ITEM 1. BUSINESS

DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUSINESS

     Fair,  Isaac and  Company  (NASDAQ:  FICI) is a leading  developer  of data
management  systems  and  services  for  the  consumer  credit,  personal  lines
insurance,  and direct marketing 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.

     More than half of fiscal  1995  revenues  were  derived  from  usage-priced
products and services  marketed through alliances with major U.S. credit bureaus
and third-party credit card processors.  Sales of decision  management  products
and services directly to credit industry  end-users  accounted for approximately
30 percent of revenues.

     In  recent  years  Fair,  Isaac  has  branched  out,  applying  its  proven
risk/reward modeling capabilities to auto and home insurance underwriting, small
business lending, and home mortgage financing.  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  $17.8  million or 16 percent of Fair,
Isaac's fiscal 1995 revenues.  Insurance  group revenues in 1995 were just under
$3 million or 2.6 percent of revenues.

     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 more than 25 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,  are designed to meet the needs of relatively
small users of scoring systems.

     Approximately  13 percent of Fair,  Isaac's  fiscal 1995 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.

     Since 1990, Fair, Isaac's revenues and earnings per share have increased at
a  compound  rate  of 35  percent  and 50  percent,  respectively.  The  Company
attributes  this growth to rising market  demand for credit  scoring and account
management  services;  success in increasing its share of 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. The 26 percent increases in revenues and net income achieved in fiscal
1995 are closer to the Company's  long-term  historical growth rates and more in
line with the rates that management believes can be sustained in the future.

     Because Fair,  Isaac  already  holds the major share of the maturing  North
American credit scoring and account management markets,  management believes the
Company's  long-term  growth  prospects  will largely rest on its ability to (a)
develop  additional,  high value products and services for its present  customer
base; (b) increase its  penetration  of  established or emerging  credit markets
outside the U.S. and Canada;  and (c) develop new markets and  

                                       3

applications for its technologies--direct  marketing,  insurance, small business
lending and health care information being prime examples.

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, database management,
and personalized printing services to businesses engaged in direct marketing.

     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 and direct marketing. Consumer
credit  accounted for over 80 percent of the  Company's  revenues in each of the
three years in the period ended  September  30, 1995.  Sales to customers in the
direct  marketing  business,  including the marketing arms of financial  service
businesses,  accounted for about 16 percent of revenues in fiscal 1995 and 1994,
and 12 percent in fiscal 1993.  Revenues  from sales to the  insurance  industry
accounted  for less than three percent of revenues in each of the three years in
the period ended September 30, 1995.

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 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
managements 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
                                       4

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.

     ScoreNetSM 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.  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' 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  called  "ASSIST"  which is
designed to predict automobile insurance risk. PLS and ASSIST are similar to the
credit bureau scoring services in that a purchaser of data from Equifax or Trans
Union  can use  the  scores  to  evaluate  the  risk  posed  by  applicants  for
homeowners' or auto  insurance.  The Company and Equifax or Trans Union,  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,  and ScoreWare  consisting of software for IBM and IBM
compatible  mainframe  computers;  and CreditDesk(TM) which consists of software
for personal  computers.  The Company does not expect  significant  sales of new
Mid-Range ASAP systems but still derives significant 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
compatible  mainframe  computers under the tradename  "SEARCH" and  "ScoreWare."

                                       5

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.

     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 300 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.  In September 1989, Equifax
Credit Information  Services of Toronto,  Canada's largest credit bureau,  began
providing an application  processing and scoring service using a custom-designed
version of the Company's  Mainframe  ASAP  Software.  The Company  shares in the
usage revenue produced by this service.

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., Total System Services, Inc. and MBNA Information Services
(formerly  Southwestern  States  Bankcard  Association),  three  of the  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. Credit card issuers subscribing to these services pay
monthly fees based on the number of accounts processed.  During fiscal 1995, the
Company  began   developing  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,  database  management  and
personalized   printing  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 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.

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,  Canada  and  Europe;  (v)  conducting  a  Risk  Management
Conferences for clients,  usually in San Francisco,  in which user experience is
exchanged and new products are introduced;  and (vi) delivery of special studies
which are related to the use of the Company's products and services.

     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 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 or invented.  The
Company  has been  actively  developing  and using  techniques  of this kind for
nearly 40 years, as indicated by the  development  and continual  enhancement of
its  proprietary  suite of  algorithms  and  computer  programs  used to develop
scoring algorithms.

                                        7

     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 languages used for coding.

     Although  DynaMark has many competitors in the data processing  field, some
of which are  significantly  larger,  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.


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  approximately  500 users of  products  sold
directly by the Company to  end-users.  These include over 50 of the 100 largest
banks  in  the  United   States;   several  of  the  largest  banks  in  Canada;
approximately  20 banks in the United  Kingdom;  more than 40 retailers;  12 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 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 many cases DynaMark acts as
a subcontractor to advertising  agencies or others managing a particular project
for the end-user.

     No single  end-user  customer  accounted for more than 10% of the Company's
revenues in fiscal 1994. Revenues generated through the Company's alliances with
the three major credit bureaus in the United States,  Equifax,  Inc., TRW, Inc.,
and Trans Union  Corporation,  each accounted for  approximately  nine to eleven
percent of the Company's total revenues in fiscal 1995.

     The percentage of revenues derived from customers  outside the United Sates
was  approximately  13 percent in fiscal 1995, 14 percent in fiscal 1994, and 16
percent in fiscal 1993. DynaMark has had virtually no non-U.S. revenues. Canada,
the United Kingdom and Germany are the largest  international  market  segments.
Mexico,  Japan,  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  40  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 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 and insurance 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.

                                       8

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
employs a  combination  of fixed fee and volume-or  usage-based  pricing for its
services.

     As of September 30, 1995, the Company's  backlog,  which includes only firm
contracts,  was  approximately  $46,137,000,   as  compared  with  approximately
$30,911,000 as of September 30, 1994. Most usage-based revenues do not appear as
part  of  the  backlog.  The  Company  believes  that  approximately  30% of the
September 30, 1995 backlog will be delivered after the end of the current fiscal
year, September 30, 1996. Most DynaMark contracts include unit or usage charges,
the total  amount of which  cannot be  determined  until the work is  completed.
DynaMark's backlog is not significant in amount, is not considered a significant
indicator of future revenues, and is not included in the foregoing 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.

     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 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.

     Both  AMS and CCN  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 CCN 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 data base of results,  from which
rules and  algorithms are 

                                       9

developed, as compared to expert systems, which are typically based primarily on
the  "expert's"  judgment  and  less so upon a  significant  data  base.  Neural
networks,  on the other hand,  are an alternative  method of developing  scoring
algorithms from a data base but using  mathematical  techniques  quite different
from those used by the Company.  The Company believes its technology is equal or
superior  to expert  system  and  neural  network  technology  where  sufficient
performance data is available.

     As noted  above,  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.  As noted above,  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 competitors in these areas.

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 does not currently  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.

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.

     Above  and  beyond  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 October 1, 1995, the Company employed approximately 835 persons. None
of its  employees is covered by a collective  bargaining  agreement  and no work
stoppages have been experienced.
                                       10

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
134,000  square feet of office space in three  buildings at that location  under
leases  expiring in 2001.  It also  leases  approximately  9,600  square feet of
warehouse space in San Rafael for its hardware  operations and for storage under
month-to-month  leases.  DynaMark  leases  approximately  82,000  square feet of
office and data  processing  space in two  buildings in Arden  Hills,  Minnesota
under leases which expire in 2005, and an additional 23,000 square feet of space
for printing  facilities  in a separate  building in Arden Hills,  under a lease
which expires in 1997. The Company also leases a total of  approximately  26,000
square feet of office  space for offices in  Monterey,  California;  New Castle,
Delaware; Atlanta, Georgia; Toronto, Ontario; Birmingham, England; Tokyo, Japan;
Paris, France;  Mexico City, Mexico; and Wiesbaden,  Germany. See Notes 6 and 11
of Notes to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements for  information  regarding the
Company's obligations under leases.

     The Company is currently  investigating  various  possibilities to meet its
anticipated needs for additional space in future years, primarily in San Rafael.
The  Company  believes  that  suitable  additional  space will be  available  to
accommodate future needs.

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 and prospective customers. The Company's products include statistically derived, rule-based analytical tools, software designed to implement those analytical tools, and 13 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, database management and personalized printing services to businesses engaged in direct marketing. The Company is organized into business units which correspond to its principal markets: consumer credit, insurance and direct marketing (DynaMark). 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 and CreditDesk) 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 employs a combination of fixed-fee and usage-based pricing. REVENUES The following table sets forth for the fiscal periods indicated (a) the percentage of revenues contributed by the DynaMark and Insurance business units, and the percentage of revenues represented by fixed-price and usage-priced revenues from the Credit business unit; and (b) the percentage change in revenues within each category from the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. Fixed-price revenues include all revenues from application processing software, custom scorecard development and consulting projects for credit. Virtually all usage revenues are generated through third-party alliances such as those with credit bureaus and third-party credit card processors.
Percentage of Period-to-Period Revenue Percentage Changes Year Ended 1994 1993 September 30, to to 1995 1994 1993 1995 1994 - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Credit: Fixed-price 29 32 37 15 18 Usage-priced 53 50 49 33 38 DynaMark 16 16 12* 22 78* Insurance 2 2 2 56 36 --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- Total revenues 100 100 100 26 35 ========= ========= ========= ========= ========= * DynaMark was acquired on December 31, 1992, so it contributed to revenues for only the last nine months of fiscal 1993.
Revenue from credit application scoring products increased by 20 percent in fiscal 1994 compared with fiscal 1993 and increased another 10 percent in fiscal 1995 due primarily to resurgence in the economy in general and increased bankcard solicitation activity, and also due to the Company's introduction of new products including small business loan scoring products and tracking software. ASAP revenues increased by 35 percent in 1994 compared with 1993, and by another 13 percent in fiscal 1995, primarily due to increased sales of PC-based ASAP products (CreditDesk) and software components for mainframe ASAP systems. Revenues from sales of credit account management systems (TRIAD) sold to end-users increased 3 percent from 1993 to 1994 and by 28 percent from 1994 to 1995. The Company's high degree of success in penetrating the U.S. bankcard industry with these products has limited 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 which accounted for most of the growth in 1995. 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 have increased rapidly in each of the last three fiscal years and accounted for approximately 39 percent of revenues in fiscal 1995. Revenues from services provided through bankcard processors also increased in each of these years, due primarily to increases in the number of accounts at each of the major processors. 14 Revenues derived from alliances with credit bureaus and credit card processors have accounted for much of the Company's revenue growth and improvement in operating margins over 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 could have a significant impact on revenues and operating margin. Revenues generated through the Company's alliances with Equifax, Inc., TRW, Inc. and Trans Union Corporation each accounted for approximately nine to eleven percent of the Company's total revenues in fiscal 1995. Potential new government regulation of the use of credit bureau data could have an impact on the use of any of the Company's credit bureau scoring services including PreScore(R) and ScoreNet(R). Bills which would substantially amend the Fair Credit Reporting Act were introduced in each of the last three Congresses and at least two such bills were introduced in 1995. These bills would impose new restrictions on the use of credit bureau data to prescreen solicitation lists. Bills and regulations have also been introduced, and, in some cases enacted, at the state level that affect the use of credit bureau data in various ways, including restricting the use of such data in making insurance underwriting decisions. State regulation of credit bureau data, particularly regulations imposing requirements on the credit bureaus or users of credit bureau information which differ from those existing under federal law, may also have an adverse impact on bureau scoring services. The Company believes certain enacted or pending state legislation and regulation of credit bureau data in connection with insurance underwriting has had a negative impact on its efforts to sell insurance risk scores through credit reporting agencies. However, the Company cannot predict whether any other particular federal or state legislation affecting credit bureau information or credit scoring is likely to be enacted in the foreseeable future, or the extent to which the passage of such legislation might affect the Company's business. The Company's revenues derived from customers outside the United States increased from $10.9 million in fiscal 1993 to $12.5 million in fiscal 1994 and to $14.9 million in 1995. DynaMark has had virtually no non-U.S. revenues. Sales of software products, including TRIAD and PC-based ASAP, and an increase in the number of accounts using the Company's account management services at credit card processors in the United Kingdom accounted for most of the increases in international revenues in fiscal 1994 and 1995. Revenues from software maintenance and consulting services each accounted for less than 10% of revenues in each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 1995, and the Company does not expect revenues from either of these sources to exceed 10% of revenues in the foreseeable future. During the period from 1990 through 1994, while the rate of account growth in the U.S. bankcard industry was slowing and many of the Company's largest institutional clients were merging and consolidating, the Company generated above-average growth in revenues--even after correcting for the effect of the DynaMark acquisition--from its bankcard-related scoring and account management business by deepening its penetration of large banks and other credit issuers. The Company's revenues grew by 26 percent in fiscal 1995 which is closer to what the Company believes is a sustainable, long-term growth rate. The Company believes much of its future growth prospects will rest on its ability (1) to develop new, high value products and services for its present client base of major U.S. consumer credit issuers; (2) to increase its penetration of established or emerging credit markets outside the U.S. and Canada; and (3) to 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 health care information management. 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. While the increasing percentage of usage revenues may loosen this constraint to some extent, management believes it 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 which 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. Cumulative revenue since 1987, net of the DynaMark acquisition, is very close to the Company's twenty-year historical average revenue growth of 21 percent. 15 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 Statement of Income and (b) the percentage change in the amount of each such line item from the prior fiscal year.
Percentage of Period-to-Period Revenue Percentage Changes Year Ended 1994 1993 September 30, to to 1995 1994 1993 1995 1994 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total revenues 100 100 100 26 35 -------- --------- --------- Costs and expenses: Cost of revenues 38 38 40 27 29 Sales and marketing 20 20 20 22 34 Research and development 4 5 7 -- (10) General and administrative 21 19 20 37 29 Amortization of intangibles -- 1 1 (12) 54 -------- --------- --------- Total costs and expenses 83 83 88 26 27 -------- --------- --------- Income from operations 17 17 12 26 95 Interest income, expense and other (net) 2 1 1 108 39 -------- --------- --------- Income before income taxes 19 18 13 30 91 Provision for income taxes 8 7 5 35 93 -------- --------- --------- Net income 11 11 8 26 90 ======== ========= =========
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 Service. The decrease in cost of revenues, as a percentage of revenues, in 1994 and 1995 compared with 1993 was due primarily to increases in the volume of usage-priced revenues which, other than ScoreNet, have relatively low costs of revenues. 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 have been relatively stable during the three years ended September 30, 1995. 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 expenses, in absolute dollars, decreased slightly from fiscal 1993 to 1994 and were essentially unchanged in fiscal 1995. The Company's current primary focus in seeking growth opportunities is in developing new markets--either geographical or by industry--for its existing technologies, rather than new technological developments. Such costs are recorded as sales and marketing or general and administrative expenses rather than as research and development. 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, and the costs of operating administrative functions such as finance and computer information systems and exploration of new business opportunities. As a percentage of revenues, these expenses decreased in fiscal 1994 compared with fiscal 1993, due primarily to expense control and rapid revenue growth. The increase in these costs in fiscal 1995 was 16 primarily due to significant increases in office space and expenditures made to improve the Company's information systems and technology infrastructure, and the research associated with exploring new business opportunities, primarily in the health care information management area. AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLES The Company is amortizing the intangible assets arising from the DynaMark acquisition, which occurred on December 31, 1992, over periods ranging from two to 15 years. The level of amortization expense in future years will depend, in part, on the amount of additional payments to the former share-holders of DynaMark. See below under "Capital Resources and Liquidity." INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE, AND OTHER Interest income is derived from the investment of funds surplus to the Company's immediate operating requirements. At September 30, 1995, the Company had approximately $23.2 million invested in U.S. treasury securities, certificates of deposit, and other interest-bearing instruments. Interest income increased in fiscal 1994 and 1995 due to rising interest rates and/or the increasing balance in interest bearing accounts and instruments. The following table shows year-to-year changes in interest income resulting from changes in market rates of interest and the amount of interest-bearing investments. (dollars in thousands) 1995 1994 1993 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balance at September 30: $23,199 $24,888 $13,325 Yield at September 30: 5.6% 4.6% 3.4% Interest for year ended September 30: $ 1,248 $ 728 $ 560 In 1992, the Company entered into a financing lease for its newly constructed conference center and financed the construction of the center with a $2,950,000 secured note. Principal and interest on the note are payable monthly. Interest income from the note is not included in the table above. In 1993, the Company earned $212,000 in interest income on the note and incurred $193,000 in interest expense on the capitalized lease. The Company incurred an additional $60,000 in interest expense on other capitalized leases in fiscal 1993. In 1994, the Company earned $293,000 in interest income on the note and incurred $183,000 in interest expense on the lease, and an additional $39,000 in interest expense on other capitalized leases. The $41,000 in other expenses recorded in fiscal 1994 reflects the loss on sale of a treasury bill prior to its maturity. In 1995 the Company earned $292,000 in interest income on the note and incurred $163,000 in interest expense on the lease, and an additional $29,000 in interest expense on other capitalized leases. The other income is primarily attributable to currency exchange gains. PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES The Company's effective tax rate of approximately 41% in fiscal 1995 was higher than the effective rate of approximately 39% in fiscal 1993 and 1994 due primarily to a changing mix of applicable state and foreign tax rates. The Company expects its effective tax rate in fiscal 1996 to be approximately the same as in fiscal 1995 barring any change in the tax laws. CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY Working capital increased from $14,652,000 at September 30, 1993, to $16,490,000 at September 30, 1994 and to $24,393,000 at September 30, 1995. These increases were due primarily to increases in accounts receivable, unbilled work in progress and short-term investments which offset a decrease in cash and cash equivalents and increases in accrued compensation and employee benefits and billings in excess of earned revenues. The Company may be required to make additional payments to the former shareholders of DynaMark based upon DynaMark's financial results in calendar 1995. The Company currently estimates that this additional payment for calendar 1995 will be approximately $1.1 million, and will not exceed $2.7 million. No such additional payments are required in future years. In fiscal 1994, cash provided by operations ($19,535,000) more than offset cash used in investing activities ($12,985,000) and financing activities ($800,000). Cash provided by operations resulted primarily from net income before depreciation and amortization, and increases in accrued compensation and benefits. Cash was used in investing 17 activities primarily to make net purchases of interest bearing investments, to purchase property and equipment and to make the additional payment to the former owners of DynaMark. Payment of dividends and reduction of certain capital lease obligations more than offset cash provided by the exercise of stock options. In fiscal 1995 cash provided by operations ($13,316,000) was more than offset by cash used in investing activities ($15,333,000) and financing activities ($652,000). Cash provided by operations resulted primarily from net income before depreciation and amortization, 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 (including major expansions at the Company's headquarters in San Rafael, California and at DynaMark's facility in St. Paul, Minnesota), the additional payment to the former owners of DynaMark, the purchase of interest bearing investments and investments in a number of start-up companies, partially offset by the maturities of interest bearing investments. Cash was used in financing activities primarily for the payment of dividends and reduction of capital lease obligations, partially offset by cash generated by the exercise of stock options. 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, 1995, the Company had no significant capital commitments other than those obligations described in Notes 3, 6 and 11 to the consolidated financial statements. 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. The table in Note 13 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 and thus short-term fluctuations in revenue 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. 18 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, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 1995.

