Lease.

4. TERM OF LEASE. The Premises are leased by Tenant from Port on a
month-to-month basis as specified in Section 1.2 hereof.

5. RENT. Tenant shall pay to Port, in the manner herein described, the following
Rent:

         5.1 BASE RENT. Tenant shall pay to Port Base Rent, as set forth in
Section 1.3 hereof, subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 5.2. Except
as otherwise provided in Section 1.3, Tenant shall make the first payment of
Base Rent on or before the Commencement Date and thereafter shall pay the Base
Rent, in advance, on or before the first day of each calendar month. If the
Commencement Date is other than the first day of the month, the Base Rent for

         5.2 BASE RENT ADJUSTMENT. Port shall have the right to adjust the Base
Rent to the current market rate, as reasonably determined by Port, at any time

Anniversary Date thereafter, and this Lease is in effect on the first

adjusted for the succeeding year in direct proportion to the percentage increase
in the Current Index over the Base Index. In no case shall the Base Rent, as

adjusted Base Rent shall be determined by multiplying the Base Rent set forth in
Section 1.3 by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Current Index and the
denominator of which is the Base Index, as follows:

<PAGE>
           Current Index
           Base Index        X     Base Rent      =      Adjusted Base Rent

         5.3 PERCENTAGE RENT. If applicable, as set forth in Section 1.6 hereof,
Tenant agrees to pay Percentage Rent to Port on the terms and conditions set
forth in the Addendum attached hereto.

         5.4 LATE CHARGES. Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to
Port of Rent will cause Port increased 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. Accordingly,
a Late Charge will be paid by Tenant for each month that such Rent, or any
portion thereof, remains due and unpaid, plus reasonable attorneys' fees
incurred by Port by reason of Tenant's failure to pay Rent when due under this
Lease. Late Charges shall be computed from the date on which such Rent first
became due. The parties agree that such Late Charges represent a fair and
reasonable estimate of the cost which Port will incur by reason of any late
payment by Tenant.

         5.5 ADDITIONAL RENT. Tenant shall pay or cause to be paid, and
discharge or cause to be discharged, when the same shall become due, any and all
amounts of Additional Rent, as defined in Section 2.1. If Tenant fails to pay or
discharge any amount, liability or obligation of Additional Rent Port shall have
all rights, powers and remedies provided herein or by Law in the case of
non-payment of the Base Rent.

         5.6 MANNER OF PAYMENT. All payments due from Tenant to Port under this
Lease shall be made to Port without any abatement, deduction, set-off, prior
notice or demand, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, in
lawful money of the United States of America at Port's address set forth in
Section 1.12 or to such other person or at such other place as Port may from
time to time designate by written notice to Tenant.

6. TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS.

         6.1 PAYMENT OF TAXES. During the Term of this Lease, Tenant agrees to
pay, when due, to the proper authority any and all real property and personal
taxes, general and special assessments, license fees, permit fees and all other
governmental charges of any kind or nature whatsoever, including without
limitation all penalties and interest thereon, levied or assessed on the
Premises, on Tenant's personal property, the leasehold or subleasehold estate or
Tenant's use of the Premises, whether in effect at the time this Lease is
entered into or which become effective thereafter, and all taxes levied or
assessed on the possession, use or occupancy, as distinguished from the
ownership, of the Premises. Tenant shall not permit any such taxes, assessments
or other charges to become a defaulted lien on the Premises or the Improvements
thereon; provided, however, that in the event any such tax, assessment or
similar charge is payable in installments, Tenant may make, or cause to be made,
payment in installments; and provided, further, that Tenant may, through such
proceeding as Tenant considers necessary or appropriate, contest the legal
validity or the amount of any tax, assessment or similar charge so long as such
assessment or charge does not become a defaulted lien. In the event of any such
dispute, Tenant shall indemnify and hold Port, City, and their Agents harmless
from and against all losses, damages, costs, or expenses, including attorneys'
fees, resulting therefrom.


                                       7
<PAGE>
         6.2 POSSESSORY INTEREST TAX. Tenant acknowledges and understands that a
possessory interest subject to property taxation may be created by this Lease
and that Tenant may be subject to the payment of property taxes levied on such
possessory interest. Tenant further acknowledges that Tenant is familiar with
San Francisco Administrative Code Sections 23.6-1 and 23.6-2, which require that
Port submit a report, which includes specified information relating to the
creation, renewal, sublease, or assignment of any such possessory interest, to
the County Assessor within 60 days after any such transaction. Tenant agrees to
provide to Port the information required by Section 23.6-2 within 30 days of a
request in writing by Port to do so.

