this
Lease for the entire Lease Term. For purposes of this paragraph, the term
"control" means possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or
cause the direction of the management, affairs and policies of anyone, whether
through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. Tenant
shall not mortgage this Lease or execute and deliver to a trustee, a deed of
trust affecting this Lease. The sale of capital stock through any public
exchange or issuances for the sole purpose of raising financing shall not be
deemed an assignment, subletting or any other transfer of this Lease or
Premises. 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, and no subsequent subletting or assignment shall release any such
assignor or sublessor of its obligations or alter its primary liability to pay
rent and perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. In
lieu of consenting to a proposed sublease of the entire Premises for the
remainder of the Lease Term, Landlord may, at its sole election, terminate this
Lease. Such election to terminate shall be made by Landlord's giving written
notice thereof to Tenant. Any such termination shall be effective on the later
of the scheduled

                                      -21-
<PAGE>

commencement date of the proposed sublease or thirty (30) days after Landlord's
notice of termination.

     Section 17.2   No interest of Tenant in this Lease shall be assignable by
     ------------
operation of law. Each of the following acts shall be considered an involuntary
assignment.

          (a)       If Tenant is or becomes bankrupt or insolvent, makes and
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or institutes a proceeding under the
federal bankruptcy laws in which Tenant is the bankrupt; of, if Tenant is a
partnership or consists of more than one person or entity, if any partner of the
partnership or other person or entity is or becomes bankrupt of insolvent, or
makes and assignment for the benefit of creditors;

          (b)       If a writ of attachment or execution is levied on this
Lease;

          (c)       If, in any proceeding or action to which Tenant is a party,
a receiver is appointed with authority to take possession of the Premises.

          (d)       An involuntary assignment shall constitute a default by
Tenant and Landlord shall have the right to elect to terminate this Lease, in
which case this Lease shall not be treated as an asset of Tenant. If a writ of
attachment or execution is levied on this Lease, Tenant shall have ten (10) days
in which to cause the attachment or execution to be removed. If any involuntary
proceeding in bankruptcy is brought against Tenant, or if a receiver is
appointed, Tenant shall have thirty (30) days in which to have the involuntary
proceeding dismissed or the receiver removed.

     Section 17.3   Regardless of Landlord's consent, no subletting or
     ------------
assignment shall release Tenant of Tenant's obligations hereunder 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 or entity 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. In the event of default by
any assignees of Tenant or any successor of Tenant in the performance of any of
the terms hereof, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the
necessity of exhausting remedies against such assignee or successor. Landlord
may consent to subsequent assignments or subletting of this Lease or amendments
or modifications to this Lease with assignees of Tenant upon obtaining its or
their consent thereto and such action shall not relieve Tenant of liability
under this Lease. Tenant hereby agrees, and expressly waives any rights it may
have under Civil Code Section 711 or otherwise, to claim that the provisions of
this Article 17 or Landlord's exercise of its rights in accordance herewith
constitute an unreasonable restraint on alienation or a breach of any duty of
good faith and fair dealing, it being understood and agreed that the leasehold
estate of Tenant hereunder is expressly limited by the restrictive provisions of
this Article 17.

     Section 17.4   In the event Tenant shall assign or sublet the Premises or
     ------------
request the consent of Landlord to any assignment or subletting or if Tenant
shall request the consent of Landlord for any act the Tenant proposes to do,
then Tenant shall pay Landlord's reasonable

                                      -22-
<PAGE>

attorneys' fees (based upon actual time spent provided such time is reasonable
and the attorneys' regular hourly rate) and any other expense incurred in
connection therewith.

     Section 17.5   No assignment made with Landlord's consent or as hereinabove
     ------------
permitted, shall be effective until there shall have been delivered to Landlord
an executed counterpart of such assignment containing an agreement, executed by
the assignor and the proposed assignee, wherein and whereby such assignee
assumes due performance of the obligations on the assignor's part thereafter to
be performed under this Lease to the end of the term hereof.