23 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. These analytical tools include credit and insurance scoring algorithms. The Company also offers direct marketing and database management services through its wholly owned subsidiary, DynaMark, Inc. 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. 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, consisting principally of U.S. Government obligations, are stated at market. Investments with maturities exceeding one year are classified as long-term investments. The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities", effective October 1, 1994. There was no significant effect as a result of implementation of SFAS No. 115. Amortized cost was used in calculating the unrealized gain on securities available for sale for purposes of applying SFAS No. 115. NOTE RECEIVABLE The note receivable is secured by a first deed of trust which bears interest at 10% per annum, with principal and interest payments amortized monthly over 30 years. The note matures on June 30, 2003. ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS The Company maintains reserves for potential bad debts and such uncollectible amounts have been within management's expectations. At September 30, 1995 and 1994, management believes the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION Depreciation and amortization on property and equipment including leasehold improvements are provided using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from three to eight years or the term of the respective leases. 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, measured by an output method based on results achieved to date compared with the results necessary to complete the contract, which approximates the ratio that incurred costs bear to estimated total completion 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 24 performance milestones that are defined by the individual contracts. Deposits and other amounts billed 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. Revenue from shrink-wrapped products and services are recognized upon delivery. 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 3-year period ending September 30, 1995, 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 years. Amortization of capitalized software was: $544,000 for 1995; $587,000 for 1994; and $1,418,000 for 1993. The 1993 amount includes the write-off of $531,000 of capitalized software costs. INTANGIBLES The intangible assets consisting of goodwill and non-compete agreements arose principally from a business acquisition and are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives that range from 2 to 15 years. The Company assesses the recoverability of goodwill by evaluating the projected results of operations over the remaining useful life. The accumulated amortization of intangible assets was $2,040,000 and $1,329,000 as of September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. TAXES ON INCOME Effective October 1, 1992, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." SFAS No. 109 requires deferred tax assets and liabilities to be calculated using the enacted tax rates in effect when the temporary differences are recovered or settled. The effect of implementing SFAS No. 109 was not significant. FOREIGN CURRENCY Gains and losses arising from fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on non-U.S. dollar-denominated trans-actions were not significant in the past three years. EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Common shares outstanding used in computing earnings per share include weighted average common equivalent shares as if shares issuable from exercise of stock options (with exercise prices below market value) were issued as of the beginning of the period or on the date of grant and the proceeds from exercise were used to purchase common shares (the treasury stock method). Fully diluted earnings per share were approximately equal to primary earnings per share in each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 1995. 25 RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain reclassifications were made to the 1993 and 1994 financial statements to conform to the 1995 presentation. ACCOUNTING CHANGES On October 23, 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." Statement No. 123 allows a company to either (1) retain the current method of accounting for stock compensation for purposes of preparing its financial statements or (2) to adopt a new fair value based method that is established by provisions of the new Statement. The Company plans to retain its current method of accounting for stock compensation when it adopts this Statement in fiscal 1997 and thus it is not expected to have an impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations. 2. DIVIDENDS On May 23, 1995, the Company's Board of Directors declared a 100% stock dividend equivalent to a two-for-one stock split payable at the close of business on June 26, 1995. The par value of the additional shares was reclassified from retained earnings to common stock. All per share amounts, options, market prices and number of shares have been restated to retroactively reflect the 100% stock dividend. Concurrent with the 100% stock dividend, the Board of Directors authorized payment of a quarterly dividend of 2 cents or 8 cents per year. Previously, dividends had been paid at a rate of 3.5 cents semi-annually or 7 cents per year. Because the change to quarterly dividends was initiated in September 1995, the rate of dividends paid in fiscal 1995 does not reflect the new annual rate. 3. ACQUISITION In December 1992, the Company acquired the assets and liabilities of DynaMark, Inc., a privately-held company, for $4.6 million in cash and assumed debt of $2.2 million. The fair market value of the assets was $6.8 million. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and the operations of DynaMark, Inc. have been included in the consolidated financial statements since the acquisition date. The purchase agreement provides for additional contingent cash payments not to exceed $2.7 million based on specified financial performance of DynaMark through December, 1995. Goodwill arising from the acquisition is being amortized over 15 years. 4. CASH FLOW STATEMENT
Supplemental disclosure of cash flow information: Years ended September 30, (dollars in thousands) 1995 1994 1993 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Income tax payments $10,640 $8,455 $3,820 Interest paid $196 $222 $253 Non-cash investing and financing activities: Contributions of stock to ESOP $856 $661 $176 Tax effect of stock options $115 $350 $207
26 5. INVESTMENTS The Company's investment portfolio consists primarily of U.S. Government issues or government-backed securities. These are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at market value, with the un-realized gains and losses, net of federal income taxes, reported as a separate component of Stockholders' equity. The following is a summary of available-for-sale securities and other investments not subject to SFAS No. 115 as of September 30, 1995 (thousands): 1995 Short-Term Long-Term - ------------------------------------------------------------------ Amortized cost $5,883 $9,561 Gross unrealized gains 1 270 Gross unrealized losses (10) -- --------- --------- Market value 5,874 9,831 Other securities -- 1,092 --------- --------- $5,874 $10,923 ========= ========= Prior to October 1, 1994, securities were carried at amortized cost. At September 30, 1994, the market value of the short-term securities was $3,936,000 and $10,335,000 for the long term securities. The long-term securities mature in one to five years. During the year, the Company made an investment in the preferred stock of an early-stage enterprise, which is being accounted for using the cost method. The total investment at year-end amounted to $660,000. The maximum commitment with respect to this investment is $3,000,000; investment up to this ceiling is dependent on the enterprise attaining defined performance milestones. 6. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Property and equipment as of September 30, 1995 and 1994, consist of the following: (dollars in thousands) 1995 1994 - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Data processing equipment $13,295 $11,367 Office furniture, vehicles and equipment 7,964 4,249 Leasehold improvements 5,372 2,995 Capitalized leases 3,123 3,282 Less accumulated depreciation and amortization (12,939) (9,559) --------- --------- Net property and equipment $16,815 $12,334 ========= ========= Depreciation and amortization charged to operations were $4,812,000, $3,457,000, and $2,538,000 for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. 27 The following is a schedule, by years, of future minimum lease payments under capitalized leases, together with the present value of the net minimum lease payments as of September 30, 1995: Years ended September 30 (dollars in thousands) - -------------------------------------------------------------- 1996 $ 547 1997 499 1998 466 1999 466 2000 466 Thereafter 375 --------- 2,819 Less: Amount representing interest (498) --------- Present value of net minimum lease payments $2,321 ========= 7.

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. The Company's policy is to fund the pension plan to the maximum extent for which a tax deduction is allowed. 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, 1995 and 1994: (dollars in thousands) 1995 1994 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vested benefit obligation $5,067 $3,930 Nonvested benefit obligation 373 381 Effect of projected future earnings 2,353 1,560 --------- --------- Projected benefit obligation 7,793 5,871 Fair value of plan assets (5,155) (4,353) --------- --------- Projected benefit obligation in excess of plan assets 2,638 1,518 Unrecognized prior service cost 85 26 Unrecognized net loss (2,759) (1,567) Unrecognized net obligation remaining to be amortized (196) (216) Additional minimum liability 517 -- --------- --------- (Prepaid) Accrued pension cost $285 $(239) ========= ========= The plan assets consist primarily of U.S. government securities. The projected benefit obligation includes an accumulated benefit obligation of $5,440,000 and $4,311,000 for 1995 and 1994, respectively. The obligation exceeded the fair value of the pension plan assets at September 30, 1995. The Company recorded an additional minimum liability of $517,000. An intangible asset of $111,000 was also recorded (up to the unrecognized prior service costs) and a reduction was made in stockholder's equity of $406,000 for the excess additional minimum liability over the unrecognized prior service costs. 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 7.5 percent and 5.5 percent, respectively, at September 30, 1995, and 8 and 5.5 percent at September 30, 1994. The expected long-term rate of return on assets was 7.5 percent at September 30, 1995 and 1994. 29 The net pension cost for the fiscal years ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, included the following components: (dollars in thousands) 1995 1994 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Service costs $483 $510 Interest cost on projected benefit obligation 500 414 Actual return on plan assets (510) (116) Net amortization and deferral 266 (13) --------- --------- Net periodic pension plan cost $739 $795 ========= ========= EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN The Company has an Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") that covers eligible full-time employees. Contributions in cash or stock 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 $1,046,000, $856,000, and $645,000 for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively. At September 30, 1995, the ESOP held 1,099,178 shares of Company stock. The amount of dividends on ESOP shares were $64,000, $85,000 and $82,000 for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively. Company stock held and paid for by the ESOP is allocated annually to participants based on employee compensation levels. Participants vest in the allocated shares at the rate of 30 percent after three years of employment, 10 percent in the fourth year and 20 percent annually thereafter. 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 is vested over five years. The Company contributions to 401(k) plans were $454,000, $291,000 and $224,000 for years ended September 30, 1995, 1994, and 1993. During fiscal 1995, the Company established a supplemental retirement and savings plan for certain officers and senior management employees. Company contributions to that plan for fiscal 1995 were $91,000. 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 $4,030,000, $3,381,000 and $2,566,000 for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994, and 1993, 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. 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 $4,764,000, $3,738,000, and $2,724,000 for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994, and 1993 respectively. 30 9.

Total options exercisable were 449,900 and 609,400 at September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Changes in options outstanding during the three years in the period ended September 30, 1995: Number Exercise of Price Shares per Share - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Options outstanding Sept. 30, 1992 1,172,000 $1.11-$4.44 Granted 194,000 $8.25-$8.50 Exercised (283,000) $1.11-$3.50 --------- Options outstanding Sept. 30, 1993 1,083,000 $1.11-$8.50 Granted 142,000 $13.25-$15.38 Forfeitures (68,000) $8.25-$8.50 Exercised (289,600) $1.11-$3.50 --------- Options outstanding Sept. 30, 1994 867,400 $1.11-$15.38 Granted 161,850 $19.31-$28.38 Exercised (217,500) $1.11-$8.50 --------- Options outstanding Sept. 30, 1995 811,750 $1.89-$28.38 ========= 31 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company conducts certain of its operations in facilities occupied under operating leases expiring principally in December 2001. The leases provide for annual increases based upon the Consumer Price Index ("CPI"). Minimum future rental commitments under operating leases are as follows: Year ending September 30, (dollars in thousands) - -------------------------------------------------------------- 1996 $3,837 1997 3,805 1998 3,627 1999 3,300 2000 3,389 Thereafter 4,509 --------- $22,467 ========= Rent expense under operating leases, including month-to-month leases, was $2,939,000, $2,155,000 and $2,046,000 for the years ended September 30, 1995, 1994, and 1993, 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. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company operates principally in the financial services industry. Its DynaMark subsidiary provides services to the direct marketing industry. Operations in other industries are less than 10% of consolidated revenues. The Company's international operations consist primarily of sales and service offices.

