ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Development Of The Business

         Fair, Isaac and Company,  Incorporated (NYSE: FIC)("Fair, Isaac" or the
"Company") is a leading  developer of data  management  systems and services for
the  financial   services,   direct   marketing  and  personal  lines  insurance
industries.  The Company  employs  various tools,  such as database  enhancement
software,  predictive modeling,  adaptive control and systems automation to help
its customers make "better decisions through data."

         Established  in 1956,  Fair,  Isaac  pioneered  the credit risk scoring
technologies  now  employed by most major U.S.  consumer  credit  grantors.  Its
rule-based decision management systems,  originally developed to screen consumer
credit  applicants,  are now  routinely  employed  in all  phases of the  credit
account cycle: direct mail solicitation  (credit cards, lines of credit,  etc.),
application  processing,  card  reissuance,  on-line  credit  authorization  and
collection. Although direct comparisons are difficult, management believes Fair,
Isaac ranks first or second in sales of every type of credit management  product
or service it markets,  and that its total sales to the consumer  credit  market
exceed those for similar products by any direct competitor.

         Approximately  48 percent of fiscal 1998  revenues  were  derived  from
usage-priced  products and services marketed through alliances with major credit
bureaus and third-party  credit card  processors.  Sales of decision  management
products  and  services  directly to credit  industry  end-users  accounted  for
approximately 25 percent of revenues.

         In more recent  years Fair,  Isaac has expanded its product and service
offerings,  applying its proven risk/reward modeling  capabilities to automobile
and  home  insurance   underwriting,   small  business  and  mortgage   lending,
telecommunications  and  most  recently,  healthcare.  With the  acquisition  of
DynaMark in December  1992, the Company made its first foray into marketing data
processing  and  database  management,  an area it  considers a prime target for
diversification.  Its strategy in this area is to develop and market an array of
services combining  DynaMark's strengths in warehousing and manipulating complex
consumer  databases  with Fair,  Isaac's  expertise in  predictive  modeling and
decision  systems.  DynaMark  contributed  $49.2  million or 20 percent of Fair,
Isaac's fiscal 1998 revenues.  The Company's  Insurance  business unit generated
revenues  in fiscal  1998 of $9.2  million or 4 percent of  revenues.  In fiscal
l997,  the  Company   recorded  its  first  revenues  from  its  new  Healthcare
Information  business  unit,  and  during  fiscal  1998  derived  revenues  from
providing analytical marketing services to a large pharmaceuticals  manufacturer
to help improve customer relationships and management of prescription compliance
(i.e., a patient's fulfillment of prescriptions and taking them to completion).

         In July 1997 the Company acquired Risk Management Technologies (RMT), a
leading provider of enterprise-wide risk management and performance  measurement
solutions to major financial  institutions  around the world.  This  acquisition
enables the Company to extend its  franchise in providing  data-driven  decision
support  to the  financial  services  industries  beyond  its  current  focus on
individual  customers.  With  RMT's  products  and  services,  the  Company  has
positioned  itself to support an institution's  entire financial risk management
operation,  encompassing both the consumer and enterprise levels. RMT's revenues
in fiscal l998 were $6.2 million,  or 3 percent of the Company's  revenues.  The
Company's  historical  financial  statements  for prior fiscal year periods have
been   restated   to  account   for  the   Company's   merger   with  RMT  on  a
pooling-of-interests basis.

         Fair,  Isaac numbers  hundreds of the world's  leading  credit card and
travel card  issuers,  retail  establishments  and  consumer  lenders  among its
regular customers.  It has enjoyed continuous client  relationships with some of
these companies for nearly 30 years. Through alliances with all three major U.S.
credit  bureaus,  the  Company  also  serves  a  large  and  growing  number  of
middle-market  credit grantors,  primarily by providing direct mail solicitation
screening,  application  scoring and account management  services on a usage-fee
basis. In addition,  some of its newer end-user products,  such as CreditDesk(R)
application  processing software and CrediTable(R)  pooled-data scoring systems,
are designed to meet the needs of relatively small users of scoring systems.

                                       3




         Approximately  17 percent of Fair,  Isaac's  fiscal 1998  revenues came
from sales outside the United States. With its long-standing presence in Western
Europe and Canada and the more recent  establishment of operating bases in Great
Britain,  France,  Germany,  Japan, Mexico and South Africa, the Company is well
positioned  to benefit from the expected  growth in global  credit card issuance
and usage through the balance of the 1990s. In September l997 the Company signed
an agreement with Serasa  Centralizaco de Servicos dos Banco,  Brazil's  largest
credit  reporting  agency,  which will  result in the first  bureau-based  score
delivery service in Brazil.

         Since 1993, Fair,  Isaac's revenues and diluted earnings per share have
increased  at a compound  rate of 30 percent and 35 percent,  respectively.  The
Company  attributes  this growth to rising market demand for credit  scoring and
account management services;  success in increasing its share of the market; and
a gradual  shift in marketing  and pricing  strategy,  from primary  reliance on
direct, end-user sales of customized analytical and software products to ongoing
usage  revenues  from  services  provided  through  credit  bureaus and bankcard
processing agencies.

         During the period since 1990,  while the rate of account  growth in the
U.S.  bankcard  industry  has been  slowing  and many of the  Company's  largest
institutional  clients have merged and  consolidated,  the Company has generated
above-average  growth  in  revenues--even  after  adjusting  for the  effect  of
acquisitions--from   its   bankcard-related   scoring  and  account   management
businesses by deepening its penetration of large banks and other credit issuers.
The  Company  believes  much of its  future  growth  prospects  will rest on its
ability to: (1) develop new, high-value  products,  (2) increase its penetration
of  established or emerging  credit markets  outside the U.S. and Canada and (3)
expand--either  directly  or  through  further   acquisitions--into   relatively
undeveloped  or  underdeveloped  markets for its products and services,  such as
direct marketing,  insurance,  small business lending and healthcare information
management.

Products and Services

         The Company's principal products are statistically derived,  rule-based
analytic  tools  designed  to help  businesses  make better  decisions  on their
customers and  prospective  customers,  and software  systems and  components to
implement these analytic tools. In addition to sales of these products  directly
to end-users,  the Company also makes these  products  available in service mode
through arrangements with credit bureaus and third-party credit card processors.
The  Company's  DynaMark   subsidiary  provides  data  processing  and  database
management  services  to  businesses  engaged  in  direct  marketing.   Its  RMT
subsidiary  provides  management tools to larger,  more sophisticated  financial
institutions for  enterprise-wide,  integrated  financial risk and profitability
management.

         Products  and  services  sold  to the  consumer  credit  industry  have
traditionally accounted for most of the Company's revenues. However, the Company
is actively  promoting its products and services to other segments of the credit
industry,  including  mortgage and small  business  lending;  and to  non-credit
industries,   particularly   personal   lines   insurance,   direct   marketing,
telecommunications and healthcare. Consumer credit accounted for over 73 percent
of the  Company's  revenues  in each of the  three  years  in the  period  ended
September  30,  1998.  Sales to  customers  in the  direct  marketing  business,
including the marketing arms of financial service  businesses,  accounted for 13
to 20  percent  of  revenues  in each of the  three  years in the  period  ended
September 30, 1998.  Revenues from sales to the insurance industry accounted for
3 to 4 percent  of  revenues  in each of the  three  years in the  period  ended
September  30, 1998. In fiscal 1997 the  Company's  recorded the first  revenues
from its new  Healthcare  Information  business  unit,  and during  fiscal  1998
derived  revenues  from  providing  analytical  marketing  services  to a  large
pharmaceuticals   manufacturer  to  help  improve  customer   relationships  and
management  of  prescription   compliance  (i.e.,  a  patient's  fulfillment  of
prescriptions and taking them to completion).

Analytic Products

         The Company's  primary analytic  products are scoring  algorithms (also
called  "scorecards")  which  can be  used in  screening  lists  of  prospective
customers,  evaluating  applicants for credit or insurance and managing existing
credit accounts.  Some of the most common types of scoring algorithms  developed
by the  Company  are  described  below.  Scoring  algorithms  are  developed  by
correlating information available at the time a particular decision is made with
known  performance  at a later date.  Scoring  algorithms  can be  developed  to
predict  the  likelihood  of

                                       4




different  kinds  of  performance  (e.g.,  credit  delinquency,  response  to  a
solicitation,  and  insurance  claims  frequency);  they can be  developed  from
different data sources (e.g.,  credit applications and credit bureau files); and
they can be developed either for a particular user ("custom"  scorecards) or for
many users in a particular industry ("pooled data" or "generic" scorecards).

         Credit Application Scoring Algorithms. First introduced in 1958, Credit
Application  Scoring  Algorithms  are  tools  that  permit  credit  grantors  to
calculate  the risk of lending to individual  applicants.  They are delivered in
the form of a table of numbers,  one for each  possible  answer to each of about
ten to twelve selected predictive questions that are found on the form filled in
by the applicant or on a credit report purchased by the credit grantor. The user
"scores" an applicant by looking in the table for the number associated with the
answers provided about the applicant and calculating their sum. The "score" thus
obtained is compared to a "cutoff  score"  previously  established by the credit
grantor's management to determine whether or not to extend the requested credit.
A significant  proportion of revenues from Credit Application Scoring Algorithms
is derived from sales of new or replacement algorithms to existing users.

         Behavior Scoring  Algorithms.  The Company  pioneered  Behavior Scoring
Algorithms with a research  program in 1969. The first  commercially  successful
products  were  introduced in 1978.  In contrast to Credit  Application  Scoring
Algorithms which deal with credit applicants, Behavior Scoring Algorithms permit
management to define rules for the treatment of existing credit  customers on an
ongoing basis.

         Although  similar in statistical  principle and manner of construction,
Behavior Scoring  Algorithms  differ in several  important  respects from Credit
Application Scoring Algorithms.  First, rather than using an applicant's answers
on a  credit  application  or a credit  report,  the data  used to  determine  a
behavior score come from the customer's  purchase and payment  history with that
credit grantor.  Second,  each customer is scored  monthly,  rather than only at
application  time, and an action is selected each time in response to the score.
Third,  the  available  actions are much more  varied  than  simply  granting or
denying credit to an applicant.  For example,  if an account is delinquent,  the
actions  available  to a  credit  manager  can  include  a simple  message  on a
customer's bill calling attention to the delinquency,  a dunning letter, a phone
call, or a referral to a collection  agency,  with the action to be taken in any
given case to be determined by the customer's behavior score.

         Scores produced by specially  designed Behavior Scoring  Algorithms can
be used to select actions for mailing  promotional  materials to customers,  for
changing the credit  limits  allowed,  for  authorizing  individual  credit card
transactions,  for  taking  various  actions  on  delinquent  accounts  and  for
reissuing credit cards which are about to expire.  Behavior  Scoring  Algorithms
are also components of the Adaptive Control Systems described below.

         Credit  Bureau  Scoring  Services.  The Company also  provides  scoring
algorithms  to each of the three major  automated  credit  bureaus in the United
States based solely on the  information in their files.  Customers of the credit
bureau  can  use  the  scores   derived  from  these   algorithms  to  prescreen
solicitation  candidates,  to evaluate  applicants  for new credit and to review
existing  accounts.  Credit grantors using these services pay based on usage and
the Company and the credit bureau share these usage  revenues.  The  PreScore(R)
service  offered by the Company  combines a license to use such  algorithms  for
prescreening solicitation candidates along with tracking and consulting services
provided by the Company and is priced on a time or usage basis.

         ScoreNet(SM) Service.  The ScoreNet Service, introduced in August 1991,
allows credit grantors to obtain Fair,  Isaac's credit bureau scores and related
data on a regular  basis  and in a format  convenient  for use in their  account
management  programs.  In most cases the account  management  program is a Fair,
Isaac  Adaptive  Control  System or  Adaptive  Control  service at a credit card
processor.  The Company obtains the data from the credit  bureau(s)  selected by
each  subscriber and delivers it to the subscriber in a format  compatible  with
the subscriber's account management system.

         Insurance  Scoring  Algorithms.  The Company has also delivered scoring
systems for  insurance  underwriters  and  marketers.  Such systems use the same
underlying statistical technology as credit scoring systems, but are designed to
predict claim frequency or  profitability  of applicants for personal  insurance
such as  automobile or  homeowners'

                                       5




coverage.  During  fiscal 1993,  the Company  introduced  a Property  Loss Score
("PLS") service in conjunction with Equifax, Inc., a leading provider of data to
insurance  underwriters.  In 1994, the Company  introduced a similar  service in
conjunction  with Trans Union  Corporation  called "ASSIST" which is designed to
predict  automobile  insurance  risk. In 1995,  with Equifax  Inc.,  the Company
introduced a risk prediction score for automobile insurance called Casualty Loss
Score ("CLS") service.  Equifax  subsequently spun off its Insurance Unit, which
is now  Choicepoint.  In  1996,  with  Acxiom,  the  Company  introduced  a risk
prediction score for homeowners' and automobile insurance called InfoScore. PLS,
ASSIST,  CLS and InfoScore are similar to the credit bureau scoring  services in
that a  purchaser  of data from  Choicepoint,  Trans Union or Acxiom can use the
scores to evaluate the risk posed by applicants  for  homeowners'  or automobile
insurance.  The Company and Choicepoint,  Trans Union or Acxiom, as the case may
be, share the usage  revenue  produced by these  services.  Aspects of automated
application  processing systems and Adaptive Control Systems are also applicable
to  insurance  underwriting  decisions.  The Company is actively  marketing  its
products and services to the insurance industry.

         Other Scoring Algorithms.  The Company has developed scoring algorithms
for other users,  which  include  public  utilities  that require  deposits from
selected applicants before starting service, tax authorities that select returns
to be audited,  and mortgage  lenders.  The Company has also  developed  scoring
algorithms  for  use in  selecting  life  insurance  salesmen,  finance  company
managers,  and  prisoners  suitable  for early  release,  although to date these
algorithms have not generated significant revenues.

Automated Strategic Application Processing Systems (ASAP)

         The Company's Automated Strategic Application Processing systems (ASAP)
automate the processing of credit applications,  including the implementation of
the  Company's  Credit  Application  Scoring  Algorithms.   The  Company  offers
Mid-Range  ASAPs which are  stand-alone  assemblies  of hardware  and  software;
Mainframe ASAP, SEARCH,  StrategyWare,(R)  and ScoreWare  consisting of software
for IBM and IBM-compatible mainframe computers; and CreditDesk which consists of
software for personal  computers.  The Company does not expect significant sales
of new Mid-Range  ASAP systems but still  derives  maintenance  and  enhancement
revenues from existing systems.

         The tasks performed by ASAPs include: (i) checking for the completeness
of the data  initially  given  and  printing  an  inquiry  letter in the case of
insufficient  information;  (ii)  checking  whether  an  applicant  is  a  known
perpetrator  of  fraud;  (iii)   electronically   requesting,   receiving,   and
interpreting  a credit  report when it is  economic  to do so; (iv)  assigning a
credit limit to the account, if acceptable, and printing a denial letter if not;
and (v) forwarding the data necessary to originate  billing records for accepted
applicants.

         Mid-Range  ASAP is a  minicomputer-based  system which  carries out the
tasks  listed above in a manner  extensively  "tailored"  to each user's  unique
requirements.  Mainframe ASAP is a software-only package designed to be executed
on IBM or IBM-compatible  mainframe computers.  It is most useful for very large
volume credit grantors who elect to enter application  information from a number
of  separate  locations.  CreditDesk  is  designed  for  use on  stand-alone  or
networked personal  computers.  Although its software functions are not tailored
as extensively as the other versions of ASAP, CreditDesk features an easy-to-use
graphics  interface.  The  Company  also sells  software  components  for IBM or
IBM-compatible   mainframe   computers   under  the   tradenames   "SEARCH"  and
"ScoreWare."  SEARCH acquires and interprets credit bureau reports as a separate
package.   ScoreWare  provides  for  easy  installation  of  credit  application
scorecards and computes  scores from such  scorecards as part of the application
processing sequence.  StrategyWare combines the application  processing features
described "above with the "Champion/Challenger" strategy concept described below
under "Adaptive Control Systems."

         The Company's  Mid-Range and Mainframe ASAP systems are currently being
used in the United States,  Canada,  and Europe by banks,  retailers,  and other
financial institutions.  CreditDesk is being used by over 600 credit grantors in
more  than a dozen  countries.  To  support  these  installations,  the  Company
provides complete hardware and software maintenance, general software support in
the form of consulting, and specific software support by producing enhancements,
as well as other modifications at a user's request.

                                       6




Adaptive Control Systems

         The Company's most advanced product is the Adaptive Control System, now
generally marketed under the tradename "TRIAD".  An Adaptive Control System is a
complex  of  behavior  scoring  algorithms,   computer  software,   and  account
management  strategy  addressed  to one or more aspects of the  management  of a
consumer credit or similar portfolio.  For example, the Company has developed an
Adaptive  Control System for use by an electric utility in the management of its
customer accounts.

         A principal  feature of an  Adaptive  Control  System is  software  for
testing and  evaluation of  alternative  management  strategies,  designated the
"Champion and Challenger  Strategy Software." The "Champion" strategy applied to
any  aspect  of  controlling  a  portfolio  of  accounts  (such  as  determining
collection messages or setting credit limits) is that set of rules considered by
management to be the most  effective at the time. A  "Challenger"  strategy is a
different set of rules which is considered a viable  candidate to outperform the
Champion. The Company's Champion and Challenger Strategy software is tailored to
the  customer's  billing  system and is designed to permit the operation of both
strategies at the same time and also to permit varying fractions of the accounts
to go to each of the competing strategies.  For example, if a Challenger is very
different  from the  Champion,  management  may wish to test it on a very  small
fraction of the accounts, rather than to risk a large loss. Alternatively,  if a
Challenger  appears to be  outperforming a Champion,  management can direct more
and more of the account flow to it. There need not, in fact,  be a limitation on
the number of  Challengers in place at any one time beyond the limits imposed by
the ability of the Company and the user management to study the results.

         A  Champion/Challenger  structure  is  based  on  one  or  more  of the
Company's  component products,  usually Behavior Scoring Algorithms,  as well as
Company-developed  software  that permits  convenient  allocation of accounts to
strategies and convenient  modification of the strategies  themselves.  Adaptive
Control  Systems  can  also  consider  information  external  to the  particular
creditor,  particularly  scores  and  other  information  obtained  from  credit
bureaus, in the design of strategies.  A specific goal of the Company's Adaptive
Control System product is to make the account  management  functions of the user
as  independent  as  possible  of the user's  overall  data  processing  systems
development department.

         For  a  Champion/Challenger  structure  to  function  effectively,  new
Challenger  strategies  must be developed  continually as insight is gained,  as
external  conditions change,  and as management goals are modified.  The Company
often  participates in the design and  development of new Challenger  strategies
and in the evaluation of the results of Champion/Challenger competitions as they
develop.

         Contracts for Adaptive Control Systems for end-users  generally include
multi-year software maintenance,  strategy design and evaluation, and consulting
components.  The Company also provides  Adaptive  Control services through First
Data  Resources,   Inc.  and  Total  System  Services,  Inc.,  the  two  largest
third-party  credit card processors in the United States.  The Adaptive  Control
service is also  available in the United Kingdom  through First Data  Resources,
Ltd. and Bank of Scotland;  in Buenos  Aires,  through  Argencard  S.A.;  and in
Frankfurt,  through B+S Card Service Gmbh.  Credit card issuers  subscribing  to
these  services  pay  monthly  fees based on the number of  accounts  processed.
During fiscal 1996, the Company introduced StrategyWare(R), which is an Adaptive
Control  System  designed  to  apply   Champion/Challenger   principles  to  the
processing  of new credit  accounts,  rather  than the  management  of  existing
accounts. The Company also believes that Adaptive Control Systems can operate in
areas other than consumer credit;  and, as noted above, has provided an Adaptive
Control System to an electric utility company.

DynaMark

         DynaMark provides a variety of data processing and database  management
services to companies and  organizations  in direct  marketing.  DynaMark offers
several proprietary tools in connection with such services including  "DynaLink"
and  "DynaMatch."  DynaLink gives financial  institutions and other users remote
computer  access  to their  "warehoused"  customer  account  files or  marketing
databases. It allows them to perform on-line analyses ranging from profiling the
history of a single  customer  purchase or credit usage to calling up print-outs
of all files

                                       7




having  certain  defined  characteristics  in  common.  DynaMatch  uses a unique
scoring  system to identify  matching or duplicate  records  that most  standard
"merge-purge"  systems would overlook.  Credit managers and direct marketers can
use it to identify  household  relationships  (accounts  registered in different
names,  but  sharing a common  address  and  surname)  and to  eliminate  costly
duplicate  mailings.  Credit  card  issuers  can  use  it  to  spot  potentially
fraudulent  or overlimit  credit card charges by  individuals  using two or more
cards issued under slightly different names or addresses.

Risk Management Technologies

         Risk Management Technologies (RMT) provides management tools to larger,
more sophisticated  financial institutions around the world for enterprise-wide,
integrated financial risk and profitability  management.  Financial institutions
must  constantly  evaluate the effect of interest rate changes and other factors
on their  entire  operation  including  their loan,  credit card and  investment
portfolios,  to determine  bottom line  exposure and potential  revenues.  RMT's
financial  decision  support  software,  the RADAR  System,  is a  comprehensive
enterprise management system that performs asset-liability management,  transfer
pricing,  and  performance  measurement  modeling.  RMT's  Genesis  product is a
graphical data  integration  management tool used to integrate data rapidly from
multiple  legacy  systems and other sources into a  consolidated,  client/server
data warehouse.  Within this warehouse, data remain readily available for use in
multiple decision-support applications.

Healthcare

         The Company is currently providing  analytical  marketing services to a
large  pharmaceuticals  manufacturer to help improve  customer  relationship and
"compliance"  management  using  a  variety  of  techniques  including  internet
communications.  "Compliance" in this instance  refers to whether  prescriptions
are actually  filled and taken to completion.  The Company has also introduced a
receivables management system for hospitals and other healthcare providers.  The
first revenue-generating contract for this product was signed in October 1998.

Customer Service and Support

         The Company  provides service and support to its customers in a variety
of ways.  They include:  (i)  education of liaison teams  appointed by buyers of
scoring algorithms and software;  ( ii) maintenance of an answering service that
responds  to   inquiries  on  minor   technical   questions;   (iii)   proactive
Company-initiated  follow-up  with  purchasers  of the  Company's  products  and
services; (iv) conducting seminars held several times a year in various parts of
the United States and, less often,  in other  countries;  (v) conducting  annual
conferences  for clients in which user  experience is exchanged and new products
are introduced; (vi) delivery of special studies which are related to the use of
the Company's products and services;  and (vii) consulting and training services
provided by the Company's subsidiary,  Credit & Risk Management Associates, Inc.
("CRMA").

         Scoring  algorithms  can  diminish  in  effectiveness  over time as the
population  of applicants  or customers  changes.  Such changes take place for a
variety of reasons, many of which are unknown or poorly understood, but some are
a result of  marketing  strategy  changes or shifts in the national or the local
economy. It is to the user's advantage, therefore, to monitor the performance of
its  algorithms  so that they can be  replaced  when it is economic to do so. In
response to this need as well as the requirement of the Equal Credit Opportunity
Act that scoring  algorithms be  periodically  validated,  the Company  provides
tracking services and software products which measure the continuing performance
of its scoring algorithms while in use by customers.

Technology

         The  Company's  personnel  have a high degree of  expertise  in several
separate   disciplines:    operations   research,    mathematical    statistics,
computer-based systems design, programming and data processing.

         The fundamental principle of operations research is to direct attention
to a  class  of  management  decisions,  to  make a  mathematical  model  of the
situation  surrounding  that class of decisions and to find rules for making the
decisions  which  maximize  achievement  of the  manager's  goal.  The Company's
analytic products are classic

                                       8




examples of this doctrine  reduced to practice.  The entire focus is on decision
making using the best mathematical and computational techniques available.

         The  fundamental  goal of  mathematical  statistics  is to provide  the
method for deriving the maximum amount of useful  information from an undigested
body of data.  The  objective  of the  design of  computer-based  systems  is to
provide a mechanism for efficiently accepting input data from a source,  storing
that  data in a  cost-effective  medium,  operating  on the data  with  reliable
algorithms  and decision rules and reporting  results in readily  comprehensible
forms.

         The   Company's   analytic   products   have  a  clear   distinguishing
characteristic in that they make management by rule possible in situations where
the only alternative is reliance on a group of people whose actions can never be
entirely  consistent.   Rules  for  selecting  actions  require  computation  of
probabilities of results.  But computing the probability of a particular  result
in the traditional  mode, that is, by counting the number of occurrences of each
possible result in all possible  combinations of  circumstances,  clearly breaks
down  when the  number  of  combinations  becomes  very  large.  When only a few
thousand cases of results are available,  more subtle mathematical  methods must
be used. The Company has been actively  developing and using  techniques of this
kind for 42 years, as indicated by the development and continual  enhancement of
its  proprietary  suite of  algorithms  and  computer  programs  used to develop
scoring algorithms.

         The Company's  products must also interface  successfully  with systems
already in place.  For  example,  they must accept data in various  forms and in
various media such as handwritten  applications,  video display  terminal input,
and  telecommunications  messages  from credit  bureaus.  They must also provide
output in diverse  forms and media,  such as video  displays,  printed  reports,
transactions  on magnetic tape and printed  letters.  The Company's  response to
this interface  requirement  has been to develop a staff which is expert in both
logical design of information  systems and the various  computer  languages used
for coding.

Markets and Customers

         The  Company's  products  for use in the area of  consumer  credit  are
marketed to banks, retailers,  finance companies,  oil companies,  credit unions
and credit card  companies.  The  Company  has over 600 users of  products  sold
directly by the Company to end-users.  These include about 75 of the 100 largest
banks  in  the  United   States;   several  of  the  largest  banks  in  Canada;
approximately  40 banks in the United  Kingdom;  more than 70  retailers;  7 oil
companies;  major  travel and  entertainment  card  companies;  and more than 40
finance  companies.  Custom  algorithms  and systems have generally been sold to
larger credit grantors. The scoring, application processing and adaptive control
services offered through credit bureaus and third-party processors are intended,
in part, to extend usage of the Company's  technology to smaller  credit issuers
and the Company  believes  that users of its products  and services  distributed
through third-parties number in the thousands.  As noted above, the Company also
sells its products to utilities,  tax authorities,  and  telecommunications  and
insurance companies.

         DynaMark  markets its services to a wide variety of businesses  engaged
in direct  marketing.  These  include  banks and  insurance  companies,  catalog
merchandisers,  fund-raisers and others.  Most of DynaMark's  revenues come from
direct sales to the end user of its services, but in some cases DynaMark acts as
a subcontractor to advertising  agencies or others managing a particular project
for the end user.  RMT markets to large  financial  institutions  throughout the
world. Its clients are typically large financial  institutions with a wide range
of products,  investments  and  operational  units and a  sophisticated  balance
sheet.

         No  single  end-user  customer  accounted  for  more  than  10%  of the
Company's  revenues in fiscal 1998.  Revenues  generated  through the  Company's
alliances  with the three major credit  bureaus in the United  States,  Equifax,
Experian Information Solutions,  Inc. (formerly known as TRW Information Systems
& Services)  and Trans Union,  each  accounted  for  approximately  seven to ten
percent of the Company's total revenues in fiscal 1998.

         The percentage of revenues  derived from  customers  outside the United
States was  approximately 17 percent in each of fiscal 1998, 1997, and 1996. RMT
derives more than half of its revenues from clients  outside the United  States.
DynaMark  had  virtually no non-U.S. revenues  prior to fiscal 1997.  The United
Kingdom, Japan and Canada

                                       9




are the largest international market segments. Mexico, South Africa, a number of
countries in South America and almost all of the Western European  countries are
represented  in the user base.  The Company has  delivered  products to users in
approximately 60 countries. The information set forth under the caption "Segment
Information" in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements is incorporated
herein by reference.  The  Company's  foreign  offices are  primarily  sales and
customer  service  offices  acting as  agents  on behalf of the U.S.  production
operations.  Net  identifiable  assets,  capital  expenditures  and depreciation
associated with foreign offices are not material.

         The  Company  has  enjoyed  good  relations  with the  majority  of its
customers  over  extended  periods  of time,  and a  substantial  portion of its
revenue is  derived  from  repeat  customers.  As noted  above,  the  Company is
actively  pursuing  new users,  particularly  in the  marketing,  insurance  and
healthcare  fields as well as those  potential users in the consumer credit area
not yet using the Company's products.

Contracts and Backlog

         The  Company's  practice  is  to  enter  into  contracts  with  several
different kinds of payment terms. Scoring algorithms have historically been sold
through  one-time,  fixed-price  contracts.  The Company  will  continue to sell
scoring  algorithms  on this  basis  but  has  also  entered  into  longer  term
contractual  arrangements with some of its largest customers for the delivery of
multiple algorithms.  PC-ASAP ("CreditDesk")  customers have the option to enter
into  contracts  that  provide for a one-time  license  fee or  volume-sensitive
monthly  lease  payments.  The  one-time  and  usage-based  contracts  contain a
provision  requiring  monthly  maintenance  payments.  Mainframe  ASAP contracts
include a one-time  fee for the basic  software  license,  plus monthly fees for
maintenance and enhancement services.  The Company also realizes maintenance and
enhancement revenues from users of its line of Mid-Range ASAP systems.  PreScore
contracts  call for usage or  periodic  license  fees and there is  generally  a
minimum charge.  Contracts for the delivery of complete Adaptive Control Systems
typically  contain both fixed and variable  elements in  recognition of the fact
that they  extend  over  multiple  years and must be  negotiated  in the face of
substantial uncertainties. As noted above, the Company is also providing scoring
algorithms and application processing on a service basis through credit bureaus,
and credit account management services through third-party  bankcard processors.
Subscribers pay for these services and for the ScoreNet  service based on usage.
DynaMark and RMT employ a  combination  of fixed fee and  volume-or  usage-based
pricing for their services.

         As of September 30, 1998,  the Company's  backlog,  which includes only
firm contracts,  was approximately  $68,517,000,  as compared with approximately
$70,168,000 as of September 30, 1997. Most usage-based revenues do not appear as
part of the backlog.  The Company believes that  approximately 25 percent of the
September 30, 1998 backlog will be delivered after the end of the current fiscal
year ending  September 30, 1999. Most DynaMark  contracts  include unit or usage
charges,  the total  amount  of which  cannot  be  determined  until the work is
completed.  DynaMark's and CRMA's backlog are not significant in amount, are not
considered a significant  indicator of future revenues,  and are not included in
the  foregoing  figures.  RMT's  backlog is  included in the  foregoing  backlog
figures.

Competition

         The Company believes that its typical product  development cycle, which
in the past has  extended  as long as ten  years,  has  tended to  moderate  the
Company's  growth  rate.  It also  believes,  however,  that this  long  product
development  lead time provides a barrier to entry of competitive  products.  As
credit  scoring,   automated  application  processing,  and  behavioral  scoring
algorithms,  all of which were  pioneered by the Company,  have become  standard
tools for credit providers,  competition has emerged from five sectors:  scoring
algorithm builders, providers of automated application processing services, data
vendors,  neural network developers and artificial intelligence system builders.
It is likely  that a number of new  entrants  will be  attracted  to the market,
including  both large and small  companies.  Many of the  Company's  present and
potential   competitors  have  substantially   greater  financial,   managerial,
marketing,  and technological  resources than the Company.  The Company believes
that none of its  competitors  offer the same mix of  products  as the  Company.
However certain  competitors may have larger shares of particular  geographic or
product markets. In-house analytic and systems developers are also a significant
source of competition for the Company.

                                       10




         The Company believes that the principal factors  affecting  competition
for scoring  algorithms are product  performance and reliability;  expertise and
knowledge  of the credit  industry;  ability to deliver  algorithms  in a timely
manner;  customer support,  training and documentation;  ongoing  enhancement of
products;  and comprehensiveness of product applications.  It competes with both
outside  suppliers and in-house groups for this business.  The Company's primary
competitor among outside suppliers of scoring  algorithms is Experian,  formerly
known as, C.C.N. Systems Limited ("CCN") of Nottingham, England, a subsidiary of
Great  Universal  Stores plc, a large  British  retailer.  Scores sold by credit
bureaus in  conjunction  with  credit  reports,  including  scores  computed  by
algorithms  developed  by the  Company,  provide  potential  customers  with the
alternative of purchasing scores on a usage-priced basis.

         The Company believes that the principal factors  affecting  competition
in the market for automated  application  processing  systems (such as ASAP) are
the same as those  affecting  scoring  algorithms,  together with  experience in
developing computer software products.  Competitors in this area include outside
computer  service  providers  and in-house  computer  systems  departments.  The
Company believes that its primary competitor in this area is American Management
Systems, Incorporated ("AMS"). AMS also offers credit scoring algorithms.

         The  Company  competes  with data  vendors in the market for its credit
bureau scoring  services  including  PreScore and ScoreNet.  In the past several
years,  data vendors have expanded their  services to include  evaluation of the
raw  data  they  provide.  All of  the  major  credit  bureaus  offer  competing
prescreening  and credit bureau scoring  services  developed,  in some cases, in
conjunction with the Company's  primary scoring  algorithm  competitor,  CCN. In
November  1996  it was  announced  that  CCN  had  agreed  to  acquire  Experian
Information  Solutions,  Inc.  (formerly  known  as TRW  Information  Systems  &
Services). CCN has since been renamed "Experian".

         Both AMS and Experian  offer  products  intended to perform some of the
same functions as the Company's  Adaptive Control Systems.  The Company believes
that customers using its Adaptive Control Systems,  in both custom end-user form
and  through  third-party  processors,  significantly  outnumber  users  of  the
competing AMS and Experian products.

         Another source of emerging  competition comes from companies developing
artificial  intelligence  systems  including those known as "expert systems" and
"neural  networks." An expert system is computer  software that  replicates  the
decision-making  process  of the best  available  human  "experts"  in solving a
particular class of problem, such as credit approval, charge card authorization,
or insurance  underwriting.  Scoring  technology  differs from expert systems in
that scoring  technology is based upon a large  database of results,  from which
rules and  algorithms are developed,  as compared to expert  systems,  which are
typically  based  primarily  on the  "expert's"  judgment  and  less  so  upon a
significant database.  The Company believes its technology is superior to expert
system  technology  where  sufficient  performance  data are  available.  Neural
networks,  on the other hand,  are an alternative  method of developing  scoring
algorithms  from a database but using  mathematical  techniques  quite different
from those used by the Company.  For example,  HNC Software,  Inc. has developed
systems using neural network technology which compete with some of the Company's
products and services.  The Company believes that analytical skill and knowledge
of the business  environment  in which an algorithm  will be used are  generally
more important than the choice of techniques used to develop the algorithm; and,
further,  that the Company has an  advantage  in these areas with respect to its
primary markets as compared with neural network developers.

         There are a large number of companies  providing  data  processing  and
database  management  services in competition  with DynaMark,  some of which are
considerably  larger than  DynaMark.  The Company  believes  the market for such
services will continue to expand rapidly for the foreseeable future. Competition
in this area is based on price,  service,  and,  in some  cases,  ability of the
processor to perform  specialized tasks.  DynaMark has concentrated on providing
specialized  types of data  processing  and database  management  services using
proprietary  tools which,  it believes,  give it an edge over its competition in
these areas.  RMT is a leading provider of  enterprise-wide  risk management and
performance-measurement  solutions to major financial institutions.  There are a
number  of   companies   offering   enterprise-wide   "solutions",   or  serving
sub-segments   of  this  market  (such  as  trading   operations   of  financial
institutions),  in  competition  with RMT. The Company  believes  that no direct
competitor  currently offers the depth and scope of analytical  functionality in
products and services for financial  risk  management  that RMT provides,  which
gives RMT an advantage in this market.

                                       11




Product Protection

         The Company  relies  upon the laws  protecting  trade  secrets and upon
contractual  non-disclosure  safeguards,  including its employee  non-disclosure
agreements and restrictions on  transferability  that are incorporated  into its
customer  agreements,  to protect its software and proprietary  interests in its
product  methodology  and  know-how.   The  Company  currently  has  one  patent
application pending but does not otherwise have patent protection for any of its
programs or algorithms,  nor does it believe that the law of copyrights  affords
any  significant  protection for its proprietary  software.  The Company instead
relies principally upon such factors as the knowledge,  ability,  and experience
of  its  personnel,  new  products,  frequent  product  enhancements,  and  name
recognition  for its  success  and  growth.  The  Company  retains  title to and
protects the suite of algorithms and software used to develop scoring algorithms
as a trade secret and has never distributed its source code.

         In spite of these  precautions,  it may be possible for  competitors or
users to copy or  reproduce  aspects  of the  Company's  software  or to  obtain
information that the Company regards as trade secrets. In addition,  the laws of
some foreign  countries do not protect the Company's  proprietary  rights to the
same extent as do the laws of the United  States.  Due to recent  changes in the
case  law and  Patent  and  Trademark  Office  Guidelines  with  respect  to the
patentability  of  software,  algorithms  and "methods of doing  business,"  the
Company is currently reevaluating the possibility of obtaining patent protection
for certain aspects of its technology.

Research and Development

         Technological  innovation and excellence have been goals of the Company
since its founding.  The Company has devoted, and intends to continue to devote,
significant funds to research and development.  The Company has ongoing projects
for improving its  fundamental  knowledge in the area of algorithm  design,  its
capabilities to produce algorithms  efficiently,  and its ability to specify and
code  algorithm  executing  software.  The  information  set  forth  in the line
entitled "Research and development" in the Consolidated  Statement of Income and
the  information set forth under the caption  "Software  costs" in Note 1 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements is incorporated herein by reference.

         In  addition  to the  projects  formally  designated  as  Research  and
Development,  many of the Company's activities contain a component that produces
new  knowledge.  For  example,  an Adaptive  Control  System,  by its nature and
purpose,  must be designed to match its environment and learn as it operates. In
the areas in which the  Company's  products  are  useful,  the  "laboratory"  is
necessarily the site of the user's operations.

Hardware Manufacturing

         Hardware for the Company's Mid-Range ASAP systems consists primarily of
a Motorola MC  68030-based  central  processing  unit, one or more video display
terminals,  a disk storage unit, and various other  input-output  and peripheral
devices.  The  Company's  manufacturing  process at its San  Rafael,  California
facility involves assembly, testing, and quality assurance functions. Components
and parts used in the  Company's  Mid-Range  ASAP  systems  are  purchased  from
outside  vendors,  and the Company  generally  seeks to use components and parts
that are  available  in  quantity  from a number of  distributors.  The  Company
believes that,  should any of these components  become  unavailable from current
sources,  alternative  sources could be developed.  Hardware  manufacturing  and
enhancements account for less than one percent of total revenue.

Personnel

         As of September  30, 1998,  the Company  employed  approximately  1,487
persons.  None of its employees is covered by a collective  bargaining agreement
and no work stoppages have been experienced.

                                       12




ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

         The Company's  principal  office is located in San Rafael,  California,
approximately 15 miles north of San Francisco.  The Company leases approximately
270,000  square feet of office space in four  buildings at that  location  under
leases expiring in 2000 or later. It also leases approximately 5,884 square feet
of  warehouse  space in San Rafael for its hardware  operations  and for storage
under  month-to-month  leases.  In May 1998 the Company entered into a synthetic
lease agreement for an office complex with approximately  406,000 square feet in
San Rafael, California with an expected initial occupancy date in the year 2001.
DynaMark leases approximately  109,000 square feet of office and data processing
space in three buildings in Arden Hills,  Minnesota under leases which expire in
2012. DynaMark has entered into a lease for a fourth building with approximately
50,407 square feet at the same location,  with an anticipated  occupancy date of
July 1999 and expiring in 2012. DynaMark also leases approximately 25,000 square
feet of office and data processing space in New York City under a lease expiring
in 2004  and  approximately  14,800  square feet for offices  in  Brookings  and
Madison, South Dakota and Shoreview,  Minnesota. RMT leases approximately 14,740
square feet of office space in Berkeley,  California.  The Company also leases a
total of  approximately  47,147  square  feet of  office  space for  offices  in
Baltimore,  Maryland; New Castle, Delaware; Atlanta, Georgia; Chicago, Illinois;
Toronto, Ontario; Birmingham, England; Tokyo, Japan; Paris, France; Mexico City,
Mexico;  Sao Paulo,  Brazil;  Milan,  Italy;  Johannesburg,  South  Africa;  and
Wiesbaden,  Germany. See Notes 5 and 11 in the Consolidated Financial Statements
for information  regarding the Company's  obligations under leases.  The Company
believes that suitable  additional space will be available to accommodate future
needs.

ITEM 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters

         As of May 6, 1996, the Company's  common stock began trading on the New
York Stock  Exchange  under the symbol:  FIC.  Prior to that date, it was traded
over-the-counter on the NASDAQ Stock Market under the symbol:  FICI. At December
7,  1998,  Fair,  Isaac  had 340 holders  of  record of its  common  stock.  The
following table lists the high and low last  transaction  prices for the periods
shown, as reported by the New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ Stock Market.

Dividends

         On May 24, 1995,  Fair,  Isaac  announced a 100 percent stock  dividend
(equivalent  to a  two-for-one  stock split) and its  intention to pay quarterly
dividends of 2 cents per share or 8 cents per year subsequent to issuance of the
stock dividend. Quarterly dividends of that amount were paid throughout the 1997
and 1998 fiscal years. There are no current plans to change the cash dividend or
to issue any further stock dividend.

Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities

         On July 21, 1997,  the Company  acquired all the  outstanding  stock of
RMT, a privately held California  corporation,  pursuant to a merger of a wholly
owned  subsidiary  of the  Company  and RMT in which RMT  became a  wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company (the "Merger").  The number of shares of the Company's
common stock and option equivalents issued by the Company in connection with the
Merger was 1,252,655.

         At the  time  of the  transaction,  the  issuance of the  shares of the
Company's  common stock and the options to purchase the Company  common stock to
the former RMT  security  holders  in the  Merger was not  registered  under the
Securities  Act of 1933,  as amended (the "1933 Act"),  because the  transaction
involved a non-public  offering exempt from  registration  under Section 4(2) of
the 1933 Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

         In July 1996, the Company  purchased  certain assets and liabilities of
Printronic  Corporation of America, Inc.  (Printronic),  a privately held direct
mail computer  processing  company,  and effective at the close of September 30,
1996,  the  Company  acquired  100% of the  stock of  Credit  & Risk  Management
Associates,  Inc. (CRMA), a privately held consulting services company.  Part of
the  consideration  paid for  Printronic  and CRMA  consisted of 84,735  Company
shares of common stock. At the time of each of these transactions,  the issuance
of the shares of the Company's  common stock was  not registered  under the 1933
Act,  because  the  transaction  involved  a  non-public  offering  exempt  from
registration  under  Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act and  Regulation D  promulgated
thereunder.

The financial data for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1994 through 1996 have been restated to reflect the merger, effective July 1997, between Fair, Isaac and Company, Incorporated and Risk Management Technologies which has been accounted for under the pooling-of-interests method. 16 ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Fair, Isaac and Company, Incorporated, provides products and services designed to help a variety of businesses use data to make better decisions on their customers, prospective customers and existing portfolios. The Company's products include statistically derived, rule-based analytical tools, software designed to implement those analytical tools and consulting services to help clients use and track the performance of those tools. The Company also provides a range of credit scoring and credit account management services in conjunction with credit bureaus and credit card processing agencies. Its DynaMark subsidiary provides data processing and database management services to businesses engaged in direct marketing activities, many of which are in the credit and insurance industries. The Company's Risk Management Technologies subsidiary provides enterprise-wide risk management and performance measurement solutions to major financial institutions. The Company is organized into business units that correspond to its principal markets: consumer credit, insurance, direct marketing (DynaMark), enterprise-wide financial risk management (RMT) and a new unit, Healthcare. Sales to the consumer credit industry have traditionally accounted for the bulk of the Company's revenues. Products developed specifically for a single user in this market are generally sold on a fixed-price basis. Such products include application and behavior scoring algorithms (also known as "analytic products" or "scorecards"), credit application processing systems (ASAP(TM) and CreditDesk(R)) and custom credit account management systems, including those marketed under the name TRIAD. Software systems usually also have a component of ongoing maintenance revenue, and CreditDesk systems have also been sold under time- or volume-based price arrangements. Credit scoring and credit account management services sold through credit bureaus and third-party credit card processors are generally priced based on usage. Products sold to the insurance industry are generally priced based on the number of policies in force, subject to contract minimums. DynaMark and RMT employ a combination of fixed-fee and usage-based pricing, and the Healthcare unit intends to employ a combination of fixed-fee and usage-based pricing for its products. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes. In addition to historical information, this report includes certain forward-looking statements regarding events and trends that may affect the Company's future results. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially. Such factors include, but are not limited to, those described in this discussion and analysis. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Revenues The following table sets forth for the fiscal periods indicated (a) the percentage of revenues represented by fixed-price and usage-priced revenues from the Credit business unit, and the percentage of revenues contributed by the DynaMark, RMT, Insurance and Healthcare business units; and (b) the percentage change in revenues within each category from the prior fiscal year. Credit fixed-price revenues include all revenues from custom scorecard, software and consulting projects. Most credit usage revenues are generated through third-party alliances such as those with credit bureaus and third-party credit card processors. In addition, some credit scorecards and software products are licensed under volume-based fee arrangements and these are included in credit usage-priced revenues. 17

Revenues from credit application scoring products increased by 22 percent in fiscal 1997 compared with fiscal 1996, and decreased by 12 percent in fiscal 1998 compared with fiscal 1997. The increase in fiscal 1997 was due primarily to the Company's sales of new products and increased sales of small business loan scoring products. The decrease in revenues in fiscal 1998 reflected the impact of bank consolidations. ASAP revenues increased by 47 percent in fiscal 1997 compared with fiscal 1996, and by 14 percent in fiscal 1998 compared with fiscal 1997, primarily due to increased sales of PC-based ASAP products (CreditDesk) and sales of the StrategyWare(R) decision support system. Revenues from sales of credit account management systems (TRIAD) sold to end-users decreased by 5 percent from fiscal 1996 to fiscal 1997, and increased by 18 percent from fiscal l997 to fiscal l998. The major factor in the decline in revenues in fiscal l997 was a delay in the completion of the next major release of the software. The increase in fiscal 1998 was due primarily to the release of the next version of TRIAD (TRIAD 5.0) in November l997. The Company's high degree of success in penetrating the U.S. bankcard industry with these products has limited, and may continue to limit, the revenue growth in that market. However, the Company has added functionality for the existing base of TRIAD users and is actively marketing TRIAD for other types of credit products and in overseas markets. The Company provides credit risk management consulting services primarily through CRMA, which it acquired in September 1996. CRMA completed its second year as part of the Credit business unit on September 30, l998. CRMA's revenues increased by 62 percent in fiscal l998 compared with fiscal 1997 and comprised approximately 4 percent of the Company's Credit revenues in fiscal 1998 as compared to 3 percent in fiscal l997. Usage revenues are generated primarily by credit scoring services distributed through major credit bureaus and credit account management services distributed through third-party bankcard processors. Revenues from credit bureau-related services increased 22 percent in both fiscal l997 and fiscal 1998 and accounted for approximately 35 percent of revenues in fiscal 1997 and 1998. Revenues from services provided through bankcard processors also increased in each of these years, primarily due to increases in the number of accounts at each of the major processors. Revenues derived from alliances with credit bureaus and credit card processors have accounted for much of the Company's revenue growth in the last three years. While the Company has been very successful in extending or renewing such agreements in the past, and believes it will generally be able to do so in the future, the loss of one or more such alliances or an adverse change in terms could have a significant impact on revenues and operating margin. Revenues generated through the Company's alliances with Equifax, Inc., Experian Information Solutions, Inc., (formerly TRW Information Systems & Services) and Trans Union Corporation each accounted for approximately 8 to 10 percent of the Company's total revenues in fiscal 1996 and 1997, and approximately 7 to 10 percent of the Company's total revenues in fiscal 1998. 18 In 1996 Experian was acquired by CCN Group Ltd., a subsidiary of Great Universal Stores, PLC. CCN is the Company's largest competitor, worldwide, in the area of credit scoring. TRW/Experian has offered scoring products developed by CCN in competition with those of the Company for several years. The acquisition had no apparent impact on the Company's revenues from Experian in fiscal 1997 and l998. On September 30, 1997, amendments to the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act became effective. The Company believes these changes to the federal law regulating credit reporting will be favorable to the Company and its clients. Among other things, the new law expressly permits the use of credit bureau data to prescreen consumers for offers of credit and insurance and allows affiliated companies to share consumer information with each other subject to certain conditions. There is also a seven-year moratorium on new state legislation on certain issues. However, the states remain free to regulate the use of credit bureau data in connection with insurance underwriting. The Company believes enacted or proposed state regulation of the insurance industry has had a negative impact on its efforts to sell insurance risk scores through credit reporting agencies. DynaMark's revenues increased from $21.2 million in fiscal 1996 to $29.8 million in fiscal 1997 and to $49.2 million in fiscal 1998. The increases in DynaMark's revenues (excluding intercompany revenues) were due primarily to increased revenues from customers in the financial services industry. Gross margins for fiscal 1996, 1997 and 1998 were approximately 39, 42 and 51 percent, respectively. Since its acquisition, DynaMark has taken on an increasing share of the mainframe batch processing requirements of the Company's other business units. During each of fiscal 1996 and 1997, such intercompany revenue represented approximately 14 percent of DynaMark's total revenues, and in fiscal 1998 such revenue represented approximately 8 percent of DynaMark's total revenues. Accordingly, DynaMark's externally reported revenues may tend to understate DynaMark's growth and contribution to the Company as a whole. RMT's revenues for fiscal l997 increased by 18 percent compared with fiscal l996, and in fiscal 1998 decreased by 26 percent compared with fiscal 1997, due primarily to the impact of bank consolidations. Increases in insurance revenues for fiscal l998, compared with fiscal 1997, were due to strong growth in both insurance products sold to end-users and in the insurance scoring services offered through consumer reporting agencies. In fiscal 1997, the Company recorded its first revenues from its Healthcare business unit, and during fiscal 1998 derived revenues from providing analytical marketing services to a large pharmaceuticals manufacturer to help improve customer relationships and management of prescription compliance (i.e., a patient's fulfillment of prescriptions and taking them to completion). The Company's revenues derived from clients outside the United States increased from $26.1 million in 1996 to $33.9 million in fiscal l997 and to $42.9 million in fiscal 1998. RMT contributed $4.3 million, $4.6 million and $3.7 million to the Company's non-U.S. revenues for fiscal years 1996, l997 and l998, respectively. DynaMark has not had significant non-U.S. revenues. Sales of software products, including TRIAD and CreditDesk, increased usage of credit bureau scores in Canada, and an increase in the number of accounts using the Company's account management services at credit card processors in Europe and Latin America accounted for most of the increase in international revenues in fiscal 1997 and 1998. Gains or losses due to fluctuations in currency exchange rates have not been significant to date but may become more important if, as expected, the proportion of the Company's revenues denominated in foreign currencies increases in the future. Revenues from software maintenance and consulting services each accounted for less than 10 percent of revenues in each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 1998, and the Company does not expect revenues from either of these sources to exceed 10 percent of revenues in the foreseeable future. During the period since 1990, while the rate of account growth in the U.S. bankcard industry has been slowing and many of the Company's largest institutional clients have merged and consolidated, the Company has generated above-average growth in revenues--even after adjusting for the effect of acquisitions--from its bankcard-related scoring and account management business by deepening its penetration of large banks and other credit issuers. The Company believes much of its future growth prospects will rest on its ability to: (a) develop new, high-value products, (b) increase its penetration of established or emerging credit markets outside the U.S. and Canada and (c) expand--either directly or through further acquisitions--into relatively undeveloped or underdeveloped markets for its products and services, such as direct marketing, insurance, small business lending and healthcare information 19 management. During fiscal 1998, the Company's backlog of orders for fixed-priced products declined slightly. This indicates that revenue growth in fiscal 1999 and later years may depend to a large extent on sales of newly developed products. Over the long term, in addition to the factors discussed above, the Company's rate of revenue growth--excluding growth due to acquisitions--is limited by the rate at which it can recruit and absorb additional professional staff. Management believes this constraint will continue to exist indefinitely. On the other hand, despite the high penetration the Company has already achieved in certain markets, the opportunities for application of its core competencies are much greater than it can pursue. Thus, the Company believes it can continue to grow revenues, within the personnel constraint, for the foreseeable future. At times management may forego short-term revenue growth in order to devote limited resources to opportunities that it believes have exceptional long-term potential. This occurred in the period from 1988 through 1990, when the Company devoted significant resources to developing the usage-priced services distributed through credit bureaus and third-party processors. Expenses The following table sets forth for the fiscal periods indicated: (a) the percentage of net revenues represented by certain line items in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income and (b) the percentage change in the amount of each such line item from the prior fiscal year.

Cost of revenues Cost of revenues consists primarily of personnel, travel and related overhead costs; costs of computer service bureaus; and the amounts paid by the Company to credit bureaus for scores and related information in connection with the ScoreNet(R) Service. Cost of revenues, as a percentage of revenues, declined slightly in the periods from fiscal l996 to fiscal 1997 and from fiscal l997 to fiscal 1998. The decrease in both fiscal l997 and fiscal 1998 was due primarily to the reassignment to research and development activities of certain personnel whose primary assignment had been production and delivery. 20 Sales and marketing Sales and marketing expenses consist principally of personnel, travel, overhead, advertising and other promotional expenses. As a percentage of revenues, sales and marketing expenses decreased in fiscal 1997 compared with fiscal 1996 due primarily to a reduction in media advertising and remained essentially unchanged from fiscal 1997 to fiscal 1998. Research and development Research and development expenses include the personnel and related overhead costs incurred in product development, researching mathematical and statistical algorithms and developing software tools that are aimed at improving productivity and management control. Research and development increased sharply from fiscal l996 to fiscal 1997 and from fiscal 1997 to fiscal 1998. After several years of concentrating on developing new markets--either geographically or by industry--for its existing technologies, in fiscal 1996 and fiscal l997 the Company renewed its historical emphasis on developing new technologies, especially in the area of software development. In fiscal 1998, the Company continued to emphasize development of new technologies. Research and development expenditures in fiscal 1998 were primarily related to new bankruptcy scoring products for Visa (Integrated Solutions Concepts) and Trans Union, new fraud-detection software products, joint product development projects with Deluxe Financial Services, Inc., healthcare receivables management and Year 2000 compliance work. General and administrative General and administrative expenses consist mainly of compensation expenses for certain senior management, corporate facilities expenses, the costs of administering certain benefit plans, legal expenses, expenses associated with the exploration of new business opportunities and the costs of operating administrative functions, such as finance and computer information systems. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were essentially unchanged for fiscal l996, l997 and l998. Amortization of intangibles The Company is amortizing the intangible assets arising from various acquisitions over periods ranging from 2 to 15 years. The level of amortization expense in future years will depend, in part, on the amount of additional payments to the former shareholders of CRMA, a privately held company acquired at the end of fiscal l996. See below, under "Capital Resources and Liquidity." Other income (expense) The table in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements presents the detail of other income and expenses. Interest income is derived from the investment of funds surplus to the Company's immediate operating requirements. At September 30, 1998, the Company had approximately $46.5 million invested in U.S. treasury securities and other interest-bearing instruments. Interest income increased in both fiscal 1997 and 1998 due to higher average cash balances in interest-bearing accounts and instruments. The Company's share of operating losses in certain early-stage development companies that are accounted for using the equity method is charged to other expense. During the fiscal year ended September 30, l997, the Company wrote off non-marketable investments with an equity basis of $773,000, primarily related to an Italian start-up venture that was adversely affected by a new privacy law. In fiscal year ended September 30, 1998, the Company liquidated its share of this non-marketable security resulting in a gain of $165,000 and has no further financial commitments in connection with this investment. Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements describes the Company's investment in such companies. In fiscal 1998, the difference between the increase in operating income (7 percent) and the increase in net income (18 percent) was primarily due to the interest income derived from investments in U.S. treasury securities and other interest-bearing instruments, and the absence of losses from investments in start-ups. 21 Provision for income taxes The Company's effective tax rate was 39.3, 41.8 and 42.2 percent in fiscal l996, 1997 and l998, respectively. The increase to 42.2 percent in fiscal 1998 was due primarily to the nondeductible nature of goodwill, deferred compensation and an increase in the effective state tax rate. The Company expects its effective tax rate in fiscal 1999 to be approximately 42 percent, barring any change in the tax laws. Capital Resources and Liquidity Working capital increased from $34,699,000 at September 30, 1996, to $47,727,000 at September 30, l997, and to $54,852,000 at September 30, 1998. The increase in fiscal 1997 was due primarily to increases in accounts receivable and unbilled work in progress, which more than offset the increase in accrued compensation and employee benefits and the decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets. The increase in fiscal 1998 was due primarily to increases in short-term investments, unbilled work in progress and accounts receivable, which more than offset the increase in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities and accrued compensation and employee benefits. The Company's exposure to collection risks is comprised of the sum of accounts receivable plus unbilled work in progress, less billings in excess of earned revenues. Changes in contract terms and product mix, along with variations in timing, may cause fluctuations in any or all of these items. During fiscal 1997, the increases in accounts receivable and billings in excess of earned revenues were proportional to the increase in revenues. The greater increase in unbilled work in progress was due primarily to changes in product mix and contract terms. During fiscal 1998, the increase in accounts receivable was proportionally much less than the increase in revenues due to improved collection efforts by the Company, and the increases in unbilled work in progress and billings in excess of earned revenues were proportional to the increase in revenues. The Company capitalized $45,000 as goodwill relating to amounts due to the former stockholders of CRMA under the CRMA purchase agreement based upon its financial results in fiscal 1997, and has capitalized $263,000 based upon CRMA's financial results in fiscal 1998. An additional payment to the former stockholders of CRMA based upon CRMA's financial results in fiscal 1999 may also be required. That amount, which will be paid 55 percent in Company stock and 45 percent in cash, will not exceed $1,833,000. In fiscal 1997, cash provided by operations resulted primarily from net income before depreciation and amortization, decreases in prepaid expenses and other assets and increases in accrued compensation and employee benefits, partially offset by the increase in accounts receivable and unbilled work in progress. Cash was used in investing activities primarily for additions to property and equipment and the purchase of interest-bearing investments, partially offset by the maturities of interest-bearing investments. Cash was used in financing activities for the payment of dividends, reduction of capital lease obligations and repurchase of Company stock, partially offset by cash generated by the exercise of stock options. In fiscal 1998, cash provided by operations resulted primarily from net income before depreciation and amortization, and increases in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities and accrued compensation and employee benefits, partially offset by the increases in accounts receivable, other assets and unbilled work in progress. Cash was used in investing activities primarily for additions to property and equipment, and purchases of interest-bearing investments, partially offset by the maturities of interest-bearing investments. Cash was provided by financing activities primarily from the exercise of stock options, partially offset by cash used for the payment of dividends and the reduction of capital lease obligations. Future cash flows will continue to be affected by operating results, contractual billing terms and collections, investment decisions and dividend payments, if any. At September 30, 1998, the Company had no significant capital commitments other than those obligations described in Notes 2, 5 and 11 of the Consolidated Financial Statements. On December 1, 1997, the Company purchased undeveloped land in San Rafael, California, with the intention of constructing an office complex to accommodate future growth. Development has commenced, and on May 15, 1998, the Company entered into a synthetic lease arrangement, which will materially increase the Company's future operating lease expenses. Rental payments will commence upon completion of construction, which is expected to 22 occur in the second quarter of fiscal 2001. With this external financing, the Company believes that the cash and marketable securities on hand, along with cash expected to be generated by operations, will be adequate to meet its capital and liquidity needs for both the current year and the foreseeable future. Year 2000 The Company is performing Year 2000 remediation work and compliance testing on its software products marketed to customers. The updated versions of most of its software products currently being shipped to customers are Year 2000 compliant. Certain international versions of the Company's software products are not yet Year 2000 compliant, but the Company expects to be prepared to ship upgrade "patches" for these products by the end of calendar 1998. Year 2000 remediation work, including compliance testing, for most earlier versions of the Company's software installed at customer sites will be performed as part of the Company's normal upgrade and maintenance process. Prior to the end of calendar 1999, the Company will discontinue support for some software products that have been replaced by other products, and Year 2000 upgrades for these products will not be available. Revenues from such products are not significant. There are no assurances that the Company's current products do not contain undetected errors or defects associated with Year 2000 date functions that may result in material costs to the Company. However, the Company currently does not expect significant disruption of its revenues or operations from the Year 2000 issues associated with its products. The Company has not made an assessment of the potential impact of failing to complete its own Year 2000 remediation work nor has it developed any contingency plans for such an event. Additionally, the Company has substantially completed its Year 2000 inventory and assessment of internal information technology (IT) and non-IT systems and applications and expects all major internal systems to be fully compliant by the end of December 1998. The Company has determined that the majority of its internally developed systems are Year 2000 compliant. All applications supplied to Company by third parties are either Year 2000 compliant today or have "patches" currently available to bring them into compliance. Extensive compliance testing has commenced and will continue through most of the calendar year 1999. The most reasonably likely worst-case scenarios would include: (a) corruption of data contained in the Company's internal information systems, and (b) hardware/operating system failure. The Company is in the process of completing its contingency plans for business-critical IT and non-IT internal systems as an extension of its existing disaster recovery plan and expects to complete such planning by June 30, 1999. The Company estimates that the costs of Year 2000 remediation (including compliance testing) for its products and internal systems will be in the range of $4 million to $5 million. Approximately two-thirds of these estimated costs have been expended as of September 30, 1998. These costs principally consist of both internal staff costs and expenses for external consultants, software and hardware, which have been or will be expensed by the Company during the period they are incurred. Expected costs for the Year 2000 remediation work (including compliance testing) and projected completion dates are based on the Company's management's estimates and assumptions and actual results may vary materially from those anticipated. The Company has also initiated communications with third parties on which it is dependent for essential services and for the distribution of its significant services to determine how they are addressing Year 2000 issues and to evaluate any impact on the Company's operations. The Company is working with these third parties to resolve Year 2000 issues and information received to date indicates that these parties are in the process of implementing and/or testing remediation strategies to ensure Year 2000 compliance of systems, services and/or products. However, the lack of resolution of Year 2000 issues by these parties--especially the credit bureaus and credit card processors through which the Company distributes credit scoring and account management services--could have a material adverse impact on the Company's future business operations, financial condition and results of operations. The Company anticipates that the most reasonably likely worst-case scenarios involving third-party Year 2000 issues would include: (a) failure of infrastructure services provided by government agencies and third parties (e.g., transportation, electricity, telephone, Internet services, etc.) and (b) failure of one or more of the credit bureaus or credit card processors through which the Company distributes its credit scoring and account management services to achieve timely and successful Year 2000 compliance. Contingency plans to address these most reasonably likely 23 worst-case scenarios are under development and are expected to be completed by June 30, 1999. At this time the Company cannot quantify the potential impact of third-party Year 2000 issues. The foregoing information and statements regarding the Company's Year 2000 capabilities and readiness are "Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosures" in conformance with the Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act of 1998 enacted on October 19, 1998. European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) Under the European Union's plan for Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), the euro becomes the sole accounting currency of EMU countries on January 1, 2002. Its initial phase goes into effect on January 1, 1999, in 11 participating countries: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain. In this initial phase the EMU mandates that key financial systems be able to triangulate conversion rates so that any amount booked will be logged and processed simultaneously in both the local currency and euros. The Company believes that its computer systems and programs are euro-compliant. Costs associated with compliance were not material and were expensed by the Company as they were incurred. Quarterly Results The table in Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements presents unaudited quarterly operating results for the last eight fiscal quarters. Management believes that all the necessary adjustments have been included in the amounts stated to present fairly the selected quarterly information, when read in conjunction with the financial statements included elsewhere in this report. This information includes all normal recurring adjustments that the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation thereof, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Quarterly results may be affected by fluctuations in revenue associated with credit card solicitations, by the timing of orders for and deliveries of certain ASAP and TRIAD systems and by the seasonality of ScoreNet purchases. With the exception of the cost of ScoreNet data purchased by the Company, most of its operating expenses are not affected by short-term fluctuations in revenues; thus, short-term fluctuations in revenues may have a significant impact on operating results. However, in recent years these fluctuations were generally offset by the strong growth in revenues from services delivered through credit bureaus and third-party bankcard processors. Management believes that neither the quarterly variations in net revenues and net income nor the results of operations for any particular quarter are necessarily indicative of results of operations for full fiscal years. Accordingly, management believes that the Company's results should be evaluated on an annual basis. ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk Market Risk Disclosures. The following discussion about the Company's market risk disclosures involves forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. The Company is exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and equity security price risk. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Interest Rate Sensitivity. The Company maintains a short-term investment portfolio consisting mainly of income securities with an average maturity of less than one year. These available-for-sale securities are subject to interest rate risk and will fall in value if market interest rates increase. If market interest rates were to increase immediately and uniformly by 10 percent from levels at September 30, 1998, the fair value of the portfolio would decline by an immaterial amount. The Company has the ability to hold its fixed income investments until maturity, and therefore the Company would not expect its operating results or cash flows to be affected to any significant degree by the effect of a sudden change in market interest rates on its securities portfolio. The Company believes foreign currency and equity risk is not material. 24 ITEM 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS The Board of Directors Fair, Isaac and Company, Incorporated: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Fair, Isaac and Company, Incorporated, and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1998 and 1997, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended September 30, 1998. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Fair, Isaac and Company, Incorporated, and subsidiaries as of September 30, 1998 and 1997, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended September 30, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

29 NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 1. Nature of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of business Fair, Isaac and Company, Incorporated, (the "Company") is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company offers a variety of technological tools to enable users to make better decisions through data. The Company is a world leader in developing predictive and risk assessment models for the financial services industry, including credit and insurance scoring algorithms. The Company also offers direct marketing and database management services, and enterprise-wide risk management and performance measurement solutions to major financial institutions through its wholly owned subsidiaries, DynaMark, Inc. (DynaMark) and Risk Management Technologies (RMT), respectively. Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash in banks and investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less at time of purchase. Investments Investments in U.S. government obligations and marketable equity securities are classified as "available-for-sale" and carried at market. Investments in 50% or less owned companies in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence are accounted for using the equity method and are classified as non-marketable securities. Other investments are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable method and are classified as non-marketable securities. Investments classified as available-for-sale securities with remaining maturities over one year and non-marketable securities are classified as long-term investments. Credit and market risk The Company invests a portion of its excess cash in U.S. government obligations and has established guidelines relative to diversification and maturities that maintain safety and liquidity. In addition, an allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained at a level which management believes is sufficient to cover potential credit losses for accounts receivable. Actual losses have been within management's expectations. Depreciation and amortization Depreciation and amortization on property and equipment including leasehold improvements and capitalized leases are provided using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from three to ten years or the term of the respective leases. 30 Revenue recognition Revenues from contracts for the development of credit scoring systems and custom software are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting based upon milestones that are defined using management's estimates of costs incurred at various stages of the project as compared to total estimated project costs. Revenues determined by the percentage-of-completion method in excess of contract billings are recorded as unbilled work in progress. Such amounts are generally billable upon reaching certain performance milestones that are defined by the individual contracts. Deposits billed and received in advance of performance under contracts are recorded as billings in excess of earned revenues. Revenues from usage-priced products and services are recognized on receipt of usage reports from the third parties through which such products and services are delivered. Amounts due under such arrangements are recorded as unbilled work in progress until collected. Revenues from non-customized software licenses and shrink-wrapped products are recognized upon delivery of product and services, or license renewal. Revenues from products and services sold on time-based pricing, including maintenance of computer and software systems, are recognized ratably over the contract period. Software costs The Company follows one of two paths to develop software. One involves a detailed program design, which is used when introducing new technology; the other involves the creation of a working model for modification to existing technologies that has been supported by adequate testing. All costs incurred prior to the resolution of unproven functionality and features, including new technologies, are expensed as research and development. After the uncertainties have been tested and the development issues have been resolved, technological feasibility is achieved and subsequent costs such as coding, debugging and testing are capitalized. When developing software using existing technology, the costs incurred prior to the completion of a working model are expensed. Once the product design is met, this typically concludes the software development process and is usually the point at which technological feasibility is established. Subsequent expenses, including coding and testing, if any, are capitalized. For the three-year period ending September 30, 1998, technological feasibility coincided with the completion process; thus, all design and development costs were expensed as research and development costs. Purchased software costs are amortized over three to five years. For the years ended September 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996, amortization of capitalized software was $528,000, $808,000 and $248,000, respectively. At September 30, 1998 and 1997, unamortized purchased computer software costs were $6,508,000 and $1,221,000, respectively. Intangibles The intangible assets consisting of goodwill and non-compete agreements arose principally from business acquisitions and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of expected benefit, which ranges from 2 to 15 years. The Company assesses the recoverability of goodwill by evaluating the undiscounted projected results of operations over the remaining amortization period. Income taxes Income taxes are recognized during the year in which transactions enter into the determination of financial statement income, with deferred taxes being provided for temporary differences between amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and such amounts as measured by tax laws. 31 Foreign currency The Company has determined that the functional currency of each foreign operation is the local currency. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, while revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the period. Translation adjustments are accumulated as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Earnings per share Diluted earnings per share are based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and common stock equivalent shares. Common stock equivalent shares result from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options that have a dilutive effect when applying the treasury stock method. Basic earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common stock shares outstanding. Accounting pronouncements In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income." SFAS No. 130 established standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components in financial statements. This statement requires that all items which are required to be recognized under accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. Comprehensive income is equal to net income plus the change in "other comprehensive income." SFAS No. 130 requires that an entity: (a) classify items of other comprehensive income by their nature in a financial statement, and (b) report the accumulated balance of other comprehensive income separately from common stock and retained earnings in the equity section of the balance sheet. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Beginning with the first quarter of 1999, management intends to conform its consolidated financial statements to this pronouncement. In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." This statement establishes standards for publicly held entities to follow in reporting information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those entities report selected information about operating segments in interim financial statements. This statement also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Beginning with fiscal year 1999, management intends to conform its annual consolidated financial statements to this pronouncement. In October 1997, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) issued Statement of Position (SOP) No. 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition," which supersedes SOP 91-1. The Company will be required to adopt SOP 97-2 for software transactions entered into beginning October 1, 1998, and retroactive application to years prior to adoption is prohibited. SOP 97-2 generally requires revenue earned on software arrangements involving multiple elements (e.g., software products, upgrades/enhancements, postcontract customer support, installation, training, etc.) to be allocated to each element based on the relative fair values of the elements. The fair value of an element must be based on evidence, which is specific to the vendor. The revenue allocated to software products (including specified upgrades/enhancements) generally is recognized upon delivery of the products. The revenue allocated to postcontract customer support generally is recognized ratably over the term of the support and revenue allocated to service elements (such as training and installation) generally is recognized as the services are performed. If a vendor does not have evidence of the fair value for all elements in a multiple-element arrangement, all revenue from the arrangement is deferred until such evidence exists or until all elements are delivered. The Company's management believes that the adoption of SOP 97-2 will not have a material impact on the Company's results of operations. Beginning with fiscal year 1999, management intends to conform its consolidated financial statements to this pronouncement. In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosure about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits." The statement standardizes the disclosure requirements for pension and other 32 postretirement benefits. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the disclosure. Beginning with fiscal year 1999, management intends to conform its consolidated financial statements to this pronouncement. In March 1998, the AICPA issued SOP No. 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use." The SOP requires that certain costs related to the development or purchase of internal-use software be capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful life of the software. The SOP also requires that costs related to the preliminary project stage and the post-implementation/operations stage of an internal-use computer software development project be expensed as incurred. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1998. Beginning with fiscal year 2000, management intends to conform its consolidated financial statements to this pronouncement. Fair value of financial instruments The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable are approximately equal to their carrying amounts because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair values of the Company's investment securities are disclosed in Note 4. 2. Mergers and Acquisitions In July 1997, the Company issued 1,252,665 shares of its common stock (including 544,218 shares underlying options assumed by the Company) in connection with the merger with RMT. The acquisition has been accounted for under the pooling-of-interests method. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been restated for all prior periods to include RMT. Further, all common share and per share data have been restated for prior periods. For the pre-merger periods indicated, revenues and net income of the Company and RMT are as follows: Nine-months ended June 30, 1997 Year ended (dollars in thousands) Unaudited September 30, 1996 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenues Fair, Isaac and Company, Incorporated $137,031 $148,749 Risk Management Technologies 5,746 7,164 -------- -------- $142,777 $155,913 ======== ======== Net Income Fair, Isaac and Company, Incorporated $ 13,732 $ 16,179 Risk Management Technologies 630 1,244 -------- -------- $ 14,362 $ 17,423 ======== ======== RMT previously used the fiscal year ended December 31 for its financial reporting. RMT's operating results for the year ended December 31, 1996, are included in the accompanying statement of income in the column headed September 30, 1996. The statement of income's comparative 1997 results reflect the operations of the Company and RMT for the year ended September 30, 1997. Accordingly, the duplication of RMT's net income, for the three months ended December 31, 1996, has been adjusted by a $214,000 charge to retained earnings in fiscal 1997. In July 1996, the Company purchased certain assets and liabilities of Printronic Corporation of America, Inc. (Printronic), a privately held direct mail computer processing company, and effective at the close of September 30, 1996, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of Credit & Risk Management Associates, Inc. (CRMA), a privately held consulting services company. 33 The consideration paid for Printronic and CRMA consisted of 84,735 Company shares valued at $3,572,000 plus $1,697,000 in cash. Both acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases. The results of operations of Printronic have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date; no results of operations for CRMA are included in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 1996. The purchase price for each acquisition was allocated based on estimated fair values at the dates of acquisition. The excess of the purchase prices over the fair value of net assets or liabilities was $5,547,000 and has been recorded as goodwill, which will be amortized on a straight-line basis over 7 or 15 years. The CRMA purchase agreement provides for additional contingent cash and Company stock payments to the former CRMA shareholders not to exceed $5,499,000 based on specified financial performance of CRMA through September 1999. For the years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, an additional $265,000 and $45,000, respectively, were capitalized as goodwill relating to the additional contingent cash and Company stock payments. Pro forma unaudited consolidated operating results of the Company, Printronic and CRMA for the years ended September 30, 1996, assuming the acquisitions had been made as of October 1, 1995, are summarized below. Pro forma summary (unaudited) Year ended September 30, (dollars in thousands except per share data) 1996 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revenue $ 162,491 Net income $ 17,495 Earnings per share: Diluted $ 1.25 Basic $ 1.32 These pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes only and include certain adjustments such as additional amortization expense as a result of goodwill and other intangible assets. They do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations that actually would have resulted had the combinations been in effect on October 1, 1995, or of future results of operations of the consolidated entities. 3.

