Nothing in this paragraph 6.2 shall prevent Tenant from obtaining insurance
of the kind and in the amounts provided for under this paragraph under a blanket
insurance policy covering other properties as well as the Leased Premises,
provided, however, that any such policy of blanket insurance (i) shall specify
the amounts of the total insurance allocated to the Leased Premises, which
amounts shall not be less than the amounts required by sections a. through c.
hereof, and (ii) such amounts so specified shall be sufficient to prevent any
one of the assureds from becoming a co-insurer within the terms of the
applicable policy, and (iii) shall, as to the Leased Premises, otherwise comply
as to endorsements and coverage with the provisions of this paragraph.
Tenant's insurance shall be with a Best's Insurance Reports A+ rated
company (or A rated, if Class XIII or larger or with Design Professional
Insurance Company, or its successor). Landlord and Landlord's mortgagee, if
any, shall be named as "additional insureds" under Tenant's insurance, and such
Tenant's insurance shall be primary and non-contributing with Landlord's
insurance. Tenant's insurance policies shall contain endorsements requiring 30
days notice to Landlord and Landlord's mortgagee, if any, prior to any
cancellation, lapse or nonrenewal or any reduction in amount of coverage.
Tenant shall deliver to Landlord as a condition precedent to its taking
occupancy of the Leased Premises a certificate or certificates evidencing such
insurance.
6.3 REPAIRS: Tenant, at its sole expense, agrees to maintain the interior
of the Leased Premises in a neat, clean and sanitary condition. If Tenant fails
to maintain or keep the Leased Premises in good repair and such failure
continues for 10 days after written notice from Landlord or if such failure
results in a nuisance or health or safety risk, Landlord may perform any such
required maintenance and repairs and the cost thereof shall be payable by Tenant
as Rent within 10 days of receipt of an invoice from Landlord. Tenant shall
also pay to Landlord the costs of any repair ordinary wear and tear excepted to
the Building or Project necessitated by any act or neglect of Tenant. Tenant
waives the provisions of Sections 1941 of the Civil Code of the State of
California and any other statutes or laws permitting repairs by a tenant at the
expense of a landlord or to terminate a lease by reason of the condition of the
Leased Premises.
6.4 ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING: Tenant shall not assign, mortgage, pledge
or encumber this Lease, or permit all or any part of the Leased Premises to be
subleased to another, without the prior written consent of Landlord and
Landlord's mortgagee, if any. Any transfer of this Lease by merger,
consolidation, reorganization or liquidation of Tenant, or by operation of law,
or change in ownership of or power to vote the majority of the outstanding
voting stock of a
12
corporate Tenant, or by change in ownership of a controlling partnership
interest in a partnership Tenant, shall constitute an assignment for the
purposes of this paragraph. Tenant may sublet or assign, without Landlord's
approval, but with notice to Landlord to any entity in which it holds, or its
shareholders hold, at least a 33% interest.
Landlord agrees that it will not unreasonably withhold its consent to
Tenant's assigning this Lease or subletting the Leased Premises. In addition to
other reasonable bases, Tenant hereby agrees that Landlord shall be deemed to be
reasonable in withholding its consent, if (a) (Sic.) or (c) to any party who is
then a tenant of the Building or the Project if Landlord has comparable area; or
(d) Tenant is in default under any of the terms, covenants, conditions,
provisions and agreements of this Lease past any period of cure provided for
herein at the time of request for consent or on the effective date of such
subletting or assigning; or (e) (Sic.) or (f) the proposed subtenant or assignee
is, in Landlord's good faith judgment, incompatible with other tenants in the
Building, or seeks to use any portion of the Leased Premises for a use not
consistent with other uses in the Building, or is financially incapable of
assuming the obligations of this Lease. Tenant shall submit to Landlord the
name of a proposed assignee or subtenant, the terms of the proposed assignment
or subletting, the nature of the proposed subtenant's business and such
information as to the assignee's or subtenant's financial responsibility and
general reputation as Landlord may reasonably require.
No subletting or assignment, even with the consent of Landlord, shall
relieve Tenant of its primary obligation to pay the Rent and to perform all of
the other obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The acceptance of
rent by Landlord from any other person shall not be deemed to be waiver by
Landlord of any provision of this Lease or to be a consent to any assignment,
subletting or other transfer. Consent to one assignment, subletting or other
transfer shall not be deemed to constitute consent to any subsequent assignment,
subletting or other transfer.
6.5 ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE: From time to time and within 10 days after
request by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver a certificate to any
proposed lender or purchaser, or to Landlord, together with a true and correct
copy of this Lease, certifying with any appropriate exceptions, (i) that this
Lease is in full force and effect without modification, (ii) the amount, if any,
of Prepaid Rent and Deposit paid by Tenant to Landlord, (iii) the nature and
kind of concessions, rental or otherwise, if any, which Tenant has received or
is entitled to receive, (iv) that Landlord has performed all of its obligations
due to be performed under this Lease and that there are no defenses,
counterclaims, deductions or offsets outstanding or other excuses for Tenant's
performance under this Lease, and (v) any other fact reasonably requested by
Landlord or such proposed lender or purchaser.
13
6.6 BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS: Tenant represents to the Landlord that no
broker or agent was instrumental in procuring or negotiating or consummating
this Lease other than Broker of Record, and Tenant agrees to defend and
indemnify Landlord against any loss, expense or liability incurred by Landlord
as a result of a claim by any other broker or finder in connection with this
Lease or its negotiation.
ARTICLE SEVEN