                                      LEASE

                             ARTICLE 1. LEASE TERMS


1.1 LANDLORD AND TENANT.  This lease  ("Lease") is entered into this 28th DAY OF
APRIL,  1995 by and  between  CSM  INVESTORS,  INC.,  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  ("Premises" and "Building")  illustrated on the site plan
attached  hereto as 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 33,000 square feet.

1.3  IMPROVEMENTS.  Landlord shall  construct 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 for the Building and the Premises, and a description of
the  improvements to be constructed  therein,  are attached hereto as EXHIBITS C
AND D.

1.4 EXCESS LAND.  Landlord  and Tenant  acknowledge  and agree that  Landlord is
acquiring more property than is necessary for the development  and  construction
of the Building,  and that  development and construction of a second building on
the easterly  portion of the  property,  and site  improvements  related  solely
thereto,  will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 14.13
of this Lease.

1.5 LEASE TERM.  The term of this Lease  shall  commence  on  SEPTEMBER  1, 1995
("Commencement  Date") and shall  terminate  ONE  HUNDRED  TWENTY  (120)  MONTHS
thereafter on August 31, 2005, unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided.
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  (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.

1.6      BASE RENT.

     A.  Initial Base Rent.     Months        Monthly Base Rent      Per Sq. Ft.

           Initial Term:        1-60          $23,375.00               $8.50

     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

            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  1.6 of this  Lease,  which  amount
shall be payable to Landlord at the address shown above. One monthly installment
shall be due and  payable  on or before  the first  day of each  calendar  month
succeeding the Commencement Date during the term of this Lease; provided, if the
Commencement Date should be a date other than the first day of a calendar month,
the monthly rental set forth above shall be prorated to the end of that calendar
month, and all succeeding installments of rent shall be payable on or before the
first day of each  succeeding  calendar  month  during  the term of this  Lease.
Tenant  shall pay,  as  additional  rent,  all other sums due under this  Lease.
Notwithstanding  anything in this Lease to the  contrary,  if Landlord,  for any
reason whatsoever (other than Tenant's  default),  cannot deliver  possession of
the Premises to the Tenant on the Commencement Date,  substantially complete and
ready for  Tenant's  occupancy,  this Lease shall not be void or  voidable,  nor
shall Landlord be liable for any loss or damage resulting  therefrom,  nor shall
the expiration of the term be extended,  but all rent and additional  rent shall
be abated until Landlord delivers possession;  provided that if the Premises are
not substantially complete and ready for Tenant's occupancy by the later of: (i)
September 1, 1995, or (ii) the date one hundred twenty (120) days after Landlord
secures a building  permit from the City of Arden Hills,  which  Landlord  shall
diligently  pursue,  (except by reason of force majeure or Tenant caused delays,
including failure to approve plans and  specifications for the Premises by April
12, 1995,  in which case such date shall be extended by the number of days equal
to the delays  caused by  Tenant),  Landlord  shall pay to  Tenant,  as a credit
against the first installments of rent and additional rent payable hereunder, an
amount  equal  to  $500.00  for each  day  thereafter  until  the  Premises  are
substantially  complete and ready for Tenant's  occupancy;  and provided that if
the Premises are not substantially  complete and ready for Tenant's occupancy on
or before  October 1, 1995 

                                       2



(except by reason of force majeure or Tenant caused  delays,  in which case such
date shall be  extended  by the  number of days  equal to the  delays  caused by
Tenant),   Tenant  shall  have  the  option,  in  its  absolute  and  unfettered
discretion,  to terminate  this Lease by written notice to Landlord given at any
time prior to substantial completion of the Premises and Tenant taking occupancy
of the Premises.  In the event  Landlord,  despite due  diligence,  is unable to
secure a building permit by May 15, 1995,  Landlord shall so notify Tenant,  and
either Landlord or Tenant may thereafter  terminate this Lease by written notice
to the other, given on or before May 25, 1995.

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  expense.
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 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. Following  development and construction
of a second  building on the  property,  as described in  Subsection  1.4 above,
Tenant's  pro rata share set forth in Section 1.9 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 both the Tenant's
Building and the second 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;

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

expense which would generally be regarded as operating,  repair, replacement and
maintenance  expenses;  all real  property  taxes and  installments  of  special

Lease and legal fees incurred in connection with actions to reduce the same, and

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:

     A. Taxes  payable  by  reason  of  any  "minimum  assessment":  or  similar
        agreement to the extent  exceeding  the taxes which  otherwise  would be

        or

     B. Special  assessments  levied  or  pending  on the date of this  Lease or

     C. Expenses of  contesting  taxes or the assessed  value of the property of

        contest; or

     D. Operating   expenses   including  taxes  and   installments  of  special
        assessments, insurance premiums and maintenance expenses attributable to
        the unimproved  portion of the property of which the Premises are a part

        building  thereon by Landlord and  reduction  of Tenant's  proportionate

        determined by reference to assessors worksheets,  insurance carrier rate

     F. Expenses  incurred by  Landlord  in  satisfying  its  obligations  under
        Section 14.15 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

                                       4


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

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

this provision,  the term "repairs" shall include  replacements or renewals when

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,

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

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.  In the event the net cost of all
approved change orders (i.e., change orders which create savings will be applied
against  change orders which  increase  costs)  exceeds  $10,000.00,  the Tenant
shall: i) reimburse  Landlord in equal monthly  installments on the first day of
each month during the initial five (5) year term in an amount necessary to fully
amortize  such excess cost together with interest at a rate of nine and one-half
percent (9.5%); or ii) within ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord's invoice,
reimburse  Landlord  for such excess cost.  For the purposes of this  provision,
cost shall mean the sum Landlord is actually  required to pay its contractor for
any particular change order.

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.

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.

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 one  hundred  fifty (150)  working  days after the date of
written  notification by Tenant to Landlord of the 

                                       7



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 one
hundred fifty (150) 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 one hundred fifty (150) 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 al 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  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 

                                       8



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

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 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 

                                       9



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.

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 TENANTS STATEMENT.  Tenant agrees to furnish,  from time to time, within ten
(10)  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;

                                       10



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  mattes.  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.

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

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.

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  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 

                                       12



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 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
     extend,  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.

                                       13



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.

Landlord and Tenant agree that there shall be no brokerage fee or commisions due
on expansions, options or renewals by Tenant.

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 demand on behalf

term of this Lease for two (2) additional  five (5) year terms  ("Option  Term")
under the same terms and conditions contained herein, provided however, that the

may exercise its Option Term by delivering  written notice to Landlord,  stating
its  irrevocable  intent to exercise the Option Term,  not less than one hundred
eighty  (180) days  prior to the  expiration  of the Lease Term or first  Option
Term.  In the event that Tenant fails to deliver  timely notice of its intent to
exercise the Option Term,  Tenant's  right to the Option Term shall be deemed as
null and void.  It shall be a condition  of the exercise of the Option Term that
Tenant not be in Default pursuant to Section 11 of this Lease Agreement.

14.13 EXCESS LAND.  Landlord and Tenant  acknowledge  and agree that Landlord is
acquiring more land than is necessary for the  development  and  construction of
the Building  covered by this Lease.  The excess land consists of  approximately
136,561  square feet and is  outlined  in yellow on  attached  EXHIBIT A (Excess
Land). Landlord and Tenant agree, as follows, with respect to the Excess Land:

A.   Landlord will refrain from proceeding  with  development of the Excess Land
     for a period of four (4)  years,  from and after the  Commencement  Date of
     this Lease (the "Holding  Period").  Tenant shall have the right to shorten
     the Holding  Period by written  notice to Landlord  given not less than one
     (1) year prior to the earlier termination of the Holding Period.

B.   In  consideration  thereof,  Tenant will  reimburse  Landlord  for all real
     estate taxes,  assessments and insurance  costs  attributable to the Excess
     Land from the  Commencement  Date of this  Lease  until the  earlier of the
     expiration of the said Holding  Period or the date that  development of the
     Excess  Land is  completed.  These  costs will be  reimbursed  by Tenant to
     Landlord,  monthly,  as a part of the  operating  expenses that Tenant pays
     Landlord pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof.

                                       16



C.   Tenant will also  reimburse  Landlord  for the costs of carrying the Excess
     Land for the remainder of the Holding  Period after the first year thereof.
     For the purposes of this  provision,  carrying costs shall mean interest on
     the costs  incurred  by  Landlord to acquire the Excess Land from and after
     the date  incurred.  Interest  shall be at a rate equal to the rate on Four
     Year Treasury Securities, in effect on the Commencement Date of this Lease,
     plus two percent (2%). Tenant shall reimburse  Landlord for carrying costs,
     as aforesaid,  in cash,  upon  expiration of said Holding  Period,  unless,
     prior to that time,  Landlord and Tenant have entered into a binding  lease
     agreement  for Tenant s occupancy  of a building to be  constructed  on the
     Excess Land, in which case, Tenant's obligation to reimburse Landlord shall
     be deemed waived and of no force and effect.

D.   Tenant may, at its option and upon  written  notice given not less than one
     hundred  twenty (120) days prior to expiration of the said Holding  Period,
     extend said Holding  Period,  for an additional  two (2) years.  Tenant may
     exercise said option only by providing  written  notice as aforesaid and by
     paying to  Landlord  the full  reimbursement  due to  Landlord  pursuant to
     Subsections  B and C above.  In the event Tenant  exercises  this option to
     extend, the same terms and conditions as outlined above shall apply, except
     that Tenant shall be obligated to reimburse Landlord for carrying costs for
     both years of the extended period.

E.   The rights  herein  conferred are personal to Tenant and may not be sold or
     assigned without Landlord's prior written consent.

F.   In the event that Tenant  defaults in the  performance  of its  obligations
     under this Lease and such default is not cured within the  applicable  cure
     period, then Tenant's rights hereunder shall be deemed null and void and of
     no force and effect,  but Tenant's  obligation  to  reimburse  Landlord for
     carrying  costs shall  remain in force and effect  until the earlier of the
     expiration  of  the  hold  period  or  Landlord's   commencement   of  site
     development.

14.14    SUBMISSION OF LEASE.  Submission  of this Lease to Tenant for signature
does not constitute a reservation of space or an option to lease.  This Lease is
not effective until execution by and delivery to both Landlord and Tenant.

14.15  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 approved by Tenant in accordance with Section 6.1 hereof 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
(l)  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 or on Tenant's behalf, and is not caused by any act
or negligence of Tenant, its employees or contractors.  At the expiration of the
one (l) 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 

                                       17



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.

Occupancy of the Premises by Tenant for conducting its business shall constitute
an  acknowledgment  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.

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

            The C.P.I.  increase  shall be calculated as follows:  The base rent
            payable for the first  month term of this Lease shall be  multiplied
            by the percentage  change in the C.P.I.  for the 12 months preceding
            December 1, 1994. On each anniversary following, the base rent shall
            be  multiplied  by the  percentage  change in the C.P.I.  for the 12
            months preceding. No single increase shall exceed 4% of the previous
            year's  rental rate and in no event  shall the new  monthly  rent be
            less than the rent payable for the month  immediately  preceding the
            date for rent adjustment.




6.     SECURITY  DEPOSIT  Tenant has  deposited  with Landlord the sum of Thirty
       Thousand One Hundred and Eighty Dollars  ($30,180.00).  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.  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 this  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 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.  Landlord  shall not be  required  to keep this  security
       deposit  separate  from its general fund and Tenant shall not be entitled
       to interest on such deposit. If Tenant shall fully and faithfully perform
       every provision of this Lease to be performed by it, the security deposit
       or any balance  thereof  shall be  returned to Tenant (or, at  Landlord's
       option,  to the last  assignee of  Tenant's  interest  hereunder)  at the
       expiration of the Lease term. In the event of  termination  of Landlord's
       interest  in  this  Lease,   Landlord  shall  transfer  said  deposit  to
       Landlord's  successor  in  interest.  Tenant is  entitled  to a  Security
       Deposit credit in the amount of $1,911.67  ($32,091.67 - $30,180.00) as a
       result of renegotiating the existing lease dated December 15, 1988.

7.     OPERATING  EXPENSE  ADJUSTMENTS  For the  purposes of this  Article,  the
       following terms are defined as follows:

       BASE YEAR             The Base Year shall be 1993.

       COMPARISON YEAR       Each calendar year of the term after the Base Year.

       DIRECT EXPENSES       All direct costs of operation and  maintenance,  as
                             determined   by  standard   accounting   practices,
                             including   the   following   costs   by   way   of
                             illustration,  but not be limited to: real property
                             taxes and  assessments;  rent taxes,  gross receipt
                             taxes,  (whether  assessed  against the Landlord or
                             assessed  against the Tenant and  collected  by the
                             Landlord,   or  both);  water  and  sewer  charges;
                             insurance premiums; utilities; janitorial services;
                             labor;  costs  incurred  in the  management  of the
                             Building;  air  conditioning  &  heating;  elevator
                             maintenance;  supplies;  materials;  equipment  and
                             tools;  and  maintenance,  costs and  upkeep of all
                             parking and common areas.  ("Direct Expenses" shall
                             not include  depreciation  on the Building of which
                             the Premises are a part or equipment therein,  loan
                             payments,   executive   salaries   or  real  estate
                             broker's commissions.)

