If such fire or other casualty damages the Premises or common areas of the Building necessary for Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises and if such damage is not the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant's agents, employees, contractors, licensees, or invitees, then during the period the Premises are rendered unusable by such damage, Tenant shall be entitled to a reduction in Base Rent in the proportion that the area of the Premises rendered unusable by such damage bears to the total area of the Premises. Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage to, or to make any replacement of, any movable furniture, equipment, trade fixtures, or personal property in the Premises. Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, repair and replace all such movable furniture, equipment, trade fixtures, and personal property. Such repair and replacement by Tenant shall be done in accordance with Article 8 hereof. Tenant hereby waives California Civil Code Sections 1932(2) and 1933(4) providing for termination of hiring upon destruction of the thing hired. 10.2 If the Building or the Premises, or any part thereof, is damaged by fire or other casualty before the Commencement Date or during the term of this Lease and (a) such fire or other casualty occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the term of this Lease and the repair and restoration work to be performed by Landlord in accordance with Section 10.1 hereof cannot, as reasonably estimated by Landlord, be completed within two (2) months after the occurrence of such fire or other casualty, or (b) the insurance proceeds received by Landlord in respect of such damage are not adequate to pay the entire cost, as reasonably estimated by Landlord, of the repair and restoration work to be performed by Landlord in accordance with Section 10.1 hereof, or (c) the repair and restoration work to be performed by Landlord in accordance with Section 10.1 hereof cannot, as reasonably estimated by Landlord, be completed within six (6) months after the occurrence of such fire or other casualty, then, in any such event, Landlord shall have the right, by giving written notice to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such fire or other casualty, to terminate this Lease as of the date of such notice.

Landlord shall not be ------------------------------------------- obligated to insure any furniture, equipment, trade fixtures, machinery, goods, or supplies which Tenant may keep or maintain in the Premises or any alteration, addition, or improvement which Tenant may make upon the Premises. In addition, Landlord shall secure and maintain rental income insurance. Landlord may elect to self-insure for the coverages required under this section. If the annual cost to Landlord for such property or rental income insurance exceeds the standard rates because of the nature of Tenant's operations, Tenant shall, upon receipt of appropriate invoices, reimburse Landlord for such increased cost. (b) Commercial general liability insurance. Such insurance shall be in -------------------------------------- addition to, and not in lieu of, insurance required to be maintained by Tenant. Landlord may elect to self-insure for this coverage. Tenant shall not be named as an additional insured on any policy of liability insurance maintained by Landlord. 12 - OFFICE LEASE 11.3 Tenant's Insurance.

Updated certificates of insurance, acceptable to Landlord, evidencing the existence and amount of each insurance policy required hereunder shall be delivered to Landlord prior to the Commencement Date and ten (10) days prior to each renewal date. Certificates of insurance shall include an endorsement for each policy showing that Landlord; its trustees, officers, directors, agents, and employees; Landlord's mortgagees and Landlord's Representatives are included as additional insureds on liability policies and that Landlord is loss payee for property insurance. Further, the certificates must include an endorsement for each policy whereby the insurer agrees not to cancel the policy without at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Landlord and Landlord's Representatives. 11.5 Tenant shall not do or permit to be done anything which will invalidate or increase the cost of any fire, extended coverage or any other insurance policy covering the Building and/or property located therein. Tenant shall promptly upon demand reimburse Landlord for any additional premium charged for such policy by reason of Tenant's failure to comply with the provisions of this section. 11.6 In the event that Tenant fails to provide evidence of insurance required to be provided by Tenant hereunder, prior to the Commencement Date and thereafter during the Term, within ten (10) days following Landlord's request thereof, and thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of any such coverage, Landlord shall be authorized (but not required) to procure such coverage in the amount stated with all costs thereof to be chargeable to Tenant and payable upon written invoice thereof. 14 - OFFICE LEASE 11.7 The limits of insurance required by this Lease, or as carried by Tenant, shall not limit the liability of Tenant or relieve Tenant of any obligation thereunder, except to the extent provided for under Section 11.8 below. Any deductibles selected by Tenant shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant. Landlord may, in its sole discretion, change the insurance policy limits and forms which are required to be provided by Tenant. Such changes will be made to conform with common insurance requirements for similar properties in similar geographic locations. Landlord will not change required insurance limits or form more often than once per calendar year. 11.8 Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord and Tenant each waives all rights of recovery, claim, action, or cause of action against the other, its agents (including partners, both general and limited), trustees, officers, directors, employees, for any loss or damage that may occur to the Premises, or any improvements thereto, or the Building or any personal property of such party therein, by reason of any peril required to be insured against under this lease, regardless of cause of origin, including negligence of the other party. Tenant and Landlord covenants that, to the fullest extend permitted by law, no insurer shall hold any right of subrogation against the