7. SECURITY DEPOSIT.

         7.1 AMOUNT OF DEPOSIT. Tenant shall pay to Port on or before the
Commencement Date, in addition to the advance payment of the first month's Base
Rent, a security deposit, either in cash or by Security Instrument, in the sum
specified as the Initial Deposit in Section 1.7, as security for the faithful
performance by Tenant of all terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. If
the Base Rent is increased pursuant to any of the provisions of this Lease,
Tenant shall increase the amount of the security deposit to maintain the same
ratio of security deposit to Base Rent as existed at the Commencement Date. Any
increase in the security deposit shall be delivered to Port on the same date
that such increase in the Base Rent is first due. Tenant agrees that Port may
(but shall not be required to) apply the security deposit in whole or in part to
(a) pay any sum due to Port under this Lease; (b) compensate Port for any damage
to the Premises caused by Tenant; or (c) cure any default by Tenant. If Port
uses any portion of the security deposit to cure any default by Tenant
hereunder, Tenant shall immediately replenish the security deposit to the
original amount. Port's obligation with respect to the security deposit is
solely that of debtor and not trustee. Except as provided in Section 7.2, Tenant
shall not be entitled to any interest on such deposit. If Tenant is not in
default at the termination of this Lease, Port shall return the unused balance
of the security deposit to Tenant after Tenant vacates the Premises. The amount
of the security deposit shall in no way limit Tenant's obligations under this
Lease, and nothing contained in this Section 7 shall in any way diminish or be
construed as waiving any of Port's other remedies set forth in this Lease or
provided by Law or equity.

         7.2 SECURITY INSTRUMENT. In lieu of depositing the security deposit to
Port in cash as provided in Section 7.1 above, Tenant may deliver to Port a
Security Instrument; provided however, that said Security Instrument shall be
(a) in a form and issued by a surety company or financial institution acceptable
to Port in Port's sole discretion, (b) made payable only to Port and able to be
liquidated without any action required by Tenant, and (c) in a sum equal to the
amount specified in Section 7.1 plus ten percent or such additional amount (as
Port shall determine in its sole discretion) which will adequately cover penalty
charges and/or administrative fees imposed for early liquidation of the Security
Instrument. The form of Security Instrument may be changed from time to time by
mutual consent of Port and Tenant. If Tenant elects to deposit certificates of
deposit or other interest-bearing instruments as a security deposit, Tenant
shall be entitled to all interest payable on such certificates or instruments as
the same becomes due if Tenant has made arrangements for such interest payments
to be made directly to Tenant by the financial institution issuing such
certificates or instruments. Port shall have no responsibility to pay, nor to
make arrangements for payment, to Tenant of interest accruing on such
certificates or instruments. If Tenant deposits certificates of deposit or other
interest-bearing instruments as a security deposit, Tenant shall renew or
replace such instrument


                                       8
<PAGE>
no later than ten days prior to expiration thereof, and, if Tenant fails to do
so, Port shall be entitled to cash such instrument and to hold the funds so
obtained as the security deposit required pursuant to this Section 7.

         If Tenant elects to use a bond or letter of credit as a security
deposit, Tenant shall keep the same, at its expense, in full force and effect
throughout the Term and until the sixtieth (60th) day after the Termination Date
or other termination hereof. Such bond or letter of credit shall provide for
sixty (60) days' prior written notice to Port by the issuing institution in the
event of non-extension, cancellation or material change thereof. In such event,
Tenant shall replace the bond or letter of credit at least ten days prior to
expiration thereof, and, if Tenant fails to do so, Port shall be entitled to
present its written demand for payment of the entire face amount of said bond or
letter of credit and to hold the funds so obtained as the security deposit
required pursuant to this Section 7.

8. USE OF THE PREMISES.

         8.1 PERMITTED USE. The Premises shall be used and occupied only for the
Permitted Use specified in Section 1.8 hereof and for no other purpose.

         8.2 PROHIBITED ACTIVITIES. Tenant agrees that the following activities,
by way of example only and without limitation, are inconsistent with this Lease
and are strictly prohibited: (a) any activity, or the maintaining of any object,
which is not within the Permitted Use; (b) any activity, or the maintaining of
any object, which will in any way increase the existing rate of, affect or cause
a cancellation of, any fire or other insurance policy covering the Premises, any
part thereof or any of its contents; (c) any activity or object which will
overload or cause damage to the Premises; (d) any activity which constitutes
waste or nuisance to owners or occupants of adjacent properties, including, but
not limited to, the preparation, manufacture or mixing of anything that might
emit any objectionable odors, noises or lights onto adjacent properties, or the
use of loudspeakers or sound or light apparatus which can be heard or seen
outside the Premises; (e) any activity which will in any way injure, obstruct or
interfere with the rights of other tenants or of owners or occupants of adjacent
properties, including rights of ingress and egress; (f) use of the Premises for
sleeping or personal living quarters; (g) any auction, distress, fire,
bankruptcy or going out-of-business sale on the Premises without the prior
written consent of Port.