       If the  Direct  Expenses  paid  or  incurred  by  the  Landlord  for  the
       Comparison  Year  on  account  of the  operation  or  maintenance  of the
       Building  of which the  Premises  are a part are in excess of the  Direct
       Expenses  paid or incurred  for the Base Year,  then the Tenant shall pay
       14.51% of the  increase.  This  percentage  is that  portion of the total
       rentable area of the Building occupied by the Tenant hereunder.  Landlord
       shall  endeavor  to give to Tenant on or before the first day of March of
       each year  following the  respective  Comparison  Year a statement of the
       increase in rent payable by Tenant hereunder,  but failure by Landlord to
       give  such  statement  by said  date  shall  not  constitute  a waiver by
       Landlord of its right to require an increase in rent. Upon receipt of the
       statement  for the first  Comparison  Year,  Tenant shall pay in full the
       total amount of the increase  due for the first  Comparison  Year and, in
       addition for the then current year, the amount of any such increase shall
       be used as an estimate  for said  current  year and this amount  shall be
       divided into twelve (12) equal monthly  installments and Tenant shall pay
 
                                       2


 
       to Landlord,  concurrently with the regular monthly rent payment next due
       following  the  receipt  of such  statement,  an amount  equal to one (1)
       monthly  installment  multiplied  by the number of months from January in
       the  calendar  year in which said  statement is submitted to the month of
       such payment,  both months inclusive.  Subsequent  installments  shall be
       payable  concurrently  with the regular  monthly  rent  payments  for the
       balance  of  that  calendar  year  and  shall  continue  until  the  next
       Comparison  Year's  statement is rendered.  If the next or any succeeding
       Comparison Year results in a greater  increase in Direct  Expenses,  then
       upon receipt of a statement  from  Landlord,  Tenant shall pay a lump sum
       equal to such total increase in Direct  Expenses over the Base Year, less
       the  total of the  monthly  installments  to be paid  for the next  year,
       following  said  Comparison  Year,  shall be  adjusted  to  reflect  such
       increase. If in any Comparison Year the Tenant's share of Direct Expenses
       be less  than  the  preceding  year,  then  upon  receipt  of  Landlord's
       statement,  any  overpayment  made by Tenant on the  monthly  installment
       basis  provided  above shall be credited  towards the next  monthly  rent
       falling due and the estimated monthly  installments of Direct Expenses to
       be paid shall be adjusted to reflect such lower  Direct  Expenses for the
       most recent Comparison Year.

       Even though the term has  expired  and Tenant has  vacated the  Premises,
       when the final determination is made of Tenant's share of Direct Expenses
       for the year in which this Lease terminates, Tenant shall immediately pay
       any increase due over the  estimated  expenses  paid and  conversely  any
       overpayment made in the event said expenses decrease shall be immediately
       rebated by Landlord to Tenant.

       Notwithstanding  anything contained in this Article,  the rent payable by
       Tenant  shall in no event be less than the rent  specified  in  Article 5
       hereinabove.

       See Addendum to Lease, P.  1, Operating Expense Adjustments.

8.     USE Tenant shall use the Premises for general  office  purposes and shall
       not use or permit the Premises to be used for any other purposes  without
       the prior written consent of Landlord.

       General  office  purposes  shall be defined for purposes of this Lease to
       include computer rooms of any size required by Tenant.

       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 on injure or annoy them or
       use or allow the Premises to be used for any improper,  immoral, unlawful
       or objectionable  purpose, nor shall 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.

9.     COMPLIANCE  WITH 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 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  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
       be a party  thereto or not,  that Tenant has violated  any law,  

                                       3



       statute, ordinance or governmental rule, regulation or requirement, shall
       be conclusive of that fact as between the Landlord and Tenant.

10.    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.
       Any  alterations,  additions  or  improvements  to  or of  said  Premises
       including,  but not limited to, wallcovering,  paneling, air conditioning
       units and built-in  cabinet  work,  but excepting  movable  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 persons  selected by Tenant to make the same must first be
       approved  in  writing  by  the  Landlord.  Such  approval  shall  not  be
       unreasonably  withheld.  Upon the expiration or sooner termination of the
       term hereof, Tenant shall, upon written demand by Landlord which shall be
       given at the time  Landlord  approves the tenant  improvement  work, , at
       Tenant's  sole cost and expense,  forthwith  and with all due  diligence,
       remove  any  alterations,  additions,  or  improvements  made by  Tenant,
       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.

11.    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.  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 with ordinary wear and tear  excepted.  Tenant shall upon
             the expiration or sooner termination of this 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 once the initial tenant improvements are completed
             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  11. A.  hereinabove,
             Landlord shall repair and maintain the  structural  portions of the
             Building,  including the basic plumbing, air conditioning,  heating
             and electrical  systems  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  such  failure
             shall persist for an unreasonable  time after written notice of the
             need of such repairs or maintenance is given to Landlord by Tenant.
             Except  as  provided  in  Article  22  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.  Tenant waives the right to
             make  repairs  at  Landlord's  expense  under any law,  statute  or
             ordinance now or hereafter in effect  (including  the provisions of
             California  Civil  Code  Sections  1941 and 1942 and any  successor
             sections or statutes of a similar nature);  provided,  however,  if
             Landlord fails to perform any repair work required of 

                                 4


             Landlord with respect to the Premises  pursuant to this  Paragraph,
             within thirty (30) days after Landlord  receives  Tenant's  written
             notice  of the need  for such  repair  (or such  period  of time in
             excess of thirty (30) days as is  reasonably  necessary  based upon
             the nature of the required work), then Tenant shall be permitted to
             make  such  repairs,   using  contractors  reasonably  approved  by
             Landlord,  provided (i) Tenant first gives  Landlord an  additional
             two (2) business days' prior written notice  indicating that Tenant
             intends  to  undertake  such  repair,  and (ii)  Landlord  fails to
             commence  such repair  within such two (2) business day period.  If
             Tenant  performs  any repair as  permitted  under  this  Paragraph,
             Landlord agrees to reimburse Tenant for the reasonable,  actual and
             documented  costs of such repair  performed by Tenant,  but without
             any off-set  rights  against rent or any other  amounts  payable by
             Tenant  under this Lease.  Any repair work done by Tenant  shall be
             done in accordance  with the  provisions  of this Lease,  including
             without  limitation,  Paragraph 12,  keeping the premises free from
             liens.

12.    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  cost of any  improvements,  additions or alteration in
       the Premises to insure Landlord  against any liability for mechanics' and
       materialmen's liens and to insure completion of the work.

13.    ASSIGNMENT  AND  SUBLETTING  Tenant  shall not either  voluntarily  or by
       operation of law, assign,  transfer,  mortgage,  pledge, or encumber this
       Lease or any interest therein,  and shall not sublet the said Premises or
       any part  thereof,  or any right or  privilege  appurtenant  thereto,  or
       suffer any other person (the employees,  agents, servants and invitees of
       Tenant  excepted)  to  occupy  or use the said  Premises  or any  portion
       thereof,  without  written  consent of Landlord  first had and  obtained,
       which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;  provided however, that
       Landlord in the exercise of its good faith  business  judgment may refuse
       to approve the assignment or sublease and shall  promptly  provide Tenant
       with the reasons for its refusal.  In the event Tenant  desires to assign
       this Lease or any interest therein or sublet all or part of the Premises,
       Tenant shall give Landlord  written  notice  thereof,  which notice shall
       include  (i) the name of the  proposed  assignee,  subtenant  or occupant
       ("Transferee"),  (ii)  reasonable  financial  information  regarding  the
       Transferee,  (iii)  a  description  of the  Transferee's  business  to be
       carried  on in the  Premises,  and (iv) the  terms of the  assignment  or
       sublease and a description of the portion of the Premises to be affected.
       Tenant shall also provide Landlord such additional  information regarding
       the  Transferee  or the proposed  assignment  or sublease as Landlord may
       reasonably request.

       Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  Tenant shall have the right to assign or
       sublet the premises,  or a portion thereof,  to a wholly owned affiliated
       company or subsidiary,  without the Landlord's  consent.  Tenant shall be
       required,  however, to give written notice to Landlord in advance of such
       assignment or sublet and to prepare  assignment  or sublet  agreements on
       forms that are  reasonably  satisfactory  to Landlord.  In no event shall
       such an assignment or sublet  release Tenant from its  obligations  under
       the terms of this Lease.

       Consent to one  assignment,  subletting,  occupation  or use by any other
       person  shall not be deemed to a consent  to any  subsequent  assignment,
       subletting,  occupation  or use by  another  person.  Any  assignment  or
       subletting  without such consent shall be void, and shall,  at the option
       of the Landlord, constitute a default under this Lease.

                                       5



14.    HOLD HARMLESS Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless  Landlord  against
       and from any and all claims arising from Tenant's use of 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 and
       against all cost,  attorney's fees, expenses and liabilities  incurred in
       or about any such claim or any action or proceeding  brought  thereon and
       in any case,  action or proceeding  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 or willful act,
       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  dampness or any
       other cause  whatsoever,  unless  caused by or due to the  negligence  or
       willful acts of Landlord, its agents,  servant or employees.  Landlord or
       its agents shall not be liable for  interference  with the light or other
       incorporeal hereditaments, less 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.    SUBROGATION  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.

16.    LIABILITY INSURANCE Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, obtain and keep in
       force  during  the  term of this  Lease,  (1) a policy  of  comprehensive
       general  liability  insurance  insuring  Landlord and Tenant  against any
       liability arising out of the ownership,  use, occupancy or maintenance of
       the Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto; (2) workers' compensation
       insurance  as may be  required  by  law;  and  (3)  "all  risk"  property
       insurance  on  Tenant's  above-standard  tenant  improvements,   personal
       property, equipment,  furniture and fixtures. 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 to Landlord  prior to
       occupancy of the Premises copies of policies of insurance required herein
       or  certificates  evidencing  the existence and amounts of such insurance
       with loss payable clauses reasonably  satisfactory to Landlord. No policy
       shall be cancelable or subject to reduction of coverage  except after ten
       (10) days prior written notice to Landlord.

18.    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,  and is the  standard  of the
       Building. In the event any or all of the Tenant's leasehold improvements,
       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.

19.    RULES AND REGULATIONS Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with the
       reasonable  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 for the nonperformance
       of any said rules by any other  tenants  or  occupants.  These  rules and
       regulations  shall be applied  equally to all Tenants  occupying  Regency
       Center.

20.    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 rental, plus
       all  other  charges  payable  hereunder,  and upon all the  terms  hereof
       applicable to a month-to-month tenancy.

21.    ENTRY BY LANDLORD  Landlord  reserves and shall at any and all times have
       the right to enter the  Premises,  inspect  the same,  supply  janitorial
       service  and any other  service  to be  provided  by  Landlord  to Tenant
       hereunder,  to submit said Premises to prospective purchasers or tenants,
       to post notices of  non-responsibility,  and to alter,  improve or repair
       the  Premises and any portion of the Building of which the Premises are a
       part that Landlord may deem necessary or desirable,  without abatement of
       rent 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 the entrance to the Premises shall not
       be blocked thereby, and further providing that the business of the Tenant
       shall not be interfered with unreasonably. Tenant hereby waives any claim
       for damages or for any 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.  For  each  of the
       aforesaid  purposes,  Landlord  shall at all times  have and retain a key
       with  which to unlock all of the doors in,  upon and about the  Premises,
       excluding  Tenant's  vaults,  safes and  files,  and  specific,  secured,
       sensitive and  confidential  offices and Landlord shall have the right to
       use any and all means which  Landlord  may deem proper to open said doors
       in any  emergency,  in order to  obtain  entry  to the  Premises  without
       liability  to Tenant  except  for any  failure to  exercise  due care for
       Tenant's property.  Any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by any
       of said  means,  or  otherwise  shall  not  under  any  circumstances  be
       construed  or  deemed to be a  forcible  or  unlawful  entry  into,  or a
       detainer of, the Premises,  or an eviction of Tenant from the Premises or
       any portion thereof.

22.    RECONSTRUCTION  In the event the  Premises  or the  Building of which the
       Premises  are a part 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 the rent while
       such  repairs are being made,  such  proportionate  reduction to be based
       upon the  extent to which 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 or  neglect  of Tenant or its  employees,
       there shall be no abatement of rent.

                                       7

 
       In the event the  Premises or the  Building of which the  Premises  are a
       part are damaged as a result of any cause  other than the perils  covered
       by fire or extended  coverage  insurance,  then Landlord shall  forthwith
       repair the same provided the extent of the  destruction  be less than ten
       (10%) of the then full  replacement  cost of the Premises or the Building
       of which the Premises  are a part.  In the event the  destruction  of the
       Premises or the  Building is to an extent  greater  than ten (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,
       but the rent to be proportionately reduced as hereinabove in this Article
       provided; 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 and
       the Rent,  reduced by a proportionate  amount,  based upon the extent, if
       any, to which such damage materially interfered with the business carried
       on by the Tenant in the  Premises,  shall be paid up to date of said such
       termination.

       Notwithstanding  anything  to the  contrary  contained  in this  Article,
       Landlord shall not have any obligation whatsoever to repair,  reconstruct
       or restore the damage to the Premises resulting from any casualty covered
       under this Article which occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the
       term of this Lease or any extension thereof.

       Landlord  shall not be required to repair any injury or damage by fire or
       other  cause,  or to  make  any  repairs  to  replacements  of any  trade
       fixtures,   equipment,   furniture,  personal  property,  or  any  tenant
       improvements   added  to  the   Premises  by  Tenant  after  the  initial
       improvements were installed.

       Except for abatement of rent as provided  above,  the 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.

23.    DEFAULT  The  occurrence  of any or more of the  following  events  shall
       constitute a default and breach of this Lease by Tenant:

       A.    The vacating or abandonment of the Premises by  Tenant,  except  in
             cases when Tenant is current with all rental payments.

       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 ten (10) 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 Article 23.B. above,  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.

                                       8




       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  sixty (60)  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  interests  in this Lease,
             where such seizure is not discharged in thirty (30) days.

24.    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 necessary  renovation  and  alteration  of the
             Premises,  reasonable  attorney's fees, any real estate  commission
             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%) per cent 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 24.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  right 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.

25.    EMINENT  DOMAIN If more than  twenty-five  (25%) per cent of the Premises
       shall be taken or appropriated  by any public or  quasi-public  authority
       under the power of eminent  domain,  either  party  hereto shall have the
       right,  at its option,  to terminate  this Lease,  and Landlord  shall be
       entitled  to any and all  income,  rent,  award or any  interest  therein
       whatsoever  which may be paid or made in  connection  with such public or
       quasi-public  use or  purpose,  and Tenant  shall  have no claim  against
       Landlord  for the value of any  unexpired  term of this Lease.  If either
       less than or more than  twenty-five  (25%)  per cent of the  Premises  is
       taken,  and neither  party elects to terminate  as herein  provided,  the
       rental thereafter to be paid shall be equitably  reduced.  If any part of
       the Building  other than the  Premises  may be so taken or  appropriated,
       Landlord  shall have the right at its option to terminate  this Lease and
       shall be entitled to the entire award as above provided.  Notwithstanding
       the  foregoing,   Tenant  shall  be  entitled  to  that  portion  of  any
       condemnation  award made  specifically on account of Tenant's  relocation
       expenses,  increased  rental costs,  improvements  contracted at Tenant's
       expense or disruption of Tenant's business.

                                       9

26.    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 rental and other  charges are paid in advance,  if any, 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.

27.    PARKING  Tenant shall have the right to use in common with other  tenants
       or occupants of the Building the parking facilities of the Building.