     Section 17.6
     ------------

          (a)       If at any time during the Lease Term Tenant desires either
to sublet all or a portion of the Premises or to assign this Lease which
requires Landlord's consent, Tenant shall give notice to Landlord setting forth
the identity of the subtenant and the terms of the sublease, or the assignee and
the terms of the assignment, as the case may be, together with a copy of the
subtenant's or assignee's financial statements for the post three fiscal years
and a copy of the proposed sublease or assignment agreement, as well as any
other information reasonably requested by Landlord. Landlord shall approve or
disapprove the proposed subletting or assignment within fifteen (15) days from
receipt of all such items. In the event that Landlord fails to approve or
disapprove the proposed subletting or assignment within such fifteen (15) day
period, Landlord shall be deemed to have disapproved the subletting or
assignment in question.

          (b)       Any sublease permitted hereunder shall be subject and
subordinated to the right of Landlord hereunder and shall contain substantially
the following provision:

                    "Subtenant has been informed and understands that
                    Sublandlord is the lessee under an underlying lease of the
                    entire building of which the Subleased Premises form a part.
                    In the event of any proceeding to terminate such underlying
                    lease, or in the event of any action or proceeding for the
                    exercise of a power of sale under a deed of trust or for the
                    foreclosure of any mortgage to which this lease or such
                    underlying lease is subordinate, Subtenant acknowledges that
                    this lease shall be terminable by reason of any termination
                    of such underlying lease, unless the lessor thereunder or
                    the purchaser at a sale does not elect to terminate this
                    lease, in which event Sublessor shall attorn to the lessor
                    thereunder or to the purchaser at the sale on any such
                    foreclosure."

          (c)       Tenant shall furnish Landlord with fully executed or
photocopies of all subleases of space in the Premises and with such information
with respect thereto as Landlord may reasonably require.

     Section 17.7   Effective as of the date of the happening of an Event of
     ------------
Default or breach of this Lease (as described in Article 19 hereof) and after
any applicable notice and cure period, but subject to the rights of the holder
of any mortgage to which this Lease is subject and subordinate, Tenant hereby
assigns to Landlord all of its right, title and interest in and to all present
and future subleases and all rents due and to become due thereunder. After the
effective date of such assignment, Landlord shall apply any net amount collected
by it from subtenants to

                                      -23-
<PAGE>

the Annual Base Rent or Additional Rent due hereunder. In the event of the
failure of any subtenant to pay subrent to Landlord pursuant to the foregoing
assignment alter the happening of any such Event of Default or breach of this
Lease, any such rent thereafter collected by Tenant shall be deemed to
constitute a trust fund for the benefit of Landlord.

     Section 17.8   If Tenant requests Landlord to consent to a proposed
     ------------
assignment or subletting, Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand, whether or
not consent is ultimately given, Landlord's reasonable attorney's fees,
accountant's fees, and other reasonable expenses incurred in connection with
each such request, as additional rent. Following an assignment or subletting
consented to by Landlord, Tenant or the assignee or subtenant shall remit
directly to Landlord, payable as additional rent, fifty percent (50%) of all
sums (including the value of consideration other than money or its equivalent)
due to Tenant by said assignee or subtenant as consideration for said assignment
or sublease, whether payable before, after or throughout the term of such
assignment or sublease, to the extent said sums exceed the Annual Base Rent and
other amounts then due hereunder for the affected space, and any applicable
broker's commissions and reasonable attorneys' fees. Tenant (or assignee or
subtenant) shall pay such sums to Landlord as the same fall due. No sums due or
paid to Landlord pursuant to this Section 17.8 shall be credited against Annual
Base Rent or Additional Rent (including additional amounts pursuant to this
Section 17.8). The provisions of this Section 17.8 shall not, however, apply to
any assignment or subletting to a Tenant Affiliate.