The long-term U.S. government obligations mature in one to five years. For the year ended September 30, 1997, a non-marketable investment with an equity basis of $773,000 in an overseas start-up venture, principally an Italian credit reporting agency, was written off due to the potential negative impact on the agency's operations from a new Italian privacy law. During the year ended September 30, 1998, the Company liquidated its share of this non-marketable security for a gain of $165,000. The Company does not have any further financial commitments with respect to this investment. The Company also recognized its equity share of losses from this Italian venture of $2,082,000 and $821,000 for the years ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. For the year ended September 30, 1996, an investment of $1,535,000 in the non-marketable preferred stock of an early-stage enterprise was written off due to the deteriorating financial condition of the entity. The Company does not have any further financial commitments with respect to the investment. 5.

Income Taxes The provision for income taxes consists of the following: Years ended September 30, (dollars in thousands) 1998 1997 1996 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current: Federal $ 17,380 $ 14,685 $ 9,026 State 3,967 2,863 1,901 Foreign 240 136 270 -------- -------- -------- 21,587 17,684 11,197 -------- -------- -------- Deferred: Federal (3,152) (2,400) 183 State (657) (424) (99) -------- -------- -------- (3,809) (2,824) 84 -------- -------- -------- $ 17,778 $ 14,860 $ 11,281 ======== ======== ======== Amounts for the current year are based upon estimates and assumptions as of the date of this report and could vary significantly from amounts shown on the tax returns as filed. 36 The tax effect of significant temporary differences resulting in deferred tax assets at September 30, 1998 and 1997, are as follows: (dollars in thousands) 1998 1997 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deferred tax assets: Depreciation and amortization $ 2,350 $ 2,637 Customer advances 2,198 -- Employee benefit plans 1,594 280 Deferred compensation 1,489 2,042 Compensated absences 1,455 1,070 State taxes 1,388 1,007 Capital loss carryforward 1,245 1,530 Bad debt provision 464 283 Capital lease obligations 197 201 Warranty reserves 140 26 Other 630 103 -------- -------- 13,150 9,179 Less valuation allowance (1,245) (1,083) -------- -------- 11,905 8,096 Deferred tax liabilities: Tax on net unrealized gains on available-for-sale securities (491) (210) -------- -------- Deferred tax assets, net $ 11,414 $ 7,886 ======== ======== The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets at September 30, 1998 and 1997, was $1,245,000 and $1,083,000, respectively. The valuation allowance was needed to reduce the deferred tax assets since the Company does not meet the more-likely-than-not requirement for utilization of the capital loss carry forward. A reconciliation between the federal statutory income tax rate and the Company's effective tax rate is shown below:

37 8. Employee Benefit Plans Pension plan The Company has a defined benefit pension plan that covers eligible full-time employees. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee's compensation during employment. Contributions are intended to provide not only for benefits attributed to service to date but also for those expected to be earned in the future. The following table sets forth the plan's funding status at September 30, 1998 and 1997:
(dollars in thousands) 1998 1997 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vested benefit obligation $ 9,524 $ 7,578 Nonvested benefit obligation 1,457 479 Effect of projected future earnings 5,877 3,710 -------- -------- Projected benefit obligation 16,858 11,767 Fair value of plan assets (10,413) (10,266) -------- -------- Projected benefit obligation in excess of plan assets 6,445 1,501 Unrecognized prior service cost 59 68 Unrecognized net loss (5,895) (2,692) Unrecognized net obligation remaining to be amortized (138) (158) Additional minimum liability 97 -- -------- -------- (Prepaid) accrued pension cost $ 568 $ (1,281) ======== ========
The plan assets consist primarily of U.S. government and marketable equity securities. The projected benefit obligation includes an accumulated benefit obligation of $10,981,000 and $8,057,000 at September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The projected benefit obligation exceeded the fair value of the pension plan assets for the years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The weighted average discount rate and rate of increase in future compensation levels used in determining the actuarial present value of the projected benefit obligation were 6.5% and 4.0%, respectively, at September 30, 1998, and 7.5% and 5.0%, respectively, at September 30, 1997. The expected long-term rate of return on assets was 8.5% at September 30, 1998 and 1997. The net pension cost for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, included the following components: (dollars in thousands) 1998 1997 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Service costs $ 1,516 $ 1,011 Interest cost on projected benefit obligation 943 745 Actual return on plan assets (840) (2,050) Net amortization and deferral 132 1,502 ------- ------- Net periodic pension plan cost $ 1,751 $ 1,208 ======= ======= 38 Employee stock ownership plan The Company has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) that covers eligible full-time employees. Contributions to the ESOP are determined annually by the Company's Board of Directors. In addition, the ESOP may purchase stock from the Company or its stockholders. Provisions for contributions to the ESOP were $1,803,000, $1,534,000 and $1,445,000 for the years ended September 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. At September 30, 1998 and 1997, the ESOP held 835,693 and 970,566 shares of Company stock, respectively. The amount of dividends on ESOP shares were $75,212, $81,000 and $94,000 for the years ended September 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Company stock held and paid for by the ESOP is allocated annually to participants based on employee compensation levels. While employed by the Company, participants vest in the allocated shares at rates ranging from 0% to 30% over a period of 1 to 7 years until fully vested, depending on the plan. Defined contribution plans The Company offers 401(k) plans for eligible employees. Eligible employees may contribute up to 15% of compensation. The Company provides a matching contribution, which either vests immediately or over five years, depending on the plan. The Company contributions to 401(k) plans were $790,000, $673,000 and $470,000 for the years ended September 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. In addition, the Company maintains a supplemental retirement and savings plan for certain officers and senior management employees. Company contributions to that plan were $247,000, $132,000 and $104,000 for the years ended September 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Officers' incentive plan The Company has an executive compensation plan for the benefit of officers. Benefits are payable based on the achievement of financial and performance objectives, which are set annually by the Board of Directors, and the market value of the Company's stock. Total expenses under the plan were $3,273,000, $3,842,000 and $3,560,000 for the years ended September 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The incentive earned each year is paid 50% currently, and the balance is payable over a four-year period, subject to certain adjustments, as defined in the plan, based on employment status and the market value of the Company's common stock. At September 30, 1998 and 1997, the long-term officers' incentive plan payable was $3,066,000 and $3,475,000, respectively. Employee incentive plans The Company has incentive plans for eligible employees not covered under the executive compensation plan. Awards under these plans are paid annually and are based on the achievement of certain financial and performance objectives. Total expenses under these plans were $5,537,000, $5,211,000 and $4,426,000 for the years ended September 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. 9. Stock Common A total of 35,000,000 shares of common stock, $.01 par value, are authorized, of which 13,992,126 shares (including 9,787 shares of treasury stock) were outstanding at September 30, 1998, and 13,474,382 shares (including 12,114 shares of treasury stock) were outstanding at September 30, 1997. Preferred A total of 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value, are authorized; no preferred stock has been issued. 39 10. Stock Option Plans The Company has two stock option plans, one of which is for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and common stock that reserve shares of common stock for issuance to officers, key employees and non-employee directors. The Company has elected to continue to apply the provisions of APB No. 25, and provide the pro forma disclosures of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Granted awards generally have a maximum term of ten years and vest over one to five years. Under this plan approved by the stockholders, a number of shares equal to 4% of the number of shares of the Company's common stock outstanding on the last day of the preceding fiscal year is added to the shares available under the plan each fiscal year, provided that the number of shares suitable for grants of incentive stock options for the remaining term of the plan shall not exceed 1,500,000 shares. The other plan is limited to the former employees of RMT, who, as of the merger date, held unexpired and unexercised stock option grants under the RMT stock option plans. Granted awards have a maximum term of ten years and vest over three years. The total number of issuable options under the plan is 650,800. The fair value of options at the date of grant was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the years ended September 30: 1998 1997 1996 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Expected life (years) 5 5 5 Interest rate 5.5% 6.5% 6.2% Volatility 43% 45% 45% Dividend yield 0% 0% 0% The following information regarding these option plans for the years ended September 30 is as follows:

Commitments and Contingencies The Company conducts certain of its operations in facilities occupied under non-cancelable operating leases with lease terms in excess of one year. The leases generally provide for annual increases based upon the Consumer Price Index or fixed increments. In May 1998, the Company entered into a synthetic lease agreement to lease land in San Rafael, California, and improvements comprising the first phase of an office complex facility to be constructed on the land. A synthetic lease is asset-based financing structured to be treated as a lease for accounting purposes but as a loan for tax purposes. The office complex facility is intended to accommodate the future growth of the Company. The Company had an option (the "Option") to purchase the undeveloped land in December 1997, and the Option was assigned to the lessor in connection with the synthetic lease transaction. The lessor under the synthetic lease has committed to spend up to $55 million for the purchase of the land and construction of this first phase of the facility, and the Company will act as construction agent for the lessor. At September 30, 1998, the lessor's total accumulated cost for land and construction of the facility was $15.1 million. The lease term began in May 1998 and continues thereafter for five years for the land and, when they are constructed, will incorporate the buildings and other improvements that will comprise the first phase of the facility. Rental payments will commence on completion of construction, and at that time the rental payments will be based on the total construction costs for the facility and the one month LIBOR rate plus 0.75% or 1.00%. The completion of construction is expected to occur in January 2001. 41 With the approval of lessor, the Company may extend the lease term for up to three one-year periods or one three-year period. The Company has the option either to purchase the entire facility at a purchase price approximating lessor's then-accumulated total costs or only certain portions of the facility, at a pre-set price, at any time during the term or, at the expiration of the lease term to cause the facility to be sold to a third party. The synthetic lease requires the Company to maintain specified financial covenants, all of which the Company was in compliance with at September 30, 1998. Future minimum lease payments under the synthetic lease are not included in the schedule below. Minimum future rental commitments under operating leases are as follows: Year ending September 30, (dollars in thousands) - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1999 $ 7,954 2000 8,198 2001 7,779 2002 7,544 2003 5,075 Thereafter 33,270 -------- $ 69,820 ======== Rent expense under operating leases, including month-to-month leases, was $8,298,000, $6,413,000 and $4,821,000 for the years ended September 30, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial condition. 12.

                             ARTICLE 1. LEASE TERMS

1.1  LANDLORD AND TENANT.  This lease  ("Lease") is entered into this 2nd day of
December,  1998  by  and  between  CSM  CORPORATION,  a  Minnesota  corporation,
("Landlord") and DYNAMARK, INC., a Minnesota corporation, ("Tenant").

1.2  PREMISES.  Landlord  hereby rents,  leases,  lets and demises to Tenant the
premises and building (sometimes  hereinafter  referred to as the "Premises" and
"Building",  or  collectively  as the  "Premises")  illustrated on the site plan
attached  hereto as EXHIBIT A,  together with a  nonexclusive  right of ingress,
egress and access  over and across the  private  drives  shown on EXHIBIT A. The
Premises  and  Building are located on the real  property  legally  described on
attached  EXHIBIT B. The  parties  acknowledge  that the  Tenant is leasing  the
entire  Building,  and that the Building and Premises  consist of  approximately
50,407 square feet.

The Tenant  acknowledges  that the Premises are a part of a  development  which,
with the addition of the Premises,  will include four  buildings and  associated
appurtenant  improvements,  all as shown on the site plan attached as EXHIBIT A.
The Tenant  acknowledges  and agrees  that the  Premises  will be subject to and
benefited by various non-exclusive easements for ingress, egress and access over
the private  drives  serving the Project,  and certain  exclusive  easements for
utilities,  and other  purposes  provided that the same shall not interfere with
the use and enjoyment of the Premises, as contemplated herein.

1.3      IMPROVEMENTS.  Landlord shall diligently pursue the construction of the
         Building,  improvements to the Premises, and site improvements pursuant
         to plans and  specifications  agreed to by Landlord and Tenant pursuant
         to Section 6.1 of this Lease.  Architectural  plans and  specifications
         describing the  improvements  to be constructed  are attached hereto as
         EXHIBITS C and D.

1.4      LEASE TERM.

         A.       Term.  The term of this  Lease  shall  be for a period  of one
                  hundred  fifty-six (156) months ("Lease Term"),  commencing on
                  the commencement date hereinafter specified

         B.       Commencement   Date.   The  Lease  Term  shall  commence  (the
                  "Commencement  Date") on the date that  Landlord  delivers the
                  Premises  to  Tenant  substantially  complete  and  ready  for
                  occupancy by Tenant.  The parties anticipate that the Premises
                  will be  delivered  to Tenant  on or about  July 1,  1999.  If
                  Landlord,  despite its diligent efforts,  is unable to deliver
                  the Premises to Tenant on or before such date this Lease shall
                  nevertheless  remain in full force and  effect,  and  Landlord
                  shall exercise diligent and reasonable  efforts to deliver the
                  Premises  to  Tenant  as  soon  thereafter  as  is  reasonably
                  possible.  If the Landlord's  failure to deliver possession of
                  the  Premises  on July 1, 1999  results in the  Tenant  paying
                  holdover rent at its "Churchill" facility,  the Landlord shall
                  reimburse the Tenant for its actual holdover  costs,  provided
                  that the Landlord's

                                       1                             Exhibit 2.1




                  reimbursement shall in no case exceed $5,000.00.  In addition,
                  the Landlord  shall also reimburse the Tenant for "overlap" of
                  any rent that the Tenant pays at the Churchill facility due to
                  Landlord's failure to deliver the Premises by the first of the
                  month.  For  example,  if the  Tenant  must pay the  Churchill
                  landlord $15,000.00 for July rental,  which includes $5,000.00
                  of holdover rent,  due to the  Landlord's  failure to complete
                  the Premises,  and the Tenant ultimately vacates the Churchill
                  facility on July 15th, but is not entitled to a refund for the
                  balance  of the July rent,  the  Landlord's  penalty  would be
                  $10,161.00,  which represents a $5,000.00 holdover penalty and
                  $5,161.00  for 16/31 of the  month  for  which  the  Tenant is
                  obligated to pay rent at two  facilities.  Any penalty owed by
                  the Landlord may be paid by crediting  the Tenant's  next rent
                  obligation. When the Commencement Date has been established as
                  above provided, the parties shall execute an Addendum to Lease
                  in the form  attached  hereto as  EXHIBIT  E,  which  Addendum
                  shall,  among other things,  confirm the Commencement Date. If
                  the  Commencement  Date  is  other  than  the  first  day of a
                  calendar month,  this Lease shall continue in force and effect
                  for the full  Lease  Term  from and after the first day of the
                  calendar month next succeeding the Commencement Date.

         C.       Subject  to the terms and  conditions  hereinafter  set forth,
                  Tenant  shall have the option to extend the term of this Lease
                  for one (1) additional  sixty (60) month term ("Option  Term")
                  upon and  pursuant to the same  conditions  contained  herein.
                  This  option may be  exercised  by written  notice of exercise
                  from Tenant to Landlord given not less than one (1) year prior
                  to the expiration of the Lease Term.  Tenant may exercise this
                  option  only if:  (i) no  condition  of  default  exists  with
                  respect to Tenant's  performance of its obligations  under the
                  Lease; and (ii) Tenant simultaneously exercises its options to
                  extend  under  the New Lease  and  under  the  Existing  Lease
                  covering the premises  located at 4295 Lexington  Avenue North
                  in Arden Hills,  Minnesota (as defined in Section 14.12 of the
                  New Lease). Base Rent for the Option Term shall be at the fair
                  market  rate  for  comparable  space  in  the  north  suburban
                  geographic  area. The fair market rent shall be agreed upon by
                  Tenant and Landlord  within sixty (60) days of Tenant's notice
                  to Landlord of its  irrevocable  intent to exercise its option
                  to extend set forth herein.  The fair market rental rate shall
                  be determined in accordance  with the  definition set forth in
                  Section 7 of the Existing  Lease dated May 1, 1995 and amended
                  December 30, 1996 for the premises  located at 4295  Lexington
                  Avenue  North in Arden  Hills,  Minnesota.  In the event  that
                  Landlord  and Tenant fail to agree to the fair  market  rental
                  rate in the time period set forth herein, then the fair market
                  rent shall be established in accordance  with the  arbitration
                  procedures  set forth in Section 8 of the  Existing  Lease for
                  the premises  located at 4295 Lexington  Avenue North in Arden
                  Hills,  Minnesota.  If Tenant fails to exercise this option as
                  aforesaid,  this  option  shall  be null  and  void  and of no
                  further force and effect.

         D.       Miscellaneous.  In the event that  Tenant  does not vacate the
                  Premises  upon the  expiration or  termination  of this Lease,
                  Tenant shall be a tenant at will for the  holdover  period and
                  all of the  terms  and  provisions  of  this  Lease  shall  be
                  applicable  during that  period,  except that Tenant shall pay
                  Landlord  as base  rental for the period of such  holdover  an
                  amount equal to one and one-quarter

                                       2




                  (1.25)  times the base rent which  would have been  payable by
                  Tenant had the  holdover  period  been a part of the  original
                  term of this  Lease,  together  with  all  additional  rent as
                  provided  in this  Lease.  During  any such  holdover  period,
                  Tenant  agrees to vacate and deliver the  Premises to Landlord
                  upon Tenant's  receipt of notice from Landlord to vacate.  The
                  rental payable during the holdover  period shall be payable to
                  Landlord on demand. No holding over by Tenant, whether with or
                  without the consent of Landlord,  shall  operate to extend the
                  term of this Lease.

                  *Base Rent is subject to  adjustment  as  provided in Sections
                  1.5.B., 6.1, and 14.14 of this Lease

         B.       Adjustment of Base Rent. The Initial Base Rent set forth above
                  has been  computed  at the per  square  foot  rates  set forth
                  above,  assuming  that the Premises  consist of 50,407  square
                  feet.  The actual number of square feet in the Premises  shall
                  be determined by Landlord from "As Built"  measurements of the
                  Building and Premises,  and shall be accomplished by measuring
                  from the exterior face of the exterior  walls of the Building.
                  Once such measurements are  accomplished,  Landlord and Tenant
                  shall  execute  an  addendum  to lease to  confirm  the actual
                  square  footage of the Premises  and to establish  the monthly
                  base rent for the Premises by  multiplying  the actual  square
                  footage of the  Premises  times the per  square  foot rent set
                  forth  above.  The  Initial  Base Rent shall also be  adjusted
                  based  upon the  actual  construction  costs  as set  forth in
                  Section 6.1.

            ARTICLE 2. RENT, OPERATING EXPENSES AND SECURITY DEPOSIT

2.1 BASE RENT. Tenant agrees to pay monthly as Base Rent during the term of this
Lease the sum of money set forth in Section 1.5 of this Lease, which amount will
be payable to Landlord at the address shown above.  Monthly installments of Base
Rent shall be due and  payable,  in advance,  on or before the first day of each
calendar month during the term of this Lease;  provided that if the Commencement
Date should be a date other than the first day of a calendar month,  the monthly
Base Rent shall be prorated on a daily basis to the end of that calendar  month,
and shall be payable on or before the  Commencement  Date of this Lease.  Tenant
shall pay, as  additional  rent,  all other sums due under this Lease.  Landlord
will  promptly  commence  construction  of the  Building  and Premises and shall
diligently  pursue  construction  thereof in order to have the  Building and the
Premises  substantially  complete on the Commencement  Date. For the purposes of
this  provision,  "substantially  complete"  shall  mean that the  Building  and
Premises  are   substantially   completed  in   accordance   with  the  approved
construction  documents and the requirements of the City of Arden Hills, subject
only to punchlist and minor  completion  items that will not prevent Tenant from
occupying and commencing  operations  within the Premises,  which  punchlist and
minor completion items Landlord agrees to promptly complete.

If,  prior to June 15,  1999,  Landlord  determines  that it will not be able to
deliver the  Building and  Premises to Tenant in the  condition  required by the
anticipated  Commencement Date,  Landlord shall notify Tenant, in writing, on or
before July 1, 1999, and the  Commencement  Date shall be extended to the actual
substantial  completion date. In such event,  Landlord shall provide Tenant with
not less than  forty-five  (45) days  prior  written  notice of the  anticipated
substantial completion date.

If, subject to force majeure or Tenant caused delays,  the Building and Premises
are not  substantially  complete and ready for  Tenant's  occupancy by August 1,
1999, Landlord shall pay to Tenant, as a credit against the first installment of
Base Rent and additional rent payable hereunder,  an amount equal to $500.00 for
each day  thereafter  until the  Building  and the  Premises  are  substantially
complete  and ready for  Tenant's  occupancy.  If,  subject to force  majeure or
Tenant caused delays,  the Building and Premises are not substantially  complete
and ready for Tenant's  occupancy  by  September 1, 1999,  Tenant shall have the
option to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord after  September 1,
1999 and prior to substantial completion of the Building and Premises.

2.2 OPERATING  EXPENSES.  Tenant shall also pay as additional  rent Tenant's pro
rata share of the operating expenses of Landlord for the Building.  Landlord may
invoice  Tenant  monthly for Tenant's pro rata share of the estimated  operating
expenses  for  each  calendar   year,   which  amount  shall  be  adjusted  from
time-to-time by Landlord based upon reasonably  anticipated  operating expenses.
Within six (6) months following the close of each calendar year,  Landlord shall
provide Tenant an accounting  showing in reasonable  detail the  computations of
additional rent due under this Section.  In the event the accounting  shows

                                       4




that the total of the  monthly  payments  made by Tenant  exceeds  the amount of
additional  rent due by Tenant  under  this  Section,  the  accounting  shall be
accompanied  by  evidence  of a credit  to  Tenant's  account.  In any event the
accounting  shows that the total of the monthly  payments made by Tenant is less
than the  amount  of  additional  rent due by Tenant  under  this  Section,  the
accounting  shall be accompanied by an invoice for the additional  rent. If this
Lease shall  terminate on a day other than the last day of a calendar  year, the
amount of any additional rent payable by Tenant  applicable to the year in which
the  termination  shall  occur shall be prorated on the ratio that the number of
days  from  the  commencement  of  the  calendar  year  to  and  including  such
termination  date bears to 365.  Tenant  agrees to pay any  additional  rent due
under this  Section  within ten (10) days  following  receipt of the  invoice or
accounting  showing  additional  rent due.  Tenant's pro rata share set forth in
Section 1.8 shall, subject to reasonable  adjustment by Landlord,  be equal to a
percentage  based upon a fraction,  the  numerator of which is the total area of
the Premises as set forth in Article 1 and the denominator of which shall be the
net rentable area of the Building, as the same may change from time to time.

2.3 DEFINITION OF OPERATING EXPENSES. The term "operating expenses" includes all
expenses  incurred by Landlord with respect to the  maintenance and operation of
the Building, including, but not limited to, the following:  maintenance, repair
and replacement  costs;  electricity,  fuel, water,  sewer, gas and other common
Building  utility  charges;  equipment used for maintenance and operation of the
Building; operational expenses; exterior window washing and janitorial services;
trash and snow removal; landscaping and pest control; management fees, wages and
benefits  payable to employees of Landlord  whose duties are directly  connected
with the operation and  maintenance  of the  Building;  all services,  supplies,
repairs,  replacements  or other  expenses for  maintaining  and  operating  the
Building or project including parking and common areas; improvements made to the
Building which are required under any  governmental  law or regulation  that was
not applicable to the Building at the time it was  constructed;  installation of
any device or other  equipment  which  improves the operating  efficiency of any
system within the Premises and thereby  reduces  operating  expenses;  all other
expenses which would generally be regarded as operating, repair, replacement and
maintenance  expenses;  all real  property  taxes and  installments  of  special
assessments, including dues and assessments by means of deed restrictions and/or
owners'  associations  which accrue against the Building during the term of this
Lease and legal fees incurred in connection with actions to reduce the same; and
all insurance  premiums  Landlord is required to pay or deems  necessary to pay,
including  fire and  extended  coverage,  and rent  loss  and  public  liability
insurance, with respect to the Building.

Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,   operating  expenses  shall  not  include  any
expenditure  which must be capitalized  for federal income tax purposes,  except
that  operating  expenses  shall  include the  amortization  of any such capital
expenditures  (except capital expenditures for improvements made to the Building
without the  consent of Tenant,  or for  restoration  or repair of damage to the
Building  caused by  casualty)  on a  straight-line  basis  over the  reasonably
estimated  useful life,  at an  amortization  rate equal to the rate of Treasury
Securities of comparable term, plus two percent (2%).

Further, operating expenses shall not include:

                                       5




         A.       Taxes  payable  by  reason  of any  "minimum  assessment":  or
                  similar  agreement  to the extent  exceeding  the taxes  which
                  otherwise  would be payable  with  respect to the  property of
                  which the Premises are a part; or

         B.       Special  assessments  levied  or  pending  on the date of this
                  Lease  or  levied  for  public  improvements   constructed  in
                  connection  with the initial  construction  of the Building or
                  any additional building; or

         C.       Expenses  of  contesting  taxes or the  assessed  value of the
                  property  of which  the  Premises  are a part in excess of the
                  savings achieved in such contest; or

         D.       Management  fees  exceeding  fifteen  percent  (15%)  of other
                  operating expenses except taxes and special assessments; or

         E.       Expenses  incurred by Landlord in satisfying  its  obligations
                  under Section 14.13 hereof.

2.4 INCREASE IN INSURANCE  PREMIUMS.  If an increase in any  insurance  premiums
paid by Landlord  for the  Building is caused by Tenant's use of the Premises or
if Tenant  vacates the  Premises and causes an increase in such  premiums,  then
Tenant shall pay as additional rent the amount of such increase to Landlord.


                          ARTICLE 3. OCCUPANCY AND USE

3.1 USE.  Tenant  warrants and represents to Landlord that the Premises shall be
used and occupied only for the purpose as set forth in Section 1.6. Tenant shall
occupy the  Premises,  conduct its business  and control its agents,  employees,
invitees  and  visitors  in such a manner as is lawful,  reputable  and will not
create a nuisance. Tenant shall not permit any operation which emits any odor or
matter which intrudes into other portions of the Building or otherwise interfere
with,  annoy or disturb any other lessee in its normal  business  operations  or
Landlord in its management of the Building. Tenant shall not permit any waste on
the Premises to be used in any way which would,  in the opinion of Landlord,  be
extra  hazardous  on account of fire or which  would,  in any way,  increase  or
render void the fire insurance on the Building.

3.2  SIGNS.  No sign of any type or  description  shall be  erected,  placed  or
painted in or about the Premises or Building which are visible from the exterior
of the Premises,  except those signs submitted to Landlord in writing, and which
signs are in conformance with Landlord's sign criteria,  if any, established for
the Building.

3.3 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS, RULES AND REGULATIONS.  Tenant,  at Tenant's sole cost
and  expense,  shall  comply  with  all  laws,  ordinances,  orders,  rules  and
regulations  of state,  federal,  municipal or other  agencies or bodies  having
jurisdiction over the use, condition or occupancy of the Premises, provided that
Tenant shall not be obligated to make any material capital improvements required
by such laws,  ordinances,  orders,  rules and regulations,  (nor shall Landlord
have  such  obligation).  For  purposes  of this  clause,  a  "material  capital
improvement"   shall  mean  any  capital   improvement   or  series  of  capital
improvements  within any calendar year,  costing in excess of $1,500.00.  Tenant
will comply with the

                                       6




reasonable rules and regulations of the Building  adopted by Landlord.  Landlord
shall have the right at all times to change and amend the rules and  regulations
in any  reasonable  manner  as may be deemed  advisable  for the  safety,  care,
cleanliness,  preservation of good order and operation or use of the Building or
the Premises. All rules and regulations of the Building will be sent by Landlord
to Tenant in writing and shall thereafter be carried out and observed by Tenant.

3.4  WARRANTY  OF  POSSESSION.  Landlord  warrants  that  it has the  right  and
authority to execute this Lease, and Tenant,  upon payment of the required rents
and subject to the terms, conditions, covenants and agreements contained in this
Lease,  shall have possession of the Premises during the full term of this Lease
as well as any extension or renewal  thereof.  Landlord shall not be responsible
for the acts or omissions of any other lessee or third party that may  interfere
with Tenant's use and enjoyment of the Premises.

3.5 RIGHT OF ACCESS.  Landlord or its  authorized  agents shall,  at any and all
reasonable  times  and  upon  reasonable  notice,  have the  right to enter  the
Premises to inspect the same,  to show the Premises to  prospective  purchasers,
lessees, mortgagees, insurers or other interested parties, and to alter, improve
or repair the  Premises  or any other  portion of the  Building.  Tenant  hereby
waives any claim for damages for injury or inconvenience to or interference with
Tenant's business,  any loss of occupancy or use of the Premises,  and any other
loss  occasioned  thereby,  except as may result from the  negligent  or willful
misconduct of Landlord. Tenant shall not change Landlord's lock system or in any
other manner prohibit  Landlord from entering the Premises.  Landlord shall have
the right to use any and all means  which  Landlord  may deem proper to open any
door in an emergency without liability therefor. Tenant shall permit Landlord to
erect, use, maintain and repair pipes,  cables,  conduits,  plumbing,  vents and
wires in, to and through the  Premises as often and to the extent that  Landlord
may now or hereafter  deem to be necessary  or  appropriate  for the proper use,
operation  and  maintenance  of the  Building;  provided  that Landlord does not
thereby  materially  interfere  with the use and  enjoyment  of the  Premises by
Tenant for general office purposes.


                     ARTICLE 4. UTILITIES AND ACTS OF OTHERS

4.1 BUILDING  SERVICES.  Tenant  shall pay when due,  all charges for  utilities
furnished to or for the use or benefit of Tenant or the  Premises.  Tenant shall

Tenant's  property  or  personal  injury  caused  by  criminal  acts or entry by
unauthorized persons into the Premises or the Building.

4.3 UNDERGROUND  CHILLED WATER LINE. In the event that the general contractor or
one of its subcontractors damages the underground chilled water line serving the
4295 building,  and the damage necessitates the Tenant shutting down its chilled
water computers, the Landlord shall pay a penalty of $5,000.00 per day for every
day that the  computers  are  inoperable  due to the  unavailability  of chilled
water.  Any penalty owed by the  Landlord may be paid by crediting  the Tenant's
next rent obligation.

                       ARTICLE 5. REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE

                                       7




5.1. LANDLORD REPAIRS.  Landlord shall not be required to make any improvements,
replacements or repairs of any kind or character to the Premises or the Building
during the term of this Lease except as are set forth in this Section.  Landlord
shall  maintain  only the  roof,  foundation,  parking  and  common  areas,  the
structural  soundness  of  the  exterior  walls,  doors,  corridors,  and  other
structures  serving  the  Premises  in good  order and  repair,  provided,  that
Landlord's cost of  maintaining,  replacing and repairing the items set forth in
this Section are operating expenses subject to the additional rent provisions in
Section 2.2 and 2.3.  Landlord  shall correct any  deficiencies  in  maintenance
within thirty (30) days after written notice from Tenant; provided that for work
that  cannot be  completed  within  thirty (30) days,  Landlord  shall not be in
default  hereunder  if Landlord  commences  the work within such thirty (30) day
period and  diligently  proceeds to complete such work; and provided that in the
case of an  emergency,  Landlord  shall take action to correct  deficiencies  as
promptly  as  practicable.  Landlord  shall not be liable to  Tenant,  except as
expressly  provided in this Lease, for any damage or  inconvenience,  and Tenant
shall not be entitled to any  abatement  or  reduction  of rent by reason of any
repairs,  alterations or additions  made by Landlord under this Lease;  provided
that Landlord does not thereby  materially  interfere with the use and enjoyment
of the Premises by Tenant for general office purposes.

5.2 TENANT  REPAIRS.  Tenant  shall,  at all times  throughout  the term of this
Lease,  including  renewals and  extensions,  and at its sole expense,  keep and
maintain the Premises in a clean,  safe,  sanitary and first class condition and
in  compliance  with  all  applicable  laws,   codes,   ordinances,   rules  and
regulations,  provided  that Tenant  shall not be obligated to make any material
capital  improvements  required  by such  laws,  ordinances,  orders,  rules and
regulations,  (nor shall  Landlord have such  obligation).  For purposes of this
clause, a "material capital  improvement" shall mean any capital  improvement or
series of capital  improvements  within any calendar year,  costing in excess of
$1,500.00.  Tenant's obligations hereunder shall include, but not be limited to,
the  maintenance,   repair  and  replacement,  if  necessary,  of  all  heating,
ventilation,  air  conditioning,  lighting and plumbing  fixtures and equipment,
fixtures,  motors and  machinery,  all  interior  walls,  partitions,  doors and
windows,  including  the  regular  painting  thereof,  all  exterior  entrances,
windows,  doors and docks and the replacement of all broken glass.  When used in
this provision,  the term "repairs" shall include  replacements or renewals when
necessary, and all such repairs made by the Tenant shall be equal in quality and
class to the original work.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,  Tenant shall not be
responsible  for major  non-recurring  repairs  of or  replacements  to the HVAC
system,  except where caused by Tenant's failure to properly  utilize,  maintain
and secure said system; Tenant,  however, shall pay the amortization  (utilizing
the amortization  method for capital  expenditures  described in Section 2.3) of
the costs of such major  repairs or  replacements  performed  after the five (5)
year  anniversary  of the  Commencement  Date.  For purposes of this  paragraph,
"major repairs or replacement  of the HVAC system" shall mean  expenditures  for
major repairs to or replacement  of compressors or exchangers.  The Tenant shall
keep and  maintain  all  portions of the  Premises  and the  sidewalk  and areas
adjoining the same in a clean and orderly  condition,  free of  accumulation  of
dirt, rubbish, snow and ice. If Tenant fails, refuses or neglects to maintain or
repair the Premises as required in this Lease after notice shall have been given
Tenant,  in accordance  with this Lease,  Landlord may make such repairs without
liability  to  Tenant  for any  loss or  damage  that  may  accrue  to  Tenant's
merchandise,  fixtures  or other  property  or to  Tenant's  business  by reason
thereof,  and upon  completion  thereof,  Tenant shall pay to Landlord all costs
plus  fifteen  percent  (15%) for  overhead  incurred by Landlord in making such
repairs upon presentation to Tenant of bill therefor.

                                       8




5.3.  TENANT  DAMAGES.  Tenant shall not allow any damage to be committed on any
portion of the Premises or Building or common areas,  and at the  termination of
this lease, by lapse of time or otherwise,  Tenant shall deliver the Premises to
Landlord in as good condition as existed at the Commencement Date of this Lease,
ordinary wear and tear and damage by casualty excepted.  The cost and expense of
repairs  necessary to restore the  condition  of the Premises  shall be borne by
Tenant.


                     ARTICLE 6. ALTERATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS

6.1  LANDLORD   IMPROVEMENTS.   Landlord  will  complete   construction  of  the
improvements  to the Premises in  accordance  with the  architectural  plans and
specifications attached hereto as EXHIBITS C and D. Any changes or modifications
to the said plans and  specifications  shall be  accomplished  by written change
order  executed by both Landlord and Tenant.  The parties agree that the Initial
Base  Rent  is  based  on  the  development  cost  estimates  set  forth  in the
preliminary  project budget  attached hereto as EXHIBIT F, and that upon Project
completion  the Base Rent will be  increased  or  decreased  to  reflect  actual
project  costs.  Specifically,  upon  completion  of  the  construction  of  the
Premises,  the  Initial  Base Rent shall be adjusted  so that  Landlord's  gross
annual yield is thirteen and thirty-five/100  percent (13.35%) of the total cost
of the Project (i.e.  annual Base Rent equals Total Project Costs  multiplied by
13.35%), provided, however that the "Soft Costs" as set forth in EXHIBIT F shall
be  fixed at  $616,809.00.  Tenant  shall  be  entitled  to  participate  in the
construction  management process and will have the right to initiate and approve
plan  modifications  and all construction  subcontracts.  Landlord shall provide
Tenant with construction cost information on an "open book" basis and will allow
Tenant to audit Landlord's  accounting  records with respect to the construction
of the Premises.  Upon completion of construction  and  reconciliation  of Total
Project Costs,  the Landlord and Tenant shall execute an Addendum in the form of
attached EXHIBIT E, which Addendum shall,  among other things,  confirm the Base
Rent for the Premises. In the event the Total Project Costs incurred by Landlord
(exclusive of Soft Costs)  exceed Five Million Five Hundred  Thousand and 00/100
Dollars  ($5,500,000),  then any such excess  costs shall be paid to Landlord by
Tenant, in cash, within fifteen (15) days following  completion of construction,
reconciliation  of Project  Costs,  and  Landlord's  submission of an invoice to
Tenant for such excess costs.

6.2  TENANT  IMPROVEMENTS.  Tenant  shall  not  make or  allow  to be  made  any
alterations or physical  additions in or to the Premises without first obtaining
the written consent of Landlord, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld.
Any  alterations,  physical  additions or  improvements  to the Premises made by
Tenant shall at once become the property of Landlord and shall be surrendered to
Landlord upon the termination of this Lease; provided,  however,  Landlord, as a
condition to its consent to any  proposed  alteration  or addition,  may require
Tenant to remove any physical  additions  and/or repair any alterations in order
to restore  the  Premises  to the  conditions  existing  at the time Tenant took
possession,  all costs of removal and/or alterations to be borne by Tenant. This
clause shall not apply to moveable equipment or furniture owned by Tenant, which
Tenant shall have the right to  mortgage,  and which may be removed by Tenant at
any time and from time to time.  Landlord  agrees to  cooperate  with  Tenant in
connection  with any  financing  Tenant  elects  to place on its  equipment  and
personal  property,  including  execution of such  certificates and documents as
Tenant's lender may reasonably request.

                        ARTICLE 7. CASUALTY AND INSURANCE

7.1 SUBSTANTIAL DESTRUCTION.  If all or a substantial portion of the Premises or
the Building should be totally  destroyed by fire or other  casualty,  or if the
Premises or the Building should be damaged so that rebuilding  cannot reasonably
be  completed  within two hundred  (200)  working days after the date of written
notification by Tenant to Landlord of the destruction,  or if insurance proceeds
are not made available to Landlord,  or are inadequate,  for  restoration,  this
Lease shall  terminate  at the option of  Landlord  or Tenant by written  notice
within sixty (60) days  following the  occurrence,  and the rent shall be abated
for  the  unexpired  portion  of  the  Lease  effective  as of the  date  of the
occurrence.

7.2 PARTIAL DESTRUCTION.  If the Premises should be partially damaged by fire or
other casualty, and rebuilding or repairs can reasonably be completed within two
hundred  (200) working days from the date of written  notification  by Tenant to
Landlord of the destruction,  and insurance  proceeds are adequate and available
to Landlord for restoration,  this Lease shall not terminate, and Landlord shall
at its sole risk and expense  proceed  with  reasonable  diligence to rebuild or
repair the Building or other improvements to substantially the same condition in
which they  existed  prior to the damage.  If the  Premises are to be rebuilt or
repaired and are untenantable in whole or in part following the damage, the rent
payable  under  this  Lease  during  the  period  for  which  the  Premises  are
untenantable  shall be adjusted to such an extent as may be fair and  reasonable
under  the  circumstances.  Tenant  shall not be  obligated  to pay rent for any
portion of the Premises which it does not actually occupy during restoration, if
such  portion is not suitable for Tenant's  business  operations  as  reasonably
determined by Tenant. In the event that Landlord fails to complete the necessary
repairs or  rebuilding  within two hundred  (200)  working days from the date of
written notification by Tenant to Landlord of the destruction, Tenant may at its
option  terminate  this Lease by delivering  written  notice of  termination  to
Landlord,  whereupon all rights and obligations  under this Lease shall cease to
exist.

7.3 PROPERTY INSURANCE.  Landlord shall not be obligated in any way or manner to
insure any  personal  property  (including,  but not limited to, any  furniture,
machinery,  goods or  supplies)  of Tenant  upon or  within  the  Premises,  any
fixtures  installed  or paid for by Tenant upon or within the  Premises,  or any
improvements  which Tenant may construct on the Premises.  Tenant shall maintain
property  insurance on its personal property and shall also maintain plate glass
insurance.  Tenant shall have no right in or claim to the proceeds of any policy
of insurance  maintained by Landlord even if the cost of such insurance is borne
by Tenant as set forth in Article 2.

7.4 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION.  Anything in this Lease to the contrary withstanding,
Landlord and Tenant  hereby waive and release each other of and from any and all
right of recovery,  claim, action or cause of action,  against each other, their
agents,  officers  and  employees,  for any loss or damage that may occur to the
Premises,  the  improvements  of the  Building or personal  property  within the
Building,  by  reason  of fire,  other  casualty  insurable  under an "all  risk
insurance  policy",  or the elements,  regardless of cause or origin,  including
negligence  of  Landlord or Tenant and their  agents,  officers  and  employees.
Landlord  and  Tenant  agree  immediately  to give  their  respective  insurance
companies  which have issued

                                       10




policies of insurance  covering all risk of direct physical loss, written notice
of the terms of the mutual waivers contained in this Section.

7.5 HOLD HARMLESS.  Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant's employees,  agents,
invitees, licensees or visitors, or to any other person, for an injury to person
or damage to property on or about the Premises  caused by any act or omission of
Tenant, its agents,  servants or employees, or of any other person entering upon
the Premises  under express or implied  invitation  by Tenant,  or caused by the
improvements  located on the  Premises  becoming  out of repair,  the failure or
cessation of any service  provided by Landlord  (including  security service and
devices),  or caused by leakage of gas,  oil,  water or steam or by  electricity
emanating from the Premises,  provided that Landlord  shall be  responsible  for
loss  resulting  from its  negligence or willful  misconduct or from  Landlord's
failure to perform  repairs  within the time  required  by Section  5.1  hereof.
Tenant  agrees to  indemnify  and hold  harmless  Landlord of and from any loss,
attorney's  fees,  expenses or claims  arising out of any such damage or injury,
for which Landlord is not liable pursuant to the foregoing provisions.

7.6 PUBLIC LIABILITY INSURANCE. Tenant shall during the term hereof keep in full
force  and  effect  at its  expense a policy  or  policies  of public  liability
insurance with respect to the Premises and the business of Tenant,  on terms and
with  companies  approved  in writing  by  Landlord,  in which  both  Tenant and
Landlord  shall be covered by being named as insured  parties  under  reasonable
limits of  liability  not less than  $1,000,000,  or such  greater  coverage  as
Landlord may reasonably  require,  combined  single limit coverage for injury or
death.  Such policy or policies  shall  provide  that thirty (30) days'  written
notice must be given to Landlord  prior to  cancellation  thereof.  Tenant shall
furnish  evidence  satisfactory  to  Landlord at the time this Lease is executed
that such coverage is in full force and effect.


                             ARTICLE 8. CONDEMNATION

8.1 SUBSTANTIAL  TAKING.  If all or a substantial part of the Premises are taken
for any public or  quasi-public  use under any  governmental  law,  ordinance or
regulation,  or by right of eminent  domain or by purchase in lieu thereof,  and
the taking would  prevent or materially  interfere  with the use of the Premises
for the purpose for which it is then being used,  this Lease shall terminate and
the rent shall be abated during the unexpired portion of this Lease effective on
the date physical possession is taken by the condemning authority.  Tenant shall
have no claim to the condemnation award or proceeds in lieu thereof, except that
Tenant shall be entitled to a separate award for the cost of removing and moving
its personal property.

8.2 PARTIAL TAKING.  If all or a substantial  part of the Premises are taken for
any  public or  quasi-public  use  under  any  governmental  law,  ordinance  or
regulation,  or by right of eminent  domain or by purchase in lieu thereof,  and
this Lease is not terminated as provided in Section 8.1 above,  the rent payable
under this Lease during the  unexpired  portion of the term shall be adjusted to
such an extent as may be fair and  reasonable  under the  circumstances.  Tenant
shall not be obligated to pay rent for any portion of the Premises which it does
not  actually  occupy  after such  taking,  if such  portion is not suitable for
Tenant's  business  operations  as reasonably  determined by Tenant,  and Tenant
shall have the option to  terminate  this  Lease by written  notice to  Landlord
given within sixty (60) days after

                                       11




possession is taken if the remaining portion of the Premises is not suitable for
Tenant's  business  operation as reasonably  determined by Tenant.  Tenant shall
have no claim to the condemnation award or proceeds in lieu thereof, except that
Tenant shall be entitled to a separate award for the cost of removing and moving
its personal property.


                        ARTICLE 9. ASSIGNMENT OR SUBLEASE

9.1  LANDLORD  ASSIGNMENT.  Landlord  shall have the right to sell,  transfer or
assign,  in whole or in part, its rights and obligations under this Lease and in
the Building.  Any such sale,  transfer or  assignment  shall operate to release
Landlord from any and all liabilities under this Lease arising after the date of
such sale,  assignment  or transfer,  provided  that the  transferee or assignee
assumes such liabilities.

9.2 TENANT ASSIGNMENT. Tenant shall not assign, in whole or in part, this Lease,
or  allow  it to be  assigned,  in whole  or in  part,  by  operation  of law or
otherwise,  or mortgage or pledge the same, or sublet the Premises,  in whole or
in part, without the prior written consent of Landlord,  which consent shall not
be  unreasonably  withheld or delayed.  In no event shall any such assignment or
sublease ever release  Tenant or any guarantor  from any obligation or liability
hereunder.  Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, in the event
of any assignment or sublease,  any option or right of first refusal  granted to
Tenant  shall not be  assignable  by Tenant to any  assignee  or  sublessee.  No
assignee or  sublessee  of the  Premises  or any  portion  thereof may assign or
sublet the Premises or any portion thereof.

9.3 CONDITIONS OF  ASSIGNMENT.  If Tenant desires to assign or sublet all or any
part of the Premises,  it shall so notify  Landlord at least thirty (30) days in
advance of the date on which Tenant desires to make such assignment or sublease.
Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of the proposed assignment or sublease
and such information as Landlord might request concerning the proposed sublessee
or assignee to allow  Landlord to make  informed  judgments as to the  financial
condition,  reputation,  operations  and general  desirability  of the  proposed
sublessee or assignee.  Within seven (7) business days after Landlord's  receipt
of  Tenant's  proposed  assignment  or  sublease  and all  required  information
concerning the proposed sublease or assignee,  Landlord shall have the following
options:  (1) consent to the proposed  assignment or sublease,  and, if the rent
due and payable by any assignee or sublessee under any such permitted assignment
or sublease (or a  combination  of the rent  payable  under such  assignment  or
sublease  plus any  bonus or any other  consideration  or any  payment  incident
thereto) exceeds the rent payable under this Lease for such space,  Tenant shall
pay  to  Landlord   one-half   (1/2)  of  such  excess  rent  and  other  excess
consideration  within ten (10) days following  receipt thereof by Tenant; or (2)
refuse, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.2 above, to consent to
the proposed assignment or sublease,  which refusal shall be deemed to have been
exercised  unless  Landlord  gives Tenant written  notice  providing  otherwise.
Landlord shall, upon Tenant's request, provide the reasons for any refusal. Upon
the  occurrence  of an event of default,  if all or any part of the Premises are
then assigned or sublet, Landlord, in addition to any other remedies provided by
this Lease or provided by law,  may, at its option,  collect  directly  from the
assignee  or  sublessee  all  rents  becoming  due to  Tenant  by  reason of the
assignment or sublease. Any collection directly by Landlord from the assignee or
sublessee shall not be construed to constitute a novation or a release of Tenant
or any guarantor  from the further  performance  of its  obligations  under this
Lease.

                                       12




9.4 RIGHTS OF MORTGAGE. Tenant accepts this Lease subject and subordinate to any
recorded mortgage  presently existing or hereafter created upon the Building and
to all existing recorded restrictions,  covenants, easements and agreements with
respect to the Building.  Landlord is hereby  irrevocably vested with full power
and authority to  subordinate  Tenant's  interest  under this Lease to any first
mortgage lien hereafter placed on the Premises, and Tenant agrees upon demand to
execute additional instruments subordinating this Lease as Landlord may require.
If the interests of Landlord  under this Lease shall be transferred by reason of
foreclosure or other  proceedings  for enforcement of any first mortgage or deed
of trust on the  Premises,  Tenant shall be bound to the  transferee  (sometimes
called  the  "Purchaser")  at the  option of the  Purchaser,  under  the  terms,
covenants and  conditions  of this Lease for the balance of the term  remaining,
including any  extensions or renewals,  with the same force and effect as if the
Purchaser  were Landlord  under this Lease,  and, if requested by the Purchaser,
Tenant agrees to attorn to the Purchaser,  including the first  mortgagee  under
any such mortgage if it be the Purchaser,  as its Landlord.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing,  Tenant shall not be disturbed in its  possession  of the Premises so
long as Tenant is not in default hereunder.

9.5 TENANT'S STATEMENT.  Tenant agrees to furnish, from time to time, within ten
(10) days after receipt of a request from Landlord or  Landlord's  mortgagee,  a
statement certifying, if applicable,  the following:  Tenant is in possession of
the  Premises;  the  Premises  are  acceptable;  the Lease is in full  force and
effect; the Lease is unmodified; Tenant claims no present charge, lien, or claim
or offset  against  rent;  the rent is paid for the  current  month,  but is not
prepaid  for more than one month and will not be prepaid for more than one month
in advance;  there is no  existing  default by reason of some act or omission by
Landlord;  and such other matters as may be  reasonably  required by Landlord or
Landlord's  mortgagee;  or specifying any  exceptions to such matters.  Tenant's
failure to deliver  such  statement,  in addition to being a default  under this
Lease,  shall be deemed to  establish  conclusively  that this  Lease is in full
force and effect except as declared by Landlord, that Landlord is not in default
of any of its obligations  under this Lease,  and that Landlord has not received
more than one month's rent in advance.  Tenant  agrees to furnish,  from time to
time,  within ten (10) days after receipt of a request from  Landlord,  the most
recent financial statement of Tenant, certified as true and correct by Tenant.


   ARTICLE 10. LANDLORD'S LIEN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (Intentionally omitted)


                        ARTICLE 11. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

11.1 DEFAULT BY TENANT.  The  following  shall be deemed to be events of default
("Default")  by Tenant  under this Lease:  (1) Tenant shall fail to pay when due
any installment of rent or any other payment required pursuant to this Lease and
such failure shall  continue for a period of five (5) days after written  notice
to Tenant; (2) Tenant shall abandon any substantial portion of the Premises; (3)
Tenant shall fail to comply with any term,  provision or covenant of this Lease,
other than the payment of rent,  and the failure is not cured within thirty (30)
days after written  notice to Tenant;  (4) Tenant shall file a petition or if an
involuntary  petition is filed against Tenant, or becomes  insolvent,  under any
applicable federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law or admit that it cannot
meet its  financial  obligations  as

                                       13




they  become  due;  or a  receiver  or  trustee  shall be  appointed  for all or
substantially  all of the assets of Tenant;  or Tenant  shall make a transfer in
fraud of creditors or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors;  or
(5) Tenant  shall do or permit to be done any act which  results in a lien being
filed against the Premises or the Building  and/or project of which the Premises
are a part;  and Tenant  shall not cause such lien to be  released or bonded off
within thirty (30) days after written notice to Tenant.

In the event that an order for  relief is  entered  in any case under  Title 11,
U.S.C. (the "Bankruptcy  Code") in which Tenant is the debtor and: (A) Tenant as
debtor-in-possession,  or any  trustee  who may be  appointed  in the case  (the
"Trustee") seeks to assume the lease, then Tenant, or Trustee if applicable,  in
addition to providing adequate assurance  described in applicable  provisions of
the Bankruptcy Code,  shall provide  adequate  assurance to Landlord of Tenant's
future  performance  under the Lease by depositing  with Landlord a sum equal to
the lesser of twenty-five  percent (25%) of the rental and other charges due for
the balance of the Lease term or six (6) months' rent  ("Security"),  to be held
(without any allowance for interest thereon) to secure Tenant's obligation under
the Lease, and (B) Tenant,  or Trustee if applicable,  seeks to assign the Lease
after  assumption of the same,  then Tenant,  in addition to providing  adequate
assurance  described in applicable  provisions  of the  Bankruptcy  Code,  shall
provide  adequate  assurance  to  Landlord  of the  proposed  assignee's  future
performance  under  the Lease by  depositing  with  Landlord  a sum equal to the
Security  to be held  (without  any  allowance  or  interest  thereon) to secure
performance under the Lease.  Nothing contained herein expresses or implies,  or
shall be  construed  to  express  or  imply,  that  Landlord  is  consenting  to
assumption  and/or  assignment  of the Lease by Tenant,  and Landlord  expressly
reserves all of its rights to object to any assumption  and/or assignment of the
Lease. Neither Tenant nor any Trustee shall conduct or permit the conduct of any
"fire",  "bankruptcy",  "going out of  business"  or auction sale in or from the
Premises.

11.2 REMEDIES FOR TENANT'S DEFAULT.  Upon the occurrence of a Default as defined
above, Landlord may elect either (i) to cancel and terminate this Lease and this
Lease shall not be treated as an asset of Tenant's bankruptcy estate, or (ii) to
terminate  Tenant's right to possession  only without  canceling and terminating
Tenant's  continued  liability under this Lease.  Notwithstanding  the fact that
initially  Landlord elects under (ii) to terminate  Tenant's right to possession
only,  Landlord  shall have the  continuing  right to cancel and terminate  this
Lease by  giving  three  (3) days'  written  notice  to  Tenant of such  further
election, and shall have the right to pursue any remedy at law or in equity that
may be available to Landlord.

In the event of election  under (ii) to terminate  Tenant's  right to possession
only,  Landlord may, at Landlord's option,  enter the Premises and take and hold
possession thereof, without such entry into possession terminating this Lease or
releasing Tenant in whole or in part from Tenant's obligation to pay all amounts
hereunder for the full stated term.  Upon such reentry,  Landlord may remove all
persons and  property  from the  Premises  and such  property may be removed and
stored in a public  warehouse  or  elsewhere  at the cost and for the account of
Tenant,  without  becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned
thereby. Such reentry shall be conducted in the following manner: without resort
to judicial process or notice of any kind if Tenant has abandoned or voluntarily
surrendered  possession of the Premises;  and, otherwise,  by resort to judicial
process.  Upon and after entry into possession without termination of the Lease,
Landlord may, but is not obligated to, relet the Premises,  or any part thereof,
to any one other than the Tenant, for such time and upon such terms as Landlord,
in Landlord's sole discretion,  shall  determine.  Landlord may make alterations
and

                                       14




repairs to the Premises to the extent deemed by Landlord  necessary or desirable
to relet the Premises.

Upon such reentry, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord as follows:

         A.       For all  reasonable  attorneys'  fees  incurred by Landlord in
                  connection with exercising any remedy hereunder;

         B.       For the unpaid  installments of base rent,  additional rent or
                  other  unpaid  sums  which  were due  prior  to such  reentry,
                  including  interest and late payment fees, which sums shall be
                  payable immediately.

         C.       For the installments of base rent,  additional rent, and other
                  sums falling due pursuant to the  provisions of this Lease for
                  the period after  reentry  during  which the  Premises  remain
                  vacant,  including  late payment  charges and interest,  which
                  sums shall be payable as they become due hereunder.

         D.       For all expenses incurred in releasing the Premises, including
                  leasing commissions,  reasonable attorneys' fees, and costs of
                  alteration  or  repairs,  which  shall be payable by Tenant as
                  they are incurred by Landlord; and

         E.       While the Premises are subject to any new lease or leases made
                  pursuant to this Section,  for the amount by which the monthly
                  installments  payable  under  such new lease or leases is less
                  than the monthly  installment for all charges payable pursuant
                  to this Lease, which deficiencies shall be payable monthly.

Notwithstanding  Landlord's  election to terminate  Tenant's right to possession
only, and notwithstanding any reletting without  termination,  Landlord,  at any
time  thereafter,  may elect to terminate this Lease, and to recover (in lieu of
the amounts which would thereafter be payable pursuant to the foregoing, but not
in diminution of the amounts payable as provided above before  termination),  as
damages for loss of bargain and not as a penalty,  an aggregate sum equal to the
present value of the amount by which the rental value of the portion of the term
unexpired  at the time of such  election  is less  than an  amount  equal to the
unpaid base rent and  additional  rent,  and all other  charges which would have
been  payable by Tenant  for the  unexpired  portion of the term of this  Lease,
which  deficiency  and all expenses  incident  thereto,  including  commissions,
attorneys' fees,  expenses of alterations and repairs,  shall be due to Landlord
as of the time Landlord exercises said election,  notwithstanding  that the term
had not expired. If Landlord,  after such reentry, leases the Premises, then the
rent  payable  under such new lease shall be  conclusive  evidence of the rental
value of the unexpired portion of the term of this Lease.

If this Lease shall be  terminated  by reason of  bankruptcy  or  insolvency  of
Tenant, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant or Tenant's estate, as
liquidated  damages  for  loss of  bargain  and  not as a  penalty,  the  amount
determined by the immediately preceding paragraph.

11.3  LANDLORD'S  RIGHT TO PERFORM FOR ACCOUNT OF TENANT.  If Tenant shall be in
Default  under this  Lease,  Landlord  may cure the  Default at any time for the
account and at the expense of Tenant. If Landlord cures a Default on the part of
Tenant,  Tenant shall

                                       15




reimburse Landlord upon demand for any amount expended by Landlord in connection
with the cure, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and interest.

11.6  INTEREST,  ATTORNEY'S  FEES AND LATE CHARGE.  In the event of a Default by
Tenant:  (1) if a monetary  default,  interest  shall  accrue on any sum due and
unpaid  at the rate of the  lesser  of  fifteen  percent  (15%) per annum or the
highest  rate  permitted  by law and,  if  Landlord  places  in the  hands of an
attorney the enforcement of all or any part of this Lease, the collection of any
rent due or to become due or recovery of the possession of the Premises,  Tenant
agrees to pay Landlord's costs of collection,  including  reasonable  attorney's
fees for the services of the  attorney,  whether suit is actually  filed or not.
Other  remedies for  nonpayment of rent  notwithstanding,  if the monthly rental
payment or any other  payment due from  Tenant to  Landlord  is not  received by
Landlord  on or before  the tenth  (10th) day of the month for which the rent is
due, a late  payment  charge of five  percent (5%) of such past due amount shall
become due and payable in addition to such amounts owed under this Lease.

11.5     ADDITIONAL REMEDIES, WAIVERS, ETC.

         A.       The rights and  remedies of Landlord set forth herein shall be
                  in addition  to any other  right and remedy now and  hereafter
                  provided by law. All rights and remedies  shall be  cumulative
                  and not  exclusive  of each other.  Landlord  may exercise its
                  rights and remedies at any times, in any order, to any extent,
                  and as often as Landlord  deems  advisable  without  regard to
                  whether the exercise of one right or remedy precedes,  concurs
                  with or succeeds the exercise of another.

         B.       A single or partial  exercise  of a right or remedy  shall not
                  preclude  a  further  exercise  thereof,  or the  exercise  of
                  another right or remedy from time to time.

         C.       No delay or  omission by  Landlord  in  exercising  a right or
                  remedy shall exhaust or impair the same or constitute a waiver
                  of, or acquiesce to, a Default.

         D.       No  waiver of  Default  shall  extend  to or affect  any other
                  Default or impair any right or remedy with respect thereto.

         E.       No action or inaction by Landlord shall constitute a waiver of
                  Default.

         F.       No  waiver  of a Default  shall be  effective  unless it is in
                  writing and signed by Landlord.

14.6 TENANT'S AUTHORITY. If Tenant executes this Lease as a corporation, each of
the persons  executing  this Lease on behalf of Tenant  does  hereby  personally
represent and warrant that each such person signing on behalf of the corporation
is authorized to do so.

14.7 HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES.  Tenant, its agents or employees,  shall not bring or
permit to  remain  on the  Premises  or  Building  any  asbestos,  petroleum  or
petroleum  products,  explosives,  toxic  materials,  or  substances  defined as
hazardous  wastes,  hazardous  materials,  or  hazardous  substances  under  any
federal,  state, or local law or regulation ("Hazardous  Materials"),  except in
compliance with applicable  environmental and other laws.  Tenant's violation of
the  foregoing  prohibition  shall  constitute  a material  breach  and  default
hereunder and Tenant shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Landlord from and
against  any  claims,  damages,  penalties,  liabilities,  and costs  (including
reasonable  attorney  fees and court  costs)  caused by or arising  out of (i) a
violation  of the  foregoing  prohibition  by Tenant or (ii) the presence of any
Hazardous  Materials on, under, or about the Premises or the Building during the
term of the Lease caused by or arising,  in whole or in part, out of the actions
of Tenant, its agents or employees. Tenant shall clean up, remove, remediate and
repair any soil or ground water  contamination and damage caused by the presence
and any release of any  Hazardous  Materials in, on, under or about the Premises
or the Building  during the term of the Lease caused by or arising,  in whole or

with the requirements of applicable law. Tenant shall  immediately give Landlord
written notice of any suspected  breach of this paragraph;  upon learning of the
presence of any  release of any  Hazardous  Materials,  and upon  receiving  any
notices from governmental  agencies  pertaining to Hazardous Materials which may
affect the Premises or the Building.  The obligations of Tenant  hereunder shall
survive the expiration of earlier termination, for any reason, of this Lease.

14.8 SEVERABILITY.  If any provision of this Lease or the application thereof to
any person or circumstances shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the
remainder of this Lease and the  application of such provisions to other persons
or  circumstances  shall not be  affected  thereby  and shall be enforced to the
greatest extent permitted by law.

14.9 LANDLORD'S LIABILITY. If Landlord shall be in default under this Lease and,
if as a  consequence  of such  default,  Tenant shall  recover a money  judgment
against Landlord,  such judgment shall be satisfied only out of the right, title
and interest of Landlord in the Building, as the same may then be encumbered, or
by  offset  against  rents,  and  neither  Landlord  nor any  person  or  entity
comprising Landlord shall be liable for any deficiency. In no event shall Tenant
have the right to levy execution against any property of Landlord nor any person
or entity  comprising  Landlord  other  than the rents and its  interest  in the
Building as herein expressly provided.

14.10  BROKERAGE.  Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants to the other
that there is no obligation to pay any brokerage fee,  commission,  finder's fee
or other similar  charge in connection  with this Lease,  other than fees due to
PHIL SIMONET OF PARAMOUNT REAL ESTATE  CORPORATION which are the  responsibility
of  Landlord.  Each party  covenants  that it will  defend,  indemnify  and hold
harmless  the other party from and against  any loss or  liability  by reason of
brokerage or similar  services alleged to have been rendered to, at the instance
of, or agreed upon by said indemnifying party.  Notwithstanding  anything herein
to the contrary,  Landlord and Tenant agree that there shall be no brokerage fee
or commission due on expansions, options or renewals by Tenant.

                                       18




14.11  MANAGEMENT  AGENT.  Landlord  hereby  notifies  Tenant  that  the  person
authorized to execute this Lease and manage the Premises is CSM  Corporation,  a
Minnesota  corporation,  which has been appointed to act as the agent in leasing
management  and  operation of the Building for owner and is authorized to accept
service of process  and  receive or give  receipts  for  notices  and demands on
behalf of  Landlord.  Landlord  reserves  the right to change the  identity  and
status of its duly authorized agent upon written notice to Tenant.

14.12 EXISTING  LEASES.  The Landlord and Tenant are parties to leases  covering
premises  located at 4255,  4265 and 4295 Lexington  Avenue North,  Arden Hills,
Minnesota  (the "Existing  Leases").  The parties  acknowledge  and agree that a
material  condition for  Landlord's  agreement to enter into this Lease,  and to
enable  Landlord to perform its obligations  hereunder,  is the Amendment of the
Existing Leases.  Attached hereto and  incorporated  herein by this reference as
EXHIBITS G-1, G-2 and G-3, are the proposed  amendments  of the Existing  Leases
(the  "Amendments").  This Lease shall only be effective upon full execution and
delivery of this Lease and each of the Amendments, by both Landlord and Tenant.

14.13  CONSTRUCTION  PROVISIONS.  All of the work to be  performed  by  Landlord
pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof shall be performed in  accordance  with the plans
and specifications described in Section 6.1 hereof, shall be completed in a good
and workmanlike  manner,  utilizing new and first-grade  materials;  shall be in
conformity  with all  applicable  federal,  state  and local  laws,  ordinances,
regulations,  building  codes  and  fire  regulations;  shall  comply  with  all
insurance  requirements  of Landlord and Tenant;  and shall be free of any liens
for labor and materials.  Landlord shall use all reasonable  efforts to complete
such construction on or before the Commencement Date.

For the period  commencing as of the Commencement Date and ending on the day one
(1)  year  thereafter,  Landlord  will  correct  and/or  repair,  or cause to be
corrected  and/or  repaired,  any latent or non-obvious  defect,  malfunction or
failure  in or of  construction,  workmanship,  material  or  operation  of  the
Premises,  provided any such defect, malfunction or failure is not the result of
any work  performed  by Tenant,  and is not caused by any act or  negligence  of
Tenant,  its  employees or  contractors.  At the  expiration of the one (1) year
period,  Landlord shall assign to Tenant all  guaranties and warranties  made by
any contractor,  subcontractor  or materialmen  with respect to the Premises and
thereafter  Tenant  shall have the right,  at its  option,  to enforce  all such
guaranties and warranties in its name directly  against the warrantor.  Landlord
agrees  to  exercise  good  faith  efforts  to  obtain  contractor/subcontractor
warranties  longer  than one (1)  year,  to the  extent  the same are  available
without additional cost.