         8.3 PREMISES MUST BE USED. Tenant shall use the Premises continuously
for the Permitted Use specified in Section 1.8 and shall not allow the Premises
to remain unoccupied or unused without the prior written consent of Port, which
consent may be withheld in Port's sole discretion.

9. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS. Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and
expense, promptly shall comply with all Laws relating to or affecting the
condition, use or occupancy of the Premises in effect either at the time of
execution of this Lease or which may hereafter be in effect at any time during
the Term, whether or not the same are now contemplated by the parties. Tenant
further understands and agrees that it is Tenant's obligation, at Tenant's sole
cost and expense, to cause the Premises and Tenant's activities and operations
conducted thereon, to be in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act,
42 USCS sections 12101, et seq.



                                       9
<PAGE>
         Tenant understands and agrees that Port is entering into this Lease in
its capacity as a landowner with a proprietary interest in the Premises and not
as a regulatory agency of the City with certain police powers. Port's legal
status as an agency of City shall in no way limit the obligation of Tenant to
obtain any required approvals from City departments, boards or commissions which
have jurisdiction over the Premises, including Port. By entering into this

the Premises to be used and occupied in accordance with all Laws.

10. REGULATORY APPROVALS. Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with all
rules and regulations which may be adopted BY Port from time to time, and with
all modifications thereof and additions thereto, provided Port has given prior
written notice thereof to Tenant. All such rules and regulations shall be deemed
to be additional terms and conditions of this Lease. Port shall not be
responsible to Tenant for the nonperformance by any other tenant or person of
any such rules and regulations. Tenant understands that Tenant's operations on
the Premises, changes in use, or Improvements or Alterations to the Premises may
require a Regulatory Approval. Tenant shall be solely responsible for obtaining
any such Regulatory Approval, and Tenant shall not seek any Regulatory Approval
without first obtaining the approval of Port. All costs associated with applying
for and obtaining any necessary Regulatory Approval shall be borne by Tenant.
Tenant shall be solely responsible for complying with any and all conditions
imposed by regulatory agencies as part of a Regulatory Approval. Any fines or
penalties imposed as a result of the failure of Tenant to comply with the terms
and conditions of any Regulatory Approval shall be paid and discharged by
Tenant, and Port shall have no liability, monetary or otherwise, for said fines
and penalties. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, Tenant agrees to
indemnify and hold City, Port and their Agents harmless from and against any
loss, expense, cost, damage, attorneys' fees, penalties, claims or liabilities
which City or Port may incur as a result of Tenant's failure to obtain or comply

in Section 1.9, Tenant shall at all times during the Term of this Lease, and at
its sole cost and expense, maintain and repair in good and working order,

Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.9, Port shall not be obligated to make
any repairs, replacement or renewals of any kind, nature or description
whatsoever to the Premises nor to any Improvements or Alterations now or
hereafter located thereon.

(excepting ordinary wear and tear) to the Premises, Port may repair the same at
Tenant's expense and Tenant shall immediately reimburse Port therefor.

to the Premises or any portion thereof which is Tenant's obligation to maintain
results in the same not meeting the standard of maintenance required by Port for
such uses as Tenant is making of the Premises, then Tenant shall have the
independent responsibility for, and shall promptly undertake, maintenance or
repair of the Premises and complete the same with due diligence.

<PAGE>
Without limiting Section 24 hereof, Port may make periodic inspections of the
Premises and may advise Tenant when maintenance or repair of the Premises is
required, but such right of inspection shall not relieve Tenant of its
independent responsibility to maintain such Premises and Improvements in a
condition as good as, or better than, their condition at the Commencement Date,
excepting ordinary wear and tear. If, after reasonable notice in writing from
Port, Tenant fails to undertake such maintenance or repairs and complete the
same with due diligence, then in addition to any other remedy available to Port,
Port may make such maintenance or repairs at Tenant's expense and Tenant shall
immediately upon invoice reimburse Port therefor.

or Port to repair or replace the Premises or the Improvements thereon as a
result of damage caused by acts of war, earthquake, tidal wave or other acts of
God, except that this provision shall not affect any obligation to make repairs
to the Premises pursuant to Section 18 in the event of any damage or destruction
of the Premises.

12. UTILITIES AND SERVICES.

connection and installation of the utilities specified in Section 1.10 from the
location points specified therein.

         Tenant shall be obligated, at its sole cost and expense, to repair and
maintain in good operating condition all utilities located within the Premises
and all utilities installed by Tenant (whether within or outside the Premises).
If Tenant requests Port to perform such maintenance or repair, whether emergency
or routine, Port shall charge Tenant for the cost of the work performed at the
then prevailing standard rates, and Tenant agrees to pay said charges to Port
promptly upon billing. Tenant shall pay for repair of utilities located outside
the Premises (regardless of who installed the same) which are damaged by or
adversely affected by Tenant's use of such utility and shall be responsible for
all damages, liabilities and claims arising therefrom.