28.    AUTHORITY OF PARTIES

       A.    Corporate  Authority.  If Tenant is a corporation,  each individual
             executing this Lease on behalf of said  corporation  represents and
             warrants  that he is duly  authorized  to execute and deliver  this
             Lease on  behalf of said  corporation,  in  accordance  with a duly
             adopted resolution of the board of directors of said corporation or
             in accordance with the by-laws of said  corporation,  and that this
             Lease is  binding  upon said  corporation  in  accordance  with its
             terms.

       B.    Limited   Partnerships.   If  the  Landlord  herein  is  a  limited
             partnership,  it is understood and agreed that any claims by Tenant
             on  Landlord  shall  be  limited  to  the  assets  of  the  limited
             partnership,  and furthermore,  Tenant expressly waives any and all
             rights to proceed against the individual  partners or the officers,
             directors or shareholders of any corporate  partner,  except to the
             extent of their interest in said limited partnership.

29.    GENERAL PROVISIONS

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

        (ii)  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  acceptances of rent 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, other than the
                failure of the Tenant to pay the particular  rental so accepted,
                regardless of Landlord's  knowledge of such preceding  breach at
                the time of the acceptance of such rent.

        (iii) 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 120 North Redwood Drive,  San Rafael,
                California  94903,  or to such  other  places 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 100 Smith  Ranch  Road,  Suite 325,  San  Rafael,  California
                94903, or to such other person or place as the Landlord may from
                time to time designate in a notice to the Tenant.

                                       10


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

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

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

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

        (ix)  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.

        (x)   Late Charges.    Tenant hereby  acknowledges  that late payment by
                Tenant to  Landlord  of 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.  Accordingly,  if any installment of rent
                or of a sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or
                Landlord's  designee  within ten (10) days after said  amount is
                past due,  then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal
                to ten (10%) per cent 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
                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.

        (xi)  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.

        (xii) Inability  to  Perform.    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 troubles,  acts of God, or any other
                cause beyond the reasonable control of the Landlord.

                expenses  including  the fees of its attorneys in such action or
                proceeding in such amount as the court may adjudge reasonable as
                attorney's fees.

        (xix) Sale of  Premises by  Landlord.   In the event of any sale of the
                Building,  Landlord  shall be and is hereby  entirely  freed 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 Premises 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.

        (xv)  Subordination  Attornment.    Upon request of the Landlord, Tenant
                will in writing  subordinate its rights hereunder to the lien of

                insurance company or other lending institution, now or hereafter
                in force against the land and Building of which the Premises are
                a part, and upon any buildings hereafter placed upon the land of

                hereafter to be made upon the security thereof.

                Notwithstanding  such  subordination,  neither Tenant's right to
                quiet  possession  of the  Premises  nor  this  Lease  shall  be
                disturbed or affected if Tenant is not in default  hereunder and
                so long as Tenant shall pay the rent and observe and perform all
                of the provisions of this Lease,  unless this Lease is otherwise
                terminated pursuant to its terms.

        (xvi)  In the event any proceedings are brought for foreclosure,  or in
                the event of the exercise of power of sale under any mortgage or
                deed of trust made by the Landlord  covering the  Premises,  the
                Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser  upon any such  foreclosure
                or sale and recognize  such purchaser as the Landlord under this
                Lease.

       (xvii) Name.    Tenant  shall not use the name of the  Building or of the
                development  in which the  Building is situated  for any purpose
                other than as an address of the  business to be conducted by the
                Tenant in the Premises.

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

        (xix) 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.

        (xx)  Choice of Law.    This Lease  shall be governed by the laws of the
                State in which the Premises are located.

        (xxi) 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.

                                 BY AND BETWEEN
                THE JOSEPH AND EDA PELL REVOCABLE TRUST, LANDLORD
                                       AND
                  FAIR, ISAAC AND COMPANY, INCORPORATED, TENANT
                               DATED JULY 1, 1993

             income for the building.

       B.    Landlord  shall keep full,  accurate and separate  books of account
             and records covering all Direct  Expenses,  which books of accounts
             and records shall accurately  reflect the total Direct Expenses and

2.     OPTION TO EXTEND

       A.    Landlord  grants to Tenant  the  option to extend  the term of this
             Lease for two 3-year periods commencing when the prior term expires
             upon each and all of the following terms and conditions:

               (i)   Tenant gives to Landlord and  Landlord  receives  notice of
                     the  exercise  of the option to extend  this Lease for said
                     additional  term no later than twelve (12) months  prior to
                     the time  that the  option  period  would  commence  if the
                     option were exercised,  time being of the essence.  If said
                     notification of the exercise of said option is not so given
                     and received, this option shall automatically expire;

              (ii)   At the time said written notification of exercise of option
                     is given and received, Tenant shall not be in default under
                     any  of  the  material  obligations  of  this  Lease  to be
                     performed   by  Tenant  and  this  Lease   shall  not  have
                     previously   terminated   nor   terminated   prior  to  the
                     commencement of the option term;

             (iii)   All of the terms and  conditions of this Lease except where
                     specifically modified by this option shall apply;

              (iv)   The monthly rent for each month of the option  period shall
                     be calculated as follows:

                     The rent payable by Tenant  during the first option  period
                     shall be the Fair Market  Rental  Value of the Premises (as
                     defined  below)  at the  commencement  date  of the  option
                     period.  There shall be an annual  C.P.I.  increase  not to
                     exceed four  percent  (4%) in each  subsequent  year of the
                     first  option  period.  The rent in the  

                                       1


                     first year of the second option period shall be the rent in
                     the last year of the first  option  period to which will be
                     added a C.P.I.  increase not to exceed four  percent  (4%).
                     There shall be an annual C.P.I. increase not to exceed four
                     percent (4%) in each  subsequent  year of the second option
                     period.  All of the  C.P.I.  increases  during  the  option
                     periods  shall be  calculated  on the basis of the  formula
                     provided in the Lease P. 5.B.

                     If  Landlord  and Tenant  cannot  agree on the Fair  Market
                     Rental  Value of the  Premises  for the  extension  periods
                     within  forty-five  (45) days after the Tenant has notified
                     Landlord of its exercise of the option, Landlord and Tenant
                     shall  each  select,  within  forty-five  (45) days of such
                     notification,  an appraiser who must be a qualified  M.A.I.
                     appraiser to determine  said Fair Market Rental  Value.  If
                     one party fails to so  designate  an  appraiser  within the
                     time  required,  the  determination  of Fair Market  Rental
                     Value of the one appraiser  who has been  designated by the
                     other  party  hereto  within  the  time  required  shall be
                     binding  upon both  parties.  The  appraisers  shall submit
                     their  determinations  of Fair Market  Rental Value to both
                     parties within thirty (30) days after their  selection.  If
                     the  difference  between  the  two  determinations  is  ten
                     percent  (10%) or less of the  higher  appraisal,  then the
                     average  between the two  determinations  shall be the Fair
                     Market Rental Value of the Premises.  If said difference is
                     greater  than ten percent  (10%),  then the two  appraisers
                     shall  within  twenty  (20) days of the date that the later
                     submittal  is  submitted  to the parties  designate a third
                     appraiser  who must also be a qualified  M.A.I.  appraiser.
                     The sole  responsibility  of the third appraiser will be to
                     determine  which of the  determinations  made by the  first
                     appraisers is most accurate. The third appraiser shall have
                     no right to propose a middle ground or any  modification of
                     either  of  the  determinations   made  by  the  first  two
                     appraisers. The third appraiser's choice shall be submitted
                     to the  parties  within  thirty  (30) days after his or her
                     selection.  Such  determination  shall  bind  both  of  the
                     parties and shall establish the Fair Market Rental Value of
                     the Premises.  Each party shall pay for their own appraiser
                     and shall pay an equal  share of the fees and  expenses  of
                     the third appraiser.

                     Fair  Market  Rental  Value for purpose of this Lease shall
                     mean the then  prevailing  rent for premises  comparable in
                     size,  quality,  and  orientation to the demised  Premises,
                     located  in  buildings  comparable  in size to,  and in the
                     general   vicinity  of,  the  building  which  the  demised
                     Premises are  located,  leased on terms  comparable  to the
                     terms contained in this Lease.

3.     RIGHT OF FIRST  OPPORTUNITY  TO LEASE  ADDITIONAL  PREMISES  AT 100 SMITH
       RANCH ROAD, SAN RAFAEL

       At any time during the term hereof, or any options to extend which Tenant
       has exercised,  provided that Tenant is not in default as defined herein,
       Tenant  shall have a right of first  opportunity  to lease for all office
       space that  becomes  available  for lease at 100 Smith  Ranch  Road,  San
       Rafael, based on the terms and conditions as outlined below.

       Landlord and Tenant  acknowledge  that there are existing  tenants at 100
       Smith  Ranch Road,  which  tenants  have  options to renew or who wish to
       renew  their  respective  leases,  and that these  existing  options  and
       requests  to renew would take  precedent  over the first  opportunity  to
       lease described herein.

       Landlord  and  Tenant  further  acknowledge  that  this  right  of  first
       opportunity  to lease shall apply only to premises,  from which  existing
       tenants vacate or which is currently vacant.

                                       2


       Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the availability of additional
       office  premises at 100 Smith Ranch  Road,  San Rafael  within 30 days of
       Landlord receiving notice from an existing Tenant at 100 Smith Ranch Road
       of that Tenant's  intent to vacate their premises.  Landlord's  notice to
       Tenant shall include the size of premises,  the  projected  date at which
       the premises may be available,  and a floor plan  indicating  the current
       configuration of the premises.

       Tenant shall have 30 days after receipt of notice from Landlord to notify
       Landlord of Tenant's  intent to lease the premises  which was the subject
       of the notice.  In the event Landlord does not receive notice from Tenant
       of Tenant's intent to lease said available space, Landlord shall have the
       right to lease said space to any other Tenant which Landlord chooses, and
       Tenant's right of first opportunity to lease that specific premises shall
       be deemed waived.

       In the  event  Tenant  notifies  Landlord  of its  intent  to lease  said
       premises,  Landlord  and Tenant  shall  proceed as soon as is  reasonably
       possible to execute a lease  agreement  for the  specific  premises  that
       became available. Terms and conditions of the Lease shall be based on the
       same terms and  conditions  of the  Lease(s)  on the other  space  Tenant
       occupies in the Building at the time the Lease is executed.  Landlord and
       Tenant shall make a good faith effort to execute a Lease for the specific
       available space within 30 days after Tenant has notified  Landlord of its
       intent to lease said space.

       This  right  of first  opportunity  to lease  shall in no way  limit  the
       Landlord from executing  leases with new tenants for terms of any length,
       with  options to renew for any length,  for those spaces for which Tenant
       has not  exercised  its right of first  opportunity  to lease as  defined
       herein.

4.     TENANT IMPROVEMENT WORK

       There shall be no tenant improvement allowance provided. The space, which
       is already in Tenant's possession, shall be taken in as is condition.

5.     SERVICES AND UTILITIES

       A.    Provided that Tenant is not in default  hereunder,  Landlord agrees
             to furnish to the Premises  five-day per week  janitorial  service.
             Landlord  shall  also  maintain  and keep  lighted,  heated and air
             conditioned   during  reasonable  hours  of  generally   recognized
             business days, the common entries, common corridors,  common stairs
             and toilet  rooms in the  building  of which  Premises  are a part.
             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.

       B.    Tenant shall have 24-hour per day, seven-day per week access to its
             Premises.

       C.    Landlord  shall  provide  Tenant a monthly  allowance  of $1,359.50
             (13,595  useable  square  feet  x  $.10)  for  Tenant's  electrical
             service.  This allowance is included in the Base Rent as defined in
             Article 5 of the Lease.



                                       3



             Landlord and Tenant  recognize  that  Tenant's  electrical  service
             shall  cost in  excess  of $.10 per  square  foot per  month due to
             Tenant's  use of machines  requiring  220 Volt  service in Tenant's
             computer room, Tenant's separate air conditioning unit for computer
             room, and Tenant's heavy electrical requirements.

             Landlord's   electrical  engineer  shall  provide  an  estimate  of
             Tenant's  electrical  usage which shall include the heating and air
             conditioning system for Tenant's premises, the separate heating and
             air  conditioning  system for Tenant's  computer  room, the special
             power  required for Tenant's  computer room, and power required for
             the balance of Tenant's premises.

             Electrical  engineer's  estimate shall be based on a computation of
             Tenant's   electrical   equipment  and  special   heating  and  air
             conditioning requirements,  the amount of amps required by Tenant's
             use of the premises and the building  kilowatt  charge from Pacific
             Gas and Electric.

             Electrical  engineer  shall  document  his  calculations  and shall
             submit these  calculations  to Tenant for Tenant's  review.  In the
             event Tenant  questions  any of the  variables  used in  engineer's
             estimate,  the Tenant shall submit  information  to the  electrical
             engineer   sufficient  to  establish  Tenant's  electrical  use  at
             premises. Electrical engineer, Tenant and Landlord shall then agree
             upon correct data to be used in computation of Tenant's  electrical
             usage and  electrical  engineer,  if  necessary,  shall  submit new
             calculations for Tenant's electrical use.

             Landlord  shall bill  Tenant  monthly  for this  excess  electrical
             usage. After the first year of Tenant's occupancy, or sooner should
             Landlord  or  Tenant   require  it,   electrical   engineer   shall
             recalculate the estimate of Tenant's  electrical usage to determine
             the monthly charge for the following year. At this time, any excess
             payments  made  by  Tenant  during  the  preceding  year  would  be
             refunded, or any shortfalls for the preceding year would be paid by
             Tenant.

       D.    The hours of operation of the heating and air  conditioning  system
             for the building are as follows:

                     Monday thru Friday:             7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
                     Saturdays:                      8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

       E.    In the event Tenant  requires the  operation of the heating and air
             conditioning  system  beyond the normal hours of operation  for the
             building,  Tenant shall  notify the building  manager in advance of
             the required  extended hour usage,  and the building  manager shall
             program the heating and air  conditioning  system to operate during
             the time period requested by Tenant.

       F.    In the event  Tenant shall  request  that an override  mechanism be
             installed during the term of the Lease, an override mechanism shall
             be  installed  on the heating  and air  conditioning  system  which
             services  Tenant's  premises.  The cost of this mechanism  shall be
             paid by the Tenant at the time of the installation.  This mechanism
             shall  allow  Tenant  to  have  control  of  the  heating  and  air
             conditioning system for its premises in hours other than the normal
             building hours stated above.

             Along  with  the  override  mechanism,  an  hourly  meter  shall be
             attached to the override mechanism which shall measure Tenant's use
             of the  heating  and air  conditioning  system  beyond  the  normal
             building  hours.  On a monthly basis,  Landlord shall charge Tenant
             for this usage by  multiplying  the number of hours used by the per
             hour charge for

                                       4


             operating  the heating and air  conditioning  system which shall be
             determined  by Landlord's  electrical  engineer and heating and air
             conditioning contractor.