without liability to Tenant or without effecting an eviction or disturbance of
Tenant's use or possession, Landlord shall have the right to (i) grant utility
easements or other easements in, or replat, subdivide or make other changes in
the legal status of the land underlying the Building or the Project as Landlord
shall deem appropriate in its sole discretion, provided such changes do not
substantially interfere with Tenant's use of the Leased Premises for the
Permitted Purpose; (ii) enter the Leased Premises at reasonable times and at any
time in the event of an emergency to inspect, alter or repair the Leased
Premises or the Building and to perform any acts related to the safety,

Project and the preservation of good order therein.
ARTICLE EIGHT
CASUALTY AND UNTENANTABILITY
8.1 CASUALTY AND UNTENANTABILITY: If the Building is made substantially
untenantable or if Tenant's use and occupancy of the Leased Premises are
substantially interfered with due to damage to the common areas of the Building
or the Leased Premises are made wholly or partially untenantable by fire or
other casualty, Landlord may, by notice to Tenant within 60 days after the
damage, terminate this Lease. Such termination shall become effective as of the
date of such casualty. If at any time during the last six months of the term of
this Lease, there is damage, which the Leased Premises are made partially
untenantable, Landlord may at Landlord's option cancel and terminate this Lease
as of the date of occurrence of such damage by giving written notice to Tenant
of Landlord's election to do so within 30 days after the date of occurrence of
such damage. In the event that Tenant has an option to renew this Lease, and the
time within which said option may be exercised has not yet expired, Tenant shall
exercise such option, if it is to be exercised at all, no later than 20 days
after the occurrence of said damage during the last six months of the term of
this Lease. If Tenant duly exercises such option during said 20 day period,
Landlord shall repair such damage as
14
soon as reasonably possible and this Lease shall continue in full force and
effect. If Tenant fails to exercise such option during said 20 day period, then
Landlord may, at Landlord's option, terminate and cancel this Lease as of the
expiration of said 20 day period by giving written notice to Tenant of
Landlord's election to do so.
If the Leased Premises are made partially or wholly untenantable by fire or
other casualty and this Lease is not terminated as provided above, Landlord
shall restore the Leased Premises to the condition specified in the work letter
described in SCHEDULE 6. Tenant waives the provisions of Section 1932 of the
Civil Code of the State of California and any other statute or law permitting
Tenant to terminate this lease in the event of casualty to the Leased Premises.
If the Landlord does not terminate this Lease as provided above, and
Landlord fails within 180 days from the date of such casualty to restore the
damaged common areas thereby eliminating substantial interference with Tenant's
use and occupancy of the Leased Premises, or fails to restore the Leased
Premises to the condition specified in the work letter described in SCHEDULE 6,
Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the end of such 180 day period.
In the event of termination of this Lease pursuant to this article 8, Rent
shall be prorated on a per diem basis and paid to the date of the casualty,
unless the Leased Premises shall be tenantable, in which case Rent shall be
payable to the date of the lease termination. If the Leased Premises are
untenantable and this Lease is not terminated, Rent shall xxxxx on a per diem
basis from the date of the casualty until the Leased Premises are ready for
occupancy by Tenant. If part of the Leased Premises are untenantable, Rent
shall be prorated on a per diem basis and apportioned in accordance with the
part of the Leased Premises which is usable by Tenant until the damaged part is
ready for Tenant's occupancy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any damage was
proximately caused by an act or omission of Tenant, its employees, agents,
contractors, licensees or invitees, then, in such event, Tenant agrees that Rent
shall not xxxxx or be diminished during the term of this Lease.
ARTICLE NINE
CONDEMNATION
9.1 CONDEMNATION: If all or any part of the Leased Premises shall be taken
under power of eminent domain or sold under imminent threat to any public
authority or private entity having such power, this Lease shall terminate as to
the part of the Leased Premises so taken or sold, effective as of the date
possession is required to be delivered to such authority. In such event, Base
Rent and Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Building Operating Costs or Project
Operating Costs shall xxxxx in the ratio that the portion of Tenant's Square
Footage taken or sold bears to Tenant's Square Footage. If a partial taking or
sale of the Leased Premises, the Building or the Project (i) substantially
reduces Tenant's Square Footage resulting in a
15
substantial inability of Tenant to use the Leased Premises for the Permitted
Purpose, or (ii) renders the Building or the Project commercially unviable to
Landlord in Landlord's sole opinion, either Tenant in the case of (i), or
Landlord in the case of (ii), may terminate this Lease by notice to the other
party within 30 days after the terminating party receives written notice of the
portion to be taken or sold. Such termination shall be effective 180 days after
notice thereof, or when the portion is taken or sold, whichever is sooner. All
condemnation awards and similar payments shall be paid and belong to Landlord,
except any amounts awarded or paid specifically to Tenant for removal and
reinstallation of Tenant's trade fixtures, personal property or Tenant's moving
costs.