         The parties agree that any and all utility improvements shall become
part of the realty and are not trade fixtures. Port makes no representation or
warranty that utility services, including telecommunications services, will not
be interrupted. Port shall not be liable in damages or otherwise for any failure
or interruption of any utility services, including telecommunications services,
furnished to the Premises. No such failure or interruption shall constitute a
basis for constructive eviction, nor entitle Tenant to terminate this Lease or
abate the Rent.

         12.2 SERVICES. Tenant shall make arrangements and shall pay all charges
for all services to be furnished on, in or to the Premises or to be used by
Tenant, including, without limitation, garbage and trash collection, janitorial

with Section 13.5 hereof, Tenant shall be obligated at its own expense to remove

said Notice of Removal to Tenant within a reasonable time after the loss or
destruction. If Tenant fails to complete such demolition or removal on or before

the right but not the obligation to cause the same to be released by such means
as it shall deem proper, including without limitation, payment of the claim
giving rise to such lien. All sums paid by Port for such purpose and all
reasonable expenses incurred by Port in connection therewith shall be payable to
Port by Tenant within thirty (30) days following written demand by Port.

any intentionally harmful acts committed solely by Port or City.

         20.3 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS INDEMNIFICATION. Tenant shall indemnify,
defend and hold Port, City and their Agents harmless from any and all claims,

         21.1 ASSIGNMENT PROHIBITED. Tenant shall not make or permit any
Assignment of this Lease. An Assignment of this Lease shall constitute an
incurable breach by Tenant and shall be voidable at the option of Port. In the
event Tenant requests an Assignment of this Lease, such request, at Port's

indirect conveyance, alienation, sublease or other transfer of any portion of
Tenant's interest in this Lease or in the

regarding all payments to be made or other consideration to be given in
connection with the Subletting, and (5) any other information, documentation or

of Request to Sublet shall not be deemed to have been served or given until such
time as Tenant has provided Port with all information set forth hereinabove.
Tenant shall immediately notify Port of any modifications to the proposed terms
of the Subletting.

         21.4 PORT'S CONSENT/REFUSAL TO CONSENT.

                  (a) Upon receiving a Notice of Request to Sublet, Port may
consent to the proposed Subletting, subject to any conditions upon such
Subletting, which conditions may include, without limitation: (i) that in the
event this Lease is terminated prior to the expiration of any Subletting, at the
election of Port, such termination shall operate to terminate all existing
subleases entered into by Tenant without further notice from Port; and (ii) that
the sublease or other transfer agreement contain: (A) an indemnification clause
and waiver of claims provisions in favor of Port and City identical to those
contained in Section 20 of this Lease; (B) a clause requiring the proposed
sublessee to name City, Port and their Agents as additional insureds under all
liability and other insurance policies; and (C) a clause requiring the proposed
sublessee to acknowledge Port's right to demand increased insurance coverage to
normal amounts consistent with the proposed sublessee's business activities on
the Premises.

                  (b) One hundred percent (100%) of all sums paid or payable to
Tenant by the sublessee in excess of the then-existing Rent payable by Tenant
attributable to the portion of the Premises being Sublet, including without
limitation, any rent and all other sums or other consideration received by
Tenant as a result of the Subletting in whatever form (less expenses for
verifiable, reasonable and customary brokerage commissions, Tenant Improvements,
lease concessions, value of Tenant's trade fixtures conveyed and other expenses
actually paid or obligations incurred by Tenant in connection with the
Subletting and/or expenses of operating the Premises paid or incurred by Tenant)
shall be paid by Tenant to Port immediately upon receipt thereof by Tenant as
Additional Rent hereunder.

                  (c) Tenant acknowledges and agrees that each of the rights of
Port set forth in this Section 21 is a reasonable limitation on Tenant's right
to assign or sublet for purposes of California Civil Code Section 1951.4.


                                       19
<PAGE>
                  (d) No consent to any proposed Subletting, whether conditional
or unconditional, shall be deemed to be a consent to any other or further
Subletting of the Premises, or to any other transfer of this Lease on the same
or other conditions. No interest of Tenant in this Lease shall be assignable by
operation of Law.

         21.5 FEES FOR REVIEW. Tenant shall reimburse Port for all costs,
including without limitation attorney's fees, which are incurred by Port in
connection with the review, investigation, processing, documentation and/or
approval of any proposed Subletting.