As to items which  Tenant has  notified  Landlord  are  defective  and which are
covered by referenced  Landlord warranty,  Landlord shall proceed  expeditiously
and in good faith to complete and repair any such items. As a condition thereof,
Tenant shall allow  Landlord,  its employees or  contractors,  to enter upon the
Premises  to perform  any  remedial  work  required  to be  performed,  and will
cooperate with  Landlord,  its employees or  contractors,  so that such remedial
work can be  accomplished as quickly as is reasonable  under the  circumstances,
and with the least amount of interruption to the business of the Tenant.

                                       19




Occupancy of the Premises by Tenant for conducting its business shall constitute
an  acknowledgement  by  Tenant,  and shall be  presumptive  evidence,  that the
Premises  are in the  condition  called for by this Lease and that  Landlord has
performed all of the  construction  work it is obligated to perform  pursuant to
Section 1.3  hereof,  except for such items  which are not  completed  and as to
which Tenant shall have given notice to Landlord  within  thirty (30) days after
Tenant takes  possession of the Premises (the  "Punchlist"),  and subject to any
latent or non-obvious defects, malfunctions or failures covered by the foregoing
warranty by Landlord.  Landlord shall proceed expeditiously and in good faith to
complete and repair all items set forth on the Punchlist.

In the event of any  dispute  between  Landlord  and  Tenant as to  whether  the
Premises are  substantially  complete and ready for  occupancy by Tenant for the
conduct of  Tenant's  business,  or as to any other  claim by Tenant  based upon
Landlord's  warranties  and  construction  obligations  contained  herein,  such
dispute shall be resolved by  arbitration  in  accordance  with the rules of the
American Arbitration Association, or in accordance with such other procedures as
shall be mutually  approved by the  parties.  In no event shall the  Premises be
deemed  substantially  complete  and  ready  for  occupancy  by  Tenant  until a
certificate  of occupancy  (temporary  or  permanent)  (or, if  certificates  of
occupancy are not issued by the  municipality,  an equivalent  final  inspection
report  authorizing  Tenant's occupancy and use of the property) has been issued
by the city in which the Premises are located. Landlord agrees to exercise every
reasonable effort to obtain a final certificate of occupancy as soon as possible
following completion of the Premises.

14.14 ADDITIONAL  PARKING. As of the Commencement Date, the Parking Plan for the
Premises  will be as depicted in EXHIBIT A. Upon  written  request  from Tenant,
Landlord will install  additional  parking on the Premises,  and on the premises
covered by the Existing Leases,  generally in accordance with the parking layout
shown on attached EXHIBIT A-1, subject to the following conditions:

      (i)         Landlord's application for and acquisition of all governmental
                  permits and appraisals necessary to permit Landlord to proceed
                  with construction and installation of such additional parking;
      
      (ii)        Landlord shall, following acquisition of necessary permits and
                  approvals,  immediately  proceed  with  construction  of  such
                  additional  parking and shall  complete the same within ninety
                  (90) days, subject to force majeure delays,  including adverse
                  weather conditions (Note: the normal paving season is May 15th
                  through October 15th of each year);
      
      (iii)       From and after the date of completion of the  construction and
                  installation of such parking,  the Base Rent payable by Tenant
                  under this Lease shall be  increased,  annually,  by an amount
                  equal  to  13.35%  of  the  costs   incurred  by  Landlord  in
                  connection with the  construction of such additional  parking,
                  which  increased rent shall be payable  monthly,  as a part of
                  Tenant's Monthly Base Rent.

At any time following the  expiration of the fifth lease year,  Landlord may, at
its option,  proceed with the additional parking, or a portion thereof, and from
and after  the date of

                                       20




completion thereof, the Base Rent payable by Tenant hereunder shall be increased
in accordance with Subsection (iii) above.

14.15  GUARANTY.  The Landlord has required,  as a condition to its execution of
this Lease, that Fair, Isaac and Company, Incorporated unconditionally guarantee
the full performance of the Tenants obligations hereunder.  The Tenant agrees to
deliver such guaranty, in the form of EXHIBIT H attached hereto and incorporated
herein by reference,  within ten (10) days  following the full execution of this
Lease by  Landlord  and  Tenant.  In the  event  Tenant  fails to  deliver  such
guaranty,  Landlord may, at its option  terminate  this Lease upon five (5) days
written notice to Tenant.

IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  Landlord and Tenant have executed this Lease effective the
day and year first above written.

              8, 1996.

Third:        As a part  of  Landlord's  purchase  of the  real  property,  CDSI

Fourth:       The parties have  executed a First  Amendment  to Lease  Agreement
              ("First Amendment") dated December 30, 1996.

Fifth:        The  parties  wish to execute  this Second  Amendment  to Lease to
              further extend the term of the Lease,  establish the rents payable
              thereunder,  adjust the site plan to reflect the  reduction in the
              area of other improvements to the Premises, and nullify the future
              development agreement contained in the First Amendment:


                                    AGREEMENT

In  consideration  of  the  above  stated  premises  and  the  mutual  covenants
hereinafter  contained,  the parties  hereby  agree that the Lease is  modified,
amended and/or supplemented as follows:

1.       Premises.  The Premises and certain improvements thereupon shall be and
         are  hereby  modified  as shown on the site  plan  attached  hereto  as
         REVISED  EXHIBIT  A-1.  REVISED  EXHIBIT  A-1  replaces  and is  hereby
         substituted  for Exhibit A-1 attached to the First  Amendment to Lease.
         Tenant acknowledges that the Premises are a part of a development which
         will include four  buildings and associated  appurtenant  improvements,
         all as shown on REVISED  EXHIBIT A-1.  Tenant  acknowledges  and agrees
         that  the  Premises  will  be  subject  to and  benefitted  by  various
         non-exclusive easements for ingress, egress and access over the private
         drives  serving  the  project,  and  certain  exclusive  easements  for
         utilities  and  other  purposes,  provided  that  the  same  shall  not
         interfere with the use and enjoyment of the Premises,  as  contemplated
         herein.

2.       Lease Term.  Landlord and Tenant are parties to a lease agreement dated
         December 2, 1998 (the "New Lease"), covering certain premises and a new
         building to be constructed  thereon  located  adjacent to the Premises,
         all as shown on REVISED EXHIBIT A-1. The parties agree that the term of
         the Lease  shall be  adjusted  such that the term of the Lease shall be
         coterminous with the term of the New Lease. More particularly, upon the
         commencement  date of the New  Lease,  the term of the  Lease  shall be
         extended  and  shall run for a period of one  hundred  fifty-six  (156)
         months  commencing on the  commencement  date of the New Lease.  If the
         commencement  date of the New  Lease is other  than the  first day of a
         calendar month, then the term of the Lease shall continue in full force
         and effect for a period of one hundred  fifty-six (156) months from and
         after the first day of the month next succeeding the commencement  date
         of the New Lease.  When the commencement date of the New Lease has been
         established,  the  parties  shall  execute an  addendum  to this Second
         Amendment  to Lease,  confirming  the term and  expiration  date of the
         Lease.

         towards the costs of  remodeling  will be based upon the time that such
         remodeling occurs, in accordance with the following schedule:

                  Period of                          Maximum Allowance

         The allowance shall apply towards Tenant's actual  remodeling costs and
         shall be payable to Tenant upon completion of remodeling and receipt by
         Landlord of evidence of payment under normal and customary construction
         lending  procedures.  Landlord  shall not be  required  to provide  any
         allowance on costs submitted for reimbursement after December 31, 2010.

6.       Guaranty.  Landlord has  required,  as a condition to its  execution of
         this  Second  Amendment  to  Lease,   that  Fair,  Isaac  and  Company,
         Incorporated unconditionally guarantee the full performance of Tenant's
         obligations under the Lease, as amended.  Tenant agrees to deliver such
         guaranty,  in the form of  EXHIBIT E attached  hereto and  incorporated
         herein by reference,  within ten (10) days following the full execution
         of this Second Amendment to Lease by Landlord and Tenant.  In the event
         Tenant fails to deliver  such  guaranty,  Landlord  may, at its option,
         terminate  this Second  Amendment  to Lease upon five (5) days  written
         notice to Tenant.

7.       Sections 6, 7 and 8 of the Lease are deleted in their  entirety and are
         replaced with the following:

         "Option to Extend.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set
         forth,  Tenant  shall  have the option to extend the term of this Lease
         for one (1) additional  sixty (60) month term ("Option  Term") upon and
         pursuant to the same conditions  contained  herein.  This option may be
         exercised by written  notice of exercise from Tenant to Landlord  given
         not less than one (1) year prior to the  expiration  of the Lease Term.
         Tenant may  exercise  this option only if: (i) no  condition of default
         exists with respect to Tenant's  performance of its  obligations  under
         the Lease;  and (ii)  Tenant

                                       2




         simultaneously  exercises its options to extend under the New Lease and
         under  the  Existing  Lease  covering  the  premises  located  at  4295
         Lexington Avenue North in Arden Hills, Minnesota (as defined in Section
         14.12 of the New Lease).  Base Rent for the Option Term shall be at the
         fair market rate for comparable space in the north suburban  geographic
         area.  The fair market rent shall be agreed upon by Tenant and Landlord
         within  sixty  (60)  days  of  Tenant's   notice  to  Landlord  of  its
         irrevocable  intent to exercise its option to extend set forth  herein.
         The fair market rental rate shall be determined in accordance  with the
         definition  set forth in Section 7 of the  Existing  Lease dated May 1,
         1995 and amended  December  30, 1996 for the  premises  located at 4295
         Lexington  Avenue  North in Arden Hills,  Minnesota.  In the event that
         Landlord and Tenant fail to agree to the fair market rental rate in the
         time  period  set forth  herein,  then the fair  market  rent  shall be
         established in accordance with the arbitration  procedures set forth in
         Section  8 of the  Existing  Lease  for the  premises  located  at 4295
         Lexington  Avenue North in Arden Hills,  Minnesota.  If Tenant fails to
         exercise this option as  aforesaid,  this option shall be null and void
         and of no further force and effect."

8.       Miscellaneous.  Except as  expressly  stated  herein,  the Lease  shall
         remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the parties  hereto have caused this Second  Amendment  to
Lease to be executed the day and year first above written.

outstanding Option for any reason expires or is terminated, the Shares allocable
to the unexercised  portion of such Option may again be made subject to Options.
The  limitation  established by this Section 6 shall be subject to adjustment in
the manner  provided  in Section 10 upon the  occurrence  of an event  specified
therein.

         7. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.

         (a) Stock Option Agreements.

         Options shall be evidenced by written  stock option  agreements in such
form as the Committee shall from time to time determine.  Such agreements  shall
comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions set forth below. However,
the provisions of all stock option  agreements  executed under the Plan need not
be identical.

         (b) Number of Shares.

         Each Option shall specify the number of Shares to which it pertains and
shall provide for the  adjustment of such number in accordance  with Section 10.
The Option  shall also  specify  whether it is an  Incentive  Stock  Option or a
Nonstatutory Stock Option.

         (c) Exercise Price.

         Each Option shall specify the Exercise Price.  The Exercise Price under
a Nonstatutory  Stock Option shall not be less than 85% of the Fair Market Value
on the date of grant.  The Exercise Price under any Incentive Stock Option shall
not be less than 100% of the Fair Market  Value on the date of grant and, in the
case of an Incentive  Stock Option  granted to an Optionee  described in Section
5(b), shall not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant.

                                       5




         (d) Medium and Time of Payment.

         The Purchase  Price shall be payable in full in United  States  dollars
upon the exercise of the Option,  except that the Committee  may determine  that
all or part of the Purchase  Price can be paid (i) by the surrender of Shares in
good form for transfer, owned for 12 months or more by the person exercising the
Option  and having a Fair  Market  Value on the date of  exercise  equal to that
portion of the Purchase  Price which is being paid with  Shares,  or (ii) with a
full-recourse  promissory  note executed by the Optionee.  The interest rate and
other terms and  conditions of such note shall be as specified by the Committee;
provided, however, that such note shall have a term of not more than five years,
shall be  payable  in full  within 90 days  after the  Optionee  ceases to be an
Employee  and shall bear  interest  at a rate not less than the Test  Rate.  The
Committee  may  require  that  the  Optionee  pledge  his or her  Shares  to the
Corporation  for the purpose of securing the repayment of such note.  Payment in
the form of a promissory note shall be permissible  only if the person executing
such note then is an Employee.

         (e) Withholding Taxes.

         As a  condition  to the  exercise  of an Option or the  disposition  of
Shares acquired under the Plan, the Optionee shall make such arrangements as the
Committee  may  require  for the  satisfaction  of any  Federal,  state or local
withholding tax  obligations  that may arise in connection with such exercise or
disposition.

         (f) Term and Nontransferability of Options.

         Each option shall specify the date when all or any installment  thereof
is to become  exercisable.  The Option shall also specify its term,  which shall
not exceed 10 years from the dateof grant and, in the case of an Incentive Stock
Option granted to an Optionee  described in Section 5(b),  shall not exceed five
years from the date of grant.

         During the lifetime of the  Optionee,  the Option shall be  exercisable
only by the Optionee and shall not be assignable or  transferable.  In the event
of the Optionee's death, the Option shall not be transferable other than by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution.

         (g) Termination of Service (Except by Death).

         If an Optionee  ceases to be an Employee  for any reason other than his
or her death,  then the Optionee  shall have the right to exercise an Option (to
the extent not previously  exercised and not expired) at any time within 90 days
after the date when he or she ceases to be an  Employee,  but only to the extent
that,  on such date,  the  Optionee's  right to  exercise  then such  Option has
accrued  pursuant to the terms of the  applicable  stock option  agreement.  The
Committee, in the applicable stock option agreement,

                                       6




may replace such period of 90 days with any other period.

         For purposes of this Subsection (g), the Employee relationship shall be
deemed to continue while the Optionee is on military leave,  sick leave or other
bona fide leave of  absence  (to be  determined  in the sole  discretion  of the
Committee).  The foregoing  notwithstanding,  in the case of an Incentive  Stock
Option,  the Employee  relationship  shall not be deemed to continue  beyond the
90th day after the Optionee ceased active  employment as a common-law  employee,
unless  the  Optionee's  reemployment  rights  are  guaranteed  by statute or by
contract.

         (h) Death of Optionee.

         If an Optionee  dies while an Employee  and has not fully  exercised an
Option,  then such  Option  (to the  extent  not  previously  exercised  and not
expired)  may be  exercised  at any time within 12 months  after the  Optionee's
death by the executors or  administrators  of his or her estate or by any person
or persons who have acquired  such Option  directly from the Optionee by bequest
or  inheritance,  but only to the  extent  that,  at the date of the  Optionee's
death,  the Optionee's right to exercise such Option had accrued pursuant to the
terms of the applicable stock option agreement.

         If an Optionee  dies after the Employee  relationship  terminated,  but
within the period  during  which an Option could have been  exercised  under (g)
above, and has not fully exercised such Option,  then such Option (to the extent
not previously exercised and not expired) may be exercised at any time within 12
months after the Optionee's death by the executors or  administrators  of his or
her estate or by any person or persons who have  acquired  such Option  directly
from the Optionee by bequest or inheritance, but only to the extent that, at the
date of  termination  of the  Employee  relationship,  the  Optionee's  right to
exercise such Option had accrued  pursuant to the terms of the applicable  stock
option agreement.

         (i) Rights as a Shareholder.

         An Optionee, or a transferee of an Optionee,  shall have no rights as a
shareholder  with  respect to any Shares  covered by his or her Option until the
date of the issuance of a stock certificate for such Shares. No adjustment shall
be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or
other  property),  distributions  or other  rights for which the record  date is
prior to the date when such stock  certificate is issued,  except as provided in
Section 10.

                                       7




         (j) Modification, Extension and Renewal of Options.

         Within the limitations of the Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or
renew outstanding  Options or accept the cancellation of outstanding Options (to
the  extent  not  previously  exercised)  for the  granting  of new  Options  in
substitution  therefor.  The foregoing  notwithstanding,  no  modification of an
Option shall, without the consent of the Optionee, alter or impair any rights or
obligations under such Option.

         (k) Other Provisions.

         The stock option agreements  authorized under the Plan may contain such
other provisions not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan (including, without
limitation,  restrictions upon the exercise of the Option or the transferability
of Shares) as the Committee may deem advisable.

         8. LIMITATION ON ISO AWARDS.

         No Incentive  Stock Options  shall be granted to an Optionee  under the
Plan if the  aggregate  Fair  Market  Value of the Stock  subject  to his or her
Incentive  Stock Options which become  exercisable for the first time during any
one calendar year (under all plans of the Corporation, any parent corporation or
a Subsidiary)  would exceed  $100,000.  For purposes of this Section 8, the Fair
Market Value of a Share shall be  determined  as of the date when the  Incentive
Stock Option covering such Share is granted.

         9. TERM OF PLAN.

         Options  may be granted  pursuant  to the Plan until May 12,  1997,  or
until such earlier date as the Board may determine at its sole discretion.

         10. RECAPITALIZATIONS.

         Subject to any required  action by  stockholders,  the number of Shares
covered by the Plan as  provided  in Section 6, the number of Shares  covered by
each  outstanding  Option  and the  Exercise  Price  thereof  shall be  adjusted
proportionately  for any  increase or  decrease  in the number of issued  Shares
resulting  from a  subdivision  or  consolidation  of Shares or the payment of a
stock  dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares
effected without receipt of consideration by the Corporation.

         Subject to any required action by  stockholders,  if the Corporation is
the  surviving  corporation  in any merger or  consolidation,  each  outstanding
Option shall pertain to the securities to which a holder of the number of Shares
subject to the Option would have been entitled.  A dissolution or liquidation of
the Corporation or a merger or

                                       8




consolidation  in which the Corporation is not the surviving  corporation  shall
cause each  outstanding  Option to terminate,  unless the agreement of merger or
consolidation  provides for the assumption thereof by the surviving corporation;
provided,  however,  that each Optionee  shall have the right to exercise his or
her  Options  in  full  immediately  prior  to the  date  of  such  dissolution,
liquidation,  merger or consolidation,  but only to the extent that such Options
have not previously been exercised,  have not expired and are not assumed by the
surviving corporation.

         To the extent that the  foregoing  adjustments  relate to securities of
the  Corporation,  such  adjustments  shall  be  made  by the  Committee,  whose
determination shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.

         Except as expressly  provided in this  Section 10, the  Optionee  shall
have no rights by reason of any subdivision or  consolidation of shares of stock
of any  class,  the  payment  of any stock  dividend  or any other  increase  or
decrease  in the  number  of  shares  of stock of any  class or by reason of any
dissolution, liquidation, merger or consolidation or spin-off of assets or stock
of another  corporation,  and any issue by the Corporation of shares of stock of
any class, or securities  convertible  into shares of stock of any class,  shall
not affect,  and no adjustment by reason  thereof shall be made with respect to,
the number or Exercise Price of Shares subject to an Option.

         The grant of an Option pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way
the right or power of the  Corporation to make  adjustments,  reclassifications,
reorganizations  or changes of its  capital or business  structure,  to merge or
consolidate or to dissolve,  liquidate,  sell or transfer all or any part of its
business or assets.

         11. SECURITIES LAW REQUIREMENTS.

         (a) Legality of Issuance.

         No Shares  shall be issued upon the  exercise of any Option  unless and
until the Corporation has determined that (i) it and the Optionee have taken all
actions  required to register the Shares under the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as
amended  (the  "Act"),   or  to  perfect  an  exemption  from  the  registration
requirements  thereof;  (ii) any  applicable  listing  requirement  of any stock
exchange  on which  Stock is  listed  has been  satisfied;  and  (iii) any other
applicable provision of state or Federal law has been satisfied.

         (b) Restrictions on Transfer; Representations of Optionee.

         Regardless  of whether the  offering  and sale of Shares under the Plan
have been  registered  under the Act or have been  registered or qualified under
the securities laws of any state, the Corporation may impose  restrictions  upon
the sale,  pledge or other  transfer of such Shares  (including the placement of
appropriate   legends  on  stock  certificates)  if,  in  the  judgment  of  the
Corporation  and its counsel,  such  restrictions  are necessary or desirable in
order to achieve  compliance with the provisions of the Act, the

                                       9




securities  laws of any state or any other  law.  In the event  that the sale of
Shares  under  the Plan is not  registered  under  the Act but an  exemption  is
available which requires an investment  representation or other  representation,
each Optionee shall be required to represent that such Shares are being acquired
for investment,  and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, and to
make such other  representations  as are deemed  necessary or appropriate by the
Corporation and its counsel. Stock certificates evidencing Shares acquired under
the Plan  pursuant  to an  unregistered  transaction  shall bear an  appropriate
restrictive legend.

         Any determination by the Corporation and its counsel in connection with
any of the matters set forth in this Section 11 shall be conclusive  and binding
on all persons.

         (c) Registration or Qualification of Securities.

         The Corporation may, but shall not be obligated to, register or qualify
the sale of Shares under the Act or any other  applicable  law. The  Corporation
shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the sale
of Shares under the Plan to comply with any law.

         (d) Removal of Legends.

         If, in the  opinion  of the  Corporation  and its  counsel,  any legend
placed on a stock  certificate  representing  Shares issued under the Plan is no
longer required,  the holder of such  certificate  shall be entitled to exchange
such  certificate for a certificate  representing  the same number of Shares but
lacking such legend.

         12. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN.

         The Board may from time to time, with respect to any Shares at the time
not subject to Options, suspend or discontinue the Plan or revise or amend it in
any respect  whatsoever  except that,  without the approval of the Corporation's
shareholders, no such revision or amendment shall:

         (a)      Increase the number of Shares  subject to the Plan,  except as
                  provided in Section 10;

         (b)      Materially change the designation in Section 5 with respect to
                  the class of  Employees  eligible to receive  Incentive  Stock
                  Options; or

         (c)      Amend this Section 12 to defeat its purpose.

                                       10




         13.APPLICATION OF FUNDS.

         The  proceeds  received  by the  Corporation  from  the  sale of  Stock
pursuant  to the  exercise  of an  Option  will be used  for  general  corporate
purposes.

         14. APPROVAL OF SHAREHOLDERS.

         The  adoption  of the Plan and any  amendment  described  in Section 12
shall be  subject  to  approval  by the  affirmative  vote of the  holders  of a
majority of the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote or by the
unanimous  written  consent  of all  holders  of the  outstanding  shares of the
Corporation  entitled  to vote.  In the event that the Plan is not  approved  by
stockholders   within  12  months  after  adoption  by  the  Board,  any  Option
theretofore granted shall be null and void.

         15. EXECUTION.

         To record the  adoption of the Plan by the Board,  effective  as of May
13,  1987,  the  Corporation  has caused its  authorized  officers  to affix the
corporate name hereto.


                                                FAIR, ISAAC AND COMPANY,
                                                INCORPORATED

                                                By _____________________________

                                                By _____________________________

                                       11



                                SMITH RANCH PLAZA

                              OFFICE BUILDING LEASE

1. PARTIES. This Lease, dated, for reference purposes only, October 20, 1983, is
made by and between S.R.P. Limited Partnership, a California Limited Partnership
(herein called  "Landlord")  and Fair,  Isaac & Company,  Incorporated,  (herein
called "Tenant").

2. PREMISES.  Landlord does hereby lease to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from
Landlord those certain premises (herein called "Premises")  consisting of 25,994
rentable square feet including corridation and restrooms,  as outlined in red on
Exhibit A-1  attached  hereto,  being  situated  on the first,  second and third
floors of that certain building known as 120 North Redwood Drive, Suite 300, San
Rafael, California 94903.

Said Lease is subject to the terms,  covenants and  conditions  herein set forth
and the Tenant covenants as a material part of the  consideration for this Lease
to keep and perform each and all of said terms,  covenants and  conditions by it
to be kept and  performed  and that this  Lease is made upon  condition  of said
performance.

3. TERM.  The term of this Lease shall be for five (5) years,  commencing on the
lst day of May, 1984, and terminating on the 30th day of April, 1989.

4.  POSSESSION.  If the  Landlord,  for any reason  whatsoever,  cannot  deliver
possession  of the said Premises to the Tenant at the  commencement  of the term
hereof,  this Lease shall not be void or voidable,  nor shall Landlord be liable
to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting  therefrom,  nor shall the expiration
date of the above term be in any way extended, but in that event, all rent shall
be abated during the period between the  commencement  of said term and the time
when Landlord delivers possession;  except that, should Landlord fail to deliver
possession two or more months beyond any date agreed herein or  subsequently  as
the date of  possession,  Tenant may declare this Lease to be terminated and all
sums paid to Landlord by Tenant shall be promptly refunded and Tenant shall have
no  further  obligations  to  Landlord  under this  Lease.  Failure of Tenant to
exercise  this  option at the end of the first two months  delay or at any later
time,  shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to  exercise  the option at any
other date should possession not be delivered.

In the event that Landlord  shall permit Tenant to occupy the Premises  prior to
the  commencement  date of the term,  such occupancy shall be subject to all the
provisions  of  this  Lease.   Said  early  possession  shall  not  advance  the
termination date hereinabove provided.

5. BASIC RENT. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, as rental, without prior notice
or demand,  for the Premises  the sum of:  Thirty-Seven  Thousand,  Four Hundred
Thirty-One and no/100 ($37,431.00) Dollars (hereinafter called "Basic Rent"), on
or before the first day of the first full calendar  month of the term hereof and
a like sum as adjusted in the manner specified in Article 6 (hereinafter  called
"Adjusted Basic Rent"),  on or before the first day of each and every successive
calendar month thereafter during the term hereof,  except that the first month's
rent shall be paid upon the execution hereof. The Basic Rent shall be paid until
adjusted in the

                                       1

                                                                    EXHIBIT 10.5




manner specified in Paragraph 6. Thereafter,  the prevailing Adjusted Basic Rent
shall be the amount  paid.  Rent for any period  during the term hereof which is
for  less  than  one (1)  month  shall  be a  prorated  portion  of the  monthly
installment  herein,  based upon a thirty (30) day month.  Said rental  shall be
paid to  Landlord,  without  deduction  or offset in lawful  money of the United
States of  America,  which  shall be legal  tender at the time of payment at the
Office  of the  Building,  or to such  other  person or at such  other  place as
Landlord may from time to time designate in writing.

6.  ADJUSTED  BASIC  RENT.  On  each  annual   anniversary  date  following  the
commencement  of the lease  term,  the rent  specified  in  Paragraph  5 for the
ensuing  twelve (12) months shall be increased by the use of the Consumer  Price
Index (All  Urban  Consumers  Component)  for San  Francisco-Oakland  (1967=100)
published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor. The
indices used will be the latest published index prior to the commencement of the
lease term and,  in  subsequent  years the latest  published  index prior to the
commencement  of each such subsequent year of the lease term. The Adjusted Basic
Rent will be increased by the  percentage  increase,  if any,  between the index
used at the  commencement  of the lease  term and that used for each  subsequent
year.  In no event shall the  combination  of  increases  under this Section and
Section 7 exceed a 10% increase over the combined rental under said Sections for
the immediately preceding lease year.

In case the U.S.  Department  of Labor shall  discontinue  the  computation  and
publication of said Consumers Price Index or the  publication  thereof should be
delayed so as to prevent its use hereunder at the times required, there shall be
substituted  therefor  by Landlord  such other  index or method of  ascertaining
changes  in the  price  level as,  in the  opinion  of  Landlord,  most  closely
resembles the Consumer Price Index and method of arriving at the index figure by
said Bureau.

7.  ADDITIONAL  RENT.  Tenant  agrees to pay to  Landlord as  additional  rental
(hereinafter  "Additional  Rent") a sum  equal to  Tenant's  Proportional  share
(hereinafter defined) of Direct Costs (hereinafter defined).

For the purposes of this  Article,  Tenant's  Proportional  Share shall be a sum
equal to 61.14% of the total rentable area of the Building.

For the purposes of this Article,  the term "Direct  Costs" shall  include:  (i)
property  taxes paid or incurred by Landlord  consisting of all real or personal
property  taxes (and any tax levied  wholly or partly in lieu  thereof)  imposed
against the Building and all related improvements, including the adjacent walks,
parking lots,  and the land upon which they are situated,  but shall not include
any net income or  franchise  taxes;  (ii)  operating  costs paid or incurred by
Landlord in maintaining,  managing, and operating Building,  its equipment,  and
the adjacent walks, parking lots, landscaped areas, and the land upon which they
are located,  including  without  limiting the generality of the foregoing,  the
costs of services of both  independent  contractors and employees  (inclusive of
employment taxes, and fringe benefits) who perform duties connected with the day
to day management,  operation,  maintenance, and repair of the Building, and the
costs incurred by reason of any changes in any regulations, rules, requirements,
laws,  codes,  directives,  or similar  pronouncements  of any  Federal,  state,
county,  city, or other  governmental or regulatory agency which require changes
in or to the  physical  construction  of or related  equipment of or used in the
Building or the adjacent walks,  parking lots,  landscaped  areas,  and/or items
used in the operation and maintenance thereof.

                                       2




For the  purposes of this Lease the term "Base Year" shall refer to and mean the
calendar year in which this Lease term commences.

For the purposes of this Article,  the term "Comparison Year" shall refer to and
mean each  successive  calendar  year of the term of this  Lease  after the Base
Year.

For the purposes of this  Article,  the term  "Current  Year" shall refer to and
mean each  successive  calendar  year as it becomes the current  calendar  year,
beginning with the first calendar year next following the Base Year.

Each year during the term of this Lease other than the Base Year, Landlord shall
furnish to Tenant a written  statement  showing in reasonable  detail Landlord's
Direct  Costs for the  applicable  Comparison  Year and for the Base  Year,  and
showing the amount, if any, of Additional Rent due from Tenant.

During the Base Year,  Tenant shall pay Landlord,  on or before the first day of
each month during which a payment of Additional  Rent is due, a sum equal to the
total of the following two  components:  (a) the product of Fifteen Cents ($.15)
times the number of square feet of the  Premises for which  separate  electrical
metering is provided,  and (b) the product of Twenty-five Cents ($.25) times the
number of square feet of the Premises for which separate  electrical metering is
not provided.

To compute the  Additional  Rent for all years other than the Base year,  if the
Direct  Costs paid or incurred by the Landlord  for the  Comparison  Year are in
excess of the Annualized  Additional Rent paid by Tenant for the Base Year, then
the Tenant shall pay, as Additional Rent,  Tenant's  Proportional Share thereof.
Upon Tenant's  receipt of Landlord's  statement for the first  Comparison  Year,
Tenant  shall pay in full the  total  amount  of  Additional  Rent for the first
Comparison  Year,  and, in  addition,  for the  Current  Year the amount of such
Additional Rent shall be used as an estimate for the Current Year. The amount of
the Additional  Rent shall be divided in twelve (12) equal monthly  installments
and  Tenant  shall pay to  Landlord,  concurrently  with the  Basic  Rent or the
prevailing  Adjusted Basic Rent, as the case may be, which is next due following
the receipt of said  statement  from  Landlord,  an amount equal to one (1) such
monthly  installment  multiplied  by the  number of months  from  January in the
Current  Year in which  Landlord's  said  statement is submitted to the month of
such statement,  both months  inclusive.  Subsequent  installments of Additional
Rent  shall be  payable  concurrently  with  the  Basic  Rent or the  prevailing
Adjusted  Basic Rent,  as the case may be, for the balance for that Current Year
and shall continue until the statement for the next Comparison Year is rendered.
If the next or any succeeding  Comparison  Year results in an increase in Direct
Costs over the immediately preceding Comparison Year, then, upon receipt of said
statement  from  Landlord,  Tenant  shall  pay a  lump  sum  equal  to  Tenant's
Proportional   Share  of  the  Direct  Costs  less  the  total  of  the  monthly
installments  paid during the  immediately  preceding  Comparison  Year, and the
estimated  monthly  installments  of  Additional  Rent to  then be paid  for the
Current Year shall be adjusted to reflect such  increased  Direct Costs.  If the
next or any  succeeding  Comparison  Year  results in a decrease in Direct Costs
over the  immediately  preceding  Comparison  Year,  then,  upon receipt of said
statement from Landlord,  the estimated monthly  installments of Additional Rent
to then be paid for Current  Year shall be adjusted  to reflect  such  decreased
Direct Costs,  and the difference  between  Tenant's  Proportional  Share of the
decreased Direct Costs and the total of the monthly installments paid during the
immediately  preceding

                                       3




Comparison Year shall be credited to the first (and  succeeding,  if applicable)
installments of Additional Rent to be paid for the Current Year.

If the term of this Lease has expired  and/or  Tenant has vacated the  Premises,
when the final  determination  is made of Tenant's share of Direct Costs for the
year in which this Lease  terminated,  Tenant shall immediately pay any increase
due over the estimated amounts paid and, conversely, any overpayment made in the
event said costs decrease shall be immediately rebated by Landlord to Tenant.

8.  SECURITY  DEPOSIT.   Tenant  ,  has  deposited  with  Landlord  the  sum  of
Thirty-Seven  Thousand,  Four Hundred Thirty-One Dollars ($37,431.00).  Said sum
shall be held by Landlord as security for the faithful  performance by Tenant of
all the terms, covenants,  and conditions of this Lease to be kept and performed
by Tenant during the term hereof.  Said sum shall accrue interest at the rate of
eight  percent (8%) per annum,  to be  compounded  annually,  or, at  Landlord's
election,  to be  paid to  Tenant.  All  references  in  this  lease,  including
references in this Paragraph 8, to the security deposit shall be deemed to refer
to said  above-mentioned  sum  together  with any accrued  interest  not paid by
Landlord to Tenant.  If Tenant  defaults  with respect to any  provision of this
Lease,  including,  but not limited to the provisions relating to the payment of
rent,  Landlord may (but shall not be required  to) use,  apply or retain all or
any part of the security deposit for the payment of any rent or any other sum in
default,  or for the payment of any amount  which  Landlord  may spend or become
obligated to spend by reason of Tenant's default,  or to compensate Landlord for
any other  loss or  damage  which  Landlord  may  suffer  by reason of  Tenant's
default.  If any  portion of said  deposit is so used or applied,  Tenant  shall
within five (5) days after written demand  therefor,  deposit cash with Landlord
in an amount  sufficient to restore the security  deposit to its original amount
and  Tenant's  failure to do so shall be a  material  breach of this  Lease.  If
Landlord does so apply all or a portion of the security deposit,  interest shall
be abated  until such time as the applied  portion is  restored to its  original
amount.  Landlord  shall not be required to keep this security  deposit,  or the
interest accrued thereon, separate from its general funds. If Tenant shall fully
and faithfully  perform every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, the
security  deposit  together with said interest  thereon,  or any balance thereof
shall be  returned  and paid to Tenant (or, at  Landlord's  option,  to the last
assignee of Tenant's interest  hereunder) at the expiration of the Lease term or
at any earlier ' date at which Tenant or Landlord shall  terminate this Lease at
their  election  as may be  provided  herein.  In the  event of  termination  of
Landlord's interest in this Lease,  Landlord shall transfer said deposit and the
accrued interest thereon to Landlord's successor in interest,  to hold under the
same conditions as did Landlord.

9. USE.  Tenant shall use the premises for general office  purposes of the Fair,
Isaac  Companies,  which purposes are known and approved by Landlord,  and shall
not use or permit the  Premises  to be used for any other  purpose  without  the
prior written consent of Landlord.

Tenant  shall not do or permit  anything to be done in or about the Premises nor
bring or keep anything  therein which will in any way increase the existing rate
of or  affect  any  fire or other  insurance  upon  the  Building  or any of its
contents,  or cause  cancellation of any insurance policy covering said Building
or any part  thereof  or any of its  contents.  Tenant  shall  not do or  permit
anything to be done in or about the  Premises  which will in any way obstruct or
interfere  with the rights of other  tenants or  occupants  of the  Building  or
injure or annoy them or use or allow the  Premises to be used for any  improper,
immoral,  unlawful or objectionable purpose, nor shall

                                       4




Tenant  cause,  maintain or permit any  nuisance  in, on or about the  Premises.
Tenant  shall not  commit or  suffer  to be  committed  any waste in or upon the
Premises.

10.  COMPLIANCE  WITH THE LAW.  Tenant  shall  not use the  Premises  or  permit
anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way conflict with
any law,  statute,  ordinance or governmental rule or regulation now in force or
which may hereafter be enacted or  promulgated.  Tenant shall,  at its sole cost
and  expense,   promptly  comply  with  all  laws,   statutes,   ordinances  and
governmental  rules,  regulations  or  requirements  now in force  or which  may
hereafter be in force,  and with the requirements of any board of fire insurance
underwriters or other similar bodies now or hereafter constituted,  relating to,
or  affecting  the  condition,  use  or  occupancy  of the  Premises,  excluding
structural changes not related to or affected by Tenant's  improvements or acts.
The judgment of any court of competent  jurisdiction  or the admission of Tenant
in any action against Tenant,  whether  Landlord is a party thereto or not, that
Tenant has violated any law, statute, ordinance or governmental rule, regulation
or  requirement,  shall be  conclusive  of that fact as between the Landlord and
Tenant.

11. CONSTRUCTION.  Prior to the commencement of the term hereof,  Landlord shall
furnish and install within the premises the tenant improvements shown on Exhibit
"A" and as shown on Exhibit  "B" to be dated  October 31,  1983,  to be attached
hereto and made a part hereof.

All work not within the normal scope of the construction  trades employed in the
building  construction,  such as the  furnishing  and  installing  of  telephone
equipment and wiring, furniture,  furnishings, office equipment, trade fixtures,
carpeting (unless installed by Landlord under the first part of this paragraph),
special draperies (in addition to Building  Standard  horizontal slat blinds for
which no substitution is permitted), and other items of personal property, shall
be furnished and installed by the Tenant at Tenant's expense, Tenant shall adopt
a schedule in  conformance  with the  schedule  of  Landlord's  contractors  and
conduct its work in such a manner as to maintain  harmonious labor relations and
so as not to  unreasonably  interfere  with or delay the work of the  Landlord's
contractors. Tenant's contractors, subcontractors, and labor shall be acceptable
to and  approved  by  Landlord  and  shall  be  subject  to  the  administrative
supervision of the Landlord's general contractor.  Contractors or subcontractors
engaged  by Tenant  shall  insure,  as far as may be  reasonably  possible,  the
progress of the work without  interruption on account of strikes,  work stoppage
or other causes for delay.  Landlord shall give  reasonable  access and entry to
the Premises to Tenant and its contractors and  subcontractors  to enable Tenant
to adapt the Premises for Tenant's use.

12.  ALTERATIONS  AND ADDITIONS.  Tenant shall not make or suffer to be made any
alterations, additions or improvements to or of the Premises or any part thereof
without  the  written  consent  of  Landlord  first  had  and  obtained  and any
alterations, additions or improvements to or of said Premises including, but not
limited to, wall  covering,  paneling and built-in  cabinet work,  but excepting
movable or modular furniture and trade fixtures,  shall on the expiration of the
term  become a part of the  realty  and  belong  to the  Landlord  and  shall be
surrendered with the Premises.  In the event Landlord  consents to the making of
any alterations,  additions or improvements to the Premises by Tenant,  the same
shall be made by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense, and any contractor or
person  selected by Tenant to make the same must first be approved of in writing
by the Landlord  which  approval  will not be  unreasonably  withheld.  Upon the
expiration or sooner termination of the term hereof,  Tenant shall, upon written
demand by  Landlord,  given at least  thirty  (30) days  prior to the end of the
term,  at Tenant's  sole cost and expense,  promptly and with all due  diligence
remove any

                                       5




alterations,  additions,  or improvements made by Tenant which are designated by
Landlord to be removed, and Tenant shall,  forthwith and with all due diligence,
at its sole cost and expense,  repair any damage to the Premises  caused by such
removal.

13. REPAIRS. (a) By taking possession of the Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to
have  accepted  the Premises as being in good,  sanitary  order,  condition  and
repair except as may be noted in writing and delivered to Landlord  within seven
(7) days of possession.  Tenant shall,  at Tenant's sole cost and expense,  keep
the Premises and every part thereof in good condition and repair, damage thereto
from causes beyond the  reasonable  control of Tenant and from ordinary wear and
tear  excepted.  Tenant shall upon the  expiration or sooner  termination of the
Lease hereof surrender the Premises to the Landlord in good condition,  ordinary
wear and tear and damage from  causes  beyond the  reasonable  control of Tenant
excepted. Except as specifically provided in an addendum, if any, to this Lease,
Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to alter, remodel, improve, repair,
decorate or paint the Premises or any part thereof and the parties hereto affirm
that Landlord has made no  representations to Tenant respecting the condition of
the Premises or the Building except as specifically herein set forth.

     (b) Notwithstanding  the provisions of Article 13(a) hereinabove,  Landlord
shall repair and maintain the  structural  portions of the Building,  including,
without  limitation,   the  basic  plumbing,  air  conditioning,   heating,  and
electrical  systems and all other  improvements  to the real property upon which
the  Building  is situated  installed  or  furnished  by  Landlord,  unless such
maintenance  and  repairs  are  caused in part or in whole by the act,  neglect,
fault or omission of any duty by the Tenant, its agents, servants,  employees or
invitees, in which case Tenant shall pay to Landlord the reasonable cost of such
maintenance  and repairs.  Landlord  shall not be liable for any failure to make
any such repairs or to perform any maintenance unless Landlord shall fail within
five (5) days (or such shorter period as the importance or the crucial nature of
the repair may  reasonably  require) after notice of the need of such repairs or
maintenance is given to Landlord by Tenant, to commence and diligently prosecute
such maintenance and repair.  Further  notwithstanding the provisions of Article
13(a)  hereinabove,  Landlord  shall  maintain  the overall  appearances  of the
Premises and the public areas of the building and its appurtenant  property at a
high standard,  specifically including,  but in no way limited to, repainting or
replacing  carpeting  in cases  where  fair  wear and tear have  impaired  their
appearance  to a level  inconsistent  with the quality of the  property.  Should
Landlord fail to thus commence or diligently prosecute any maintenance or repair
hereby  required  by  Landlord  to be  performed,  then  Tenant  may cause  such
maintenance  or repair to be performed and deduct the cost thereof from the next
rent  payable by Tenant to  Landlord.  Except as  provided in Article 24 hereof,
there shall be no  abatement  of rent and no  liability of Landlord by reason of
any injury to or interference  with Tenant's business arising from the making of
any repairs, alterations or improvements in or to any portion of the Building or
the Premises or in or to fixtures, appurtenances and equipment therein.

14. HOLD HARMLESS. Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord against and
from any and all  claims  arising  from  Tenant's  use of the  Premises  for the
conduct  of its  business  or from any  activity,  work,  or other  thing  done,
permitted or suffered by the Tenant in or about the Building,  and shall further
indemnify and hold harmless Landlord against and from any and all claims arising
from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation on Tenant's part
to be  performed  under  the terms of this  Lease,  or  arising  from any act or
negligence of the Tenant, or any officer, agent, employee,  guest, or invitee of
Tenant,  and from all and  against  all costs,  attorneys'  fees,  expenses  and
liabilities incurred in or about any such claim or any action or

                                       6




proceeding brought thereon, and, in any case, action or proceeding to be brought
against Landlord by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon notice from Landlord,
shall defend the same at Tenant's expense by counsel reasonably  satisfactory to
Landlord.  Tenant, as a material part of the  consideration to Landlord,  hereby
assumes all risk of damage to  property or injury to persons,  in, upon or about
the Premises, from any cause other than Landlord's negligence, and Tenant hereby
waives all claims in respect thereof against Landlord.

Landlord or its agents shall not be liable for any damage to property  entrusted
to employees of the Building, nor for loss or damage to any property by theft or
otherwise, nor for any injury to or damage to persons or property resulting from
fire, explosion,  falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity,  water or rain which
may leak from any part of the Building or from the pipes, appliances or plumbing
works  therein or from the roof,  street or  subsurface  or from any other place
resulting from dampness or any other cause  whatsoever,  unless caused by or due
to the negligence of landlord,  its agents,  servants or employees.  Landlord or
its  agents  shall  not be  liable  for  interference  with  the  light or other
incorporeal  hereditaments,  loss of business by tenant,  nor shall  landlord be
liable for any latent  defect in the premises or in the  building.  Tenant shall
give prompt  notice to landlord in case of fire or  accidents in the premises or
in the building or of defects therein or in the fixtures or equipment.

15.  ASSIGNMENT  AND  SUBLETTING.  Neither Tenant nor its heirs or assigns shall
either voluntarily or by operation of law, assign, transfer,  mortgage,  pledge,
hypothecate or encumber this Lease or any interest therein, and shall not sublet
the Premises or any part thereof, or any right or privilege appurtenant thereto,
or suffer any person (Tenant, its employees,  servants, invitees,  subsidiaries,
affiliates,  successors,  or their  employees,  agents,  servants  and  invitees
excepted) to occupy or use the said Premises,  or any portion  thereof,  without
the prior written consent of Landlord had and obtained,  which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld.  Neither any change in the ownership of Tenant's stock
nor any merger,  corporate  reorganization  or corporate  acquisition  involving
Tenant shall be construed to constitute an assignment within the meaning of this
Article. A consent to one assignment,  subletting,  occupation or use by another
person shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent  assignment and any
purported  assignment  in violation of the  provisions  of this Article  without
Landlord's  consent  shall be void,  and shall,  at the option of the  Landlord,
constitute a default under this Lease.

16. LIENS. Tenant shall keep the Premises and the property in which the Premises
are situated  free from any liens arising out of any work  performed,  materials
furnished or obligations incurred by Tenant. Landlord may require, at Landlord's
sole option,  that Tenant shall  provide to Landlord,  at Tenant's sole cost and
expense,  a lien and  completion  bond in an amount equal to one and one-half (1
1/2)  times  any and all  estimated  costs of any  improvements,  additions,  or
alterations  in the  Premises,  to insure  Landlord  against any  liability  for
mechanics' and materialmen's liens and to insure completion of the work.

17. SUBROGATION.  As long as their respective  insurers so permit,  Landlord and
Tenant hereby mutually waive their  respective  rights of recovery  against each
other  for any loss  insured  by fire,  extended  coverage  and  other  property
insurance  policies  existing for the benefit of the  respective  parties.  Each
party shall  obtain any special  endorsements,  if required by their  insurer to
evidence compliance with the aforementioned waiver.

18. LIABILITY INSURANCE.  Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense,  obtain and keep in
force during the term of this Lease a policy of  comprehensive  public liability
insurance  insuring

                                       7




Landlord and Tenant  against any liability  arising out of the  ownership,  use,
occupancy or maintenance of the Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto. Such
insurance at all times shall be a combined single  aggregate policy in an amount
of not less than One Million Dollars  ($1,000,000).  The limit of said insurance
shall not,  however,  limit the  liability of the Tenant  hereunder.  Tenant may
carry said insurance under a blanket policy, providing,  however, said insurance
by Tenant  shall have a Landlord's  protective  liability  endorsement  attached
thereto.  If Tenant shall fail to procure and maintain said insurance,  Landlord
may, but shall not be required to, procure and maintain same, but at the expense
of Tenant.  Insurance required hereunder,  shall be in companies rated A+ AAA or
better in "Best's  Insurance  Guide." Tenant shall deliver the Landlord prior to
occupancy of the Premises  copies of policies of  liability  insurance  required
herein or  certificates  evidencing  the existence and amounts of such insurance
with  loss  payable  clauses  satisfactory  to  Landlord.  No  policy  shall  be
cancellable or subject to reduction of coverage except after ten (10) days prior
written notice to Landlord. Landlord will keep the Premises insured for fire and
extended  coverage  equivalent  to 90% or more of full  replacement  cost at all
times during the term of this Lease.  Landlord will also maintain  comprehensive
general  public  liability  insurance.  Tenant's  liability  insurance  shall be
primary coverage and Landlord's liability insurance shall be secondary.

19.  SERVICES AND UTILITIES.  Provided that Tenant is not in default  hereunder,
Landlord agrees to furnish to the Premises during  reasonable hours of generally
recognized  business days, to be determined by Landlord at his sole  discretion,
and subject to the rules and  regulations  of the Building of which the premises
are a part,  electricity  for normal lighting and fractional  horsepower  office
machines,  heat and air  conditioning  required in  Landlord's  judgment for the
comfortable use and occupation of the Premises, and janitorial service. Landlord
shall also  maintain  and keep  lighted the common  stairs,  common  entries and
toilet rooms in the Building. Landlord shall not be liable for, and Tenant shall
not be entitled to, any reduction of rental by reason of  Landlord's  failure to
furnish any of the foregoing when such failure is caused by accident,  breakage,
repairs,  strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances or labor disputes of any
character,  or by any other cause, similar or dissimilar,  beyond the reasonable
control of Landlord.  Landlord shall not be liable under any circumstances for a
loss of or injury to property, however occurring,  through or in connection with
or incidental  to, failure to furnish any of the  foregoing.  Supplementary  air
conditioning  units  will  be  installed  in  the  premises  with  the  cost  of
installation  and the cost of operation  and  maintenance  thereof to be paid by
Tenant to Landlord or public utility upon demand by Landlord or utility.

The  nature of the  business  of Tenant is such that the use of  electronic  and
electrical  equipment is central to the organization.  As a result,  Tenant will
use an amount of  electrical  power  greater  than  would be used by some  other
tenant not engaged in a similar business. Tenant shall not connect with electric
current except through existing  electrical  outlets in the Premises.  If Tenant
shall require water or electric  current in excess of that usually  furnished or
supplied for the use of the  Premises in Tenant's  normal  business  operations,
Tenant shall first procure the written consent of Landlord, which Landlord shall
not unreasonably refuse, to the use thereof and Landlord may cause a water meter
or electrical  current  meter to be installed in the Premises,  so as to measure
the amount of water and electric  current consumed for any such use. The cost of
any such meters and of  installation,  maintenance  and repair  thereof shall be
paid for by the Tenant and Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord promptly upon demand
therefore by Landlord for all such water and electric  current consumed as shown
by said  meters,  at the rates  charged for such  services  by the local  public
utility  furnishing the same,  plus any additional  expense  incurred in keeping
account of the water and electric  current so consumed.  If a separate  meter is
not

                                       8




installed,  such  excess  cost for  such  water  and  electric  current  will be
established by an estimate made by a utility company or electrical engineer.

Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary contained in this Section 19, Landlord
shall  install,  as a  portion  of  Exhibit  A,  "Work  Agreement,"  excess  air
conditioning and electrical distribution equipment for Tenant's  heat-generating
equipment. In addition,  Landlord shall provide separate metering, to the extent
feasible, of electrical  consumption in Tenant's Premises,  with the intent that
Tenant shall  determine  its own hours and methods of operation and pay for such
consumption direct to the utility.

20. PROPERTY TAXES.  Tenant shall pay, or cause to be paid, before  delinquency,
any and all taxes levied or assessed and which  become  payable  during the term
hereof upon all Tenant's leasehold improvements,  equipment, furniture, fixtures
and personal  property located in the Premises;  except that which has been paid
for by Landlord,  or is the standard of the Building. In the event any or all of
the  Tenant's  leasehold  improvements,  except  that which has been paid for by
Landlord, or is the standard of the Building, equipment, furniture, fixtures and
personal  property  shall be assessed and taxed with the Building,  Tenant shall
pay to Landlord its share of such taxes  within ten (10) days after  delivery to
Tenant by Landlord of a statement  in writing  setting  forth the amount of such
taxes applicable to Tenant's property.

21. RULES AND REGULATIONS.  Tenant shall faithfully  observe and comply with the
rules and regulations that Landlord shall from time to time promulgate. Landlord
reserves  the right from time to time to make all  reasonable  modifications  to
said rules. The additions and modifications to those rules shall be binding upon
Tenant  upon  delivery  of a copy of  them  to  Tenant.  Landlord  shall  not be
responsible to Tenant for the  nonperformance  of any said rules and regulations
by any other tenants or  occupants.  Landlord  agrees  diligently to enforce the
Rules and Regulations with regard to all Tenants in the Building.

22.  HOLDING OVER.  If Tenant  remains in possession of the Premises or any part
thereof  after the  expiration  of the term  hereof,  with the  express  written
consent of Landlord,  such occupancy shall be a tenancy from month to month at a
rental  in the  amount  of the last  monthly  installment  of Basic  Rent or the
prevailing  Adjusted  Basic  Rent,  as the  case may be,  plus the last  monthly
installment of Additional  Rent, and all other charges  payable  hereunder,  and
upon all the terms hereof applicable to a month to month tenancy.

23. ENTRY BY LANDLORD. Landlord reserves and shall at any and all times have the
right to enter the Premises for the purposes of inspection, and for that purpose
shall at all times have and retain the  necessary  keys with which to unlock all
doors in, upon, and about the Premises, excluding Tenant's vaults, safes, files,
and such areas as Tenant shall  designate as "secure  areas."  Tenant shall have
the right to place  Tenant's own locks on any such  designated  "secure  areas."
Landlord  shall  have the  right to  inspect  the  physical  status of any areas
designated  as  "secure  areas"  upon  notice to Tenant  and in  company  with a
representative  of Tenant.  Landlord  shall have right of access to the Premises
necessary to provide  janitorial and other services to be provided hereunder but
the times of such  access  shall be those  that  shall be agreed on from time to
time between Landlord and Tenant, and neither party shall withhold its agreement
unreasonably.  Landlord shall have the right, upon reasonable  notice, to submit
Premises to inspection by prospective purchasers or tenants. Landlord shall have
the right to enter the Premises  during normal  business  hours of 9:00 a.m. and
5:00 p.m.  during  working days in order to post notices of  non-responsibility.
Landlord  shall  have the right to enter the  Premises,  other

                                       9




than the secure areas, at any time Landlord deems it necessary or desirable,  in
order to alter,  improve,  or repair the premises and may for that purpose erect
scaffolding  and other necessary  structures  where  reasonably  required by the
character of the work to be performed, always providing that access by Tenant to
the Premises or freedom of movement  within the  Premises  are not  unreasonably
restricted.  Landlord shall have the right to use the keys in his possession for
the  purpose  of  entering  the   Premises  for  the  purposes  of   alteration,
improvement,  or repair. Landlord undertakes,,  in those cases where alteration,
improvement,  or repair can be planned in  advance,  to notify  Tenant as far in
advance as is possible, and in those cases where an alteration,  improvement, or
repair is of an  emergency  or other  nature such that  advance  planning is not
possible,  to notify  Tenant  promptly  that the  Premises  have  been  entered.
Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant for any such proper  entrance  except
for any failure to exercise  due care for  Tenant's  property.  Tenant  shall be
responsible to report to landlord any circumstance  requiring action by Landlord
in any secure area.

As regards any proper entry governed by this Paragraph, Tenant hereby waives any
claim  for  damages  or for  injury or  inconvenience  to or  interference  with
Tenant's business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and
any other loss occasioned  thereby,  other than a loss resulting from negligence
by Landlord. Any such proper entry shall not be cause for any abatement of rent.

Any proper  entry to the  Premises  as governed  by this  Paragraph  obtained by
Landlord  by any of these  said  means  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 thereof.

24.  RECONSTRUCTION.  In the event the  Premises or the  Building are damaged by
fire or other perils covered by extended coverage insurance,  Landlord agrees to
forthwith repair the same; and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect,
except that Tenant  shall be entitled to a  proportionate  reduction of all rent
payable  hereunder  while  such  repairs  are  being  made,  such  proportionate
reduction  to be based upon the extent to which the damage  and/or the making of
such repairs  shall  materially  interfere  with the business  carried on by the
Tenant in the Premises.  If the damage is due to the fault and neglect of Tenant
or his employees, there shall be no abatement of rent.

In the event the  Premises or the  Building are damaged as a result of any cause
other than the perils  covered by fire and  extended  coverage  insurance,  then
Landlord shall forthwith repair the same, provided the extent of the destruction
be less than ten percent (10%) of the then full replacement cost of the building
in which the Premises are located.  In the event the destruction of the Premises
or the Building by a peril not covered by fire and extended  coverage  insurance
is to an extent  greater than ten percent  (10%) of the full  replacement  cost,
then Landlord shall have the option; (1) to repair or restore such damage,  this
Lease  continuing in full force and effect;  or (2) give notice to Tenant at any
time within sixty (60) days after such damage,  terminating this Lease as of the
date specified in such notice,  which date shall be no less than thirty (30) and
no more than sixty (60) days  after the giving of such  notice.  In the event of
giving such  notice,  this Lease shall  expire and all interest of the Tenant in
the Premises  shall  terminate  on the date so specified in such notice.  If the
Premises  of the  Building  are  damaged as a result of any cause other than the
perils  covered by fire and  extended  coverage  insurance,  and  whether or not
Landlord  elects to repair or restore such damage or to terminate  this Lease as
herein  provided,  Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate  reduction of all
rent  payable  hereunder to be based

                                       10




upon the  extent to which the damage  and the  making of such  repairs,  if any,
shall  materially  interfere  with the business  carried on by the Tenant in the
Premises.

Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary  contained in this  Article,  Landlord
shall not have any obligation  whatsoever to repair,  reconstruct or restore the
Premises  (1) when the damage  resulting  from any casualty  covered  under this
Article  occurs  during the last twelve (12) months of the extended term of this
Lease, if any extended term there is; or (2) when the damage  resulting from any
casualty covered under this Article occurs during the last twelve (12) months of
the original term of this Lease unless  Tenant,  within ten (10) days  following
Landlord's  notice to Tenant of  Landlord's  election not to repair such damage,
exercises Tenant's option to renew.

Landlord  shall not be  required to repair any injury or damage by fire or other
cause, or to make any repairs or replacements of any panels, decoration,, office
fixtures,  railings, floor covering,  partitions, or any other property which is
installed in the Premises by Tenant.

Except as otherwise  provided in this  Article,  Tenant shall not be entitled to
any  compensation  or damages from  Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or
any part of the Premises,  Tenant's  personal  property or any  inconvenience or
annoyance  occasioned by such damage,  repair,  reconstruction  or  restoration,
except as caused by Landlord, Landlord's agents or employees.

25.  DEFAULT.  In  addition to any other act or event  elsewhere  stated in this
Lease which will cause a default hereunder, the occurrence of any one or more of
the following acts or events shall constitute a default and breach of this Lease
by Tenant.

         (a) The vacating or abandonment of the Premises by Tenant.

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

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

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

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

         (a)  Terminate  Tenant's  right to  possession  of the  Premises by any
lawful  means,  in which  case this  Lease  shall  terminate  and  Tenant  shall
immediately  surrender  possession  of the Premises to  Landlord.  In such event
Landlord  shall be  entitled  to recover  from  Tenant all  damages  incurred by
Landlord by reason of Tenant's default  including,  but not limited to, the cost
of  recovering  possession of the  Premises;  expenses of  reletting,  including
necessary renovation and alteration of the Premises;  reasonable attorney's fees
and costs; any real estate commissions and costs actually paid; the worth at the
time of award by the court  having  jurisdiction  thereof of the amount by which
the unpaid rent for the balance of the term after the time of such award exceeds
the amount of such rental loss for the same period that Tenant  proves  could be
reasonably avoided;  that portion of the leasing commission paid by Landlord and
applicable to the unexpired term of this Lease.  Unpaid  installments of rent or
other  sums  shall  bear  interest  from the  date due at the rate of ten  (10%)
percent  per annum.  In the event  Tenant  shall have  abandoned  the  Premises,
Landlord  shall have the option of (a) taking  possession  of the  Premises  and
recovering from Tenant the amount specified in this paragraph, or (b) proceeding
under the provisions of the following Article 26(b).

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

         (c) Pursue any other  remedy now or  hereafter  available  to  Landlord
under the laws or  judicial  decision  of the State in which  the  Premises  are
located.

27. EMINENT DOMAIN. If more than twenty-five  percent (25%) of the floor area of
the building of which the Premises are a part shall be taken or  appropriated by
any public or quasi-public authority under the power of eminent domain, Landlord
shall have the right,  at its election,  to terminate  this Lease.  If more than
twenty-five  percent (25%) of the parking area appurtenant to the building is so
taken or  appropriated,  then  either  party  hereto  shall  have  the  right to
terminate  this  lease.   If  any  portion  of  the  Premises  is  so  taken  or
appropriated,  then Tenant shall have the right,  at its election,  to terminate
this  Lease.  In the event  that  there is any  taking or  appropriation  of any
portion of the Building,  or of the real  property on which it is situated,  and
this  Lease  is not  terminated  pursuant  to the  provisions  hereof,  any sums
thereafter due as rental under this Lease shall be equitably reduced.

Any award paid in connection with any such taking shall belong to and be paid to
Landlord, except that Tenant shall receive from the award the following:

         a. A sum  attributable to Tenant's  improvements or alterations made to
the  Premises  by  Tenant  in  accordance   with  this  Lease,   which  Tenant's
improvements  or  alterations  Tenant has the right to remove from the  Premises
pursuant to the provisions of this Lease but elects not to remove; or, if Tenant
elects  to remove  any such  Tenant's  improvements  or  alterations,  a sum for
reasonable  removal or  relocation  costs not to exceed the market value of such
improvements or alterations.

                                       12




         b. A sum paid to Tenant from the condemnor for loss of goodwill.

         c.  A sum  attributable  to  that  portion  of the  award  constituting
severance  damages for the  restoration  of the Premises,  unless this Lease has
been terminated pursuant to the provisions hereof.

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

29. PARKING.  Tenant shall have the right to use in common with other tenants or
occupants of the Building the parking facilities of the Building.  Tenant agrees
that  Tenant's  employees  and agents  will not park in any area  designated  by
Landlord  for visitor  parking or no parking.  In the event of violation of this
provision,  Tenant  agrees that the  offending  vehicle may be towed away at the
expense of Tenant. Ninety-four (94) parking spaces will be assigned to Tenant at
Tenant's  or  Landlord's  request at such time as general  parking is  regularly
inadequate, which assignment shall not be unreasonably withheld.

30.  AUTHORITY OF TENANT.  Tenant and each  individual  executing  this Lease on
behalf of Tenant  represents and warrants that he is duly  authorized to execute
and deliver this Lease.

31.  GENERAL PROVISIONS.

         (a) Plats and Riders.  Clauses, plats and riders, if any, signed by the
Landlord  and the  Tenant  and  endorsed  on or fixed to this  Lease  are a part
hereof.

         (b) Waiver.  The waiver by Landlord of any term,  covenant or condition
herein  contained  shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term,  covenant or
condition on any  subsequent  breach of the same or any other term,  covenant or
condition herein  contained.  The subsequent  acceptance of rentals hereunder by
Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of
any  term,  covenant  or  condition  of this  Lease,  regardless  of  Landlord's
knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of the acceptance of such rent.

         (c) Notices. All notices and demands which may or are to be required or
permitted  to be  given  by  either  party to the  other  hereunder  shall be in
writing.  All notices and demands by the Landlord to the Tenant shall be sent by
United States Mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Tenant at the Premises, or
to such other place as Tenant may from time to time designate in a notice to the
Landlord. All notices and demands by the Tenant to the Landlord shall be sent by
United States Mail, postage prepaid,  addressed to the Landlord at the Office of
the Building,  or to such other person or place as the Landlord may from time to
time designate in a notice to the Tenant.

                                       13




         (d) Joint Obligation.  If there be more than one Tenant the obligations
hereunder imposed upon Tenants shall be joint and several.

         (e) Marginal Headings. The marginal headings and titles to the Articles
of this  Lease are not a part of this  Lease and shall  have no effect  upon the
construction or interpretation of any part hereof.

         (f) Time.  Time is of the essence of this Lease and each and all of its
provisions in which performance is a factor.

         (g)  Successors  and  Assigns.  The  covenants  and  conditions  herein
contained,  subject to the  provisions as to  assignment,  apply to and bind the
heirs, successors, executors, administrators and assigns of the parties hereto.

         (h) Recordation. Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall record this Lease or
a short form  memorandum  hereof without the prior written  consent of the other
party.

         (i) Quiet  Possession.  Upon Tenant paying the rent reserved  hereunder
and observing and performing all of the covenants,  conditions and provisions on
Tenant's  part to be observed and performed  hereunder,  Tenant shall have quiet
possession  of the  Premises  for the  entire  term  hereof,  subject to all the
provisions of this Lease.

         (j) Late Charge. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant
to Landlord  or rent or other sums due  hereunder  will cause  Landlord to incur
costs  not  contemplated  by this  Lease,  the  exact  amount  of which  will be
extremely  difficult to ascertain.  Such costs include,  but are not limited to,
processing  and accounting  charges,  and late charges which may be imposed upon
Landlord by terms of any  mortgage or trust deed  covering  the  Premises or the
Building accordingly.  Accordingly,  if any amounts due from Tenant shall not be
received by Landlord or Landlord's  designee  within ten (10) days after written
notice  that said amount is past due,  then Tenant  shall pay to Landlord a late
charge equal to five percent (5%) of such  overdue  amount.  The parties  hereby
agree that such late  charges  represent a fair and  reasonable  estimate of the
cost  that  Landlord  will  incur by  reason  of the  late  payment  by  Tenant.
Acceptance of such late charges by the Landlord  shall in no event  constitute a
waiver of Tenant's  default  with respect to such  overdue  amount,  nor prevent
Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.

         (k) Prior Agreements.  This Lease contains all of the agreements of the
parties  hereto with  respect to any matter  covered or mentioned in this Lease,
and no prior agreements or understanding pertaining to any such matters shall be
effective for any purpose. No provision of this Lease may be amended or added to
except  by an  agreement  in  writing  signed  by the  parties  hereto  or their
respective successors in interest.  This Lease shall not be effective or binding
on any party until fully executed by both parties hereto.

         (l) Inability to Perform.  Except as provided in Paragraph 4 or Exhibit
A to this Lease,  this Lease and the  obligations of the Tenant  hereunder shall
not be affected or impaired because the Landlord is unable to fulfill any of its
obligations  hereunder or is delayed in doing so, if such  inability or delay is
caused by reason of strike, labor disputes, civil disobedience,  acts of God, or
any other cause beyond the reasonable control of the Landlord.

                                       14




         (m) Attorneys'  Fees. In the event of any action or proceeding  brought
by either party against the other under this Lease,  the prevailing  party shall
be  entitled  to  recover  all  costs  and  expenses  including  the fees of its
attorneys in such action or  proceeding  in such amount as the court may adjudge
reasonable.

         (n)  Sale of  Building  by  Landlord.  In the  event of any sale of the
Building,  Landlord  shall be and is hereby  entirely  freed and relieved of all
liability  under any and all of its  covenants and  obligations  contained in or
derived from this Lease arising out of any act, occurrence or omission occurring
after the  consummation  of such sale;  and the  purchaser,  at such sale or any
subsequent sale of the Building shall be deemed,  without any further  agreement
between the parties or their  successors  in interest or between the parties and
any such  purchaser,  to have assumed and agreed to carry out any and all of the
covenants and  obligations of the Landlord under this Lease.  In connection with
any such sale,  Landlord agrees to obtain Purchaser's express written assumption
of this Lease.

         (o) This lease  shall be prior to any  encumbrance  recorded  after the
date of this Lease affecting the Building, other improvements, and land of which
the Premises  are a part.  If,  however,  a lender  requires  that this Lease be
subordinate  to any such  encumbrance,  this Lease shall be  subordinate to that
encumbrance,  if Landlord first obtains from the lender,  in favor of tenant,  a
written agreement that provides substantially the following:

         "As long as Tenant  performs  its  obligations  under  this  Lease,  no
foreclosure  of,  deed  given  in lieu of  foreclosure  of,  or sale  under  the
encumbrance,  and no steps or  procedures  taken  under the  encumbrance,  shall
affect Tenant's rights under this Lease."

Tenant shall attorn to any purchaser at any foreclosure  sale, or to any grantee
or transferee designated in any deed given in lieu of foreclosure.  Tenant shall
execute the written agreement and any other documents  required by the lender to
accomplish the purposes of this paragraph.

         (p) Name. Tenant shall not use the name of the Building for any purpose
other than as an address of the  business to be  conducted  by the Tenant in the
Premises.

         (q)  Separability.  Any provision of this Lease which shall prove to be
invalid,  void or illegal shall in no way affect, impair or invalidate any other
provision hereof and such other provision shall remain in full force and effect.

         (r)  Cumulative  Remedies.  No remedy or  election  hereunder  shall be
deemed  exclusive but shall,  wherever  possible,  be cumulative  with all other
remedies at law or in equity.

         (s) Choice of Law.  This  Lease  shall be  governed  by the laws of the
State of California.

         (t)  Signs  and  Auctions.  Tenant  shall  not  place any sign upon the
Premises or Building or conduct any auction  thereon  without  Landlord's  prior
written consent.

32.  OPTION TO RENEW.  If Tenant is not in  default  under  this lease as of one
hundred  twenty (120) days prior to the  expiration  of the initial term hereof,
then  Tenant  shall  have an  option to  extend  the term of this  lease for one
additional  period of five (5) years. Such option must be exercised by Tenant by
written notice to Landlord, which notice must be given not less than one hundred
twenty (120) days prior to the expiration of the initial lease term.

                                       15




If Tenant is then in default under the terms of this Lease, or fails to exercise
said  option in the manner and within the time above set forth,  then this Lease
shall expire at the end of the initial five-year (5) term.

If Tenant is entitled  to, and in fact does  exercise  this option in the manner
and within  the time  limits  herein set forth,  and if Tenant is not in default
under the terms of this lease as of the expiration of the initial  five-year (5)
term, then this Lease shall automatically be extended for an additional five (5)
years,  commencing at the expiration of the initial five-year (5) term, and each
and every term, provision and covenant of this Lease, except as to rental, shall
be applicable during such five-year extended term.

During such  extended  term,  rental shall be that which would have obtained had
the original term contained the renewal period.

33. OPTION TO LEASE  ADDITIONAL  SPACE.  Landlord shall provide Tenant notice of
any  available  space on the  second  level of the  East  Wing of the  Building,
whereupon  Tenant shall have ten days to exercise its option to lease said space
at rates and on terms  equivalent  to that  contained  in this Lease,  but in no
event  shall  the term be less  than one (1) year.  Landlord  further  agrees to
restrict  Lease terms to other Tenants on the second level of the East Wing to a
maximum of three years.