other. Tenant shall advise its insurers of the foregoing and such waiver shall be permitted under any policies maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Article 11. ARTICLE 12 - Compliance With Legal Requirements 12.1 Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly comply with all laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders, and other requirements of any government or public authority now in force or which may hereafter be in force, with the requirements of any board of fire underwriters or other similar body now or hereafter constituted, and with any direction or certificate of occupancy issued pursuant to any law by any governmental agency or officer, insofar as any thereof relate to or affect the condition, use, or occupancy of the Premises or the operation, use, or maintenance of any equipment, fixtures, or improvements in the Premises, excluding requirements of structural changes not related to or affected by Tenant's acts or use of the Premises or by improvements made by or for Tenant. ARTICLE 13 - Assignment and Subletting 13.1 Tenant shall not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, assign this Lease or any interest herein or sublease the Premises or any part thereof, or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises by any person other than Tenant. Tenant shall not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Landlord, pledge, mortgage, or hypothecate this Lease or any interest herein. This Lease shall not, nor shall any interest herein, be assignable as to the interest of Tenant involuntarily or by operation of law without the prior written consent of Landlord. Any of the foregoing acts without such prior written consent of Landlord shall be void and shall, at the option of Landlord, constitute a default that entitles Landlord to terminate this Lease. 15 - OFFICE LEASE Without limiting or excluding other reasons for withholding Landlord's consent, Landlord shall have the right to withhold consent if the proposed assignee or subtenant or the use of the Premises to be made by the proposed assignee or subtenant is not consistent with the character and nature of other tenants and uses in the Building or is prohibited by this Lease or if it is not demonstrated to the satisfaction of Landlord that the proposed assignee or subtenant has good business and moral character and reputation and is financially able to perform all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease. Tenant agrees that the instrument by which any assignment or sublease to which Landlord consents is accomplished shall expressly provide that the assignee or subtenant will perform all the covenants to be performed by Tenant under this Lease as and when performance is due after the effective date of the assignment or sublease and that Landlord will have the right to enforce such covenants directly against such assignee or subtenant. Any purported assignment or sublease without an instrument containing the foregoing provisions shall be void. Tenant shall in all cases remain liable and responsible for the performance by any assignee or subtenant of all such covenants. 13.2 If Tenant wishes to assign this Lease or sublease all or any part of the Premises, Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord identifying the intended assignee or subtenant by name and address and specifying all of the terms of the intended assignment or sublease. Tenant shall give Landlord such additional information concerning the intended assignee or subtenant or the intended assignment or sublease as Landlord reasonably requests. For a period of thirty (30) days after such notice is given by Tenant, Landlord shall have the right, by giving written notice to Tenant, either (a) to enter into an assignment of this Lease or a sublease of the Premises, as the case may be, with Tenant upon the terms set forth in such notice or (b) in the case of an assignment of this Lease or a sublease of the entire Premises for the balance of the term of this Lease, to terminate this Lease, which termination shall be effective as of the date on which the intended assignment or sublease would have been effective if Landlord had not exercised its termination right. If Landlord elects to enter into an assignment of this Lease or a sublease of the Premises or to terminate this Lease, Landlord may enter into a new lease or agreement covering the Premises or any portion thereof with the intended assignee or subtenant on such terms as Landlord and such assignee or subtenant agree, or enter into a new lease or agreement covering the Premises or any portion thereof with any other person. In such event, Tenant shall not be entitled to any portion of the profit, if any, which Landlord may realize on account of such new lease or agreement. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, then from and after the date of such termination, Landlord and Tenant each shall have no further obligation to the other under this Lease with respect to the Premises except for matters occurring or obligations arising hereunder prior to the date of such termination. 13.3 If Landlord does not exercise its rights under Section 13.2 hereof and consents in writing, Tenant may complete the intended assignment or sublease subject to the following covenants: (a) the assignment or sublease shall be on the same terms as set forth in the written notice given by Tenant to Landlord, (b) no assignment or sublease shall be valid and no assignee or subtenant shall take possession of the Premises or any part thereof until an executed duplicate original of such assignment or sublease, in compliance with Section 13.1 hereof, has 16 - OFFICE LEASE been delivered to Landlord, (c) no assignee or subtenant shall have a right futher to assign or sublease, and (d) all "excess rent" (as hereinafter defined) derived from such assignment or sublease shall be divided and paid fifty percent (50%) to Tenant and fifty percent (50%) to Landlord. Landlord's share of such excess rent shall be deemed to be, and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord as, additional rent. Tenant shall pay Landlord's share of such excess rent to Landlord immediately as and when such excess rent is receivable by Tenant. As used in this Section 13.3,"excess rent" shall mean the amount by which the total money and other economic consideration to be paid by the assignee or subtenant as a result of an assignment or sublease, whether