1.    PREMISES AND TERMS.

      1.1.    Lease and Premises. Landlord leases to Tenant, and Tenant hires from Landlord, certain premises (the "Premises") described in, and consisting of the stipulated rentable area shown in, Item 3 of the Basic Lease Provisions within a building (the "Building") described in Item 4 of the Basic Lease Provisions. The location of the Building and Premises are shown on the site plan attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein. The "Project" shall refer to the land shown on the site plan (the "Land") together with such additions and deletions to the Land as Landlord may from time to time designate, plus all buildings and improvements located thereon. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that the rentable square footage of the Premises set forth in Item 3 of the Basic Lease Provisions shall be conclusive and binding on the parties.

      1.2.    Term. The term of this Lease shall commence on the "Commencement Date" specified in or established pursuant to Item 5 of the Basic Lease Provisions, and except as otherwise provided herein, shall continue in full force and effect through the number of months provided in Item 6 of the Basic Lease Provisions (the "Term"), provided, however, that if the Commencement Date is a date other than the first day of a calendar month, the Term shall consist of the remainder of the calendar month including and following the Commencement Date, plus said number of full calendar months.

      1.3.    Renewal. Tenant shall have the option to extend the Term for one (1) additional period of five (5) years (the "Renewal Option"), under and subject to the following terms and conditions:

              1.3.1    The renewal term (the "Renewal Term") shall be for a five (5) year period commencing on the day immediately following the expiration date of the initial Term and expiring at midnight on the day immediately preceding the fifth (5^th) anniversary thereof.

              1.3.2    Tenant must exercise each Renewal Option, if at all, by written notice to Landlord delivered no earlier than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the initial Term and no later than nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the initial Term, time being of the essence.

              1.3.3    As a condition to Tenant's exercise of the Renewal Option, at the time Tenant delivers its notice of election to exercise the Renewal Option to Landlord, this Lease shall be in full force and effect, Tenant shall not have assigned this Lease or sublet the Premises, and Tenant shall not be in default in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder.

              1.3.4    The Renewal Term shall be on the same terms and conditions contained in this Lease, except that (i) the Base Rent shall be the "Fair Market Rental Rate" (as hereinafter defined) for the Premises, and (ii) Tenant shall not be entitled to any allowances or other concessions with respect to the Renewal Term, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties hereto; provided, however, Landlord shall have no obligation to agree to any such allowances or concessions.

              1.3.5    Except for the specific Renewal Option set forth above, there shall be no further privilege of renewal.

              1.3.6    As used herein, the term "Fair Market Rental Rate" shall mean the per square foot base rental rate, including annual escalations, then being charged by Landlord for new leases for comparable space in the Building or, if no comparable space exists in the Building, then being charged by landlords for

2

comparable space in  industrial buildings in the trade area for leases commencing on or about the commencement of the  Renewal Term, taking into consideration the use, location and floor level of the applicable building, leasehold improvements provided, the term of the lease under consideration, the extent of services provided thereunder and other adjustments to the base rental and any other relevant term or condition in making such evaluation, assuming, however, for purposes of the foregoing analysis, that the Premises is fit for immediate use and occupancy in its "AS IS" condition and that no work is required to be done by Landlord with respect thereto. Landlord shall determine the Fair Market Rental Rate using its good faith judgment and shall provide written notice of such rate within fifteen (15) business days after Tenant's exercise notice pursuant to this Section. Tenant shall thereupon have the following options: (i) to accept such proposed "Fair Market Rental Rate", or (ii) to decline to exercise the Renewal Option. Tenant must provide Landlord with written notification of its election within fifteen (15) business days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's notice, otherwise Tenant shall be deemed to have elected clause (ii) above, in which event Tenant shall be deemed to have rescinded its exercise notice and this Lease shall expire on the expiration date of the initial Term, as if Tenant had not elected to exercise the Renewal Option hereunder.

      1.4.    Condition of the Premises; Commencement Date.

              1.4.1    Landlord's Work.

                       Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, perform the work set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto using Building standard materials and specifications (the "Landlord's Work"). With the exception of Landlord's Work, Tenant acknowledges that it has inspected and accepts the Premises and the Project in their present "as-is" condition as suitable for the purpose for which the Premises are leased. The taking of possession by Tenant shall be conclusive to establish that the Premises are in good and satisfactory condition when possession is taken. With the exception of Landlord's Work, Tenant further acknowledges that no representations or promises were made by Landlord or any agent of Landlord to repair, alter, remodel or improve the Premises, except as expressly set forth in this Lease. Tenant accepts the Premises without warranty of any kind.

              1.4.2    Commencement Date.

                       The Commencement Date shall be the date provided in Item 5 of the Basic Lease Provisions. If this Lease is executed before the Premises become vacant or otherwise available or if any present tenant or occupant of the Premises holds over, and Landlord cannot acquire possession of the Premises in time to deliver them by the Commencement Date, this Lease shall not be void or voidable, and Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default hereunder, nor shall Landlord be liable for any loss or damage directly or indirectly arising out of or resulting from such holdover, provided that in the event that the actual date of commencement is more than sixty (60) days after the date provided in Item 5 of the Basic Lease Provisions (subject to force majeure delays and any delays caused by Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors), Tenant shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to a rent credit equal to one day's Base Rent for each day that the Commencement Date is delayed beyond such sixty (60) day period. In the event that the actual date of commencement is more than one (1) year after the date that this Lease is fully executed (subject to force majeure delays and any delays caused by Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors), Tenant shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord given within thirty (30) days after the expiration of such one (1) year period (but in any event prior to the date that Landlord delivers possession of the Premises with Landlord's Work substantially complete). Except as set forth herein, Tenant agrees to accept possession of the Premises at such time as Landlord is able to tender the same, which date shall thenceforth be deemed the Commencement Date. After the Commencement Date, Tenant shall, upon demand, execute and deliver to Landlord a letter of acceptance of delivery of the Premises specifying the Commencement Date.
      1.4.    Condition of the Premises; Commencement Date.

      1.5.    Early Entry into Premises. Tenant may enter into the Premises commencing on the date that is three (3) weeks prior to the Commencement Date solely for the purpose of installing furniture, special flooring or carpeting, trade fixtures, telephones, computers, photocopy equipment, and other business equipment. Such early entry will not advance the Commencement Date so long as Tenant does not commence business operations from any part of the Premises. All of the provisions of this Lease shall apply to Tenant during any early entry, including the indemnity in Paragraph 12.1, but excluding the obligation to pay Rent unless and until Tenant has commenced business operations in the Premises, whereupon Rent shall commence. Landlord may revoke its permission for Tenant's early entry if Tenant's activities or workers interfere with the completion of Landlord's Work. If Tenant is granted early entry, Landlord shall not be responsible for any loss, including theft, damage or destruction to any work or material installed or stored by Tenant at the Premises or for any injury to Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors, subcontractors, subtenants, assigns or invitees (collectively, "Tenant's Parties"), unless such theft, damage or destruction arises out of or results from Landlord's negligence or willful misconduct. Landlord shall have the right to post appropriate notices of non-responsibility and to require Tenant to provide Landlord with evidence that Tenant has fulfilled its obligation to provide insurance pursuant to paragraphs 7(d) and 12.3 of this Lease.

2.    RENT AND SECURITY DEPOSIT.

      2.1.    Rent. Rent (as defined below) shall accrue hereunder from the Rent Commencement Date set forth in Item 7 of the Basic Lease Provisions. The amounts per month provided in Item 8 of the Basic Lease Provisions ("Base Rent"), plus the "Additional Rent" (as defined in Paragraph 2.4 below) together with any other sums payable by Tenant under this Lease shall collectively constitute the "Rent." The seventh full calendar month's Rent shall be due and payable upon execution of this Lease in the total amount shown in Item 9 of the Basic Lease Provisions. A monthly installment in the same amount, subject to the adjustments described herein, shall be due and payable without demand on or before the first day of each calendar month succeeding the Commencement Date during the Term, except that Rent for any fractional calendar month at the commencement or end of the Term shall be prorated on a daily basis.

3

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, utilities and Additional Rent shall accrue hereunder from the Commencement Date set forth in Item 5 of the Basic Lease Provisions.