34.  OPTION TO  PURCHASE.  If Tenant is not in  default  under the terms of this
Lease as of one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the initial
five-year  (5) term  hereof,  then Tenant  shall have an option to purchase  the
Building of which the leased  premises are a part,  on the  following  terms and
conditions:

         (a) The option  must be  exercised  by written  notice  from  Tenant to
Landlord,  which  notice must be given not later than one hundred  eighty  (180)
days prior to the  expiration  of the  initial  five-year  lease  term.  If such
written notice is not given, this option shall terminate.

         (b) If Tenant  exercises this option,  then the purchase  price,  which
shall be payable in cash at the time of escrow close (unless Landlord is willing
to negotiate and accept payment terms other than cash), shall be the fair market
value of the Building.  Fair market value shall be  established by the agreement
of Landlord and Tenant.  Provided  that if they are unable to agree on or before
one hundred  twenty (120) days before the  expiration  of the initial  five-year
lease term,  then Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint an  appraiser,  the two
appraisers shall appoint a third appraiser,  and a mutual decision of any two of
said three  appraisers  shall establish fair market value, and thus the purchase
price for the Building.

         Each party shall pay the costs and fees of their respective  appraiser,
and they  shall  share  equally  in the costs  and fees of the third or  neutral
appraiser.

         (c) Escrow shall close, and the sale shall be consummated,  at any time
during the last five (5) calendar days of the initial five-year (5) lease term.

         (d) Landlord  reserves the right to enter into a tax deferred  exchange
under IRC Section 1031. In such event,  Tenant agrees to cooperate with Landlord
in consummating such tax

                                       16




deferred exchange, provided that Tenant shall not incur any costs or expenses in
connection with such tax deferred exchange.

         (e) If Tenant  exercises  this purchase  option,  Tenant agrees that it
will not  receive  any  equitable  interest  in the  Building  by reason of such
exercise of option,  and that Tenant shall not thereby be entitled to any rights
as  a  purchaser   in   possession.   Rather,   all  rights,   liabilities   and
responsibilities  of Landlord and Tenant between the date of option exercise and
the date of escrow  close  shall be those of Landlord  and Tenant,  and shall be
determined exclusively under the provisions of this Lease, and Tenant shall have
no rights as a purchaser in possession.

         (f)  Time,  as set forth in the  various  provisions  of this  purchase
option,  is expressly  declared to be of the essence of this option,  and of the
purchase contract that will result from any exercise thereof.

35.  BROKERS.  Tenant  warrants that it has had no dealings with any real estate
broker or agents in connection with the negotiation of this Lease excepting only
James C.  Westenbroek and James J. Williams and it knows of no other real estate
broker or agent who is entitled to a commission in connection with this Lease.

The  parties  hereto  have  executed  this  Lease at the  place and on the dates
specified immediately adjacent to their respective signatures.

If this Lease has been filled in, it has been  prepared for  submission  to your
attorney for his approval.  No  representation  or recommendation is made by the
real estate broker or its agents or employees as to the legal sufficiency, legal
effect, or tax consequences of this Lease or the transactions relating thereto.

         3. BUILDING NON-STANDARD WORK AT TENANTIS COST AND EXPENSE

         Provided  Tenant's plans and  specifications  are furnished by the date
provided  hereinabove in Paragraph  l(d) and approved by Landlord,  the Landlord
shall cause Tenant's "Building  Non-Standard Work" to be installed by Landlord's
contractor,  but at  Tenant's  sole cost and expense for any amount in excess of
Ninety-Five  Thousand,  Eight Hundred  Fifty-Seven  Dollars ($95,857).  Prior to
commencing  any such work,  Landlord,  its  contractor,  or its  architects  and
engineers,  shall submit to Tenant a written  estimate of the cost  thereof.  If
Tenant  shall  fail to  approve  any such  estimate  within  ten (10) days after
submission  thereof,  such failure  shall be deemed a disapproval  thereof,  and
Landlord's  contractor  shall not proceed with such work.  Tenant  agrees to pay
Landlord promptly upon being billed therefore,  the cost to Landlord of all such
excess  Building  Non-Standard  Work.  Such  bills may be  rendered  during  the
progress of the performance of the work and the furnishings and  installation of
the materials to which such bills relate. Landlord may require Tenant to deposit
the estimated cost of such work with Landlord prior to the  commencement of such
work.

         Within the demised  premises Tenant may select  different new materials
(except  exterior  window  coverings)  in  place  of  "Building  Standard  Work"
materials which would otherwise be initially furnished and installed by Landlord
for or in the  interior  of the  Premises  under  the  provisions  of this  Work
Agreement, provided such selection is indicated on said Tenant's final plans. No
such different new materials shall be furnished and installed in replacement for
any of Landlord's  "Building  Standard Work" materials  until  Landlord,  or its
contractor  and/or its  architects  shall have advised Tenant in writing of, and
Landlord or its contractor and/or its office planning  architects have agreed in
writing on, the work of such different new material and the  Landlord's  cost of
such replaced Landlord's "Building Standard Work" materials.

         All  amounts  payable  by  Tenant to  Landlord  pursuant  to  preceding
paragraphs  shall  be paid by  Tenant  promptly  after  the  rendering  of bills
therefore by Landlord or its  contractors to Tenant,  it being  understood  that
such bills may be rendered  during the progress of the  performance  of the work
and/or the  furnishings  and  installation  of the materials to which such bills
relate.  Any such different new materials  shall be surrendered by the Tenant to
the  Landlord at the end of the initial or other  expiration  of the term of the
Lease.

         4. COMPLETION AND RENTAL COMMENCEMENT DATE

         If the occupancy date of the Premises is delayed by:

         (a)      Tenant's  failure  to furnish  the  information  specified  in
                  Paragraph 1 hereof in a timely fashion; or

         (b)      Tenant's request for  substitution or additional  improvements
                  or changes in materials, finisher, or installations other than
                  those which are not Building Standard; or

         (c)      Tenant's changes in the final drawings and specifications; or

                                       20




         (d)      A delay in performance  of building  standard work as a result
                  of Tenant's  failure to approve written  estimates of the cost
                  of  non-building  standard work in accordance with Paragraph 3
                  hereof,

then the  commencement  of the term of the Office  Lease and the payment of rent
shall be unchanged.

         (a) Committee Membership.

                                       2




         The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall be
appointed  by the Board and shall  consist  only of three or more  disinterested
directors.  The Board may from time to time remove  members from, or add members
to, the Committee.  Vacancies on the Committee,  however caused, shall be filled

         (b) Committee Responsibilities.

         The  Committee  shall  construe the Plan and carry out its  provisions.
However, the Committee shall have no discretion in selecting the Optionees or in
awarding Options.  The  interpretation  and construction by the Committee of any
provision of the Plan or of any Option  granted  thereunder  shall be final.  No
member of the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination  made in
good faith with respect to the Plan or any Option granted thereunder.

         (c) Disinterested Directors.

         A member of the Board  shall be  deemed to be  "disinterested"  for the
purposes of this Plan only if he or she, at all times  required  for purposes of
Rule 16b-3 of the Securities and Exchange  Commission or any successor rule, was
not  eligible  for the grant of rights or options to  purchase  stock under this
Plan. A Non-Employee  Director shall not fail to qualify as "disinterested"  for
the purpose of  administering  any other stock option plan of the Company solely
because he or she is eligible for the grant of Options under this Plan.

         5. STOCK.

         The  aggregate  number of Shares  which may be issued upon  exercise of
Options under the Plan shall not exceed 40,000.  The number of Shares subject to
Options  outstanding  at any time shall not  exceed  the  number of Shares  then
remaining  available  for  issuance  under  the  Plan.  In the  event  that  any
outstanding Option for any reason expires or is terminated, the Shares allocable
to the unexercised  portion of such Option may again be made subject to Options.
The  limitation  established by this Section 5 shall be subject to adjustment in
the manner  provided  in  Section 9 upon the  occurrence  of an event  specified
therein.

         6. ELIGIBILITY AND GRANT OF OPTIONS.

         Each Non-Employee Director shall receive a single Option covering 8,000
Shares (subject to adjustment  under Section 9). Such Option shall be considered
a Nonstatutory Stock Option for tax purposes. Such Option shall automatically be
granted as of the later of (a)  February  1, 1988,  or (b) the date on which the
Non-Employee  Director completes

                                       3




his or her sixth month of  continuous  service as a  Non-Employee  Director.  No
individuals other than  Non-Employee  Directors shall be eligible to participate
in the Plan.

         7. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS.

         (a) Stock Option Agreements.

         Options shall be evidenced by written  stock option  agreements in such
form as the Committee shall from time to time determine.  Such agreements  shall
comply with, and be subject to, the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan.

         (b) Exercise Price.

         Each Option shall specify the Exercise  Price,  which shall be equal to
100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant.

         (c) Medium and Time of Payment.

         The Purchase  Price shall be payable in full in United  States  dollars
upon the exercise of the Option,  except that all or part of the Purchase  Price
may be paid by the surrender of Shares in good form for  transfer,  owned for 12
months or more by the person  exercising  the  Option  and having a Fair  Market
Value on the date of exercise  equal to that portion of the Purchase Price which
is being paid with Shares.

         (d) Withholding Taxes.

         As a  condition  to the  exercise  of an Option or the  disposition  of
Shares  acquired under the Plan, the Optionee  shall make such  arrangements  as
applicable law may require for the  satisfaction of any federal,  state or local
withholding tax  obligations  that may arise in connection with such exercise or
disposition.

         (e) Exercisability, Term and Nontransferability.

         Each  Option  shall  become  exercisable  six months  after the date of
grant,  subject to Section 13. The Option shall  terminate on the day before the
10th  anniversary of the date of grant,  except as otherwise  provided in (f) or
(g) below.

         During the lifetime of the  Optionee,  the Option shall be  exercisable
only by the Optionee and shall not be assignable or  transferable.  In the event
of the Optionee's death, the Option shall not be transferable other than by will
or by the laws of descent and distribution.

         (f) Termination of Board Membership

                                       4




         If an Optionee  ceases to be a member of the Board for any reason other
than his or her death,  then the  Optionee  shall have the right to  exercise an
Option (to the extent exercisable but not previously  exercised and not expired)
at any time  within 90 days  after the date when he or she ceases to be a member
of the Board.

         For purposes of this  Subsection  (f),  status as a member of the Board
shall be deemed to continue while the Optionee is on military leave,  sick leave
or other bona fide leave of absence.

         Options  already  granted  pursuant  to  this  Plan  to a  Non-Employee
Director shall not be affected by reason of the Optionee  thereafter becoming an
employee  of the  Corporation  or a  Subsidiary  so long as he or she  remains a
member of the Board.

         (g) Death of Optionee.

         If an  Optionee  dies  while he or she is a member of the Board and has
not fully  exercised an Option,  then such Option (to the extent not  previously
exercised and not expired) may be exercised in full at any time within 12 months
after the  Optionee's  death by the  executors or  administrators  of his or her
estate or by any person or persons who have acquired  such Option  directly from
the Optionee by bequest or inheritance.

         (h) Rights as a Stockholder.

         An Optionee, or a transferee of an Optionee,  shall have no rights as a
stockholder  with  respect to any Shares  covered by his or her Option until the
date of the issuance of a stock certificate for such Shares. No adjustment shall
be made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash, securities or
other  property),  distributions  or other  rights for which the record  date is
prior to the date when such stock  certificate is issued,  except as provided in
Section 9.

         8. TERM OF PLAN.

         Options may be granted  pursuant to the Plan until January 31, 1998, or
until such earlier date as the Board may determine at its sole discretion.

         9. RECAPITALIZATIONS.

         Subject to any required  action by  stockholders,  the number of Shares
covered by the Plan as  provided  in Section 5, the number of Shares  covered by
each  outstanding  Option  and the  Exercise  Price  thereof  shall be  adjusted
proportionately  for any  increase or  decrease  in the number of issued  Shares
resulting  from a  subdivision  or  consolidation  of Shares or the payment of a
stock  dividend or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares
effected without receipt of consideration by the Corporation.

                                       5




         Subject to any required action by  stockholders,  if the Corporation is
the  surviving  corporation  in any merger or  consolidation,  each  outstanding
Option shall pertain to the securities to which a holder of the number of Shares
subject to the Option would have been entitled.  A dissolution or liquidation of
the Corporation or a merger or consolidation in which the Corporation is not the
surviving  corporation shall cause each outstanding Option to terminate,  unless
the agreement or merger or consolidation  provides for the assumption thereof by
the surviving corporation.

         To the extent that the  foregoing  adjustments  relate to securities of
the  Corporation,  such  adjustments  shall  be  made  by the  Committee,  whose
determination shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.

         Except as expressly provided in this Section 9, the Optionee shall have
no rights by reason of any  subdivision or  consolidation  of shares of stock of
any class,  the payment of any stock  dividend or any other increase or decrease
in the  number of shares of stock of any class or by reason of any  dissolution,
liquidation,  merger or  consolidation or spin-off of assets or stock of another
corporation,  and any issue by the  Corporation of shares of stock of any class,
or securities  convertible into shares of stock of any class,  shall not affect,
and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or
Exercise Price of Shares subject to an Option.

         The grant of an Option pursuant to the Plan shall not affect in any way
the right or power of the  Corporation to make  adjustments,  reclassifications,
reorganizations  or changes of its  capital or business  structure,  to merge or
consolidate or to dissolve,  liquidate,  sell or transfer all or any part of its
business or assets.

         10. SECURITIES LAW REQUIREMENTS.

         (a) Legality of Issuance.

         No Shares  shall be issued upon the  exercise of any Option  unless and
until the Corporation has determined that (i) it and the Optionee have taken all
actions  required to register the Shares under the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as
amended  (the  "Act"),   or  to  perfect  an  exemption  from  the  registration
requirements  thereof;  (ii) any  applicable  listing  requirement  of any stock
exchange  on which  Stock is  listed  has been  satisfied;  and  (iii) any other
applicable provision of state or federal law has been satisfied.

         (b) Restrictions on Transfer; Representations of Optionee.

         Regardless  of whether the  offering  and sale of Shares under the Plan
have been  registered  under the Act or have been  registered or qualified under
the securities laws of any state, the Corporation may impose  restrictions  upon
the sale,  pledge or other  transfer of such Shares  (including the placement of
appropriate   legends  on  stock  certificates)  if,  in  the  judgment  of  the
Corporation  and its counsel,  such  restrictions  are necessary or desirable in
order to achieve  compliance with the provisions of the Act, the securities

                                       6




laws of any state or any other law.  In the event that the sale of Shares  under
the Plan is not  registered  under the Act but an exemption  is available  which
requires an investment  representation  or other  representation,  each Optionee
shall be  required  to  represent  that  such  Shares  are  being  acquired  for
investment, and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, and to make
such  other  representations  as are  deemed  necessary  or  appropriate  by the
Corporation and its counsel. Stock certificates evidencing Shares acquired under
the Plan  pursuant  to an  unregistered  transaction  shall bear an  appropriate
restrictive legend.

         Any determination by the Corporation and its counsel in connection with
any of the matters set forth in this Section 10 shall be conclusive  and binding
on all persons.

         (c) Registration or Qualification of Securities.

         The Corporation may, but shall not be obligated to, register or qualify
the sale of Shares under the Act or any other  applicable  law. The  Corporation
shall not be obligated to take any affirmative action in order to cause the sale
of Shares under the Plan to comply with any law.

         (d) Removal of Legends.

         If, in the  opinion  of the  Corporation  and its  counsel,  any legend
placed on a stock  certificate  representing  Shares issued under the Plan is no
longer required,  the holder of such  certificate  shall be entitled to exchange
such  certificate for a certificate  representing  the same number of Shares but
lacking such legend.

         11. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN.

         The Board may from time to time, with respect to any Shares at the time
not subject to Options, suspend or discontinue the Plan or revise or amend it in
any respect  whatsoever  except that,  without the approval of the Corporation's
stockholders, no such revision or amendment shall:

         (a) Materially  increase the benefits  accruing to Optionees  under the
     Plan;

         (b)  Materially  increase  the  number of Shares  subject  to the Plan,
     except as provided in Section 9;

         (c) Materially  change the designation in Section 6 with respect to the
     class of individuals eligible to receive Options; or

         (d) Amend this Section 11 to defeat its purpose.

         12. APPLICATION OF FUNDS.

                                       7




         The  proceeds  received  by the  Corporation  from  the  sale of  Stock
pursuant  to the  exercise  of an  Option  will be used  for  general  corporate
purposes.

         13. APPROVAL OF STOCKHOLDERS.

         The  adoption  of the Plan and any  amendment  described  in Section 11
shall be  subject  to  approval  by the  affirmative  vote of the  holders  of a
majority of the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote or by the
unanimous  written  consent  of  all  holders  of  the  outstanding   shares  of
the-Corporation  entitled to vote. In the event that the Plan is not approved by
stockholders  at or before the first annual meeting of  stockholders  held after
its  adoption by the Board,  any Option  theretofore  granted  shall be null and
void.  Any other  provision  of the Plan  notwithstanding,  no  Option  shall be
exercisable until the Corporation's stockholders have approved the Plan.

         14. EXECUTION.

         To  record  the  adoption  of the Plan by the  Board,  effective  as of
February 1, 1988, the  Corporation  has caused its authorized  officers to affix

         the Fair  Market  Value  shall be  equal to the mean  between  the last

                                                                    EXHIBIT 10.8





                                 AMENDMENT NO. 1

                  TO THE FAIR, ISAAC AND COMPANY, INCORPORATED
                  STOCK OPTION PLAN FOR NON-EMPLOYEE DIRECTORS

         Effective  as  of  March  1,  1988,   the  Fair,   Isaac  and  Company,
Incorporated  Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee  Directors is hereby amended as
follows:

         Section 2(f) is amended to read as follows:

                  "Fair  Market  Value"  shall mean the  market  price of Stock,
         determined by the Committee as follows:

                  (i) If  Stock  was  traded  over-the-counter  on the  date  in
         question,  whether or not classified as a national  market issue,  then
         the Fair  Market  Value  shall be  equal to the mean  between  the last
         reported  representative  bid and asked  prices  quoted  by the  NASDAQ
         system for such date;

                  (ii) If Stock was  traded on a stock  exchange  on the date in
         question,  then the Fair  Market  Value  shall be equal to the  closing
         price reported by the applicable composite-transactions report for such
         date; and

                  (iii) If none of the foregoing provisions is applicable,  then
         the Fair Market  Value shall be  determined  by the  Committee  in good
         faith on such basis as it deems appropriate.

         In all cases,  the  determination of Fair Market Value by the Committee
shall be conclusive and binding on all persons.

         To  record  the  adoption  of this  amendment  to the  Fair,  Isaac and
Company,  Incorporated Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors by the Board
on August 18, 1988, the Corporation has caused its authorized  officers to affix
the corporate name hereto.


                                     Fair, Isaac and Company, Incorporated




                                       By ______________________________________
                                               Peter L. McCorkell
                                               Vice President & Secretary

                                                                    EXHIBIT 10.9





                         ADDENDUM NUMBER SEVEN TO LEASE

THIS  ADDENDUM  NUMBER  SEVEN TO LEASE is made and entered  into this 1st day of
March 1990, by and between  S.R.P.  Limited  Partnership,  (Landlord)  and Fair,
Isaac and Company, Incorporated (Tenant), and shall constitute a modification of
that Lease  between the  parties  dated  October  20,  1983 (Base  Lease) and as
amended on May 1, 1984, September 21, 1984, February 8, 1985, September 3, 1985,
November 21,  1985,  and October 1, 1986,  relating to the premises  occupied by
Tenant in the building  commonly known as 120 North Redwood  Drive,  San Rafael,
California 94903. This action  constitutes both the extension of the term of the
Lease, and the expansion of Tenant into future available space.

The parties hereto agree that:

1. The leased  premises  shall be increased by 3,488  rentable  square feet,  to
include the space commonly known as Suite 350, effective upon ninety days notice
to  Tenant,  for  possession  no earlier  than July 1,  1990,  and no later than
October 1, 1990.

2. Tenant agrees to lease Suite 375, comprised of 2,472 rentable square feet, at
such time as that space is first  available  for lease,  upon the same terms and
conditions as is then existing under the Lease.

3. The  expiration  date of the Lease for both  existing  and  future  expansion
Tenant space shall be changed to December 31, 2001.

4. The Option to Renew,  contained  in  Paragraph  32 of the Base Lease shall be
changed such that the first option period,  if exercised,  shall now commence on
January  1,  2002.  The  Option to Renew is only  available  on all of the space
contained in the Lease, at the time of option exercise.  This Option is personal
to Tenant and is not available to sublessee or sublessees of Tenant's leasehold.

5. The  combination of Basic Rent and Additional Rent for the period of March 1,
1990,  to December 31, 1990,  shall be computed at the monthly rate of $1.90 per
rentable square foot, prior to a monthly credit in the amount of $2,150 for west
wing utility  expense and first floor west wing janitorial  expense.  Therefore,
until  expansion space is included in the leased  premises,  the monthly rent on
the existing 36,554 rentable square feet shall be $67,303.

6. Additional Rent as defined and administered by Paragraph 7 of the Lease shall
be unchanged except that Base Year shall now refer to and mean the calendar year
1990.  During the revised Base Year 1990, the portion of total rent attributable
to  Additional  Rent shall be equal to the actual Tenant  Proportional  Share as
retroactively determined at the end of the Base Year.

     Example: Considering only Tenant's present space, if at the end of 1990, it
     is determined that Tenant's  proportional  share of 1990 operating expenses
     on a monthly  basis equaled  $16,500,  then that amount shall be subtracted
     from the $67,303  total monthly  rent,

                                       1

                                                                   Exhibit 10.11




     therefore  providing a remainder of $50,803 as the Base Year Basic  Monthly
     Rent.

     Then,  during 1991, the $16,500 Monthly  Additional Rent will be used as an
     estimate of monthly  operating  expenses,  with an adjustment at the end of
     the year to reflect actual operating expenses,  creating a resultant rebate
     or  recapture as is then  determined  to be  appropriate,  per the terms of
     Paragraph 7 of the Lease.

7.  Paragraph 6 "Adjusted  Basic Rent," of the Base Lease shall be modified such
that the  combination of increases in rent under  Paragraphs 6 and 7 shall in no
event exceed a 7.5% increase over the combined  rental under said Paragraphs for
the immediately preceding lease year.

8.  Paragraph 9 "Use," of the Base Lease  shall be  modified  such that "use" is
defined as "general office purposes," instead of "general office purposes of the
Fair, Isaac Companies."

9. Paragraph 24  "Reconstruction," of the Base Lease shall be modified such that
if the time period required to complete  restoration of the Premises or Building
is greater than twelve  months from the date of the damage,  either  Landlord or
Tenant shall have the right to terminate the Lease within thirty (30) days after
the date of the determination  that such  reconstruction  will require more than
twelve months.  Landlord will make such  determination and notify Tenant of such
determination within sixty (60) days of the event of damage.

10. Paragraph 13.b. of the Base Lease is modified so that Landlord's obligations
with  respect  to repair  and  maintenance  of the  structural  portions  of the
building shall explicitly  include any modifications  required of the structural
portions of the building under then current building and fire codes.

11. All other terms and conditions of the Base Lease shall remain unchanged.

                  San Rafael, California 94903-1996

         (a) Demise.  Landlord hereby leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases
from Landlord those certain premises (the "Premises") described as follows:

                  The real  property  described  in  Exhibit  "A' and the office
                  building  to be known as 111 Smith  Ranch Road in San  Rafael,
                  California (the "Building"), and shown on the site plan marked
                  Exhibit  "B,"  comprising  approximately  26,678  square  feet
                  ("Tenant's  Leasable  Area") to be  constructed by Landlord in
                  accordance with paragraph 8 below.

         (b) Terms, Covenants and Conditions.  The parties agree that this lease
is made upon the following terms, covenants and conditions:

1.       TERM:

         (a) The term of this Lease shall  commence on the later of (i) delivery
by Landlord  of the Final  Completion  Notice  described  in  paragraph 9 of the
Leasehold  Improvements  Agreement  (Exhibit  "D")  or  (ii)  ninety  (90)  days
following  the  Delivery  Date  described  in  paragraph  4(e) of the  Leasehold
Improvements  Agreement  (subject to  extensions to which tenant may be entitled
under paragraph 4(b) of the Leasehold Improvements Agreement) (the "Construction
Period").  The commencement date is hereinafter referred to as the "Commencement
Date," The term of this Lease  shall  expire at  midnight  June 30,  2001 unless
Tenant shall exercise the option to renew provided for herein.

         (b) Landlord shall use  reasonable  efforts to  substantially  complete
those  improvements  referred  to in the  Leasehold  Improvements  Agreement  as
"Landlord's  Work" and to deliver  possession of the Premises to Tenant by April
1, 1992 ("Delivery Date").

         The Delivery  Date may be extended on account of delays as set forth in
Article 11 of the Leasehold Improvements Agreement

                                       1                           Exhibit 10.13



2.       MINIMUM RENT:

         a) Tenant and Landlord have entered into a loan agreement  concurrently
with the  execution  of this Lease  whereby  Tenant has agreed to loan  Landlord
funds  to be used  for the  construction  of the  Building.  Said  loan  will be
represented  by a note  ('Note")  secured  by a deed of  trust  encumbering  the
Premises.  Tenant  agrees to pay  Landlord  monthly  rent  equal to the  monthly
payments   payable  under  the  Note  including  both  principal  and  interest,
commencing upon the Commencement Date and continuing throughout the term of this
Lease. In the event the loan is not fully funded upon  commencement of the lease
term and  monthly  installments  are  increased  to  provide  for  repayment  of
additional advances, concurrently with the increase in monthly note installments
the monthly rent shall be increased. Monthly rent payments shall continue in the
manner  provided for in the Note  notwithstanding  any prepayment by Landlord of
the Note. Such monthly rent is herein referred to as the "Note Rent."

         (b) In addition to the Note Rent Tenant promises to pay monthly rent as
set forth below for the use of the land ("Land Rent") as follows:

                  First twelve months of the term:           $3,750.00 per month
                  Second twelve months of the term:          $5,417.00 per month
                  Third twelve months of the term:           $7,500.00 per month
                  Fourth twelve months of the term:          $7,917.00 per month
                  Fifth twelve months of the term:           $8,333.00 per month
                  Sixth twelve months of the term:           $9,167.00 per month

         During the Seventh  twelve  months of the term,  the land rent shall be
the greater of $9,167,00 per month or $9,167 per month  multiplied by a fraction
the numerator of which is the Index (as hereinafter  defined)  published nearest
but  prior to the 73rd  month  of the term and the  denominator  of which is the
Index published for the month of June 1991.

         Commencing  with  the  85th  month  of the  term and at the end of each
twelfth (12th) month thereafter during the term of this Lease, the Land Rent for
the ensuing  twelve (12) month  period (the  "Adjustment  Period".)  shall be an
amount equal to the greater of (i) the Land Rent in effect  immediately prior to
the  commencement  of such  Adjustment  Period  (without regard to any temporary
abatement of rental then in effect pursuant to the provisions of this Lease), or
(ii) the product  obtained by  multiplying  the Land Rent in effect  immediately
prior to the  commencement  of such  Adjustment  Period  (without  regard to any
temporary  abatement of rental then in effect pursuant to the provisions of this
Lease) by a fraction,  the numerator of which is the Index published nearest but
prior to the commencement  date of such Adjustment Period and the denominator of
which is the Index published for the month which is twelve (12) months earlier.

         The term "Index" as used herein shall mean the Consumer Price Index For
All Urban Consumers, San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, 1982-84 = 100, published by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor. If the Bureau of
Labor Statistics  revises the above Consumer Price Index, the parties agree that
the Bureau of Labor  Statistics will be the sole judge of the  comparability  of
successive indexes.

         (c) The total of the Note Rent and the Land Rent is  referred to herein
as the Minimum Rent.  Tenant agrees to pay the Minimum Rent to Landlord  without
offset or deduction (except as

                                       2



provided herein), prior notice or demand in advance at Landlord's address on the
first day of each month  commencing upon the  commencement of the lease term and
continuing upon the first day of each calendar month  thereafter  throughout the
lease term. If Tenant's obligation to pay rent commences other than on the first
day of a calendar  month,  the first  month's  Minimum  Rent  shall be  prorated
accordingly  and  paid  at the  commencement  of  the  obligation  to pay  rent.
Landlord's  address  shall  be as set  forth  above,  or as  from  time  to time
designated by Landlord to Tenant in writing.  Upon  Landlord's  request,  Tenant
will co-sign Landlord's written  confirmation of the lease commencement date and
the Note Rent.

         (d) Tenant  shall make  payment of Minimum  Rent and other  payments to
Landlord in lawful  money of the United  States;  provided,  if any such payment
made  by a  check,  draft  or  money  order  is  returned  to  Landlord  due  to
insufficient  funds,  or otherwise,  Landlord shall have the right,  at any time
thereafter,  upon  written  notice  to  Tenant,  to  require  Tenant to make all
subsequent  payments in cash, by cashier's  certified check, wire transfer or by
money order.

         (e) It is expressly  understood and agreed that Tenant's timely payment
of Minimum Rent and all other rents, charges and amounts of any kind provided in
this Lease is an unconditional  obligation of Tenant,  and one on which Landlord
is relying in order to meet the financial obligations of the Building.  Tenant's
obligation to pay shall be  continuous  throughout  the term of the Lease,  even
during the pendency of any dispute resolution process which may arise during the
term hereof.


3.       ADDITIONAL RENT, LATE CHARGE AND DEFAULT INTEREST:


         (a) All taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance charges, and other costs
and  expenses  payable  hereunder  by Tenant  (together  with any late charge or
interest  that may accrue  thereon in the event of  Tenant's  failure to pay the
same) and all damages,  costs and expenses which Landlord may incur by reason of
Tenant's default hereunder shall be deemed to be "Additional Rent'. In the event
of non-payment by Tenant of any Additional Rent,  Landlord shall have all of the
rights and remedies with respect  thereto as Landlord has for the non-payment of
Minimum  Rent.  The term  "rentals" or "rental" as used in this Lease shall mean
Minimum Rent, and Additional Rent.

         (b) Tenant  acknowledges that the late payment by Tenant of any rentals
due  hereunder  will cause  Landlord to incur  certain  costs and  expenses  not
contemplated  under this  Lease,  the exact  amount of which  will be  extremely
difficult or impractical to ascertain.  Such costs and expenses include, without
limitation,  administrative  and collection  costs and processing and accounting
expenses.  Accordingly,  if any rental  payable  hereunder  is not  received  by
Landlord from Tenant within ten (10) days after notice that the same is overdue,
Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord, without prior notice or demand. a late
charge equal to four percent  (4%) of the amount then  delinquent.  Landlord and
Tenant  agree that this late charge  represents  a  reasonable  estimate of such
costs and expenses and is fair compensation to landlord for its losses sustained
by reason of  Tenant's  failure to make timely  payment.  In no event shall this
provision  for the payment of a late charge be deemed to grant to Tenant a grace
period or  extension  of time within  which to pay any rental due  hereunder  or
prevent  Landlord from exercising any right or remedy available to Landlord upon
Tenant's  failure to pay such rental when due,  including the right to terminate
this Lease.

         (c) If any rental  remains  delinquent for a period in excess of thirty
(30) days, in addition to

                                       3


the late charge provided  hereinabove,  Tenant shall pay to Landlord interest on
any rental that is not paid when due at the lesser of twelve  percent  (12%) per
annum or the maximum interest rate permitted by law, from the 30th day following
the date such amount became due, until paid.

         (d) If Tenant  shall  fail to pay  Minimum  Rent  within  ten (10) days
following  the due date  thereof on any three (3) or more  occasions  during any
twelve (12) month period during the lease term,  Landlord  shall have the right,
in addition to any other  rights or remedies it may have  hereunder,  to require
Tenant thereafter to pay Minimum Rent in quarterly installments in advance.

4.       RESERVE FOR RE-LEASING AND SECURITY DEPOSIT:

         (a)  Tenant  shall  pay to  Landlord  a monthly  amount  upon the first
anniversary of the  Commencement  Date and continuing upon the first day of each
calendar  month  thereafter,  an amount  which with  accrued  interest  shall be
sufficient to create the  Re-leasing  Reserve at the end of the lease term.  The
monthly payments shall be deposited into a separate  federally  insured interest
bearing trust account or accounts.  Such accounts  shall remain  Tenant's  funds
subject to Landlord's rights under this paragraph 4.

         (b) The Re-leasing Reserve shall be equal to the sum of the following:

                  1.  Twelve  monthly  payments  due under the Note  payable  to
Tenant (whether or not the Note shall have been prepaid.)

                  2. Real  property  taxes,  personal  property  taxes,  and any
assessments  payable for the 12-month period commencing at the expiration of the
lease term ('Reserve Term").

                  3.  Insurance  premiums  for fire and  extended  coverage  and
public liability insurance payable for the Reserve Term.

                  4. Estimated  costs of maintenance  and repair of the Premises
during the Reserve Term.

         (c) Landlord may pay from the Re-leasing  Reserve after  termination of
this lease all of the costs and expenses included in the Releasing Reserve until
the  Re-leasing  Reserve is fully  expended or  eighty-five  (85) percent of the
Tenant's  Leasable Area has been  re-leased.  Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a
monthly accounting of all amounts paid from the Re-leasing Reserve.  Any balance
remaining  shall be  returned to Tenant.  Said  payments of costs may extend for
more than one (1) year  following the  expiration  of this lease,  but shall not
include any costs or expenses payable by new tenants in the Premises.

         (d) This  paragraph  sets forth the  calculation  of the monthly amount
paid by Tenant to Landlord to create the Re-leasing Reserve and Security Deposit
defined above.  The monthly  payment shall be determined by Landlord as provided
herein during the first full calendar month of the term,  and then  recalculated
every  twelve (12) months  thereafter  throughout  the term of this Lease.  Upon
Landlord's  determination of the monthly amount,  Landlord shall promptly notify
Tenant,  who shall commence  payment of said monthly  amount  beginning with the
first day of the immediately following calendar month.

                                       4




                  The  Re-leasing  Reserve  ("RLR")  amount  at  the  end of the
initial lease term shall be:

                  LP + (OM x (1 + C/100) n) = RLR

Where LP is the total of the monthly  loan  payments  under the note  payable to
Tenant during the previous twelve (12) months, OM is the total of average annual
operation and  maintenance  costs as defined in  paragraphs  4(b)2 through 4(b)4
based on known and  estimated  costs for the previous  twelve  months,  C is the
percentage  change in the  Consumer  Price  Index For All Urban  Consumers,  San
Francisco-Oakland  Area-San  Jose  (1982-1984 = 100)  ("Index")  during the last
twelve months,  and N is the number of months  remaining until expiration of the
initial term of this Lease divided by twelve.

                  The payment (MPRLR) into the reserve shall be:

                  (RLR - (CB x (1 + 1/100) n)             100            = MPRLR
                                               ------------------------
                                               ((1 + 1/100 ) n -1) x 12

where I is the average annual percentage  interest rate earned on the Re-leasing
Reserve in all accounts  during the previous  twelve  months,  CB is the current
balance  including accrued interest in the Re-leasing  Reserve account,  and the
other figures are as defined in paragraph (2) above. For the first  calculation,
the parties  agree that I shall be equal to the  three-month  Treasury Bill rate
(10) days prior to the Commencement Date.

                  Notwithstanding paragraphs (b) through (d), MPRLR shall not be
less than zero and shall be rounded up to the nearest whole dollar.

                  For  example  purposes  only,  assume  CB  is  $50,000,  LP is
$228,000,  OM is $80,000,  C is 5%, N is 8 and I is 7%. RLR is  $346,196.  MPRLR
rounded up to the nearest whole dollar is $2,115.00.

         (e) The Re-leasing Reserve shall also constitute a Security Deposit for
the payment of all amounts  payable by Tenant to Landlord  hereunder.  If Tenant
shall  fail to pay any sum due to  Landlord,  Landlord  may,  but  shall  not be
required to, pay such amount from the Re-leasing Reserve.  Tenant shall promptly
repay to Landlord for deposit into the  Re-leasing  Reserve any such amount paid
to Landlord.

5.       COMMON AREAS AND LANDLORD'S COST OF MAINTENANCE:

         (a) Areas  within the outer  property  lines of the  demised  Premises,
exclusive of the interior building areas which are exclusively leased to Tenant,
and  including  such other  areas that are the  responsibility  of  Landlord  to
maintain  as  required  by the City of San  Rafael,  shall  be known as  "Common
Areas".  The Common  Areas shall be available  for the use of by  Landlord,  its
employees,  and  invitees.  Notwithstanding  any other  provision in this Lease,
Landlord shall have the right from time to time to make changes in additions to,
and deletions  from the Common Areas,  and to alter the purposes to which any of
them may be devoted, all without consent from Tenant,  provided any such change,
addition,  deletion or alteration of purpose would not  materially and adversely
affect Tenant's  continued  ability to operate its business from the Premises in
accordance with its rights

                                       5

Management  Fee  shall be  increased  in the  same  manner  as the Land  Rent as
provided in paragraph  3(b) except that the  adjustment  shall be made  annually
commencing with the thirteenth month of the lease term.  Expenditures for any of
the foregoing  which are of a capital  nature,  as determined in accordance with
generally  accepted  accounting  principles,  such as but not  limited  to major
parking lot  rehabilitation  or  replacement,  shall be prorated over the useful
life of the improvement or facility so replaced,  and there shall be included in
Common  Area  Charges  only  that pro rata  portion  of such  expenditure  as is
properly  allocable to the lease term. Tenant shall pay Landlord the sum of $222
per month,  increased annually in the same manner as Landlord's  management fee,
to establish a maintenance reserve. Expenditures of a capital nature shall first
be paid from the  maintenance  reserve and only  Tenant's  pro rata share of the
excess  shall be  included  in Tenant's  Common  Area  charges.  Any Common Area
Charges  paid by  Tenant  which  are  subsequently  reimbursed  to  Landlord  by
insurance or  condemnation  proceeds shall be reimbursed to Tenant within thirty

which relate to offsite  maintenance,  such as expenses relating to the adjacent
pond in the open space area, shall be prorated between  Landlord's Retail Center
and the Premises on the basis of the rentable  square footage  contained in each
parcel.  Landlord  agrees that the manner and method of operation,  maintenance,
upkeep and repair of the  Building  and Common  Areas  shall be in a first class
manner  consistent  with other first  class  office  buildings  located in Marin
County. All expenses shall be characterized and accounted for in accordance with
generally  accepted  accounting  principles.  All  reasonable  costs incurred by
Landlord in good faith shall be conclusive and finally binding upon Tenant.

         (c) Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of the preceding paragraph,

particular dispute or litigation with a tenant in the Building;

                  3) Fees paid to Landlord or to  subsidiaries  or affiliates of

basis;

                  4)   Landlord's   general   corporate   overhead  and  general

                  7)  Penalties  or  fines  assessed  against  Landlord  or  the

charges levied, assessed or imposed:

                  (i) upon or with  respect  to, or which shall be or may become

on behalf of Landlord, in connection with the Premises or any portion of them or
any interest of Landlord in them; or

a part; or

                  (iv) upon this  transaction or any document to which Tenant is

regulation  or  other  requirement  of any  governmental  or  quasi-governmental
authority,  regardless of whether now customary or within the  contemplation  of
the parties  hereto and  regardless of whether  resulting  from  increased  rate
and/or  valuation,  or whether  extraordinary  or ordinary,  general or special,
unforeseen or foreseen, or similar or dissimilar to any of the foregoing.

         (b)  "Environmental  Surcharge"  shall  mean  and  include  any and all

amounts  attributable  to  conditions  caused by Landlord or its agents or which
predate the Delivery Date.

         (c) All of the items set forth in  subparagraphs  (a) and (b) above are
sometimes collectively referred to in this Lease as "taxes."

         (d) It is the  intention of the parties that insofar as it may lawfully
be done, the  provisions of this  paragraph  should be construed to provide that
the amount of rent  reserved  to  Landlord  under this Lease shall be net of all
taxes  charges to Landlord,  except such  non-real  estate taxes as Landlord may
from time to time be required to pay on such rent in common with other  ordinary
income received by Landlord in the regular course of its business.  In the event
it shall be unlawful for Tenant to reimburse  Landlord for such taxes,  then the
Minimum Rent payable  hereunder  shall be increased pro rata to net Landlord the
same amount that would have been payable to Landlord  prior to the imposition of
any such taxes.

         (f)  Beginning at the  commencement  of the term of this Lease,  Tenant
shall pay to Landlord taxes not less than twenty-one (21) days prior to the date
when such taxes become  delinquent.  Landlord  shall submit to Tenant a bill for
such taxes,  together with true copies of the tax bill at least thirty (30) days
prior to such payment being due to Landlord.  If the law  expressly  permits the
payment  of any  or all of the  above  items  in  installments  (whether  or not
interest  accrues on the unpaid  balance)  Tenant  may,  at  Tenant's  election,
utilize the permitted  installment  method,  but shall pay each installment with
interest before delinquency.

         (g) Landlord shall advise Tenant promptly of all notices  pertaining to
taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall have
the right to contest in good faith the imposition of any tax, a portion of which
is to be paid by Tenant, provided that:

                  (i) Tenant shall bear the  responsibility for timely protests,
legal actions, etc., as may be required for an effective protest:

                                       8



                  (ii) If Landlord has paid such tax,  Tenant shall not withhold
its payment to Landlord of such tax; and

                  (iii) Tenant shall indemnify  Landlord against any loss, cost,
damage or expense  which may arise from such  contest by  indemnity  in form and
content satisfactory to Landlord

                  (iv)  Tenant  shall  pay,  or  cause  to  be  paid,  prior  to
delinquency,  directly  to the  taxing  authority,  any  and all  taxes  levied,

The allocation  based on estimates by MMWD, shall be 2.08 acre feet per year for
potable  water  and 1.1  acre  feet  per  year  for  reclaimed  water  used  for
landscaping  subject to such changes in allocation  during the term of the Lease
as the MMWD may make. If tenant's usage exceeds such allocation, tenant shall be
responsible to reimburse  Landlord for all penalties or surcharges  which may be
imposed by the MMWD on account of such excess use. If  necessary  to protect the
water  allocation  available to the Building,  Landlord  shall have the right to
terminate  water service  after Tenant has used the full amount  available to it
for the  billing  or other  measurement  period  established  by the MMWD.  Such
termination of service shall not relieve tenant of any of its obligations  under
this  lease.  Landlord  Agrees  that such right will not be  exercisable  unless
Tenant has actual notice from Landlord of the amount of the current  allocation,
of the  magnitude  of  Tenant's  usage,  and the fact that  failure by Tenant to
adhere to the allocation level would threaten the building's water allocation.

         (c) Landlord shall maintain the necessary  mains,  conduits,  wires and
cables to bring utilities to the Premises and the cost of such maintenance shall
be included as part of Common Area Charges under paragraph 6 above.

         (d)  Landlord  shall  not  be  liable  in  damages,   consequential  or
otherwise,  nor  shall  there  be  any  rent  abatement,   arising  out  of  any
interruption  whatsoever  in  utility  services  which is due to  causes  beyond
Landlord's  reasonable control,  including,  but not limited to fire,  accident,
strike,  governmental  authority,  acts of  God,  or  other  causes  beyond  the
reasonable  control of Landlord or any  temporary  interruption  in such service
which is necessary to the making of alterations, repairs, or improvements to the
Building or any part of it.

as the  contractors);  and (iv)  deliver to  Landlord  certificates  of all such
insurance, providing that such insurance may not be canceled without thirty (30)
days prior written  notice to Landlord.  Landlord shall have the right from time

consent, but in compliance with all Applicable Law, use any ordinary and

                                       13


customary  materials  reasonably  required  to be used by Tenant  in the  normal
course of Tenant's  business  permitted on the Premises,  so long as such use is
not a Reportable Use and does not expose the Premises or neighboring  properties
to any  meaningful  risk of  contamination  or damage or expose  Landlord to any
liability therefor. In addition,  Landlord may (but without any obligation to do
so)  condition  its consent to the use or presence of any  Hazardous  Substance,
activity or storage tank by Tenant upon Tenant's giving Landlord such additional
assurances as Landlord, in its reasonable discretion, deems necessary to protect
itself,   the  public,   the  Premises  and  the  environment   against  damage,
contamination or injury and/or liability therefrom or therefore,  including, but
not limited to, the  installation  (and removal on or before Lease expiration or
earlier  termination) of reasonably  necessary  protective  modifications to the
Premises  (such as  concrete  encasement)  and/or the  deposit of an  additional
Security Deposit under paragraph 4 hereof.

         (b) Duty to Inform  Landlord.  If Tenant knows, or has reasonable cause
to believe,  that a Hazardous  Substance,  or a condition involving or resulting
from same,  which is a  Reportable  Use has come to be located in, on,  under or
about the Premises,  other than as previously  consented to by Landlord,  Tenant
shall  immediately  give written  notice of such fact to Landlord.  Tenant shall
also  immediately  give  Landlord  a copy  of  any  statement,  report,  notice,
registration,  application,  permit,  business plan,  license,  claim, action or
proceeding  given to, or received  from, any  governmental  authority or private
party, or persons  entering or occupying the Premises,  concerning the presence,
spill,  release,  discharge  of, or  exposure  to, any  Hazardous  Substance  or
contamination  in, on, or about the  Premises,  including but not limited to all
such documents as may be involved in any Reportable Uses involving the Premises.

         (c) Indemnification.  Tenant shall indemnify,  protect, defend and hold
Landlord, its agents, employees, and the Premises, harmless from and against any
and all loss of rents and/or damages,  liabilities,  judgements,  costs, claims,
liens, expenses,  penalties,  permits and reasonable attorney's and consultant's
fees arising out of or involving any Hazardous Substance or storage tank brought
onto  the  Premises  by or  for  Tenant  or  under  Tenant's  control.  Tenant's
obligations  under this  Paragraph  shall  include,  but not be limited  to, the
effects of any  contamination  or injury to person,  property of the environment
created  or  suffered  by  Tenant,  and  the  cost of  investigation  (including
consultant's and attorney's fees and testing), removal, remediation, restoration
and/or abatement thereof,  or of any contamination  therein involved,  and shall
survive the  expiration or earlier  termination of this Lease.  No  termination,
cancellation  or release  agreement  entered  into by Landlord  and Tenant shall
release Tenant from its  obligations  under this Lease with respect to Hazardous
Substances  or storage  tanks,  unless  specifically  so agreed by  Landlord  in
writing at the time of such agreement.

         Landlord shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold Tenant harmless with
respect to any Hazardous  Substance brought upon the Premises by Landlord or its
Agents or  existing  upon the  Delivery  Date to the same extent and in the same
manner.

18.      VOLUNTARY SURRENDER:

         The voluntary or other  surrender of this Lease by Tenant,  or a mutual
cancellation  thereof,  shall not work a merger,  but  shall,  at the  option of
Landlord, either (i) terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies, or
(ii)  operate as an  assignment  to  Landlord  of any or all such  subleases  or
subtenancies.

                                       14


19.      NOTICES:

         All notices to be given to Tenant may be given in writing personally or
by depositing the same in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed
to Tenant at Tenant's  address  given on page 1 of this Lease,  or at such other
address as Tenant may indicate from time to time during the term of this Lease.

         Notice by Tenant to Landlord  shall be in writing and  deposited in the
United  States  mail,  postage  prepaid,  addressed  to  Landlord at the address
specified  on Page 1 of this  lease,  or such  other  address  as  Landlord  may
indicate from time to time during the term of this lease.

20.      DELIVERY OF POSSESSION: HOLDING OVER:

         (a)  Immediately  upon  expiration or sooner  termination  of the lease
term,  Tenant shall vacate and deliver to Landlord  possession  of the Premises,
and  except as  provided  in the next  sentence,  all  Tenant  improvements  and
alterations,  broom  clean,  in good  condition  and in  substantially  the same
condition as they were in the commencement of this Lease, or when installed,  if
later,  normal wear and tear  excepted.  Prior to such  delivery,  Tenant  shall
remove all personal property and alterations that Tenant has the right to remove
or is obligated to remove under the  provisions of Paragraph 11 and shall repair
all damage  caused and  perform  all  restoration  necessary  as a result of the
removal of any alterations or personal property.

         (b) If Tenant has vacated the premises  Landlord may elect to retain or
dispose of in any manner any  alterations or personal  property that Tenant does
not remove from the Premises on  expiration or sooner  termination  of the lease
term as allowed or  required  by this Lease.  Title to any such  alterations  or
personal  property that Landlord elects to retain or dispose of after Tenant has
vacated the Premises  shall vest in Landlord.  Tenant waives all claims  against
Landlord for damage or injury to Tenant  resulting from Landlord's  retention of
any such  alteration or personal  property and shall indemnify and hold Landlord
harmless  from  liability  for  damages and all costs and  expenses  incurred by
Landlord  in  defending  claims to any such  alterations  or  personal  property
asserted by any other person.  Tenant shall  reimburse  Landlord upon demand for
Landlord's reasonable costs of storing,  removing,  and/or disposing of any such
alterations or personal property.

         (c) If Tenant fails to vacate and deliver possession of the Premises on
the  expiration  or earlier  termination  of the lease term,  as required  under
subparagraph  (a) above,  Tenant shall hold  Landlord  harmless from all damages
resulting  from  Tenant's  failure to so vacate and  deliver  possession  of the
Premises,  including,  without  limitation,  claims made by a succeeding  tenant
resulting from Tenant's failure to vacate and deliver possession of the Premises
and  any  rental  loss  suffered  by  Landlord.   Tenant  understands  that  the
termination date of this lease was selected to occur prior to expected vacancies
in other buildings in the vicinity and that  consequently  any delay in vacating
the Premises may substantially  adversely affect Landlord's  ability to re-lease
the Premises.

         (d) If Tenant,  with Landlord's  consent,  remains in possession of the
Premises after  expiration of the lease term, such possession by Tenant shall be
deemed to be a  month-to-month  tenancy  terminable  on thirty  (30) days notice
given at any time by either party.  All  provisions of this Lease,  except those
pertaining  to  term,  and  option  to  extend,  if  any,  shall  apply  to  the
month-to-month  tenancy,  provided  that the Minimum  Rent shall be  one-hundred
twenty-five percent (125%) of

                                       15


the minimum rent payable during the last month of the lease term.

         (e) Tenant shall vacate and deliver  possession of the Premises free of
all liens,  charges,  or  encumbrances  resulting  from any act or  omission  on
Tenant's  part and  free  and  clear of all  violations  thereon  placed  by any
federal,  state,  municipal or other agency or  authority,  and shall  indemnify
Landlord against any and all loss,  expense,  damage,  costs, or attorneys' fees
arising out of Tenant's failure to do so.

21.      ENTRY BY LANDLORD:

         Tenant  shall  permit  Landlord and its agents to enter the Premises at
reasonable times upon reasonable  notice for any of the following  purposes:  to
inspect the same;  to maintain  the  Building to make  repairs,  alterations  or
additions to any portion of the Building;  to post notices of non-responsibility
for alterations, additions or repairs undertaken by Tenant; to install a leasing
signs upon the  Premises  during the final one hundred  twenty (120) days of the
lease term;  to show the  Premises to  prospective  purchasers  or lenders  and,
during the final one hundred eighty (180) days of the lease term, to prospective
Tenants:  and to install,  use and maintain pipes,  ducts,  conduits,  wires and
appurtenant  meters and  equipment in the  Premises.  Landlord may exercise such
right of entry without any abatement of rent to Tenant for any loss of occupancy
or quiet  enjoyment  of the Premises  unless  Landlord is negligent or acts with
willful disregard of Tenant's  business  interests when making such entry, or if
the need for such repairs  arise from the  negligent or willful act of Landlord,
its employees or agents.

22.      LANDLORD'S CONVEYANCE:

         If during the term of this Lease  Landlord,  its successors or assigns,
conveys  all or part of its  interest in the  Premises,  then from and after the
effective date of the conveyance, Landlord shall be released and discharged from
any and all  obligations  under  this  Lease with  respect  to the  interest  so
conveyed,  except those already accrued. If Landlord conveys,  assigns and sells
all its interest in the  Premises to a third party,  Tenant shall attorn to such
party as if it had been named as Landlord under this Lease,

23.      ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING:

         Tenant  shall not  assign  this  lease or  sublet  any  portion  of the
Premises  without the prior written  consent of Landlord.  No such assignment or
subletting shall relieve Tenant of its obligations hereunder. Landlord shall not
unreasonably  withhold such consent.  In determining  whether or not to consent,
Landlord may consider all relevant  factors,  including  but not limited to, the
financial  responsibility  of the  proposed  tenant,  the nature of the tenant's
business,  any  modifications  to the  building  which  might be  required,  any
increased  burden upon the parking  facilities,  traffic,  water usage, or other
factors  which  affect  Landlord  as the  owner  of the  Premises  and  adjacent
property.  Tenant shall  reimburse  Landlord for all reasonable  legal and other
expenses incurred by Landlord in reviewing such requests for consent.

24.      SUCCESSORS:

         All the terms,  covenants and conditions of this Lease shall be binding
upon and inure to the

                                       16


benefit of the heirs, executors,  administrators,  successors and assigns of the
parties hereto, and in the case of Tenant, all amounts due and payable hereunder
shall be the obligation of such heirs,  executors,  administrators  and assigns,
regardless  of the time  period to which such  amounts  relate.  Nothing in this
paragraph shall be deemed to permit any assignment, subletting, occupancy or use
contrary to the provisions of paragraph 23 above.

25.      INDEMNIFICATION AND LIABILITY INSURANCE:

         Landlord,  its managing  agent,  and architects  shall not be liable to
Tenant, its officers, agents, employees, customers, invitee or third parties for
loss or damage to property,  including goods,  wares and  merchandise,  for lost
profits,  or for injury or death to persons in, on, or about the  Premises,  and
Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord, its managing agent, and architects
harmless  from and on account  thereof no matter how arising or by whom  caused,
except for such loss or damage as may be caused by the negligence or willful act
or omission of Landlord, its agents,  architects or employees for which Landlord
shall  be  liable  and  for  which  Landlord  shall  indemnify  Tenant.   Tenant
acknowledges that the provisions of Paragraph 37 below require Tenant to pay all
Landlord's,  its  managing  agent's and  architect's  costs,  expenses  and fees
resulting from any action  associated with such loss,  damage,  injury or death,
unless caused by Landlord's negligence or willful act.

         During the term of this Lease,  Tenant shall maintain in full force and
effect with insurance  companies with general policy holder's rating of not less
than A and a  financial  rating of not less than X as rated in the most  current
available "Best's"  Insurance  Reports,  licensed to do business in the state in
which the  Building  is  located,  comprehensive  liability  insurance  policies
applicable to the Premises and Tenant's activities,  including contractual, with
limits of liability per person,  per occurrence and for property damage at least
equal to a combined  single  limit  policy of  $1,000,000.  The  minimum  limits
specified above are the minimum amounts required by Landlord, and may be revised
by Landlord from time to time, but not more frequently than once each year, when
reasonably  necessary  to  meet  changed   circumstances,   including,   without
limitation  (i)  changes in the  purchasing  power of the dollar,  (ii)  changes
indicated by the amount of  plaintiffs;  verdicts in personal  injury actions in
the State of California, or (iii) changes consistent with the standards required
by  Landlords  of other  similar  buildings  located  in the County in which the
Building  is  located.  Such  liability  insurance  shall  be  primary  and  not
contributing to any insurance carried by Landlord,  and Landlord's insurance (if
any) shall be in excess thereof.

         Tenant  shall  cause  Landlord  and its  managing  agent to be named as
additional insured, and certificates evidencing such coverage and providing that
the  insurance  may not be  cancelled  without  thirty (30) days' prior  written
notice to  Landlord  shall be  delivered  to  Landlord  prior to  Tenant  taking
possession of the Premises or entering to commence fixturization.

26.      INSURANCE PREMIUMS:

         Tenant  shall pay to Landlord as part of Common Area  Charges  provided
for in Paragraph 6 above,  all premiums paid by Landlord for the property damage
insurance  policy described in Paragraph 28(g) below, or an appropriate pro rata
share of the premiums if the policy  insures more than the  Premises.  Provided,
however,  that  Tenant's  liability  for the payment of premiums for  earthquake
insurance shall not exceed $10,000 per annum increased in the same manner as the
Management Fee as provided in paragraph 5(b), and the earthquake  insurance must
provide for a deductable of five percent (5%) or less of the damage.

                                       17


27.      SUBROGATION WAIVER:

         With  respect to all  policies of  insurance  which are required by the
provisions  of this Lease  Landlord  and Tenant each agree to obtain a clause or
endorsement denying to the insurer rights of subrogation against the other party
to the extent such rights have been waived by the insured  under the  provisions
of this Lease.

         Each  party,  notwithstanding  any  provisions  of  this  Lease  to the
contrary,  waives any right of recovery against the other for injury or loss due
to hazards covered by insurance to the extent of the insurance coverage required
by this Lease.

28.      DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION:

         (a) If the Building is destroyed or materially  damaged  (i.e.,  to the
extent of five  percent (5%) or more of the then full  replacement  cost) from a
cause not insured  against under  Landlord's  casualty  insurance  policy,  with
extended  coverage,  Landlord  shall have the right to  terminate  this Lease by
giving written notice of termination to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the
date of such  damage or  destruction.  If the Lease is not so  terminated,  then
Landlord shall diligently proceed to repair and restore the Building.

         (b) If the Building is  materially  damaged or  destroyed  from a cause
covered by  Landlord's  casualty  insurance  referred to above,  and they may be
repaired or restored  within one hundred fifty (150) days after  commencement of
repair or  restoration,  then Landlord  shall  diligently  proceed to repair and
restore  the  Premises.  If  Landlord  determines  that the  Premises  cannot be
repaired or restored within such a period. then Landlord shall have the right to
terminate  this Lease by written  notice to Tenant  given within sixty (60) days
after the date of such damage or  destructions,  and Tenant's  obligation to pay
rent and other  charges  under this Lease shall  terminate as of the date of the
damage or destruction, or the date Tenant ceases to do business at the Premises,
whichever date is later.

         (c) If the Building is damaged to the extent of fifty  percent (50%) or
more of its  replacement  cost,  Landlord may elect to  terminate  this Lease by
written  notice to Tenant  given  within  sixty (60) days after the date of such
destruction.

         (d) If in any case  which is the  subject  of this  paragraph  29,  the
Premises or any portion thereof is rendered unfit for use and occupancy and this
Lease is not terminated as provided above, a just proportion of the Minimum Rent
in light of the  nature  and  extent of the  damage  shall be  abated  until the
Premises,  excluding any fixtures or items installed or paid for by Tenant which
Tenant is entitled or required to remove under this Lease, have been restored by
Landlord as provided above.

         (e) Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Lease,  damage to or
destruction  of the  Premises  shall not  terminate  this Lease or result in any
abatement  or  rentals  payable  hereunder.  Tenant  waives  any right of offset
against  its  rental  obligations  provided  by any  statute  or  rule of law in
connection with Landlord's duties of repair and restoration under the provisions
of this Lease.

         (f) Landlord's duties of repair and restoration under the provisions of
this Lease shall  extend only to those  portions of the Premises  insured  under
Landlord's casualty insurance with

                                       18


extended  coverage  endorsements  and Landlord shall not be responsible  for any
loss,  damage,  or  destruction  to Tenant's  to  fixtures,  inventory  or other
Tenant-owned property.

         (g) Landlord  shall  obtain and  maintain in force a standard  fire and
extended risk insurance  policy with Landlord as insured,  insuring the Premises
and  building  of  which it is a part in  amounts  and in form  satisfactory  to
Landlord,  which may also include, at Landlord's option, rental continuation for
a period of  twelve  (12)  months,  earthquake  (subject  to the  provisions  of
paragraph 26), flood, demolition,  increased cost of construction due to changes
in building  codes,  and such other coverage as Landlord deems prudent or as may
be  required  under  the  terms  of any  mortgage  or deed of  trust at any time
encumbering the Building of which the Premises form a part. Any proceeds of such
insurance shall be payable to Landlord and used for repair and reconstruction of
the  improvements,  if  Landlord  is  obligated  under  this  Lease to repair or
reconstruct,  subject to any  requirements as to the disposition of the proceeds
that may be imposed by the  beneficiary  under any  mortgage or deed of trust at
any time encumbering the Building.

         (h) Tenant  shall  obtain  and  maintain  in force a standard  fire and
extended coverage insurance policy on all of Tenant's personal  property,  in an
amount equal to their full replacement value.

29.      DEFAULT:

         (a) The following events shall constitute events of default by Tenant:

                  (i) Abandonment of the Premises;  or dispossession of Premises
by power of law or otherwise;

                  (ii)  failure  to pay any  installment  of  Minimum  Rent,  or
Additional  Rent on the date when any such  payment is due,  with such a failure
continuing  for a  period  of  ten  (10)  days  after  written  notice  of  such
delinquency,  except  that in the case of Minimum  Rent,  no  written  notice of
delinquency shall be required:

                  (iii)  assignment or subletting in violation of the provisions
of paragraph 23;

                  (iv)  failure  by  Tenant  to  perform  any  other  covenants,
agreements  or  obligations  required  of Tenant  under  this  Lease with such a
failure  continuing  for thirty (30) days after written  notice of such failure:
provided,  however, if the nature of the failure is such that it cannot with the
exercise of  reasonable  diligence  be cured within said thirty (30) day period,
then Tenant shall not be in default hereunder if it shall promptly commence such
cure (in any event within said thirty-day period) and thereafter pursue the same
to completion with diligence and continuity; provided, further, however, if such
failure is of a nature which adversely affects the health and safety of users of
the Building,  obstructs or impedes the flow of pedestrian and vehicular traffic
through the Common Areas,  or adversely  affects the appearance of the Building,
and can with the  exercise of  reasonable  diligence  be cured  within a shorter
period of time, then the applicable cure period  following  notice shall be such
shorter period of time. If on three (3) or more  occasions  during any period of
twelve  (12)  consecutive  months  during  the lease term  Tenant  shall fail to
perform any obligation  hereunder which adversely  affects the health and safety
of the Common Areas,  and  regardless of whether such prior  failures shall have
been cured within the required time period, then,  commencing on the fourth such
failure, no prior notice shall be required;

                  (vi) a  general  assignment  by  Tenant  for  the  benefit  of
creditors;

                                       19


                  (vii) the filing of a  voluntary  petition  in  bankruptcy  by
Tenant or the filing of an involuntary petition by Tenant's creditors, with such
a petition remaining undischarged for a period of ninety (90) days;

                  (viii) the  appointment  of a receiver to take  possession  of
substantially  all  of  Tenant's  assets  or  of  the  Premises,   with  such  a
receivership remaining undissolved for a period of ninety (90) days;

                  (ix) the  attachment,  execution or other judicial  seizure of
substantially  all of Tenant's assets or the Premises,  with such an attachment,
execution or other seizure remaining  unreleased or undischarged for a period of
ninety (90) days after the levy thereof;

                  (x) the  chronic  delinquency  by  Tenant  in the  payment  of
rentals due hereunder,  with "chronic delinquency" meaning the failure by Tenant
to pay any rental by the required due date on seven (7) or more occasions during
any 12-month period.

         (b) Upon any of the above events of default or any other breach of this
Lease by, then Landlord, besides other rights or remedies it may have under this
Lease or by law, shall have the right to: (i)  immediately  terminate this Lease
and Tenant's right to possession of the Premises by giving Tenant written notice
that this Lease is terminated,  in which event, upon such termination,  Landlord
shall  have the right to  recover  from  Tenant the sum of; (A) the worth at the
time  of  award  of the  unpaid  rent  which  has  been  earned  at the  time of
termination;  (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  affirmatively  proves
could have been  reasonably  avoided;  (C) the worth at the time of award of the
amount by which the  unpaid  rent for the  balance of the term after the time of
award  exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant  affirmatively  proves
could be  reasonably  avoided;  (D) any other  amount  necessary  to  compensate
Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform
Tenant's  obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things
would be likely to result therefrom;  and (E) all such other amounts in addition
to or in lieu of the  foregoing  as may be  permitted  from  time to time  under
applicable  law;  or (ii)  have this  Lease  continue  in effect  for so long as
Landlord does not terminate  this Lease and Tenant's  right to possession of the
Premises,  in which  event  Landlord  shall  have the  right to  enforce  all of
Landlord's rights and remedies under this Lease,  including the right to recover
all  rentals  payable by Tenant  under this Lease as they  become  due, or (iii)
without  terminating  this Lease,  make such  alterations  and repairs as may be
necessary  in order to relet the  Premises,  and relet the  Premises or any part
thereof  for such term or terms  (which may be for a term  extending  beyond the
term of this  Lease) and at such rental or rentals and upon such other terms and
conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable. Upon each such
reletting all rent and other sums received by Landlord from such reletting shall
be applied,  first,  to the payment of any  indebtedness  other than rentals due
hereunder  from  Tenant to  Landlord:  second,  to the  payment of any costs and
expenses of such reletting,  including  reasonable brokerage fees and attorney's
fees and of costs of such  alterations  and  repairs;  third,  to the payment of
rentals due and unpaid  hereunder;  and the  residue,  if any,  shall be held by
Landlord and applied in payment of future rentals payable by Tenant hereunder as
the as the same may become due and payable hereunder. If the rent and other sums
received  from such  reletting  during  any month are less than the rental to be
paid during that month by Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay such

                                       20


deficiency to Landlord;  if such rent and other sums shall be more, Tenant shall
have no right to the  excess.  Such  deficiency  shall  be  calculated  and paid
monthly.  No re-entry or taking  possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be
construed  as an election on its part to  terminate  this Lease unless a written
notice of such intention is given to Tenant or unless the termination thereof is
decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any such reletting
without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this
Lease for such previous breach. Should Landlord at any time terminate this Lease
for any breach,  in addition to any other  remedies it may have,  it may recover
from Tenant all  damages it may incur by reason of such  breach,  including  the
cost of recovering  the Premises and  reasonable  attorneys'  fees, all of which
amounts  shall be  immediately  due and  payable  from Tenant to  Landlord.  The
failure or refusal of Landlord to relet the Premises  shall not affect  Tenant's
liability. At its option, Landlord may request the appointment of a receiver for
Tenant to take possession of the Premises and to exercise all rights of Landlord
herein  relating to the taking of possession of and reletting the Premises,  and
to apply any rent and other sums  collected from the Premises  accordingly.  The
terms "entry" and "re-entry" are not limited to their  technical  meanings.  For
the  purpose  of this  paragraph:  "worth at the time of award"  as  defined  in
Subparagraphs  (b) (i) (A) and (B) shall be computed by allowing interest at the
rate of ten  percent  (10%) per  annum,  and for  Subparagraph  (i)(c)  shall be
computed by discounting  such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve
Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus one percent (1%).

         (c) Upon any such event of default or breach, all of Tenant's fixtures,
furniture, equipment,  improvements,  additions, alterations, and other personal
property shall remain on the Premises and,  during the length of such default or
breach,  Landlord shall have the right to take the exclusive  possession of them
and to use them,  rent or  charge  free,  or to  remove  and store the same in a
public  warehouse  or  elsewhere  at the cost of and for the  account of Tenant,
until all  defaults  are cured or, at  Landlord's  option at any time during the
remaining term of this Lease, to require Tenant to immediately remove the same.

         (d) The  waiver by  Landlord  of any  breach of any term,  covenant  or
condition  of this Lease  shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any other  term,
covenant or  condition or any  subsequent  breach of the same or any other term,
covenant, or condition.  The subsequent acceptance of rent by Landlord shall not
be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant
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.

30.      RIGHT OF LANDLORD TO PERFORM:

         All covenants and agreements to be performed by Tenant under any of the
terms of this  Lease  shall be  performed  by Tenant at  Tenant's  sole cost and
expense and without any  abatement  of rent.  If Tenant  fails to pay any sum of
money  required to be paid by it hereunder to third  parties or fails to perform
any other act on its part to be performed  hereunder and such failure  continues
for ten (10) days  after  notice  thereof by  Landlord,  Landlord  may,  without
waiving or releasing  Tenant from any  obligations  of, make any such payment or
perform any such other act on Tenant's behalf.  All sums so paid by Landlord and
all necessary  incidental costs,  together with interest on all of the foregoing
at the default  rate  specified  in  Paragraph  4(c) above from the date of such
payment by Landlord, shall be payable to Landlord on demand.

                                       21


31.      CONDEMNATION:

         (a) If during the lease term, the Premises,  or any substantial portion
thereof  (i.e.,  ten percent  (10%)) or more of the gross  leasable  area),  are
damaged by action of public or other  authority or are taken by eminent  domain,
or if Landlord receives  compensable  damage by reason of anything lawfully done
in pursuance of public or other authority in connection with the Premises,  this
Lease shall terminate at Landlord's election, which election may be made whether
or not  Landlord's  entire  interest  has been  divested.  If only a part of the
Premises is taken and the remainder is insufficient for Tenant's purposes or, in
case of such damage or taking,  if the time needed to do the  construction  work
necessary to put the Premises or such remainder in proper  condition for use and
occupation is reasonably estimated to exceed six (6) months, or if Landlord does
not  commence  within  sixty (60) days after the damage or the  surrender of the
part taken and proceed with  reasonable  diligence  to do such work,  Tenant may
terminate  this Lease,  without  penalty,  by written  notice  given to Landlord
within thirty (30) days after the right to terminate arises. If in any such case
the Premises are rendered  unfit for use and  occupation and the Lease is not so
terminated,  a just  proportion of the Minimum Rent  according to the nature and
extent of the injury  shall be abated until the Premises (or in case of a taking
what may remain  thereof,  excluding any fixtures or items installed or paid for
by Tenant which Tenant is entitled or required to remove by agreement, have been
put by Landlord in proper  condition for use and  occupation;  and, in case of a
taking which permanently reduces the area of the Premises,  a just proportion of
the Minimum Rent shall be abated for the remainder of the lease term.