                                 SUBORDINATION

     Section 18.1   This Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder are and shall
     ------------
be subject and subordinate to any mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument of
security (including any renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacement and
extension thereof) existing as of the date of this Lease or hereafter placed
upon the Premises, the Building, or any portion of any of the foregoing, by
Landlord; provided, however, as to any future encumbrancers, that the holder of
such instrument enters into an agreement with Tenant, its successors and
assigns, in which such holder agrees not to disturb the possession and other
rights of Tenant under this Lease for so long as Tenant continues to perform its
obligations hereunder and is not in default hereunder beyond any applicable
grace and cure period, and, in the event of acquisition of title by such holder
through foreclosure proceedings or otherwise, to accept Tenant as tenant of the
Premises under the terms and conditions of this Lease, and to perform the
Landlord's obligations hereunder. Tenant agrees to recognize and attorn to any
person or entity acquiring title to the Premises as Landlord by purchase,
foreclosure, or otherwise.

     Section 18.2   Tenant shall upon demand at any time or times execute,
     ------------
acknowledge and deliver to Landlord any and all reasonable instruments that may
be necessary, proper or desirable to subordinate this Lease and all rights
hereunder to the lien of any such mortgage or mortgages and each such renewal,
modification, consolidation, replacement and extension. Upon full execution of
this Lease, Landlord shall request from its current lender secured by the
Premises a non-disturbance agreement with respect to this Lease. No failure of
such lender to honor such request shall, however, be deemed a default by
Landlord under this Lease.

                                    DEFAULT

     Section 19.1   If any of the following events shall occur herein referred
     ------------
to individually as an "Event of Default" and collectively as "Events of
Default"), Tenant shall be deemed to be materially in default under this Lease:

          (a)       If Tenant shall fail to pay any Rent or Additional Rent when
and as the same becomes due and payable and such failure is not cured within
three (3) business days after the delivery of notice from Landlord specifying
such failure to pay; provided, however, that such notice shall be in lieu of and
not in addition to any notice required under Section 1161 of the California Code
of Civil Procedure and provided further, that if twice within any twelve month
period the Tenant fails to pay any Rent or other sum when and as the same
becomes due and payable, the cure provision set forth herein shall be reduced
from three (3) business days to three (3) calendar days;

          (b)       If Tenant shall fail to perform any of the other non-
monetary duties required to be performed by Tenant under this Lease (and unless
a different time period is specified in this Lease), and such failure shall
continue for more than thirty (30) days after discovery thereof by Tenant;
provided, however, that if such duty cannot reasonably be performed within such
thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall have such additional time (up to sixty (60)
days) as is reasonably necessary to perform such duty provided Tenant commences
in good faith to perform such duty and thereafter diligently proceeds therewith
to completion;

          (c)       If Tenant shall make a general assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or shall be unable to pay its debts generally as they become due file
a petition in bankruptcy, be adjudicated bankrupt, file a petition seeking any
reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution
or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation,
consent to, or acquiesce in, the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, trustee,
custodian or other similar official of itself or of the whole or any substantial
part of its properties or assets;

          (d)       If, without Tenant's consent or acquiescence, (i) a court of
competent jurisdiction shall enter an order, judgment or decree appointing a
receiver, liquidator, trustee, custodian or other similar official of Tenant, or
of the whole or any substantial part of the property or assets of Tenant and
such order, judgment or decree shall remain unvacated, or not set aside, or
unstayed, for thirty (30) days, or (ii) an involuntary case under said
Bankruptcy Code shall be commenced against Tenant or a petition shall be filed
against it seeking similar relief under any other present or future insolvency
act or other applicable law relating, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization
or relief of debtors and such case of petition shall remain undismissed for
thirty (30) days, or (iii) under the provisions of any other law for the relief
or aid of debtors, any court of competent jurisdiction shall assume custody or
control of Tenant or of the whole or any substantial part of its property or
assets and such custody or control shall remain unterminated or unstayed for
thirty (30) days;

                                      -25-
<PAGE>

          (e)       If, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, Tenant shall vacate
the Premises for such length of time and in such a manner as to endanger the
security or proper maintenance of the Premises or if Tenant shall abandon the
Premises;

          (f)       If this Lease or the estate of Tenant hereunder shall be
encumbered, mortgaged, transferred or shall pass to or devolve upon any other
person or party, except in a manner permitted under Article 17 hereof.