denominated rent or otherwise, exceeds, in the aggregate, the total amount of rent which Tenant is obligated to pay to Landlord under this Lease (prorated to reflect the rent allocable to the portion of the Premises subject to such assignment or sublease), less the reasonable costs paid by Tenant for additional improvements installed in the portion of the Premises subject to such assignment or sublease by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense for the specific assignee or subtenant in question and reasonable leasing costs (such as brokers' commissions but excluding carrying costs due to vacancy or any other cause) paid by Tenant in connection with such assignment or sublease, which costs of additional improvements and leasing costs shall be amortized without interest over the term of such assignment or sublease, unless, with respect to such additional improvements, such additional improvements have a useful life greater than the term of such assignment or sublease, in which case such additional improvements shall be amortized without interest over their useful life. 13.4 No assignment or sublease whatsoever shall release Tenant from Tenant's obligations and liabilities under this Lease or alter the primary liability of Tenant to pay the rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease. Consent to one assignment or sublease shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent assignment or sublease. If any assignee of Tenant or any successor of Tenant defaults in the performance of any obligation to be performed by Tenant under this Lease, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of exhausting remedies against such assignee or successor. Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments or subleases or amendments or modifications to this Lease with assignees of Tenant, without notifying Tenant or any successor of Tenant and without obtaining any consent thereto from Tenant, and such action shall not release Tenant from liability under this Lease. ARTICLE 14 - Rules and Regulations 14.1 Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with the rules and regulations (the "Rules and Regulations") set forth in Exhibit "B" attached hereto and, after notice thereof, all modifications thereof and additions thereto from time to time made in writing by Landlord. If there is any conflict, this Lease shall prevail over the Rules and Regulations and any modifications thereof or additions thereto. Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for the noncompliance by any other tenant or occupant of the Building with any Rules and Regulations. 17 - OFFICE LEASE ARTICLE 15 - Entry by Landlord 15.1 Landlord may enter the Premises at any time to (a) inspect the Premises, (b) exhibit the Premises to prospective purchasers, lenders or tenants, (c) determine whether Tenant is performing all of its obligations hereunder, (d) supply any service to be provided by Landlord, (e) post notices of nonresponsibility, and (f) make any repairs to the Premises, or make any repairs to any adjoining space or utility services, or make any repairs, alterations or improvements to any other portion of the Building, provided all such work shall be done as promptly as reasonably practicable and so as to cause as little interference to Tenant as reasonably practicable. Tenant waives all claims for damages for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant's business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises or any other loss occasioned by such entry. Landlord shall at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in, on or about the Premises (excluding Tenant's vaults, safes, and similar areas designated in writing by Tenant and approved in writing by Landlord in advance), and Landlord shall have the right to use any and all means which Landlord may deem proper to open such doors in an emergency to obtain entry to the Premises. Any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by any of such 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, actual or constructive, of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof. ARTICLE 16 - Events of Default and Remedies 16.1 The occurrence of any one or more of the following events ("Event of Default") shall constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant: (a) Tenant fails to pay any Base Rent or additional monthly rent as and when such monthly rent becomes due and payable and such failure continues for more than three (3) days after Landlord gives written notice thereof to Tenant; provided, however, that after the second such failure in a calendar year, only the passage of time, but no further notice, shall be required to establish an Event of Default in the same calendar year; or (b) Tenant fails to pay any additional rent or other amount of money or charge payable by Tenant hereunder as and when such additional rent or amount or charge becomes due and payable and such failure continues for more than ten (10) days after Landlord gives written notice thereof to Tenant; provided, however, that after the second such failure in a calendar year, only the passage of time, but no further notice, shall be required to establish an Event of Default in the same calendar year; or (c) Tenant fails to perform or observe any other agreement, covenant or condition of this Lease to be performed or observed by Tenant as and when performance or observance is due and such failure continues for more than ten (10) days after Landlord gives written notice thereof to Tenant; provided, however, that if, by the nature of such agreement, covenant, or condition, such failure cannot reasonably be cured within such period of ten (10) days, an Event of Default 18 - OFFICE LEASE shall not exist as long as Tenant commences with due diligence and dispatch the curing of such failure within such period of ten (10) days and, having so commenced, thereafter prosecutes with diligence and dispatch and completes the curing of such failure; or (d) Tenant (i) is generally not paying its debts as they become due, (ii) files, or consents by answer or otherwise to the filing against it of, a petition for relief or reorganization or arrangement or any other petition in bankruptcy or liquidation or to take advantage of any bankruptcy, insolvency, or other debtors' relief law of any jurisdiction, (iii) makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, (iv) consents to the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or