Premises shall contain appropriate waiver of subrogation clauses.

assets of Landlord for satisfaction of any liability in respect of this Lease.
Tenant will not seek recourse against the individual partners, shareholders,
directors, officers, employees or agents of Landlord or any of their personal
assets for such satisfaction. Notwithstanding any other

understood that Landlord's acts of maintenance or preservation of the Leased
Premises or efforts to relet the same, or the appointment of a receiver upon the

reasonably avoided.
17
The remedies granted to Landlord herein in an Event of Default by Tenant
are nonexclusive of any other legal remedies or rights available in law or
equity to Landlord. No act of Landlord shall be deemed an act terminating this
lease or declaring the lease term ended unless a written notice is served upon

terminate this lease or to declare the term ended.

Landlord in the event that either Tenant files for protection under the Federal
Bankruptcy Act during the Lease Term or if there has been an Event of Default

event, the Unamortized TI shall become immediately due and payable as set forth
below and said amount shall bear interest from the date of filing for protection
or Event of Default until paid at a rate of 2% per month:
3
Month of Default Unamortized IT
---------------- --------------
6/1/93 -4/31/94 $ 250,854.15
5/l/94 -4/31/95 215,017.84
5/l/95 -4/31/96 179,181.54
5/l/96 -4/31/97 143,345.23
5/1/97 -4/31/98 107,508.92
5/l/98 -4/31/99 71,672.61
5/l/99 -4/20/00 35,836.31
If there is an Event of Default under the Lease and Landlord does not
terminate the Lease by judicial process, the Unamortized TI, as determined
above, shall bear interest at the rate of 2% per month from the date of the
Event of Default until the default has been cured. Said interest shall be paid
monthly with the Base Rent and failure to so pay will be deemed another Event of
Default under Paragraph 11.1 of the Lease. The interest paid under this
Paragraph shall be in addition to any Interest payable by Tenant to Landlord
under any other provision of the Lease or this Lease Amendment No. 3.
12. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that as of May 31, 1993, Tenant owes
Landlord for delinquent rent for the Old Leased Promises in the amount of