     Section 19.2   At any time after the occurrence of a default (Tenant hereby
     ------------
waiving its right under Section 1161, subsection 2 of the California Code of
Civil Procedure to have Landlord serve notice of default on Tenant within one
year after rent becomes due), Landlord may serve Tenant with a notice of
default, provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to require a notice as a
condition to Landlord's right to utilize a remedy where notice is not otherwise
required by law. Notices given under this Section 19.2 shall specify the alleged
default and shall demand that Tenant, (i) if the default is one described in
subsection 19.1(a) or 19.1(b) hereof, either quit the Premises or pay the rent
or other amount that is due within three (3) days; or (ii) if the default is one
described in subsection 19.1(d), 19.1(e), or 19.1(f) hereof, quit the Premises;
or (iii) of the default is one described in subsection 19.1(c) hereof, either
quit the Premises or cure the default within 30 days. No such notice shall be
deemed a forfeiture or a termination of this Lease unless Landlord so elects in
the notice. The notice requirements set forth in this Section 19.2 shall be in
lieu of and deemed to satisfy the notice requirements of the unlawful detainer
statutes of California, and Tenant waives any right it may have to any further
or other notice of its default as a condition to Landlord's right to its
remedies described hereunder including, without limitation, any right under
Civil Code Section 1011 or any other law to delay performance due to service by
mail.

     Section 19.3   Landlord shall have the remedies set forth in this Article
     ------------
19 if Tenant commits a default and, in the case of those defaults described in
subsections 19.1 (a) and 19.1 (b), fails to cure same within the time provided
in the notice of default (unless a default described in subsection 19.1(b) is
excused for up to 60 days as provided in subsection 19.1(b)). These remedies are
not exclusive; they are cumulative in addition to any remedies now or later
allowed by law, equity or agreement of the parties. Landlord shall have the
remedy described in California Civil Code section 1951.4 (lessor may continue
lease in effect after lessee's breach and abandonment and recover rent as it
becomes due, if lessee has right to sublet or assign, subject only to reasonable
limitations).

     Section 19.4
     ------------

          (a)       Upon the occurrence of a default by Tenant, Landlord may
continue this Lease in full force and effect, and this Lease shall continue in
effect as long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant's right to possession, and
Landlord shall have the right to collect rent and other sums when due. During
the period Tenant is in default, Landlord may enter the Premises and relet them,
or any part of them, to third parties for Tenant's account, provided that
Landlord uses its reasonable good faith efforts to maximize the rent for the
Premises, and, if Tenant has ceased to occupy the Premises, Landlord may alter
or install locks and other security devices at the Premises. Tenant shall be
liable immediately to Landlord for all costs Landlord incurs in reletting the
Premises, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, brokers' commissions,

                                      -26-
<PAGE>

expenses of remodeling the Premises required by the reletting, and like costs.
Reletting may be for a period equal to, shorter or longer than the remaining
term of this Lease.

          (b)       No act by Landlord allowed by this Section 19.4 shall
terminate this Lease unless Landlord notifies Tenant that Landlord elects to
terminate this Lease. After Tenant's default and for as long as Landlord does
not terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises, if Tenant obtains
Landlord's consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) Tenant shall have
the right to assign or sublet its interest in this Lease, but Tenant shall not
be released from liability. Any such proposed assignment or subletting shall be
subject to the provisions of Article 17 and Landlord's insistence on full
compliance herewith as a condition far its consent shall be deemed not
unreasonable.