other officer with similar powers of Tenant or of any substantial part of Tenant's property, or (v) takes action for the purpose of any of the foregoing; or (e) With consent by Tenant, a court or governmental authority enters an order, and such order is not vacated within thirty (30) days, (i) appointing a custodian, receiver, trustee, or other officer with similar powers with respect to Tenant or with respect to any substantial part of Tenant's property, or (ii) constituting an order for relief or approving a petition for relief or reorganization or arrangement or any other petition in bankruptcy or for liquidation or to take advantage of any bankruptcy, insolvency or other debtors' relief law of any jurisdiction, or (iii) ordering the dissolution, winding-up, or liquidation of Tenant; or (f) This lease or any estate of Tenant hereunder is levied upon under any attachment or execution and such attachment or execution is not vacated within thirty (30) days 16.2 If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord at any time thereafter shall have the right to give a written termination notice to Tenant and on the date specified in such notice Tenant's right to possession shall terminate and this Lease shall terminate. Upon such termination, Landlord shall have the right to recover from Tenant; (a) The worth at the time of award of all unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of termination; (b) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which all unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; (c) The worth at the time of award of the amount by which all unpaid rent for the balance of the term of this Lease after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could be reasonably avoided; and (d) All other amounts necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom. The "worth at the time of award" of the amounts referred to in clauses (a) and (b) above shall be computed by allowing interest at 19 - OFFICE LEASE the maximum annual interest rate allowed by law for business loans (not primarily for personal, family or household purposes) not exempt from the usury law at the time of termination or, if there is no such maximum annual interest rate, at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum. The "worth at the time of award" of the amount referred to in clause (c) above 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%). For the purpose of determining unpaid rent under clauses (a), (b), and (c) above, the rent reserved in this Lease shall be deemed to be the total rent payable by Tenant under Articles 3 and 5 hereof. 16.3 Even though Tenant has breached this Lease, this Lease shall continue in effect for so long as Landlord does not terminate Tenant's right to possession, and Landlord shall have the right to enforce all its rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover all rent as it becomes due under this Lease. Acts of maintenance or preservation or efforts to relet the Premises or the appointment of a receiver upon initiative of Landlord to protect Landlord's interest under this lease shall not constitute a termination of Tenant's right to possession unless written notice of termination is given by Landlord to Tenant. 16.4 The remedies provided for in this Lease are in addition to all other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity by statue or otherwise. 16.5 All agreements, covenants, and conditions to be performed or observed by Tenant under this lease shall be 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 Tenant hereunder or fails to perform any other act on Tenant's part to be performed hereunder, Landlord shall have the right, but shall not be obligated, and without waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligations of Tenant, to make any such payment or to perform any such other act on Tenant's part to be made or performed in accordance with this Lease. All sums so paid by Landlord and all necessary incidental costs shall be deemed additional rent hereunder and shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord on demand, together with interest on all such sums from the date of expenditure by Landlord to the date of repayment by Tenant at the maximum annual interest rate allowed by law for business loans (not primarily for personal, family or household purposes) not exempt from the usury law at the date of expenditure or, if there is no such maximum annual interest rate, at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum. Landlord shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies of Landlord, the same rights and remedies in the event of the nonpayment of such sums plus interest by Tenant as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of rent. 16.6 If Tenant abandons or surrenders the Premises, or is dispossessed by process of law or otherwise, any movable furniture, equipment, trade fixtures, or personal property belonging to Tenant and left in the Premises shall be deemed to be abandoned, at the option of Landlord, and Landlord shall have the right to sell or otherwise dispose of such personal property in any commercially reasonable manner. 20 - OFFICE LEASE ARTICLE 17 - Eminent Domain 17.1 If thirty-three percent (33%) or less of the usable area of the Premises is taken by exercise of the power of eminent domain before the Commencement Date or during the term of this Lease, this Lease shall terminate as to the portion of the Premises so taken as of the date of such taking and shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises not so taken, and the Base Rent shall be reduced as of the date of such taking in the proportion that the usable area of the Premises so taken bears to the total usable area of the Premises. If more than thirty-three percent (33%), but less than all, of the usable area of the Premises is taken by exercise of the power of eminent domain before the Commencement Date or during the term of this Lease, Landlord and Tenant each shall have the right, by giving written notice to the other within thirty (30) days after the date of such taking, to terminate this Lease. If either Landlord or Tenant exercises such right to terminate this Lease in accordance with this Section 17.1, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such taking. If neither Landlord or Tenant exercises such right to terminate this Lease in accordance with this Section 17.1, this Lease shall terminate as to the portion of the Premises so taken as of the date of such taking and shall remain in full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises not so taken, and the Base Rent shall be reduced as of the date of such taking in the proportion that the usable area of the Premises so taken bears to the total usable area of the Premises. If all of the Premises is taken by exercise of the power of eminent domain before the Commencement Date or during the term of this Lease, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such taking. 