      2.2.    Security Deposit. Tenant shall deposit with Landlord upon execution of this Lease the sum provided in Item 10 of the Basic Lease Provisions ("Security Deposit"), which sum shall be held by Landlord in its general fund, commingled with Landlord's own funds, without obligation to Tenant for interest, as security for the performance of Tenant's covenants and obligations under this Lease, it being expressly understood and agreed that the Security Deposit is not an advance rental deposit or a measure of Landlord's damages in case of Tenant's default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy provided herein or provided by law, use the Security Deposit to the extent necessary to make good any arrears of Rent or other payments due Landlord hereunder, all of which shall be deemed to be Rent, and any other damage, injury, expense or liability caused by such Event of Default; and Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the amount so applied in order to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Any remaining balance of the Security Deposit shall be returned by Landlord to Tenant within sixty (60) days after termination of this Lease, provided all of Tenant's obligations under this Lease have been fulfilled.

      2.3.    Tenant's Proportionate Share. "Tenant's Proportionate Share," as used in this Lease, shall mean (a) with respect to the cost of an item attributable to the Building, that portion of the cost of the applicable item that is obtained by multiplying such cost of the applicable item by a fraction, the numerator of which is the rentable square footage of the Premises and the denominator of which is the rentable square footage of the Building, which fraction is set forth as a percentage figure in Item 11 of the Basic Lease Provisions, and (b) with respect to the cost of an item attributable to the common areas or Land in the Project (but not any buildings in the Project), that portion of such cost of the applicable item that is obtained by multiplying the fraction described in clause (a) above by the portion of the cost of the applicable item that is allocated to the Building by Landlord in a reasonably consistent manner which reflects the size of the Building and other buildings, the types of uses to which the Building and other buildings are primarily suited and the relative demands and burdens that such uses place on the Project.

      2.4.    Additional Rent.

              2.4.1    Definition. In addition to the Base Rent set forth in Paragraph 2.1, Tenant agrees to pay Tenant's Proportionate Share of (a) "Taxes" as defined in and payable by Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 4.1 below, (b) Landlord's costs of providing insurance on the Project pursuant to Paragraph 12.2 below, and (c) "Operating Expenses" as defined in and incurred pursuant to Paragraph 5.1 below (collectively, "Additional Rent").

              2.4.2    Monthly Payments and Annual Reconciliation. On the first day of each month of the Term, Tenant shall pay Landlord a sum equal to 1/12 of the estimated amount of Additional Rent for that particular year based on Landlord's reasonable estimate thereof, to be delivered to Tenant on or about January of each year during the Term. The monthly payments are subject to increase or decrease as determined by Landlord to reflect revised estimates of such costs. Tenant shall pay within thirty (30) days following demand therefor by Landlord any increases in estimated Additional Rent upon receipt of any initial or revised estimate retroactive to January of that calendar year. The payments made by Tenant shall be reconciled annually. If Tenant's total payments of Additional Rent are less than the actual Additional Rent due under Paragraph 2.4.1, Tenant shall pay the difference within thirty (30) days following demand therefor by Landlord; if the total payments of Additional Rent made by Tenant are more than the actual Additional Rent due under Paragraph 2.4.1, Landlord shall retain such excess and credit it to Tenant's next accruing Additional Rent payments, except at the end of the Term, when any excess will be refunded. Any failure or delay by Landlord in delivering any estimate, demand or reconciliation shall not affect the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder.

              2.4.3    Tenant's Audit Rights. Provided that Tenant is not then in default beyond any applicable cure period of its obligations to pay Rent, or any other payments required to be made by it under this Lease and provided further that Tenant shall have the right, once each calendar year, to cause a Qualified Person (as defined below) to reasonably review supporting data for any portion of an actual statement of annual Operating Expenses delivered by Landlord (the "Actual Statement") (provided, however, Tenant may not have an audit right to all documentation relating to Building operations as this would far-exceed the relevant information necessary to properly document a pass-through billing statement, but real estate tax statements, and information on utilities, repairs, maintenance and insurance will be available), in accordance with the following procedure:

                        (i)    Tenant shall, within one hundred twenty (120) days after any Actual Statement is delivered, deliver a written notice to Landlord specifying the portions of the Actual Statement that are claimed to be incorrect, and Tenant shall simultaneously pay to Landlord all amounts due from Tenant to Landlord as specified in the Actual Statement. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to withhold, deduct, or offset any monetary obligation of Tenant to Landlord under the Lease (including without limitation, Tenant's obligation to make all payments of Rent and all payments of Tenant's Operating Expenses) pending the completion of any review of records under this Paragraph. The right of Tenant under this Paragraph may only be exercised once for any Actual Statement, and if Tenant fails to meet any of the above conditions as a prerequisite to the exercise of such right, the right of Tenant under this Paragraph for a particular Actual Statement shall be deemed waived.

                        (ii)   Tenant acknowledges that Landlord maintains its records for the Project at Landlord's main office, and Tenant agrees that any review of records under this Paragraph shall be at the sole expense of Tenant and shall be conducted by a Qualified Person. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that any records reviewed under this Paragraph constitute confidential information of Landlord, which shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the Qualified Person performing the review, the principals of Tenant who receive the results of the review, and Tenant's accounting employees. The disclosure of such information to any other person, whether or not caused by the conduct of Tenant, shall constitute an Event of Default under this Lease.

4

              2.4.4    Any errors disclosed by the review shall be promptly corrected by Landlord, provided, however, that if Landlord disagrees with any such claimed errors, Landlord shall have the right to cause another review to be made by a Qualified Person. In the event of a disagreement between the two reviews, Landlord and Tenant shall submit each Qualified Person's conclusion to an independent Qualified Person (chosen by Landlord and Tenant) (the "Arbitrator"). The Arbitrator shall hear the parties and their evidence and render a decision within thirty (30) days following the selection of such Arbitrator and notify Landlord and Tenant thereof. Tenant shall bear the expense of the Arbitrator (if any), unless it is determined that Landlord's original determination of the actual Operating Expenses was in error by more than seven percent (7%), in which event Landlord shall pay the expenses of such Arbitrator. The decision of the Arbitrator shall be binding on the parties. In the event that the results of the review of records (taking into account, if applicable, the results of any additional review caused by Landlord) reveal that Tenant has overpaid obligations for a preceding period, the amount of such overpayment shall be credited against Tenant's subsequent installment obligations to pay the estimated Operating Expense. In the event that such results show that Tenant has underpaid its obligations for a preceding period, the amount of such underpayment shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord with the next succeeding installment obligation of estimated Operating Expense. In addition, if it is finally determined that the actual Operating Expenses are less than ninety-three percent (93%) of the Operating Expenses stated in the Actual Statement, then all of Tenant's reasonable auditing costs shall be borne by Landlord for any such period in which such discrepancy is confirmed (not to exceed $1,500.00).

                        (i)    A "Qualified Person" means an accountant or other person experienced in accounting for income and expenses of industrial projects engaged solely by Tenant on terms which do not entail any compensation based or measured in any way upon any savings in Additional Rent or reduction in Operating Expenses achieved through the inspection process.

      2.5.    Payment. Tenant shall pay Landlord all amounts due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder, whether for Rent or otherwise, in lawful money of the United States, at the place set forth in Item 1 of the Basic Lease Provisions or at such other addresses as Landlord may have hereafter specified by written notice, without any deduction or offset whatsoever.

      2.6.    Late. Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant of any sum owed to Landlord under this Lease will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amounts of which are extremely difficult and impracticable to fix. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges, time spent addressing the issue with Tenant, and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any obligation or note secured by any encumbrance covering the Premises. Therefore, if any installment of Rent or other payment due from Tenant is not received by Landlord within five (5) days after the date due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional sum equal to ten percent (10%) of the overdue Rent or other payment as a late charge. Late charges shall be deemed Additional Rent. The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the administrative and other costs that Landlord will incur by reason of a late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of any late payment charge shall not constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to the overdue payment, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies available to Landlord under this Lease, at law or in equity, including, but not limited to, the interest charge imposed pursuant to Paragraph 22.2.