          (c)       If Landlord elects to relet the Premises as provided in the
foregoing subsection 19.4(a), rent that Landlord receives from reletting shall
be applied to the payment of: (i) first, any indebtedness from Tenant to
Landlord other than rent due from Tenant; (ii) second, all costs incurred by
Landlord in reletting, including, without limitation, brokers' fees or
commissions for the reletting of the whole or any part of the Premises; the cost
of removing and storing the property of Tenant or any other occupant, and the
costs of repairing, altering, maintaining, remodeling or otherwise putting the
Premises into condition acceptable to a new Tenant or Tenants; and (iii) third,
rent due and unpaid under this Lease. After deducting the payments referred to
in this subsection 19.4(e), any sum remaining from the rent Landlord receives
from reletting shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent
and other amounts as rent and such amounts become due under this Lease. In no
event shall Tenant be entitled to any excess rent received by Landlord. If, on a
date rent or other amount is due under this Lease, the rent received as of such
date from the reletting is less than the rent or other amount due on that date,
or if any costs, including without limitation for maintenance, which Landlord
incurred in reletting remain after applying the rent received from the reletting
as provided in this subsection 19.4(c), Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon
demand, in addition to the remaining rent or other amount due, all such costs.

          (d)       Tenant shall pay to Landlord the rent due tinder this Lease
on the dates the rent is due, less the rent Landlord has received from any
reletting which exceeds all costs and expenses of Landlord incurred in
connection with Tenant's default and the reletting.

     Section 19.5   Upon the occurrence of a default by Tenant, Landlord may
     ------------
terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises or this Lease or both at
any time after a default by Tenant by giving notice to Tenant of Landlord's
election to do so and such termination shall be effective on the date set forth
in such notice (subject only to any cure period provided by Section 19.1). Acts
of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises, or the appointment of a receiver
on Landlord's initiative to protect Landlord's interest under this Lease shall
not constitute a termination of Tenant's right to possession. No act by Landlord
other than giving notice to Tenant shall terminate this Lease. On such
termination of this Lease, Landlord has the right to recover from Tenant:

          (a)       The worth, at the time of the award; of the unpaid rent that
had been earned at the time of termination of this Lease;

                                      -27-
<PAGE>

          (b)       The worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by which
the unpaid rent that would have been earned after the date of termination of
this Lease until the time of award exceeds the amount of the loss of rent that
Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided;

          (c)       The worth, at the time of the award, of the amount by which
the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of award exceeds the
amount of the loss of rent that Tenant proves could have been reasonably
avoided, and

          (d)       Any other amount, and court costs, necessary to compensate
Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant's default, or which in
the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including,
without limitation, brokers' fees or commissions and attorneys' fees incurred by
Landlord in connection with reletting the whole or any part of the Premises; the
costs of removing and storing the property of Tenant or of any other occupant;
and the costs of repairing, altering, remodeling, or otherwise putting the
Premises into condition acceptable to a new tenant or tenants.

          (e)       "The worth, at the time of the award," as used in
subsections 19.5(a) and 19.5(b) hereof, is to be computed by allowing interest
at 10% or such higher maximum rate then permitted by law. "The worth, at the
time of the award," as referred to in subsection 19.5(e) is to be computed by
discounting the amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San
Francisco at the time of the award, plus 1%.

     Section 19.6   Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights to recover
     ------------
or regain possession of the Premises or to reinstate or redeem this Lease to
which it may be entitled by or under any present or future law or decisions
including without limitation, Sections 1174 and 1179 of the California Code of
Civil Procedure. In addition, Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all right
to bring any action whatsoever against any tenant taking possession of the
Premises after Tenant has been dispossessed or evicted hereunder, or to make any
such tenant a party to any action brought by Tenant against Landlord.