         (b) The entire award or compensation in such proceedings, whether for a
total or partial  taking or for  diminution in the value of the leasehold or for
the fee,  shall belong to and be the property of  Landlord;  provided,  however,
that Tenant shall be entitled to recover from the condemnor such compensation as
may be separately  awarded by the condemnor to Tenant,  or recoverable  from the
condemnor  by Tenant in its own  right,  for the  taking of trade  fixtures  and
equipment  owned by  Tenant  (meaning  personal  property,  excluding  fixtures,
whether or not  attached  to the real  property,  which may be  removed  without
injury to the  Premises)  for  business  goodwill  and for  Tenant's  relocation
expenses.  Each party waives any statutory right in conflict with the provisions
of this Paragraph 33,  including,  without  limitations  rights under California
Code of Civil Procedure Section 1265.130.

         (c) If the Premises or any part of them are taken for temporary use:

                  (i)  this  Lease,  including  Tenants'  obligation  to pay all
rentals hereunder, shall be and remain in full force and effect, and

                  (ii)  Tenant  shall be  entitled  to receive  such  portion or
portions of any award made for such use with respect to the period of the taking
which is within the lease term, provided that is such taking remains in force at
the expiration or earlier  termination  of this Lease,  Tenant shall then pay to
Landlord a sum equal to the reasonable cost of performing  Tenant's  obligations
under Paragraph 10 above with respect to surrender of the Premises and upon such
payment shall be excused from such obligations.

32.  OPTION TO RENEW:  So long as Tenant  shall not be in default at the time of
the  exercise of the option,  Landlord  grants to Tenant the option to renew the
Lease for an additional term of five (5) years commencing upon the day following
the expiration date of the initial term upon the following terms and conditions:

                                       22


         (a) The option shall be exercised  by written  notice to Landlord  from
Tenant delivered not more than one year prior to the commencement of the renewal
term,  and not less than nine months  prior to the  commencement  of the renewal
term. The notice shall be accompanied by Tenant's  financial  statements for its
most recent fiscal year and any subsequent  interim periods for which Tenant has
issued financial statements. If such financial statements indicate that Tenant's
financial  condition is not  satisfactory  to reasonably  ensure payment of rent
under the Lease for the option  term,  Landlord may refuse to honor the exercise
of such option.  In the event that the option is not  exercised  within the time
provided, it shall expire.

         (b) If the option is exercised,  during the renewal  term,  the minimum
rent (in lieu of the Note Rent and the Land Rent) shall be equal to  ninety-five
percent  (95%)  of the fair  rental  value  of the  premises  at the date of the
commencement of the renewal term. In determining the fair rental value, the term
of the  Lease,  and all the other  terms and  conditions  of the Lease  shall be
considered.  The fair rental value shall be  determined on the basis of the fair
rental  value of a rentable  square  foot of  comparable  office  space in Marin
County. No consideration shall be given to the fact that Tenant shall occupy the
entire building.

                  Upon the  exercise  of the option,  the parties  shall make an
attempt to determine  the fair rental value of the  premises.  In the event that
they are unable to do so within a period of two (2) months from the  exercise of
the  option,  each  party  shall  appoint an  appraiser  who shall be a licensed
appraiser or a licensed  commercial  real estate broker doing  business in Marin
County,  with at least five years experience in commercial leasing of comparable
property in Marin County. The two appraisers shall meet and attempt to determine
the fair  rental  value of the  premises.  If they are unable to agree  within a
period of thirty (30) days  thereafter,  the two shall choose a third  appraiser
who shall be similarly  qualified.  The third appraiser shall determine the fair
rental  value of the premises  and his  determination  shall be binding upon the
parties. Provided, however, that the fair rental value of the premises shall not
be less than the rental paid during the last lease year of the initial term, nor
less than the fair rental value  proposed by the appraiser  appointed by Tenant,
and shall not be more  than the fair  rental  value  proposed  by the  appraiser
appointed by Landlord.

                  If either  party  shall fail to appoint its  appraiser  at the
time  provided,  or if the two  appraisers  shall  fail  to  appoint  the  third
appraiser  within the time  provided,  upon  application  by either  party,  the
appraisers  shall be  appointed  by the  president  of the Marin County Board of
Realtors.

                  Each  party  shall  pay  the  compensation  of  its  appointed
appraiser and one-half the compensation of the third appraiser.

         (c) The rent shall be adjusted  annually in accordance  with changes in
the Index as described in paragraph 2 commencing one year from the  commencement
date of the  renewal  term  using a base  Index  which  shall be the Index  last
published prior to the  commencement of the renewal term and an adjustment index
which shall be the Index last published prior to the adjustment date.

         (d) All the  remaining  terms and  conditions of the Lease shall apply,
including,  but not limited to, the provisions for payment of additional rent in
the form of common  area  charges,  taxes,  insurance,  and  maintenance  of the
building.

                  No additions shall be made to the Re-leasing  Reserve provided
for herein,  but the  reserve  shall be  maintained  and shall be  available  to
Landlord at the expiration of the renewal term.

         (e) In the event the option is exercised,  Landlord  shall use its best
efforts to obtain a new

                                       23






loan to be secured by the premises  sufficient  to repay the balance of Note and
the costs of  refinancing.  If Landlord is unable to secure a loan providing for
monthly payments of interest and principal  sufficient to amortize the principal
over a term of not less  than  twenty-five  (25)  years  which  does not  exceed
eighty-five percent (85%) of the net operating income from the building, and due
in not less than seven (7) years from the Commencement  Date of the Renewal Term
then as a condition  for the renewal of the Lease,  Tenant  shall be required to
extend  the  maturity  date of the Note for a period of five (5) years  from the
date the Note is  otherwise  due, or in the  alternative,  cancel the option and
vacate the premises at the end of the then current term.  If Tenant  proposes to
assign  the Note to a third  party  during  the  extension  period  of the Note,
Landlord agrees to terminate its right to offset payments under the Note against
rent due, if financial  statements  submitted by Tenant indicate that Tenant has
sufficient  income to pay the rent under the Lease.  Such  termination  shall be
effective upon assignment of the Note by Tenant.  Net operating income means the
Minimum Rent less the expenses of operating  the Demised  Premises to the extent
not  reimbursed by Tenant and  specifically  excluding any interest or principal
loan payments or depreciation.

                  In the event that the foregoing  option to renew is exercised,
Tenant shall have two additional  five-year options to renew upon the same terms
and  conditions  with the fair rental value of the premises to be  determined in
the same manner at the time each option is exercised.

                  In the event that  Tenant  fails to  exercise  an option,  all
subsequent options shall terminate.

33. FIRST RIGHT OF  NEGOTIATION:  In the event that Landlord shall elect to sell
the building during the term of the Lease,  Tenant shall have the first right to
negotiate for the purchase upon the following terms and conditions:

                  Prior  to  listing  the  building  for  sale,   and  prior  to
negotiation with respect to sale to any third party, Landlord shall give written
notice to Tenant that  Landlord  wishes to sell the  building,  and shall advise
Tenant of the proposed  sale price and other terms and  conditions  of the sale.
For a period of thirty (30) days thereafter, Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate
in good faith for the  purchase and sale of the  building.  In the event that no
agreement  is reached  during said time,  Landlord may list the building and may
offer the building for sale to third parties  without any further  obligation to
Tenant except that if Landlord  proposes to make sale of the building for a sale
price which is more than ten percent  (10%) less than the last price  offered to
Tenant, Landlord shall give written notice of such proposed price to Tenant, and
within a  period  of five (5)  working  days  thereafter,  Tenant  may  elect to
purchase  the  building at the reduced  price and upon the terms and  conditions
proposed.

                  In the event that Landlord  receives an unsolicited  offer for
purchase of the building  which Landlord  wishes to accept,  Landlord shall give
Tenant written notice of such offer and shall include a copy of the offer in the
notice.  Within ten (10) working days following  submission of the offer, Tenant
shall have the option to purchase the building from Landlord upon the same terms
and conditions as are offered by such third party.

                  This  provision  shall not  apply to the sale of an  undivided
interest  in  the  property,  nor  to a  dissolution  or  reorganization  of the
partnership  so long as the existing  partners  retain more than a fifty percent
(50%) beneficial interest in the building.

                                       24


                  In  the  event  that  the  proposed  sale  provides  for a tax
deferred  exchange to be made, as a condition for the purchase,  Tenant shall be
required to cooperate with Landlord in connection with such exchange.

34.      SUBORDINATION:

         This lease is and shall be prior to any encumbrance  recorded after the
date of this Lease affecting the premises.  If, however,  a lender requires that
this  Lease  be  subordinate  to any  such  encumbrance,  this  Lease  shall  be
subordinate  to the  encumbrance  if Landlord  first  obtains  from the lender a
written statement that provides substantially as follows:

         "As long as Tenant  performs  its  obligations  under  this  Lease,  no
         foreclosure of, deed given in lieu of foreclosure of, or sale under the
         encumbrance,  and no steps or procedures  taken under the  encumbrance,
         shall affect  Tenant's  rights under this Lease.  Tenant shall attom to
         any purchaser at any foreclosure  sale, or to any grantee or transferee
         designated  in any deed in lieu of  foreclosure  so long as such  party
         executed a document  indicating that it will recognize  Tenant's rights
         under the Lease,  provide quite  enjoyment of the Premises to Tenant so
         long as Tenant is not in default,  and shall perform the obligations of
         Landlord hereunder."

         Tenant shall execute any written agreement or other documents  required
by the lender to accomplish the purpose of this paragraph.

35.      LANDLORD DEFAULT; MORTGAGEE PROTECTION:

         (a) In the event  Landlord  shall neglect or fail to perform or observe
any of the terms covenants,  or conditions contained in this Lease on it part to
be performed or observed within thirty (30) days after written notice of default
(or if more than thirty (30) days shall be required because of the nature of the
default,  if Landlord shall fail to commence  within such thirty (30) day period
and  thereafter  proceed  diligently to cure such default  after written  notice
thereof),  then, in that event,  Landlord  shall be liable to Tenant for any and
all damages sustained by Tenant as a result of Landlord's breach.

         (b) If Landlord  shall fail to perform any covenant,  term or condition
of this Lease on Landlord's  part to be performed,  and as a consequence  of its
default,  Tenant shall recover a money judgment against Landlord,  such judgment
shall  be  satisfied  solely  out of (i)  the  proceeds  of sale  received  upon
execution  of such  judgment  levied  against the right,  title and  interest of
Landlord in the  Building and its interest in the  underlying  realty;  (ii) the
rents or other  income  from the  Building  receivable  by  Landlord;  (iii) the
consideration  received by landlord from the sale or other disposition of all or
any part of Landlord's  right,  title and interest in and to said property;  and
(iv) any condemnation awards or insurance proceeds.  It is expressly  understood
and agreed that neither Landlord nor any partner of Landlord shall be personally
liable  for  any  deficiency  if the  proceeds  of the  sale or  disposition  of
Landlord's  interest in the Building is insufficient for the payment of any such
judgment,  and Tenant shall not institute any further  action,  suit, or similar
demand against  Landlord,  or any partner of Landlord,  for or on the account of
such deficiency.  Nothing contained herein shall limit the personal liability of
Landlord or its partners for acts of gross negligence or for willful acts.

         (c) Tenant  agrees to give the holder of any  mortgage or deed of trust
encumbering  the Premises,  by registered  mail, a copy of any notice of default
served upon Landlord, provided Tenant has previously been notified in writing of
the  identity  and address of the holder of any such  mortgage or deed of trust.
Tenant further agrees that if Landlord has failed to cure any default

                                       25


giving rise to such notice  within the time period  provided  for in this Lease,
then the  holder of such  mortgage  or deed of trust  shall  have an  additional
ninety (90) days in which to cure such default or, if such  default  cannot with
the exercise or reasonable diligence be cured within such time period, then such
additional time as may be necessary  (including time to obtain possession of the
Premises by power of sale or judicial  foreclosure,  if such should be necessary
to effect a cure) if within such ninety (90) days the holder of such mortgage or
deed of trust has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to
cure such default.

36.      FINANCIAL AND OFFSET STATEMENTS:

         Tenant  agrees to furnish to  Landlord,  upon seven (7)  business  days
prior  written  notice,  a financial  statement  including  a balance  sheet and
statement  of income and expense for  Tenant's  last fiscal  year,  and its most
recent quarterly and year to date statement,  and Tenant shall have the right to

the Minimum Rent and other charges have been paid,  and setting forth such other
matters as may reasonably by requested by Landlord.

or with respect to any matter  arising out of the  occupation of the premises by
Tenant,  the matter shall be submitted to arbitration under the Commercial rules
of Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association, and the hearing shall be
held at San Rafael, California. In connection with such arbitration, the parties
shall  have the  right to  discovery  as set  forth in  Section  1283.05  of the

38.      ATTORNEY'S FEES:

         If Landlord must join in any  litigation or  arbitration  brought by or
against  Tenant in order to protect an interest of  Landlord,  or if Landlord is
joined as a party in any litigation commenced by or against Tenant, Tenant shall
pay all costs,  expenses, and attorney's fees incurred by Landlord, its managing
agent,  its  architects,  or their  insurance  carriers in connection  with such
litigation  unless such  litigation  determines  that  Landlord has  committed a
breach of this Lease and  adjudicates  that Landlord is a liable  party.  If any
action at law or in equity is brought between Landlord and Tenant

                                       26


to enforce any of the  provisions  and/or rights under this Lease,  Landlord and
Tenant hereby  expressly  waive the right,  if any, to trial by jury in order to

in and as part of such judgment.

39.      ENTIRE AGREEMENT:

         This Lease and the  Leasehold  Improvements  Agreement  constitute  the
entire agreement between Landlord and Tenant, and there are no other agreements,
oral or written,  that would modify the terms set forth in this Lease. Except as
otherwise  expressly  provided herein, any later agreement that would purport to
renew,  extend,  modify,  amend or terminate  this Lease shall be of no force or
effect unless in writing and executed by both Landlord and Tenant.

40.      HAZARDOUS MATERIALS DISCLOSURE & BROKER DISCLAIMER:

         Various construction  materials may contain items that have been or may
in the future be determined to be hazardous  (toxic) or undesirable and may need
to be specially  treated/handled or removed. For example,  some transformers and
other  electrical  components  contain  PCBs,  and  asbestos  has  been  used in
components  such  as  fire-proofing,  heating  and  cooling  systems,  air  duct
insulation  spray-on  and tile  acoustical  materials,  linoleum,  floor  tiles,
roofing,  dry wall and plaster.  Due to prior or current uses of the Property or
in the area, the Property may have hazardous or  undesirable  metals,  minerals,
chemicals,  hydrocarbons,  or biological or radioactive  items in soils,  water,
building components, above or below-ground containers or elsewhere in areas that
may or may not be accessible or noticeable.  Such items may leak or otherwise be
released. Real estate agents have no expertise in the detection or correction of
hazardous or undesirable  items.  Expert  inspections are necessary.  Current or
future laws may require  clean up by past,  present  and/or future owners and/or
operators.  It is the  responsibility  of the  Landlord  and  Tenant  to  retain
qualified  experts to detect and correct  such matters and to consult with legal
counsel of their choice to determine what  provisions,  if any, they may wish to
include in transaction documents regarding the Property.

         To the best of  Landlord's  knowledge,  no asbestos or other  hazardous
materials and undesirable substances are contained in the Property.  Landlord is
required  under  California  Health and Safety  Code  Section  25915 et seq.  to
disclose reports and surveys  regarding  asbestos to certain persons,  including
their employees, contractors,  co-owners, purchasers and tenants. Buyers/Tenants
have  similar  disclosure  obligations.  Landlord  and  Tenant  have  additional
hazardous materials  disclosure  responsibilities to each other under California
Health and Safety Code Section 25359.7 and other California  laws.  Consult your
attorney  regarding  this  matter.  The  brokers  in  this  transaction  are not
qualified  to assist you in this  matter or provide  you with other legal or tax
advice.

         LANDLORD REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT TO THE BEST OF ITS KNOWLEDGE,  NO
ASBESTOS OR OTHER HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ARE OR WILL BE CONTAINED IN THE PREMISES.

                                       27

the  reasonable  approval of tenant.  Such  approval  shall not be  unreasonably
withheld or delayed.  If written  work or any  defects  therein,  nor shall such
exercise be deemed  notice of  disapproval  has not been  delivered  to Landlord
within  ten  (10)  working  days  following  delivery  of the  Shell  Plans  and
Specifications  or  within  five (5)  working  days  following  delivery  of any
proposed changes to the Shell Plans or Specifications, Tenant shall be deemed to
have approved the Shell Plans and Specifications or such change.

                  Landlord's  Work shall  consist of the  completion of the work
included in the Shell Plans and Specifications which shall include all items set
forth in Schedule "A" hereto.

         3.  Inspection  by  Tenant.   During  the  course  of  construction  of
Landlord's work, Tenant or Tenant's  representative  shall at all times have the
right to inspect the construction. No exercise by Tenant of its right to inspect
the  construction  shall be deemed to  affect  the  rights  and  obligations  of
Landlord and Tenant with respect to the

                                       38



work or any defects therein,  nor shall such exercise be deemed an assumption by
Tenant of any responsibility for the quality of the work.

         4.       Completion  of  Landlord's  Work and  Delivery  of the Demised
Premises.

                  (a) Substantial Completion. For purposes of the Lease and this
Leasehold Improvements  Agreement,  "substantially  complete the Building" means
completing the Building in a manner  sufficient to permit Tenant to commence and
prosecute the construction of its Tenant Improvements in a reasonably  efficient
manner.  Landlord shall be deemed to have  substantially  completed the Building
notwithstanding the fact that certain items of Landlord's work are not complete,
even if such items of  Landlord's  work may delay  certain  aspects of  Tenant's
work,  so long as  Tenant  will  have  the  ability  to  perform  its  work in a
reasonably efficient manner.

                  (b) Target  Date for  Completion.  Landlord  agrees to use its
best efforts to substantially complete the Building by April 1, 1992.

                  In the event that the  construction  activities  in connection
with  Landlord's  Work in or about the Building,  or the state of completion (or
lack thereof) of Landlord's Work in or about the Building,  results in any delay
in or interference with Tenant's work, then:

                           (i)  the  90-day  Tenant's  Construction  Period  (as
referred to in  paragraph 1 (a) of the Lease) shall be extended one day for each
day of such delay; and

                           (ii)  Landlord   shall   reimburse   Tenant  for  all
additional costs incurred as a result of such delay or interference.

                  (c)  Inquiries by Tenant as to  Progress.  Between the date of
execution  of the  Lease  and the  date  Landlord  substantially  completes  the
Building,  Landlord  agrees to respond to  inquires  from Tenant  regarding  the
progress on the Project and the estimated date of substantial completion.

                  (d)   Notice  of   Substantial   Completion.   When   Landlord
substantially  completes the Building,  Landlord  shall (i) give Tenant  written
notice  (the  "Substantial  Completion  Notice")  and (ii)  deliver  the Demised
Premises to Tenant for purposes of  constructing  its tenant  improvements.  The
fact that the balance of the Project  has not been  completed  shall not prevent
Landlord  from  delivering  the  Substantial  Completion  Notice to  Tenant  and
delivering the Demised  Premises to Tenant for the purpose of  constructing  its
tenant improvements, if Tenant and its contractors are provided reasonable means
of access to the Demised Premises.

                  (e) Delivery  Date.  The Delivery Date shall be the date which
is the  earlier  of: (i) ten (10) days after the date on which  Tenant  actually
received the Substantial

                                       39


Completion  Notice;  or,  (ii) the date upon which  Tenant  enters  the  Demised
Premises to commence the construction of its tenant improvements.

         5.       Compensation for Delay in Completion of the Building.

                  If Landlord  does not give Tenant the  Substantial  Completion
Notice  by June 1,  1992  (which  date  shall  be  subject  to  postponement  in
accordance  with the  provisions  of  paragraph 11 below)  Landlord  agrees that
Tenant shall be entitled to an additional  one (1) day of free rent for each day
beyond  June 1,  1992,  until  Landlord  has  given to  Tenant  the  Substantial
Completion  Notice.  Subject to the  provisions  of paragraph 10, such free rent
shall constitute  liquidated damages and the sole remedy of Tenant for the delay
in  possession,  and Tenant  hereby  waives any claim  against  Landlord for any
consequential  or other damages or losses  incurred by reason of any such delay.
Such free rent  shall be  applied  as soon as  possible  after the date on which
rental  otherwise  becomes  payable under the Lease.  As used in this  Leasehold
Improvements  Agreement,  the term "free rent" shall mean a  forgiveness  of the
Land Rent, as prorated on a daily basis for the period described.

         6.       Construction by Tenant of Interior Improvements.

                  (a) Construction by Tenant.  Following the Commencement  Date,
Tenant  shall  construct  its tenant  improvements  in the  Demised  Premises in
accordance with plans and  specifications to be approved by Landlord pursuant to
the  provisions  of paragraph  6(b) below and in a good and  workmanlike  manner
using new first-class materials.

                  (b) Approval of Interior  Plans and  Specifications.  Prior to
commencing  such  construction,  Tenant shall submit to Landlord for  Landlord's
approval a complete set of plans and specifications for the tenant improvements.
Landlord agrees that it will not unreasonably  withhold its approval of Tenant's
plans and  specifications  and will provide Tenant with detailed reasons for the
basis of any  objection  to  Tenant's  plans and  specifications.  Landlord  may
withhold its approval of proposed tenant improvements which could not be altered
without  substantial  expense to re-lease the Building after the  termination of
this Lease.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  Landlord's  approval shall not be
withheld because such plans do not provide for corridor  separations or demising
interior walls.  The Interior Plans and  Specifications  shall include the items
set forth in  Schedule  "S"  hereto.  If  Landlord  does not respond to Tenant's
request for approval within ten (10) business days of Landlord's  receipt of the
Tenant's  plans  and  specifications  (or  any  resubmittal  of  the  plans  and
specifications), then Tenant's plans and specifications will be deemed approved.

                  (c) Approval of Contractors.  Any contractor  chosen by Tenant
to perform the Tenant improvement work shall be subject to the prior approval of
Landlord. Landlord agrees that it will not unreasonably withhold its approval of
Tenant's  contractor and will provide Tenant with specific reasons for the basis
of any objection to Tenant's

                                       40


contractor. If Landlord does not respond to Tenant's request for approval within
seven (7) business days of Landlord's  receipt of Tenant's proposed  contractor,
then  Tenant  may give to  Landlord  a written  notice  stating  the  failure of
Landlord to respond to the prior  request and further  stating  that if Landlord
does not respond to such request within three (3) business days from the receipt
by Landlord of such second notice,  then Tenant's  proposed  contractor  will be
deemed  approved.  If Landlord does not respond to such request within three (3)
business days from the receipt by Landlord of such second notice,  then Tenant's
proposed  contractor  shall be deemed  approved.  Tenant shall have the right to
submit a list of not more than six (6)  proposed  contractors  to  Landlord  for
Landlord's approval in accordance with the procedures outlined in this paragraph
6.(c).

         (d) Certain  Bidders.  Tenant agrees that, it shall give a set of plans
and specifications for the tenant improvements to Ross/Donovan  Company, and the
company  shall be given not less than ten (10)  business days in which to bid or
deliver to Tenant a proposal for constructing the tenant improvements.  However,
nothing herein shall obligate Tenant to consider such bid or negotiate with such
contractor,  it being  understood that Tenant shall have the right to select its
own  contractor  (subject only to the  limitation  set forth in paragraph  6.(c)
above)  on such  terms and in such  manner  as  Tenant in its sole and  absolute
discretion shall determine.

         (e) Control of Contractors  and Avoidance of Labor  Disputes.  Landlord
may refuse to approve a contractor or supplier if Landlord  reasonably  believes
that the  presence of such  contractor  or supplier at the Demised  Premises may
cause labor or other difficulties for Landlord or its contractors.  In the event
that Landlord  permits Tenant to enter or commence work in the Demised  Premises
prior to substantial  completion of the Building,  Tenant shall immediately take
such actions as may be necessary to resolve any labor  disputes  which may arise
by  reason  of  Tenant's  work  or the  presence  or use of its  contractors  or
suppliers  on  the  job,  including,  without  limitation,  the  removal  of any
non-union contractors or suppliers from the job.

         (f)  Inspection  by  Landlord.  During the course of  constructing  the
tenant  improvements,  Landlord or Landlord's  representative shall at all times
have the right to inspect  the  construction.  Any  inspection  by  Landlord  of
Tenant's  construction  or  improvements  shall not be deemed an  acceptance  by
Landlord of such  construction  nor shall it impose upon  Landlord any liability
whatsoever for any defects in such construction or improvements.  Landlord shall
not  be  entitled  to  charge  Tenant  any  fee  for   Landlord's   approval  or
participation  on the design and  construction  process for the  construction of
Tenant's  improvements in the Demised  Premises or any out of pocket expenses in
connection therewith.

         (g) Changes in the Interior Plans and Specifications. Tenant shall have
the right to make changes in the approved  plans and  specifications  subject to
the  limitations on alterations as set forth in paragraph 10 of the Lease and to
the right of Landlord to approve  such  modifications  in the same manner as the
original plans and specifications.

                                       41


         7.       Tenant Improvement Allowance.

                  (a) Initial  Build-out.  In connection  with Tenant's  initial
build out of the Tenant's Improvements, Landlord agrees to pay to Tenant the sum
of  $618,500  or the  cost of  Tenant's  Improvements  whichever  is the  lesser
("Tenant Improvements Allowance") to pay Tenant's architectural,  space planning
and engineering fees and for the cost of constructing  the tenant  improvements.
Landlord  shall pay to Tenant  the  Tenant  Improvement  Allowance  in  periodic
progress  payments  within  thirty  (30) days  after  delivery  to  Landlord  of
invoices, and lien releases or waivers conditional only upon payment;  provided,
however,  Tenant's  requests for progress payments shall not at any time average
more than one for each  month of  Tenant's  Construction  Period  which has then
elapsed.

                  (b)  Indemnity by Tenant.  Tenant  hereby agrees to indemnify,
defend and hold Landlord harmless from all demands,  claims, causes of action or
judgments and all reasonable expenses incurred in investigating or resisting the
same for injury to persons,  for loss of life or damage to property occurring on
the Demised  Premises  resulting  from  Tenant's  work in the  Demised  Premises
(except to the extent  such  injury,  loss of life or damage to  property is the
direct  result of the  negligence  or willfully  wrongful act of Landlord or its
agents, employees or contractors),  and Tenant agrees to provide Landlord with a
certificate  of  insurance   confirming  that  Tenant  is  maintaining  adequate
comprehensive  general public liability  insurance covering Tenant's  obligation
under this paragraph and naming Landlord as an additional insured.

         8. Storage of  Materials by Tenant.  Tenant may request in writing that
Landlord permit Tenant to store  construction  materials in the Demised Premises
prior to the  delivery  by  Landlord  to  Tenant of the  Notice  of  Substantial
Completion. The request by Tenant shall set forth the nature and quantity of the
materials  which Tenant  wishes to store and may state the  location  within the
Demised  Premises where Tenant suggests that such materials be stored.  Landlord
shall permit Tenant to store such  materials in the Demised  Premises if, in the
reasonable  opinion of Landlord and Landlord's  contractor,  the storage of such
materials  will not present a material  inconvenience  to Landlord or Landlord's
contractor  or any  subcontractor  in the  completion  of the work  required  of
Landlord by this Leasehold Improvements Agreement. In the event that the storage
of such materials would present such a material inconvenience, then Landlord may
refuse to permit  Tenant to store such  materials.  In the event  that  Landlord
permits the materials to be stored in the Demised Premises, Landlord may specify
the location within the Demised Premises where the materials may be stored,  and
may  later and from time to time  require  that  Tenant  move the  materials  to
another  location within the Demised  Premises at the expense of Tenant,  should
such a move be required for the  convenience  of  Landlord's  contractor  or any
subcontractor, and Tenant shall promptly cause such materials to be moved within
the Demised  Premises to the new location  specified  by Landlord.  In the event
that Tenant does store materials in the Demised  Premises prior to the giving by
Landlord of the Notice of Substantial Completion, Tenant shall indemnify, defend
and hold Landlord  harmless from: (i) all demands,  claims,  causes of action or
judgments and

                                       42


all  reasonable  expenses  incurred in  investigating  or resisting the same for
injury to persons, for loss of life or damage to property occurring arising from
or in  connection  with Tenant's  storage of materials in the Demised  Premises;
and, (ii) the effects of any mechanics or other liens or claims which may attach
to the Project or be claimed  against  Landlord by reason of the storage of such
materials in the Demised Premises.

         9. Project  Completion.  Notices of Completion  and Defects.  Following
delivery of the Demised  Premises to Tenant for the purposes of constructing its
tenant improvements,  Landlord agrees to diligently continue with the completion
of Landlord's  Work in accordance  with this Leasehold  Improvements  Agreement.
Tenant  shall  not be  required  to  commence  its  business  activities  in the
Premises,  nor shall  any  rental  obligations  commence  under the lease  until
Landlord's Work has been completed.

                  In the event Landlord has not completed Landlord's Work thirty
(30) days  after  Tenant  has  completed  its  Tenant  Improvements,  subject to
postponement in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 11 of this Leasehold
Improvements  Agreement,  Landlord  agrees that  Tenant  shall be entitled to an
additional  one (1) day of free rent for each day beyond  said  thirty  (30) day
period, until Landlord has given to Tenant the Final Completion Notice.  Subject
to the provisions of paragraph 10 of this Leasehold Improvements Agreement, such
free rent shall constitute  liquidated damages and the sole remedy of Tenant for
the delay in possession, and Tenant hereby waives any claim against Landlord for
any  consequential  or other  damages or losses  incurred  by reason of any such
delay.  Such free rent shall be applied  as soon as  possible  after the date on
which  rental  otherwise  becomes  payable  under  the  Lease.  As  used in this
Leasehold Improvements Agreement,  the term "free rent" shall mean a forgiveness
of the Land Rent, as prorated on a daily basis for the period described.

                  Upon the  completion of Landlord's  Work,  Landlord shall give
Tenant written notice of such completion (the "Final  Completion  Notice"),  and
Tenant shall be deemed to have fully accepted  Landlord's Work as satisfactorily
completed in accordance  with all  requirements  of this Leasehold  Improvements
Agreement  and shall  further be deemed to have waived any defects in Landlord's
Work, except to the extent that:

                  (i) Tenant  shall  furnish  Landlord  with a list (the  "Punch
List")  within  thirty  (30)  days  after  the  receipt  by  Tenant of the Final
Completion  Notice,  which Punch List shall  specify  the items of  construction
which have not been completed, and

                  (ii) Tenant shall  furnish  Landlord  with a list (the "Defect
List")  within one (1) year the date of receipt of the Final  Completion  Notice
specifying  any  defects  in the  construction  of  Landlord's  Work  which were
discovered prior to the end of such one (1) year period.

                  Landlord shall  promptly  undertake and complete the repair of
each of the items on the Punch List and the Defect List,  except those,  if any,
which do not have a material  adverse affect upon the use,  appearance or safety
of the Demised

                                       43


Premises  by Tenant.  Nothing in this  paragraph  9 shall be deemed to affect or
limit  the  obligations  of  Landlord  to  repair  or  maintain  the  structural
components or any other portions of the Buildings  which Landlord is required to
repair or maintain under the provisions of the Lease.

         10.      Termination.

                  In the event that a grading  permit for grading of the site is
not issued by September 15, 1991, or in the event  substantial Site Work has not
commenced  by October 15, 1991,  or in the event that a building  permit for the
construction  of the  Building is not issued by December  31,  1991,  Tenant may
terminate all of the  obligations  under this Agreement and the Lease by written
notice to Landlord  delivered within five (5) days thereafter.  If the permit is
not issued or if  construction  is not  commenced  by such dates,  and if Tenant
elects to  terminate  this Lease,  the  obligations  of the  parties  under this
Agreement and the Lease shall terminate.

         11.      Delays.

                  (a)  Tenant  Caused  Delays.  If a delay  shall  occur  in the
substantial completion of construction as the result of:

                           (i)  any   delay   of   Tenant   in   approving   any
modifications to the Shell Plans or  Specifications  submitted to Tenant for its
approval;

                           (ii) any  request by Tenant that  Landlord  delay any
element, or the completion, of construction;

                           (iii) any request for a change by Tenant in the Shell
Plans  and  Specifications  or the  plans  and  specifications  for  the  tenant
improvements;

                           (iv)  any   breach  or   default  by  Tenant  in  the
performance  of  Tenant's   obligations   under  the  Lease  or  this  Leasehold
Improvements Agreement;

                           (v) any  interference  by  Tenant  or its  agents  or
contractors with the prosecution by Landlord of its work;

                           (vi) any  reasonably  necessary  displacement  of any
construction from its place in Landlord's  construction  schedule resulting from
any of the causes for delay described above and the fitting of such construction
back into such schedule; or

                           (vii) any delay in  obtaining  any approval or permit
from the City of San  Rafael or any  other  governmental  entity or any  utility
company or district resulting from any other delay referred to in this paragraph
11. (a); then:

                                       44


                                    a.  any  such   delay  in  the   substantial
completion of construction shall extend all dates for the completion by Landlord
of ail or any part of its work by one (1) day for each day of such delay;

                                    b. Tenant shall  reimburse  Landlord  within
thirty (30) days from demand for all  reasonable  additional  costs  incurred by
Landlord as a result of such delays (including,  without  limitation,  increased
design costs, increased construction costs and increased financing costs arising
by reason of the resulting delays, if any, in the construction schedule); and,

                                    c. the  Delivery  Date and the  Commencement
Date shall each be deemed to have  occurred one (1) day sooner than the day upon
which the conditions for the occurrence of each such date are actually fulfilled
for each day of such  delay.  Landlord  shall  notify  Tenant in  writing of the
existence of any of the above delays of which Landlord has knowledge  within ten
(10)  business  days  after the event  causing  the  commencement  of such delay
occurs.  In the event that Landlord fails to give such a notice to Tenant within
ten (10) business days of the  commencement of such delay,  then the delay shall
be deemed to have  commenced  on the date upon  which  such  notice is  actually
given.  Landlord shall use Landlord's  reasonable efforts to minimize the length
of any such delay.

                  (b) Other Delays.  In the event that Landlord shall be delayed
in or prevented from the performance of any act by reason of strikes,  lockouts,
unusual delays in transportation, unavailability of materials, acts or omissions
of  contractors  and   subcontractors,   failure  or  unavailability  of  power,
unavailability of fuel,  restrictive  governmental laws or regulations,  fire or
other casualty, inclement weather, riots, insurrections, the act, failure to act
or default of the other  party,  war or other reason  beyond its  control,  then
performance  of such act shall be  excused  for the  period of the delay and the
period for the performance of such act shall be extended for a period equivalent
to the period of such delay.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, lack of funds shall
not be deemed to be a cause beyond the control of Landlord.

         12.  Disputes.  Any dispute  arising  under this  Agreement  (including
without  limitation  any dispute as to the cost or  duration of a Tenant  Caused
Delay) shall be determined by  arbitration in accordance  with the  construction
arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association.

         13.  Notices.  Any notice or other  communication  which  either  party
hereto shall desire or be required to give  pursuant to the  provisions  of this
Leasehold  Improvements  Agreement  shall be given and  deemed  received  in the
manner provided in Article 19 of the Lease.

                                       45


         14.      Assignment.

                  (a) By Tenant.  This Agreement and Tenant's  rights  hereunder
shall  not be  assigned  by  Tenant  except to a  permitted  assignee  of ail of
Tenant's rights under the Lease,  and any other  purported  assignment by Tenant
shall be null and void and of no force and effect.

                  (b)  By  Landlord.   This  Agreement  and  Landlord's   rights
hereunder  shall not be assigned by Landlord except to a successor to Landlord's
title to the Project and any other  purported  assignment  by Landlord  shall be
null and void  and of no force  and  effect;  provided,  however,  that  nothing
contained in this Section shall apply to nor restrict  Landlord  from  executing
and delivering any collateral  assignment,  pledge or security interest which is
granted in connection with any financing secured by a lien against the Project.

                  (c) Written Agreement. If a party shall duly assign its rights
hereunder,  the assignee  shall  execute,  acknowledge  and deliver to the other
party an agreement in form and substance  reasonably  satisfactory  to the other
party whereby the assignee shall assume the obligations of this Agreement on the
part of the assignor to be performed or observed.

         15.      Waiver of Certain Remedies.

                  (a) No Offset.  No sum  payable to Tenant as the result of any
breach or default by Landlord  under this  Agreement  shall be deducted  from or
offset  against any minimum rent or additional  rent or other sums payable under
the Lease,  and no such breach or default by Landlord under this Agreement shall
excuse Tenant from the performance of any of its obligations  under the Lease or
relieve  Tenant  of  any  of  its  liabilities   thereunder.   Nothing  in  this
subparagraph  (a)  shall be  deemed to  affect  any  express  right of Tenant to
terminate  the  Lease  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of this  Leasehold
Improvements Agreement.

                  (b) No  Consequential  Damages.  Any  failure by  Landlord  to
complete  the  Project  shall  not give  rise to any claim or cause of action or
remedy other than as set forth in this Leasehold Improvement  Agreement.  Tenant
waives all claims  for  consequential  or other  damages  arising  from any such
failure.

         16.      Limitation on Landlord Liability.

                  (a) Basic Limitation. Except as otherwise provided in below in
this  paragraph  16, if  Landlord  shall fail to perform any  covenant,  term or
condition of this  Leasehold  Improvements  Agreement on  Landlord's  part to be
performed,  and as a  consequence  of its default,  Tenant shall recover a money
judgment against Landlord, such judgment shall be satisfied solely out of:

                                       46


                           (i) the proceeds of sale received  upon  execution of
such judgment  levied  against the right,  title and interest of Landlord in the
Project;

                           (ii)  the  rents  or other  income  from the  Project
receivable (but not received) by Landlord;

                           (iii) the consideration received by Landlord from the
sale or other  disposition  of all or any part of  Landlord's  right,  title and
interest in and to the Project; and,

                           (iv) any  condemnation  awards or insurance  proceeds
receivable in respect of the Project.

                  (b) No Personal  Liability.  It is  expressly  understood  and
agreed that neither Landlord nor any employee or partner in or of Landlord shall
be  personally  liable  for  any  deficiency  if the  proceeds  of the  sale  or
disposition  of  Landlord's  interest  in the  Project is  insufficient  for the
payment of any such judgment, and Tenant shall not institute any further action,
suit,  or  similar  demand  against  Landlord,  or any  employee  or  partner of
Landlord,   for  or  on  the   account  of  such   deficiency.   The   foregoing
notwithstanding,  Tenant  may seek to  recover  any  consideration  received  by
Landlord  from the sale or other  disposition  of all or any part of  Landlord's
right, title and interest in and to said property and any condemnation awards or
insurance proceeds  thereafter  received by Landlord or any partner of Landlord,
provided  that any action to recover such proceeds is commenced by the filing of
a complaint and the service of summons within ninety (90) days of the receipt by
Tenant of actual notice of a sale or disposition of the Project by Landlord.

                  (c) Effect of Limitation.  The  limitations  set forth in this
paragraph 16 shall not apply to Tenant's right to recover  liquidated damages as
provided in paragraph 5 above.

         17.  Conflicts  and  Conformity  with Lease.  To the extent  which this
Agreement  fails to provide the rights and  obligations  of Landlord  and Tenant
relative  to any  matter,  the rights and  obligations  of  Landlord  and Tenant
relative to such matters  shall be governed by the Lease.  If there shall be any
conflict  between this Agreement and the Lease, the provisions of this Agreement
shall prevail.

         18.  Attorney  Fees.  Each party shall pay to the other all amounts for
costs,  including,  but not limited  to, the other  party's  attorneys  fees and
amounts paid to any collection agency, or reasonably incurred by the other party
in  connection  with any breach or default  beyond  applicable  grace and notice
periods  by the first  party  under this  Leasehold  Improvements  Agreement  or
incurred  in  order  to  enforce  the  terms  or  provisions  of this  Leasehold
Improvements Agreement. Such amounts shall be payable within thirty (30) days of
demand.  In addition,  if any action shall be instituted  by either  Landlord or
Tenant for the enforcement or interpretation of any of its rights or remedies in

                                       47


or under this Lease,  the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the
losing party all costs incurred by the  prevailing  party in said action and any
appeal therefrom,  including  reasonable attorneys fees and costs to be fixed by
the court or  arbitrators  therein.  In the event  Landlord  or Tenant is made a
party to any  litigation  between the other party and any third party,  then the
other party shall pay all costs and  attorneys  fees incurred by or imposed upon
the first party in connection with such litigation;  provided,  however,  if the
first  party is  ultimately  held to be  liable,  then  the  first  party  shall
reimburse the other party for the cost of any  attorneys  fees paid by the other
party on behalf of the first party.

         19.  Waiver.  Waiver by a party of any breach of any term,  covenant or
condition contained in this Leasehold Improvements Agreement shall not be deemed
to be a waiver of such term,  covenant or condition or of any subsequent  breach
of the same or of any other  term,  covenant,  or  condition  contained  in this
Agreement.  A party's consent to, or approval of, any act shall not be deemed to
render  unnecessary  the obtaining of a party's  consent to, or approval of, any
subsequent  act by the other party.  The  acceptance by a party of rent or other
sums  payable  under the Lease by the other party in amounts less than that owed
by the other  party  shall not be deemed a waiver of the  amounts  not paid or a
waiver of any other breach or default under this  Agreement or the Lease,  other
than  failure  of the  other  party to pay the  particular  rent or other sum so
accepted,  regardless of the first party's knowledge of such preceding breach at
the time of acceptance of such rent, or sum equivalent to rent.

         20.  Captions.  The  captions  of  the  paragraphs  of  this  Leasehold
Improvements  Agreement are for convenience of reference only, are not a part of
this  Leasehold  Improvements  Agreement,  and shall not be deemed in any way to
define or limit the terms and provisions of the paragraph to which they refer.

         21.  Governing  Law. This  Leasehold  Improvements  Agreement  shall be
construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

         22. Miscellaneous Matters.

                  (a)  Covenants  and  Conditions.  The  covenants of Tenant set
forth  in this  Leasehold  Improvements  Agreement  shall be  deemed  also to be
conditions.

                  (b)  Relationship  of  Landlord  and  Tenant.  Nothing in this
Leasehold  Improvements  Agreement  shall be deemed or  construed  as creating a
partnership,  joint  venture  or  agency  between  Tenant  and  Landlord  or any
relationship between them other than that of landlord and tenant.

         3.1 Commencement and Completion.  Borrower shall commence  construction
of the  Improvements  without  delay  immediately  after,  but not  before,  the
Effective Date, shall diligently continue construction to completion,  and shall
complete

                                       3




construction of the Improvements (other than the interior improvements for which
Lender is  responsible  pursuant to the Lease (the "Lease")  dated  September 5,
1991, between Borrower,  as landlord,  and Lender, as tenant) on or before April
1, 1992.

         3.2  Construction.  Borrower shall construct the Improvements in a good
and workmanlike  manner in accordance with the Plans and  Specifications and the
recommendations  of any soils or  engineering  report  approved  by  Lender.  In
constructing the  Improvements,  Borrower shall comply with all applicable laws,
ordinances,  rules, regulations,  building restrictions,  recorded covenants and
restrictions, and requirements of all regulatory authorities having jurisdiction
over  the  Improvements  or  the  Property  (collectively  "Requirements").   If
necessary,  the Plans and  Specifications  shall be  modified to comply with the
Requirements, subject to the provisions of section 3.3 hereof.

         3.3 Plans and  Specifications.  Except as  otherwise  provided  in this
Article  3,  there  shall be no change in the Plans and  Specifications  without
Lender's prior written  approval.  Requests for approval shall be submitted on a
change order form  acceptable  to Lender  signed by Borrower and, if required by
Lender, the project architect and the general contractor, accompanied by working
drawings and a written  narrative of the proposed  change.  As conditions to its
approval,  (a)  Lender  may  require  satisfactory  evidence  of the cost of the
proposed  change and the time necessary to complete the proposed  change and (b)
to the  extent  Lender  determines  that the  proposed  change  will  result  in
increased cost,  Lender may require Borrower to deposit  Borrower's Funds in the
amount of the increased cost into the Account in accordance  with section 2.1(b)
hereof.  Borrower  acknowledges that this approval process may result in delays.
Upon  Lender's  request,   Borrower,  the  project  architect  and  the  general
contractor shall initial the copy of the Plans and Specifications  delivered to,
and approved by, Lender as a true copy of the Plans and  Specifications  for the
Improvements.  Borrower  shall  maintain  at all  times  a full  set of  working
drawings for the  Improvements  available for  inspection by Lender.  Within ten
(10)days  after  Lender's  request,  Borrower  shall deliver to Lender  complete
as-built Plans and Specifications for the completed Improvements.

         3.4 Changes in Plans and  Specifications.  The prior written consent of
Lender  shall not be required  for any  changes in the Plans and  Specifications
unless such change (a) constitutes a material change in the building material or
equipment  specifications or the architectural or structural  design,  value, or
quality of any of the  Improvements,  or  (b)would  result in an increase in any
item of  construction  cost in excess of one thousand  dollars  ($1,000) for any
single  change or in  excess  of ten  thousand  dollars  ($10,000)  for all such
changes in such items of  construction  cost, or (c) would affect the structural
integrity,  quality of building material or equipment,  or overall efficiency of
operating  systems or utility systems of the Improvements.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  Borrower  shall  submit  all  proposed  changes  in  the  Plans  and
Specifications  to Lender at least ten (10) days  prior to the  commencement  of
construction relating to such proposed change, whether or not any such change is
subject to Lender's approval.

         3.5  Construction   Information;   Inspections.   Lender  is  expressly
authorized to contact any contractor, subcontractor or material supplier and, at
all reasonable times, to enter the Property and inspect the Improvements and the
work of construction in order to verify  information  disclosed pursuant to this
section or for any other  purpose.  From time to time,  and within ten (10) days
after Lender's request, Borrower shall deliver to Lender:

         supplier to be employed or used for  construction  of the  Improvements
         and (ii) the dollar amount, including changes, if any, of each contract
         and subcontract, and the portion thereof, if any, paid through the date
         of such list; and

                  (b) Copies of each contract and subcontract identified in such
         list, including any changes thereto; and

                  (c) A cost breakdown,  in a form acceptable to Lender, stating
         the estimated total cost of  constructing  the  Improvements,  and that
         portion, if any, of each cost item (i) which has been incurred and (ii)
         which has been paid, all as of the date of such cost breakdown; and

                  (d) A construction  progress schedule, in a form acceptable to
         Lender,   showing  the  progress  of  construction  and  the  estimated

Borrower shall not contract for any materials, furnishings,  equipment, fixtures
or other parts or components of the Improvements,  or other property for the use
or occupancy of the Property or the Improvements,  if any third party retains or
purports to retain any  interest  (other than lien  rights,  if any,  created by
operation of law) in such items after their  delivery to the Property.  Borrower
shall have five (5) days to effect the removal of any such retained interest.

         3.7 Liens and Stop  Notices.  If a claim of lien is recorded  affecting
the Property or the  Improvements  or a bonded stop notice is served upon Lender
which affects the Loan or Borrower's Funds,  Borrower shall,  within twenty (20)
days after such  recording  or  service or within  five (5) days after  Lender's
demand  (whichever  last occurs):  (a) pay and discharge the same; or (b) effect
the  release  thereof by  recording  or  delivering  to Lender a surety  bond in
sufficient  form and amount;  or (c) provide Lender with other  assurance  which
Lender deems, in its sole discretion, to be satisfactory for the payment of such
lien or bonded stop notice and for the full and continuous  protection of Lender
from the effect of such lien or bonded stop notice.

         3.8 Construction responsibilities. Borrower shall be solely responsible
for all  aspects of  Borrower's  business  and  conduct in  connection  with the
Property  and the  Improvements,including,  but not  limited to, the quality and
suitability  of the  Plans and  Specifications  and  their  compliance  with the
Requirements,  the supervision of the work of construction,  the qualifications,
financial condition and performance of all architects,  engineers,  contractors,
material suppliers,  consultants and property managers,  and the accuracy of all
applications for payment and the proper application of all disbursements. Lender
is not obligated to supervise,  inspect or inform Borrower or any third party of
any aspect of the  construction of the Improvements or any other matter referred
to in this section.  Any inspection or review by Lender is to determine  whether
Borrower is properly discharging its obligations to Lender and may not be relied
upon by Borrower or any third party.  Lender owes no duty of care to Borrower or
any third party to

                                       5




protect  against,  or to inform  Borrower or any third party of, any  negligent,
faulty, inadequate or defective design or construction of the Improvements.

         3.9  Improvement  District.  Without  Lender's  prior written  consent,
Borrower  shall  not,  directly  or  indirectly,   advocate  or  assist  in  the
incorporation of any of the Property or the Improvements into any improvement or
other assessment district.

         3.10 Delay.  Borrower  shall  promptly  notify Lender in writing of any
event causing delay or interruption of construction or the timely  completion of
construction. The notice shall specify the particular work delayed and the cause
and period of each delay.

         3.11 Surveys.  At Lender's  request,  Borrower shall deliver to Lender:
(a) a perimeter  survey of the Property;  (b) upon completion of the foundations
of the  Improvements,  a survey showing the location of the  Improvements on the
Property  and showing  that the  Improvements  are located  entirely  within the
Property and do not  encroach  upon any easement or breach or violate any of the
Requirements;  and (c) upon completion of the  Improvements,  an as-built survey
acceptable  to a title  insurer  for  purposes of issuing an ALTA Loan Policy of
title  insurance.  All such surveys  shall be made and certified by a registered
engineer or licensed surveyor.

         3.12  Force  Majeure.   The  time  within  which  construction  of  the
Improvements  must be completed  shall be extended for a period of time equal to
the period of any delay directly affecting the construction work which is caused
by fire, earthquake,  inclement weather,  strike, lockout, acts of public enemy,
riot, insurrection,  or governmental regulation of the sale or transportation of
materials,  supplies or labor,  provided Borrower  furnishes Lender with written
notice of any such delay within seven (7) days after the  occurrence of any such
delay. In no event,  however,  shall the time for completion of the Improvements
(other than the interior  improvements for which Lender is responsible  pursuant
to the Lease) be extended beyond July 1, 1992.

         3.13 Construction Agreement. Borrower and a general contractor approved
by Lender ("Contractor") will enter into a construction agreement ("Construction
Agreement"),  pursuant to which  Contractor  will construct the  Improvements in
accordance with the Plans and Specifications.  Borrower shall require Contractor
to perform in accordance  with the  Construction  Agreement and shall not amend,
modify or terminate the duties of Contractor  under the  Construction  Agreement
without Lender's prior written consent.  Upon Lender's  request,  Borrower shall
execute an  assignment of the  Construction  Agreement to Lender as security for
Borrower's  obligations  under the Loan Documents and shall cause the Contractor
to consent to any such assignment.

         3.14   Architect's   Agreement.   Borrower   and   Forsher   &  Guthrie
("Architect") have entered into the Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and
Architect  for  Designated   Services   dated  August  21,  1991   ("Architect's
Agreement"), pursuant to which Architect is to design and supervise construction
of the  Improvements.  Borrower shall require Architect to perform in accordance
with the  Architect's  Agreement  and shall not amend,  modify or terminate  the
duties of Architect  under the  Architect's  Agreement  without  Lender's  prior
written consent. Upon Lender's request,  Borrower shall execute an assignment of
the Architect's Agreement and the Plans and Specifications to Lender as security
for  Borrower's  obligations  under

                                       6




the Loan  Documents  and  shall  cause  the  Architect  to  consent  to any such
assignment.

         3.15 Bonds. Within five (5) days after Lender's request, Borrower shall
procure from a surety acceptable to Lender, and deliver to Lender,  dual obligee
performance and labor and material payment bonds in a form, substance and amount

recorded and the Construction  Agreement to be filed in the office of the County
Recorder of the County where the Property is located.

         3.16 Contractors. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, disapprove
any contractor, subcontractor or material supplier whom Lender deems financially
or  otherwise  unqualified.  The  absence  of any  such  disapproval  shall  not
constitute a representation of qualifications.

         3.17  Completion  of  Plans  and  Specifications.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing  provisions of Articles 1, 2 and 3, Borrower and Lender recognize that
the  Plans  and   Specifications   (Exhibit   B),  the   Financial   Requirement
Analysis.(Exhibit  D) and  the  Disbursement  Plan  (Exhibit  E) have  not  been
completed as of the date of this  Agreement  and will not be completed as of the
Effective Date. Accordingly,  Exhibits B, D and E attached to this Agreement are
incomplete.  Borrower  shall,  on or before November 1, 1991, (a) cause complete
Plans and  Specifications  for the  Improvements  to be prepared,  (b) prepare a
final  construction cost budget based on the complete Plans and  Specifications,
(c) enter into the  Construction  Agreement with the Contractor  consistent with
the complete Plans and  Specifications  and the final  construction cost budget,
and  (d)  obtain  all  required   building   permits  for  construction  of  the
Improvements. The complete Plans and Specifications, the final construction cost
budget,  the Contractor and the  Construction  Agreement shall be subject to the
prior written  approval of Lender.  Upon such  approval by Lender,  Borrower and
Lender each shall execute and deliver an amendment to this Agreement  containing
Exhibits B, D and E, which shall become part of this Agreement,  on the basis of
the complete Plans and  Specifications  and the final  construction  cost budget
approved by Lender.  The total amount of the Loan shall not exceed three million
dollars  ($3,000,000),  and  Borrower  shall pay all costs  over  three  million
dollars  ($3,000,000)  necessary to complete the Improvements in accordance with
this Agreement.

         3.18 Grading and Drainage work.  Borrower has submitted to Lender,  and
Lender has approved,  plans for the grading and drainage work,  which consist of
Sheet 1  (improvement  plan),  Sheets 2 and 3 (grading and  drainage  plans) and
Sheet 4 (signing and striping  plan for the parking  area) dated August 1, 1991,
prepared by Oberkamper & Associates.  The portion of the Loan  allocated to such
grading and drainage  work is three  hundred six  thousand  two hundred  dollars
($306,200).  Borrower  shall  commence  such grading and drainage  work promptly
after the Effective Date,  Borrower shall perform such grading and drainage work
in accordance with such approved  plans,  and Lender shall disburse such portion
of the Loan  allocated  to such  grading  and  drainage  work  pursuant  to this
Agreement as the work progresses.

builder's risk completed value hazard insurance,  with a vandalism and malicious
mischief  endorsement and such other  endorsements as Lender may require,  in an

policy shall contain an agreed value clause sufficient (as determined by Lender)
to eliminate any risk of co-insurance.

         4.3 Liability  Insurance.  Borrower shall procure and maintain a policy
of comprehensive  public liability  insurance and property damage insurance with

insured.

         4.4  Blanket  Coverage.  Lender  may  accept,  at its  option,  blanket

required by the Requirements,  the Deed of Trust or applicable law. Lender shall
receive the originals of all required insurance  policies,  or other evidence of

until  the  Loan is  repaid.  All  insurance  policies  shall  provide  that the
insurance  shall not be  cancellable or materially  changed  without thirty (30)
days' prior written notice to Lender.  All insurance policies shall be issued by
licensed insurance companies acceptable to Lender.


                                    ARTICLE 5

                         Representations and warranties

         Borrower  hereby  represents and warrants to Lender as of the Effective
Date and continuing thereafter as follows:

         5.1  Authority.  Borrower  has complied  with all laws and  regulations
concerning its organization, existence and transaction of business. Borrower has
the  right  and  power  to own  and  develop  the  Property  and  construct  the
Improvements  as  contemplated  in the Loan  Documents.  Borrower has, or at all
appropriate  times shall have,  properly  obtained  all  permits,  licenses  and
approvals  necessary to construct,  occupy,  operate and lease the Improvements,
and complied with the  Requirements  and all other  applicable  statutes,  laws,
regulations and ordinances.

         5.2  Enforceability.  Borrower is  authorized  to execute,  deliver and
perform under the Loan Documents, which are legal, valid and binding obligations
of Borrower, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

                                       8




         5.3 No Violation.  Borrower's undertakings in the Loan Documents do not
violate any of the Requirements or any other applicable statute, law, regulation
or  ordinance  or any order or ruling of any court or  governmental  entity,  or
conflict with, or constitute a breach or default  under,  any agreement by which
Borrower is, or the  Property  and the  Improvements  are,  bound or  regulated.
Borrower is not in violation of any statute, law, regulation or ordinance, or of
any order of any court or governmental entity.  There are no claims,  actions or
proceedings pending or, to Borrower's knowledge,  threatened against Borrower or
affecting the Property or the Improvements.

         5.4  Financial  Information.  All  financial  information  delivered to
Lender,  including,  without limitation,  information  relating to the financial
condition of Borrower, the Property, the Improvements,  or partners of Borrower,
fairly and accurately  represents such financial condition and has been prepared
in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles   consistently
applied, unless otherwise noted in such information.  No material adverse change
in such financial condition has occurred.

         5.5 Accuracy.  All reports,  documents,  instruments,  information  and
forms of evidence  delivered  to Lender  concerning  the Loan or required by the
Loan Documents are accurate,  correct and  sufficiently  complete to give Lender
true and accurate  knowledge  of their  subject  matter,  and do not contain any
misrepresentation or omission.

         5.6 Adequacy of Loan.  The  undisbursed  Loan  proceeds,  together with
Borrower's Funds and all other sums (if any) to be provided by Borrower as shown
in Exhibit D, are sufficient to do all of the things specified in section 2.1(b)
hereof.

         5.7 Taxes.  Borrower has filed all required federal,  state, county and
municipal  tax returns  and has paid all taxes owed and  payable,  and  Borrower
knows of no basis for additional assessment with respect to any taxes.

         5.8 Utilities.  All utility services,  including,  without  limitation,
gas,  water,  sewer,  drainage,  electrical  and  telephone,  necessary  for the
development, construction and occupancy of the Property and the Improvements are
available at or within the boundaries of the Property, or Borrower has taken all
steps  necessary  to assure that all utility  services  will be  available  upon
completion of the Improvements.

         5.9  Compliance.  Borrower  is  familiar  with  all  Requirements.  The
development  of the  Property  and the  construction  of the  Improvements  will
conform to and comply with the Requirements and the Plans and Specifications.

                  (g)  Involuntary  Bankruptcy.  Borrower's  failure to effect a
         full dismissal of any involuntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or
         any other Debtor  Relief Law that is filed  against  Borrower or in any
         way  restrains or limits  Borrower or Lender  regarding  the Loan,  the
         Property or the  Improvements  prior to the earlier of the entry of any
         order granting relief sought in the involuntary petition or thirty (30)
         days after the date of filing of the petition; or

                  (h) Partners; Guarantors. The occurrence of an event specified
         in section  6.1(f) or section  6-1(g) hereof as to any person or entity
         in any manner obligated to Lender under the Loan Documents

         6.2  Acceleration.  Upon  the  occurrence  of a  Default  specified  in
sections  6.1(a) through 6.1(e)  hereof,  inclusive,  Lender may, at its option,
declare  all sums owing to Lender  under the Note and the other  Loan  documents
immediately  due and  payable.  Upon the  occurrence  of a Default  specified in
section 6.1(f),  6.1(g) or 6.1(h) hereof,  or upon the occurrence of any default
or event of default  specified in any of the Loan Documents  which provides that
acceleration  shall be  automatic,  all  sums  owing to  Lender  under  the Loan
Documents  shall  automatically   become  immediately  due  and  payable.   Upon
acceleration,  Lender may, in  addition to other uses  permitted  under the Loan
Documents,  apply  undisbursed  Loan proceeds and any sums in the Account to the
sums owing to Lender under the Loan Documents.

         6.3  Disbursement by Lender.  Upon the occurrence of a Default which is
occasioned  by  Borrower's  failure to pay money,  Lender may,  but shall not be
obligated,  to make such payment from Loan proceeds,  Borrower's Funds, or other
funds of  Lender.  If such  payment  is made from  proceeds  of the Loan or from
Borrower's Funds, Borrower shall deposit with Lender, upon written demand issued
pursuant to section  2.1(b)  hereof,  an amount equal to such  payment.  If such
payment  is made from  funds of  Lender,  Borrower  shall  repay such funds upon
demand issued  pursuant to section 6.6 hereof.  In either case, the Default with
respect to which any such  payment  has been made by Lender  shall not be deemed
cured  until  such  deposit or  repayment  (as the case may be) has been made by
Borrower.

         6.4 Lender's Completion of Construction. If Default occurs, Lender may,
upon five (5)  days'  written  notice to  Borrower,  and with or  without  legal
process,  take possession of the Property and the Improvements,  remove Borrower
and all agents,  employees and contractors of Borrower from the Property and the
Improvements,  complete the work of  construction,  and market and sell or lease
the Property and the Improvements.  Borrower  irrevocably appoints Lender as its
attorney-in-fact, which agency is coupled with an interest. As attorney-in-fact,
Lender may, in Borrower's  name, take or omit to take any action Lender may deem
appropriate,  including, without limitation,  exercising Borrower's rights under
the  Loan   Documents  and  all  contracts   concerning   the  Property  or  the
Improvements.

                                       11




         6.5  Cessation  of   Construction.   If  Lender   determines  that  the
Improvements  are not  being  constructed  in  accordance  with  the  Plans  and
Specifications,  the  Requirements or the Loan  Documents,  Lender may order all
construction  on  any  of  the   Improvements   affected  by  the  condition  of
nonconformance  immediately stopped.  After such order, Borrower shall not allow
any construction work, other than corrective work, to be performed on any of the
Improvements  affected by the condition of nonconformance  until Lender notifies
Borrower in writing that the nonconforming condition has been corrected.

         6.6  Repayment  of  Funds  Advanced.  If  Lender  spends  its  funds in
exercising any of its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents, the amount of
funds spent shall be payable to Lender upon demand,  together  with  interest at
the rate  applicable  to the  principal  balance  of the Note  after  default or
maturity as specified therein, from the date the funds were spent. Until repaid,
such amounts shall have the security afforded disbursements under the Note.

         6.7 Right of  Contest.  Borrower  may  contest in good faith any claim,
demand,  levy or assessment  (other than liens and stop  notices,  provision for
which is made in Article 3 hereof) by any person  other than Lender  which would
constitute a Default if (a)  Borrower  pursues the contest  diligently  and in a
manner which Lender  determines is not prejudicial to Lender and does not impair
the rights of Lender  under any of the Loan  Documents  and (b) if  requested by
Lender,  Borrower  deposits  with Lender any funds or other  forms of  assurance
Lender in good faith from time to time determines  appropriate to protect Lender
from the consequences of the contest being unsuccessful.  Borrower's  compliance
with  this  section  shall  operate  to  prevent  such  claim,  demand,  levy or
assessment from becoming a Default.


                                    ARTICLE 7

                            Miscellaneous Provisions

         7.1 Expenses.  Borrower shall pay within five (5) days Lender's  demand
all reasonable and necessary expenses incidental to making the Loan,  including,
without   limitation,   preclosing  and  closing   expenses,   commitment  fees,
architectural  and engineering  review  expenses,  appraisal fees,  construction
inspection fees and attorneys' fees, incurred by Lender; provided, however, that
Borrower  shall not be required to pay more than the total  amount of  sixty-two
thousand five hundred dollars ($62,500) on account of such expenses.

         7.2 Financial  Information.  Within one hundred twenty (120) days after
the end of  Borrower's  tax year,  Borrower  shall  deliver  to Lender a current
signed financial  statement,  income and expense  statement and balance sheet of
Borrower.  Borrower  shall also  deliver to Lender such  quarterly,  periodic or
other  financial  information  as Lender may  request.  If Borrower  has audited
financial information prepared,  Borrower shall deliver to Lender copies of that
information  within five (5) days after its preparation.  All financial  reports
shall be prepared in accordance with generally  accepted  accounting  principles
consistently applied, or other form acceptable to Lender.

         7.3 Indemnity.  Borrower  indemnifies Lender against,  and holds Lender
harmless from,  any losses,  damages,  liabilities,  claims,  demands,  actions,

                                       12




judgments,  court costs and legal or other expenses  (including  attorneys' fees
and  disbursements)  which Lender may incur as a direct or indirect  consequence
of: (i) the making of the Loan,  except for violations of laws or regulations by
Lender;  or (ii)  Borrower's  failure to  perform  any  obligations  as and when
required  by this  Agreement  or any of the other Loan  Documents;  or (iii) any
failure at any time of any of  Borrower's  representations  or  warranties to be
true and  correct;  or (iv) any act or omission  by  Borrower,  any  contractor,
subcontractor or material supplier,  or any engineer,  architect or other person
or entity  with  respect to any of the  Property or the  Improvements.  Borrower
shall pay  immediately  upon  Lender's  demand  any  amounts  owing  under  this
indemnity  together with interest  from the date the  indebtedness  arises until
paid at the rate of interest  applicable  to the  principal  balance of the Note
after  default or maturity as specified  therein.  Borrower's  duty to indemnify
Lender  shall  survive  the  release  and  cancellation  of  the  Note  and  the
reconveyance or partial reconveyance of the Deed of Trust.

         7.4  Books and  Records.  Borrower  shall  maintain  complete  books of
account  and  other  records  for  the  Property  and the  Improvements  and for
disbursement  and use of the Loan proceeds and  Borrower's  Funds,  and the same
shall be available for inspection and copying by Lender.

         7.5 Further Assurances.  At Lender's request and at Borrower's expense,
Borrower  shall  execute,  acknowledge  and  deliver any other  instruments  and
perform any other acts necessary,  desirable or proper (as determined by Lender)
to carry out the  purposes of the Loan  Documents or to perfect and preserve any
liens created by the Loan Documents.

         7.6  Form of  Documents.  The  form  and  substance  of all  documents,
instruments,  and forms of evidence to be delivered to Lender under the terms of
any of the Loan Documents shall be subject to Lender's approval and shall not be
modified, superseded or terminated in any respect without Lender's prior written
approval.

         7.7 No Third  Parties  Benefited.  No  person  other  than  Lender  and
Borrower  and their  permitted  successors  and assigns  shall have any right of
action under any of the Loan Documents.

         7.8 Notices.  All written  notices and demands under the Loan Documents
shall be deemed served upon  delivery or, if mailed,  upon receipt after deposit
in United  States  Postal  Service  by  certified  mail,  postage  prepaid,  and
addressed to the address of Borrower or Lender appearing below. Notice of change
of address may be given in the same manner, provided Borrower's address shall be
in the State of California.

         7.9  Authority  to File  Notices.  Borrower  irrevocably  appoints  and
authorizes Lender, as Borrower's attorney-in-fact,  which agency is coupled with
an  interest,  to execute  and/or  record in  Lender's  or  Borrower's  name any
notices,  instruments  or  documents  that Lender deems  appropriate  to protect
Lender's interest under any of the Loan Documents.

         7.10 Actions.  Lender may  commence,  appear in or defend any action or
proceeding  purporting  to  affect  the  Property,  the  Improvements,  the Loan
Documents or the rights,  duties or  liabilities of Borrower or Lender under the
Loan  Documents.  In exercising  this right,  Lender may incur and pay costs and
expenses,

                                       13




including,  without  limitation,  attorneys' fees and court costs,  and Borrower
agrees to pay all such expenses so incurred or paid.

         7.11  Relationship of Parties.  The relationship of Borrower and Lender
under the Loan  Documents  is,  and shall at all times  remain,  solely  that of
borrower and lender. No partnership,  joint venture or fiduciary relationship of
any kind or nature  whatsoever  exists between  Borrower and Lender and Borrower
and Lender are not  members of any joint or common  enterprise.  Lender  neither
undertakes  nor assumes any  responsibility  or duty to Borrower or to any third
party with respect to the  Property,  the  Improvements  or the Loan,  except as
expressly provided in the Loan Documents.

         7.12 Lender's Delay. Lender shall not be liable in any way for Lender's
failure to perform or delay in performing  under the Loan Documents,  and Lender
may suspend or terminate  all or any portion of Lender's  obligations  under the
Loan Documents if Lender's delay or failure results directly or indirectly from,
or is based upon, the action, inaction, or purported action, of any governmental
or  local  authority,   or  any  war  (whether  declared  or  not),   rebellion,
insurrection,  strike,  lock-out,  boycott or  blockade  (whether  presently  in
effect,  announced or in the sole  judgment of Lender deemed  probable),  or any
other cause or event beyond Lender's control.

         7.13 Attorneys' Fees; Enforcement. If any attorney is engaged by Lender
to enforce, construe or defend any provision of any of the Loan Documents, or as
a consequence of any Default or event of default under the Loan Documents,  with
or without the filing of any legal action or  proceeding,  Borrower shall pay to
Lender,  immediately  upon  demand,  the  amount  of  all  attorneys'  fees  and
disbursements incurred by Lender in connection therewith, together with interest
thereon from the date of such demand at the rate of interest  applicable  to the
principal balance of the Note after default or maturity as specified therein.

         7.14 Assignment.  Borrower shall not assign  Borrower's  interest under
any of the Loan  Documents,  or in any monies  due or to become due  thereunder,
without  Lender's prior written  consent.  Any assignment made without  Lender's
consent shall be void. Borrower recognizes that this is not an ordinary loan and
that Lender would not make this Loan except in reliance on Borrower's  expertise
and reputation,  Lender's knowledge of Borrower, and Lender's understanding that
this Agreement is more in the nature of an agreement involving personal services
than a standard loan where Lender would rely on security  which already  exists.
In this instance,  the Improvements are not constructed and Lender is relying on
Borrower's  expertise and prior experience to develop the Property and construct
the Improvements in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

         7.15 Disclosure of Information. If Lender elects to sell participations
in the Loan, Lender may forward to each participant and prospective  participant
all  documents  and  information  relating to the Loan and all parties  thereto,
whether furnished by Borrower or otherwise.