3.    USE.

      3.1.    Use of Premises. Subject to any additional uses or limitations on use contained in Item 12 of the Basic Lease Provisions, the Premises shall be used only for light manufacturing purposes or for the purpose of receiving, storing, shipping and selling (other than retail) products, materials and merchandise made and/or distributed by Tenant and for such other lawful purposes as may be directly incidental thereto, and for no other use or purpose. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has not made any representations or warranties with respect to the suitability of the Premises for Tenant's uses. Tenant and Tenant's Parties shall at all times comply with all rules and regulations regarding the Premises, the Building and/or the Project as Landlord may establish from time to time. Landlord shall not be responsible for nor liable to Tenant for any violation and/or enforcement of such rules and regulations by any other tenant of the Project.

      Tenant shall be responsible for and shall at its own cost and expense obtain any and all licenses and permits necessary for any such use. Tenant shall comply with all restrictive covenants affecting Tenant, the Premises or the Project, governmental laws, ordinances, directives, court orders, rules and regulations applicable to the use of the Premises, including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 triggered subsequent to the Commencement Date as a result of Tenant's alterations or use of the Premises. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject to Paragraph 7 below, Tenant shall at its own cost and expense install and construct all physical improvements to or needed to serve the Premises made necessary by the nature of Tenant's use of the Premises or any alterations made by or on behalf of Tenant; provided, however, that Landlord shall have the option to install and construct such improvements, in which case the cost thereof shall be equitably allocated by Landlord in its reasonable discretion among the benefited premises, and Tenant, upon demand, shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, such portion of the cost thereof as may be allocated equitably, in Landlord's reasonable discretion, to the Premises. Tenant shall not place a load upon the floor of the Premises which exceeds the load per square foot which such floor was designed to carry and which is allowed by law. Tenant shall promptly comply with all governmental orders and directives for the correction, prevention and abatement of nuisances in or upon, or connected with, the Premises, all at Tenant's sole expense. Tenant shall not permit any objectionable or unpleasant odors, smoke, dust, gas, noise or vibrations to emanate from the Premises, nor take any other action which would constitute a nuisance or would unreasonably disturb or endanger any other tenants of the Project or unreasonably interfere with their use of their respective premises.

5

      Tenant shall not permit the Premises to be used for any purpose or in any manner (including without limitation any method of storage) which would render the insurance thereon void or the insurance risk more hazardous or cause the state insurance authority to disallow any sprinkler credits. If any increase in the fire and extended coverage insurance premiums paid by Landlord or other tenants for the Project is caused solely by Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises, then Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent the amount of such increase to Landlord, and, upon demand by Landlord, correct at Tenant's expense the cause of such disallowance, increased cost, penalty or surcharge to the satisfaction of the particular insurance provider or authority, as applicable.

      Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Tenant shall not store any fixtures, furniture, equipment, goods or other personal property outside of the Premises and, in the event Landlord permits such outside storage in writing, Tenant shall maintain adequate insurance on all such goods and other property. In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant or any other party for any loss, including theft, damage or destruction to such property.

      3.2.    Hazardous Materials. Except for the incidental use of certain commonly used products for routine cleaning and maintenance of floors, bathrooms, windows, kitchens, and administrative offices on the Premises or Project, which products have been disclosed by Tenant to Landlord in the Environmental Questionnaire (as defined below), Tenant hereby represents, warrants and covenants that Tenant will not produce, use, store or generate any "Hazardous Materials" (as defined below) on, under or about the Premises and/or Project. Tenant has fully and accurately completed Landlord's Pre-Leasing Environmental Exposure Questionnaire ("Environmental Questionnaire") attached hereto as Exhibit D incorporated herein by reference. If Tenant's Environmental Questionnaire indicates that Tenant will be utilizing Hazardous Materials, in addition to all other rights and remedies Landlord may have under this Lease, including, without limitation, declaring a default hereunder by Tenant for breach of representation, Landlord may require Tenant to execute an amendment to this Lease relating to such Hazardous Materials use and Tenant's failure to execute any such amendment within ten (10) days of Landlord's delivery thereof to Tenant shall constitute a default hereunder by Tenant. Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Material to be brought upon, placed, stored, manufactured, generated, blended, handled, recycled, disposed of, used or released on, in, under or about the Premises and/or Project by Tenant or Tenant's Parties. Tenant shall not excavate, disturb or conduct any testing of any soils on or about the Project without obtaining Landlord's prior written consent, and any investigation or remediation on or about the Project shall be conducted only by a consultant approved in writing by Landlord and pursuant to a work letter approved in writing by Landlord. Tenant shall keep, operate and maintain the Premises in full compliance with all federal, state and local environmental, health and/or safety laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, codes, orders, directives, guidelines, permits or permit conditions currently existing and as amended, enacted, issued or adopted in the future which are applicable to the Premises (collectively, "Environmental Laws").

      Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation) to enter upon the Premises and cure any non-compliance by Tenant with the terms of this Paragraph 3.2 or any Environmental Laws or any release, discharge, spill, improper use, storage, handling or disposal of Hazardous Materials on, under, from, or about the Premises or Project, regardless of the quantity of any such release, discharge, spill, improper use, storage, handling or disposal of Hazardous Materials on or about the Premises or Project, the full cost of which shall be deemed to be Rent and shall be due and payable by Tenant to Landlord immediately upon demand. If Landlord elects to enter upon the Premises and cure any such non-compliance or release, discharge, spill, improper use, storage, handling or disposal of Hazardous Materials on, under, from, or about the Premises or Project, Tenant shall not be entitled to participate in Landlord's activities on the Premises.

      If any information provided to Landlord by Tenant in the Environmental Questionnaire, or otherwise relating to information concerning Hazardous Materials is false, incomplete, or misleading in any material respect, the same shall be deemed an Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease.

      Without limiting in any way Tenant's obligations under any other provision of this Lease, Tenant and its successors and assigns shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold Landlord, its partners, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, lenders, contractors and each of their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") harmless from any and all claims, judgments, damages, penalties, enforcement actions, taxes, fines, remedial actions, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, actual attorneys' fees, litigation, arbitration and administrative proceeding costs, expert and consultant fees and laboratory costs) including, without limitation, damages arising out of the diminution in the value of the Premises or Project or any portion thereof, damages for the loss of the Premises or Project, damages arising from any adverse impact on the marketing of space in the Premises or Project, and sums paid in settlement of claims, which arise during or after the Term in whole or in part as a result of the presence of any Hazardous Materials, in, on, under, from or about the Premises or the Project and/or other adjacent properties resulting directly from Tenant's or Tenant's Parties' activities, or failures to act (including, without limitation, Tenant's failure to report any spill or release to the appropriate regulatory agencies), on or about the Premises or Project.

      Landlord represents and warrants that, to Landlord's actual knowledge as of the date of this Lease, the Premises and the Project are free of all Hazardous Materials in violation of Environmental Laws.

      Landlord and its successors and assigns shall indemnify, defend, reimburse and hold Tenant, its partners, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, lenders, contractors and each of their respective successors and assigns (collectively, "Landlord's Indemnified Parties"), harmless from any and all claims, judgments, damages, penalties, enforcement actions, taxes, fines, remedial actions, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, actual attorneys' fees, litigation, arbitration and administrative proceeding costs, expert and consultant fees and laboratory costs), including the cost of remediation, which exist as a result of Hazardous Materials on the Premises or the Project resulting directly from Landlord's actions, during or after the Term,

6

except to the extent brought onto the Premises or Project by Tenant. Landlord's obligations shall include, but not be limited to, the cost of investigation, removal, remediation, restoration and/or abatement, and shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. Tenant may terminate this Lease by notifying Landlord in writing to such effect within the hereafter defined Remediation Period if Landlord fails in the foregoing sentence's requirement of removal, remediation, restoration and/or abatement within one hundred eighty (180) days after Tenant's notifying Landlord in writing ("Remediation Period") of the existence of Hazardous Materials on the Premises pursuant to this subparagraph (subject to any delays caused by Tenant or any force majeure delays), which condition significantly limits Tenant's use of the Premises. None of the costs or expenses incurred by Landlord in the performance of its obligations under this Paragraph shall be included in Operating Expenses.