17.2 If all or any part of the Premises is taken by exercise of the power of eminent domain, all awards, compensation, damages, income, rent, and interest payable in connection with such taking shall, except as expressly set forth in this Section 17.2, be paid to and become the property of Landlord, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of the foregoing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord or the entity exercising the power of eminent domain for the value of the leasehold estate created by this Lease or any unexpired term of this Lease. Tenant shall have the right to claim and receive directly from the entity exercising the power of eminent domain only the share of any award determined to be owing to Tenant for the taking of improvements installed in the portion of the Premises so taken by Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense based on the unamortized cost actually paid by Tenant for such improvements, for the taking of Tenant's movable furniture, equipment, trade fixtures, and personal property, for loss of goodwill, for interference with or interruption of Tenant's business, or for removal and relocation expenses. 17.3 As used in this Article 17, a "taking" means the acquisition of all or part of the Premises for a public use by exercise of the power of eminent domain and the taking shall be considered to occur as of the earlier of the date on which possession of the Premises (or part so taken) by the entity exercising the power of eminent domain is authorized as stated in an order for possession or the date on which title to the Premises (or part so taken) vests in the entity exercising the power of eminent domain. 21 - OFFICE LEASE ARTICLE 18 - Subordination, Merger and Sale 18.1 This Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of all mortgages and deeds of trust securing any amount or amounts whatsoever which may now exist or hereafter be placed on or against the Building or on or against Landlord's interest or estate therein, all without the necessity of having further instruments executed by Tenant to effect such subordination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed of trust or of any other action or proceeding for the enforcement thereof, or of any sale thereunder, this Lease shall not be terminated or extinguished, nor shall the rights and possession of Tenant hereunder be disturbed, if no event of Default then exists under this Lease, and Tenant shall attorn to the person who acquires Landlord's interest hereunder through any such mortgage or deed of trust. Tenant agrees to execute, acknowledge, and deliver upon demand such further instruments evidencing such subordination of this Lease to the lien of all such mortgages and deeds of trust as may reasonably be required by Landlord, but Tenant's covenant to subordinate this Lease to mortgages or deeds of trust hereafter executed is conditioned upon each such senior mortgage or deed of trust, or a separate subordination agreement, containing the commitments specified in the preceding sentence. 18.2 The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or a mutual cancellation thereof, shall not work a merger and shall, at the option of Landlord, terminate all or any existing subleases or subtenancies or operate as an assignment to Landlord of any or all such subleases or subtenancies. 18.3 If the original Landlord hereunder, or any successor owner of the Building, sells or conveys the Building, all liabilities and obligations on the part of the original Landlord, or such successor owner, under this Lease accruing after such sale or conveyance shall terminate and the original Landlord, or such successor owner, shall automatically be released therefrom, and thereupon all such liabilities and obligations shall be binding upon the new owner. Tenant agrees to attorn to such new owner. ARTICLE 19 - Estoppel Certificate 19.1 At any time and from time to time but in any event within ten (10) days after written request by Landlord, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord, promptly upon request, a certificate certifying: (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in full force and effect as modified, and stating the date and nature of each modification); (b) the Commencement Date and the Expiration Date determined in accordance with Article 2 hereof and the date, if any, to which all rent and other sums payable hereunder have been paid; (c) that no notice has been received by Tenant of any default by Tenant hereunder which has not been cured, except as to defaults specified in such certificate; (d) that Landlord is not in default hereunder, except as to defaults specified in such certificate; and (e) such other matters as may be reasonably requested by Landlord or any actual or prospective purchaser or mortgage lender. Any such certificate may be 22 - OFFICE LEASE relied upon by Landlord and any actual or prospective purchaser, mortgagee or beneficiary under any deed of trust of the Building or any part thereof. ARTICLE 20 - Holding Over 20.1 If, without objection by Landlord, Tenant holds possession of the Premises after expiration of the term of this Lease, Tenant shall become a tenant from month to month upon the terms herein specified but at a Base Rent equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent payable by Tenant at the expiration of the term of this Lease pursuant to Article 3 hereof, payable in advance on or before the first day of each month. Such month to month tenancy may be terminated by either Landlord or Tenant by giving thirty (30) days' written notice of termination to the other at any time ARTICLE 21- Waiver 21.1 The waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any breach of any covenant in this Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other covenant in this Lease, nor shall any custom or practice which may grow up between Landlord and Tenant in the administration of this Lease be construed to waive or to lessen the right of Landlord or Tenant to insist upon the performance by Landlord or Tenant in strict accordance with this Lease. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by Landlord or the payment of rent by Tenant shall not waive any preceding breach by Tenant of any covenant in this Lease, nor cure any Event of Default, nor waive any forfeiture of this Lease or unlawful detainer action, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rent so accepted, regardless of Landlord's or Tenant's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance or payment of such rent. ARTICLE 22 - Force Majeure 22.1 Whenever a day is appointed herein on which, or a period of time is appointed within which, either party hereto is required to do or complete any act, matter or thing, the time for the doing or completion thereof shall be extended by a period of time equal to the number of days on or during which such party is prevented from, or is unreasonable interfered with, the doing or completion of such act, matter or thing because of strikes, lock-outs, embargoes, unavailability of labor or materials, wars, insurrections, rebellions, civil disorder, declaration of national emergencies, acts of God, or other causes beyond such party's reasonable control (financial inability excepted); provided, however, nothing contained in this Section 22.1 shall excuse Tenant from the prompt payment of any rental or other charge required of Tenant hereunder except as may be expressly provided elsewhere in this Lease. ARTICLE 23 - Notices 23.1 All notices and other communications which may or are required to be given by either Landlord or Tenant to the other under this Lease shall be deemed to have been 23 - OFFICE LEASE fully given when made in writing and hand delivered or deposited in the United States Mail, postage prepaid, certified with return receipt requested, and addressed as follows: to Tenant at the address of Tenant specified in the Basic Lease Information, or at such other place as Tenant may from time to time designate in a notice to Landlord, or, after the Commencement Date at the Premises; to Landlord at the address of Landlord specified in the Basic Lease Information, or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in a notice to Tenant. ARTICLE 24 - Miscellaneous 24.1 The words "Landlord" and "Tenant" as used herein shall include the plural as well as the singular. Tenant shall indemnify and defend Landlord against and hold Landlord harmless from all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or resulting from any failure by Tenant to perform any of its obligations or any breach by Tenant of any of its representations or warranties in accordance with this Lease. If there is more than one Tenant, the obligations hereunder imposed upon Tenant shall be joint and several. Time is of the essence of this Lease and each and all of its provisions. Submission of this instrument for examination or signature by Tenant does not constitute a reservation of or option for lease, and it is not effective as a lease or otherwise until execution and delivery by both Landlord and Tenant. Subject to Article 13 hereof, this Lease shall benefit and bind Landlord and Tenant and the personal representatives, heirs, successors, and assigns or Landlord and Tenant. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, use the name of the Building for any purposes other than as the address of the business to be conducted by Tenant in the Premises. If any provision of this Lease is determined to be illegal or unenforceable, such determination shall not affect any other provision of this Lease and all such other provisions shall remain in full force and effect. If Tenant requests the consent or approval of Landlord to any assignment, sublease or other action by Tenant, Tenant shall pay on demand to Landlord all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Landlord in connection therewith. This Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. 24.2 Tenant acknowledges that the late payment by Tenant of any monthly installment of Base Rent or additional monthly rent will cause Landlord to incur costs and expenses, the exact amount of which is extremely difficult and impractical to fix. Such costs and expenses will include, without limitation, administration and collection costs and processing, and accounting expenses. Therefore, if any monthly installment of Base Rent or additional monthly rent is not received by Landlord from Tenant within ten (10) days after such installment is due, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord a late charge equal to four percent (4%) of such delinquent installment. Landlord and Tenant agree that such late charge represents a reasonable estimate of such costs and expenses and is fair compensation to Landlord for its loss suffered by Tenant's failure to make timely payment. In no event shall such late charge be deemed to grant to Tenant a grace period or extension of time within which to pay any monthly rent or prevent Landlord from exercising any right or remedy available to Landlord upon Tenant's failure to pay each installment of monthly rent due under this Lease in a timely fashion, including the right to 24 - OFFICE LEASE terminate this Lease. All amounts of money payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, if not paid when due, shall bear interest from the due date until paid at the maximum annual interest rate allowed by law for business loans (not primarily for person, family or household purposes) not exempt from the usury law at such due date or, if there is no such maximum annual interest rate, at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum. 24.3 If there is any legal action or proceeding between Landlord and Tenant to enforce any provision of this Lease or to protect or establish any right or remedy of either Landlord or Tenant hereunder, the unsuccessful party to such action or proceeding shall pay to the prevailing party all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by such prevailing party in such action or proceeding and in any appeal in connection therewith. If such prevailing party recovers a judgment in any such action, proceeding or appeal, such costs, expenses and attorneys' fees shall be included in and as a part of such judgment. 24.4 Exhibit "A" (Plan(s) Outlining the Premises), and Exhibit "B" (Rules and Regulations) are attached to and made a part of this Lease. 