         7.16 Signs.  Lender may place on the Property signs stating that Lender
is providing construction financing.

         7.17 Lender's Agents. Lender may designate an agent,  representative or
independent  contractor  to  exercise  any of  Lender's  rights  under  the Loan

                                       14




Documents.  Any reference to Lender in any of the Loan  Documents  shall include
Lender's agents, employees, representatives or independent contractors.

         7.18  Severability.  If any  provision of the Loan  Documents  shall be
determined  by a court of  competent  jurisdiction  to be  invalid,  illegal  or
unenforceable,  that portion shall be deemed severed from the Loan Documents and
the remaining parts shall remain in full force as though the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable portion were not part of the Loan Documents.

         7.19 Heirs,  Successors  and Assigns.  The terms of the Loan  Documents
shall  be  binding  upon  and  inure  to  the  benefit  of the  heirs,  personal
representatives,  successors and assigns of the parties;  provided however, that
this section does not waive the provisions of section 7.14 hereof.

         7.20 Rights  Cumulative,  No Waiver.  All Lender's  rights and remedies
provided in the Loan Documents,  granted by law or otherwise, are cumulative and
may be exercised by Lender at any time. Lender's exercise of any right or remedy
shall not  constitute a cure of any Default unless all sums then due and payable
to Lender under the Loan  Documents  are repaid and Borrower has cured all other
Defaults.  No waiver shall be implied from any failure of Lender to take, or any
delay by Lender in taking, action concerning any Default or failure of condition
under  the Loan  Documents,  or from  any  previous  waiver  of any  similar  or
unrelated  Default or failure of condition.  Any waiver or approval under any of
the Loan  Documents  must be in writing  and shall be  limited  to its  specific
terms.

         7.21 Time. Time is of the essence of each term of the Loan Documents.

         7.22 Headings.  All headings appearing in any of the Loan Documents are
for convenience only and shall be disregarded in construing the Loan Documents.

         7.23  Governing  Law.  The Loan  Documents  shall be  governed  by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of California.

         7.24  Integration;   Interpretation.  The  Loan  Documents  contain  or
expressly  incorporate  by  reference  the entire  agreement of the parties with
respect to the matters contemplated herein and supersede all prior negotiations.
The Loan Documents shall not be modified except by written  instrument  executed
by all parties.  Any  reference in any of the Loan  Documents to the Property or
the  Improvements  shall  include  all  or any  parts  of  the  Property  or the
Improvements.  Any reference to the Loan  Documents in any of the Loan Documents
includes any amendments,  renewals or extensions  approved in writing by Lender.
Any reference in this Agreement to the Loan  Documents  shall include all or any
of the  provisions  of  this  Agreement  and the  other  Loan  Documents  unless
otherwise specified.

         7.25 Joint and  Several  Liability.  The  liability  of all persons and
entities who are in any manner  obligated  under any of the Loan Documents shall
be joint and several.

                                       15




         7.26 Incorporation. Exhibits A, B, C, D and E, all attached hereto, are
incorporated into this Agreement.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower and Lender have executed this Construction
Loan Agreement as of the date first hereinabove written.

                  the Required  Participants  as provided in Paragraph  6.03 and
                  (B) Agent may  exercise  any or all of the rights and remedies

                  afforded Lessor,  under this Agreement and the other Operative
                  Documents.

                           (iii)  Neither Agent nor any  Participant  shall have
                  any right,  title or interest in the  Property  except for the

         each Scheduled Rent Payment Date  occurring  under the Lease  Agreement
         during the Commitment  Period, the Base Rent due on such Scheduled Rent

         of  such  Base  Rent  as an  Improvement/Expense  Advance  made on such
         Scheduled Rent Payment Date. Agent shall notify Lessee, Lessor and each
         Participant  of the amount of the Base Rent due on each such  Scheduled

         2.04.    Fees.

                  (a)  Agent's  Fees.  Lessee  shall pay to  Agent,  for its own
         account,  agent's fees in the amounts and at the times set forth in the

                  (b)  Commitment  Fees.  Lessee  shall  pay to  Agent,  for the
         ratable  benefit of the  Participants  as  provided  in clause  (ii) of
         Subparagraph  2.06(c),  commitment  fees  (the  "Commitment  Fees")  as
         follows:

                           (i) Lessee  shall pay  Commitment  Fees of twenty one
                  hundredths  of one  percent  (0.20%)  per  annum on the  daily
                  average Unused 364-Day  Commitment for the 364-Day  Commitment
                  Period.

                           (ii)  Lessee  shall  pay  Commitment  Fees of  thirty
                  hundredths  of one  percent  (0.30%)  per  annum on the  daily
                  average   Unused   Thirty-Month   Commitment  for  the  entire
                  Commitment Period.

         Lessee shall pay the  Commitment  Fees in arrears on the first Business
         Day in each January,  April,  July and October  (commencing July, 1998)
         and on the Commitment  Termination  Date (or if the Total Commitment is
         cancelled on a date prior to such day, on such prior date).

                  (c)  364-Day  Commitment  Extension  Fee.  If  Lessor  and the
         Participants  consent  to  any  extension  of  the  364-Day  Commitment
         Termination Date requested by Lessee pursuant to Subparagraph  2.09(a),
         Lessee  shall pay to Agent,  for the ratable  benefit of Lessor and the
         Participants  as provided in clause (iii) of Subparagraph  2.06(c),  an
         extension fee (the  "364-Day  Commitment  Extension  Fee") equal to one
         tenth of one percent  (0.10%) of the Unused  364-Day  Commitment on the
         original  364-Day  Commitment  Termination  Date.  Lessee shall pay the
         364-Day  Commitment  Extension Fee on or prior to the original  364-Day
         Commitment Termination Date.

         2.05.    Funding of Advances.

                  (a) Participant  Funding and  Disbursement.  Each  Participant
         shall, before 11:00 a.m. on the date of each Advance, make available to
         Agent  at its  office  specified  in  Paragraph  7.01,  in same  day or
         immediately available funds, such Participant's  Proportionate Share of
         such Advance.  After Agent's receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment
         of the  applicable  conditions  set  forth in  Section  3,  Agent  will
         promptly  disburse  such  funds on  behalf  of  Lessor,  in same day or
         immediately  available  funds,  as

                                       7


         directed  by Lessee  in the  Advance  Request  for such  Advance.  Each
         Acquisition  Advance  shall be disbursed to an escrow or other  account
         established  for  payment  of the  Acquisition  Price  and any  related
         Permitted Transaction Expenses pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement or
         otherwise  as directed by Lessee in the  Acquisition  Advance  Request.
         Each  Improvement/Expense  Advance  shall be  disbursed  as directed by
         Lessee in the Advance Request for such Improvement/Expense Advance.

                  (b)  Participant  Failure  to Fund.  Unless  Agent  shall have
         received  notice  from a  Participant  prior to the date of any Advance
         that  such   Participant   will  not  make   available  to  Agent  such
         Participant's  Proportionate  Share of such  Advance,  Agent may assume
         that such  Participant has made such portion  available to Agent on the
         date of such Advance in accordance with Subparagraph 2.05(a), and Agent
         may, in reliance upon such assumption, disburse the full amount of such
         Advance on such date; provided,  however, that neither Agent nor Lessor
         shall have any obligation to make an Advance requested  hereunder in an
         amount which exceeds the aggregate amount of funds actually received by
         Agent  from  the   Participants   on   account   of  their   respective
         Proportionate  Shares of such Advance. If any Participant does not make
         the amount of its Proportionate Share of any Advance available to Agent
         on or prior to the date such  Advance  is made,  Agent  promptly  shall
         notify such Participant of such failure and such Participant  shall pay
         to Agent,  on demand,  interest which shall accrue on such amount until
         made  available to Agent at rates equal to (i) the daily  Federal Funds
         Rate during the period from the date of such Advance  through the third
         Business Day  thereafter and (ii) the Base Rate plus two percent (2.0%)
         thereafter.  A certificate of Agent submitted to any  Participant  with
         respect to any amounts owing under this  Subparagraph  2.05(b) shall be
         conclusive  absent manifest error. If any  Participant's  Proportionate
         Share of any  Advance  is not in fact made  available  to Agent by such
         Participant  within  three  (3)  Business  Days  after the date of such
         Advance,  Lessee shall pay to Agent, on demand, an amount equal to such
         Proportionate  Share together with interest thereon,  for each day from
         the date such amount was made  available  to Lessee until the date such
         amount is repaid to Agent, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate.

                  (c)  Participants'  Obligations  Several.  The  failure of any
         Participant  to fund its  Proportionate  Share of any Advance shall not
         relieve any other  Participant of its obligation  hereunder to fund its
         Proportionate  Share  of such  Advance,  and no  Participant  shall  be
         responsible  for the  failure  of any  other  Participant  to fund  its
         Proportionate Share of any Advance on the date of such Advance.

         2.06.    Sharing of Payments.

                  (a) Outstanding  Lease Amount or any Portion  thereof.  Lessor
         shall share payments applied to reduce the Outstanding  Lease Amount or
         any Portion thereof as follows:

                           (i) Each payment of the  Outstanding  Lease Amount or
                  any Portion  thereof  derived from the purchase  price paid by
                  Lessee (or an Assignee  Purchaser)  to purchase  the  Property

                  retention of such Property by Lessor  following the Expiration
                  Date of the Lease  Agreement,  upon  foreclosure or otherwise)
                  shall be shared first by the Tranche B  Participants  pro rata

                  Participants   pro  rata   according   to   their   respective
                  Outstanding  Participation Amounts at the time of such payment
                  if such payment is made in any other circumstance.

                  (b) Base  Rent.  Each  payment  applied  to Base Rent shall be
         shared by the Participants which funded the Outstanding Lease Amount or

         Outstanding Participation Amounts so funded by such Participants,  (ii)
         the dates on which such  Participants  so funded such amounts and (iii)
         for Base Rent  accruing at a Fixed Rental Rate,  the  respective  Fixed

         Period,  such Participant  shall, for the purposes of this Subparagraph
         2.06(b),  be deemed to have  provided a Fixed Rate Quote  equal to such
         Fixed Rate.)

                  (c) Supplemental Rent. Lessor shall share each payment applied

                           (ii) Each payment applied to Commitment Fees shall be
                  shared by the  Participants  pro rata  according  to (A) their
                  respective  Proportionate  Shares  and (B) in the case of each
                  Participant  which becomes a Participant  hereunder  after the
                  date hereof,  the date upon which such Participant so became a
                  Participant.

                           (iii) Each payment applied to the 364-Day  Commitment
                  Extension  Fee shall be shared  by the  Participants  pro rata
                  according to their respective Proportionate Shares on the date
                  of such payment.

                           (iv) Each  payment  applied to  reimburse  any Lessor
                  Party for any fees, costs and expenses incurred by such Lessor

                  respective  amounts so owed such  Lessor  Parties  and (B) the
                  dates on  which  such  amounts  became  owing  to such  Lessor
                  Parties.

                                       10


                           (vi) All other  payments under this Agreement and the
                  other  Operative  Documents  shall be for the  benefit  of the
                  Person or Persons specified.

                  (d) Disproportionate  Payments,  Etc. If any Participant shall
         obtain  any  payment  (whether  voluntary,   involuntary,  through  the
         exercise of any right of setoff,  or  otherwise)  on account of amounts
         owed to it in excess of its  ratable  share of  payments  on account of
         such amounts  obtained by all  Participants  entitled to such payments,
         such Participant shall forthwith  purchase from the other  Participants
         such  participations  in the  payments  to be made under the  Operative
         Documents as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Participant to
         share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided,  however,
         that  if all or any  portion  of  such  excess  payment  is  thereafter
         recovered  from such  purchasing  Participant,  such purchase  shall be
         rescinded  and each other  Participant  shall  repay to the  purchasing
         Participant the purchase price to the extent of such recovery  together
         with  an  amount  equal  to  such  other  Participant's  ratable  share
         (according  to  the   proportion  of  (i)  the  amount  of  such  other
         Participant's  required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered
         from the purchasing  Participant)  of any interest or other amount paid
         or payable by the purchasing Participant in respect of the total amount
         so  recovered.  Lessee  agrees that any  Participant  so  purchasing  a
         participation  from another  Participant  pursuant to this Subparagraph
         2.06(d) may, to the fullest extent  permitted by law,  exercise all its
         rights of payment  (including the right of setoff) with respect to such
         participation  as fully as if such Participant were the direct creditor
         of Lessee in the amount of such participation.

         2.07.    Other Payment Terms.

                  (a) Place and Manner of Payments by Lessee.  Lessee shall make
         all payments due to any Lessor Party under this Agreement and the other
         Operative  Documents  by  payments  to Agent,  for the  account of such
         Person,  at  Agent's  office,  located  at  the  address  specified  in
         Paragraph  7.01,  with each payment due to a Participant  to be for the
         account of such Participant's  Applicable  Participating Office. Lessee
         shall make all  payments  in lawful  money of the United  States and in
         same day or immediately  available  funds not later than 11:00 a.m. New
         York  time on the  date  due.  Agent  shall  promptly  disburse  to the
         appropriate Person each such payment received by Agent for such Person.

                  (b) Date. Whenever any payment due under this Agreement or any
         other Operative  Document shall fall due on a day other than a Business
         Day,  such payment shall be made on the next  succeeding  Business Day,
         and such  extension  of time shall be  included in the  computation  of
         Rent,  interest or fees, as the case may be. Whenever this Agreement or
         any other  Operative  Document  requires a payment to be made by Lessee
         but fails to specify a time for such  payment to be made,  such payment
         shall be due and payable ten (10) days after demand for such payment is
         made upon Lessee by the applicable party.

                  (c)  Late  Payments.  If any  amounts  required  to be paid by
         Lessee under this Agreement or any other Operative Document  (including
         Rent, interest, fees or other amounts) remain unpaid after such amounts
         are due,  Lessee  shall  pay  interest  on the

                                       11


         aggregate,  outstanding balance of such amounts from the date due until
         those  amounts  are paid in full at a per annum  rate equal to the Base
         Rate plus two percent (2.0%),  such rate to change from time to time as
         the Base Rate shall change.

                  (d) Application of Payments. All payments under this Agreement
         and the other  Operative  Documents  shall be  applied  first to unpaid
         fees,  costs and expenses then due and payable under this  Agreement or
         any other Operative Document,  second to the accrued Base Rent then due
         and payable under this  Agreement or any other  Operative  Document and
         finally to reduce the Outstanding Lease Amount or any Portion thereof.

                  (e) Failure to Pay Agent.  Unless  Agent  shall have  received
         notice from Lessee at least one (1)  Business  Day prior to the date on
         which  any  payment  is due to Lessor or the  Participants  under  this
         Agreement or the other  Operative  Documents  that Lessee will not make
         such  payment  in full,  Agent may  assume  that  Lessee  has made such
         payment in full to Agent on such date and Agent may, in  reliance  upon
         such assumption,  cause to be distributed to the appropriate Persons on
         such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such  Persons.  If
         and to the extent Lessee shall not have so made such payment in full to
         Agent,  each such Person shall repay to Agent  forthwith on demand such
         amount  distributed to such Person together with interest thereon,  for
         each day from the date such amount is  distributed to such Person until
         the date such Person  repays  such amount to Agent,  at (i) the Federal
         Funds Rate for the first three (3) days and (ii) the Base Rate plus two
         percent (2.0%) thereafter, such rate to change from time to time as the
         Base Rate shall change.  A certificate of Agent submitted to any Person
         with   respect  to  any  amounts   owing  by  such  Person  under  this
         Subparagraph 2.07(e) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

         2.08.    Commitment Reductions.

                  (a) Reduction or Cancellation  of Commitments.  Lessee may, at
         any time prior to the 364-Day  Commitment  Termination Date in the case
         of the 364-Day  Commitment or the  Commitment  Termination  Date in the
         case of the  Thirty-Month  Commitment,  upon  five  (5)  Business  Days
         written notice to Lessor,  permanently reduce the 364-Day Commitment or
         the  Thirty-Month  Commitment  by the  amount  of One  Million  Dollars
         ($1,000,000) or an integral  multiple of One Hundred  Thousand  Dollars
         ($100,000)  in excess  thereof or cancel the 364-Day  Commitment or the
         Thirty-Month  Commitment in its entirety.  Any reduction of the 364-Day
         Commitment   or  the   Thirty-Month   Commitment   shall  result  in  a
         corresponding reduction of the Total Commitment.

                  (b) Effect of Commitment  Reductions.  From the effective date
         of  any  reduction  of  the  364-Day  Commitment  or  the  Thirty-Month
         Commitment,  the Commitment  Fees shall be computed on the basis of the
         364-Day Commitment or the Thirty-Month  Commitment as so reduced.  Once
         reduced  or  cancelled,   the  364-Day  Commitment,   the  Thirty-Month
         Commitment and the Total  Commitment may not be increased or reinstated
         without the prior written consent of Lessor and all  Participants.  Any
         reduction of the 364-Day Commitment, the Thirty-Month Commitment or the
         Total  Commitment  pursuant  to this  Paragraph  2.08  shall be applied
         ratably to reduce each Participant's  Commitment pro rata in accordance
         with its Proportionate Share.

                                       12


         2.09.    Extensions.

                  (a) 364-Day Commitment Extension. Lessee may request Lessor to
         extend the 364-Day Commitment Termination Date for an additional period
         of six (6) months by appropriately completing, executing and delivering
         to Agent a written  request  in the form of  Exhibit  G(1) (a  "364-Day
         Commitment  Extension  Request").  Lessee  shall  deliver  the  364-Day
         Commitment  Extension Request to Agent not more than six (6) months and
         not less than two (2) months  before the  original  364-Day  Commitment
         Termination  Date.  Agent  shall  promptly  deliver  to Lessor and each
         Participant  three (3)  copies  of each  364-Day  Commitment  Extension
         Request received by Agent. If Lessor or a Participant,  in its sole and
         absolute  discretion,  consents  to the  364-Day  Commitment  Extension
         Request,  such Person shall  evidence  such  consent by  executing  and
         returning two (2) copies of the 364-Day Commitment Extension Request to
         Agent not later than the ten (10)  Business  Days after  receipt of the
         364-Day  Commitment  Extension  Request.  Any  failure by Lessor or any
         Participant  so to execute  and return a 364-Day  Commitment  Extension
         Request  shall be deemed a denial  thereof.  If Lessee shall  deliver a
         364-Day  Commitment  Extension  Request to Lessor pursuant to the first
         sentence of this Subparagraph 2.09(a), then not later than fifteen (15)
         Business  Days  after  receipt  of  the  364-Day  Commitment  Extension
         Request,  Agent shall notify  Lessee,  Lessor and the  Participants  in
         writing whether (i) Agent has received a copy of the 364-Day Commitment
         Extension  Request  executed by Lessor and each  Participant,  in which
         case the definition of "364-Day Commitment  Termination Date" set forth
         in  Subparagraph  2.01(a) shall be deemed extended to the date which is
         six (6) months after the original 364-Day  Commitment  Termination Date
         (subject to receipt by Agent of the 364-Day Commitment  Extension Fee),
         or  (ii)  Agent  has not  received  a copy  of the  364-Day  Commitment
         Extension  Request  executed by Lessor and each  Participant,  in which
         case such 364-Day Commitment  Extension Request shall be deemed denied.
         Lessee  acknowledges  that  neither  Lessor  nor  any  Participant  has
         promised  (either  expressly or  implicitly),  or has any obligation or
         commitment,  to extend  or  consent  to the  extension  of the  364-Day
         Commitment Termination Date at any time.

                  (b) Lease  Extension.  Lessee may, on the terms and conditions
         provided herein, request Lessor to extend the Scheduled Expiration Date
         for (i) three  consecutive  and  sequential  one year periods  (each of
         which is  referred  to herein as a "One Year  Extension"),  or (ii) one
         three year period (the "Three  Year  Extension"),  provided  that after
         giving effect to any such  extension,  the remaining  scheduled term of
         the Lease shall not exceed five (5) years.  A request by Lessee for the
         Three  Year  Extension  shall  preclude  any  request  for a  One  Year
         Extension and any request for a One Year  Extension  shall preclude any
         request for the Three Year  Extension.  Each One Year  Extension or the
         Three Year  Extension  shall be  requested  by Lessee by  appropriately
         completing,  executing and delivering to Agent a written request in the
         form of Exhibit G(2), together with an attachment thereto setting forth
         the terms upon which Lessee would propose for the  requested  extension
         (a  "Lease  Extension  Request").   Lessee  shall  deliver  each  Lease
         Extension Request to Agent not less than six (6) months before the then
         current  Scheduled  Expiration  Date.  Agent shall promptly  deliver to
         Lessor and each  Participant  three (3) copies of each Lease  Extension
         Request received by Agent. If Lessor or a Participant,  in its sole and
         absolute discretion, consents to a Lease Extension Request,

                                       13


         such Person shall  evidence such consent by executing and returning two
         (2) copies of such Lease Extension  Request to Agent not later than the
         earlier  of (i) the last  Business  Day which is not less than five (5)
         months prior to the then current Scheduled  Expiration Date or (ii) two
         (2) months after the date Agent receives the Lease  Extension  Request.
         Any  failure by Lessor or any  Participant  so to execute  and return a
         Lease Extension  Request shall be deemed a denial thereof.  Agent shall
         promptly  notify Lessee if any  Participant  has denied such  extension
         request,  and Lessee may seek to obtain an Eligible Assignee to replace
         such  Participant  pursuant to Paragraph  2.15.  Lessee shall deliver a
         Lease  Extension  Request to Lessor  pursuant to the first  sentence of
         this  Subparagraph  2.09(b),  then not later than the last Business Day
         which  is not  less  than  four (4)  months  prior to the then  current
         Scheduled  Expiration Date,  Agent shall notify Lessee,  Lessor and the
         Participants  in writing  whether (i) Agent has  received a copy of the
         Lease  Extension  Request  executed  by  Lessor  and  each  Participant
         (including any Replacement  Participant),  in which case the definition
         of "Scheduled Expiration Date" set forth in Subparagraph 2.02(a) of the
         Lease  Agreement  shall be deemed extended to the date which is one (1)
         year after the then current Scheduled  Expiration Date in the case of a
         One Year Extension, or three (3) years after the then current Scheduled
         Expiration Date in the case of the Three Year Extension (subject to the
         receipt by Agent of any amounts  payable by Lessee in  connection  with
         such  extension),  or (ii)  Agent has not  received a copy of the Lease
         Extension  Request  executed by Lessor and each  Participant,  in which
         case  such  Lease  Extension  Request  shall be deemed  denied.  Lessee
         acknowledges  that  neither  Lessor nor any  Participant  has  promised
         (either expressly or implicitly),  or has any obligation or commitment,
         to extend or consent to the extension of the Scheduled  Expiration Date
         at any  time  and that any  such  extension  shall be  subject  to then
         applicable market, interest and credit conditions.

         2.10. Nature of the Transactions.  Lessee and the Lessor Parties intend
that the  transactions  evidenced  by this  Agreement  and the  other  Operative
Documents  constitute  operating  leases  pursuant  to  FASB  13 for  accounting
purposes and loans  secured by the Property for federal,  state and local income
tax purposes and bankruptcy law purposes.  To the extent that this Agreement and
the other  Operative  Documents  reflect  the lease form  alone,  they do so for
convenience  only.  Lessee  and the Lessor  Parties  intend  that the  Operative
Documents  have  the  dual  form  referred  to in the  first  sentence  of  this
paragraph, notwithstanding the use of the lease form alone.

                  (a) Tax Treatment.  For purposes of all income,  franchise and
         other  taxes  imposed  upon or  measured  by income,  Lessee and Lessor
         Parties  intend  that  the  transactions  evidenced  by  the  Operative
         Documents  shall  be  treated  as loans  by the  Participants  (through
         Lessor) to Lessee secured by the Property,  with Lessee as owner of the
         Property.  Lessee  and the  Lessor  Parties  may only take  deductions,
         credits,  allowances and other reporting  positions on their respective
         returns,   reports  and  statements  which  are  consistent  with  such
         treatment,  unless  required to do otherwise by an  appropriate  taxing
         authority  or  after  a  clearly   applicable   change  in   applicable
         Governmental Rules;  provided,  however,  that if an appropriate taxing
         authority or a clearly  applicable  change in  applicable  Governmental
         Rules requires any Lessor Party to take such an inconsistent  position,
         such Lessor Party shall promptly notify Lessee.

                                       14



                  (b) Other Legal  Treatment.  For purposes of  bankruptcy  law,
         Lessee and Lessor Parties also intend that the  transactions  evidenced
         by  the  Operative   Documents   shall  be  treated  as  loans  by  the
         Participants  (through Lessor) to Lessee secured by the Property,  with
         Lessee as owner of the Property. Consistent with such treatment, Lessee
         and the  Lessor  Parties  intend  that,  among  other  things  for such
         purposes,  (i) the  Advances  be  treated  as  loans to  Lessee  by the
         Participants  (through  Lessor);  (ii) the  Advances  be secured by the
         Property and the Lessor Parties have the rights and remedies of secured
         lenders;  (iii) Base Rent be treated as interest on the Advances;  (iv)
         Lessee be  required  to pay on the  Expiration  Date only the  Residual
         Value  Guaranty  Amount,  the  Indemnity  Amount and the other  amounts
         required  by  Subparagraph   4.06(b)  of  the  Purchase  Agreement  (or
         Subparagraph  4.06(c) if Lessor is  retaining  the  Property) if Lessee
         exercises  the  Marketing   Option  in  accordance  with  the  Purchase
         Agreement; and (v) Lessee be required to pay on the Expiration Date the
         Outstanding  Lease Amount or any Portion  thereof and all other amounts
         outstanding  under this  Agreement  and the other  Operative  Documents
         (including  amounts  required by  Subparagraph  4.06(a) of the Purchase
         Agreement) if the Lease Agreement is terminated  prior to its Scheduled
         Expiration  Date  after an Event of  Default  occurs  under  the  Lease
         Agreement  or if  Lessee  fails  to or is  otherwise  not  entitled  to
         exercise  the  Marketing   Option  in  accordance   with  the  Purchase
         Agreement.

                  (c) No Reliance by Lessee. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that
         no Lessor Party has made any  representations  or  warranties to Lessee
         concerning  the  tax,  accounting  or  legal   characteristics  of  the
         Operative  Documents  and that Lessee has obtained and relied upon such
         tax,  accounting and legal advice concerning the Operative Documents as
         it deems appropriate.

                           (d) Modification of Operative  Documents.  Lessee and
         the Lessor  Parties shall amend or modify this  Agreement and the other
         Operative  Documents  to  the  extent  necessary  for  the  transaction
         evidenced  by this  Agreement  and the  other  Operative  Documents  to
         qualify  as an  operating  lease  pursuant  to FASB  13 for  accounting
         purposes  if, and only if, such  amendments  and  modifications  do not
         adversely  affect  either  Lessee or any  Lessor  Party in its sole and
         absolute discretion .

                  2.11.    Security.

                  (a)      Lessee Obligations.

                           (i) To the extent that the  transaction  evidenced by
                  the Lease  Agreement,  Purchase  Agreement and other Operative
                  Documents  is treated as a loan by the  Participants  (through
                  Lessor) to Lessee  secured  by the  Property,  with  Lessee as
                  owner of the Property  pursuant to Paragraph  2.10, the Lessee
                  Obligations  shall be secured by the Real Property  Collateral
                  and  the  Personal  Property  Collateral  (collectively,   the
                  "Property  Collateral") as provided in  Subparagraphs  2.07(a)
                  and 2.07(b) of the Lease  Agreement  and in an  Assignment  of
                  Construction  Agreements  in  the  form  of  Exhibit  H,  duly
                  executed   by  Lessee   (the   "Assignment   of   Construction
                  Agreements").

                                       15


                           (ii) In  addition  to the  Property  Collateral,  the
                  Lessee Obligations may be secured, at Lessee's election,  by a
                  Cash  Collateral  Agreement  in the form of  Exhibit  I,  duly
                  executed by Lessee (the "Cash Collateral Agreement"), and Cash
                  Collateral delivered to Agent or Participants  pursuant to the
                  Cash  Collateral  Agreement.  If Lessee  elects to deliver any
                  Cash Collateral  pursuant to the Cash Collateral  Agreement to
                  decrease  the  Applicable  Margin for the LIBOR Rental Rate or
                  the Fixed Rental Rate, Lessee shall deliver to Agent, five (5)
                  Business Days' prior to the delivery of such Cash  Collateral,
                  notice of such  election and an opinion of its counsel in form
                  and substance reasonably  satisfactory to Lessor regarding the
                  Cash  Collateral  Agreement and such Cash Collateral and shall
                  deliver such Cash  Collateral only on a Scheduled Rent Payment
                  Date. Lessee shall have the option to pledge and withdraw Cash
                  Collateral  on any  Scheduled  Rent  Payment  Date;  provided,
                  however,  that in order to  withdraw  Cash  Collateral  Lessee
                  shall certify that no Default or Event of Default has occurred
                  and is  continuing  and that all other  conditions of the Cash
                  Collateral  Agreement have been complied with. Cash Collateral
                  shall  consist  of  eurodollar   deposits  or  U.S.   treasury
                  securities  with a maturity of less than two (2) years. In the
                  event that U.S. treasury securities are pledged,  Lessee shall
                  be  entitled  to a credit  for  purposes  of  determining  any
                  decrease  in the  Applicable  Margin,  in the amount of ninety
                  five percent  (95%) of the market  value of the U.S.  treasury
                  securities  pledged  on the day such  pledge  is made.  Lessee
                  shall bear all breakage or other related costs associated with
                  the Cash Collateral or any withdrawal thereof.

                  In the event that Cash  Collateral is withdrawn  from the Cash
                  Collateral  Agreement after having been deposited  thereunder,
                  at the time of such  withdrawal,  Lessee shall pay to Lessor a
                  withdrawal fee equal to the Applicable Withdrawal  Percentage,
                  as  defined  below,  multiplied  by the  amount  of  the  Cash
                  Collateral  withdrawn multiplied by a fraction the denominator
                  of which shall be 360 and the  numerator of which shall be the
                  number of days  (but not more  that 180  days)  that such Cash
                  Collateral had been on deposit pursuant to the Cash Collateral
                  Agreement.  "Applicable  Withdrawal Percentage" means 0.5%, in
                  the case Level 1 pricing (as set forth in the Pricing Grid) is
                  in effect of the date of  withdrawal,  and 0.75%,  in the case
                  Level 2  pricing  (as set  forth  in the  Pricing  Grid) is in
                  effect  of the date of  withdrawal.  In the  event  that  Cash
                  Collateral is deposited under the Cash Collateral Agreement in
                  different tranches, for purposes of computing the fee provided
                  for in the previous  sentence,  sums  withdrawn  from the Cash
                  Collateral Agreement shall be deemed to have been withdrawn on
                  a first in first out basis.

                  Lessor,  Agent and the Participants shall have a full right of
                  offset against the Cash  Collateral at all times in the amount
                  of  the  Tranche  A  Participation   Amount,   the  Tranche  B
                  Participation  Amount and the Tranche C Participation  Amount;
                  provided  that there  shall be no right or offset  against the
                  Cash Collateral for the Tranche B Participation Amount and the
                  Tranche  C  Participation  Amount  if the  Lessee  elects  and
                  completes the Marketing Option.

                                       16


                           (iii) Lessee  shall  deliver to Lessor and Agent such
                  additional  mortgages,  deeds of trust,  security  agreements,
                  pledge agreements,  lessor consents and estoppels  (containing
                  appropriate  mortgagee  and lender  protection  language)  and
                  other  instruments,  agreements,  certificates,  opinions  and
                  documents   (including   Uniform   Commercial  Code  financing
                  statements and fixture filings and landlord waivers) as Lessor
                  or  Agent  may  reasonably  request  to  (A)  grant,  perfect,
                  maintain,  protect and evidence security interests in favor of
                  Lessor or Agent in the Property Collateral and Cash Collateral
                  prior to the Liens or other interests of any Person, except in
                  the case of the Property  Collateral  for  Permitted  Property
                  Liens;  and (B)  otherwise  establish,  maintain,  protect and
                  evidence  the  rights  provided  to  Lessor  and  Agent in the
                  Property  Collateral and Cash  Collateral.  Lessee shall fully
                  cooperate  with Lessor and Agent and  perform  all  additional
                  acts  reasonably  requested  by Lessor or Agent to effect  the
                  purposes of this Subparagraph 2.11(a).

                  (b)      Lessor Obligations.
                           
                           (i) The  Lessor  Obligations  shall be secured by the
                  following:

                                    (A) An  Assignment  of Lease  Agreement  and
                           Purchase  Agreement  in the form of  Exhibit  J, duly
                           executed by Lessor (the "Assignment of Lease");

                                    (B)  A  Construction   Deed  of  Trust  with
                           Assignment of Rents,  Security  Agreement and Fixture
                           Filing in the form of  Exhibit  K, duly  executed  by
                           Lessor (the "Lessor Deed of Trust"); and

                                    (C) A  Security  Agreement  in the  form  of
                           Exhibit  L,  duly  executed  by Lessor  (the  "Lessor
                           Security Agreement").

                           (ii) Lessor  shall  deliver to Agent such  additional
                  mortgages,   deeds  of  trust,  security  agreements,   pledge
                  agreements,   lessor   consents  and   estoppels   (containing
                  appropriate  mortgagee  and lender  protection  language)  and
                  other  instruments,  agreements,  certificates,  opinions  and
                  documents   (including   Uniform   Commercial  Code  financing
                  statements and fixture filings and landlord  waivers) as Agent
                  may  reasonably  request  to  (A)  grant,  perfect,  maintain,
                  protect and evidence  security  interests in favor of Agent in
                  Lessor's   rights  in  the   Property   Collateral   and  Cash
                  Collateral; and (B) otherwise establish, maintain, protect and
                  evidence  the  rights   provided  to  Agent  in  the  Property
                  Collateral and Cash  Collateral.  Lessor shall fully cooperate
                  with  Agent  and  perform  all  additional   acts   reasonably
                  requested by Agent to effect the purposes of this Subparagraph
                  2.11(b).

                           (iii) Lessee  hereby  consents to the  Assignment  of
                  Lease,  the  Lessor  Deed of  Trust  and the  Lessor  Security
                  Agreement;  the Liens granted to Agent therein;  and all other
                  Liens granted to Agent in any of the  Operative  Documents and

                                       17


         2.12.    Change of Circumstances.

                  (a) Inability to Determine  Rates.  If, on or before the first
         day of any Rental  Period for any Portion,  (i) any  Participant  shall
         advise  Agent that the LIBOR  Rental  Rate for such  Rental  Period and
         Portion  cannot be  adequately  and  reasonably  determined  due to the
         unavailability of funds in or other circumstances  affecting the London
         interbank  market,  (ii) any  Participant  shall  advise Agent that the
         LIBOR  Rental  Rate  for  such  Rental  Period  and  Portion  does  not
         adequately and fairly  reflect the cost to such  Participant of funding
         its share of such  Portion  or (iii) if Lessee  has  requested  a Fixed
         Rental Rate for such Rental Period and Portion,  any Participant  shall
         advise  Agent that such  Participant  is unable to provide a Fixed Rate
         Quote  due to the  unavailability  of funds  in or other  circumstances
         affecting the domestic  interbank market,  Agent shall immediately give
         notice of such condition to Lessee,  Lessor and the other Participants.
         After the giving of any such notice  (and until  Agent shall  otherwise
         notify  Lessee and Lessor  that the  circumstances  giving rise to such
         condition no longer exist), the LIBOR Rental Rate or Fixed Rental Rate,
         as the case may be, shall be  unavailable  and the Rental Rate for each
         Rental Period shall be one of the other rental rates then available.

                  (b)  Illegality.  If,  after the date of this  Agreement,  the
         adoption of any Governmental  Rule, any change in any Governmental Rule
         or the application or requirements  thereof (whether such change occurs
         in accordance with the terms of such Governmental Rule as enacted, as a
         result of amendment or otherwise),  any change in the interpretation or
         administration of any Governmental Rule by any Governmental  Authority,
         or  compliance  by  Lessor  or any  Participant  with  any  request  or
         directive  (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental
         Authority (a "Change of Law") shall make it unlawful or impossible  for
         any  Participant  to fund or maintain  its  portion of the  Outstanding
         Lease Amount or any Portion thereof at the LIBOR Rental Rate or a Fixed
         Rental Rate, such Participant shall immediately  notify Agent and Agent
         shall immediately  notify Lessee,  Lessor and the other Participants of
         such  Change of Law.  After the  giving of any such  notice  (and until
         Agent shall otherwise  notify Lessee and Lessor that such Change of Law
         is no longer in effect), the LIBOR Rental Rate or Fixed Rental Rate, as
         the case may be,  shall be  unavailable  and the  Rental  Rate for each
         Rental Period shall be one of the other rental rates then available.

                  (c) Increased Costs. If, after the date of this Agreement, any
         Change of Law:

                           (i) Shall subject  Lessor or any  Participant  to any
                  tax,  duty or other  charge  with  respect to the  Outstanding
                  Lease Amount or any Portion  thereof  thereof shall change the
                  basis of taxation of Base Rent payments by Lessee to Lessor or
                  any  Participant  under this Agreement or any other  Operative
                  Document  (except  for  changes in the rate of taxation on the
                  overall net income of Lessor or any Participant imposed by its
                  jurisdiction of  incorporation or any jurisdiction in which it
                  maintains an office); or

                           (ii)  Shall  impose,  modify or hold  applicable  any
                  reserve (excluding any Reserve Requirement or other reserve to
                  the extent  included in the  calculation  of the LIBOR  Rental
                  Rate),  special deposit or similar  requirement against assets

                                       18


                  held by,  deposits or other  liabilities in or for the account
                  of, advances or loans by, or any other acquisition of funds by
                  Lessor or any  Participant  for its portion of the Outstanding
                  Lease Amount or any Portion thereof; or

                           (iii) Shall impose on Lessor or any  Participant  any
                  other condition related to the Outstanding Lease Amount or any
                  Portion thereof,  Base Rent or Lessor's or such  Participant's
                  commitments hereunder;

         And the  effect  of any of the  foregoing  is to  increase  the cost to
         Lessor or such Participant of funding or maintaining its portion of the
         Outstanding  Lease Amount or any Portion  thereof or  commitments or to
         reduce any amount  receivable by Lessor or such Participant  hereunder;
         then  Lessee  shall  from time to time  within  thirty  (30) days after
         demand by Lessor or such Participant, pay to Lessor or such Participant
         additional  amounts  sufficient to reimburse Lessor or such Participant
         for such increased  costs or to compensate  Lessor or such  Participant
         for such reduced amounts; provided,  however, that Lessee shall have no
         obligation  to make any  payment  to any  demanding  party  under  this
         Subparagraph  2.12(c) on account of any such increased costs or reduced
         amounts  relating  to any  Rental  Period  that ended more than six (6)
         months prior to such demanding party's first demand for payment (or, if
         any  increased  costs or reduced  amounts do not relate to a particular
         Rental  Period,  on  account  of any such  increased  costs or  reduced
         amounts  realized by the demanding party more than six (6) months prior
         to its first  demand  for  payment).  A  certificate  setting  forth in
         reasonable  detail  the  amount  of such  increased  costs  or  reduced
         amounts,  submitted  by Lessor  or such  Participant  to  Lessee  shall
         constitute  prima  facie  evidence  of  such  costs  or  amounts.   The
         obligations of Lessee under this Subparagraph 2.12(c) shall survive the
         payment and  performance of the Lessee  Obligations and the termination
         of this Agreement.

                  (d)  Capital   Requirements.   If,  after  the  date  of  this
         Agreement,  Lessor or any Participant determines that (i) any Change of
         Law affects the amount of capital  required  to be  maintained  by such
         Person or any other Person controlling such Person (a "Capital Adequacy
         Requirement") and (ii) the amount of capital  maintained by such Person
         or such  other  Person  which  is  attributable  to or  based  upon the
         Advances,  the  commitments  or this  Agreement  must be increased as a
         result of such Capital Adequacy  Requirement  (taking into account such
         Person's  or such  other  Person's  policies  with  respect  to capital
         adequacy), Lessee shall pay to such Person or such other Person, within
         thirty (30) Business Days after demand of such Person,  such amounts as
         such  Person  or such  other  Person  reasonably  shall  determine  are
         necessary  to  compensate  such  Person or such  other  Person  for the
         increased  costs to such Person or such other Person of such  increased
         capital;  provided,  however,  that Lessee shall have no  obligation to
         make any payment to any demanding party under this Subparagraph 2.12(d)
         on account of any such  increased  costs  relating to any Rental Period
         that  ended more than six (6) months  prior to such  demanding  party's
         first demand for payment (or, if any increased costs or reduced amounts
         do not relate to a  particular  Rental  Period,  on account of any such
         increased costs or reduced amounts realized by the demanding party more
         than  six  (6)  months  prior  to its  first  demand  for  payment).  A
         certificate  of Lessor or any  Participant  setting forth in reasonable
         detail the computation of any such increased  costs,  delivered by such
         Person to Lessee shall  constitute  prima facie evidence of such costs.
         The obligations of Lessee

                                       19


         under  this   Subparagraph   2.12(d)  shall  survive  the  payment  and
         performance  of the  Lessee  Obligations  and the  termination  of this
         Agreement.

                  (e) Mitigation.  If Lessor or any Participant becomes aware of
         (i) any Change of Law which will make it  unlawful  or  impossible  for
         such Person to fund or maintain  its portion of the  Outstanding  Lease
         Amount or any  Portion  thereof  at the LIBOR  Rental  Rate or (ii) any
         Change of Law or other event or condition which will obligate Lessee to
         pay  any  amount  pursuant  to  Subparagraph  2.12(c)  or  Subparagraph
         2.12(d),  such Person shall notify Lessee and Agent thereof as promptly
         as practical.  If any Person has given notice of any such Change of Law
         or other event or  condition  and  thereafter  becomes  aware that such
         Change of Law or other  event or  condition  has ceased to exist,  such
         Person shall notify  Lessee and Agent thereof as promptly as practical.
         Each  Person  affected  by any Change of Law which makes it unlawful or
         impossible  for such  Person to fund or  maintain  its  portion  of the
         Outstanding  Lease  Amount or any Portion  thereof at the LIBOR  Rental
         Rate or to which  Lessee is  obligated  to pay any amount  pursuant  to
         Subparagraph  2.12(c)  or  Subparagraph  2.12(d)  shall use  reasonable
         commercial  efforts   (including   changing  the  jurisdiction  of  its
         Applicable  Participating Office) to avoid the effect of such Change of
         Law or to avoid or  materially  reduce  any  amounts  which  Lessee  is
         obligated  to pay  pursuant  to  Subparagraph  2.12(c) or  Subparagraph
         2.12(d) if, in the  reasonable  opinion of such  Person,  such  efforts
         would not be disadvantageous to such Person.

         2.13.    Taxes on Payments.

                  (a) Payments Free of Taxes.  All payments made by Lessee under
         this Agreement and the other Operative Documents shall be made free and
         clear of, and without  deduction or  withholding  for or on account of,
         any present or future  Indemnified  Taxes,  now or  hereafter  imposed,
         levied, collected,  withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority.
         If any  Indemnified  Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts
         payable  to any Lessor  Party  hereunder  or under the other  Operative
         Documents,  the  amounts  so  payable  to such  Lessor  Party  shall be
         increased to the extent  necessary to yield to such Lessor Party (after
         payment  of all  Indemnified  Taxes)  the Base  Rent or any such  other
         amounts payable  hereunder at the rates or in the amounts  specified in
         this  Agreement  and  the  other  Operative  Documents.   Whenever  any
         Indemnified  Taxes are  payable  by Lessee,  as  promptly  as  possible
         thereafter,  Lessee  shall send to Agent for its own account or for the
         account of Lessor or such Participant,  as the case may be, a certified
         copy of an original official receipt received by Lessee showing payment
         thereof.  If Lessee fails to pay any Indemnified  Taxes when due to the
         appropriate  taxing  authority  or fails to remit to Agent the required
         receipts or other required documentary evidence, Lessee shall indemnify
         the Lessor  Parties for any  incremental  taxes,  interest or penalties
         that may become  payable by the Lessor  Parties as a result of any such
         failure.  The  obligations  of Lessee under this  Subparagraph  2.13(a)
         shall survive the payment and performance of the Lessee Obligations and
         the termination of this Agreement.

                  (b)  Withholding  Exemption  Certificates.  On or prior to the
         Closing  Date or, if such date does not occur  within  thirty (30) days
         after the date of this  Agreement,  by the end of such  30-day  period,
         Lessor,  if it is not incorporated  under the laws of the United

                                       20


         States of America or a state thereof, and each Participant which is not
         incorporated  under the laws of the United States of America or a state
         thereof shall deliver to Lessee and Agent two duly completed  copies of
         United States Internal  Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224 (or successor
         applicable  form),  as the case may be,  certifying  in each  case that
         Lessor or such Participant,  as the case may be, is entitled to receive
         payments under this Agreement and the other Operative Documents without
         deduction or  withholding  of any United States  federal  income taxes.
         Each  Person  which  delivers  to Lessee  and Agent a Form 1001 or 4224
         pursuant to the immediately  preceding  sentence further  undertakes to
         deliver to Lessee and Agent two further copies of Form 1001 or 4224 (or
         successor  applicable  forms),  or other  manner  of  certification  or
         procedure, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form
         expires  or  becomes  obsolete  or after  the  occurrence  of any event
         requiring a change in the most recent form  previously  delivered by it
         to Lessee and Agent,  and such  extensions  or renewals  thereof as may
         reasonably be requested by Lessee or Agent, certifying in the case of a
         Form 1001 or 4224 that such  Person is  entitled  to  receive  payments
         under  this  Agreement  and  the  other  Operative   Documents  without
         deduction or  withholding  of any United States  federal  income taxes,
         unless in any such cases an event  (including  without  limitation  any
         change in treaty,  law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on
         which any such delivery  would  otherwise be required which renders all
         such forms  inapplicable or which would prevent Lessor or a Participant
         from duly  completing  and  delivering any such form with respect to it
         and Lessor or such Participant  advises Lessee and Agent that it is not
         capable of receiving  payments  without any deduction or withholding of
         United States federal income tax.

                  (c)  Mitigation.  If any Lessor  Party  claims any  additional
         amounts to be payable  to it  pursuant  to this  Paragraph  2.13,  such
         Lessor  Party  shall  use  reasonable  commercial  efforts  to file any
         certificate  or  document  requested  in writing  by Lessee  (including
         copies of  Internal  Revenue  Service  Form 1001 (or  successor  forms)
         reflecting a reduced rate of withholding) or to change the jurisdiction
         of its Applicable  Participating  Office if the making of such a filing
         or such  change in the  jurisdiction  of its  Applicable  Participating
         Office would avoid the need for or materially  reduce the amount of any
         such  additional  amounts  which may  thereafter  accrue and if, in the
         reasonable  opinion  of a  Participant,  in the case of a change in the
         jurisdiction of its Applicable  Participating Office, such change would
         not be disadvantageous to such Person.

                  (d) Tax  Returns.  Nothing  contained in this  Paragraph  2.13
         shall require any Lessor Party to make available any of its tax returns
         (or any other  information  relating  to its taxes which it deems to be
         confidential).

         2.14. Funding Loss Indemnification.  If Lessee shall (a) pay all or any
portion of the Outstanding  Lease Amount or any Portion thereof on any day other
than the last day of a Rental Period therefor  (whether an optional  payment,  a
mandatory  payment or otherwise)  or (b) cancel or otherwise  fail to consummate
any Advance  Request which has been  delivered to Agent  (whether as a result of
the failure to satisfy any applicable  conditions or  otherwise),  Lessee shall,
upon  demand by Lessor or any  Participant,  reimburse  such Person for and hold
such  Person  harmless  from all costs and losses  incurred  by such Person as a
result of such payment,  cancellation or failure.  Lessee  understands that such
costs and losses may include, without limitation, losses incurred by Lessor or a
Participant  as a result of funding  and other  contracts

                                       21


entered into by such Person to fund its portion of the Outstanding  Lease Amount
or any Portion thereof.  Each Person demanding payment under this Paragraph 2.14
shall deliver to Lessee,  with a copy to Agent, a certificate  setting forth the
amount of costs and losses for which demand is made, which certificate shall set
forth in  reasonable  detail  the  calculation  of the amount  demanded.  Such a
certificate so delivered to Lessee shall constitute prima facie evidence of such
costs and losses.  The  obligations  of Lessee under this  Paragraph  2.14 shall
survive  the  payment  and  performance  of  the  Lessee   Obligations  and  the
termination of this Agreement.

         2.15. Replacement of Participants.  If any Participant shall (a) become
a  Defaulting   Participant  more  than  once,  (b)  continue  as  a  Defaulting
Participant  for more than five (5)  Business  Days at any  time,  (c)  deliver,
pursuant  to  Subparagraph  2.12(b),  a notice of a Change of Law which does not
affect Majority Participants, (d) demand any payment under Subparagraph 2.12(c),
2.12(d)  or  2.13(a)  for  a  reason  which  is  not   applicable   to  Majority
Participants,   or  (e)  deny  a  Lease  Extension   Request  made  pursuant  to
Subparagraph  2.09(b),  then Agent may (or upon the written request of Lessee if
no  Event of  Default  has  occurred  and is  continuing,  shall)  replace  such
Participant (the "affected Participant"),  or cause such affected Participant to
be replaced, with another financial institution (the "replacement  Participant")
satisfying the requirements of an Eligible Assignee under Subparagraph  7.05(b),
by having  the  affected  Participant  sell and  assign  all of its  rights  and
obligations  under  this  Agreement  and the other  Operative  Documents  to the
replacement  Participant pursuant to Subparagraph  7.05(b);  provided,  however,
that if Lessee  seeks to exercise  such right,  it must do so within  sixty (60)
days after it first  receives  notice of the event,  condition or demand  giving
rise to such right,  or within  thirty (30) days after such notice in the case a
denial  of a Lease  Extension  Request,  and no  Lessor  Party  shall  have  any
obligation  to identify or locate a  replacement  Participant  for Lessee.  Upon
receipt by any affected  Participant of a written notice from Agent stating that
Agent is exercising the replacement right set forth in this Paragraph 2.15, such
affected  Participant  shall sell and  assign all of its rights and  obligations
under  this  Agreement  and the other  Operative  Documents  to the  replacement
Participant  pursuant to an Assignment  Agreement and Subparagraph 7.05(b) for a
purchase price equal to the sum of its portion of the  Outstanding  Lease Amount
or any Portion thereof, the accrued and unpaid portion of the Base Rent relating
to such portion and its ratable share of all fees to which it is entitled.


SECTION 3.        CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.

         3.01. Initial Acquisition Advance. The obligation of Lessor to make the
Initial  Acquisition  Advance (and the  obligations of the  Participants to fund

of each item listed in Schedule 3.02, each in form and

                                       22

sufficient copies for, Lessor, Agent and each Participant.

         3.03.  Improvement/Expense  Advances.  The obligation of Lessor to make

appropriately  completed and duly executed by Lessee, and (iii) receipt by Agent

Credit  Event is to occur and after  giving  effect to such  Credit  Event,  the
following shall be true and correct:

                  (a) The  representations and warranties of Lessee set forth in
         Paragraph  4.01  and in the  other  Operative  Documents  are  true and
         correct in all  material  respects as if made on such date  (except for
         representations  and warranties  expressly made as of a specified date,
         which shall be true as of such date);

                  (b) No Default has occurred and is  continuing  or will result
         from such Credit Event; and

                  (c)  All of the  Operative  Documents  are in full  force  and
         effect.

The  submission  by Lessee to Lessor  and Agent of each  Advance  Request,  each

         3.05.  Covenant to Deliver.  Lessee agrees (not as a condition but as a
covenant)  to deliver to Lessor and Agent each item  required to be delivered to
Lessor and Agent as a condition to each Advance if such Advance is made.  Lessee
expressly  agrees that the making of any Advance  prior to the receipt by Lessor
and Agent of any such item shall not constitute a waiver by Lessor, Agent or any
Participant of Lessee's obligation to deliver such item, unless expressly waived
in writing.


SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

         4.01. Lessee's  Representations and Warranties.  In order to induce the
Lessor Parties to enter into this Agreement and the other Operative Documents to
which they are  parties,  Lessee  hereby  represents  and warrants to the Lessor
Parties as follows:

                  (a) Due Incorporation,  Qualification, etc. Each of Lessee and
         Lessee's  Subsidiaries  (i) is a corporation  duly  organized,  validly
         existing  and  in  good  standing  under  the  laws  of  its  state  of
         incorporation;  (ii) has the  power  and  authority  to own,  lease

                                       23


         and operate its  properties and carry on its business as now conducted;
         and  (iii)  is duly  qualified,  licensed  to do  business  and in good
         standing  as a  foreign  corporation  in each  jurisdiction  where  the
         failure to be so qualified or licensed is  reasonably  likely to have a
         Material Adverse Effect.

                  (b)  Authority.  The  execution,  delivery and  performance by
         Lessee of each  Operative  Document  executed,  or to be  executed,  by
         Lessee and the  consummation of the transactions  contemplated  thereby
         (i) are within  the power of Lessee and (ii) have been duly  authorized
         by all necessary actions on the part of Lessee.

                  (c) Enforceability. Each Operative Document executed, or to be
         executed,  by Lessee has been,  or will be, duly executed and delivered
         by Lessee  and  constitutes,  or will  constitute,  a legal,  valid and
         binding obligation of Lessee,  enforceable against Lessee in accordance
         with its terms,  except as limited by  bankruptcy,  insolvency or other
         laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of
         creditors' rights generally and general principles of equity.

                  (d) Non-Contravention. The execution and delivery by Lessee of
         the  Operative  Documents  executed by Lessee and the  performance  and
         consummation  of the  transactions  contemplated  thereby  do  not  (i)
         violate any  Requirement of Law applicable to Lessee;  (ii) violate any
         provision  of,  or  result in the  breach  or the  acceleration  of, or
         entitle any other  Person to  accelerate  (whether  after the giving of
         notice or lapse of time or both), any Contractual Obligation of Lessee;
         or (iii)  result  in the  creation  or  imposition  of any Lien (or the
         obligation  to create or impose any Lien) upon any  property,  asset or
         revenue of Lessee  (except such Liens as may be created in favor of the
         Lessor  Parties  pursuant  to this  Agreement  or the  other  Operative
         Documents).

                  (e) Approvals.  No consent,  approval,  order or authorization
         of, or  registration,  declaration  or filing  with,  any  Governmental
         Authority  or  other  Person  (including,   without   limitation,   the
         shareholders  of  any  Person)  is  required  in  connection  with  the
         execution  and delivery of the Operative  Documents  executed by Lessee
         and the  performance  and  consummation  by Lessee of the  transactions
         contemplated thereby, except such as have been made or obtained and are
         in full force and effect.

                  (f) No  Violation  or Default.  Neither  Lessee nor any of its
         Subsidiaries  is in  violation of or in default with respect to (i) any
         Requirement  of Law  applicable  to such Person;  (ii) any  Contractual
         Obligation of such Person (nor is there any waiver in effect which,  if
         not in effect, would result in such a violation or default),  where, in
         each case,  such  violation or default is  reasonably  likely to have a
         Material  Adverse  Effect.  Without  limiting  the  generality  of  the
         foregoing,  except as disclosed in the reports and documents  described
         on Schedule 4.01(f) (the "Environmental  Reports"),  neither Lessee nor
         any of its  Subsidiaries (A) has violated any  Environmental  Laws, (B)
         has any  liability  under any  Environmental  Laws or (C) has  received
         notice  or  other   communication  of  an  investigation  or  is  under
         investigation by any Governmental Authority having authority to enforce
         Environmental Laws, where such violation, liability or investigation is
         reasonably  likely to have a Material  Adverse  Effect.  No Default has
         occurred and is continuing.

                                       24


                  (g)  Litigation.  Except as set forth (with  estimates  of the
         dollar amounts  involved) in Schedule 4.01(g),  no actions  (including,
         without  limitation,   derivative  actions),   suits,   proceedings  or
         investigations  are pending or, to the knowledge of Lessee,  threatened
         against  Lessee or any of its  Subsidiaries  at law or in equity in any
         court  or  before  any  other  Governmental   Authority  which  (i)  is
         reasonably  likely  (alone  or in the  aggregate)  to  have a  Material
         Adverse Effect or (ii) seeks to enjoin,  either directly or indirectly,
         the  execution,  delivery  or  performance  by Lessee of the  Operative
         Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

                  (h)   Title;   Possession   Under   Leases.   Lessee  and  its
         Subsidiaries  own  and  have  good  and  marketable  title,  or a valid
         leasehold  interest in, all their  respective  properties and assets as
         reflected in the most recent  Financial  Statements  delivered to Agent
         (except those assets and properties  disposed of in the ordinary course
         of business or otherwise in compliance  with this  Agreement  since the
         date of  such  Financial  Statements)  and all  respective  assets  and
         properties  acquired  by Lessee  and its  Subsidiaries  since such date
         (except  those  disposed  of in the  ordinary  course  of  business  or
         otherwise  in  compliance  with  this   Agreement).   Such  assets  and
         properties are subject to no Lien,  except for Permitted Liens. Each of
         Lessee and its Subsidiaries has complied with all material  obligations
         under all  material  leases to which it is a party and all such  leases
         are in full  force  and  effect.  Each of Lessee  and its  Subsidiaries
         enjoys peaceful and undisturbed possession under such leases.

                  (i) Financial  Statements.  The Financial Statements of Lessee
         and its  Subsidiaries  which have been  delivered to Agent,  (i) are in
         accordance  with the books and records of Lessee and its  Subsidiaries,
         which have been maintained in accordance  with good business  practice;
         (ii) have been  prepared  in  conformity  with GAAP;  and (iii)  fairly
         present the  financial  conditions  and results of operations of Lessee
         and its  Subsidiaries as of the date thereof and for the period covered
         thereby.  Neither Lessee nor any of its Subsidiaries has any contingent
         obligations, liability for taxes or other outstanding obligations which
         are  material  in the  aggregate,  except as  disclosed  in the audited
         Financial  Statements dated September 30, 1997,  furnished by Lessee to
         Agent  prior  to  the  date  hereof,  or in  the  Financial  Statements
         delivered to Agent pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of Subparagraph 5.01.

                  (j) Equity  Securities.  All outstanding  Equity Securities of
         Lessee   are  duly   authorized,   validly   issued,   fully  paid  and
         non-assessable.  All Equity  Securities of Lessee have been offered and
         sold in compliance  with all federal and state  securities laws and all
         other Requirements of Law.

                  (k) No  Agreements  to Sell Assets;  Etc.  Except as otherwise
         permitted by  Subparagraph  5.02(c) or  Subparagraph  5.02(d),  neither
         Lessee nor any of its Subsidiaries has any legal  obligation,  absolute
         or contingent, to any Person to sell the assets of Lessee or any of its
         Subsidiaries (other than sales in the ordinary course of business),  or
         to effect any merger,  consolidation or other  reorganization of Lessee
         or any of its  Subsidiaries or to enter into any agreement with respect
         thereto.

                                       25



                  (l)      Employee Benefit Plans.

                           (i) Based upon the latest  valuation of each Employee
                  Benefit  Plan  that  either  Lessee  or  any  ERISA  Affiliate
                  maintains  or  contributes  to,  or has any  obligation  under
                  (which  occurred  within  twelve  months  of the  date of this
                  representation),  the current  liabilities of such plan within
                  the  meaning  of  ss.302(d)(7)  of ERISA  did not  exceed  the
                  aggregate value of the assets of such plan. Neither Lessee nor
                  any ERISA  Affiliate  has any  liability  with  respect to any
                  post-retirement  benefit under any Employee Benefit Plan which
                  is a welfare plan (as defined in section 3(1) of ERISA), other
                  than liability for health plan continuation coverage described
                  in Part 6 of Title I(B) of ERISA,  which  liability for health
                  plan contribution  coverage is not reasonably likely to have a
                  Material Adverse Effect.

                           (ii) Each  Employee  Benefit Plan  complies,  in both
                  form and operation,  in all material respects, with its terms,
                  ERISA  and the IRC,  and no  condition  exists  or  event  has
                  occurred  with  respect to any such plan which would result in
                  the incurrence by either Lessee or any ERISA  Affiliate of any
                  liability, fine or penalty that is reasonably likely to have a
                  Material Adverse Effect.  Each Employee Benefit Plan,  related
                  trust  agreement,  arrangement and commitment of Lessee or any
                  ERISA Affiliate is legally valid and binding and in full force
                  and  effect.  No  Employee  Benefit  Plan is being  audited or
                  investigated  by any  government  agency or is  subject to any
                  pending or threatened claim or suit that is reasonably  likely
                  to have a  Material  Adverse  Effect.  Neither  Lessee nor any
                  ERISA Affiliate nor any fiduciary of any Employee Benefit Plan
                  has engaged in a prohibited  transaction  under section 406 of
                  ERISA or section 4975 of the IRC.

                           (iii)   Neither   Lessee  nor  any  ERISA   Affiliate
                  contributes to or has any material  contingent  obligations to
                  any Multiemployer Plan. Neither Lessee nor any ERISA Affiliate
                  has incurred any liability  (including secondary liability) to
                  any  Multiemployer  Plan as a result of a complete  or partial
                  withdrawal from such  Multiemployer Plan under Section 4201 of
                  ERISA or as a result of a sale of assets  described in Section
                  4204 of ERISA  that is  reasonably  likely to have a  Material
                  Adverse  Effect.  Neither  Lessee nor any ERISA  Affiliate has
                  been notified that any Multiemployer Plan is in reorganization
                  or  insolvent  under and within the meaning of Section 4241 or
                  Section 4245 of ERISA or that any  Multiemployer  Plan intends
                  to terminate or has been  terminated  under  Section  4041A of
                  ERISA.

                  (m) Other  Regulations.  Lessee is not  subject to  regulation
         under the Investment  Company Act of 1940,  the Public Utility  Holding
         Company Act of 1935,  the Federal  Power Act, the  Interstate  Commerce
         Act, any state public utilities code or to any other  Governmental Rule
         limiting its ability to incur indebtedness.

                  (n) Patent and Other Rights.  Lessee and its  Subsidiaries own
         or license under validly  existing  agreements  all patents,  licenses,
         trademarks,  trade names, trade secrets,  service marks, copyrights and
         all rights with respect  thereto,  which are required to conduct  their
         businesses as now conducted.

                                       26


                  (o) Governmental  Charges and Other  Indebtedness.  Lessee and
         its Subsidiaries have filed or caused to be filed all tax returns which
         are  required to be filed by them where  failure to file is  reasonably
         likely to have a Material  Adverse Effect.  Lessee and its Subsidiaries
         have paid,  or made  provision  for the payment of, all taxes and other
         Governmental Charges which have or may have become due pursuant to said
         returns  or  otherwise   and  all  other   indebtedness,   except  such
         Governmental Charges or indebtedness, if any, which are being contested
         in  good  faith  and  as to  which  adequate  reserves  (determined  in
         accordance  with GAAP) have been  provided or which are not  reasonably
         likely to have a Material Adverse Effect if unpaid.

                  (p) Margin  Stock.  Lessee owns no Margin Stock which,  in the
         aggregate, would constitute a substantial part of the assets of Lessee,
         and no proceeds of any Loan will be used to purchase or carry, directly
         or  indirectly,  any  Margin  Stock or to extend  credit,  directly  or
         indirectly, to any Person for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any
         Margin Stock.

                  (q)  Subsidiaries,  etc.  Set forth in  Schedule  4.01(q)  (as
         supplemented  by Lessee from time to time in a written notice to Agent)
         is a complete list of all of Lessee's Subsidiaries, the jurisdiction of
         incorporation of each, the classes of Equity Securities of each and the
         number of shares and  percentages  of shares of each such  class  owned
         directly or  indirectly  by Lessee.  To the  knowledge  of Lessee after
         reasonable   investigation,   set  forth  on   Schedule   4.01(q)   (as
         supplemented  by Lessee from time to time in a written notice to Agent)
         is a description  of each  partnership or joint venture in which Lessee
         is a partner or a venturer.  Except as disclosed  on Schedule  4.01(q),
         Lessee  has no  Subsidiaries,  and to the  knowledge  of  Lessee  after
         reasonable  investigation Lessee is not a partner in any partnership or
         a joint venturer in a joint venture.

                  (r)  Catastrophic  Events.  Neither  Lessee  nor  any  of  its
         Subsidiaries  and none of their  properties  is or has been affected by
         any fire, explosion,  accident, strike, lockout or other labor dispute,
         drought, storm, hail, earthquake, embargo, act of God or other casualty
         that is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.  There are
         no disputes  presently subject to grievance  procedure,  arbitration or
         litigation   under  any  of  the  collective   bargaining   agreements,
         employment  contracts or employee  welfare or incentive  plans to which
         Lessee or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, and there are no strikes,
         lockouts,  work  stoppages or slowdowns,  or, to the best  knowledge of
         Lessee,  jurisdictional  disputes or organizing activities occurring or
         threatened  which alone or in the  aggregate are  reasonably  likely to
         have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  (s) Burdensome  Contractual  Obligations,  Etc. Neither Lessee
         nor any of its  Subsidiaries and none of their properties is subject to
         any  Contractual  Obligation or  Requirement of Law which is reasonably
         likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  (t) No Material  Adverse Effect.  No event has occurred and no
         condition exists which is reasonably  likely to have a Material Adverse
         Effect.

                                       27


                  (u) The Property.  The representations and warranties relating
         to each Tract set forth in Parts 1 and 2 of  Schedule  4.01(u) are true
         and correct. The following  representations and warranties apply to all
         Tracts on the Acquisition Date thereof:

                           (i) All of the  Property  complies and will comply at
                  all times (whether before  commencement  of any  construction,
                  during any construction or after completion of construction of
                  any New Improvements)  with all applicable  Governmental Rules
                  (including Title III of the Americans with  Disabilities  Act;
                  Environmental Laws; and zoning,  land use, building,  planning
                  and fire laws,  rules,  regulations  and codes) and  Insurance
                  Requirements,  except for violations  which are not reasonably
                  likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Except as disclosed
                  in the Environmental  Reports, (A) no Hazardous Materials have
                  been used, generated,  manufactured, stored, treated, disposed
                  of,  transported or present on or released or discharged  from
                  the Property in any manner that is reasonably likely to have a
                  Material Adverse Effect and (B) there are no claims or actions
                  which are reasonably  likely to have a Material Adverse Effect
                  pending or, to Lessee's  knowledge,  threatened against any of
                  the Property by any Governmental Authority or any other Person
                  relating   to   Hazardous   Materials   or   pursuant  to  any
                  Environmental Laws.

                           (ii)  None  of  the   Improvements   (whether  before
                  commencement of any  construction,  during any construction or
                  after  completion  of  construction  of any New  Improvements)
                  encroach  or will at any time  encroach in any manner onto any
                  adjoining  land,  except as permitted  by express  written and
                  recorded  encroachment  agreements  approved  by  Agent  or as
                  affirmatively insured against by appropriate title insurance.

                           (iii)  All   licenses,   approvals,   authorizations,
                  consents,  permits,  easements and rights-of-way  required for
                  the use of any of the Property  have been  obtained or, if not
                  yet required, will be obtained before required.

                           (iv) After the  Closing  Date,  Lessor will have good
                  and valid fee  interest in the  Property,  subject to no Liens
                  except for Permitted Property Liens.

                  (v) Chief Executive Office. Lessee's chief executive office is
         located at 120 North Redwood Drive, San Rafael, California.

                  (w) Accuracy of Information  Furnished.  None of the Operative
         Documents and none of the other certificates, statements or information
         furnished  to any Lessor  Party by or on behalf of Lessee or any of its
         Subsidiaries  in  connection  with  the  Operative   Documents  or  the
         transactions  contemplated  thereby contains or will contain any untrue
         statement of a material  fact or omits or will omit to state a material
         fact  necessary  to  make  the  statements  therein,  in  light  of the
         circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

                  (x) The Budget attached hereto as Schedule 4.01(x) is based on
         reasonable  assumptions as to all legal and factual matters material to
         the estimates set forth therein

                                       28


         and is consistent  with the provisions of the  Construction  Agreements
         and the Operative  Documents.  To the best of Lessee's  knowledge,  the
         Budget  includes all costs necessary to complete the acquisition of the
         Property and the construction of the New Improvements.

Lessee  shall be  deemed  to have  reaffirmed,  for the  benefit  of the  Lessor
Parties,  each  representation  and warranty contained in this Paragraph 4.01 on
and as of the  date  of  each  Credit  Event  (except  for  representations  and
warranties expressly made as of a specified date, which shall be true as of such
date).

         4.02.  Lessor's  Representations  and  Warranties.  In order to  induce
Lessee,  Agent and the  Participants  to enter into this Agreement and the other
Operative  Documents to which they are parties,  Lessor  hereby  represents  and
warranties to Lessee, Agent and the Participants as follows:

                  (a) Due  Incorporation,  Qualification,  etc.  Lessor (i) is a
         corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
         the laws of Delaware and (ii) has the power and authority to own, lease
         and operate its properties and carry on its business as now conducted.

                  (b)  Authority.  The  execution,  delivery and  performance by
         Lessor of each  Operative  Document  executed,  or to be  executed,  by
         Lessor and the  consummation of the transactions  contemplated  thereby
         (i) are within  the power of Lessor and (ii) have been duly  authorized
         by all necessary actions on the part of Lessor.

                  (c) Enforceability. Each Operative Document executed, or to be
         executed,  by Lessor has been,  or will be, duly executed and delivered
         by Lessor  and  constitutes,  or will  constitute,  a legal,  valid and
         binding obligation of Lessor,  enforceable against Lessor in accordance
         with its terms,  except as limited by  bankruptcy,  insolvency or other
         laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of
         creditors' rights generally and general principles of equity.