      For purposes of this Lease, the term "Hazardous Material" means any chemical, substance, material, controlled substance, object, waste or any combination thereof, which is or may be hazardous to human health, safety or to the environment due to its radioactivity, ignitability, corrosiveness, reactivity, explosiveness, toxicity, carcinogenicity, infectiousness or other harmful or potentially harmful properties or effects, including, without limitation, petroleum and petroleum products, benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, xylenes, waste oil, asbestos, radon, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), degreasers, solvents, and any and all of those chemicals, substances, materials, controlled substances, objects, wastes or combinations thereof which are now or may become in the future listed, defined or regulated in any manner as "hazardous substances," "hazardous wastes," "toxic substances," "solid wastes" or bearing similar or analogous definitions pursuant to any and all Environmental Laws.

      3.3.    Use of Common Areas. Tenant and Tenant's Parties shall have the non-exclusive right, in common with the other parties occupying the Project, to use the grounds, sidewalks, parking areas, driveways and alleys of the Project, subject to such reasonable rules and regulations as Landlord may from time to time prescribe. Tenant and Tenant's Parties may park only up to the maximum number of automobiles and trucks shown in Item 13 of the Basic Lease Provisions near the Premises on a non-exclusive basis. Outside storage, including without limitation, trucks and other vehicles, is prohibited without Landlord's prior written consent, which may be withheld in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion. Tenant shall not succeed to any of Landlord's easement rights over and relating to the Project, nor shall Tenant obtain any rights to common areas, as designated by Landlord, other than those rights specifically granted to Tenant in this Lease. Landlord shall have the sole right of control over the use, maintenance, configuration, repair and improvement of the common area. Landlord may make such changes to the use or configuration of, or improvements comprising, the common area as Landlord may elect without liability to Tenant (including the right to add or eliminate buildings from the Project), subject only to Tenant's vehicular parking rights shown in Item 13 of the Basic Lease Provisions provided that such change shall not prohibit or otherwise materially interfere with Tenant's normal business operations for the use permitted hereunder.

4.    TAXES.

      4.1.    Payment of Real Property. Landlord agrees to pay, before they become delinquent, all real property taxes; current installments of any general or special assessments; license fees, commercial rental taxes, in lieu taxes, levies, charges, penalties or similar impositions imposed by any authority having the direct power to tax, and are paid or incurred by Landlord, including but not limited to, the following: (a) any tax on or measured by Rent received by Landlord from the Project or as against Landlord's business of leasing any of the Project; (b) any assessment, tax, fee, levy or charge imposed by governmental agencies for such services as fire protection, street, sidewalk and road maintenance, transportation, refuse removal and for other governmental services formerly provided without charge to property owners or occupants; (c) assessments due to deed restrictions and/or owner associations; and (d) costs of determining, filing, contesting and appealing any such tax, assessment or charge, including accountants', attorneys' and consultants' fees, but excluding any income, inheritance, estate or corporate franchise taxes of Landlord (collectively, "Taxes"). If, due to a future change in the method of taxation, any franchise, income, profit or other tax, however designated, shall be levied or imposed in substitution in whole or in part for (or in lieu of) any tax which would otherwise be included within the term "Taxes" as defined herein, then the same shall be included in the term "Taxes".

      4.2.    Liability for all Personal Property. Tenant shall be liable for all taxes levied or assessed against personal property, furniture, fixtures, above standard tenant improvements and alterations, additions or improvements placed by or for Tenant in the Premises. If any such taxes for which Tenant is liable are levied or assessed against Landlord or Landlord's property and if Landlord elects to pay the same or if the assessed value of Landlord's property is increased by inclusion of personal property, furniture, fixtures, above-standard tenant improvements or alterations, additions or improvements placed by or for Tenant in the Premises, and Landlord elects to pay the Taxes based on such increase, Tenant shall pay to Landlord upon demand that portion of the Taxes.

5.    LANDLORD'S MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR.

      5.1.    Landlord's.

      Tenant shall permit Landlord and its employees and agents, at all reasonable times upon at least forty-eight (48) hours notice to Tenant (except in the case of an emergency in which no notice shall be required), in such manner as to cause as little disturbance to Tenant as reasonably practicable (a) to enter into and upon the Premises to inspect them, to protect the Landlord's interest therein, or to post notices of non-responsibility, (b) to take all necessary materials and equipment into the Premises, and perform necessary work therein, and (c) to perform periodic environmental audits, inspections, investigations, testing and sampling of the Premises and/or the Project. No such work shall cause or permit any abatement or rebate of Rent to Tenant for any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, or damage, injury or inconvenience thereby occasioned, or constitute an actual or constructive eviction. Landlord may at any time place on or about the Building any ordinary "for sale" and "for lease" signs. Tenant shall also permit Landlord and its employees and agents, upon request, to enter the Premises or any part thereof, at reasonable times during normal business hours, to show the Premises to any fee owners, lessors of superior leases, holders of encumbrances on the interest of Landlord under the Lease, or prospective purchasers, mortgagees or lessees of the Project or Building as an entirety. During the period of six (6) months prior to the expiration date of this Lease, Landlord may exhibit the Premises to prospective tenants.

14.    ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

      14.1.   Landlord's Consent. Tenant shall not assign all or any portion of its interest in this Lease, whether voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, and shall not sublet all or any portion of the Premises, including, but not limited to, sharing them, permitting another party to occupy them or granting concessions or licenses to another party, except with the prior written consent of Landlord, which Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay. It shall be considered reasonable for Landlord to withhold consent if: (a) Tenant is in default of this Lease; (b) the assignee or subtenant is unwilling to assume in writing all of Tenant's obligations hereunder; (c) the assignee or subtenant has a financial condition which is reasonably unsatisfactory to Landlord or Landlord's mortgagee; (d) the Premises will be used for different purposes than those set forth in Paragraph 3 or for a use requiring or generating increased or different Hazardous Materials; (e) the proposed assignee or subtenant or its business is subject to compliance with additional requirements of the law (including, without limitation, related regulations) commonly known as the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 beyond those requirements applicable to Tenant; (f) Tenant proposes to assign less than all of its interest in this Lease or to sublet the Premises in units that are unusually small for the Project; (g) the assignee or subtenant requires extensive alterations to the Premises; and (h) the proposed assignee or subtenant or an affiliate thereof is an existing tenant in the Project or is or has been in discussions with Landlord regarding space within the Project.

      14.2.   Fees. In connection with each proposed assignment or subletting of the Premises by Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Landlord's actual costs including reasonable attorney's fees arising from such request (not to exceed $1,000.00).

      14.3.   Procedure. Whenever Tenant has obtained an offer to assign any interest in this Lease or to sublease all or any portion of the Premises, Tenant shall provide to Landlord the name and address of said proposed assignee or sublessee, the base rent and all other compensation to be paid to Tenant, the proposed

13

use by the proposed assignee or sublessee, the proposed effective date of the assignment or subletting, and any other business terms which are material to the offer and/or which differ from the provisions of this Lease ("Notice of Offer"). Tenant shall also provide to Landlord the nature of business, financial statement and business experience resume for the immediately preceding five (5) years of the proposed assignee or sublessee and such other information concerning such proposed assignee or sublessee as Landlord may require. The foregoing information shall be in writing and shall be received by Landlord no less than sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of the proposed assignment or sublease.

      Within thirty (30) days following its receipt of a Notice of Offer for the proposed assignment or subletting, Landlord shall be entitled to terminate this Lease as to all of the Premises (unless Tenant proposes a sublease of a portion of the Premises, in which event Landlord may terminate this Lease as to such portion) by written notice to Tenant ("Termination Notice"), and such termination shall be effective as of the proposed effective date of the proposed assignment or sublease. If Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall either notify Tenant that Landlord consents to the proposed assignment or subletting or withholds its consent for reasons to be specified in the notice. If Landlord does not provide a Termination Notice or a notice withholding its consent to Tenant within thirty (30) days following its receipt of a Notice of Offer, Landlord shall be deemed to have consented to the proposed assignment or subletting.

      14.4.   Bonus Rent. If any interest in this Lease is assigned or all or any portion of the Premises is subleased, Landlord shall receive fifty percent (50%) of the "bonus rent" to be realized from such assignment or subletting. The bonus rent shall mean any lump sum payment or other value received by Tenant, plus any base rent, percentage rent or periodic compensation received by Tenant from or for the benefit of an assignee or sublessee in excess of (a) all amounts owed for Rent and other charges pursuant to this Lease, and (b) all reasonable commissions and fees paid to any real estate broker or finder who is unaffiliated with Tenant in connection with the assignment or subletting. If a portion of the Premises is subleased, the amount in clause (a) shall be prorated based on the portion of the Premises' rentable area to be subleased. The bonus rent shall be paid on the first (1st) day of each calendar month next following Tenant's receipt of each payment from its assignee or sublessee, after reduction for all amounts described in clauses (a) and (b) above, amortized over the full term of the assignment or sublease.