         21.6 NO RELEASE OF TENANT. The acceptance by Port of Rent or other
payment from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Port of any
provision of this Lease nor to be a consent to any subsequent Subletting or to
be a release of Tenant from any obligation under this Lease. No Subletting of
the Premises shall in any way diminish, impair or release any of the liabilities
and obligations of Tenant, any guarantor or any other person liable for all or
any portion of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. The joint and several
liability of Tenant and Tenant's successors or transferees and the obligations
of Tenant under this Lease shall not be discharged, released or impaired by any
agreement by Port modifying any provision of this Lease or extending time for
performance hereunder or by any waiver or failure of Port to enforce any
obligations hereunder.

         21.7 ASSIGNMENT OF SUBLEASE RENTS. Tenant immediately and irrevocably
assigns to Port, as security for Tenant's obligations under this Lease, all of
Tenant's interest in any rent from any Subletting of all or any part of the
Premises; except that, until the occurrence of an act of default by Tenant,
Tenant shall have the right to receive, collect and enjoy such rents.

22. DEFAULT BY TENANT.

         22.1 EVENT OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of any one or more of the
following events shall constitute a default by Tenant:

                  (a) Failure by Tenant to pay when due any Rent;

                  (b) Abandonment or vacation of the Premises by Tenant;

                  (c) Failure to perform any other provision of this Lease if
the failure to perform is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice has
been given by Port to Tenant. If the default cannot reasonably be cured within
30 days, Tenant shall not be in default of this Lease if Tenant commences to
cure the default within such thirty (30) day period and diligently and in good
faith continues to cure the default;

                  (d) Either (i) the failure of Tenant to pay its debts as they
become due, the written admission of Tenant of its inability to pay its debts,
or a general assignment by Tenant for the benefit of creditors; or (ii) the
filing by or against Tenant of any action seeking reorganization, arrangement,
liquidation, or other relief under any Law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency,
or reorganization (unless such action is involuntary and is discharged within
sixty (60) days) or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver or liquidator
of Tenant's or any substantial part of Tenant's assets; or (iii) the attachment,
execution or other judicial seizure of


                                       20
<PAGE>
substantially all of Tenant's interest in this Lease, unless such seizure is
discharged within ten (10) days.

         Notices given under this section shall demand that Tenant perform the
provisions of this Lease or pay the Rent that is in arrears, as the case may be,
within the applicable period of time, or quit the Premises. No such notice shall
be deemed a forfeiture or a termination of this Lease unless Port so elects in
the notice.

         22.2 PORT'S REMEDIES. Upon default by Tenant, Port shall, without
further notice or demand of any kind to Tenant or to any other person, have the
following remedies:

                  (a) Termination of Tenant's Right to Possession. Port may
terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises at any time. No act by
Port other than giving notice of termination to Tenant shall terminate this
Lease. Acts of maintenance, efforts to relet the Premises, or the appointment of
a receiver on Port's initiative to protect Port's interest under this Lease
shall not constitute a termination of Tenant's right to possession.

                  (b) Port's Right to Cure Tenant's Default. Port, at any time
after Tenant commits a default, may, at Port's sole option, cure the default at
Tenant's cost. If Port at any time, by reason of Tenant's default, undertakes
any act to cure or attempt to cure such default that requires the payment of any
sums, or otherwise incurs any costs, damages, or liabilities, (including without
limitation, attorneys' fees), all such sums, costs, damages or liabilities paid
by Port shall be due immediately from Tenant to Port at the time the sum is
paid, and if paid by Tenant at a later date shall bear interest at the lesser of
ten percent (10%) or the maximum non-usurious rate Port is permitted by Law to
charge from the date such sum is paid by Port until Port is reimbursed by
Tenant.

         The remedies set forth in this Section 22.2 are not exclusive; they are
cumulative and in addition to any and all their rights or remedies of Port now
or later allowed by Laws. Tenant's obligations hereunder shall survive any
termination of this Lease.

         22.3 DAMAGES. If Port elects to terminate this Lease under Section
22.2, Port has the rights and remedies provided by California Civil Code Section
1951.2, including the right to recover from Tenant the following:

                  (a) The worth at the time of award of the unpaid Rent which
had been earned at the date of termination of this Lease;

                  (b) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the
unpaid Rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of
award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been
reasonably avoided; and

                  (c) Any other amounts necessary to compensate Port for the
detriment proximately caused by Tenant's default, or which, in the ordinary
course of events, would likely result, including, but not limited to, attorneys'
fees and court costs, the costs of carrying the Premises such as repairs,
maintenance, taxes and insurance premiums, utilities, security precautions and
the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Port in (i) retaking possession of
the Premises; (ii) cleaning and making repairs and alterations necessary to
return the Premises to


                                       21
<PAGE>
good condition and preparing the Premises for reletting; (iii) removing,
transporting and storing any of Tenant's property left at the Premises (although
Port shall have no obligation so to do); and (iv) reletting the Premises,
including, without limitation, brokerage commissions, advertising costs and
attorneys' fees. Efforts by Port to mitigate the damages caused by Tenant's
breach of the Lease do not waive Port's rights to recover damages upon
termination.