     Section 19.7   Any personal property of Tenant or of any subtenant or
     ------------
occupant or other person which shall remain in, on or about the Premises after
the expiration or termination of the term and Tenant's removal from the Premises
shall be deemed to have been abandoned by Tenant and either may be retained by
Landlord as its property or may be disposed of in such manner as Landlord may
see fit; or, at Landlord's option, Landlord may require Tenant forthwith to
remove any or all of Tenant's property. If Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may
remove any such property and place such property in storage in a public
warehouse at the cost and risk of Tenant. If such personal property or any part
hereof shall be sold, Landlord may receive and retain the proceeds of such sale
and apply the same, at its option, against the expenses of the sale, the cost of
moving and storage, any arrears of rent or other stuns payable hereunder and any
damages to which Landlord may be entitled reader this Article 19 or pursuant to
law, in the manner provided in Civil Code Sections 1980 -1991, or in any other
lawful manner. Tenant waives all claims against Landlord with respect to any
disposition of property permitted hereunder and shall hold Landlord harmless as
to any loss, claim, damage or injury of any other person in connection with such
disposition.

     Section 19.8
     ------------

          (a)       Tenant hereby waives the requirement that any notice of
default served pursuant to this Article 19 or trader the California unlawful
detainer statutes shall be required to be served on any subtenant in possession
or actual occupation of the Premises.

          (b)       For purposes of Code of Civil Procedure Section 1011,
concerning services of notices or papers during litigation, "residence" of
Tenant shall mean and be the address for notices to Tenant under this Lease.

          (c)       If Landlord commences any proceeding for possession of the
Premises, Tenant may interpose in good faith any defenses Tenant may have to
Landlord's action to recover possession, but Tenant shall not interpose any
counterclaim or cross-complaint of whatever nature or description in any such
proceedings for so long as Tenant maintains a right to possession of the
Premises. Tenant's covenants to pay rent shall be independent of each and every
other covenant of this Lease and Tenant hereby expressly waives any right Tenant
may have to deduct Tenant's damages for Landlord's breach or default from rent
or right to set off such damages for purposes of determining whether any rent is
due in any unlawful detainer action brought on a basis of unpaid rent or other
amount due hereunder. This shall not, however, be construed as a waiver of the
right of Tenant to assert such claims in any separate action or actions brought
by Tenant.

          (d)       If Tenant fails to immediately commence and diligently and
continuously prosecute to completion repairs or any of its other obligations
hereunder required of Tenant after 10 days written notice by Landlord that it do
so (or if Tenant fails to act promptly after such notice in the case of an
emergency), then Landlord, in addition to all other remedies available hereunder
or by law and equity, and without waiving any alternative remedies, including
the right to declare Tenant in breach and default of this Lease, may make or
perform the same, and in that event, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, upon
demand, as additional rent, for all costs Landlord incurs in taking steps to
perform such obligations or repairs regardless of which party actually completes
the same, together with interest from the date Landlord incurs the cost until
paid at 10% per annum or if greater, the maximum rate permitted by law.

     Section 22.1   Tenant shall not cause any lien, mortgage or other

encumbrance upon the reversion or other estate of Landlord, or upon any interest
of Landlord in the Premises or in the buildings or improvements thereon; it

Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, cause the same to be canceled and
discharged of record or bonded within fifteen (15) days after notice of filing

elect or unless Landlord shall consent to the continuance of such subtenancy, be
deemed abandoned and become the property of Landlord without any payment or
offset therefor. If Landlord shall not so elect, Landlord may remove such
fixtures or property from the Premises and store them at Tenant's risk and
expense. Except for Landlord's gross negligence and willful misconduct, Tenant
shall repair and restore, and save Landlord harmless from, all damage to the
Premises caused by the removal therefrom, whether by Tenant or by Landlord, of
all such trade fixtures and personal property.

any such existing sublease as continuing in effect after such last day or sooner
termination.

     Section 24.4  The provisions of this Article 24 shall survive the
     ------------
expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.