                  (d) Non-Contravention. The execution and delivery by Lessor of
         the  Operative  Documents  executed by Lessor and the  performance  and
         consummation  of the  transactions  contemplated  thereby  do  not  (i)
         violate any  Requirement of Law applicable to Lessor;  (ii) violate any
         provision  of,  or  result in the  breach  or the  acceleration  of, or
         entitle any other  Person to  accelerate  (whether  after the giving of
         notice or lapse of time or both), any Contractual Obligation of Lessor;
         or (iii)  result  in the  creation  or  imposition  of any Lien (or the
         obligation  to create or impose any Lien) upon any  property,  asset or
         revenue  of Lessor  (except  such  Liens as may be  created in favor of
         Agent pursuant to this Agreement or the other Operative Documents).

                  (e) Approvals.  No consent,  approval,  order or authorization
         of, or  registration,  declaration  or filing  with,  any  Governmental
         Authority  or  other  Person  (including,   without   limitation,   the
         shareholders  of  any  Person)  is  required  in  connection  with  the
         execution  and delivery of the Operative  Documents  executed by Lessor
         and the

                                       29


         performance and consummation of the transactions  contemplated thereby,
         except  such as have been made or  obtained  and are in full  force and
         effect.

                  (f) Litigation.  No actions  (including,  without  limitation,
         derivative actions),  suits,  proceedings or investigations are pending
         or, to the knowledge of Lessor,  threatened against Lessor at law or in
         equity in any court or before any other  Governmental  Authority  which
         (i) is reasonably  likely (alone or in the aggregate) to materially and
         adversely affect the ability of Lessor to perform its obligations under
         the Operative Documents to which it is a party or (ii) seeks to enjoin,
         either directly or indirectly,  the execution,  delivery or performance
         by Lessor of the Operative  Documents or the transactions  contemplated
         thereby.

Documents to which they are parties,  each  Participant  hereby  represents  and
warranties to Lessee, Lessor and Agent as follows:

                  (a) Due  Incorporation,  Qualification,  etc. Such Participant
         (i) is a  corporation  duly  organized,  validly  existing  and in good
         standing under the laws of its  jurisdiction of  organization  and (ii)
         has the power and  authority to own,  lease and operate its  properties
         and carry on its business as now conducted.

                  (b) Authority. The execution, delivery and performance by such
         Participant of each Operative Document executed,  or to be executed, by
         such Participant and the consummation of the transactions  contemplated
         thereby (i) are within the power of such Participant and (ii) have been
         duly  authorized  by  all  necessary   actions  on  the  part  of  such
         Participant.

                  (c) Enforceability. Each Operative Document executed, or to be
         executed,  by such  Participant has been, or will be, duly executed and
         delivered by such  Participant and constitutes,  or will constitute,  a
         legal,  valid and binding  obligation of such Participant,  enforceable
         against  such  Participant  in  accordance  with its  terms,  except as
         limited by bankruptcy,  insolvency or other laws of general application
         relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally
         and general principles of equity.

                  (d)  Non-Contravention.  The  execution  and  delivery by such
         Participant of the Operative Documents executed by such Participant and
         the  performance  and  consummation  of the  transactions  contemplated
         thereby do not (i) violate any  Requirement  of Law  applicable to such
         Participant;  (ii) violate any provision of, or result in the breach or
         the acceleration of, or entitle any other Person to accelerate (whether

                                       30


         after the giving of notice or lapse of time or both),  any  Contractual
         Obligation  of such  Participant;  or (iii)  result in the  creation or
         imposition of any Lien (or the obligation to create or impose any Lien)
         upon any property,  asset or revenue of such  Participant  (except such
         Liens as may be  created in favor of Lessor or Agent  pursuant  to this
         Agreement or the other Operative Documents).

                  (e) Approvals.  No consent,  approval,  order or authorization
         of, or  registration,  declaration  or filing  with,  any  Governmental
         Authority  or  other  Person  (including,   without   limitation,   the
         shareholders  of  any  Person)  is  required  in  connection  with  the
         execution  and  delivery of the  Operative  Documents  executed by such
         Participant and the performance  and  consummation of the  transactions
         contemplated thereby, except such as have been made or obtained and are
         in full force and effect.

                  (f) Litigation.  No actions  (including,  without  limitation,
         derivative actions),  suits,  proceedings or investigations are pending
         or, to the  knowledge  of such  Participant,  threatened  against  such
         Participant  at law or in  equity  in any  court or  before  any  other
         Governmental  Authority which (i) is reasonably likely (alone or in the
         aggregate)  to  materially  and  adversely  affect the  ability of such
         Participant to perform its obligations under the Operative Documents to
         which  it is a party  or (ii)  seeks  to  enjoin,  either  directly  or
         indirectly, the execution,  delivery or performance by such Participant
         of the Operative Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.

                  (g)  Own  Account.   Such   Participant   is   acquiring   its
         participation interest hereunder for its own account for investment and
         not with a view to any  distribution  (as such term is used in  Section
         2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933) thereof,  and, if in the future it
         should decide to dispose of its participation  interest, it understands
         that it may do so only in compliance  with the  Securities  Act of 1933
         and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
         thereunder and any applicable state securities laws.

                                       33


         Indebtedness which, if unpaid, could become a Lien upon the property of
         Lessee or its Subsidiaries and (iii) all other  indebtedness  which, if
         unpaid, is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect,  except
         such Indebtedness as may in good faith be contested or disputed, or for

         in each such case appropriate reserves are maintained to the reasonable
         satisfaction of Agent.

         purchasing  or  carrying  or  trading  in  any  securities  under  such
         circumstances  as to involve  Lessee or any Lessor Party in a violation

         and  necessary  in its business in good  working  order and  condition,
         ordinary  wear and tear  excepted.  Lessee  shall  maintain  its  chief

         Specifications  do not cause the value of any Sub-Tract to be less than
         the  value  of such  Sub-Tract  as set  forth  in the  Expiration  Date
         Appraisal delivered on the Closing Date.

         5.02.  Lessee's  Negative  Covenants.  Until  the  termination  of this

         would require the posting of security pursuant to section 401(a)(29) of

         Affiliate or engage in any other  transaction with any Affiliate except

         December  31,  1997  (such date to be  referred  to herein as the "base
         date")  to be  less  than  the sum on  such  determination  date of the

                  below) for each fiscal quarter after the base date through and
                  including the fiscal quarter ending on the determination date;

                                      minus

                           (iii)  the  sum of  Lessee's  consolidated  quarterly
                  "in-process R & D loss" for each fiscal quarter after the base
                  date through and  including the fiscal  quarter  ending on the
                  determination date;

                                      plus

                           (iv) One hundred  percent  (100%) of the Net Proceeds
                  of all Equity Securities issued by Lessee and its Subsidiaries
                  (to Persons other than Lessee or its Subsidiaries)  during the
                  period   commencing  on  the  base  date  and  ending  on  the
                  determination date; and

         As used in this  Subparagraph  5.03(a),  "in-process  R & D loss" shall
         mean, with respect to any fiscal quarter in which Lessee  experiences a
         consolidated  net loss,  the  lesser of (A) the amount of such net loss
         and (B) the sum of all  in-process  research and  development  charges,
         determined on a consolidated  basis in accordance  with GAAP,  taken by
         Lessee and its Subsidiaries during such quarter.

         5.04. Lessor's  Covenants.  Until the termination of this Agreement and
the  satisfaction  in full by  Lessor of all  Lessor  Obligations,  Lessor  will
comply, and will cause compliance,  with the following covenants,  unless Lessee
and Required Participants shall otherwise consent in writing:

                  (a) Use of  Proceeds.  Lessor  shall use the  proceeds  of all
         amounts  delivered to Lessor by  Participants  pursuant to Subparagraph
         2.05(a) solely to fund Advances.

                  (b) Lessor Liens.  Lessor shall not create,  incur,  assume or
         permit to exist any Lessor Lien  (other than any Lien  granted to Agent
         or any  Participant  pursuant to the Operative  Documents to secure the
         Lessor Obligations) and shall promptly discharge,  at its sole cost and
         expense,  any Lessor Lien on the Property (other than any Liens granted
         to Agent or any  Participant  pursuant to the  Operative  Documents  to
         secure the Lessor Obligations);  provided,  however,  that Lessor shall
         not be  required  so to  discharge  any

                                       42


         such Lessor Lien if the same is being (or promptly  will be)  contested
         in  good  faith  by  appropriate   proceedings  diligently  prosecuted,
         provided  that any such contest is  completed  and all Lessor Liens are
         discharged on or prior to the Expiration Date.

                  (c)  Property  Disposition.  Lessor  shall  not  sell,  lease,
         transfer or otherwise  dispose of its right,  title and interest in the
         Property and the Operative Documents except as provided in Subparagraph
         2.11(b) or Subparagraph  7.05(d) hereof or in the Purchase Agreement or
         after retaining the Property following the Expiration Date.

                  (d) Chief Executive Office.  Lessor shall not change its chief
         executive office without giving Agent prompt written notice.

         5.05. Participants' Covenants.  Each Participant covenants that it will
not fund its portion of any  Advance  with the assets of any  "employee  benefit
plan" (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) which is subject to Title I of ERISA

SECTION 6.        LESSOR, AGENT AND THEIR RELATIONS WITH PARTICIPANTS.

         6.01.  Appointment  of Agent.  Each  Participant  hereby  appoints  and
authorizes  Agent to act as its agent  hereunder  and under the other  Operative
Documents  with such powers as are expressly  delegated to Agent by the terms of
this  Agreement  and the other  Operative  Documents,  together  with such other
powers  as are  reasonably  incidental  thereto.  Lessor is not an agent for the
Participants  or Agent,  and  neither  this  Agreement  nor any other  Operative
Document  shall be construed to constitute  or evidence a partnership  among the
Lessor Parties or otherwise to impose upon Lessor or Agent any fiduciary duty.

         6.02.  Powers and  Immunities.  Neither Lessor nor Agent shall have any
duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or
in any other  Operative  Document,  be a trustee for any Participant or have any
fiduciary  duty to any  Participant.  Notwithstanding  anything to the  contrary
contained herein,  neither Lessor nor Agent shall be required to take any action
which is  contrary  to this  Agreement  or any other  Operative  Document or any
applicable Governmental Rule. Neither Lessor nor Agent nor any Participant shall
be responsible to any Participant for any recitals, statements,  representations
or  warranties  made by  Lessee  or any of its  Subsidiaries  contained  in this
Agreement  or  in  any  other  Operative  Document,  for  the  value,  validity,
effectiveness,  genuineness,  enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or
any  other  Operative  Document  or for  any  failure  by  Lessee  or any of its
Subsidiaries to perform their  respective  obligations  hereunder or thereunder.
Lessor  and Agent  may  employ  agents  and  attorneys-in-fact  and shall not be
responsible  to any  Participant  for the  negligence  or misconduct of any such
agents or attorneys-in-fact  selected by it with reasonable care. Neither Lessor
nor Agent nor any of their respective directors,  officers, employees, agents or
advisors shall be responsible to any Participant for any action taken or omitted
to be taken by it or them hereunder or under any other Operative  Document or in
connection  herewith or therewith,  except for its or their own gross negligence
or willful misconduct. Except as otherwise provided under this Agreement, Lessor
and Agent shall take such  action with  respect to the  Operative  Documents  as
shall be directed by the Required Participants.

                                       43


         6.03.  Reliance.  Lessor or Agent  shall be  entitled  to rely upon any
certificate,  notice or other document (including any cable, telegram, facsimile
or telex)  believed  by it in good faith to be genuine  and  correct and to have
been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper  Person or  Persons,  and upon
advice  and  statements  of legal  counsel,  independent  accountants  and other
experts  selected  by  Lessor or Agent  with  reasonable  care.  As to any other
matters not expressly  provided for by this Agreement,  neither Lessor nor Agent
shall be required to take any action or exercise  any  discretion,  but shall be
required  to act or to refrain  from acting upon  instructions  of the  Required
Participants  and shall in all cases be fully  protected by the  Participants in
acting,  or in refraining  from acting,  hereunder or under any other  Operative
Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required  Participants,  and
such  instructions of the Required  Participants and any action taken or failure
to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Participants.

         6.04.  Defaults.  Neither  Lessor  nor  Agent  shall be  deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the  occurrence  of any Default  unless  Lessor and Agent
have received a written notice from a Participant  or Lessee,  referring to this
Agreement,  describing such Default and stating that such notice is a "Notice of
Default".  If Lessor  and Agent  receive  such a notice of the  occurrence  of a
Default, Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Participants.  Lessor and
Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as shall be reasonably
directed by the Required Participants;  provided, however, that until Lessor and
Agent shall have received such directions, Lessor or Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect
to  such  Default  as it  shall  deem  advisable  in the  best  interest  of the
Participants.

         6.05.  Indemnification.  Without  limiting  the  Obligations  of Lessee
hereunder,  each Participant  agrees to indemnify  Lessor and Agent,  ratably in
accordance  with  such  Participant's  Proportionate  Share,  for  any  and  all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs,  expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature  whatsoever which may at
any time be imposed on,  incurred by or asserted  against Lessor or Agent in any
way relating to or arising out of this  Agreement or any documents  contemplated
by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions  contemplated  hereby or
thereby or the  enforcement  of any of the terms  hereof or  thereof;  provided,
however,  that no  Participant  shall be liable for any of the  foregoing to the
extent  they  arise  from  Lessor's  or  Agent's  gross  negligence  or  willful
misconduct.  Lessor or Agent shall be fully  justified in refusing to take or in
continuing to take any action  hereunder unless it shall first be indemnified to
its satisfaction by the  Participants  against any and all liability and expense
which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or  continuing  to take any such
action.  The  obligations  of each  Participant  under this Paragraph 6.05 shall
survive the payment and performance of the Lessee  Obligations,  the termination
of this  Agreement and any  Participant  ceasing to be a party to this Agreement
(with respect to events which occurred prior to the time such Participant ceased
to be a Participant hereunder).

         6.06.   Non-Reliance.   Each   Participant   represents  that  it  has,
independently and without reliance on Lessor,  Agent, or any other  Participant,
and based on such documents and information as it has deemed  appropriate,  made
its own appraisal of the business,  prospects,  management,  financial condition
and affairs of Lessee and the  Subsidiaries  and its own  decision to enter into
this Agreement and agrees that it will,  independently and without reliance upon
Lessor,  Agent  or any  other  Participant,  and  based  on such  documents  and
information as it shall deem  appropriate at the time,  continue to make its own
appraisals  and decisions in taking or not

                                       44


taking  action under this  Agreement or any other  Operative  Document.  Neither
Lessor  nor  Agent  nor any of  their  respective  affiliates  nor any of  their
respective  directors,  officers,  employees,  agents or  advisors  shall (a) be
required to keep any Participant informed as to the performance or observance by
Lessee or any of its Subsidiaries of the obligations under this Agreement or any
other  document  referred to or provided for herein or to make inquiry of, or to
inspect the properties or books of Lessee or any of its  Subsidiaries;  (b) have
any duty or  responsibility  to provide any Participant with any credit or other
information concerning Lessee or any of its Subsidiaries which may come into the
possession of Lessor or Agent,  except for notices,  reports and other documents
and information expressly required to be furnished to the Participants by Lessor
or  Agent  hereunder;  or (c) be  responsible  to any  Participant  for  (i) any
recital,  statement,  representation  or warranty made by Lessee or any officer,
employee or agent of Lessee in this  Agreement or in any of the other  Operative
Documents, (ii) the value, validity, effectiveness,  genuineness, enforceability
or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Operative  Document,  (iii) the value or
sufficiency of the Property or the validity or perfection of any of the liens or
security  interests intended to be created by the Operative  Documents,  or (iv)
any failure by Lessee to perform its  obligations  under this  Agreement  or any
other Operative Document.

         6.07.  Resignation or Removal of Agent. Agent may resign at any time by
giving  thirty  (30)  days  prior  written  notice  thereof  to  Lessee  and the
Participants,  and Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the
Required  Participants.  Upon any such  resignation  or  removal,  the  Required
Participants  shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent, which Agent, if
not a Participant,  shall be reasonably acceptable to Lessee; provided, however,
that Lessee  shall have no right to approve a  successor  Agent if a Default has
occurred and is  continuing.  Upon the  acceptance of any  appointment  as Agent
hereunder by a successor Agent,  such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to
and become  vested with all the  rights,  powers,  privileges  and duties of the
retiring  Agent,  and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from the duties and
obligations thereafter arising hereunder. After any retiring Agent's resignation
or removal  hereunder as Agent,  the provisions of this Section VI and any other
provision of this Agreement or any other  Operative  Document which by its terms
survives the  termination  of this  Agreement  shall  continue in effect for its
benefit in respect  of any  actions  taken or omitted to be taken by it while it
was acting as Agent.

         6.08. Authorization.  Agent is hereby authorized by the Participants to
execute,  deliver and perform, each of the Operative Documents to which Agent is
or is intended to be a party and each  Participant  agrees to be bound by all of
the agreements of Agent contained in the Operative Documents.

         6.09. Lessor and Agent in their Individual  Capacities.  Lessor,  Agent
and their  respective  affiliates  may make loans to,  accept  deposits from and
generally  engage in any kind of banking or other  business  with Lessee and its
Subsidiaries and affiliates as though Lessor were not Lessor hereunder and Agent
were not Agent hereunder. With respect to Advances, if any, made by Agent in its
capacity as a Participant, Agent in its capacity as a Participant shall have the
same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Operative Documents as
any other Participant and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent, and
the terms "Participant" or "Participants" shall include Agent in its capacity as
a Participant.

                                       45

Each Advance  Request,  Notice of Rental Period  Selection,  Extension  Request,
Notice of Term Purchase Option Exercise, Notice of Marketing Option Exercise and
Notice of Expiration  Date Purchase  Option Exercise shall be given by Lessee to
Agent's  office  located  at its  address  referred  to above  during its normal
business hours; provided,  however, that any such notice received by Agent after
10:00 a.m.  on any  Business  Day shall be deemed  received by Agent on the next
Business Day. In any case where this  Agreement  authorizes  notices,  requests,
demands  or other  communications  by Lessee to any  Lessor  Party to be made by
telephone or facsimile,  any Lessor Party may  conclusively  presume that anyone
purporting to be a person  designated  in any  incumbency  certificate  or other
similar document received by such Lessor Party is such a person.

         7.02. Expenses.  Lessee shall pay on demand, whether or not any Advance
is made hereunder,  (a) all reasonable fees and expenses,  including  reasonable
attorneys'  fees and expenses,  incurred by Lessor and Agent in connection  with
the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of, the consummation of the
transactions  contemplated  by and the  exercise  of their  duties  under,  this
Agreement and the other Operative Documents,  and the preparation,  negotiation,
execution and delivery of amendments  and waivers  hereunder and  thereunder and
(b) all reasonable fees and expenses,  including reasonable  attorneys' fees and
expenses,  incurred  by the  Lessor  Parties  in the  enforcement  or  attempted
enforcement of any of the Lessee  Obligations or in preserving any of the Lessor
Parties' rights and remedies  (including all such fees and expenses  incurred in
connection with any "workout" or restructuring affecting the Operative Documents
or the Lessee  Obligations  or any  bankruptcy or similar  proceeding  involving
Lessee  or any of its  Subsidiaries).  As  used  herein,  the  term  "reasonable
attorneys' fees and expenses" shall include, without limitation, allocable costs
and expenses of Agent's and Participants'  in-house legal counsel and staff. The
obligations  of Lessee under this  Paragraph  7.02 shall survive the payment and
performance of the Lessee Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

         7.03.  Indemnification.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, Lessee
agrees to protect,  indemnify,  defend and hold harmless, on an after-tax basis,
the  Lessor  Parties  and the other  Indemnitees  from and  against  any and all
liabilities,  losses,  damages  or  expenses  of any kind or  nature  (including
Indemnified  Taxes) and from any suits,  claims or demands (including in respect
of or for reasonable  attorney's fees and other expenses)  arising on account of
or in  connection  with any  matter  or thing or  action  or  failure  to act by
Indemnitees,  or any  of  them,  arising  out of or  relating  to the  Operative
Documents, any transaction  contemplated thereby or the Property,  including any
use by  Lessee of the  Property  or the  Advances,  except  to the  extent  such
liability  arises  from  the  willful  misconduct  or gross  negligence  of such
Indemnitee.  Upon receiving knowledge of any suit, claim or demand asserted by a
third party that any Lessor Party  believes is covered by this  indemnity,  such
Lessor Party shall give Lessee notice of the matter and an opportunity to defend
it,  at  Lessee's  sole  cost  and  expense,   with  legal  counsel   reasonably
satisfactory  to such Lessor Party.  Such Lessor Parties may also require Lessee
to defend the matter.  Any failure or delay of any Lessor Party to notify Lessee
of any such suit,  claim or demand shall not relieve  Lessee of its  obligations
under this Paragraph 7.03 but shall reduce such obligations to the extent of any
increase in those obligations caused solely by any such failure or

                                       48


delay that is unreasonable.  The obligations of Lessee under this Paragraph 7.03
shall  survive the payment and  performance  of the Lessee  Obligations  and the
termination of this Agreement.

         7.04. Waivers;  Amendments. Any term, covenant,  agreement or condition
of this  Agreement or any other  Operative  Document may be amended or waived if
such  amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by Lessor,  Lessee and the
Required Participants; provided, however that:

                  (a) Any  amendment,  waiver or consent which (i) increases the
         364-Day Commitment,  Thirty-Month Commitment or Total Commitment,  (ii)
         extends the Scheduled Expiration Date, (iii) reduces the Rental Rate or
         any fees or other amounts  payable for the account of the  Participants
         hereunder,  (iv)  postpones any date  scheduled for any payment of Base
         Rent or any  fees or  other  amounts  payable  for the  account  of the
         Participants hereunder or thereunder, (v) amends Paragraph 2.06 or this
         Paragraph 7.04, (vi) amends the definition of Required  Participants or
         (vii)  releases  Lessor's  interest  in  any  substantial  part  of the
         Property,  must be in writing  and signed or approved in writing by all
         Participants;

                  (b) Any  amendment,  waiver  or  consent  which  increases  or
         decreases the Proportionate Share of any Participant must be in writing
         and signed by such Participant; and

                  (c) Any amendment,  waiver or consent which affects the rights
         or obligations of Agent must be in writing and signed by Agent.

No failure or delay by any Lessor Party in exercising any right  hereunder shall
operate  as a waiver  thereof  or of any other  right  nor  shall any  single or
partial  exercise of any such right preclude any other further  exercise thereof
or of any other right.  Unless otherwise  specified in such waiver or consent, a
waiver or  consent  given  hereunder  shall be  effective  only in the  specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

         7.05.    Successors and Assigns.

                  (a) Binding  Effect.  This  Agreement and the other  Operative
         Documents  shall be  binding  upon and inure to the  benefit of Lessee,
         Lessor,  the  Participants,   Agent  and  their  respective   permitted
         successors and assigns.  All references in this Agreement to any Person
         shall be deemed to include all successors and assigns of such Person.

                  (b)      Participant Assignments.

                           (i) Any Participant may, at any time, sell and assign
                  to   any   other   Participant   or  any   Eligible   Assignee
                  (individually,  an "Assignee Participant") all or a portion of
                  its rights and obligations  under this Agreement and the other
                  Operative Documents (such a sale and assignment to be referred
                  to  herein  as an  "Assignment")  pursuant  to  an  assignment
                  agreement   in  the  form  of   Exhibit   M  (an   "Assignment
                  Agreement"),  executed by each Assignee  Participant  and such
                  assignor Participant (an "Assignor Participant") and delivered
                  to Agent for its  acceptance  and  recording in the  Register;
                  provided, however, that:

                                       49


                                    (A) Without  the written  consent of Lessor,
                           Agent  and,  if  no  Default  has   occurred  and  is
                           continuing,  Lessee (which  consent of Lessor,  Agent
                           and Lessee shall not be  unreasonably  withheld),  no
                           Participant  may make any  Assignment to any Assignee
                           Participant  which is not,  immediately prior to such
                           Assignment,  a Participant  hereunder or an Affiliate
                           thereof; or

                                    (B) Without  the written  consent of Lessor,
                           Agent  and,  if  no  Default  has   occurred  and  is
                           continuing,  Lessee (which  consent of Lessor,  Agent
                           and Lessee shall not be  unreasonably  withheld),  no
                           Participant  may make any  Assignment to any Assignee
                           Participant   if,   after   giving   effect  to  such
                           Assignment,  the  Commitment of such  Participant  or
                           such  Assignee  Participant  would be less  than Five
                           Million   Dollars   ($5,000,000)   (except   that   a
                           Participant may make an Assignment  which reduces its
                           Commitment  to zero  without the  written  consent of
                           Lessor, Agent or Lessee); or

                                    (C) Without  the written  consent of Lessor,
                           Agent  and,  if  no  Default  has   occurred  and  is
                           continuing,  Lessee (which  consent of Lessor,  Agent
                           and Lessee shall not be  unreasonably  withheld),  no
                           Participant   may   make   any   Assignment   of  its
                           Outstanding  Tranche  A  Participation  Amount or its
                           Outstanding Tranche B Participation Amount which does
                           not assign and delegate an equal pro rata interest in
                           (1)  such   Participant's   Outstanding   Tranche   A
                           Participation  Amount and its  Outstanding  Tranche B
                           Participation  Amount, (2) such Participant's Tranche
                           A Percentage  and its Tranche B  Percentage,  and (3)
                           such   Participant's   other   rights,   duties   and
                           obligations relating to the Tranche A Portion and the
                           Tranche B Portion under this  Agreement and the other
                           Operative Documents.

                                    (D) Without  the written  consent of Lessor,
                           Agent  and,  if  no  Default  has   occurred  and  is
                           continuing,  Lessee (which  consent of Lessor,  Agent
                           and Lessee shall not be  unreasonably  withheld),  no
                           Tranche C Participant  may make any Assignment of its
                           Outstanding Tranche C Participation Amount which does
                           not assign and delegate an equal pro rata interest in
                           (1)  such   Participant's   Outstanding   Tranche   C
                           Participation  Amount, (2) such Participant's Tranche
                           C  Percentage,   and  (3)  such  Participant's  other
                           rights,   duties  and  obligations  relating  to  the
                           Tranche C Portion under this  Agreement and the other
                           Operative Documents.

                  Upon such  execution,  delivery,  acceptance  and recording of
                  each  Assignment  Agreement,  from and  after  the  Assignment
                  Effective  Date   determined   pursuant  to  such   Assignment
                  Agreement, (y) each Assignee Participant thereunder shall be a
                  Participant  hereunder with a Tranche A Percentage,  Tranche B
                  Percentage,  Tranche C Percentage and  Proportionate  Share as
                  set forth on Attachment 1 to such Assignment  Agreement (under
                  the caption  "Tranche  Percentages  and  Proportionate  Shares
                  After  Assignment")  and shall  have the  rights,  duties  and
                  obligations of such a Participant under this Agreement and the
                  other Operative

                                       50


                  Documents,  and (z) the Assignor Participant  thereunder shall
                  be a  Participant  with a  Tranche  A  Percentage,  Tranche  B
                  Percentage,  Tranche C Percentage and  Proportionate  Share as
                  set forth on Attachment 1 to such Assignment  Agreement (under
                  the caption  "Tranche  Percentages  and  Proportionate  Shares
                  After  Assignment"),  or,  if the  Proportionate  Share of the
                  Assignor  Participant  has been  reduced to 0%,  the  Assignor
                  Participant  shall cease to be a  Participant  and to have any
                  obligation  to fund  any  portion  of any  Advance;  provided,
                  however, that any such Assignor Participant which ceases to be
                  a Participant shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of
                  any provision of this  Agreement  which by its terms  survives
                  the termination of this Agreement.  Each Assignment  Agreement
                  shall be deemed to amend Schedule I to the extent, and only to
                  the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of each Assignee
                  Participant,  the deletion of each Assignor  Participant which
                  reduces  its  Proportionate  Share  to 0%  and  the  resulting
                  adjustment of Tranche A  Percentages,  Tranche B  Percentages,
                  Tranche C Percentages  and  Proportionate  Shares arising from
                  the purchase by each Assignee  Participant of all or a portion
                  of the rights and obligations of an Assignor Participant under
                  this  Agreement  and  the  other  Operative  Documents.   Each
                  Assignee  Participant  which was not  previously a Participant
                  hereunder and which is not incorporated  under the laws of the
                  United  States of America  or a state  thereof  shall,  within
                  three (3) Business Days of becoming a Participant,  deliver to
                  Lessee and Agent two duly  completed  copies of United  States
                  Internal  Revenue  Service  Form  1001 or 4224  (or  successor
                  applicable  form), as the case may be, certifying in each case
                  that such  Participant  is entitled to receive  payments under
                  this Agreement  without deduction or withholding of any United
                  States federal income taxes.

                           (ii) Agent shall maintain at its address  referred to
                  in  Paragraph  7.01  a  copy  of  each  Assignment   Agreement
                  delivered  to it  and a  register  (the  "Register")  for  the
                  recordation of the names and addresses of the Participants and
                  the  Tranche A  Percentage,  Tranche B  Percentage,  Tranche C
                  Percentage and  Proportionate  Share of each  Participant from
                  time to time.  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive
                  in the absence of manifest  error,  and Lessee,  Agent and the
                  Participants  may treat each Person  whose name is recorded in
                  the Register as the owner of the  interests  recorded  therein
                  for all  purposes of this  Agreement.  The  Register  shall be
                  available for  inspection by Lessee or any  Participant at any
                  reasonable  time and from time to time upon  reasonable  prior
                  notice.

                           (iii)  Upon its  receipt of an  Assignment  Agreement
                  executed   by  an   Assignor   Participant   and  an  Assignee
                  Participant (and, to the extent required by clause (i) of this
                  Subparagraph  7.05(b), by Lessor, Agent and Lessee),  together
                  with   payment  to  Agent  by   Assignor   Participant   of  a
                  registration  and  processing  fee of $2,500,  Agent shall (A)
                  promptly  accept  such  Assignment  Agreement  and  (B) on the
                  Assignment  Effective Date determined  pursuant thereto record
                  the  information  contained  therein in the  Register and give
                  notice of such  acceptance  and  recordation  to  Lessor,  the
                  Participants  and Lessee.  Agent may, from time to time at its
                  election,  prepare and deliver to Lessor, the Participants and
                  Lessee a

                                       51


                  revised  Schedule  I  reflecting  the  names,   addresses  and
                  respective  Proportionate  Shares  of  all  Participants  then
                  parties hereto.

                           (iv)  Subject  to  Subparagraph  7.13(g),  the Lessor
                  Parties may disclose the Operative Documents and any financial
                  or other  information  relating to Lessee or any Subsidiary to
                  each other or to any potential Assignee Participant.

                  (c) Participant Subparticipations.  Any Participant may at any
         time  sell  to  one or  more  banks  or  other  financial  institutions
         ("Subparticipants")   subparticipation  interests  in  the  rights  and
         interests  of such  Participant  under  this  Agreement  and the  other
         Operative Documents.  In the event of any such sale by a Participant of
         subparticipation  interests,  such Participant's obligations under this
         Agreement and the other  Operative  Documents  shall remain  unchanged,
         such  Participant  shall remain solely  responsible for the performance
         thereof and Lessee and the other Lessor  Parties shall continue to deal
         solely and  directly  with such  Participant  in  connection  with such
         Participant's   rights  and  obligations  under  this  Agreement.   Any
         agreement  pursuant to which any such sale is effected  may require the
         selling  Participant  to obtain the  consent of the  Subparticipant  in
         order for such Participant to agree in writing to any amendment, waiver
         or consent of a type  specified in clause (i),  (ii),  (iii) or (iv) of
         Subparagraph   7.04(a)  but  may  not  otherwise  require  the  selling
         Participant to obtain the consent of such  Subparticipant  to any other
         amendment,   waiver  or  consent  hereunder.  Lessee  agrees  that  any
         Participant which has transferred any subparticipation  interest shall,
         notwithstanding  any such  transfer,  be entitled to the full  benefits
         accorded such  Participant  under Paragraph  2.12,  Paragraph 2.13, and
         Paragraph 2.14, as if such Participant had not made such transfer.

                  (d) Lessor Assignments. Lessor may, upon one (1) month's prior
         written  notice to Lessee and Agent,  sell and assign all of its right,
         title and interest in the Property and its rights, powers,  privileges,
         duties and  obligations  under this  Agreement and the other  Operative
         Documents, provided that:

                           (i) If such sale and  assignment  is  effected  after
                  either (A) the  occurrence  of a Change of Law which  makes it
                  unlawful or  unreasonably  burdensome for Lessor to hold legal
                  or  beneficial  title  to  the  Property  or  to  perform  its
                  obligations  and  duties  under this  Agreement  and the other
                  Operative  Documents or (B) the  resignation or removal of the
                  Agent  which  was the  Agent at the  time  Lessor  became  the
                  Lessor, the purchaser/assignee  (the "successor Lessor") shall
                  be either (1) a Participant or an Eligible  Assignee that will
                  not cause the transaction  evidenced by this Agreement and the
                  other  Operative   Documents  to  lose  its  treatment  as  an
                  operating  lease  under  FASB 13 or (2) a Person  approved  as
                  provided in clause (ii) below; or

                           (ii) If such sale and  assignment  is effected in any
                  other  circumstance,  the  successor  Lessor shall be a Person
                  that is (A) a financial  institution or a Person controlled by
                  a financial  institution and (B) approved in writing by Agent,
                  Required  Participants  and, if no Default has occurred and is
                  continuing,   Lessee  (which   consents  of  Agent,   Required
                  Participants  and Lessee shall not be unreasonably  withheld);
                  and

                                       52


                           (iii) The successor  Lessor  executes such documents,
                  instruments  and  agreements as may reasonably be necessary to
                  evidence its  agreement to assume all of the  obligations  and
                  duties  of the  Lessor  under  this  Agreement  and the  other
                  Operative Documents.

         Upon  the  consummation  of any  such  sale  and  assignment,  (A)  the
         successor  Lessor shall  become the  "Lessor" and shall  succeed to and
         become  vested  with all the  rights,  powers,  privileges,  duties and
         obligations of the Lessor under this Agreement and the other  Operative
         Documents  and (B) the  retiring  Lessor shall be  discharged  from the
         duties and  obligations  of the Lessor  thereafter  arising  under this
         Agreement  and  the  other  Operative  Documents.  After  any  retiring
         Lessor's  discharge as the Lessor, the provisions of Section VI and any
         other provision of this Agreement or any other Operative Document which
         by its terms survives the  termination of this Agreement shall continue
         in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to
         be taken by it while it was acting as the Lessor.

         7.06.   Setoff.   In  addition  to  any  rights  and  remedies  of  the
Participants  provided by law, each Participant  shall have the right,  with the
prior  written  consent  of Agent,  but  without  prior  notice to or consent of
Lessee,  any such notice and  consent  being  expressly  waived by Lessee to the
extent  permitted  by  applicable  law,  upon  the  occurrence  and  during  the
continuance  of an Event of  Default,  to set-off  and apply  against the Lessee
Obligations,   whether  matured  or  unmatured,   any  amount  owing  from  such
Participant to Lessee,  at or at any time after, the occurrence of such Event of
Default.  The  aforesaid  right of set-off may be exercised by such  Participant
against  Lessee or against  any  trustee in  bankruptcy,  debtor in  possession,
assignee  for the  benefit of  creditors,  receiver  or  execution,  judgment or
attachment creditor of Lessee or against anyone else claiming through or against
Lessee or such trustee in  bankruptcy,  debtor in  possession,  assignee for the
benefit of creditors,  receiver, or execution,  judgment or attachment creditor,
notwithstanding  the  fact  that  such  right of  set-off  shall  not have  been
exercised by such  Participant  prior to the  occurrence of an Event of Default.
Each  Participant  agrees  promptly to notify  Lessee after any such set-off and
application  made by such  Participant,  provided  that the failure to give such
notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

         7.07. No Third Party Rights. Nothing expressed in or to be implied from
this  Agreement is intended to give, or shall be construed to give,  any Person,
other  than the  parties  hereto  and their  permitted  successors  and  assigns
hereunder,  any benefit or legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by
virtue of this Agreement or under or by virtue of any provision herein.

         7.08.  Partial  Invalidity.  If at  any  time  any  provision  of  this
Agreement  or any other  Operative  Document is or becomes  illegal,  invalid or
unenforceable  in any  respect  under the law or any  jurisdiction,  neither the
legality,  validity  or  enforceability  of the  remaining  provisions  of  this
Agreement  or the  other  Operative  Documents  nor the  legality,  validity  or
enforceability of such provision under the law of any other  jurisdiction  shall
in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

         7.09. JURY TRIAL. EACH OF LESSEE AND THE LESSOR PARTIES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY

                                       53


WAIVES  ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY AS TO ANY  ISSUE  RELATING  TO THE  OPERATIVE
DOCUMENTS IN ANY ACTION,  PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING
TO ANY OPERATIVE DOCUMENT.

         7.10.  Counterparts.  This  Agreement  may be executed in any number of
identical counterparts,  any set of which signed by all the parties hereto shall
be deemed to constitute a complete, executed original for all purposes.

         7.11.  No Joint  Venture,  Etc.  Neither this  Agreement  nor any other
Operative Document nor any transaction  contemplated  hereby or thereby shall be
construed to (a)  constitute a partnership  or joint venture  between Lessee and
any Lessor  Party or (b) impose  upon any Lessor  Party any agency  relationship
with or fiduciary duty to Lessee.

         7.12. Usury Savings Clause.  Nothing contained in this Agreement or any
other Operative  Documents shall be deemed to require the payment of interest or
other charges by Lessee in excess of the amount the  applicable  Lessor  Parties
may lawfully charge under  applicable  usury laws. In the event any Lessor Party
shall  collect  monies  which are  deemed to  constitute  interest  which  would
increase the effective interest rate to a rate in excess of that permitted to be
charged by applicable  law, all such sums deemed to constitute  excess  interest
shall, upon such  determination,  at the option of Lessor, be returned to Lessee
or credited against other Lessee Obligations.

         7.13. Confidentiality. No Lessor Party shall disclose to any Person any
information with respect to Lessee or any of its Subsidiaries which is furnished
pursuant to this Agreement or under the other Operative  Documents,  except that
any Lessor  Party may disclose any such  information  (a) to its own  directors,
officers, employees,  auditors, counsel and other advisors and to its Affiliates
to the extent reasonably determined by such Lessor Party to be necessary for the
administration  or  enforcement  of the  Operative  Documents;  (b) to any other
Lessor Party; (c) which is otherwise available to the public; (d) if required or
appropriate in any report,  statement or testimony submitted to any Governmental
Authority having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lessor Party; (e) if
required  in response to any summons or  subpoena;  (f) in  connection  with any
litigation  among  the  parties  relating  to  the  Operative  Documents  or the
transactions  contemplated  thereby;  (g) to comply with any  Requirement of Law
applicable  to  such  Lessor  Party;   (h)  to  any  Assignee   Participant   or
Subparticipant  or  any  prospective  Assignee  Participant  or  Subparticipant,
provided  that  such  Assignee  Participant  or  Subparticipant  or  prospective
Assignee  Participant  or  Subparticipant  agrees to be bound by this  Paragraph
7.13; or (i) otherwise with the prior consent of Lessee; provided, however, that
(i) any  Lessor  Party  served  with  any  summons  or  subpoena  demanding  the
disclosure of any such information shall use reasonable efforts to notify Lessee
promptly  of such  summons  or  subpoena  and,  if  requested  by Lessee and not
materially  disadvantageous  to such Lessor Party,  to cooperate  with Lessee in
obtaining  a  protective  order  restricting  such  disclosure,   and  (ii)  any
disclosure  made in violation of this Agreement shall not affect the obligations
of Lessee and its  Subsidiaries  under this  Agreement  and the other  Operative
Documents.

         7.14.  Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Operative  Documents
shall  be  governed  by the  laws of the  State  of  California.  Lessee  hereby
unconditionally  and irrevocably

                                       54


waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claim to assert that the law
of any jurisdiction  other than California  governs this Agreement and the other
Operative Documents.

         7.15.  Consent  to  Jurisdiction.  Lessee  irrevocably  submits  to the
jurisdiction  of: any state or federal  court sitting in the state of California
over any suit, action, or proceeding,  brought by Lessee against Lessor Parties,
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other  Operative  Documents;
and (b) any state  court  sitting  in Marin  County  over any suit,  action,  or
proceeding,  brought by Lessor Parties to exercise their STATUTORY POWER OF SALE
under this  Agreement or any action  brought by Lessor  Parties to enforce their
rights with respect to the Collateral. Lessee irrevocably waives, to the fullest
extent  permitted by law, any objection that Lessee may now or hereafter have to
the laying of venue of any such suit,  action, or proceeding brought in any such
court and any claim that any such suit,  action,  or  proceeding  brought in any
such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

                  Rent")  for  each  Rental  Period  for  each  Portion  of  the

                  the Rental Rate for such Rental Period and Portion,  times (B)
                  the  amount of such  Portion  on the first day of such  Rental
                  Period  (which  shall  include any  Advance  under made on the

                  by delivering a Notice of Rental Period  Selection as provided
                  in  clause  (iii)  below;  provided,  however,  that  (A) each
                  Portion shall be in the amount of  $10,000,000  or an integral
                  multiple of $100,000 in excess  thereof;  (B) the total number
                  of Portions outstanding at any time shall not exceed four (4);
                  and (C) the Outstanding Lease Amount shall consist of a single
                  Portion in the amount of the  Outstanding  Lease Amount if the
                  Outstanding Lease Amount is less than $10,000,000.

                           (iii) The Term shall consist of the following  rental
                  periods (individually, a "Rental Period") for each Portion:

                                    (A)  The   period   which   begins   on  the
                           Commencement  Date and ends on the first Business Day
                           in the first calendar month immediately following the
                           month in which the Commencement Date occurs; and

                                       3




                                    (B) Each successive  period thereafter which
                           begins on the last day of the  immediately  preceding
                           Rental Period for the applicable  Portion and ends at
                           the end of the time  period  selected  by  Lessee  as

                                    however,  that  (y) no  such  Rental  Period
                                    shall  be  longer  than  one (1)  month if a
                                    Default has  occurred and is  continuing  on
                                    the date  three (3)  Business  Days prior to

                                    fails to make a selection in accordance with
                                    this  clause  (iii)(B)(1)  shall  be one (1)

                                       7




foregoing,  Lessee specifically waives any covenant of quiet enjoyment except as

         (collectively, the "Personal Property Collateral"):

                           (i) All  Subleases  of and  all  Issues  and  Profits

                  and Condemnation Proceeds.

         For purpose of the provisions of this Agreement related to the creation
         and enforcement of this Agreement as a security agreement and a fixture
         filing with  respect to the Related  Goods,  Lessee is the "debtor" and
         Lessor is the  "secured  party,"  acting for the  benefit of the Lessor
         Parties.  This  Agreement  constitutes a fixture filing for purposes of
         the California  Commercial Code with respect to the Related Goods which
         are or are to become fixtures on the Land or Improvements.  The mailing
         addresses  of Lessee and of Lessor  from which  information  concerning
         security  interests  hereunder  may be obtained are as set forth on the
         signature  page of this  Agreement.  A  carbon,  photographic  or other
         reproduction of this Agreement or of any financing statement related to
         this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing  statement for any of
         the purposes referenced herein.

                  (c) Absolute  Assignment  of Subleases,  Issues,  and Profits.
         Lessee  hereby  irrevocably  assigns to Lessor,  for the benefit of the
         Lessor Parties,  all of Lessee's estate,  right, title and interest in,
         to and under the  Subleases  and the Issues and  Profits,  whether  now
         owned or hereafter acquired.  This is a present and absolute assignment
         for security  purposes,  and Lessor's right to the Subleases and Issues
         and  Profits  is not  contingent  upon,  and may be  exercised  without
         possession of, the Property.

                           (i)  If no  Event  of  Default  has  occurred  and is
                  continuing,  Lessee shall have a revocable  license to collect
                  and retain the Issues and Profits as they become due. Upon the
                  occurrence and during the  continuance of an Event of Default,
                  such license  shall  automatically  terminate,  and Lessor may
                  collect  and  apply  the  Issues  and   Profits   pursuant  to
                  Subparagraph  5.02(d)  without further notice to Lessee or any
                  other party and without taking possession of the Property.

                                       9




                  All Issues and Profits thereafter collected by Lessee shall be
                  held by  Lessee as  trustee  in a  constructive  trust for the
                  benefit of Lessor.  Lessee hereby  irrevocably  authorizes and
                  directs the sublessees  under the Subleases,  without any need
                  on their part to inquire as to whether an Event of Default has
                  actually occurred or is then existing, to rely upon and comply
                  with any notice or demand by Lessor for the  payment to Lessor
                  of any  rental or other  sums  which may  become due under the
                  Subleases  or for the  performance  of any of the  sublessees'
                  undertakings under the Subleases. Collection of any Issues and
                  Profits  by  Lessor  shall not cure or waive  any  default  or
                  notice  of  default  hereunder  or  invalidate  any acts  done
                  pursuant to such notice.

                           (ii) The foregoing  irrevocable  assignment shall not
                  cause any Lessor  Party to be (A) a mortgagee  in  possession;
                  (B)   responsible  or  liable  for  (1)  the  control,   care,
                  management or repair of the Property or for  performing any of
                  Lessee's  obligations or duties under the  Subleases,  (2) any
                  waste committed on the Property by the sublessees under any of
                  the  Subleases or by any other  Persons,  (3) any dangerous or
                  defective condition of the Property,  or (4) any negligence in
                  the  management,  upkeep,  repair or control  of the  Property
                  resulting  in  loss  or  injury  or  death  to any  sublessee,
                  licensee,   employee,   invitee  or  other   Person;   or  (C)
                  responsible  for or impose  upon any Lessor  Party any duty to
                  produce rents or profits.  No Lessor Party,  in the absence of
                  gross  negligence or willful  disregard on its part,  shall be
                  liable to  Lessee  as a  consequence  of (y) the  exercise  or
                  failure to  exercise  any of the  rights,  remedies  or powers
                  granted to Lessor  hereunder  or (z) the failure or refusal of
                  Lessor  to  perform  or  discharge  any  obligation,  duty  or
                  liability of Lessee arising under the Subleases.

                  insurance  pursuant to clause (iii) of  Subparagraph  3.03(a),
                  property insurance covering loss or damage by earthquake in an
                  amount not less than the then  current  probable  maximum loss
                  (as  determined  by a seismic  expert  reasonably  approved by
                  Lessor and Agent and subject to a reasonable deductible of not
                  more  than 15% of the  total  value  at risk and (B)  property
                  insurance  covering  loss or damage  by fire,  flood and other
                  risks (other than  earthquake)  in an amount not less than the
                  Asset Termination Value;

                           (iii) At all times after commencement of construction
                  of any structure,  builders' risk insurance in the full amount
                  of the Asset  Termination  Value, as such may change from time
                  to time,  covering  fire,  flood,  earthquake and other normal
                  insured risks; and

                           (iv) At all  times  during  the Term as  appropriate,
                  such other  insurance  of the types  customarily  carried by a
                  reasonably  prudent  Person  owning  or  operating  properties
                  similar to the  Property  in the same  geographic  area as the
                  Property.

         Except as otherwise  specifically  required above, such insurance shall
         be in amounts,  in a form and with deductibles  reasonably  approved by
         Lessor.

                  (b) Carriers.  Any primary insurance carried and maintained by
         Lessee  pursuant to this  Paragraph  3.03 shall be  underwritten  by an
         insurance  company which (A) has, at the time such  insurance is placed
         and at the time of each renewal thereof, a general  policyholder rating
         of "A" and a financial rating of at least 10 from A.M. Best and Company
         or any successor thereto (or if there is none, an organization having a
         similar national reputation) or (B) is otherwise approved by Lessor and
         Required Participants.

                  (c) Terms. Each insurance policy maintained by Lessee pursuant
         to this  Paragraph  3.03 shall  provide  as  follows,  whether  through
         endorsements or otherwise:

                                       12




                           (i)  Lessor  and Agent  shall be named as  additional
                  insureds,  in the case of each policy of  liability  insurance
                  and property  insurance,  and additional  loss payees,  in the
                  case of each policy of property insurance.

                           (ii) In  respect  of the  interests  of Lessor in the
                  policy,  the insurance  shall not be invalidated by any action
                  or by  inaction  of Lessee or by any Person  having  temporary
                  possession of the Property while under contract with Lessee to
                  perform maintenance, repair, alteration or similar work on the
                  Property,  and shall insure the interests of Lessor regardless
                  of any breach or violation  of any  warranty,  declaration  or
                  condition contained in the insurance policy by Lessee,  Lessor
                  or any other additional insured (other than by such additional
                  insured, as to such additional  insured);  provided,  however,
                  that the  foregoing  shall not be  deemed  to (A)  cause  such
                  insurance  policies to cover matters  otherwise  excluded from
                  coverage  by the terms of such  policies  or (B)  require  any
                  insurance to remain in force  notwithstanding  non-payment  of
                  premiums except as provided in clause (iii) below.

                           (iii) If the  insurance  policy is cancelled  for any
                  reason  whatsoever,  or  substantial  change  is  made  in the
                  coverage  that  affects  the  interests  of Lessor,  or if the
                  insurance  coverage  is  allowed to lapse for  non-payment  of
                  premium,  such  cancellation,  change  or lapse  shall  not be
                  effective  as to Lessor for thirty (30) days after  receipt by
                  Lessor  of  written   notice   from  the   insurers   of  such
                  cancellation, change or lapse.

                           (iv) No Lessor  Party  shall have any  obligation  or
                  liability for premiums, commissions,  assessments, or calls in
                  connection with the insurance.

                           (v) The insurer  shall waive any rights of set-off or
                  counterclaim or any other deduction,  whether by attachment or
                  otherwise, that it may have against any Lessor Party.

                           (vi) The insurance  shall be primary without right of
                  contribution  from any other  insurance that may be carried by
                  any Lessor Party with respect to its interest in the Property.

                           (vii)   The   insurer   shall   waive  any  right  of
                  subrogation against any Lessor Party.

                           (viii) All  provisions of the  insurance,  except the
                  limits of  liability,  shall  operate in the same manner as if
                  there were a separate policy covering each insured party.

                           (ix) The insurance  shall not be  invalidated  should
                  Lessee or any Lessor Party waive, in writing, prior to a loss,
                  any or all rights of  recovery  against  any Person for losses
                  covered by such  policy,  nor shall the  insurance in favor of
                  any  Lessor  Party or  Lessee,  as the  case may be,  or their
                  respective  rights  under and  interests  in said  policies be
                  invalidated or reduced by any act or omission or

                                       13




                  negligence of any Lessee Party or Lessor,  as the case may be,
                  or any other Person having any interest in the Property.

                           (x) All insurance  proceeds with a value of less than
                  Five Million  Dollars  ($5,000,000)  in respect of any loss or
                  occurrence  with respect to the Property  shall be paid to and
                  adjusted  solely by Lessee  and all other  insurance  proceeds
                  shall be paid to Lessor  and  adjusted  jointly  by Lessor and
                  Lessee,  except  that,  from and  after  the date on which the
                  insurer  receives  written notice from Lessor that an Event of
                  Default has occurred and is  continuing  (and unless and until
                  such  insurer  receives  written  notice  from Lessor that all
                  Events  of  Default  have been  cured),  all  losses  shall be
                  adjusted  solely by, and all insurance  proceeds shall be paid
                  solely to, Lessor.

                           (xi)  Each  policy  shall  contain  a  standard  form
                  mortgagee endorsement in favor of Lessor.

                  (d)  Evidence  of  Insurance.  Lessee,  at its  sole  cost and
         expense,  shall  furnish  to  Lessor  from  time to time (i) upon  each
         renewal of  insurance  and upon any material  change in terms  thereof,
         certificates  evidencing such renewal or change and Lessee's compliance
         with the insurance  requirements  set forth in the Paragraph  3.03, and
         (ii) upon the  request of  Lessor,  such  other  certificates  or other
         documents  as  Lessor  may  reasonably  request  to  evidence  Lessee's
         compliance with the insurance  requirements set forth in this Paragraph
         3.03.

                  (e) Release of Lessor Parties.  Lessee hereby waives, releases
         and  discharges   each  Lessor  Party  and  its  directors,   officers,
         employees,  agents and advisors from all claims whatsoever  arising out
         of any loss,  claim,  expense  or damage to or  destruction  covered or
         coverable   by   insurance   required   under  this   Paragraph   3.03,
         notwithstanding  that such loss, claim, expense or damage may have been
         caused by any such  Person,  and,  as among  Lessee  and such  Persons,
         Lessee  agrees to look to the  insurance  coverage only in the event of
         such loss.

         3.04. Casualty and Condemnation.

                  (a) Notice.  Lessee shall give Lessor prompt written notice of
         the occurrence of any Material Casualty  affecting,  or the institution
         of any proceedings for the Condemnation of, the Property or any portion
         thereof.

                  (b) Repair or Purchase  Option.  After the  occurrence  of any
         Material Casualty or Condemnation affecting the Property or any portion
         thereof,  Lessee  shall  either (i) repair and restore the  Property as
         required by  Subparagraph  3.04(c) or (ii)  exercise the Term  Purchase
         Option and purchase the  Property  pursuant to the Purchase  Agreement;
         provided,  however, that Lessee may not elect to repair and restore the
         Property if such casualty or  condemnation is a Major Casualty or Major
         Condemnation  or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
         unless Lessor and the Required  Participants  shall consent in writing.
         Not later  than  forty-five  (45)  days  after  the  occurrence  of any

                                       14




         Material  Casualty or  Condemnation,  Lessee shall  deliver to Lessor a
         written  notice  indicating  whether it elects to repair and restore or
         purchase the Property.

                  (c) Repair  and  Restoration.  If Lessee  elects to repair and
         restore the Property  following any Material  Casualty or Condemnation,
         Lessee shall diligently  proceed to obtain all necessary permits and to
         repair and restore the  Property to the  condition  in which it existed
         immediately  prior to such Material  Casualty or Condemnation and shall
         use reasonable  efforts to complete all such repairs and restoration as
         soon as reasonably  practicable,  but not later than the earlier of (y)
         twelve (12) months following the occurrence of the Material Casualty or
         Condemnation  and (z) six (6) months prior to the Scheduled  Expiration
         Date unless  Lessee  currently is  exercising  either the Term Purchase
         Option or the Expiration Date Purchase Option. Lessee shall use its own
         funds to make such  repairs and  restoration,  except to the extent any
         Casualty and  Condemnation  Proceeds are  available and are released to
         Lessee for such  purpose  pursuant to  Subparagraph  3.04(f).  Lessee's
         exercise  of the  repair and  restoration  option  shall,  if Lessor or
         Required  Participants  direct,  be  subject  to  satisfaction  of  the
         following conditions:

                           (i) Within two (2) months after the occurrence of the
                  Material  Casualty or Condemnation,  Lessee shall deposit in a
                  deposit  account  acceptable  to and  controlled  by Lessor (a
                  "Repair and  Restoration  Account")  of funds  (including  any
                  Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds which are available and are
                  released to Lessee  pursuant to  Subparagraph  3.04(f)) in the
                  amount which Lessor determines is needed to complete and fully
                  pay all costs of the repair or restoration  (including  taxes,
                  financing  charges,  insurance  and  rent  during  the  repair
                  period).

                           (ii)  As  soon  as  reasonably   possible  after  the
                  occurrence of the Material  Casualty or  Condemnation,  Lessee
                  shall   establish  an   arrangement   for  lien  releases  and
                  disbursement of funds acceptable to Lessor and in a manner and
                  upon  such  terms and  conditions  as would be  required  by a
                  prudent interim construction lender.

                           (iii)  As  soon  as  reasonably  possible  after  the
                  occurrence of the Material  Casualty or  Condemnation,  Lessee
                  shall  deliver  to  Lessor  the  following,  each in form  and
                  substance acceptable to Lessor;

                                    (A)  Evidence  that  the  Property  can,  in
                           Lessor's   reasonable    judgment,    with   diligent
                           restoration or repair,  be returned to a condition at
                           least equal to the  condition  thereof  that  existed
                           prior to the Casualty or partial Condemnation causing
                           the loss or damage within the earlier to occur of (A)
                           twelve  (12)  months  after  the  occurrence  of  the
                           Casualty  or  Condemnation   and  (B)  unless  Lessee
                           currently  is  exercising  either  the Term  Purchase
                           Option or the Expiration  Date Purchase  Option,  six
                           (6) months prior to the Scheduled Expiration Date;

                                       15




                                    (B) Evidence that all necessary governmental
                           approvals  can  be  timely   obtained  to  allow  the
                           rebuilding and reoccupancy of the Property;

                                    (C)  Copies of all plans and  specifications
                           for the work;

                                    (D)  Copies of all  contracts  for the work,
                           signed  by  a  contractor  reasonably  acceptable  to
                           Lessor;

                                    (E) A cost breakdown for the work;

                                    (F) A payment and  performance  bond for the
                           work or other security satisfactory to Lessor;

                                    (G) Evidence  that,  upon  completion of the
                           work,  the  size,  capacity  and  total  value of the
                           Property  will be at least as great as it was  before
                           the Casualty or Condemnation occurred; and

                                    (H)   Evidence   of   satisfaction   of  any
                           additional   conditions   that   Lessor  or  Required
                           Participants  may  reasonably  establish  to  protect
                           their  rights  under  this  Agreement  and the  other
                           Operative Documents.

                  All plans and  specifications  for the work must be reasonably
                  acceptable to Lessor,  except that Lessor's approval shall not
                  be required if the restoration work is based on the same plans
                  and  specifications  as were  originally used to construct the
                  Property.  To the  extent  that  the  funds  in a  Repair  and
                  Restoration  Account  include both  Casualty and  Condemnation
                  Proceeds and other funds deposited by Lessee,  the other funds
                  deposited by Lessee shall be used first.  Lessee  acknowledges
                  that the specific conditions described above are reasonable.

                  (d)  Prosecution  of  Claims  for  Casualty  and  Condemnation
         Proceeds.  Lessee shall proceed promptly and diligently to prosecute in
         good  faith the  settlement  or  compromise  of any and all  claims for
         Casualty  and  Condemnation  Proceeds;   provided,  however,  that  any
         settlement or  compromise of any such claim shall,  except as otherwise
         provided  in clause  (x) of  Subparagraph  3.03(c),  be  subject to the
         written  consent of Lessor and Required  Participants,  which  consents
         shall not be  unreasonably  withheld.  Lessor  may  participate  in any
         proceedings  relating to such claims,  and,  after the  occurrence  and
         during  the  continuance  of any  Event of  Default,  Lessor  is hereby
         authorized,  in its own name or in  Lessee's  name,  to adjust any loss
         covered by insurance or any Casualty or Condemnation  claim or cause of
         action,  and to  settle or  compromise  any claim or cause of action in
         connection  therewith,  and Lessee  shall from time to time  deliver to
         Lessor any and all further  assignments and other instruments  required
         to permit such participation.

                  (e) Assignment of Casualty and Condemnation  Proceeds.  Lessee
         hereby  absolutely and  irrevocably  assigns to Lessor all Casualty and
         Condemnation  Proceeds  and all  claims  relating  thereto.  Except  as
         otherwise provided in clause (x) of Subparagraph 3.03(c), Lessee agrees
         that all  Casualty and  Condemnation  Proceeds are to be paid to Lessor
         and Lessee  hereby  authorizes  and directs any  insurer,  Governmental

                                       16




         Authority  or other  Person  responsible  for paying any  Casualty  and
         Condemnation Proceeds to make payment thereof directly to Lessor alone,
         and not to Lessor and Lessee  jointly.  If Lessee receives any Casualty
         and  Condemnation  Proceeds payable to Lessor  hereunder,  Lessee shall
         promptly pay over such  Casualty and  Condemnation  Proceeds to Lessor.
         Lessee  hereby  covenants  that until such  Casualty  and  Condemnation
         Proceeds are so paid over to Lessor,  Lessee  shall hold such  Casualty
         and Condemnation  Proceeds in trust for the benefit of Lessor and shall
         not commingle  such Casualty and  Condemnation  Proceeds with any other
         funds or assets of Lessee  or any  other  Person.  Except as  otherwise
         provided in clause (x) of  Subparagraph  3.03(c),  Lessor may commence,
         appear in, defend or prosecute any assigned right, claim or action, and
         may adjust,  compromise,  settle and  collect  all  rights,  claims and
         actions  assigned  to  Lessor,  but  shall not be  responsible  for any
         failure to collect any such right,  claim or action,  regardless of the
         cause of the failure.

                  (f) Use of Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds.

                           (i) If (A) no Event of Default  has  occurred  and is
                  continuing,  (B) Lessee  exercises the repair and  restoration
                  option pursuant to  Subparagraphs  3.04(b) and 3.04(c) and (C)
                  Lessee  complies  with  any  conditions  imposed  pursuant  to
                  Subparagraph  3.04(c);  then Lessor shall release any Casualty
                  and Condemnation  Proceeds to Lessee for repair or restoration
                  of the Property, but may condition such release and use of the
                  Casualty  and  Condemnation   Proceeds  upon  deposit  of  the
                  Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds in a Repair and Restoration
                  Account.  Lessee shall have the option, upon the completion of
                  such  restoration  of  the  Property,  to  apply  any  surplus
                  Casualty  and  Condemnation   Proceeds   remaining  after  the
                  completion of such  restoration  to the payment of Rent and/or
                  the reduction of the Outstanding Lease Amount, notwithstanding
                  that such  amounts  are not then due and  payable or that such
                  amounts are otherwise adequately secured.

                           (ii) If (A) an Event of Default has  occurred  and is
                  continuing,  (B) Lessee  fails to or is unable to comply  with
                  any conditions imposed pursuant to Subparagraph 3.04(c) or (C)
                  Lessee  elects  to  exercise  the  Term  Purchase  Option  and
                  purchase  the  Property  pursuant to the  Purchase  Agreement;
                  then,  at the absolute  discretion  of Lessor and the Required
                  Participants, regardless of any impairment of security or lack
                  of   impairment   of  security,   but  subject  to  applicable
                  Governmental  Rules governing use of Casualty and Condemnation
                  Proceeds,  if  any,  Lessor  may (1)  apply  all or any of the
                  Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds it receives to the expenses
                  of Lessor Parties in obtaining  such  proceeds;  (2) apply the
                  balance to the  payment of Rent  and/or the  reduction  of the
                  Outstanding  Lease Amount,  notwithstanding  that such amounts
                  are  not  then  due  and  payable  or that  such  amounts  are
                  otherwise  adequately  secured  and/or (3)  release all or any
                  part of such proceeds to Lessee upon any conditions Lessor and
                  the Required Participants may elect.

                                       17




                           (iii)   Lessor   shall   apply   any   Casualty   and
                  Condemnation  Proceeds  which  are to be  used to  reduce  the
                  Outstanding  Lease  Amount  only on the  last  day of a Rental
                  Period unless a Default has occurred and is continuing.

                           (iv)  Application  of  all  or  any  portion  of  the
                  Casualty and Condemnation  Proceeds, or the release thereof to
                  Lessee,  shall  not cure or waive  any  Default  or  notice of
                  default or invalidate any acts done pursuant to such notice.

         3.05. Taxes.  Subject to Paragraph 3.12 relating to permitted contests,
Lessee shall promptly pay when due all  Indemnified  Taxes imposed on or payable
by Lessee or any Lessor Party in connection with the Property, this Agreement or
any of the other Operative  Documents,  or any of the transactions  contemplated
hereby or  thereby.  As promptly as  possible  after any  Indemnified  Taxes are
payable by Lessee, Lessee shall send to Lessor for the account of the applicable
Lessor Party a copy of an original  official  receipt received by Lessee showing
payment thereof.  If Lessee fails to pay any such Indemnified  Taxes when due to
the  appropriate  taxing  authority  or fails to remit to  Lessor  the  required
receipts or other  required  documentary  evidence,  Lessee shall  indemnify the
Lessor Parties for any incremental taxes,  interest or penalties that may become
payable by the Lessor Parties as a result of any such failure.  The  obligations
of Lessee under this Paragraph 3.05 shall survive the payment and performance of
the Lessee Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

         3.06. Environmental Matters.

                  (a)  Lessee's  Covenants.  Lessee  shall  not  cause or permit
         Hazardous  Materials  to  be  used,  generated,  manufactured,  stored,
         treated,  disposed  of,  transported  or  present  on  or  released  or
         discharged from the Property in violation of Environmental Laws that is
         reasonably  likely to have a Material  Adverse  Effect.  Lessee may use
         Hazardous  Materials in  connection  with the operation of its business
         (or the  business  of  permitted  subtenants)  so  long as such  use is
         consistent  with  the  preceding  sentence.  Other  than as  previously
         disclosed to Lessor  under the  Participation  Agreement,  Lessee shall
         immediately  notify  Lessor in writing of (i) any  knowledge  by Lessee
         that the Property does not comply with any Environmental Laws; (ii) any
         claims against Lessee or the Property  relating to Hazardous  Materials
         or pursuant  to  Environmental  Laws;  and (iii) the  discovery  of any
         occurrence  or  condition  on any  real  property  adjoining  or in the
         vicinity  of the  Property  that could  cause the  Property or any part
         thereof  to be  designated  as a  "hazardous  waste  property"  or as a
         "border zone property"  under the  provisions of California  Health and
         Safety  Code  Sections  25220  et seq.  or any  regulation  adopted  in
         accordance  therewith.  In response to the release or  discharge of any
         Hazardous  Materials  on,  under or about the  Property,  Lessee  shall
         immediately  take,  at  Lessee's  sole  expense,  all  remedial  action
         required by any  Environmental  Laws or any judgment,  consent  decree,
         settlement or compromise in respect to any claim based thereon.

                  (b)  Inspection  By Lessor.  Upon  reasonable  prior notice to
         Lessee,  Lessor,  its  employees  and  agents,  may  from  time to time
         (whether before or after the  commencement of a nonjudicial or judicial
         foreclosure proceeding), enter and inspect the Property for the purpose
         of  determining  the existence,  location,  nature and magnitude of

                                       18




         any past or present  release  or  threatened  release of any  Hazardous
         Materials into, onto,  beneath or from the Property,  provided that any
         such Person so entering  and  inspecting  the  Property  shall do so in
         compliance with the PG&E Agreements and without  materially  disrupting
         the operations of Lessee.

                  (c) Indemnity. Without in any way limiting any other indemnity
         contained in this  Agreement or any other  Operative  Document,  Lessee
         agrees to defend,  indemnify and hold  harmless the Lessor  Parties and
         the other Indemnitees from and against any claim, loss,  damage,  cost,
         expense or liability directly or indirectly arising out of (i) the use,
         generation,   manufacture,   storage,  treatment,  release,  threatened
         release,  discharge,  disposal,   transportation  or  presence  of  any
         Hazardous Materials which are found in, on, under or about the Property
         or (ii) the  breach of any  covenant,  representation  or  warranty  of
         Lessee relating to Hazardous  Materials or Environmental Laws contained
         in this  Agreement or any Operative  Document,  excluding any breach of
         the PG&E Agreements by Lessor while Lessor is in physical possession of
         the Property after an Event of Default.  This  indemnity  shall include
         (A)  the  costs,   whether   foreseeable  or   unforeseeable,   of  any
         investigation,  repair, cleanup or detoxification of the Property which
         is required by any Governmental  Authority or is otherwise necessary to
         render the Property in compliance with all Environmental  Laws; (B) all
         other direct or indirect  consequential  damages  (including  any third
         party claims,  claims by any  Governmental  Authority,  or any fines or
         penalties  against  the  Indemnitees;  and  (C)  all  court  costs  and
         attorneys'  fees  (including  expert  witness  fees and the cost of any
         consultants)  paid or incurred  by the  Indemnitees.  Lessee  shall pay
         immediately   upon  Lessor's   demand  any  amounts  owing  under  this
         indemnity.  Lessee shall use legal  counsel  reasonably  acceptable  to
         Lessor in any action or proceeding  arising under this  indemnity.  The
         obligations of Lessee under this Subparagraph 3.06(c) shall survive the
         payment and  performance of the Lessee  Obligations and the termination
         of this Agreement.

                  (d) PG&E Agreements. Lessee shall take all necessary action to
         comply  to the  fullest  extent  possible  with  all of the  terms  and
         conditions of the PG&E Agreements.  Lessor agrees that it will not take
         any  affirmative  action  which  would  constitute  a  breach  the PG&E
         Agreements,  provided that for purposes of this covenant, any action by
         Lessee under the PG&E  Agreements  shall not be deemed to be the action
         of Lessor.

                   (e) Legal Effect of Section. Lessee and Lessor agree that (i)
         this  Paragraph  3.06 and  clause  (i) of  Subparagraph  4.01(u) of the
         Participation  Agreement are intended as Lessor's  written  request for
         information  (and  Lessee's  response)   concerning  the  environmental
         condition of the real property  security as required by California Code
         of Civil  Procedure  Section  726.5  and (ii) each  representation  and
         warranty and covenant  herein and therein  (together with any indemnity
         applicable to a breach of any such  representation  and warranty)  with
         respect to the  environmental  condition of the Property is intended by
         Lessor and Lessee to be an  "environmental  provision"  for purposes of
         California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736.

         3.07. Liens, Easements, Etc.

                                       19




                  (a) Lessee's Covenants.  Subject to Paragraph 3.12 relating to
         permitted contests, Lessee shall not create, incur, assume or permit to
         exist any Lien or easement on or with respect to any of the Property of
         any character,  whether now owned or hereafter acquired, except for the
         following ("Permitted Property Liens"):

                           (i)  Liens in favor of a Lessor  Party  securing  the
                  Lessee Obligations and other Lessor Liens;

                           (ii)  Liens  and   easements   in  existence  on  the
                  Commencement  Date  to  the  extent  reflected  in  the  title
                  insurance  policies  delivered to Agent  pursuant to Paragraph
                  3.01 of and Schedule 3.01 to the  Participation  Agreement and
                  approved by Lessor;

                           (iii) Liens for taxes or other  Governmental  Charges
                  not at the  time  delinquent  or  thereafter  payable  without
                  penalty; and

                           (iv)  Liens  of  carriers,  warehousemen,  mechanics,
                  materialmen and vendors and other similar Liens imposed by law
                  incurred  in the  ordinary  course  of  business  for sums not
                  overdue.