24.5 Tenant warrants and represents to Landlord that Tenant has negotiated this Lease directly with Landlord and that no real estate broker are agent has been engaged by Tenant in connection with this Lease. Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from any breach by Tenant of the foregoing representation and warranty. 24.6 If Tenant is a corporation, Tenant and each person executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant represents and warrants that (a) Tenant is duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws of its state of incorporation, (b) Tenant is qualified to do business in California, (c) Tenant has full corporate right, power and authority to enter into this Lease and to perform all of Tenant's obligations hereunder, and (d) each person signing this Lease on behalf of the corporation is duly and validly authorized to do so. 23.7 There are no oral agreements between Landlord and Tenant affecting this Lease, and this Lease supersedes and cancels any and all previous negotiations, arrangements, brochures, offers, agreements and understandings, oral or written, if any, between Landlord and Tenant or displayed by Landlord to Tenant with respect to the subject matter of this Lease, the Premises or the Building. There are no representations between Landlord and Tenant or between any real estate broker and Tenant other than those expressly set forth in this Lease and all reliance with respect to any representations is solely upon representations expressly set forth in this Lease. This Lease may not be amended or modified in any respect whatsoever except by an instrument in writing signed by Landlord and Tenant. 24.8 Clauses, plats, and riders, if any, signed or initialed by Landlord and Tenant and affixed to this lease are a part hereof. 25 - OFFICE LEASE 24.9 Tenant shall be entitled to the non-exclusive use of sixty-eight (68) unreserved parking spaces in the parking area serving the Building during Tenant's occupancy of the Premises pursuant to any rules and regulations Landlord may establish with respect to the use of such parking spaces. Such parking spaces shall be provided to Tenant at no charge through the term of this Lease. 24.10 No determination by any court, governmental body, or otherwise that any provision of this lease or any amendment hereof is invalid or unenforceable in any instance shall affect the validity or enforceability of any other such provision or such provision in any circumstance not controlled by such determination. Each such provision shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent allowed by, and shall be construed wherever possible as being consistent with, applicable law. ARTICLE 25 - Quiet Enjoyment 25.1 Landlord hereby covenants that Tenant, on paying rent and all other sums owing hereunder and performing the covenants set forth herein, shall peaceably and quietly hold and enjoy the Premises throughout the Term and such rights as the Tenant may hold hereunder with respect to the remainder of the Building. ARTICLE 26 - Right of First Refusal 26.1 Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Tenant shall, during the Term of this Lease, have a Right of First Refusal in regard to all space located on the second floor of the Building (the "Adjacent Space"). 26.2 If during the Term of this Lease Landlord has reached a preliminary agreement with a bona fide prospective tenant ("Prospective Tenant'") as to the essential terms of a proposal for leasing all or any portion of the Adjacent Space, which Landlord intends shall serve as the basis for negotiating a lease with the Prospective Tenant (such preliminary agreement to be referred to herein as a "Proposal"), Landlord shall first provide Tenant with a notice ("Landlord's Notice") which informs Tenant of the Proposal and sets forth the basic elements of such Proposal, including without limitation, an approximate description of the space subject to the Proposal (the "Prospective Tenant Premises"), the total proposed rentable square feet, the term, base rent, options to extend, expand, or terminate, the amount of any allowances, and any other material concessions or elements. Within ten (10) business days following Landlord's Notice, Tenant shall have the right to lease the Prospective Tenant Premises upon the terms set forth in Landlord's Notice, and subject to the provisions set forth below in this Article 26, by providing Landlord with written notice of its intent to exercise such right. Should Tenant indicate that it is not prepared to lease the Prospective Tenant Premises, whether by written notice to Landlord or by failing to respond to Landlord's Notice within the said ten (10)-business day period, then Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its Right of First Refusal, with respect to the Prospective Tenant Premises. 26 - OFFICE LEASE 26.3 In each event that Tenant exercises its Right of First Refusal, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an amendment to this Lease adding the Prospective Tenant Premises to the Premises, subject to all of the terms and conditions, including Lease Term, which were set forth in the applicable Landlord's Notice. The effective date of Tenant's leasing of the Prospective Tenant Premises (the "Refusal Space Effective Date") shall be the earlier of:(i) the date Tenant begins to operate its business from the Prospective Tenant Premises; or (ii) the date Landlord delivers possession of the Prospective Tenant Premises to Tenant with any and all agreed upon improvements substantially complete. 26.4 Except as specifically provided otherwise in the applicable Landlord's Notice, any Prospective Tenant Premises leased by Tenant pursuant to this Article 26 shall be leased in"as-is" condition, and all other improvements in the applicable portion of the Prospective Tenant Premises shall be Tenant's responsibility at Tenant's cost, and shall be made in accordance with the terms of this Lease. The rights of Tenant under this Article 26 are personal to Tenant and shall not be severed from this Lease or separately sold, assigned, or otherwise transferred. 26.5 The rights of Tenant hereunder are subject to the rights of other tenants with respect to the Adjacent Space pursuant to leases in existence as of the date of this Lease. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have executed this Office Lease as of the date first hereinabove written.