      14.5.   Continuing Tenant Obligations. No subleasing or assignment shall relieve Tenant from liability for payment of all forms of Rent and other charges herein provided or from Tenant's obligations to keep and be bound by the terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease.

      14.6.   Waiver, Default and Consent. The acceptance of Rent from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the provisions of this Lease or a consent to the assignment or subletting of the Premises. Any assignment or sublease without the Landlord's prior written consent shall be voidable, at Landlord's election, and shall constitute a non-curable Event of Default under this Lease. Consent to any assignment or subletting shall not be deemed a consent to any future assignment or subletting.

      14.7.   Restructuring of Business Organizations. Any transfer of corporate shares or ownership interests of Tenant, so as to result in a change in the present voting control of Tenant by the person or persons owning a majority of said corporate shares or ownership interests on the date of this Lease (except for trading on an exchange), shall constitute an assignment and shall be subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 14.

      14.8.   Assignment of Sublease Rent. Tenant immediately and irrevocably assigns to Landlord, as security for Tenant's obligations under this Lease, all rents from any subletting of all or any part of the Premises, and Landlord, as assignee for purposes hereof, or a receiver for Tenant appointed on Landlord's application, may collect such rents and apply same toward Tenant's obligations under this Lease, except that, until the occurrence of an Event of Default by Tenant, Tenant shall have the right and license to collect such rents.

      14.9.   Assignment in Bankruptcy. If this Lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. 101 et seq., or such similar laws or amendments thereto which may be enacted from time to time (the "Bankruptcy Code"), any and all monies or other considerations payable or otherwise to be delivered in connection with such assignment shall be paid or delivered to Landlord, shall be and remain the exclusive property of Landlord and shall not constitute property of Tenant or of the estate of Tenant within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code. Any and all monies or other considerations constituting Landlord's property under the preceding sentence not paid or delivered to Landlord shall be held in trust for the benefit of Landlord and be promptly paid or delivered to Landlord.

      14.10.  Assumption of Obligations. Any person or entity to which this Lease is assigned pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed, without further act or deed, to have assumed all of the obligations arising under this Lease on and after the date of such assignment. Any such assignee shall upon demand execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument confirming such assumption.

      14.11.  Existing Licensee. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, upon execution of this Lease, Landlord shall be deemed to have consented to Tenant's licensing of a portion of the Premises consisting of approximately 1,600 square feet, designated as the "GLR Facility" on Exhibit F attached hereto (the "License Space"), to GLR Associates, Inc. ("GLR"). As a result of the license to GLR, Landlord shall not be entitled to any Bonus Rent as set forth in Section 14.4 of this Lease and Tenant shall not be required to submit any fees to Landlord set forth in Section 14.2 of this Lease. As a condition to Landlord's consent to the licensing of the License Space to GLR, (i) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of the license agreement or other occupancy agreement between Tenant and GLR (the "License Agreement"); (ii) such License Agreement shall contain a provision providing that it is subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease; and (iii) Tenant shall cause GLR to submit to Landlord a certificate of insurance evidencing a policy of commercial general

14

liability insurance with a limit of at least $2,000,000 per occurrence and such other insurance as is required under Sections 12.3.2 and 12.3.3 above. It is expressly agreed by the partiers hereto that no further consent or action shall be required by Landlord or Tenant with respect to Tenant's license of the License Space to GLR.

15.   CONDEMNATION.

      15.1.   Total Taking. If the whole or any substantial part of the Premises or the Project shall be taken or damaged because of the exercise of the power of eminent domain, whether by condemnation proceedings or otherwise, including acts or omissions constituting inverse condemnation, or any transfer of the Premises or Project or portion thereof in avoidance of the exercise of the power of eminent domain (collectively, a "Taking"), and the Taking would prevent or materially interfere with the use of the Premises for the purpose for which they are being used, this Lease shall terminate effective when the physical Taking of the Premises shall occur.

      15.2.   Partial Taking. If part of the Premises shall be subject to a Taking and this Lease is not terminated as provided in the Paragraph 15.1 above, this Lease shall not terminate but the Rent payable hereunder during the unexpired portion of this Lease shall be reduced in proportion to the area of the Premises rendered unusable by Tenant.

      15.3.   Condemnation Award. The entire award or compensation for any Taking of the Project and/or the Premises, or any part thereof, or for diminution in value, shall be the property of Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns its interest in any such award to Landlord; provided, however, Tenant shall be entitled to pursue with the condemning authority and Landlord shall have no interest in any separate award made to Tenant for loss of business, for relocation purposes, or for the taking of Tenant's fixtures and improvements.

16.   SURRENDER AND HOLDING OVER.

      16.1.   Surrender. Upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises in as good condition as when received, reasonable wear and tear excepted, broom clean and free of trash and rubbish, and free from all tenancies or occupancies by any person. Subject to Landlord's rights under Paragraph 19.8, Tenant shall remove all trade fixtures, furniture, equipment and other personal property installed in the Premises prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Unless otherwise provided in Paragraph 7 or waived by Landlord in writing prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove at its sole cost all alterations, additions and improvements made by Tenant to the Premises; provided, however, at the election of Landlord, all (or such portion as Landlord shall designate) alterations, additions and improvements to the Premises including, without limitation, all wall coverings, floor coverings, built-in cabinets, paneling and the like, shall become the property of Landlord and remain on the Premises at the end of the Term. Tenant shall, at its own cost, completely repair any and all damage to the Premises and the Building resulting from or caused by such removal. The provisions of Paragraph 7 shall apply to such removal and repair work.

      16.2.   Holding Over. If Landlord agrees in writing that Tenant may hold over after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, unless the parties hereto otherwise agree in writing as to the terms of such holding over, the holdover tenancy shall be subject to termination by Landlord or Tenant at any time upon not less than thirty (30) days' prior written notice. If Tenant holds over without the consent of Landlord, the same shall be a tenancy at will terminable at any time, and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for, and Tenant shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against, any damages, liabilities, losses, costs, expenses or claims suffered or caused by such holdover, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and damages and costs related to any successor tenant of the Premises to whom Landlord could not deliver possession of the Premises when promised. All of the other terms and provisions of this Lease shall be applicable during any holdover period, with or without consent of Landlord, except that Tenant shall pay to Landlord from time to time upon demand, as Rent for the period of any holdover, an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the then applicable Base Rent plus all Additional Rent in effect on the termination date, computed on a daily basis for each day of the holdover period. No holding over by Tenant, whether with or without consent of Landlord, shall operate to extend this Lease. The preceding provisions of this Paragraph 16.2 shall not be construed as Landlord's consent to any holding over by Tenant.

      16.3.   Entry at End of Term. If during the last month of the Term, Tenant shall have removed substantially all of Tenant's property and personnel from the Premises, Landlord may enter the Premises and repair, alter and redecorate the same, without abatement of Rent and without liability to Tenant, and such acts shall have no effect on this Lease. Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord at least thirty (30) days prior to vacating the Premises and shall arrange to meet with Landlord for a joint inspection of the Premises prior to vacating. In the event of Tenant's failure to give such notice or arrange such joint inspection, Landlord's inspection at or after Tenant's vacation of the Premises shall be conclusively deemed correct for purposes of determining Tenant's responsibility for repairs and restoration.

17.   QUIET ENJOYMENT.
      Landlord represents and warrants that it has full rights and authority to enter into this Lease and that Tenant, upon paying the Rent and performing its other covenants and agreements herein set forth, shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises for the Term without hindrance or molestation from Landlord, subject to the terms and provisions of this Lease, any ground lease, any mortgage or deed of trust now or hereafter encumbering the Premises or the Project, and all matters of record.