6.     COMMUNICATIONS INSTALLATION

       Tenant has installed certain communications  equipment on the roof of the
       Building. Prior to the end of the term of this Lease, Tenant, at Tenant's
       sole cost and expense,  shall  remove the  communications  equipment  and
       shall,  forthwith  and with all due  diligence,  repair any damage to the
       Premises causes by such removal.

7.     CONSENT

       Landlord  and Tenant  agree that in the event  their  consent is required
       pursuant  to the  provisions  of the  Lease,  such  consent  shall not be
       unreasonably withheld.

                     THE JOSEPH AND EDA PELL REVOCABLE TRUST

                                  JULY 1, 1993


         This  Second   Addendum  to  Lease  dated  January  31,  1994  ("Second
Addendum") is hereby attached to and  incorporated  into and made a part of that
Lease dated July 1, 1993, by and between The Joseph and Eda Pell Revocable Trust
and Fair,  Isaac and Company,  Incorporated  and First  Addendum to Lease by and
between The Joseph and Eda Pell  Revocable  Trust and Fair,  Isaac and  Company,
Incorporated  dated July 1, 1993.  The parties agree to the following  terms and
conditions set forth herein below:


LEASE

29.      GENERAL PROVISIONS

         J.    Late Charges.  Paragraph 29.J. shall be amended to delete the ten
               percent  (10%) late charge and provide  for a five  percent  (5%)
               late charge.

FIRST ADDENDUM

5.       SERVICES AND UTILITIES

         Paragraph C shall be amended as follows:

         C.    Landlord  shall provide  Tenant a monthly  allowance of $1,659.90
               (15,090 rentable SF x $.11) for Tenant's electrical service. This
               allowance is included in the Base Rent as defined in Article 5 of
               the Lease.

               Landlord and Tenant  recognize that Tenant's  electrical  service
               shall  cost in  excess of $.11 per  square  foot per month due to
               Tenant's heavy electrical and air conditioning requirements.

               Tenant shall be charged for all PG&E charges to the building over
               and  above  the  monthly  allowance   provided  above,  less  any
               over-standard  charges to other  tenant's  in the  building  (any
               usage over the $.11  allowance  provided to each  Tenant.) At the
               time of  Lease  execution,  no per  square  foot  tenants  in the
               Building,  other than Fireman's  Fund who currently  occupies the
               entire  second floor,  have any  over-standard  useage.  Landlord
               shall notify  Tenant as to any changes in the  existing  tenants'
               electrical useage or any  over-standard  useage of new tenants to
               the  building.  Tenant may at any time notify  Landlord  that, in
               Tenant's  view,  a particular  tenant may be using  over-standard
               electrical  and Landlord  will  investigate  that useage with the
               assistance of an electrical  engineer.  Landlord  shall report to
               Tenant its  findings  regarding  the useage and shall  charge the
               other tenant for any actual  over-standard  useage,  which amount
               shall be deducted from Tenant's  over-standard charges. If Tenant
               does  not  agree   with   Landlord   or   Landlord's   engineer's
               calculation,  Tenant may have its own engineer evaluate the other
               tenant's useage.

                                       1


               For the first year of Tenant's  occupancy,  Landlord shall charge
               Tenant $.11 per useable  square foot per month for  over-standard
               electrical  useage as a  projected  expense,  which  amount is an
               average paid by Tenant in its other Premises located at 111 Smith
               Ranch Road and 120 North Redwood Drive.  This amount  ($1,495.45)
               shall be paid  along  with the  monthly  rent.  At the end of the
               first year of  occupancy,  Landlord  shall prepare a PG&E invoice
               analysis  showing  the  actual  cost of  over-standard  useage by
               Tenant.  Landlord  shall  credit  Tenant for any amounts  paid in
               excess of the actual cost of over-standard  useage.  Tenant shall
               pay Landlord for any costs in excess of the total  projected  sum
               paid by Tenant over the first year of occupancy.  The amount paid
               by Tenant for over-standard electrical useage for each subsequent
               year of occupancy  shall be based on the previous  year's charges
               and a similar  accounting  between Landlord and Tenant will occur
               annually.

                                 LEASE AGREEMENT


CONTROL  DATA  SYSTEMS,  INC.,  (hereinafter  referred  to  as  "Landlord")  and
DYNAMARK,  INC.,  (hereinafter  referred to as  "Tenant"),  entered into a Lease
dated April 6, 1992,  covering  premises at 4290 Fernwood  Avenue,  Arden Hills,
Minnesota.

NOW THEREFORE,  Landlord and Tenant agree to terminate the subject April 6, 1992
Lease  in its  entirety  as of the  Commencement  Date  (except  as to any  sums
remaining  owing,  whether  actual or  contingent)  and  enter  into a new Lease
Agreement, the terms and conditions of which are stated as follows:

1.       PARTIES.

         This Lease is made and  entered  into this 1st day of May 1995,  by and
between CONTROL DATA SYSTEMS,  INC.  (hereinafter referred to as "Landlord") and
DYNAMARK, INC., hereinafter referred to as "Tenant").

2.       PREMISES.

         In  consideration  of the rents and covenants  herein agreed to be paid
and  performed,  Landlord  hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from
Landlord, on the terms and conditions  hereinafter set forth, that certain space
(the "Premises")  consisting of approximately forty eight thousand eight hundred
four  (48,804)  rentable  square  feet and other  improvements  located  at 4290
Fernwood  Avenue,  Arden Hills,  Minnesota.  The Premises are more  particularly
designated  on the plan  attached  hereto  as  Exhibit A and made a part of this
Lease Agreement.

3.       TERM.

         The term of this Lease shall be for a period commencing on May 1, 1995,
(the  "Commencement  Date"),  and ending at midnight on August 31, 2005,  unless
sooner terminated as hereinafter provided.

4.       BASE RENT.

         (a) For the period from the  Commencement  Date of this Lease Agreement
through  July 31,  1997,  Tenant  agrees  to pay Base Rent for the  Premises  in
monthly  installments  at the rate of thirty-four  thousand five hundred dollars
($34,500.00) per month.
         Landlord  shall provide  during this period,  included in the Base Rent
listed above at no additional cost to Tenant,  the following items:  parking lot
and grounds  maintenance,  property insurance,  property tax payments (up to the
amount paid in 1992),  sewer and water, and property  management  services.  The
Base Rent shall be adjusted  periodically  as necessary to reflect any increases
or decreases in Tenant's actual pro rata share of real estate taxes 




attributable  to the  Premises.  Taxes  allocated to the Premises are  currently
deemed to be 6.663713898% of the taxes and assessments for the entire complex in
which the Premises are located.  Tenant may  challenge  such  allocation  if the
circumstances  concerning  the  Premises and its  relationship  to the taxes and
assessments change so as to make such allocation inequitable. If Landlord incurs
any  reasonable  expenses  as a result of real  estate  tax  appeals  or related
actions  which benefit  Tenant in the lowering of the Base Rent,  Tenant will be
responsible for its pro rata share of these expenses.
         During  this  period,  Tenant  shall  also pay all costs for  utilities
including electricity,  chilled water, heating, custodial services and all other
costs not specifically covered by Landlord and addressed herein. Such costs will
be invoiced  at  Landlord's  actual  cost and will not  contain  any  additional
charges.
         (b) Beginning  August 1, 1997 and  thereafter  for the remainder of the
Term of this Lease Agreement, Base Rent shall be paid according to the following
schedule:

                                   Annual                  Base
           Months               Base Rent/RSF            Rent/Month
         ---------              -------------            ----------
          1  -  36                 $6.89                 $28,021.63
         37  -  72                 $7.24                 $29,455.08
         73  -  97                 $7.54                 $30,665.18

         Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent three dollars and twenty-nine cents
($3.29) per rentable  square foot per annum as a fixed charge for Tenant's share
of Operating Expenses (as defined in the OPERATING  EXPENSES  section),  payable
monthly  with Base Rent.  On each  January 1 of the Term  after  August 1, 1997,
Tenant's pro rata share of Operating  Expenses shall increase three percent (3%)
over  Tenant's  pro rata share for the  previous  year,  with the  exception  of
Tenant's  pro rata share of real estate  taxes  which  shall  reflect the actual
increases or decreases.
         During  this  period,  Tenant  shall  also pay all costs for  utilities
including  electricity,  water and sewer,  chilled water usage and availability,
heating,  custodial  services  and all other costs not  specifically  covered by
Landlord and addressed herein.  If Landlord incurs any reasonable  expenses as a
result of real estate tax appeals or related actions which benefit Tenant in the
lowering  of  the  Additional  Rent  for  real  estate  taxes,  Tenant  will  be
responsible for its pro rata share of these expenses.
         (c) Said rent is subject to late charges and other terms and conditions
of this  Agreement.  Tenant  further  agrees  to pay its pro  rata  share of any
increases in expenses  attributable  to a change in law relating to the building
and its usage.  Monthly  rental  shall be payable in advance on the first day of
each month during the term of this Lease,  without  notice or demand and without
any deduction,  off-set,  or abatement,  except as expressly provided herein, in
lawful money of the United  States to the Landlord at the address  stated herein
for notices or to such other  persons or such other  places as the  Landlord may
designate  to Tenant in  writing.  Rent not paid within ten (10) days of the due
date shall be subject to a late  charge  equal to the lesser of 

                                       2



five (5) percent of the amount unpaid or the maximum  allowable under applicable
law,  which amount shall be charged  against each  installment  of rent not paid
when due. In addition,  any installment of rent not paid within ten (10) days of
the due date shall bear  interest at the rate of twelve  (12)  percent per annum
from the due date  until  paid,  which  interest  shall be  immediately  due and
payable as additional  rent. Any items of additional rent shall be invoiced on a
monthly basis by Landlord and shall be payable by Tenant within fifteen(15) days
of the date of such invoice.

5.       OPERATING EXPENSES

         (a)  Operating  Expenses  as  Additional  Rent.  During the Term of the
Lease,  Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent,  without any set-off or
deduction  except as described  herein,  the fixed charge specified in Section 4
(b) above for a prorata  share  ("Tenant's  Proportionate  Share")  of all costs
which  Landlord  may incur in owning,  maintaining  and  operating  the premises
("Operating Expenses").
         (b) Definition of Operating  Expenses.  The term  "Operating  Expenses"
shall mean all of the following: (i) all of Landlord's direct costs and expenses
of  operation,  repair and  maintenance  of the  Premises,  the property and the
common areas and supporting facilities,  as determined by Landlord in accordance
with generally  accepted  accounting  principles or other recognized  accounting
principles,  consistently  applied;  (ii) costs, or a portion thereof,  properly
allocable to the Premises,  property or common areas of any capital improvements
made to the  Premises,  property  or common  areas by  Landlord  which  comprise
labor-saving  devices  or other  equipment  intended  to improve  the  operating
efficiency of any system within the Premises,  property or common areas (such as
an energy management computer system) to the extent of cost savings in Operating
Expenses as a result of the device or  equipment,  as  reasonably  determined by
Landlord; and (iii) costs properly allocable to the Premises, property or common
areas of any capital improvements made to the Premises, property or common areas
by Landlord that are required under any  governmental law or regulation that was
not applicable to the Premises,  property and common areas at the time they were
constructed,  or that are  reasonably  required  for the  health  and  safety of
tenants in the property or Premises, the costs, or allocable portion thereof, to
be  amortized  over its useful life as  reasonably  determined  by Landlord  and
Tenant will pay Tenant's  Proportionate Share based on the time remaining in the
lease term,  together with interest upon the unamortized balance at the interest
rate or such higher rate as may have been paid by Landlord on funds borrowed for
the  purpose of  constructing  the  capital  improvements.  The term  "Operating
Expenses"  shall include the costs of all utilities  (including  surcharges) for
the  property  and  Premises;  the  cost  of all  insurance  which  Landlord  or
Landlord's  lender deems  necessary  for the property and  Premises;  a property
management  fee equal to ten percent (10%) of Operating  Expenses;  and the Real
Property Taxes. If Landlord elects to self-insure or includes the Premises under
blanket  insurance  policies  covering  multiple   properties,   then  the  term
"Operating   Expenses"   shall   include   the  portion  of  the  cost  of  such
self-insurance properly allocated by Landlord to the Premises.  Without 

                                       3



limiting the foregoing,  Operating Expenses shall include the costs set forth on
Exhibit C attached hereto, showing the breakdown of the initial $3.29 per square
foot charge. After August 1, 1997, Landlord agrees not to unreasonably  withhold
its agreement to modifications  of the services  provided by Landlord as part of
Operating Expenses, as requested by Tenant, so long as such modifications do not
result in increased  costs to Landlord,  deferred  maintenance  of the Premises,
increased casualty or theft risk to property or premises,  or other detriment to
Landlord;  and upon such modification of services the fixed charge for Operating
Expenses  shall be  appropriately  adjusted to reflect the reduced or  increased
costs to Landlord of providing such services at the time of such modification.
         (c) Exclusions From Operating Expenses.  The term "Operating  Expenses"
shall not include (i) costs paid directly by Tenant; (ii) principal and interest
payments on loans secured by deeds of trust  recorded  against  property;  (iii)
real estate sales or leasing brokerage  commissions;  or (iv) executive salaries
of off-site  personnel  employed by Landlord  except for the charge (or pro rata
share) of the manager of the  property and  building;  (v) any costs or expenses
resulting  from the  presence of Hazardous  Substances  as are  attributable  to
Tenant, (as described in Exhibit B) on the date hereof or at any time during the
Term.

6.       OPTION TO EXTEND LEASE.

         Tenant  shall have the right and option (the  "Option")  to extend this
Lease for all (but not part) of the Premises, as hereinafter  provided,  for two
(2) periods of five (5) years each  (hereinafter  referred  to as "Renewal  Term
One" and  "Renewal  Term Two")  provided  that (i) there is not then an Event of
Default at the time of exercise of the Option nor at the  commencement of either
of the Renewal Terms;  or (ii) that Tenant has not received  written notice from
Landlord of a default in rent  payments more than five (5) times during the last
two (2) years of the lease term or renewal period.  Tenant's right to extend for
any  Renewal  Term shall  lapse  without  further  act or deed if Tenant has not
exercised its option to extend for all available preceding Renewal Terms.
         The  Option  shall be  exercised  by Tenant  giving  written  notice to
Landlord of Tenant's  intention  to exercise  said Option on or before that date
which is not more than twelve (12) months nor less than nine (9) months prior to
the then applicable  expiration date for the Term.  Unless Landlord has received
such written  notice of Tenant's  intention to exercise  said Option  within the
time period specified herein,  then Landlord shall have no further obligation to
offer the  Premises to the  Tenant.  If Tenant has not  exercised  its Option to
extend the Terms as  outlined  herein,  Landlord  shall be  entitled to show the
Premises at least nine (9) months prior to the expiration of each Term and offer
the  Premises for lease to any other  prospective  tenants.  Landlord  will give
Tenant at least 24 hours notice prior to such showings to  prospective  tenants.
The Option  contained  herein is personal to Tenant and shall not be assigned or
sublet to  another  party,  except as to such  party  that  purchases  Tenant or
Tenant's assets.