Atlas Title: Sr. Vice President 27 - OFFICE LEASE First Amendment to Lease THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE, dated as of the 15rh day of January, 1999, is between PROPERTY CALIFORNIA OB ONE CORPORATION, an Oregon corporation ("Landlord") and INDYMAC, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Tenant"). R E C I T A L S A. Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain written lease agreement dated July 8, 1998 (the "Lease"), pursuant to which Landlord leased unto Tenant and Tenant leased from Landlord approximately 19,361 rentable square feet of space commonly known as Suite 101 (the "Premises") located in that certain office building known as 15050 Avenue of Science located in San Diego, California (the "Building"), as more particularly described in the Lease. B. Pursuant to the Work Letter attached to the Lease as Exhibit "C", Landlord was to complete certain Initial Improvements (as defined in paragraph 1.1 of the Work Letter) within the Premises before the Commencement Date of the Lease. At the time the Lease was executed, the parties anticipated that Landlord would complete all of the Initial Improvements at one time. Due to unforseen circumstances, the parties agreed that the Initial Improvements would be completed in phases. Prior to the date of this Amendment, the parties agreed to a phase build out of the Premises. However, due to further unforeseen circumstances affecting Tenant, the parties did not reach agreement on the final price or construction schedule for the phased build out of the Premises. Notwithstanding such unforeseen circumstances, Landlord has been and is ready, willing, and able to construct the Initial Improvements pursuant to a phased build out of the Premises. C. Tenant has recently disclosed to Landlord that due to unforeseen circumstances affecting Tenant, Tenant is re-evaluating Tenant's overall space needs in the Building. Tenant has requested that Landlord delay the construction of the Initial Improvements and grant Tenant additional time to re-evaluate its space needs. Landlord is willing to delay such construction if Tenant commences the payment of Base Rent for the Premises as set forth in this Amendment and advises Landlord by March l, 1999, regarding its space needs and the Construction Schedule. A G R E E M E N T NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the facts mentioned above, the mutual promises set forth below and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto do agree as follows: 1 - FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE 1.

(b) The parties agree to discuss and revise the build out provisions in the Lease, as amended, to document the mutual decisions of the parties related to Tenant's space needs and build out schedule. 4. Composition of Premises. The Premises, measuring a total of 19,361 rentable square feet, consist of the following individual spaces: 11,184 rentable square feet (the "Original Space"); 4,308 square feet (the "Phase I Space"), and 3,869 square feet (the "Phase H Space"). The Original Space consists of two parts. A portion of the Original Space (627 square feet) is currently on a month-to-month rental agreement. The balance, 10,557 is covered by a lease agreement reflecting a base rent of $1.30/square foot per month. 5. Original Space. Tenant shall continue to pay Landlord the rent required under the prior lease and rental agreement for the Original Space, which amount is Fourteen Thousand Seven Hundred Fifty-eight and 65/100 Dollars ($14,758.65) per month. Beginning April 1, 1999 and continuing for the term of the Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord monthly Base Rent for the Original Space, equal to the sum of 11,184 square feet multiplied by $1.60 per month, which amount is part of the monthly base rent set forth in paragraph 7 below. 6. Phase I Space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease, beginning on January 15, 1999 (the "Phase I Rent Commencement Date"), Tenant shall pay Landlord monthly Base Rent in the amount of Six Thousand Eight Hundred Ninety-two and 80/100 Dollars ($6,892.80) for the Phase I Space. The Januarv. 1999 rent payment for the Phase I Space will be prorated. The monthly rental for the Phase I Space will be in addition to the rental for the Original Space. 7. Phase II Space Build-Out. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease, beginning on the April l, 1999 Phase 11 Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Landlord monthly Base Rent in the aggregate amount of Thirty Thousand Nine Hundred 2 - FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE Seventy-seven and 60/100 Dollars (530,977.60), which is equal to the square footage of the entire Premises (19,361) multiplied by $1.60. 8. Tenant's Percentage Share. Tenant's Percentage Share of Building Operating Expenses defined in the Basic Lease Information of the Lease shall be re-defined as 13.15% (determined by dividing the rentable area of the Original Space and the Phase I Space by the rentable area of the Building) from the Phase 1 Commencement Date until the Phase II Rent Commencement Date. As of the Phase II Rent Commencement Date, Tenant's Percentage Share of Building Operating Expenses shall be defined as 16.44% (determined by dividing the rentable area of the entire Premises by the rentable area of the Building). 9. Five-Year Term; Document Conflict. For the purposes of computing the five-year term of the Lease, the Commencement Date shall be deemed to be April 1, 1999, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease or the prior lease agreements between the parties. The parties agree that in the event of a conflict between the Lease, as amended, and the prior lease and/or the rental agreement related to the Original Space, the Lease, as amended, will control. 10. No Further Modifications. Except as otherwise set forth in this Amendment, the terms and conditions of the Lease remain unchanged and in full force and effect. 11. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which when executed and delivered shall together constitute one and the same instrument. 12. Authority. Each parry represents that the person executing this Amendment for such party is acting on behalf of such party and is duly authorized to execute this Amendment for such party.