15

18.   EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

      The following events shall be deemed to be events of default by Tenant under this Lease (each, an "Event of Default"):

      18.1.   Failure to Pay Rent. Tenant shall, after at least ten (10) days written notice and opportunity to cure, fail to pay any installment of the Rent herein reserved when due, or any other payment or reimbursement to Landlord required herein when due (provided, however, that Landlord shall not be obligated to provide the foregoing written notice of default to Tenant more than two (2) times in any twelve (12) month period and an immediate Event of Default shall occur upon the third (3^rd) (and each subsequent) such failure of Tenant to pay any installment of the Rent due hereunder when due in such twelve (12)-month period).

      18.2.   Insolvency. Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant's obligations hereunder shall generally not pay its debts as they become due or shall admit in writing the inability to pay its debts or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors.

      18.3.   Appointment of Receiver. A receiver or trustee (or similar official) shall be appointed for all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant.

      18.4.   Bankruptcy. The filing of any voluntary petition by Tenant under the Bankruptcy Code, or the filing of an involuntary petition by Tenant's creditors, which involuntary petition remains undischarged for a period of sixty (60) days.

      18.5.   Attachment. The attachment, execution or other judicial seizure or non-judicial seizure of all or substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease or the Premises, if such attachment or other seizure remains undismissed or undischarged for a period of thirty (30) business days after the levy thereof.

      18.6.   Vacation of Premises. Tenant shall vacate or abandon all or a substantial portion of the Premises, whether or not Tenant is in default of the Rent or other charges due under this Lease, without providing Landlord at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice thereof.

      18.7.   Certificates.

      18.10.  Failure to Comply with Lease Terms. Tenant shall fail to comply with any other term, provision or covenant of this Lease, and shall not cure such failure within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to Tenant; provided, however, if such failure endangers or threatens life or property and such failure continues for a period of five (5) business days following written notice thereof the same shall be deemed an Event of Default by Tenant.

      18.11.  Guarantor Default. Any guarantor of Tenant's obligations hereunder shall be in default under the terms of its guaranty.

      18.12.  Assignment or Subletting without Consent. Any assignment, subletting or other transfer for which the prior consent of Landlord is required under this Lease and has not been obtained.

      Any notices to be provided by Landlord under this Paragraph 18 shall be the same as, and not in addition to, any notice required under California law.

19.   LANDLORD'S REMEDIES.

      Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord may, at its option without further notice or demand and in addition to any other rights and remedies hereunder or at law or in equity, do any or all of the following:

      19.1.   Termination. Terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises by any lawful means upon at least five (5) days' written notice (which notice may be satisfied by any notice which may be given by Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 18, if applicable), in which case Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord and, in addition to any rights and remedies Landlord may have at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the following rights:

16

              19.1.1   To re-enter the Premises then or at any time thereafter and remove all persons and property and possess the Premises, without prejudice to any other remedies Landlord may have by reason of Tenant's default or of such termination, and Tenant shall have no further claim hereunder.

              19.1.2   To recover all damages incurred by Landlord by reason of the default, including without limitation (i) the worth at the time of the award of the payments owed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease that were earned but unpaid at the time of termination; (ii) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the payments owed by Tenant to Landlord under the Lease that would have been earned after the date of termination until the time of the award exceeds the amount of the loss of payments owed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease for the same period that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; (iii) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the payments owed by Tenant to Landlord for the balance of the Term after the time of the award exceeds the amount of the loss of payments owed by Tenant for the same period that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; (iv) all costs incurred by Landlord in retaking possession of the Premises and restoring them to good order and condition; (v) all costs, including without limitation brokerage commissions, advertising costs and restoration and remodeling costs, incurred by Landlord in reletting the Premises; plus (vi) any other amount, including without limitation attorneys' fees and audit expenses, necessary to compensate Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom. "The worth at the time of the award," as used in clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph, is to be determined by computing interest as to each unpaid payment owed by Tenant to Landlord under the Lease, at the highest interest rate permitted by law. "The worth at the time of the award," as referred to in clause (iii) of this paragraph, is to be determined by discounting such amount, as of the time of award, at the discount rate of the San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank, plus 1%.

              19.1.3   To remove, at Tenant's sole risk, any and all personal property in the Premises and place such in a public or private warehouse or elsewhere at the sole cost and expense and in the name of Tenant. Any such warehouser shall have all of the rights and remedies provided by law against Tenant as owner of such property. If Tenant shall not pay the cost of such storage within thirty (30) days following Landlord's demand, Landlord may, subject to the provisions of applicable law, sell any or all such property at a public or private sale in such manner and at such times and places as Landlord deems proper, without notice to or demand upon Tenant. Tenant waives all claims for damages caused by Landlord's removal, storage or sale of the property and shall indemnify and hold Landlord free and harmless from and against any and all loss, cost and damage, including without limitation court costs and attorneys' fees. Tenant hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord as Tenant's attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with all rights and powers necessary to effectuate the provisions of this subparagraph.

              19.1.4   In the event of termination and/or repossession of the Premises for an Event of Default, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises and to collect rental after reletting, provided, that, Tenant shall not be entitled to credit or reimbursement of any proceeds in excess of the rental owed hereunder. Landlord may relet the whole or any portion of the Premises for any period, to any tenant and for any use and purpose. In satisfying Landlord's responsibility to mitigate its damages, Landlord shall not be obligated:

              (1)   To solicit or entertain negotiations with any other prospective tenants for the Premises until Landlord obtains full and complete possession of the Premises including the final and unappealable legal right to re-let the Premises free of any claim of Tenant for possession, or to lease the Premises on terms which are not commercially reasonable under the circumstances;

              (2)   To offer the Premises to a prospective tenant when other Premises in the Project suitable for that prospective tenant's use are available;

              (3)   To lease the Premises to a substitute tenant for a rental substantially less than the then current fair market rental then prevailing for similar uses in comparable projects in the same market area as the Project (taking into account any tenant allowance offered by Landlord);

              (4)   To lease the Premises to a proposed substitute tenant whose use would violate any restriction, covenant or requirement contained in the lease of another tenant of the Project; or

              (5)   To lease to a proposed substitute tenant who does not have, in Landlord's reasonable opinion, sufficient financial resources or operating experience to operate the Premises in a first class manner.

      19.2.   Continuation of Lease. Terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease, in which case this Lease shall continue in effect whether or not Tenant shall have abandoned the Premises. In such event, Landlord may enforce all of Landlord's rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover rent as it becomes due hereunder, and, at Landlord's election, to re-enter and relet the Premises on such terms and conditions as Landlord deems appropriate. If Landlord relets the Premises or any portion thereof, any rent collected shall be applied against amounts due from Tenant. Landlord may execute any lease made pursuant hereto in its own name, and Tenant shall have no right to collect any such rent or other proceeds. Landlord's re-entry and/or reletting of the Premises, or any other acts, shall not be deemed an acceptance of surrender of the Premises or Tenant's interest therein, a termination of this Lease or a waiver or release of Tenant's obligations hereunder. Landlord shall have the same rights with respect to Tenant's improvements and personal property as under Paragraph 19.1 above, even though such re-entry and/or reletting do not constitute acceptance of surrender of the Premises or termination of this Lease. Actions to collect amounts due by Tenant to Landlord under this subparagraph may be brought from time to time, on one or more occasions, without the necessity of Landlord's waiting until expiration of the Term.

17

      19.3.   Appointment of Receiver. Cause a receiver to be appointed in any action against Tenant and to cause such receiver to take possession of the Premises and to collect the rents or bonus rent derived therefrom. The foregoing shall not constitute an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease unless specific notice of such intent is given.

      19.4.   Late Charge. Charge late charges as provided in Paragraph 2.6.

      19.5.   Interest. Charge interest on any amount not paid when due as provided in Paragraph 22.2. Interest shall accrue from the date funds are first due or, if the payment is for funds expended by Landlord on Tenant's behalf, from the date Landlord expends such funds.

      19.6.   Attorneys' Fees. Collect, upon demand, all reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses incurred by Landlord in enforcing its rights and remedies hereunder.

      19.7.   Injunction. To restrain by injunction or other equitable means any breach or anticipated breach of this Lease.

20.   LANDLORD DEFAULT; TENANT'S REMEDIES.

      20.1.   Landlord's Default. Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease unless Landlord fails to perform obligations required of Landlord within thirty (30) days after written notice is delivered by Tenant to Landlord and to the holder of any mortgages or deeds of trust (collectively, "Lender") covering the Premises whose name and address shall have theretofore been furnished to Tenant in writing, specifying the obligation which Landlord has failed to perform; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord's obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance, then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord or Lender commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion.