                                       4



         Rental  rates will be at then Fair Market Rate,  but, in no case,  less
than the current Base Rent then in effect for the Premises. The Fair Market Rent
shall be established by agreement between Landlord and Tenant in accordance with
the FAIR MARKET RENT  DEFINITION  section or, failing  agreement,  in accordance
with the ARBITRATION PROCEDURES section.

7.       FAIR MARKET RENT DEFINITION

         "Fair  Market  Rent" shall mean the base rent that the  Landlord  would
receive as of the commencement  date in question if it were to lease to a tenant
with a credit  standing  which Landlord  reasonably  determines is comparable to
that of Tenant for similar  sized  space,  similar  leasehold  improvements  and
similar other terms and conditions.  For purposes of the  determination of "Fair
Market  Rent," it shall be assumed  that  Landlord  and  Tenant are each  ready,
willing  and able to enter into such a lease but are under no  compulsion  to do
so.

8.       ARBITRATION PROCEDURES

         The parties to this Lease will initially attempt to agree upon the Fair
Market  Rate.  If they have been unable to so agree  within the period that they
are required to agree as to such matter  under the Lease,  then either party may
request by written  notice to the other party  ("Arbitration  Request") that the
matter be determined by binding  arbitration by an arbitration  board consisting
of three reputable MAI appraisers who are recognized  experts  regarding  office
leases in the Twin Cities area. One arbitrator  will be appointed by each party,
and each such  arbitrator  will have no  material  financial  or other  business
interest in common with the party selecting such arbitrator. If a party fails to
appoint an  arbitrator  and notify the other  party of such  appointment  within
thirty (30) days after the Arbitration Request is made, then the arbitrator that
was  appointed  by the other party  within  such 30-day  period will be the sole
arbitrator.  If two  arbitrators  are  properly  appointed  and such  first  two
arbitrators  are unable to agree on a third  arbitrator  within thirty (30) days
after the appointment of the second arbitrator,  then such third arbitrator will
be appointed by the presiding  judge of Ramsey County  District Court, or by any
person to whom such presiding judge formally  delegates the matter,  or, if such
methods of appointment fail, by the American Arbitration Association.
         The parties will submit a copy of this Lease to the sole  arbitrator or
the three  arbitrators,  as the case may be. In  establishing  the definition of
Fair Market  Rent,  the  arbitrator  or  arbitrators  shall  apply the  standard
described in the FAIR MARKET RENT  DEFINITION  section.  If the  arbitration  is
conducted  by a sole  arbitrator,  such sole  arbitrator  will render his or her
determination  of the Fair Market Rate applicable  during the period in question
to the parties by the  thirtieth  (30th) day after the  Arbitration  Request was
made. If the arbitration is conducted by three arbitrators, each arbitrator will
submit his or her determination(s) of the Fair Market Rate applicable during the
period in question in a sealed  envelope by the  thirtieth  (30th) day following
appointment of the last arbitrator, and any determinations not submitted by such
time  shall  be  disregarded.  In such  cases,  the  parties  will  

                                       5



meet on such thirtieth  (30th) day (or if it is not a business day, on the first
business day  thereafter) at the office of Landlord,  or such other place as the
parties  may  agree,  and  simultaneously  deliver  the  determinations.  If the
determinations of at least two of the arbitrators are identical in amount,  such
amount will be deemed the decision of the arbitrators.  If the  determination of
the three  arbitrators  are  different  in amount,  the  decision as to the Fair
Market Rate will be independently determined as follows:
         (i) If neither the highest nor lowest  determination  differs  from the
middle  determination  by  more  than  fifteen  (15%)  percent  of  such  middle
determination,  then the decision  will be deemed to be the average of the three
determinations; and
         (ii) If clause (i) does not apply,  then the decision will be deemed to
be the  average of the middle  determination  and the  determination  closest in
amount to such middle determination.
         The decision of the arbitrators, determined as above set forth, will be
final and nonappealable.  The fees and expenses of the arbitrator or arbitrators
will be shared  equally by Landlord  and Tenant.  During the period of time that
any  arbitration  is pending  under this  Lease,  the parties to this Lease will
continue to comply with all those terms and provisions  that are not the subject
of the arbitration.

9.       USE.

         Tenant  shall use the Premises  only for general  office use, as a data
processing center and other reasonably related activities,  or only as otherwise
outlined  and  stated  in  this  lease  and for no  other  purpose  without  the
Landlord's prior written consent. Tenant shall not do, bring or keep anything in
or about the Premises that will cause a cancellation  of any insurance  covering
the Premises or the building in which the  Premises are located;  provided  that
Tenant's use for those purposes specified in the preceding sentence shall not be
prohibited. If the rate of any insurance carried by the Landlord is increased as
a result of Tenant's  use,  Tenant  shall pay to  Landlord  within ten (10) days
after written  demand from  Landlord,  the amount of any such  increase.  Tenant

shall Landlord) to make any material capital improvements required by such laws,
ordinances,  orders,  rules and  regulations.  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 $25,000.
Tenant  shall not use or permit the use of the  Premises in any manner that will
tend to create waste or a nuisance or, if there shall be more than one tenant of

agent has made any representation or warranty to Tenant as to the suitability of
the Premises for the conduct of Tenant's business.

property to be assessed and billed separately from the property of the Landlord.

property,  Tenant shall pay to Landlord the taxes  attributable to Tenant within

11.      MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS.

         (a)  Landlord's  Obligations.  Except  as  provided  in the  DAMAGE  OR
DESTRUCTION   section,  and  except  for  damage  caused  by  any  negligent  or
intentional act or omission of Tenant, Tenant's agents,  employees, or invitees,
Landlord at its sole cost and expense  shall keep in good  condition  and repair
the  foundations,  exterior walls,  and exterior roof of the Premises.  Landlord
shall also  maintain  the  unexposed  electrical,  plumbing  and sewage  systems
including,  without limitation,  those portions of the systems lying outside the
Premises; window frames, gutters and down spouts on the building, all sidewalks,
landscaping and other  improvements  that are a part of the Premises or of which
the  Premises  are a  part.  The  Landlord  shall  also  maintain  the  heating,
ventilating and air-conditioning systems servicing the Premises.  Landlord shall
have  thirty  (30) days after  notice  from  Tenant to  commence  to perform its
obligations  under this  Section,  and shall  thereafter  diligently  proceed to
complete such  performance,  except that Landlord shall perform its  obligations
immediately  if the  nature  of the  problem  presents  a  hazard  or  emergency
situation. If Landlord fails to perform Landlord's obligations as stated herein,
Tenant may at its  option  (but  shall not be  required  to) after ten (10) days
prior written notice to Landlord,  cure such failure,  and the reasonable  costs
thereof  together  with  interest  thereon at the rate of ten percent  (10%) per
annum may be deducted by Tenant  from the next  payments of rent and  additional
rent payable hereunder.
         (b) Tenant's  Obligations.  Subject to the provisions of  Sub-paragraph

condition and repair,  and the costs thereof  together with interest  thereon at
the rate of ten  (10%)  percent  per  annum  shall  become  due and  payable  as
additional rental to Landlord together with Tenant's next rental installment.

12.      ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS.

         (a) Tenant agrees that  no tenant improvements are necessary and Tenant
hereby accepts the Premises on an as is basis.
         (b) Tenant shall not,  without the  Landlord's  prior written  consent,
make any alterations,  improvements or additions in or about the Premises except
for non-structural work. As a condition to giving any such consent, the Landlord
may  reserve  the right to require  the  Tenant to remove any such  alterations,
improvements,  or additions at the  expiration  of the term,  and to restore the
Premises to their prior  condition  by giving  Tenant  thirty (30) days  written
notice prior to the  expiration  of the term that  Landlord  requires  Tenant to
remove any such  alterations,  improvements or additions that Tenant has made to
the Premises.  If Landlord so elects,  Tenant at its sole cost shall restore the
Premises to the condition designated by Landlord in its election before the last
day of the term of the Lease.
         Before commencing any work relating to the alterations,  additions,  or
improvements affecting the Premises,  Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of
the expected date of the commencement of such work so that Landlord can post and
record the appropriate  notices of  non-responsibility  to protect Landlord from
any  mechanic's  liens,  materialman  liens,  or any other liens.  In any event,
Tenant shall pay, when due, all claims for labor and  materials  furnished to or
for Tenant at or for use in the Premises. Tenant shall not permit any mechanic's
liens or materialman's  liens to be levied against the Premises for any labor or
material  furnished  to Tenant or  claimed to have been  furnished  to Tenant or
Tenant's  agents  or  contractors  in  connection  with  work  of any  character
performed  or  claimed  to have  been  performed  on the  Premises  by or at the
direction of Tenant.  Tenant shall have the right to protest the validity of any
such lien if,  onwithin  thirty  (30) days  after  demand  by  Landlord,  Tenant
procures and records a lien release bond meeting the  requirements  of Minnesota
law and shall  provide for the payment of any sum that the  claimant may recover
on the  claim  (together  with  the  costs of suit,  if it is  recovered  in the
action).
         Unless the Landlord  requires  their  removal as set forth  above,  all
alterations,  improvements  or  additions  which are made on the Premises by the
Tenant  shall  become  the  property  of the  Landlord  and  remain  upon and be
surrendered with the Premises at the expiration of the term. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this paragraph, Tenant's trade fixtures, furniture,  equipment and
other  machinery,  other than that which is affixed to the  Premises  so that it
cannot be removed without material or structural  damage to the Premises,  shall
remain the property of the Tenant and removed by Tenant at the expiration of the
term of this Lease.

13.      INSURANCE; INDEMNITY.

         (a)      Fire Insurance.
                  Landlord  at its cost shall  maintain  during the term of this
Lease on the  Premises  a policy  or  policies  of  standard  fire and  extended
coverage  insurance  to the  extent of at least  eighty  (80%)  percent  of full
replacement value thereof.
                  Tenant  at its cost  shall  maintain  during  the term of this
Lease on all its personal property, Tenant's improvements, and alterations in or
about the Premises,  a policy of standard fire and extended coverage  insurance,
with vandalism and malicious  mischief  endorsements to the extent of their full
replacement value. The proceeds from any such policy shall be used by Tenant for
the replacement of personal property or the restoration of Tenant's improvements
or alterations.
         (b)      Liability Insurance.
                  Tenant at its sole cost and expense shall maintain  during the
term of this Lease public  liability and property damage insurance with a single
combined liability limit of not less than two million  ($2,000,000.00)  dollars,
and property damage limits of not less than five hundred thousand  ($500,000.00)
dollars,   insuring   against  all  liability  of  Tenant  and  its   authorized
representatives  arising out of and in connection with Tenant's use or occupancy
of the Premises.  Both public liability  insurance and property damage insurance
shall insure performance by Tenant of the indemnity  provisions in Sub-paragraph
(d)  below,  but the limits of such  insurance  shall  not,  however,  limit the
liability  of Tenant  hereunder.  Both  Landlord  and  Tenant  shall be named as
additional   insureds,   and  the   policies   shall   contain   cross-liability
endorsements. All public liability, property damage and other casualty insurance
policies shall be written as primary policies, not contributing with, and not as
excess to coverage which Landlord may carry.  Prior to occupancy and thereafter,
within at least fifteen (15) days of the expiration of any such policies, Tenant
agrees to deliver to Landlord,  certificates evidencing such insurance, provided
said certificates  contain an endorsement  stating that such insurance cannot be
modified or canceled,  nor the amount thereof  reduced,  except upon thirty (30)
days prior  written  notice to  Landlord.  If Tenant  shall fail to procure  and
maintain such  insurance the Landlord may, but shall not be required to, procure
and maintain same at the expense of Tenant and the cost  thereof,  together with
interest  thereon at the rate of ten (10%)  percent per annum,  shall become due
and payable as additional  rental to Landlord together with Tenant's next rental
installment.
         (c)      Waiver of Subrogation.
                  Tenant and Landlord each waives any and all rights of recovery
against  the  other,   or  against  the   officers,   employees,   agents,   and
representatives of the other, for loss of or damage to such waiving party or its
property or the property of others under its control,  where such loss or damage
is insured against under any insurance  policy in force at the time of such loss
or damage or is insurable  under the broad form Special  Cause of Loss  building
and  personal  property  insurance  policy  customarily  used  in the  State  of
Minnesota. Each party shall cause each insurance policy obtained by it hereunder
to provide  that the  insurance  company  waives all right of

                                       9



recovery by way of  subrogation  against  either  party in  connection  with any
damage covered by any such policy.
         (d)      Hold Harmless.
                  Tenant shall  indemnify  and hold  Landlord  harmless from and
against  any and all  claims  arising  from  Tenant's  use or  occupancy  of the
Premises or from the  conduct of its  business or from any  activity,  work,  or
things  which may be  permitted  or suffered by Tenant in or about the  Premises
including all damage, costs,  attorney's fees, expenses and liabilities incurred
in the defense of any claim or action or proceeding  arising  therefrom.  Except
for Landlord's willful or negligent  conduct,  Tenant hereby assumes all risk of
damage to property or injury to person in or about the Premises  from any cause,
and Tenant hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Landlord.
         (e)      Exemption of Landlord from Liability.
                  Except for  Landlord's  willful or negligent  conduct,  Tenant
hereby  agrees  that  Landlord  shall not be liable for any  injury to  Tenant's
business  or loss  of  income  therefrom  or for  damage  to the  goods,  wares,
merchandise,  or  other  property  of  Tenant,  Tenant's  employees,   invitees,
customers or any other person in or about the  Premises,  nor shall  Landlord be
liable  for  injury  to  the  person  of  Tenant,  Tenant's  employees,  agents,
contractors,  or invitees, whether such damage or injury is caused by or results
from  fire,  steam,  electricity,  gas,  water  or rain,  or from the  breakage,
leakage,  obstruction or other defects of pipes, sprinklers,  wires, appliances,
plumbing,  air-conditioning,  or  lighting  fixtures,  or from any other  cause,
whether such damage  results from  conditions  arising upon the Premises or upon
other  portions of the building in which the  Premises  are a part,  or from any
other sources or places.  Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any damages
arising from any act or neglect of any other tenant,  if any, of the building in
which the Premises are located.