         The "worth at the time of award" of the amounts referred to in Sections
22.3(a) and (b) shall be computed by allowing interest at an annual rate equal
to the lesser of ten percent or the maximum non-usurious rate Port is permitted
by Law to charge.

         22.4 NO ACCORD AND SATISFACTION. No payment by Tenant or receipt by
Port of an amount less than the Rent due under this Lease shall be deemed to be
other than "on account" of the earliest Rent due; nor shall any endorsement or
statement on any check or payment, or letter accompanying such check or payment,
be deemed an accord and satisfaction. Port may accept any such partial payment
or tender without prejudice to its right to recover the balance of any amount
due and to pursue any other remedy herein provided at Law or in equity.

23. LITIGATION EXPENSES; ATTORNEYS' FEES.

         23.1 LITIGATION EXPENSES. If either party hereto brings an action or
proceeding (including any cross-complaint or counterclaim) against the other
party by reason of a default, or otherwise arising out of this Lease, the
prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be entitled to recover from
the other party its costs and expenses of suit, including but not limited to
reasonable attorneys' fees, which shall be payable whether or not such action is
prosecuted to judgment. "Prevailing party" within the meaning of this Section 23
shall include, without limitation, a party who substantially obtains or defeats,
as the case may be, the relief sought in the action, whether by compromise,
settlement, judgment or the abandonment by the other party of its claim or
defense.

         23.2 APPEALS. Attorneys' fees under this Section 23 shall include
attorneys' fees and all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred in
connection with any appeal.

         23.3 CITY ATTORNEY. For purposes of this Lease, reasonable fees of
attorneys of the City's Office of the City Attorney shall be based on the fees
regularly charged by private attorneys with an equivalent number of years of
professional experience (calculated by reference to earliest year of admission
to the Bar of any State) who practice in San Francisco in law firms with
approximately the same number of attorneys as employed by the Office of the City
Attorney.

24. PORT'S ENTRY ON PREMISES.

         24.1 ENTRY FOR INSPECTION. Port and its authorized Agents shall have
the right to enter the Premises without notice at any time during normal
business hours of generally recognized business days, provided that Tenant or
Tenant's Agents are present on the Premises, for the purpose of inspecting the
Premises to determine whether the Premises are in good condition and whether
Tenant is complying with its obligations under this Lease.


                                       22
<PAGE>
         24.2 GENERAL ENTRY. In addition to its rights pursuant to Section 24.1,
Port and its authorized Agents shall have the right to enter the Premises at all
reasonable times and upon reasonable notice for any of the following purposes:

                  (a) To perform any necessary maintenance, repairs or
restoration to the Premises, or to perform any services which Port has the right
or obligation to perform;

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

                  (c) To post "For Sale" or "For Lease" signs at any time during
the Term;

                  (d) To show the Premises to prospective real estate brokers,
agents, buyers, or persons interested in an exchange, at any time during the
Term; to show the Premises to prospective tenants at any time during the Term;

                  (e) If any excavation or other construction is undertaken or
is about to be undertaken on any property or street adjacent to the Premises, to
shore the foundations, footings or walls of the Premises and to erect
scaffolding and protective barricades around and about the Premises as
reasonably necessary in connection with such activities (but not so as to
prevent or unreasonably restrict entry to the Premises), and to do any other act
or thing necessary for the safety or preservation of the Premises during such
excavation or other construction.

         24.3 EMERGENCY ENTRY. Port may enter the Premises at any time, without
notice, in the event of an emergency. Port shall have the right to use any and
all means which Port may deem proper in such an emergency in order to obtain
entry to the Premises. Entry to the Premises by any of said means, or otherwise,
shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or
unlawful entry into, or a detainer of the Premises, or an eviction of Tenant
from the Premises or any portion of them.

         24.4 NO LIABILITY. Port shall not be liable in any manner, and Tenant
hereby waives any claim for damages, for any inconvenience, disturbance, loss of
business, nuisance, or other damage, including without limitation any abatement
or reduction in Rent, arising out of Port's entry onto the Premises as provided
in this Section 24, except damage resulting solely from the active negligence or
willful misconduct of Port or its authorized representatives.

         24.5 NON-DISTURBANCE. Port shall use its best efforts to conduct its
activities on the Premises as allowed in this Section 24 in a manner which, to
the extent reasonably practicable, will cause the least possible inconvenience,
annoyance or disturbance to Tenant.