delinquent rent and interest collectively referred to as "Delinquent Rent").
Subject to Paragraph 13 hereof, the Delinquent Rent shall be a contingent
liability of Tenant and thus can only be asserted by Landlord in the event that
either Tenant files for protection under the Federal Bankruptcy Act during the
Lease Term or if there has been an Event of Default under the Lease and Landlord
terminates the Lease by judicial process. In such event, the Delinquent Rent
shall become immediately due and payable as set forth below and said amount
shall bear interest from the date of filing for protection or Event of Default
until paid at a rate of 2% per month:
Month of Default Delinquent Rent
---------------- ---------------
6/1/93 -4/31/94 $ 853,842.86
5/l/94 -4/31/95 731,865.31
5/l/95 -4/31/96 609,887.76
5/l/96 -4/31/97 487,910.21
5/1/97 -4/31/98 365,932.66
5/l/98 -4/31/99 243,955.11
5/l/99 -4/20/00 121,977.56
If there is an Event of Default under the Lease and Landlord does not
terminate the Lease by judicial process, the Delinquent Rent, as determined
above, shall bear interest at a rate of 2% per month from the date of the Event
of Default until the default has been cured. Said interest shall be paid monthly
with the Base Rent and failure to so pay will be deemed another Event of Default
under Paragraph 11.1 of the Lease. The interest paid under this Paragraph shall
be in addition to any interest payable by Tenant to Landlord under any other
provisions of the Lease or Lease Amendment No. 3.
13. There shall be no liability, contingent or otherwise, of Tenant to
Landlord related to the Unamortized TI and the Delinquent Rent for the Old
Leased Premises, as set forth in Paragraphs 11 and 12
hereof, at any time after the effective date of a registration statement
for a public offering of shares of stock in Tenant (or any related entity which
is a signatory to the Lease or which becomes a
4
successor to Tenant) provided that at least $5,000,000 of new capital is raised
for Tenant by such registration of its securities. This waiver of liability
shall not apply to the Relocation fund. In the event less than $5,000,000 of new
capital is raised, the Unamortized TI and the Delinquent Rent for the Old Leased
Premises shall remain due and payable in accordance with the terms of this
Amendment.
14. It is the intent of Landlord to enter into a 10 year lease with Canon
Computer Systems, Inc. ("Canon Lease") for all of the Old Leased Premises which
shall include an expansion option for space in Building A. Landlord shall have
the right to terminate this Lease between the 60th and the 72nd months of the
Canon Lease term. Landlord shall provide Tenant with the commencement date of
the term of the Canon Lease when available. Landlord shall give six months prior
written notice to Tenant of its intent to terminate the Lease pursuant to this
Paragraph. In the event Landlord terminates the Lease and Tenant is not in
default of the Lease on the date the Lease terminates, the Unamortized TI and
Delinquent Rent for the old Leased Premises shall be forgiven.
15. Paragraph 6.1(g) of the Lease shall be deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the following:
Tenant shall have the non exclusive right to install, at its sole cost and
expense, or from the Relocation Fund, its name on the exterior of the Building
subject to Landlord's reasonable approval of the size, specifications and
location of such sign and in accordance with the sign ordinance for the Project,
as approved by the City of Costa Mesa, and any other applicable governmental
authorities. Tenant must obtain the prior approval of the Landlord before
placing any other sign or symbol in doors or windows or elsewhere in or about
the Leased Premises, or upon any other part of the Building, or Project
including building directories. Any Signs or symbols which have been placed
without Landlord's approval may be removed by Landlord. During the Lease Term,
the cost of maintenance and repair of all signage shall be Tenant's cost. Upon
expiration or termination of the Lease, all signs installed by Tenant shall be
removed and any damage resulting therefrom shall be promptly repaired or such
removal and repair may be done by Landlord and the cost charged to Tenant as
Rent.
16. The Addendum to Lease, which was incorporated into the original Lease
at the time of its execution, and which includes Paragraphs 14.1 Base Rent, 14.2
Right of Refusal, 14.3 Rental Abatement, 14.4 Cancellation Provision, 14.5

revised Schedule 13 attached hereto and made a part hereof.

Commencement Date as set forth in Paragraph 3 hereof and said vacation shall
comply with Paragraph 12.1 of the Lease. Provided Landlord has not inhibited
Tenant from occupying the Leased Premises, Tenant's failure to
5
comply with said vacation shall be deemed an Event of Default under Paragraph
11.1 of the Lease; and, in addition to the obligations set forth in Paragraph 21
hereof, Tenant shall be obligated to comply with all the terms and conditions of
the Old Lease, as hereinafter defined, except that Tenant shall be deemed to be
holding over pursuant to Paragraph 12.2 of the Old Lease and shall be subject to
the accelerated Rent, until Tenant vacates and surrenders the Old Leased
Premises pursuant to the Old Lease terms. The term "Old Lease" shall mean lease
reference in the recitals of this Amendment No. 3.
20. Landlord shall have the right to declare this Lease Amendment No. 3
null and void if Landlord does not enter into the Canon Lease; provided that
Landlord reimburses Tenant for all actual reasonable costs paid by Tenant in
conjunction with moving to the Leased Premises.
21. The rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant relating to
insurance, indemnification, removal of property, holding-over and brokers shall
continue to apply to all claims arising from the period in which Tenant occupied
the Old Leased Premises.

the Renewal Period, within the time periods set forth above, then this
Option to Renew and any other rights of Tenant under the Lease in the nature