      20.2.   Tenant's Remedies. In the event of any default, breach or violation of Tenant's rights under this Lease by Landlord, Tenant's exclusive remedies shall be an action for specific performance or action for actual damages. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to consequential, punitive or exemplary damages on account of any Landlord default. Tenant hereby waives the benefit of any laws granting it the right to perform Landlord's obligation, a lien upon the property of Landlord and/or upon Rent due Landlord, or the right to terminate this Lease or offset or withhold Rent on account of any Landlord default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any default by Landlord under this Lease beyond all applicable notice and cure periods, Tenant shall have the right to cure any such default affecting the inside of the Premises only and ▇▇▇▇ to Landlord the reasonable costs of such cure, which amount shall be paid by Landlord within thirty (30) days of receipt of a ▇▇▇▇ therefor with reasonable backup information requested by Landlord. If Landlord fails to pay such amounts within said thirty (30) day period, such amounts shall accrue interest at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum until paid. Nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver by Landlord of Landlord's right to contest the validity of any alleged failure pursuant to this Paragraph or as a right of Tenant to setoff any amounts against any installment of Rent or other sums due Landlord hereunder, and Landlord expressly reserves all rights and remedies available to Landlord for any amounts improperly charged to Landlord pursuant to this Paragraph.

      20.3.   Non-Recourse. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, any judgment obtained by Tenant or any of Tenant's Parties against Landlord or any Indemnified Parties shall be satisfied only out of Landlord's equity interest in the Building and the legal parcel of land on which it sits. Neither Landlord nor any Indemnified Parties shall have any personal liability for any matter in connection with this Lease or its obligations as Landlord of the Premises, except as provided above. Tenant shall not institute, seek or enforce any personal or deficiency judgment against Landlord or any Indemnified Parties, and none of their property shall be available to satisfy any judgment hereunder, except as provided in this Paragraph 20.3.

      20.4.   Sale of Premises. In the event of any sale or transfer of the Premises (and provided that any security deposit held by the seller, transferor or assignor (collectively, "Seller") is delivered or credited to the purchaser, transferee or assignee (collectively, "Purchaser"), the Seller shall be and hereby is entirely freed and relieved of all agreements, covenants and obligations of Landlord thereafter to be performed and it shall be deemed and construed without further agreement between the parties or their successors in interest or between the Seller and the Purchaser on any such sale, transfer or assignment that such Purchaser has assumed and agreed to carry out any and all agreements, covenants and obligations of Landlord hereunder.

21.   MORTGAGES.

      At the election of Landlord, or the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust affecting the Project or any ground lessor, this Lease and all of Tenant's rights hereunder shall be subject and subordinate at all times to any deed of trust, mortgage or ground lease which may now or hereafter affect the Project, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. If any such mortgage or deed of trust is foreclosed or any ground lease terminated, at the election of Landlord's successor in interest, Tenant agrees, for the benefit of such successor in interest, to attorn to such successor in interest and become its tenant on the terms and conditions of this Lease for the remainder of the Term, and if required, to enter into a new lease with such successor in interest in the form of this Lease. Tenant's agreement to attorn shall survive the termination of this Lease. At the request of Landlord, the holder of such mortgage or deed of trust or any ground lessor, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver promptly in recordable form any instrument or subordination agreement that Landlord or such holder may request; provided, however, that such instrument shall include a provision requiring the purchaser at any foreclosure sale to continue this Lease in full force and effect in the same manner as if such purchaser were the Landlord so long as Tenant is not otherwise in

18

default and requiring Tenant to attorn to such purchaser. In addition, at the request of Landlord, the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust or any ground lessor, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver promptly in recordable form any instrument that Landlord or such holder may request to make this Lease superior to such mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease. Tenant's failure to execute each instrument, release or document within fifteen (15) days after written demand (which failure continues for an additional five (5) days after a second (2^nd) written notice from Landlord) shall constitute an Event of Default by Tenant hereunder without further notice to Tenant (along with an immediate penalty of $5,000.00, payable by Tenant upon demand therefor), or at Landlord's option Landlord shall execute such instrument, release or document on behalf of Tenant as Tenant's attorney-in-fact. Tenant does hereby make, constitute and irrevocably appoint Landlord as Tenant's attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, and in Tenant's name, place and stead, to execute such documents in accordance with this Paragraph 21. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Lease shall not be subordinate to any future mortgage or ground lease unless the ground lessor or mortgagee executes and delivers to Tenant a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement containing an agreement that Tenant's leasehold interest hereunder and other rights and options shall not be disturbed in the event that the ground lessor or mortgagee succeeds to Landlord's rights hereunder, so long as no event of default exists hereunder beyond applicable notice and cure periods and Tenant attorns to such successor.

22.   GENERAL PROVISIONS.

      22.1.   Singular and Plural. Words of any gender used in this Lease shall be held and construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular number shall be held to include the plural, unless the context otherwise requires.

      22.2.   Interest on Past-Due Obligations. Except as expressly herein provided to the contrary, any amount due to Landlord not paid within fifteen (15) days after the date due shall bear interest at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum from the date due. Payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease, provided, however, that interest shall not be payable on late charges incurred by Tenant.

      22.3.   Time of Essence. Time is of the essence.

      22.4.   Binding Effect. The terms, provisions and covenants and conditions contained in this Lease shall apply to, inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the parties hereto and upon their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns, except as otherwise herein expressly provided.

      22.5.   Choice of Law. This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the State in which the Project is located applicable to contracts made and to be performed in such state.

      22.6.   Captions. The captions inserted in this Lease are for convenience only and in no way define, limit or otherwise describe the scope or intent of this Lease, or any provision hereof, or in any way affect the interpretation of this Lease.

      22.7.   Certificates. Tenant agrees from time to time within ten (10) days after request of Landlord, to deliver to Landlord, or Landlord's designee, a Certificate of Occupancy for work performed by Tenant or Tenant's Parties in the Premises, annual financial statements (including balance sheets, income statements and other documents reasonably requested by Landlord) for each of the previous three (3) fiscal years of Tenant, and an estoppel certificate stating that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect), the date to which Rent has been paid, the unexpired Term of this Lease and such other matters pertaining to this Lease as may be requested by Landlord or Landlord's designee. Any such certificate may be conclusively relied upon by Landlord or Landlord's designee. At Landlord's option, Tenant's failure to timely deliver such certificate (which failure continues for an additional five (5) days after a second (2^nd) written notice from Landlord) shall be an Event of Default by Tenant, without further notice to Tenant (along with an immediate penalty of $5,000.00, payable by Tenant upon demand therefor), or it shall be conclusive upon Tenant that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's performance, and that not more than one (1) month's rent has been paid in advance.

      22.8.   Amendments. This Lease may not be altered, changed or amended except by an instrument in writing signed and dated by both parties hereto. Tenant agrees to make such reasonable modifications to this Lease as may be required by any lender in connection with the obtaining of financing or refinancing of the Project or any portion thereof.

      22.9.   Entire Agreement. This Lease constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the subject matter of this Lease, and contains all of the covenants and agreements of Landlord and Tenant with respect thereto, and supersedes all prior agreements or understandings. Landlord and Tenant each acknowledge that no representations, inducements, promises or agreements, oral or written, have been made by Landlord or Tenant, or anyone acting on behalf of Landlord or Tenant, which are not contained herein, and any prior agreements, promises, negotiations, or representations not expressly set forth in this Lease are of no force or effect.

      22.10.  The waiver by Landlord of any term, covenant, agreement or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant, agreement or condition herein contained, nor shall any custom or practice which may arise between the parties in the administration of this Lease be construed to waive or lessen the right of Landlord to insist upon the performance by Tenant in strict accordance with all of

19

the provisions of this Lease. The subsequent acceptance of Rent hereunder by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any provisions, covenant, agreement or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular Rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such Rent.