25. SURRENDER AND QUITCLAIM.

         25.1 SURRENDER. Upon termination of this Lease Tenant shall surrender
to Port the Premises and all Improvements thereon in good condition (except for
ordinary wear and tear occurring after the last necessary maintenance made by
Tenant and except for destruction or condemnation as described in Sections 18
and 19 hereof), except for Improvements and Alterations which Tenant has the
right to remove or is obligated to remove under the provisions of Section 13.
Tenant shall repair any damage to the Premises for which Tenant is liable under

                                       23
<PAGE>
this Lease. Tenant shall remove all of its personal property and shall perform
all restoration made necessary by the removal of any Improvements, Alterations
or Tenant's personal property within the time periods stated in this Lease.

         Port may elect to retain or dispose of any Improvements or Tenant's
personal property which Tenant does not remove from the Premises as allowed or
required by this Lease by giving at least ten (10) days' prior written notice of
such election to Tenant. Except with respect to (i) Tenant's personal property
as to which Port has waived in writing any right it may have or may have
acquired, (ii) Tenant's property which is covered by any filed financing
statement, and (iii) any Hazardous Material left in or on the Premises, title to
any Improvements, Alterations or to Tenant's personal property which Port elects
to retain or dispose of upon expiration of the ten-day period shall vest in
Port. Tenant waives all claims against Port for any damage to Tenant resulting
from Port's retention or disposition of any Improvements, Alterations or
Tenant's personal property. Tenant shall be liable to Port for all costs
incurred by Port for storing, removing or disposing of any Improvements,
Alterations or Tenant's personal property.

         If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises as required by this Section
25.1, Tenant shall hold Port harmless from all damages resulting from Tenant's
failure to surrender the Premises, including, but not limited to, claims made by
a succeeding tenant resulting from Tenant's failure to surrender the Premises.
No act or conduct of Port, including, but not limited to, the acceptance of the
keys to the Premises, shall constitute an acceptance of the surrender of the
Premises by Tenant before the expiration of the Term. Only a notice from Port to
Tenant shall constitute acceptance of the surrender of the Premises and
accomplish a termination of this Lease.

         25.2 QUITCLAIM. Upon termination of this Lease, the Premises shall
automatically, and without further act or conveyance on the part of Tenant or
Port, become the property of Port, free and clear of all liens and Leasehold
Mortgages and without payment therefor by Port and shall be surrendered to Port
upon such date. Upon or at any time after the date of termination of this Lease,
if requested by Port, Tenant shall promptly deliver to Port, without charge, a
quitclaim deed to the Premises and any other instrument reasonably requested by
Port to evidence or otherwise effect the termination of Tenant's leasehold
estate hereunder and to effect such transfer or vesting of title to the Premises
or any Improvements or Alterations that Port agrees are to remain part of the
Premises pursuant to the provisions of Section 13.3 above.

26. MINERAL RESERVATION. The State of California, pursuant to Section 2 of
Chapter 1333 of the Statutes of 1968, as amended, has reserved all subsurface
mineral deposits, including oil and gas deposits, on or underlying the Premises.
In accordance with the provisions of said Statutes, Port and Tenant shall and
hereby do grant to the State of California the right to explore, drill for and
extract said subsurface minerals, including oil and gas deposits, from the
Mineral Reservation area located by the California Grid System as more
particularly described in Section 1.10 hereof.

27. CITY REQUIREMENTS.

         27.1 NON-DISCRIMINATION. Tenant shall not, in the operation and use of
the Premises, discriminate against any person or group of persons solely because
of race, color, creed, national origin, ancestry, age, sex, sexual orientation,
disability or acquired immune deficiency syndrome


                                       24
<PAGE>
(AIDS) or AIDS related condition (ARC). The provisions of Chapters 12B and 12C
of the San Francisco Administrative Code, relating to nondiscrimination by
parties contracting with the City and County of San Francisco, are incorporated
herein by this reference and made a part hereof as though fully set forth
herein. Tenant agrees to comply with all provisions of such Chapters 12B and 12C
that apply to tenants of the City and County of San Francisco.

         27.2 MACBRIDE PRINCIPLES-NORTHERN IRELAND. City urges companies doing
business in Northern Ireland to move towards resolving employment inequities and
encourages such companies to abide by the MacBride Principles. City urges San
Francisco companies to do business with corporations that abide by the MacBride
Principles.

         27.3 TROPICAL HARDWOOD BAN. City urges Tenant not to import, purchase,
obtain, or use for any purpose, any tropical hardwood or tropical hardwood
product.

28. NOTICES. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease or by Law, any
and all notices or communications required or permitted by this Lease or by Law
to be served on, given to or delivered to either party by the other party shall
be in writing and shall be given by one of the following methods: (a) delivering
the notice in person, (b) sending the notice by United States Mail, first class,
postage prepaid, or (c) sending the notice by overnight courier or mail, with
postage prepaid, to the mailing address set forth in Section 1.12. Subject to
the restrictions set forth below and only for the convenience of the parties,
copies of notices also may be given by telefacsimile to the telephone number set
forth in Section 1.12. Either party may change such party's mailing address or
telefacsimile number at any time by giving written notice of such change to the
other party in the manner provided above at least ten (10) days prior to the
effective date of the change. All notices under this Lease shall be deemed to be
duly served, given, delivered, made or communicated on the date personal
delivery actually occurs or, if mailed, on the date of deposit in the United
States Mail. A person or party may not give official or binding notice by
telefacsimile. Service of process at Tenant's address set forth in Section 1.12
or other address, notice of which is given in accordance with the terms of this
Section 28, shall be valid and binding upon such party.

29. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence as to each and every
provision of this Lease.

30. SIGNS. Tenant shall not have the right to place, construct or maintain any
sign, advertisement, awning, banner or other exterior decoration on the Premises
without Port's prior written consent. Any sign that Tenant is permitted to
place, construct or maintain on the Premises shall comply with all Laws relating
thereto, including but not limited to Port's Tenant Sign Guidelines and building
permit requirements, and Tenant shall obtain all Regulatory Approvals required
by such Laws. Port makes no representation with respect to Tenant's ability to
obtain such Regulatory Approval. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall
remove all signs placed by it on the Premises at the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease.

31. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

         31.1 CALIFORNIA LAW. This Lease shall be construed and interpreted in
accordance with the Laws of the State of California and City's Charter.


                                       25
<PAGE>
         31.2 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Lease contains all of the representations
and the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter
of this agreement. Any prior correspondence, memoranda, agreements, warranties,
or written or oral representations relating to such subject matter are
superseded in total by this Lease. No prior drafts of this Lease or changes from
those drafts to the executed version of this Lease shall be introduced as
evidence in any litigation or other dispute resolution proceeding by any party
or other person, and no court or other body should consider those drafts in
interpreting this Lease.

         31.3 AMENDMENTS. No amendment of this Lease or any part thereof shall
be valid unless it is in writing and signed by all of the parties hereto.

         31.4 SEVERABILITY. Except as is otherwise specifically provided for in
this Lease, invalidation of any provision of this Lease, or of its application
to any person, by judgment or court order, shall not affect any other provision
of this Lease or its application to any other person or circumstance, and the
remaining portions of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, unless
enforcement of this Lease as invalidated would be unreasonable or grossly
inequitable under all of the circumstances or would frustrate the purposes of
this Lease.

         31.5 NO PARTY DRAFTER; CAPTIONS. The provisions of this Lease shall be
construed as a whole according to their common meaning and not strictly for or
against any party in order to achieve the objectives and purposes of the
parties. Any caption preceding the text of any section, paragraph or subsection
or in the table of contents is included only for convenience of reference and
shall be disregarded in the construction and interpretation of this Lease.

         31.6 SINGULAR, PLURAL, GENDER. Whenever required by the context, the
singular shall include the plural and vice versa, and the masculine gender shall
include the feminine or neuter genders, and vice versa.

         31.7 SUCCESSORS. The terms, covenants, agreements and conditions set
forth in this Lease shall bind and inure to the benefit of Port and Tenant and,
except as otherwise provided herein, their personal representatives and
successors and assigns.

         31.8 REAL ESTATE BROKER'S FEES. Each party shall be responsible for the
payment of all fees and commissions to any real estate broker with whom such
party has contracted. Each party shall hold the other party harmless from any
and all damage resulting from any claim which may be asserted against the other
party by any broker, finder or other person with whom the other party has or
purportedly has dealt with respect to this Lease.

         31.9 COUNTERPARTS. For convenience, the signatures of the parties to
this Lease may be executed and acknowledged on separate pages which, when
attached to this Lease, shall constitute this as one complete Lease. This Lease
may be executed in any number of counterparts each of which shall be deemed to
be an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same Lease.

         31.10 AUTHORITY. If Tenant signs as a corporation or a partnership,
each of the persons executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant does hereby
covenant and warrant that Tenant is a duly authorized and existing entity, that
Tenant has and is qualified to do business in California, that Tenant has full
right and authority to enter into this Lease, and that each and all of the
persons


                                       26
<PAGE>
signing on behalf of Tenant are authorized to do so. Upon Port's request, Tenant
shall provide Port with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Port confirming the
foregoing representations and warranties.

         31.11 WAIVER. No failure by Port to insist upon the strict performance
of any obligation of Tenant under this Lease or to exercise any right, power or
remedy arising out of a breach thereof, irrespective of the length of time for
which such failure continues, and no acceptance of full or partial Rent during
the continuance of any such breach shall constitute a waiver of such breach or
of Port's rights to demand strict compliance with such term, covenant or
condition. Port's consent to or approval of any act by Tenant requiring Port's
consent or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary Port's
consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Tenant. Any waiver by Port of
any default must be in writing and shall not be a waiver of any other default
concerning the same or any other provision of this Lease.