         Subject to Paragraph 3.12 relating to permitted contests,  Lessee shall
         promptly (A) pay all Indebtedness of Lessee and other obligations prior
         to the time the  non-payment  thereof  would give rise to a Lien on the
         Property and (B) discharge,  at its sole cost and expense,  any Lien on
         the Property which is not a Permitted Property Lien.

                  (b) No Consents.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be
         construed as  constituting  the consent or request of any Lessor Party,
         express  or  implied,  to or for  the  performance  by any  contractor,
         mechanic,  laborer,  materialman,  supplier  or  vendor of any labor or
         services or for the  furnishing of any materials for any  construction,
         alteration, addition, repair or demolition of or to the Property or any
         part  thereof.  NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT NO LESSOR PARTY IS OR SHALL
         BE LIABLE FOR ANY  LABOR,  SERVICES  OR  MATERIALS  FURNISHED  OR TO BE
         FURNISHED  TO LESSEE,  OR TO ANYONE  HOLDING  THE  PROPERTY OR ANY PART
         THEREOF THROUGH OR UNDER LESSEE,  AND THAT NO MECHANIC'S OR OTHER LIENS
         FOR ANY SUCH LABOR, SERVICES OR MATERIALS SHALL ATTACH TO OR AFFECT THE
         INTEREST OF ANY LESSOR PARTY IN AND TO THE PROPERTY.

         3.08.  Subletting.  Lessee may,  in the  ordinary  course of  business,
sublease the Property or any portion thereof to any Person,  provided,  that (a)
Lessee remains  directly and primarily  liable for  performing  its  obligations
under this  Agreement  and all other Lessee  Obligations;  (b) each  sublease is
subject to and  subordinated  to this  Agreement;  (c) each  sublease has a term
which  expires  on or prior to the  Scheduled  Expiration  Date (or,  if longer,
includes a provision that the sublease terminates on the Expiration Date if such
Expiration  Date occurs prior to the  Scheduled  Expiration  Date unless  Lessee
purchases  the  Property  on  the  Expiration  Date  pursuant  to  the  Purchase
Agreement);  (d) each  sublease  prohibits  the  sublessee  from engaging in any
activities  on the  Property  other  than those  permitted  by  Paragraph  2.04,
provided  that  Lessee

                                       20




may  sublease  the  Tract 2  Property  to a Person  which  occupies  the Tract 2
Property as of the date hereof and such Person may engage in  activities on such
Property in which it is engaged on the date  hereof;  and (e) no sublease  has a
Material  Adverse  Effect.  Any  sublease  which  does not  satisfy  each of the
requirements of the immediately  preceding sentence shall be null and void as to
the Lessor  Parties and their  successor and assigns.  Except for such permitted
subleases,  Lessee  shall not assign any of its rights or  interests  under this
Agreement to any other Person.

         3.09.  Utility  Charges.  Lessee shall pay all charges for electricity,
power,  gas,  oil,  water,  telephone,  sanitary  sewer  service  and all  other
utilities  and services  to, on or in  connection  with the Property  during the
Term.

         3.10.  Removal of Property.  Lessee  shall not remove any  Improvements
from the Land or any other Property from the Land or Improvements,  except that,
during  the Term,  Lessee  may remove  any  Modification  or any trade  fixture,
machinery,  equipment, inventory or other personal property if such Modification
or  property  (a) was not  financed by an  Advance,  (b) is not  required by any
applicable  Governmental  Rule  or  Insurance  Requirement  and  (c) is  readily
removable without  impairing the value,  utility or remaining useful life of the
Property.

         3.11.  Compliance with Governmental  Rules and Insurance  Requirements.
Lessee,  at its  sole  cost  and  expense,  shall,  unless  its  failure  is not
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect,  (a) comply,  and cause its
agents, sublessees,  assignees, employees, invitees, licensees,  contractors and
tenants,  and the Property to comply,  with all Governmental  Rules  (including,
without limitation,  Waste Discharge  Requirements order No. 85-80 (Ca. Regional
Water Quality Control Board, San Francisco  Region) and Consent Order Docket No.
HAS 89/90-002 (Ca.  Department of Toxic Substances  Control),  including all the
attached and ancillary documents thereto) and Insurance Requirements relating to
the Property (including the construction,  use, operation,  maintenance,  repair
and  restoration  thereof,  whether or not  compliance  therewith  shall require
structural or  extraordinary  changes in the  Improvements or interfere with the
use and enjoyment of the  Property),  and (b) procure,  maintain and comply with
all licenses,  permits,  orders,  approvals,  consents and other  authorizations
required for the  construction,  use,  maintenance and operation of the Property
and  for  the  use,  operation,  maintenance,  repair  and  restoration  of  the
Improvements.


         3.12.  Permitted  Contests.  Lessee, at its sole cost and expense,  may
contest  any  alleged  Lien or  easement  on any of the  Property or any alleged
Governmental Charge, Indebtedness or other obligation which is payable by Lessee
hereunder to Persons other than the Lessor  Parties or which,  if unpaid,  would
give rise to a Lien on any of the Property,  provided that (a) each such contest
is  diligently  pursued  in  good  faith  by  appropriate  proceedings;  (b) the
commencement and  continuation of such  proceedings  suspends the enforcement of
such  Lien  or  easement  or  the  collection  of  such   Governmental   Charge,
Indebtedness or obligation; (c) Lessee has established adequate reserves for the
discharge of such Lien or easement or the payment of such  Governmental  Charge,
Indebtedness  or  obligation  in  accordance  with GAAP and,  if the  failure to
discharge such Lien or easement or the failure to pay such Governmental  Charge,
Indebtedness  or obligation  might result in any civil  liability for any Lessor
Party,  Lessee  has  provided  to such  Lessor  Party a bond or  other  security
satisfactory  to such Lessor  Party;  (d) the failure to discharge  such Lien or
easement  or the  failure  to pay  such  Governmental  Charge,  Indebtedness

                                       21




or obligation  could not result in any criminal  liability for any Lessor Party;
(e) the  failure to  discharge  such Lien or easement or the failure to pay such
Governmental  Charge,  Indebtedness  or obligation  is not otherwise  reasonably
likely to have a Material  Adverse  Effect;  and (f) unless Lessee  currently is
exercising  either the Term  Purchase  Option or the  Expiration  Date  Purchase
Option,  any such contest is completed  and such Lien or easement is  discharged
(either pursuant to such proceedings or otherwise) or such Governmental  Charge,
Indebtedness or obligation is declared invalid,  paid or otherwise satisfied not
later than six (6) months prior to the Scheduled Expiration Date.

         3.13.  Lessor  Obligations;  Right to Perform  Lessee  Obligations.  No
Lessor  Party  shall have any  obligation  to (a)  maintain,  repair or make any
improvements  to the Property,  (b) maintain any insurance on the Property,  (c)
perform any other  obligation of Lessee under this Agreement or any other Lessee
Obligation,  (d) make any expenditure on account of the Property (except to make
Advances  as  required  by the  Participation  Agreement)  or (e) take any other
action in connection  with the Property,  this Agreement or any other  Operative
Document,  except as expressly provided herein or in another Operative Document;
provided  however,  that  Lessor  may,  in its sole  discretion  and without any
obligation to do so, perform any Lessee  Obligation not performed by Lessee when
required.  Lessor may enter the  Property or exercise  any other right of Lessee
under this  Agreement  or any other  Operative  Document  to the  extent  Lessor
determines in good faith that such entry or exercise is reasonably necessary for
Lessor to perform  any such  Lessee  Obligation  not  performed  by Lessee  when
required.  Lessee shall reimburse  Lessor and the other Lessor  Parties,  within
five (5) Business Days after demand,  for all fees, costs and expenses  incurred
by them in performing any such obligation or curing any Default.

         3.14.  Inspection  Rights.  During the Term,  Lessee  shall  permit any
Person  designated by Lessor,  upon reasonable notice and during normal business
hours, to visit and inspect any of the Property.

SECTION 4.        EXPIRATION DATE.

         4.01. Termination by Lessee Prior to Scheduled Expiration Date. Subject
to the terms and conditions of the Purchase  Agreement,  Lessee may, at any time
prior to the Scheduled  Expiration  Date,  terminate this Agreement and purchase
the  Property  pursuant to Section 2 of the  Purchase  Agreement.  Lessee  shall
notify Lessor of Lessee's  election so to terminate  this Agreement and purchase
the Property by delivering to Agent a Notice of Term  Purchase  Option  Exercise
pursuant to and in  accordance  with the  provisions  of  Paragraph  2.02 of the
Purchase Agreement.

         4.02.  Surrender of Property.  Unless Lessee  purchases the Property on
the Expiration Date pursuant to the Purchase Agreement,  Lessee shall vacate and
surrender  the  Property to Lessor on the  Expiration  Date in its  then-current
condition,  subject  to  compliance  by  Lessee  on or prior to such date of its
obligations  under this Agreement and the other Operative  Documents  (including
the completion of the New Improvements and all Modifications,  the completion of
all  permitted  contests  and the removal of all Liens  which are not  Permitted
Property  Liens of the types  described  in clauses  (i),  (ii) (iii) or (vi) of
Subparagraph 3.07(a)).

                                       22




         4.03.  Holding  Over.  If Lessee does not  purchase the Property on the
Expiration  Date pursuant to the Purchase  Agreement but continues in possession
of any portion of the Property after the Expiration Date,  Lessee shall pay rent
for each day it so continues in possession,  payable upon demand of Lessor, at a
per annum rate equal to the  Alternate  Rental Rate plus two percent  (2.0%) and
shall pay and perform all of its other Lessee  Obligations  under this Agreement
and the other Operative  Documents in the same manner as though the Term had not
ended;  provided,  however, that this Paragraph 4.03 shall not be interpreted to
permit  such  holding  over or to limit any  right or remedy of Lessor  for such
holding over.

SECTION 5.        DEFAULT.

         5.01. Events of Default. The occurrence or existence of any one or more
of the following shall constitute an "Event of Default" hereunder:

                  (a)  Non-Payment.   Lessee  shall  (i)  fail  to  pay  on  the
         Expiration  Date any amount  payable by Lessee under this  Agreement or
         any other Operative Document on such date, (ii) fail to pay within five
         (5) Business Days after any  Scheduled  Rent Payment Date any Base Rent
         payable on such  Scheduled  Rent Payment Date (other than the Base Rent
         payable  on the  Expiration  Date) or (iii) fail to pay within ten (10)
         Business  Days after the same  becomes due,  any  Supplemental  Rent or

         Expiration Date or Base Rent); or

                  (b) Specific Defaults. Lessee or any of its Subsidiaries shall
         fail to observe or  perform  any  covenant,  obligation,  condition  or
         agreement  set  forth  in  Subparagraph  3.01(d),   Paragraph  3.03  or
         Subparagraph 3.07(a) hereof, in Subparagraph 2.01(c), Paragraph 5.02 or

         and such failure shall  continue for a period of thirty (30) days after
         written  notice  thereof from Lessor;  provided,  however,  that in the
         event that such failure  cannot  reasonably be cured within such thirty
         (30) day period,  such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default
         hereunder so long as Lessee  shall have  commenced to cure such failure
         within  such  thirty  (30) day period and shall  thereafter  diligently
         pursue such cure to  completion,  provided  further  that such  failure
         shall in all events be cured by the earlier of (i) the Expiration  Date
         and (ii) one hundred and eighty days (180) days after  Lessor's  notice
         thereof; or

         Subsidiaries  to  any  Lessor  Party  in or  in  connection  with  this
         Agreement or any other Operative  Document,  or as an inducement to any
         Lessor  Party to enter  into  this  Agreement  or any  other  Operative

         representation,  warranty,  certificate or other statement to be false,
         incorrect,  incomplete or misleading  within thirty (30) days of notice
         thereof from Lessor; or

                   (e)  Cross-Default.  Lessee  or any of its  Subsidiaries  (i)
         shall fail to make any payment when due on account of any  Indebtedness
         or  Contingent   Obligation  of  such  Person   (excluding  the  Lessee
         Obligations  but  including  all  other   Indebtedness  and  Contingent
         Obligations of Lessee or any of its  Subsidiaries  to any Lessor Party)
         and such failure  shall  continue  beyond any period of grace  provided
         with respect thereto,  if the amount of such payment exceeds $5,000,000

         holders thereof to cause, Indebtedness and/or Contingent Obligations in
         an aggregate  amount  exceeding  $5,000,000 to become due or (ii) shall
         default in the observance or performance of any other  agreement,  term
         or condition  contained in any agreement or instrument  evidencing such
         Indebtedness or Contingent Obligation, if the effect of such default is
         to  cause,   or  permit  the  holder  or  holders   thereof  to  cause,
         Indebtedness  and/or  Contingent  Obligations  in an  aggregate  amount
         exceeding $5,000,000 to become due; or

                  (f) Insolvency,  Voluntary  Proceedings.  Lessee or any of its
         Subsidiaries  shall (i) apply for or  consent to the  appointment  of a

         satisfying the requirements set forth in Subparagraph 5.01(d)) shall be
         rendered  against Lessee or any of its  Subsidiaries and the same shall
         remain  undischarged  for a period  of sixty  (60)  days  during  which
         execution shall not be effectively  stayed or (ii) any judgment,  writ,

         material  term  thereof  shall cease to be, or be asserted by Lessee or
         any of  its  Subsidiaries  not  to  be,  a  legal,  valid  and  binding
         obligation  of  Lessee  or  any  of  its  Subsidiaries  enforceable  in
         accordance with its terms; or

         the  termination  of any  Employee  Benefit Plan by the PBGC or for the
         appointment of a trustee by the PBGC to administer any Employee Benefit
         Plan shall  occur,  or any Employee  Benefit  Plan shall be  terminated

                  (k) Change of Control. Any Change of Control shall occur; or

         Major Condemnation affecting the Property shall occur; or

                  (m) Material  Adverse  Effect.  Any  event(s) or  condition(s)
         which has a Material Adverse Effect shall occur or exist.

         5.02. General Remedies.  In all cases, upon the occurrence or existence
of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter  unless such Event of Default
is waived, Lessor may, with the consent of the Required Participants,  or shall,
upon  instructions from the Required  Participants,  exercise any one or more of
the following rights and remedies (except that the remedy set forth in the first
sentence of Subparagraph 5.02(a) shall be automatic):

                  (a) Termination of Commitments. If such Event of Default is an
         Event of  Default  of the type  described  in  Subparagraph  5.01(f) or
         Subparagraph  5.01(g) affecting Lessee,  immediately and without notice
         the  obligation of Lessor to make Advances and the  obligations  of the
         Participants to fund Advances shall  automatically  terminate.  If such
         Event of Default is any other Event of  Default,  Lessor may by written
         notice to Lessee,  terminate the  obligation of Lessor to make Advances
         and the obligations of the Participants to fund Advances.

                  (b)  Appointment of a Receiver.  Lessor may apply to any court
         of competent  jurisdiction  for, and obtain  appointment of, a receiver
         for the Property.

                  (c)  Specific  Performance.  Lessor may bring an action in any
         court of competent  jurisdiction to obtain specific  enforcement of any
         of the covenants or  agreements  of Lessee in this  Agreement or any of
         the other Operative Documents.

                  (d)  Collection  of Issues and  Profits.  Lessor  may  collect
         Issues and Profits as provided  in  Subparagraph  2.07(c) and apply the
         proceeds to pay Lessee Obligations.

                                       25




                  (e) Protection of Property.  Lessor may enter, take possession
         of,  manage and  operate  all or any part of the  Property  or take any
         other actions which it reasonably  determines  are necessary to protect
         the Property and the rights and  remedies of the Lessor  Parties  under
         this Agreement and the other Operative Documents,  including (i) taking
         and  possessing  all of  Lessee's  books and  records  relating  to the
         Property;  (ii)  entering  into,  enforcing,  modifying,  or  canceling
         subleases on such terms and  conditions as Lessor may consider  proper;
         (iii) obtaining and evicting tenants; (iv) fixing or modifying sublease
         rents;  (v)  collecting  and  receiving  any  payment of money owing to
         Lessee;  (vi)  completing  any  unfinished  Improvements;  and/or (vii)
         contracting for and making repairs and alterations.

                  (f)  Termination  of Agency.  Lessor may  terminate all or any
         portion of the authority of Lessee,  as agent,  under the  Construction
         Agency Agreement.

                  (g) Other  Rights and  Remedies.  In addition to the  specific
         rights  and  remedies  set forth  above in this  Paragraph  5.02 and in
         Paragraph 5.03 and Paragraph 5.04, Lessor may exercise any other right,
         power or remedy  permitted to it by any applicable  Governmental  Rule,
         either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both.

         5.03.  Lease Remedies.  If the transaction  evidenced by this Agreement
and the other Operative  Documents is treated as a lease, upon the occurrence or
existence of any Event of Default and at any time  thereafter  unless such Event
of Default is waived, Lessor may, with the consent of the Required Participants,
or shall, upon instructions from the Required Participants,  exercise any one or
more of the  following  rights and  remedies  in  addition  to those  rights and
remedies set forth in Paragraph 5.02:

                  (a)  Termination  of Lease.  Lessor may, by written  notice to
         Lessee,  terminate this Agreement on a Termination  Date which is prior
         to the Scheduled  Expiration Date,  subject to Subparagraph  3.02(1) of
         the Purchase Agreement.  Such Termination Date shall be the last day of
         a Rental Period unless Required Participants shall otherwise direct. On
         such Termination Date (which shall then be the Expiration Date), Lessee
         shall  pay  all  unpaid  Base  Rent  accrued  through  such  date,  all
         Supplemental  Rent due and  payable  on or  prior to such  date and all
         other amounts payable by Lessee on the Expiration Date pursuant to this
         Agreement and the other Operative  Documents.  Lessee also shall pay to
         Lessor,  in addition to all accrued Base Rent, the worth at the time of
         such  payment of the amount by which the unpaid  Base Rent  through the
         Scheduled  Expiration  Date  exceeds the amount of such rental loss for
         the same period that Lessee proves could reasonably be avoided.

                  (b) Continuation of Lease.  Lessor may exercise the rights and
         remedies  provided by California  Civil Code Section 1951.4,  including
         the right to continue this  Agreement in effect after  Lessee's  breach
         and abandonment and recover Rent as it becomes due. Acts of maintenance
         or  preservation,  efforts to relet the Property,  the appointment of a
         receiver  upon Lessor's  initiative to protect its interest  under this
         Agreement or withholding consent to or terminating a sublease shall not
         of themselves constitute a termination of Lessee's right to possession.

                                       26




                  (c)  Removal  and  Storage of  Property.  Lessor may enter the
         Property  and remove  therefrom  all Persons and  property,  store such
         property in a public  warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the
         account  of Lessee  and sell  such  property  and  apply  the  proceeds
         therefrom pursuant to applicable California law.

         5.04. Loan Remedies. If the transaction evidenced by this Agreement and
the other  Operative  Documents  is treated as a loan,  upon the  occurrence  or
existence of any Event of Default and at any time  thereafter  unless such Event
of Default is waived, Lessor may, with the consent of the Required Participants,
or shall, upon instructions from the Required Participants,  exercise any one or
more of the  following  rights and  remedies  in  addition  to those  rights and
remedies set forth in Paragraph 5.02:

                  (a) Acceleration of Lessee Obligations. Lessor may, by written
         notice to Lessee,  terminate this Agreement on a Termination Date which
         is prior to the  Scheduled  Expiration  Date,  subject to  Subparagraph
         3.02(1) of the  Purchase  Agreement,  and  declare  all  unpaid  Lessee
         Obligations due and payable on such Termination  Date. Such Termination
         Date  shall  be  the  last  day  of a  Rental  Period  unless  Required
         Participants  shall otherwise  direct.  On such Termination Date (which
         shall then be the  Expiration  Date),  Lessee shall pay all unpaid Base
         Rent accrued through such date, all  Supplemental  Rent due and payable
         on or prior to such date and all other amounts payable by Lessee on the
         Expiration  Date  pursuant to this  Agreement  and the other  Operative
         Documents.

                  (b) Uniform Commercial Code Remedies.  Lessor may exercise any
         or all of the remedies  granted to a secured party under the California
         Uniform Commercial Code.

                  (c)  Judicial  Foreclosure.  Lessor may bring an action in any
         court of competent  jurisdiction to foreclose the security  interest in
         the  Property  granted to Lessor by this  Agreement or any of the other
         Operative Documents.

                  (d)  Power  of  Sale.  Lessor  may  cause  some  or all of the
         Property,  including any Personal  Property  Collateral,  to be sold or
         otherwise disposed of in any combination and in any manner permitted by
         applicable Governmental Rules.

                           (i) Sales of Personal Property. Lessor may dispose of
                  any Personal Property  Collateral  separately from the sale of
                  Real Property Collateral,  in any manner permitted by Division
                  9 of the California  Uniform  Commercial  Code,  including any
                  public or  private  sale,  or in any manner  permitted  by any
                  other applicable  Governmental  Rule. Any proceeds of any such
                  disposition  shall not cure any Event of Default or  reinstate
                  any Lessee  Obligation  for  purposes of Section  2912c of the
                  California  Civil Code.  In  connection  with any such sale or
                  other disposition, Lessee agrees that the following procedures
                  constitute a commercially reasonable sale:

                                    (A) Lessor shall mail written  notice of the
                           sale to Lessee not later than  thirty (30) days prior
                           to such sale.

                                       27




                                    (B) Once per week during the three (3) weeks
                           immediately  preceding such sale, Lessor will publish
                           notice  of the  sale in a local  daily  newspaper  of
                           general circulation.

                                    (C) Upon  receipt  of any  written  request,
                           Lessor will make the  Property  available to any bona
                           fide  prospective  purchaser  for  inspection  during
                           reasonable business hours.

                                    (D)  Notwithstanding,  Lessor shall be under
                           no  obligation  to  consummate  a  sale  if,  in  its
                           judgment,  none of the offers  received  by it equals
                           the fair value of the Property offered for sale.

                                    (E) If  Lessor  so  requests,  Lessee  shall
                           assemble all of the Personal Property  Collateral and
                           make it  available to Lessor at the site of the Land.
                           Regardless of any provision of this  Agreement or any
                           other  Operative   Document,   Lessor  shall  not  be
                           considered to have  accepted any property  other than
                           cash or immediately  available  funds in satisfaction
                           of any  Lessee  Obligation,  unless  Lessor has given
                           express written notice of its election of that remedy
                           in accordance with California Uniform Commercial Code
                           Section 9505.

                  The foregoing procedures do not constitute the only procedures
                  that may be commercially reasonable.

                           (ii)  Lessor's   Sales  of  Real  Property  or  Mixed
                  Collateral. Lessor may choose to dispose of some or all of the
                  Property which consists solely of Real Property  Collateral in
                  any manner then permitted by applicable Governmental Rules. In
                  its  discretion,  Lessor may also or  alternatively  choose to
                  dispose  of some or all of the  Property,  in any  combination
                  consisting  of both  Real  Property  Collateral  and  Personal
                  Property  Collateral,  together  in one  sale  to be  held  in
                  accordance  with  the law and  procedures  applicable  to real
                  property,  as permitted by Section  9501(4) of the  California
                  Uniform  Commercial  Code  (ORS  Section  79.5010(4)).  Lessee
                  agrees  that  such  a sale  of  Personal  Property  Collateral
                  together   with  Real   Property   Collateral   constitutes  a
                  commercially   reasonable   sale  of  the  Personal   Property
                  Collateral. (For purposes of this power of sale, either a sale
                  of Real  Property  Collateral  alone,  or a sale of both  Real
                  Property  Collateral and Personal Property Collateral together
                  in accordance with California  Uniform Commercial Code Section
                  9501(4), will sometimes be referred to as a "Lessor's Sale.")

                                    (A) Before any Lessor's  Sale,  Lessor shall

                                    (B)  When  all  time  periods  then  legally
                           mandated have expired,  and after such notice of sale

                           given, Lessor shall sell the property being sold at a
                           public  auction  to be held  at the  time  and  place
                           specified in the notice of sale.

                                    (C) Neither  Lessor nor Agent shall have any
                           obligation  to  make  demand  on  Lessee  before  any
                           Lessor's Sale.

                                    (D)  From  time to time in  accordance  with
                           then applicable law, Lessor may postpone any Lessor's
                           Sale by  public  announcement  at the time and  place
                           noticed for that sale.

                                    (E) At any Lessor's Sale,  Lessor shall sell
                           to the highest  bidder at public  auction for cash in
                           lawful money of the United States.

                                    (F) Lessor shall  execute and deliver to the
                           purchaser(s)  a deed or deeds  conveying the Property
                           being  sold   without   any   covenant   or  warranty
                           whatsoever,  express or implied.  The recitals in any
                           such  deed of any  matters  or facts,  including  any
                           facts bearing upon the  regularity or validity of any
                           Lessor's  Sale,  shall be  conclusive  proof of their
                           truthfulness.  Any  such  deed  shall  be  conclusive
                           against all Persons as to the facts recited in it.

                  (e) Foreclosure Sales.

                           (i) Single or Multiple.  If the Property  consists of
                  more than one lot, parcel or item of property, Lessor may:

                                    (A)  Designate  the order in which the lots,
                           parcels  and/or items shall be sold or disposed of or
                           offered for sale or disposition; and

                                    (B) Elect to  dispose  of the lots,  parcels
                           and/or items  through a single  consolidated  sale or
                           disposition  to be held or made  under  the  power of
                           sale   granted  in   Subparagraph   5.04(d),   or  in
                           connection with judicial proceedings, or by virtue of
                           a judgment  and decree of  foreclosure  and sale;  or
                           through two or more such sales or dispositions; or in
                           any other  manner  Lessor  may deem to be in its best
                           interests   (any   such   sale  or   disposition,   a
                           "Foreclosure  Sale;"  any two or  more,  "Foreclosure
                           Sales").

                  If Lessor  chooses  to have more  than one  Foreclosure  Sale,
                  Lessor at its  option  may cause the  Foreclosure  Sales to be
                  held  simultaneously  or successively,  on the same day, or on
                  such different  days and at such  different  times and in such
                  order  as it  may  deem  to  be  in  its  best  interests.  No
                  Foreclosure  Sale  shall  terminate  or  affect  the  security
                  interests  granted to Lessor in the Property by this Agreement
                  on any part of the Property which has not been sold, until all
                  of the Lessee Obligations have been paid in full.

                           (ii)  Credit  Bids.  At  any  Foreclosure  Sale,  any
                  Person,  including any Lessor  Party,  may bid for and acquire
                  the Property or any part of it to the extent permitted by then
                  applicable Governmental Rules. Instead of paying cash for that

                                       29




                  property,   Lessor  may  settle  for  the  purchase  price  by
                  crediting  the sales price of the Property  against the Lessee
                  Obligations in any order and proportions as Lessor in its sole
                  discretion may choose.

         5.05. Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of Lessor under this
Agreement and the other Operative  Documents are cumulative and may be exercised
singularly, successively, or together.

         5.06. No Cure or Waiver.  Neither the  performance  by Lessor of any of
Lessee's  obligations  pursuant to Paragraph  3.13 nor the exercise by Lessor of
any of its other rights and remedies under this Agreement or any other Operative
Document  (including  the  collection of Issues and Profits and the  application
thereof  to the Lessee  Obligations)  shall  constitute  a cure or waiver of any
Default or nullify the effect of any notice of default or sale, unless and until
all Lessee Obligations are paid in full.

         5.07. Exercise of Rights and Remedies. The rights and remedies provided
to Lessor  under this  Agreement  may be exercised  by Lessor  itself,  by Agent
pursuant  to  Subparagraph  2.02(c)  of  the  Participation   Agreement,   by  a
court-appointed  receiver  or by  any  other  Person  appointed  by  any  of the
foregoing  to act on its behalf.  All of the  benefits  afforded to Lessor under
this Agreement and the other Operative  Documents shall accrue to the benefit of
Agent to the  extent  provided  in  Subparagraph  2.02(c)  of the  Participation
Agreement.

SECTION 6.        MISCELLANEOUS.

         6.01.  Notices.  Except as  otherwise  specified  herein,  all notices,

         6.02. Waivers;  Amendments. Any term, covenant,  agreement or condition
of this Agreement may be amended or waived only as provided in the Participation
Agreement.  No  failure  or delay by any Lessor  Party in  exercising  any right
hereunder  shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other further exercise
thereof or of any other right.  Unless otherwise specified in any such waiver or
consent,  a waiver or consent  given  hereunder  shall be effective  only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

         6.03.  Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the  benefit of the  Lessor  Parties  and  Lessee  and their  permitted
successors and assigns;  provided,  however,  that the Lessor Parties and Lessee
shall not sell,  assign or  delegate  their  respective  rights and  obligations
hereunder except as provided in the Participation Agreement.

         6.04. No Third Party Rights. Nothing expressed in or to be implied from
this  Agreement is intended to give, or shall be construed to give,  any Person,
other than the Lessor  Parties  and Lessee and their  permitted  successors  and
assigns,  any benefit or legal or equitable

                                       30




right,  remedy  or claim  under or by virtue  of this  Agreement  or under or by
virtue of any provision herein.  6.05.  Partial  Invalidity.  If at any time any
provision of this Agreement is or becomes  illegal,  invalid or unenforceable in
any respect under the law or any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or
enforceability  of the remaining  provisions of this Agreement nor the legality,
validity  or  enforceability  of  such  provision  under  the  law of any  other
jurisdiction shall in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

         6.06.  Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in  accordance  with the laws of the State of  California  without  reference to
conflicts of law rules.

         6.07.  Counterparts.  This  Agreement  may be executed in any number of
identical counterparts,  any set of which signed by all the parties hereto shall
be deemed to constitute a complete, executed original for all purposes.

         6.08. Nature of Lessee's Obligations.

                  (a)  Independent  Obligation.  The obligation of Lessee to pay
         the  amounts  payable  by Lessee  under  this  Agreement  and the other
         Operative  Documents  and to perform the other  Lessee  Obligation  are
         absolute,  unconditional and irrevocable obligations which are separate
         and  independent  of the  obligations  of the Lessor Parties under this
         Agreement  and the other  Operative  Documents and all other events and
         circumstances,  including  the  events and  circumstances  set forth in
         Subparagraph 6.08(c).

                  (b) No Termination or Abatement.  This Agreement and the other
         Operative  Documents and Lessee's obligation to pay Rent and to pay and
         perform all other Lessee  Obligations  shall continue in full force and
         effect without abatement notwithstanding the occurrence or existence of
         any event or  circumstance,  including  any event or  circumstance  set
         forth in Subparagraph 6.08(c).

                  (c)  Full  Payment  and  Performance.  Lessee  shall  make all
         payments under this Agreement and the other Operative  Documents in the
         full amounts and at the times  required by the terms of this  Agreement
         and  the  other  Operative  Documents  without  setoff,   deduction  or
         reduction of any kind and shall perform all other Lessee Obligations as
         and  when  required,  without  regard  to any  event  or  circumstances
         whatsoever,  including (i) the condition of the Property (including any
         Improvements  to the Property  made prior to the  Commencement  Date or
         during the Term); (ii) title to the Property  (including  possession of
         the  Property by any Person or the  existence  of any Lien or any other
         right,  title or interest in or to any of the  Property in favor of any
         Person); (iii) the value, habitability, usability, design, operation or
         fitness for use of the Property;  (iv) the  availability or adequacy of
         utilities and other services to the Property; (v) any latent, hidden or
         patent  defect  in the  Property;  (vi) the  zoning  or  status  of the
         Property or any other restrictions on the use of the Property;  (g) the
         economics of the Property;  (vii) any Casualty or Condemnation;  (viii)
         the compliance of the Property with any applicable Governmental Rule or
         Insurance Requirement;  (ix) any failure by any Lessor Party to perform
         any of its  obligations  under this  Agreement  or any other  Operative
         Document;  or

                                       31




         (x) the exercise by any Lessor Party of any of its remedies  under this
         Agreement or any other Operative Document; provided, however, that this
         Paragraph  6.08 shall not  abrogate  any right which Lessee may have to
         recover  damages from any Lessor Party for any material  breach by such
         Lessor  Party of its  obligations  under  this  Agreement  or any other
         Operative Document to the extent permitted hereunder or thereunder.

                               PURCHASE AGREEMENT

         THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement" herein),  dated as of May 15,
1998, is entered into by and between:

                  (1) FAIR,  ISAAC AND  COMPANY,  INC.,  a Delaware  corporation
         ("Lessee"); and

                  (2) LEASE PLAN NORTH  AMERICA,  INC., an Illinois  corporation
         ("Lessor").


                                    RECITALS

         A. Lessee has requested Lessor and the financial institutions which are
"Participants" under the Participation  Agreement referred to in Recital B below
(such   financial   institutions   to  be  referred  to   collectively   as  the
"Participants") to provide to Lessee a lease facility pursuant to which:

                  (1) Lessor would (a) purchase certain  property  designated by
         Lessee,  (b) lease such  property  to  Lessee,  (c)  appoint  Lessee as
         Lessor's agent to make certain improvements to such property,  (d) make
         advances  to  finance  such  improvements  and to pay  certain  related
         expenses,  and (e) grant to Lessee the right to purchase such property;
         and

                  (2) The Participants  would participate in such lease facility
         by (a)  funding  the  purchase  price and other  advances to be made by
         Lessor,  and (b)  acquiring  participation  interests in the rental and
         certain other payments to be made by Lessee.

         B. Pursuant to a Participation  Agreement dated as of May 15, 1998 (the
"Participation  Agreement") among Lessee,  Lessor, the Participants and ABN AMRO
Bank N.V., as agent for the Participants (in such capacity, "Agent"), Lessor and
the  Participants  have agreed to provide such lease facility upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth therein,  including  without  limitation the
execution  and  delivery  of this  Agreement  setting  forth  the  terms for the
purchase of the Property by Lessee from Lessor.


                                    AGREEMENT

         NOW,  THEREFORE,  in consideration of the above Recitals and the mutual
covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. INTERPRETATION.

         1.01. Definitions.  Unless otherwise indicated in this Agreement or any
other  Operative  Document,  each  term  set  forth  in  Schedule  1.01  to  the
Participation  Agreement,  when used in

                                                                   EXHIBIT 10.40




this  Agreement  or any other  Operative  Document,  shall  have the  respective
meaning  given to that term in such  Schedule  1.01 or in the  provision of this
Agreement or other document, instrument or agreement referenced in such Schedule
1.01.

         1.02.  Rules  of  Construction.  Unless  otherwise  indicated  in  this
Agreement or any other Operative  Document,  the rules of construction set forth
in Schedule 1.02 to the  Participation  Agreement  shall apply to this Agreement
and the other Operative Documents.

SECTION 2. OPTIONAL PURCHASE BY LESSEE DURING THE TERM.

         2.01. Term Purchase Option. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and the other Operative Documents  (including those set forth below in
this Paragraph 2.01), Lessee may, at its option on any Business Day prior to the
Scheduled Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement,  terminate the Lease Agreement
and purchase all of the Property (the "Term Purchase Option").

                  (a) Notice of Term  Purchase  Option  Exercise.  Lessee  shall
         notify  Lessor of  Lessee's  exercise  of the Term  Purchase  Option by
         delivering  to  Lessor  an  irrevocable  written  notice in the form of
         Exhibit  A(1),  appropriately  completed  (the "Notice of Term Purchase
         Option Exercise"),  which states that Lessee is exercising its right to
         terminate the Lease  Agreement  prior to the Scheduled  Expiration Date
         thereof  pursuant to Paragraph 4.01 of the Lease Agreement and purchase
         all of the Property  pursuant to this  Paragraph 2.01 and specifies the
         Business Day on which such termination and purchase are to occur (which
         date, after the delivery of such notice, shall be the Expiration Date).
         Lessee shall give the Notice of Term Purchase Option Exercise to Lessor
         at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Business Day on which such
         termination  and  purchase  are to occur.  The Notice of Term  Purchase
         Option Exercise shall be delivered as required by Subparagraph  2.02(c)
         and Paragraph 7.01 of the Participation Agreement;  provided,  however,
         that Lessee shall  promptly  deliver the original of any Notice of Term
         Purchase Option Exercise initially delivered by facsimile.

                  (b) Term Purchase Option  Purchase Price.  Lessee shall pay to
         Lessor on the Expiration  Date, as the purchase price for the Property,
         an amount equal to the Outstanding Lease Amount on such date.

                  (c) Effect of Certain  Events.  Lessee may  exercise  the Term
         Purchase Option as provided in this Paragraph 2.01, notwithstanding (i)
         the prior  election by Lessee to exercise the Partial  Purchase  Option
         pursuant to Paragraph 2.02, the Marketing  Option pursuant to Paragraph
         3.01 and Paragraph 3.02 or the Expiration Date Purchase Option pursuant
         to Paragraph 3.01 and Paragraph  3.03,  provided that Lessor  completes
         the purchase of the Property  pursuant to the Term Purchase  Option and
         this Agreement  prior to the Scheduled  Expiration  Date and Lessor has
         not previously entered into an agreement with a Designated Purchaser or
         an Assignee  Purchaser to sell the Property or (ii) the  occurrence  of
         any Event of Default or the  exercise  by the Lessor  Parties of any of
         their rights or remedies  under the Operative  Documents  following the
         occurrence  of such Event of Default,  provided  that such  exercise by
         Lessee of the Term Purchase Option

                                       2




         after the  occurrence  of any Event of Default  shall not  require  the
         Lessor Parties to cease  exercising such rights and remedies unless and
         until Lessee  completes  the  purchase of the Property  pursuant to the
         Term Purchase Option and this Agreement.

         2.02.  Partial Purchase Option.  Subject to the terms and conditions of
this  Agreement and the other  Operative  Documents  (including  those set forth
below in this  Paragraph  2.02),  Lessee may from time to time, at its option on
any Business Day prior to the Scheduled  Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement,
without  terminating the Lease Agreement,  purchase one or more legal parcels of
property  included  in any Tract (a  "Sub-Tract  Parcel") of the  Property  (the
"Partial Purchase Option").

                  (a) Notice of Partial Purchase Option  Exercise.  Lessee shall
         notify Lessor of Lessee's  exercise of the Partial  Purchase  Option by
         delivering  to  Lessor  an  irrevocable  written  notice in the form of
         Exhibit A(2),  appropriately completed (the "Notice of Partial Purchase
         Option Exercise"),  which states that Lessee is exercising its right to
         purchase one or more  Sub-Tract  Parcels of the Property (but less than
         all of the Property) prior to the Scheduled Expiration Date pursuant to
         this  Paragraph  2.02  and  specifies  (i)  the  Sub-Tract(s)  so to be
         purchased  and (ii) the Business Day on which such purchase is to occur
         (a "Partial  Purchase Date").  Lessee shall give each Notice of Partial
         Purchase  Option  Exercise  to Lessor at least ten (10)  Business  Days
         prior to the  Partial  Purchase  Date on which a purchase  is to occur.
         Each Notice of Partial  Purchase  Option Exercise shall be delivered as
         required   by   Subparagraph   2.02(c)  and   Paragraph   7.01  of  the
         Participation Agreement;  provided, however, that Lessee shall promptly
         deliver the original of any Notice of Partial  Purchase Option Exercise
         initially delivered by facsimile.

                  (b) Partial  Purchase Option Purchase Price.  Lessee shall pay
         to Lessor on each Partial Purchase Date, as the purchase price for each
         Sub-Tract of Property to be purchased on such date,  an amount equal to
         the  purchase  price of such  Sub-Tract,  as set forth on Schedule 1 to
         Exhibit A(2) (the "Sub-Tract Purchase Price")

                  (c)  Conditions to Exercise of Partial  Purchase  Option.  The
         purchase by Lessee on any Partial  Purchase  Date of any  Sub-Tract  of
         Property  pursuant  to this  Paragraph  2.02 is  subject  to receipt by
         Lessor,  on or prior to such Partial  Purchase  Date, of new Expiration
         Date  Appraisals  for all Sub-Tracts and Tracts of Property that are to
         remain subject to the Lease Agreement after such Partial Purchase Date,
         which  appraisals  (i) each shall be dated a recent  date prior to such
         Partial Purchase Date and (ii) together shall assess the aggregate Fair
         Market Value of all such remaining Sub-Tracts and Tracts of Property at
         not less than the  Outstanding  Lease  Amount  that will  remain  after
         application  of all  amounts  to be  applied  thereto  on such  Partial
         Purchase Date.

                  (d)  Limitations to Exercise of Partial  Purchase Option as to
         the Tract 2 Land. Such other  limitations  with respect to the exercise
         of the Partial  Purchase  Option on the  Sub-Tracts  within the Tract 2
         Land as Lessor may reasonably  request prior to the Tract 2 Acquisition
         Date.

                  (e) Upon  delivery of any revised  Expiration  Date  Appraisal
         pursuant  to  Subparagraph  5.01(h)  of  the  Participation  Agreement,
         Schedule 1 to Exhibit  A-2 shall be

                                       3




         revised in accordance with such revised Expiration Date Appraisal.

SECTION 3. OBLIGATIONS OF LESSEE ON THE EXPIRATION DATE.

         3.01.  Alternative.  Unless  Lessee  has  exercised  the Term  Purchase
Option, on the Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement, Lessee shall either:

                  (a) Marketing  Option.  Cause  another  Person to complete the
         purchase of the  Property  pursuant to Paragraph  3.02 (the  "Marketing
         Option"); or

                  (b)  Expiration  Date Purchase  Option.  Purchase the Property
         itself  pursuant  to  Paragraph  3.03 (the  "Expiration  Date  Purchase
         Option").

Lessee shall elect either the Marketing  Option or the Expiration  Date Purchase
Option  by  delivering  to  Lessor,  not less than six (6)  months  prior to the
Scheduled  Expiration Date for the Lease Agreement,  either (i) a written notice
in the form of Exhibit B,  appropriately  completed  (the  "Notice of  Marketing
Option  Exercise"),  or  (ii)  a  written  notice  in the  form  of  Exhibit  C,
appropriately   completed  (the  "Notice  of  Expiration  Date  Purchase  Option
Exercise");  provided,  however, that (A) Lessee shall be deemed to have elected
the  Expiration  Date  Purchase  Option if it fails to deliver  either notice as
required by this sentence; (B) Lessee's election of the Expiration Date Purchase
Option (whether  expressly by a notice so delivered or implicitly by the failure
to deliver any notice)  shall be  irrevocable;  and (C) Lessee may not elect the
Marketing  Option if (1) the Expiration Date has been  accelerated to an earlier
Termination  Date following a Marketing  Option Event of Default under the Lease
Agreement or (2) the conditions set forth in Paragraph 3.03 of the Participation
Agreement are not satisfied on the date Lessee  delivers its election  notice or
on the Expiration  Date of the Lease Agreement  (unless,  in each case, the only
event  or  condition  causing  such  conditions  not to be so  satisfied  is the
occurrence  of  a  Non-Marketing   Option  Event  of  Default  under  the  Lease
Agreement).  The Notice of Marketing Option Exercise or the Notice of Expiration
Date Purchase  Option  Exercise  shall be delivered as required by  Subparagraph
2.02(c) and Paragraph 7.01 of the Participation  Agreement;  provided,  however,
that Lessee  shall  promptly  deliver to Lessor the  original of any such notice
initially delivered by facsimile.

         3.02. Marketing Option.

                  (a) General. If Lessee elects to exercise the Marketing Option
         by delivering to Lessor a Notice of Marketing Option Exercise  pursuant
         to Paragraph 3.01,  Lessee shall (i) locate a purchaser which satisfies
         the  requirements  set forth in this Paragraph  3.02,  (ii) arrange for
         such  purchaser to purchase the Property on the  Expiration  Date for a
         purchase  price which is not less than the lesser of (A) the sum of the
         total Tranche B  Proportionate  Share and total Tranche C Proportionate
         share of the Outstanding  Lease Amount and (B) the Fair Market Value of
         the Property, and (iii) otherwise comply, or cause compliance with, the
         requirements of this Paragraph 3.02 and the other applicable provisions
         of this Agreement.

                  (b) Lessee's Marketing Obligations.

                                       4




                           (i)  Initial  Marketing  Period.  During  the  period
                  beginning on the date Lessee  delivers the Notice of Marketing
                  Option  Exercise  and  ending  on the  date  which is four (4)
                  months  prior to the  Expiration  Date of the Lease  Agreement
                  (the "Initial Marketing Period"),  Lessee shall use reasonable
                  efforts to solicit  Conforming Bids from potential  purchasers
                  of the  Property.  On or prior to the last day of the  Initial
                  Marketing   Period,   Lessee  shall   deliver  to  Lessor  any
                  Conforming Bid selected by Lessee (the "Initial  Bid"). If the
                  purchase  price  specified  in the  Initial Bid is equal to or
                  greater  than the sum of the  total  Tranche  B  Proportionate
                  Share  and the  total  Tranche  C  Proportionate  Share of the
                  Outstanding  Lease  Amount,  Lessor  shall accept such bid and
                  Lessee shall have no further obligations to solicit additional
                  bids.

                           (ii) Secondary  Marketing  Period. If Lessee does not
                  submit an Initial Bid or if the  purchase  price  specified in
                  the  Initial  Bid is less than the sum of the total  Tranche B
                  Proportionate  Share  and the total  Tranche  C  Proportionate
                  Share of the Outstanding Lease Amount,  Lessor may reject such
                  bid and Lessee  shall,  during the period  which begins on the
                  day  following  the Initial  Marketing  Period and ends on the
                  date two (2) months prior to the Expiration  Date of the Lease
                  Agreement (the "Secondary Marketing Period"):

                                    (A)  Use  its  best   efforts   to   solicit
                           additional  Conforming Bids, including the engagement
                           of experienced and knowledgeable brokers;

                                    (B) Furnish to each Lessor  Party  copies of
                           all bids and otherwise provide each Lessor Party with
                           such  information  relating to the  marketing  of the
                           Property  as such  Person may  reasonably  request in
                           writing;

                                    (C)  Agree  to  provide  to  all   potential
                           purchasers   all   customary   seller's   indemnities
                           (including        environmental         indemnities),
                           representations and warranties regarding the Property
                           (including the title to, except for Lessor Liens, and
                           condition of the Property);

                                    (D) Furnish to each Lessor  Party  copies of
                           environmental  reports,   architect's   certificates,
                           licenses,   permits  and  other  evidence  reasonably
                           requested by such Person to establish that no Default
                           has  occurred  and  is  continuing  under  the  Lease
                           Agreement;

                                    (E)  Permit any  Lessor  Party or  potential
                           purchaser to inspect the Property and the maintenance
                           records  for  the  Property  upon  reasonable   prior
                           written  notice and during normal  business hours and
                           provide to each such Person all information regarding
                           the Property  reasonably  requested by such Person in
                           writing;

                                    (F) Take all other  commercially  reasonable
                           steps to secure the best price for the Property; and

                                       5




                                    (G) Submit to Lessor on or prior to the last
                           day of the Secondary  Marketing Period any Conforming
                           Bid selected by Lessee with a purchase price which is
                           equal to or greater than the sum of the total Tranche
                           B  Proportionate   Share  and  the  total  Tranche  C
                           Proportionate  Share of the Outstanding  Lease Amount
                           or, if no such Conforming Bid was received by Lessee,
                           the highest  Conforming Bid received by Lessee during
                           the Secondary Marketing Period.

                  During the Secondary  Marketing Period, any Lessor Party shall
                  have the right to submit one or more bids or solicit bids from
                  other Persons.

                  (c) Conforming  Bids. Each bid must meet each of the following
         requirements  (each such bid to be referred to herein as a  "Conforming
         Bid"):

                           (i) The bid may be submitted by any Person other than
                  (A) a Person  which is an  Affiliate of Lessee or (B) a Person
                  which has an  agreement  (whether  express  or  implied)  with
                  Lessee or any of its  Affiliates  to sell,  lease or otherwise
                  make  available to Lessee or any of its Affiliates any portion
                  of the Property;

                           (ii) The bidder must agree in writing to purchase the
                  Property on the Expiration  Date of the Lease  Agreement for a
                  purchase  price to be paid in cash  which is not less than the
                  lesser  of (A) the sum of the total  Tranche  B  Proportionate
                  Share and the Tranche C Proportionate Share of the Outstanding
                  Lease Amount on such date and (B) the Fair Market Value of the
                  Property on such date;

                           (iii) The bidder must agree to purchase  the Property
                  "as   is"   without   any   representations,   warranties   or
                  indemnities, except for (A) any representations, warranties or
                  indemnities   provided  by  Lessor  and  Lessee   pursuant  to
                  Subparagraph 4.01(b) and (B) any  representations,  warranties
                  or indemnities  provided by Lessee  pursuant to clause (ii)(C)
                  of Subparagraph 3.02(b); and

                           (iv) The  bidder  must agree to be bound by the other
                  terms and conditions of this Agreement applicable to bidders.

                  (d) Lessor's  Obligation to Accept Bids. If, at any time on or
         prior to the last day of the Secondary Marketing Period, Lessee submits
         to Lessor a Conforming  Bid under this  Paragraph  3.02 with a purchase
         price which is equal to or greater than the sum of the total  Tranche B
         Proportionate  Share  and the  Tranche  C  Proportionate  Share  of the
         Outstanding  Lease  Amount,  Lessor  shall  accept  such bid. If Lessee
         submits to Lessor a  Conforming  Bid under this  Paragraph  3.02 with a
         purchase  price  which is less  than  the sum of the  total  Tranche  B
         Proportionate  Share  and the  Tranche  C  Porportionate  Share  of the
         Outstanding  Lease  Amount,  Lessor  shall not  accept  such bid unless
         approved by Lessor and Required Participants. If Lessee fails to submit
         a bid to Lessor on or prior to the last day of the Secondary  Marketing
         Period which  Lessor is so required to accept,  Lessor shall retain the
         Property after the Expiration  Date of the Lease  Agreement;  provided,
         however,  that Lessee's  payment  obligations on such  Expiration  Date
         shall be

                                       6




         limited to the amounts payable pursuant to clause (iii) of Subparagraph
         4.06(a) if (i) Lessor  retains  the  Property  after  Lessee  submits a
         Conforming  Bid on or prior to the last day of the Secondary  Marketing
         Period in accordance with clause (ii) of Subparagraph  3.02(b) and (ii)
         the Marketing  Option has not terminated  prior to such Expiration Date
         pursuant  to  Subparagraph  3.02(f).  Lessor  shall  notify  Lessee  of
         Lessor's  election to retain the Property by delivering  to Lessee,  at
         least  ten  (10)  days  prior  to the  Expiration  Date  of  the  Lease
         Agreement, a written notice of such election.

                  (e) Purchase  Price.  If Lessor accepts any bid by any Person,
         such Person  (the  "Designated  Purchaser")  shall pay to Lessor on the
         Expiration Date of the Lease  Agreement,  as the purchase price for the
         Property, the amount set forth in such bid as the purchase price.

                  (f)  Termination  of the Marketing  Option.  Lessee's right to
         exercise the Marketing  Option shall  immediately  terminate and Lessee
         shall  purchase  the  Property  on the  Expiration  Date  of the  Lease
         Agreement pursuant to Paragraph 3.03 if (i) Lessee fails to comply with
         any of its  obligations  under this  Paragraph  3.02;  (ii) a Marketing
         Option Event of Default under the Lease  Agreement  occurs after Lessee
         delivers the Notice of Marketing Option Exercise;  (iii) the conditions
         precedent set forth in Paragraph  3.03 of the  Participation  Agreement
         are not satisfied on the Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement (unless
         the only  event  or  condition  causing  such  conditions  not to be so
         satisfied is the occurrence of a Non-Marketing  Option Event of Default
         under the Lease Agreement);  or (iv) the Designated  Purchaser fails to
         consummate the purchase of the Property on the  Expiration  Date of the
         Lease Agreement in accordance with its accepted bid and this Agreement,
         without  regard to the reason  for such  failure  (except as  otherwise
         provided in the following  proviso);  provided,  however,  that, if the
         Designated  Purchaser  fails to consummate the purchase of the Property
         on the Expiration Date solely due to Lessor's  failure to remove Lessor
         Liens or deliver the required deed and bill of sale or other  documents
         required  to be  delivered  by  Lessor  hereunder,  Lessee's  right  to
         exercise the Marketing Option shall not terminate,  Lessee shall not be
         required to purchase the Property on the  Expiration  Date and Lessee's
         payment  obligations  on the  Expiration  Date  shall be limited to the
         amounts set forth in clause (ii) of Subparagraph 4.06(a) (determined as
         if the purchase by the Designated Purchaser had been consummated).

                  (g)  Residual  Value  Guaranty  Amount and  Indemnity  Amount.
         Unless  Lessee's right to exercise the Marketing  Option has terminated
         and Lessee is required to purchase the Property on the Expiration  Date
         of the Lease Agreement  pursuant to Paragraph 3.03, Lessee shall pay to
         Lessor on such Expiration Date the following:

                           (i) An amount (the "Residual Value Guaranty  Amount")
                  equal  to the  total  Tranche  A  Proportionate  Share  of the
                  Outstanding Lease Amount on such date; and

                           (ii) An amount (the "Indemnity  Amount") equal to the
                  decrease,  if  any,  between  the  Commencement  Date  and the
                  Expiration  Date of the  Lease  Agreement  in the Fair  Market
                  Value of the  Property  caused  by (A) any  representation  or
                  warranty  of Lessee  or any of its  Affiliates  regarding  the
                  Property

                                       7




                  set  forth in any of the  Operative  Documents  proving  to be
                  false or  inaccurate  when made,  (B) the existence of, or the
                  failure of Lessee to pay any Governmental Charge, Indebtedness
                  or other obligation which might give rise to, any Liens in the
                  Property  (other  than  Permitted  Property  Liens),  (C)  the
                  failure  of Lessee to  complete  any New  Improvements  or any
                  Modifications  or (D) any  other  failure  of Lessee to comply
                  with any of its  obligations  regarding the Property set forth
                  in any of the Operative Documents;

         Provided,  however,  that (A) Lessee  shall not be obligated to pay any
         Residual  Value  Guaranty  Amount or  Indemnity  Amount if the purchase
         price paid to Lessor equals or exceeds the Outstanding  Lease Amount on
         such date and (B) the sum of any  Residual  Value  Guaranty  Amount and
         Indemnity  Amount payable to Lessor on the Expiration Date of the Lease
         Agreement  shall  not  exceed  the  deficiency,  if any,  between  such
         Outstanding Lease Amount and such purchase price.

                  (h)  Determination of Fair Market Value and Indemnity  Amount.
         If the purchase price specified in the Initial Bid is less than the sum
         of the total  Tranche  B  Proportionate  Share and the total  Tranche C
         Proportionate Share of the Outstanding Lease Amount,  Lessor may, on or
         prior to the last day of the Secondary  Marketing Period (if Lessee has
         not  previously  delivered to Lessor a  Conforming  Bid with a purchase
         price  equal  to or  greater  than  the  sum of  the  total  Tranche  B
         Proportionate  Share and the total Tranche C Proportionate Share of the
         Outstanding  Lease  Amount),  deliver  to  Lessee a  written  notice of
         Lessor's determination of the current Fair Market Value of the Property
         and the  Indemnity  Amount.  To determine  such  amounts,  Lessor shall
         obtain Appraisals of the Property which set forth:

                           (i) A current  Appraisal  of the Fair Market Value of
                  the  Property in its then  existing  condition  (the  "Current
                  Appraisal"); and

                           (ii) An  Appraisal  of the Fair  Market  Value of the
                  Property  which  assumes  that  (A)  all  representations  and
                  warranties regarding the Property made by Lessee or any of its
                  Affiliates  in any of the  Operative  Documents  were true and
                  correct when made;  (B) Lessee has  maintained the Property in
                  compliance with all applicable  Governmental Rules,  Insurance
                  Requirements  and the  Operative  Documents;  (C)  Lessee  has
                  completed all  Modifications and any other New Improvements in
                  a good and workmanlike manner and otherwise as required by the
                  Operative  Documents;  (D) Lessee has repaired the Property as
                  required by the  Operative  Documents  following any Casualty;
                  (E)  Lessee has  restored  the  Property  as  required  by the
                  Operative Documents following any Condemnation; (F) Lessee has
                  paid  all   Governmental   Charges,   Indebtedness  and  other
                  obligations which, if unpaid, might give rise to a Lien (other
                  than a Lessor  Lien) on the  Property;  (G) Lessee has removed
                  all Liens on the Property except for Permitted  Property Liens
                  and Lessor  Liens;  and (H) Lessee  has  performed  all of its
                  other obligations as required by the Operative  Documents (the
                  "Assumed Appraisal").

         In the  absence of manifest  error,  (A) the  Current  Appraisal  shall
         constitute  the current  Fair Market  Value of the Property and (B) the
         difference  between the  Current  Appraisal

                                       8




         and the Assumed  Appraisal shall constitute the Indemnity Amount if the
         Current Appraisal is less than the Assumed Appraisal.

                  (i) Lessee not an Agent.  Lessee shall not be an agent for any
         of the Lessor Parties in arranging for a purchaser of the Property.  No
         Lessor Party shall be bound by any acts of Lessee.

                  (j) Excess  Proceeds.  If, on the Expiration Date of the Lease
         Agreement,  after the application by Lessor of all amounts  received by
         Lessor on such date to the  Outstanding  Lease Amount,  all unpaid Rent
         accrued  through  or due and  payable  on or prior to such date and all
         other  amounts,  if any, due and payable by Lessee under the  Operative
         Documents on or prior to such date, any excess amount  remains,  Lessor
         promptly shall pay such excess amount to Lessee.

                  (k) Creditworthiness of Designated  Purchaser.  Lessee assumes
         all  responsibility  for  determining  the   creditworthiness   of  any
         potential purchaser on any bid submitted by Lessee to Lessor hereunder.
         If,  after  any  purchase  by a  Designated  Purchaser  hereunder,  the
         purchase price paid by such Designated  Purchaser is recovered from any
         Lessor  Party,  Lessee  shall  reimburse  such  Lessor  Party  for such
         recovery   unless   such   recovery   is  due   solely  to  a  material
         misrepresentation or covenant breach by such Lessor Party.

                  (l) Exercise of Marketing  Option After  Non-Marketing  Option
         Event of Default.  If Lessor  notifies  Lessee pursuant to Subparagraph
         5.03(a) or  Subparagraph  5.04(a) of the Lease Agreement that Lessor is
         terminating the Lease Agreement on a Termination Date which is prior to
         the Scheduled Expiration Date of the Lease Agreement and the only basis
         for such early termination is the occurrence of a Non-Marketing  Option
         Event of  Default,  Lessee may,  subject to  Paragraph  3.01,  elect to
         exercise the Marketing Option if, not later than five (5) Business Days
         after it receives from Lessor such notice of early termination,  it (i)
         delivers to Lessor a Notice of Marketing Option Exercise, (ii) delivers
         to Agent or Participants  Cash Collateral as required by clause (ii) of
         Subparagraph 2.11(a) of the Participation Agreement,  (iii) delivers to
         Lessor  an  opinion  of its  counsel  as  required  by  clause  (ii) of
         Subparagraph  2.11(a) of the  Participation  Agreement,  and (iv) takes
         such other actions as may be necessary to grant to Agent first priority

SECTION 5. MISCELLANEOUS.

         5.01.  Notices.  Except as  otherwise  specified  herein,  all notices,
requests,  demands,  consents,  instructions or other  communications to or upon
Lessee or Lessor under this Agreement shall be given as provided in Subparagraph
2.02(c) and Paragraph 7.01 of the Participation Agreement.

         5.02. Waivers,  Amendments. Any term, covenant,  agreement or condition
of this Agreement may be amended or waived only as provided in the Participation
Agreement.  No  failure  or delay by any Lessor  Party in  exercising  any right
hereunder  shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other further exercise
thereof or of any other right.  Unless otherwise specified in any such waiver or
consent,  a waiver or consent  given  hereunder  shall be effective  only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

         5.03. Successors and Assigns.

                  (a) General. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
         the  benefit of the  Lessor  Parties  and  Lessee  and their  permitted
         successors and assigns; provided,  however, that the Lessor Parties and
         Lessee shall not sell,  assign or delegate their respective  rights and
         obligations hereunder except as provided in the Participation Agreement
         and in Subparagraph 5.03(b).

                  (b) Assignment by Lessee of Purchase Rights. Lessee may assign
         to a third party (an  "Assignee  Purchaser")  its right to purchase the
         Property  pursuant to the Term Purchase  Option,  the Partial  Purchase
         Option or the Expiration Date Purchase Option;

                                       15




         provided, however, that (i) such an assignment shall not relieve Lessee
         of its obligations to consummate or cause the  consummation of any such
         purchase in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) Lessee
         assumes all responsibility for determining the  creditworthiness of any
         such  Assignee  Purchaser.  If,  after  any  purchase  by  an  Assignee
         Purchaser hereunder, the purchase price paid by such Assignee Purchaser
         is recovered from any Lessor Party,  Lessee shall reimburse such Lessor
         Party  for such  recovery  unless  such  recovery  is due  solely  to a
         material misrepresentation or covenant breach by such Lessor Party.

         5.04. No Third Party Rights. Nothing expressed in or to be implied from
this  Agreement is intended to give, or shall be construed to give,  any Person,
other than the Lessor  Parties  and Lessee and their  permitted  successors  and
assigns,  any benefit or legal or equitable  right,  remedy or claim under or by
virtue of this Agreement or under or by virtue of any provision herein.

         5.05.  Partial  Invalidity.  If at  any  time  any  provision  of  this
Agreement is or becomes  illegal,  invalid or unenforceable in any respect under
the law or any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of
the  remaining  provisions  of this  Agreement  nor the  legality,  validity  or
enforceability of such provision under the law of any other  jurisdiction  shall
in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

         5.06.  Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in  accordance  with the laws of the State of  California  without  reference to
conflicts of law rules.

         5.07.  Counterparts.  This  Agreement  may be executed in any number of
identical counterparts,  any set of which signed by all the parties hereto shall
be deemed to constitute a complete, executed original for all purposes.

         5.08. Nature of Lessee's Obligations.

                  (a)  Independent  Obligation.  The obligation of Lessee to pay
         the  amounts  payable  by Lessee  under  this  Agreement  and the other
         Operative  Documents  and to perform the other  Lessee  Obligation  are
         absolute,  unconditional and irrevocable obligations which are separate
         and  independent  of the  obligations  of the Lessor Parties under this
         Agreement  and the other  Operative  Documents and all other events and
         circumstances,  including  the  events and  circumstances  set forth in
         Subparagraph 5.08(c).

                  (b) No Termination or Abatement.  This Agreement and the other
         Operative   Documents  and  Lessee's  obligation  to  pay  all  amounts
         hereunder  and to pay and perform all other  Lessee  Obligations  shall
         continue in full force and effect without abatement notwithstanding the
         occurrence  or existence of any event or  circumstance,  including  any
         event or circumstance set forth in Subparagraph 5.08(c).

                  (c)  Full  Payment  and  Performance.  Lessee  shall  make all
         payments under this Agreement and the other Operative  Documents in the
         full amounts and at the times  required by the terms of this  Agreement
         and  the  other  Operative  Documents  without  setoff,   deduction  or
         reduction of any kind and shall perform all other Lessee Obligations as
         and  when  required,  without  regard  to any  event  or  circumstances
         whatsoever,

                                       16

         to the Property made prior to the Commencement  Date or during the Term
         of  the  Lease  Agreement);  (ii)  title  to  the  Property  (including

         or any other  right,  title or interest in or to any of the Property in
         favor  of any  Person);  (iii)  the  value,  habitability,  useability,
         design,  operation  or  fitness  for  use of  the  Property;  (iv)  the
         availability  or  adequacy  of  utilities  and  other  services  to the

         Casualty or  Condemnation;  (viii) the  compliance of the Property with
         any applicable  Governmental  Rule or Insurance  Requirement;  (ix) any
         failure by any Lessor  Party to perform  any of its  obligations  under
         this Agreement or any other Operative Document;  or (x) the exercise by
         any Lessor  Party of any of its  remedies  under this  Agreement or any
         other Operative Document;  provided,  however, that this Paragraph 5.08
         shall not abrogate  any right which Lessee may have to recover  damages
         from any Lessor Party for any  material  breach by such Lessor Party of
         its obligations under this Agreement or any other Operative Document to
         the extent permitted hereunder or thereunder.

              tenant,  entered  into a lease  dated  April  28,  1995,  covering
              certain  premises  located at 4255 Lexington  Avenue North,  Arden
              Hills, Minnesota (the "Lease").

Second:       CSMI's  interest,  as  landlord,  in the Lease was assigned to CSM
              Corporation,  pursuant to an Assignment and  Assumption  Agreement
              dated  September 12, 1995,  whereupon CSM  Corporation  became the
              landlord under the Lease.

Third:        The parties have executed a First Amendment to Lease,  dated March
              11,  1997,  clarifying  their  respective  rights and  obligations
              concerning the "Excess Land" described in the First Amendment.

Fourth:       The  parties  have  executed a Second  Amendment  to Lease,  dated
              November  25,  1997,  extending  the Initial Term of the Lease and
              establishing the rents payable thereunder during such period.

Fifth:        The  parties  wish to  execute  this Third  Amendment  to Lease to
              further  extend the term of the Lease and to  establish  the rents
              payable thereunder during such period:


                                    AGREEMENT

In  consideration  of  the  above  stated  premises  and  the  mutual  covenants
hereinafter  contained,  the parties  hereby  agree that the Lease is  modified,
amended and/or supplemented as follows:

1.       Premises.  The Premises and certain improvements thereupon shall be and
         are  hereby  modified  as shown on the site  plan  attached  hereto  as
         REVISED   EXHIBIT  A.  REVISED   EXHIBIT  A  replaces  and  his  hereby

         all as shown on REVISED EXHIBIT A. Tenant  acknowledges and agrees that
         the Premises will be subject to and benefitted by various non-exclusive
         easements  for  ingress,  egress and  access  over the  private  drives

         other purposes, provided that the same shall not interfere with the use
         and enjoyment of the Premises, as contemplated herein.

2.       Lease Term.  Landlord and Tenant are parties to a lease agreement dated
         December 2, 1998 (the "New Lease"), covering certain premises and a new
         building to be constructed  thereon  located  adjacent to the Premises,
         all as shown on REVISED  EXHIBIT A. The parties  agree that the term of
         the Lease  shall be  adjusted  such that the term of the Lease shall be
         coterminous with the term of the New Lease. More particularly, upon the
         commencement  date of the New  Lease,  the term of the  Lease  shall be
         extended  and  shall run for a period of one  hundred  fifty-six  (156)

         calendar month, then the term of the Lease shall continue in full force
         and effect for a period of one hundred  fifty-six (156) months from and

         expiration date of the Lease.

3.       Subsection 1.6(A) of the Lease and Section 2 of the Second Amendment to

         of this Lease shall be as follows:

4.       Remodeling Allowance. Landlord agrees to provide Tenant with a one time

         remodeling occurs, in accordance with the following schedule:

                  Period of                          Maximum Allowance

                  1/1/03 - 12/31/04                           $3.75
                  1/1/05 - 12/31/06                           $4.50
                  1/1/07 - 12/31/08                           $5.25

         The allowance shall apply towards Tenant's actual  remodeling costs and
         shall be payable to Tenant upon completion of remodeling and receipt by
         Landlord of evidence of payment under normal and customary construction
         lending  procedures.  Landlord  shall not be  required  to provide  any
         allowance on costs submitted for reimbursement after December 31, 2010.

4.       Guaranty.  Landlord has  required,  as a condition to its  execution of
         this  third  Amendment  to  Lease,   that  Fair,   Isaac  and  Company,

         obligations under the Lease, as amended.  Tenant agrees to deliver such
         guaranty,  in the form of  EXHIBIT C attached  hereto and  incorporated
         herein by reference,  within ten (10) days following the full execution
         of this Third  Amendment to Lease by Landlord and Tenant.  In the event
         Tenant fails to deliver  such  guaranty,  Landlord  may, at its option,
         terminate  this Third  Amendment  to Lease  upon five (5) days  written
         notice to Tenant.

5.       Section  14.12 of the Lease is deleted in its  entirety and is replaced
         with the following:

         "Option to Extend.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set
         forth,  Tenant  shall  have the option to extend the term of this Lease
         for one (1) additional  sixty (60) month term ("Option  Term") upon and
         pursuant to the same conditions  contained  herein.  This option may be
         exercised by written  notice of exercise from Tenant to Landlord  given
         not less than one (1) year prior to the  expiration  of the Lease Term.
         Tenant may  exercise  this option only if: (i) no  condition of default
         exists with respect to Tenant's  performance of its  obligations  under
         the Lease; and (ii) Tenant simultaneously  exercises all of its options
         to extend under the New Lease and under the Existing Lease covering the
         premises  located  at 4295  Lexington  Avenue  North  in  Arden  Hills,
         Minnesota (as defined in Section 14.12 of the New Lease). Base Rent for
         the Option Term shall be at the fair

                                       2




         market rate for comparable space in the north suburban geographic area.
         The fair market rent shall be agreed upon by Tenant and Landlord within
         sixty  (60) days of  Tenant's  notice to  Landlord  of its  irrevocable
         intent to  exercise  its  option to extend set forth  herein.  The fair
         market  rental  rate  shall  be  determined  in  accordance   with  the
         definition  set forth in Section 7 of the  Existing  Lease dated May 1,
         1995 and amended  December  30, 1996 for the  premises  located at 4295
         Lexington  Avenue  North in Arden Hills,  Minnesota.  In the event that
         Landlord and Tenant fail to agree to the fair market rental rate in the
         time  period  set forth  herein,  then the fair  market  rent  shall be
         established in accordance with the arbitration  procedures set forth in
         section  8 of the  Existing  Lease  for the  premises  located  at 4295
         Lexington  Avenue North in Arden Hills,  Minnesota.  If Tenant fails to
         exercise this option as  aforesaid,  this option shall be null and void
         and of no further force and effect."

6.       Miscellaneous.  Except as  expressly  stated  herein,  the Lease  shall
         remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Third Amendment to Lease
to be executed the day and year first above written.