      22.11.  Attorneys' Fees. If either Landlord or Tenant commences or engages in, or threatens to commence or engage in, an action by or against the other party arising out of or in connection with this Lease or the Premises, including but not limited to any action for recovery of Rent due and unpaid, to recover possession or for damages for breach of this Lease, the prevailing party shall be entitled to have and recover from the losing party reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in connection with the action, preparation for such action, any appeals relating thereto and enforcing any judgments rendered in connection therewith.

      22.12.  Merger. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant or a mutual cancellation hereof shall not constitute a merger. Such event shall, at the option of Landlord, either terminate all or any existing subtenancies or operate as an assignment to Landlord of any or all of such subtenancies.

      22.13.  Survival of Obligations. Paragraphs 2, 3.2, 4.2, 5.2, 8, 12.1, 12.5, 15.3, 16, 19, 20 and 22 and all obligations of Tenant hereunder not fully performed as of the expiration or earlier termination of the Term shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, including without limitation, all payment obligations with respect to Rent and all obligations concerning the condition of the Premises. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, and prior to Tenant vacating the Premises, Tenant shall pay to Landlord any amount reasonably estimated by Landlord (i) as necessary to perform Tenant's duties under paragraphs 6.1 and 16.1 and put the Premises, including without limitation, all heating and air conditioning systems and equipment therein, in good condition and repair, and (ii) as sufficient to meet Tenant's obligation hereunder for prorated Additional Rent for the year in which the Lease expires or terminates. All such amounts shall be used and held by Landlord for payment of such obligations, with Tenant being liable for any additional costs therefor upon demand by Landlord, or with any excess to be returned to Tenant after all such obligations have been determined and satisfied as the case may be. Any Security Deposit held by Landlord shall be credited against the amounts payable by Tenant under this Paragraph 22.13.

      22.14.  Severability. If any clause or provision of this Lease is illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the Term, the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby, and in lieu of each clause or provision of this Lease that is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, there shall be added as a part of this Lease a clause or provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable clause or provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.

      22.15.  Security Measures. Tenant hereby acknowledges that the Rent payable to Landlord hereunder does not include the cost of guard service or other security measures, and that Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to provide same. Tenant assumes all responsibility for the protection of Tenant, Tenants' Parties and their property from acts of third parties.

      22.16.  Easements. Landlord reserves to itself the right, from time to time, to grant such easements, rights and dedications that Landlord deems necessary or desirable, and to cause the recordation of parcel maps, easement agreements and covenants, conditions and restrictions, so long as such easements, rights, dedications, maps and covenants, conditions and restrictions do not unreasonably interfere with the permitted use of the Premises by Tenant. Tenant shall sign any of the aforementioned documents upon request of Landlord and failure to do so shall constitute an Event of Default of this Lease.

      22.17.  Multiple Parties. If more than one person or entity is named as Tenant herein, the obligations of Tenant hereunder shall be the joint and several responsibility of all persons or entities so named and the signature or verbal agreement (as appropriate) of any one of such persons or entities shall be sufficient to bind all such persons or entities to any consent, waiver, approval, estoppel, statement, amendment to this Lease or other agreement relating to this Lease.

      22.18.  Conflict. Any conflict between the printed provisions of this Lease and any typewritten or handwritten provisions shall be controlled by the typewritten or handwritten provisions.

      22.19.  No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Lease is not intended by either party to confer any benefit on any third party, including without limitation, any broker, finder, or brokerage firm.

      22.20.  Effective Date/Nonbinding Offer. Submission of this Lease for examination or signature by Tenant does not constitute an offer or option for lease, and it is not effective as a lease or otherwise until executed and delivered by both Landlord and Tenant.

      22.21.  Notices. Each provision of this Lease or of any applicable governmental laws, ordinances, regulations and other requirements with reference to the sending, mailing or delivery of any notice or the making of any payment by one party to the other shall be deemed to be complied with when and if the following steps are taken:

              22.21.1  All Rent and other payments required to be made hereunder shall be payable to the applicable party hereto as follows: to Landlord at the address set forth in Item 1 of the Basic Lease Provisions, and to Tenant at the address set forth in Item 2 of the Basic Lease Provisions, or at such other addresses as the parties may have hereafter specified by written notice. All obligations to pay Rent and/or any other amounts under the terms of this Lease shall not be deemed satisfied until such Rent and other amounts have been actually received by the respective party.

20

              22.21.2  Wherever any notice is required or permitted hereunder, such notice shall be in writing. Any notice or document required or permitted to be delivered hereunder shall be deemed to be delivered (i) upon personal delivery; (ii) seventy-two (72) hours after deposit thereof in the United States mail, postage prepaid, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested; (iii) upon confirmation of delivery by Federal Express or other reputable overnight delivery service; or (iv) upon written confirmation of delivery by telegraph, telecopy or other electronic written transmission device; correctly addressed to the parties hereto as follows: if to Tenant, then at the address specified in Item 2 of the Basic Lease Provisions; and if to Landlord, then at the address specified in Item 1 of the Basic Lease Provisions; or at such other address (but no more than one (1) address at a time, except as provided in Paragraph 20.1) as the recipient may theretofore have specified by written notice.

      22.22.  Water, Oil and Mineral Rights. Landlord reserves all right, title or interest in water, oil, gas or other hydrocarbons, other mineral rights and air and development rights, together with the sole and exclusive right of Landlord to sell, lease, assign or otherwise transfer the same, but without any right of Landlord or any such transferee to enter upon the Premises during the Term except as otherwise provided herein.

      22.23.  Confidentiality. Tenant agrees to keep the Lease and its terms, covenants, obligations and conditions strictly confidential and not to disclose such matters to any other landlord, tenant, prospective tenant, or broker; provided, however, Tenant may provide a copy of this Lease to its attorneys, accountants and bankers, and to a non-party solely in conjunction with Tenant's reasonable and good faith effort to secure an assignee or sublessee for the Premises.

      22.24.  Broker's Fees. Tenant represents and warrants that it has dealt with no broker, agent or other person in connection with this transaction and that no broker, agent or other person brought about this transaction, other than the brokerage firm specified in Item 15 of the Basic Lease Provisions, if any, and Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claims, losses, liabilities, demands, costs, expenses or causes of action by any other broker, agent or other person claiming a commission or other form of compensation by virtue of having dealt with Tenant with regard to this leasing transaction.

      22.25.  Remedies Cumulative. All rights, privileges and remedies of the parties are cumulative and not alternative or exclusive to the extent permitted by law, except as otherwise provided herein.

      22.26.  Return of Check. If Tenant's check, given to Landlord in payment of any sum, is returned by the bank for non-payment, Tenant shall pay to Landlord immediately on demand, as Additional Rent, all expenses incurred by Landlord as a result thereof.

      22.27.  Effect of Refund. If Landlord receives payment by Tenant after an Event of Default has occurred, and subsequently returns or refunds such payment to Tenant, such refund shall have the effect of withdrawing Landlord's acceptance of such payment, as if such payment had never been accepted.

      22.28.  No Recordation of Lease. Neither this Lease nor any memorandum hereof may be recorded.

      22.29.  Authority. If Tenant is a corporation or partnership, each individual executing this Lease on behalf of such entity represents and warrants that he or she is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Lease.

      22.30.  Interpretation. This Lease shall be construed fairly according to its terms without regard to which party, or which party's attorneys, prepared its form.

      22.31.  Landlord's Approvals. Except where the provisions of this Lease expressly provide to the contrary, all consents or approvals of Landlord sought or required pursuant to the terms of this Lease shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed.

      22.32.  Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. Tenant hereby waives the right to trial by jury in any action under or related to this Lease.

      22.33.  Omitted.

      22.34.  Landlord's Waivers/Subordinations. In connection with any request for a waiver or subordination of Landlord's or its lender's lien rights on Tenant's personal property, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for its reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in connection with the review of such waiver or subordination agreement in an amount not to exceed One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($1,500.00). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall be under no obligation to execute such a waiver or subordination agreement. Landlord may condition its execution of such waiver or subordination on Tenant depositing with Landlord a Security Deposit (or an increase of any existing Security Deposit). LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. In consideration of the benefits accruing hereunder, Tenant and all successors and assigns covenant and agree that, in the event of any actual or alleged failure, breach or default hereunder by Landlord:

              (a)   the sole and exclusive remedy shall be against Landlord and Landlord's assets;