14.      DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.

         (a)      Damage - Insured.
                  If,  during the term of this Lease,  the  Premises  and/or the
building and other improvements in which the Premises are located are totally or
partially destroyed rendering the Premises totally or partially  inaccessible or
unusable,  and such damage or destruction was caused by a casualty covered under
an insurance policy required to be maintained hereunder,  Landlord shall restore
the Premises  and/or the building and other  improvements  in which the Premises
are located into  substantially  the same  condition as they were in immediately
before such damage or  destruction,  provided that the  restoration  can be made
under the  existing  laws and can be completed  within one hundred  twenty (120)
working days after the date of such  destruction or damage.  Such destruction or
damage shall not terminate this Lease.
                  If the restoration cannot be made in said 120 day period, then
within fifteen (15) days after the parties hereto determine that the restoration
cannot be made in the time stated in this  paragraph  but,  in any event  within
thirty (30) days of such damage or destruction,  Tenant may terminate this 

                                       10



Lease  immediately  by giving  notice to  Landlord  and the Lease will be deemed
canceled  as of the date of such  damage  or  destruction.  If  Tenant  fails to
terminate this Lease and the  restoration is permitted  under the existing laws,
Landlord, at its option, may terminate this Lease or restore the Premises and/or
any other  improvements  in which the Premises  are located  within a reasonable
time and this Lease shall  continue in full force and  effect.  If the  existing
laws do not  permit  the  restoration,  either  party can  terminate  this Lease
immediately by giving notice to the other party.
                  Notwithstanding the above, if the Tenant is the insuring party
and if the insurance  proceeds received by Landlord are not sufficient to effect
such  repair,  Landlord  shall give  notice to Tenant of the amount  required in
addition  to the  insurance  proceeds  to effect  such  repair.  Tenant  may, at
Tenant's  option,  contribute  the  required  amount,  but upon failure to do so
within thirty (30) days following such notice,  Landlord's sole remedy shall be,
at  Landlord's  option and with no liability to Tenant,  to cancel and terminate
this Lease.  If Tenant  shall  contribute  such  amount to Landlord  within said
thirty (30) day period,  Landlord  shall make such repairs as soon as reasonably
possible and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. Tenant shall in
no event have any right to reimbursement for any amount so contributed.
         (b)      Damage - Uninsured.
                  In the event that the  Premises  are damaged or destroyed by a
casualty which is not covered by the fire and extended coverage  insurance which
is required to be carried by the party  designated in Article 11(a) above,  then
Landlord  shall restore the same;  provided that if the damage or destruction is
to an extent greater than ten (10%) percent of the then  replacement cost of the
improvements on the Premises (exclusive of Tenant's trade fixtures and equipment
and  exclusive of  foundations  and  footings),  then  Landlord may elect not to
restore and to terminate this Lease. Landlord must give to Tenant written notice
of its  intention  not to restore  within thirty (30) days from the date of such
damage  or  destruction  and,  if not  given,  Landlord  shall be deemed to have
elected  to  restore  and in such  event  shall  repair  any  damage  as soon as
reasonably  possible.  In the event that Landlord  elects to give such notice of
Landlord's  intention to cancel and terminate this Lease,  Tenant shall have the
right, within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, to give written notice
to  Landlord of Tenant's  intention  to repair such damage at Tenant's  expense,
without  reimbursement from Landlord, in which event the Lease shall continue in
full force and effect and Tenant  shall  proceed to make such repairs as soon as
reasonably possible.  If the Tenant does not give such notice within such 10 day
period,  this Lease shall be canceled and be deemed terminated as of the date of
the occurrence of such damage or destruction.
         (c)      Damage Near the End of the Term.
                  If the Premises are totally or partially  destroyed or damaged
during the last twelve (12) months of the term of this Lease,  Landlord  may, at
Landlord's  option,  cancel and terminate this Lease as of the date of the cause
of such damage by given written notice to Tenant of Landlord's election to do so
within  30 days  after  the date of the  occurrence  of such  damage;  provided,
however,  that, if the damage or destruction  occurs within the last twelve (12)
months of the term and if within fifteen (15) days after the date of such 

                                       11



damage or  destruction  Tenant  exercises any option to extend the term provided
herein, Landlord shall restore the Premises if obligated to do so as provided in
subparagraph (a) or (b) above.
         (d)      Abatement of Rent.
                  If the Premises are partially or totally  destroyed or damaged
and Landlord or Tenant  repairs or restores them  pursuant to the  provisions of
this  Article,  the rent and  additional  rent payable  hereunder for the period
during which such damage,  repair or  restoration  continues  shall be abated in
proportion  to the degree to which  Tenant's  reasonable  use of the Premises is
impaired.  Except for the abatement of rent, if any,  Tenant shall have no claim
against  Landlord  for any  damages  suffered  by  reason  of any  such  damage,
destruction, repair or restoration.
         (e)      Trade Fixtures and Equipment.
                  If Landlord  is required or elects to restore the  Premises as
provided in this  Article,  Landlord  shall not be required to restore  Tenant's
improvements,  trade  fixtures,  equipment or alterations  made by Tenant,  such
excluded items being the sole responsibility of Tenant to restore hereunder.

15.      PARKING.

         At no additional  cost,  Landlord  agrees to maintain  (including  snow
removal when  appropriate)  and allow Tenant to use a general  parking area. The
parking area is designated on Exhibit A. Tenant's right to use said parking area
is subject to the public's  parking  rights,  as so  designated by Landlord from
time to time to the City of Arden Hills, for the adjacent park.

16.      CONDEMNATION.

         If the  Premises  or any  portion  thereof  are  taken by the  power of
eminent  domain,  or sold by Landlord under the threat of exercise of said power
(all of which  is  herein  referred  to as  "condemnation"),  this  Lease  shall
terminate as to the part so taken as of the date the condemning  authority takes
title or possession,  whichever  occurs first. If more than twenty (20%) percent
of the floor area of any  buildings on the  Premises,  or more than twenty (20%)
percent of the land area of the Premises not covered with buildings, is taken by
condemnation,  either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the date
the condemning  authority takes possession by notice in writing of such election
within twenty (20) days after Landlord shall have notified Tenant of such taking
or, in the  absence  of such  notice,  then  within  twenty  (20) days after the
condemning authority shall have taken possession. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if such  partial  materially  interferes  with  Tenant's use or occupancy of the
Premises, Tenant shall have the right to terminate the Lease.
         If this  Lease is not  terminated  by  either  Landlord  or  Tenant  as
provided  hereinabove,  then it shall  remain in full force and effect as to the
portion of the Premises remaining,  provided that the rental shall be reduced in
proportion to the floor area of the buildings taken within the Premises as bears
to the total floor area of all buildings  located on the Premises.  In the 

                                       12



event this Lease is not so terminated,  then Landlord  agrees at Landlord's sole
cost and expense,  to as soon as reasonably  possible  restore the Premises to a
complete   unit  of  like  quality  and   character  as  existed  prior  to  the
condemnation.
         All awards for the taking of any part of the  Premises  or any  payment
made under the threat of the  exercise of the power of eminent  domain  shall be
the property of the Landlord, whether made as compensation for the diminution of
the value of the leasehold or for the taking of the fee or as severance damages;
provided,  however,  that  Tenant  shall be entitled to any award for loss of or
damage to Tenant's trade fixtures and removable personal property, good will and
going-concern value.
         Rent  shall be abated or reduced  during  the  period  from the date of
taking  until  the  completion  of  restoration  by  Landlord,   but  all  other
obligations  of Tenant  under this Lease shall  remain in full force and effect.
The abatement or reduction of the rent shall be based on the extent to which the
restoration interferes with Tenant's use of the Premises.

17.      ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

         Landlord's  rights under this Lease may be assigned or conveyed without
notice to Tenant,  but such assignment or conveyance  shall not relieve Landlord
of any of its  obligations  hereunder  and shall not be valid as to Tenant until
ten (10) days after Tenant  receives  written notice  thereof.  Tenant shall not
voluntarily  or by  operation  of law assign,  transfer,  sublet,  mortgage,  or
otherwise  transfer  or encumber  all or any part of  Tenant's  interest in this
Lease or in the Premises without  Landlord's prior written consent which consent
shall  not  be  unreasonably  withheld.  Any  attempted  assignment,   transfer,
mortgage,  encumbrance,  or  subletting  without such consent  shall be void and
shall constitute a breach of this Lease. Tenant's extension rights in this Lease
Agreement  are not  assignable  except  in  connection  with a sale of Tenant or
Tenant's assets.  Regardless of Landlord's  consent, no subletting or assignment
shall release  Tenant of Tenant's  obligation to pay the rent and to perform all
other  obligations  to be  performed  by Tenant  hereunder  for the term of this
Lease.  The  acceptance  of rent by Landlord  from any other person shall not be
deemed a waiver by Landlord of any provision  hereof.  Consent to one assignment
or  subletting  shall not be deemed  consent  to any  subsequent  assignment  or
subletting.

18.      DEFAULT

         (a)      Events of Default.
                  The  occurrence  of any one or more  of the  following  events
shall constitute a default and breach of this Lease by Tenant:
                  (1) Failure to pay rent when due, if the failure continues for
five (5) days after written notice has been given to Tenant.
                  (2) Tenant shall be  considered in default under the Lease for
the  abandonment  of the  Premises  if the  Premises  are not kept in an orderly
condition  and the rent is not paid in  accordance  with the  terms of the Lease
within the grace periods provided in paragraphs (1) and (3) of this section.

                                       13



                  (3)  Failure to perform any other  provision  of this Lease if
the failure to perform is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice
thereof has been given to Tenant by Landlord.  If the default cannot  reasonably
be cured  within said thirty  (30) day  period,  Tenant  shall not be in default
under this Lease if Tenant  commences to cure the default within the thirty (30)
day period and diligently prosecutes the same to completion.
                  (4) The making by Tenant of any general assignment, or general
arrangement  for the benefit of creditors;  the filing by or against Tenant of a
petition to have Tenant adjudged a bankrupt or a petition for  reorganization or
arrangement  under any law relating to  bankruptcy  unless the same is dismissed
within  sixty (60)  days;  the  appointment  of a trustee  or  receiver  to take
possession of substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of
Tenant's  interest  in the 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 the Lease,  where such seizure is not discharged  within thirty (30)
days.
         Notices given under this  paragraph  shall specify the alleged  default
and the applicable  lease  provisions,  and shall demand that Tenant perform the
provisions  of this Lease or pay the rent that is in arrears as the case may be,
within  the  applicable  period  of  time.  No such  notice  shall  be  deemed a
forfeiture  or a  termination  of this Lease  unless  Landlord  so elects in the
notice.
         (b)      Landlord's Remedies.
                  The  Landlord  shall  have the  following  remedies  if Tenant
commits a default  under this Lease.  These  remedies are not  exclusive but are
cumulative and in addition to any remedies now or hereafter allowed by law.
         Landlord  can  continue  this Lease in full force and  effect,  and the
Lease will continue in effect so long as Landlord  does not  terminate  Tenant's
right to possession,  and the Landlord shall have the right to collect rent when
due.  During  the  period  that  Tenant is in  default,  Landlord  can enter the
Premises  and relet them,  or any part of them,  to third  parties for  Tenant's
account.  Tenant shall be liable  immediately  to the Landlord for all costs the
Landlord  incurs in  reletting  the  Premises,  including,  without  limitation,
brokers'  commissions,  expenses  of  remodeling  the  Premises  required by the
reletting,  and like costs. Reletting can be for a period shorter or longer than
the  remaining  term of this Lease.  Tenant  shall pay to Landlord  the rent due
under this Lease on the dates the rent is due, less the rent  Landlord  receives
from any reletting. No act by Landlord allowed by this paragraph shall terminate
this Lease unless  Landlord  notifies  Tenant that Landlord  elects to terminate
this  Lease.  After  Tenant's  default  and  for so  long  as  Landlord  has not
terminated  Tenant's  right to  possession of the  Premises,  if Tenant  obtains
Landlord's consent, Tenant shall have the right to assume or sublet its interest
in the Lease,  but  Tenant  shall not be  released  from  liability.  Landlord's
consent to the  proposed  assignment  or  subletting  shall not be  unreasonably
withheld.
         If Landlord elects to relet the Premises as provided in this paragraph,
any rent that  Landlord  receives from such  reletting  shall apply first to the
payment of any indebtedness from Tenant to Landlord other than the rent 

                                       14



due from Tenant to  Landlord;  secondly,  to all costs,  including  maintenance,
incurred by Landlord in such  reletting;  and third,  to any rent due and unpaid
under this Lease.  After  deducting the payments  referred to in this paragraph,
any sum remaining from the rent Landlord  receives from such reletting  shall be
held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as rent becomes due under
this Lease.  In no event shall tenant be entitled to any excess rent received by
Landlord.  If, on the date rent is due under this, Lease, the rent received from
the  reletting  is less  than the rent due on that  date,  Tenant  shall  pay to
Landlord,  in  addition  to  the  remaining  rent  due,  all  costs,   including
maintenance,  that Landlord  shall have incurred in reletting  that remain after
applying the rent received from the reletting as provided in this paragraph.
         If Tenant is in default and such default is  continuing,  Landlord can,
at its option,  terminate  Tenant's  right to  possession of the Premises at any
time.  No act by  Landlord  other than  giving  written  notice to Tenant  shall
terminate this Lease. Acts of maintenance or efforts to relet the Premises shall
not constitute a termination  of Tenant's  right to possession.  In the event of
such termination, Landlord has the right to recover from Tenant:
         (1) The unpaid rent that had been earned at the time of the termination
of this Lease;  
         (2) The present value (using a discount factor  equal to treasury rates
for a  comparable  period)  of the amount of rent that would have been due under
the  lease  from the time of  termination  to the end of the term of this  Lease
Agreement in excess of the Fair Market Rental Value of the Premises;
         (3) Notwithstanding  Article 18(b)(2) above,  Landlord,  at its option,
may defer  terminating  the Lease  until  such  time as  Landlord  has relet the
Premises.  In such case,  Landlord  has the right to recover from the Tenant the
amount of rent  that  would  have been due under the Lease  from the time of the
determination less the proceeds attributable to the reletting of the Premises;
         (4) Any   other  amount, including court costs, necessary to compensate
Landlord for all detriment proximately caused by Tenant's default;
         (5) Any damage or loss of rent  sustained  by Landlord may be recovered
by Landlord,  at Landlord's  option, at the time of the reletting or in separate
actions  from time to time as said  damage  shall have been  ascertained  or, at
Landlord's  option,  may be deferred  until the expiration of the Term (in which
event Tenant  hereby agrees that the cause of action shall not be deemed to have
accrued until the date of expiration of the Term).  The provisions  contained in
this  Article  18(b)(5)  shall be in  addition  to and  shall  not  prevent  the
enforcement  of any claim  Landlord  may have  against  Tenant for  anticipatory
breach of the unexpired term of this Lease.
         Landlord at any time after  Tenant  commits a default,  after notice to
Tenant can cure the default at  Tenant's  cost and  expense.  If Landlord at any
time, by reason of Tenant's default,  pays any sum or does any act that requires
the payment of any sum, the sum paid by Landlord shall be due  immediately  from
Tenant  to  Landlord  at the time the sum is paid,  and if paid at a later  date
shall bear  interest at the maximum  rate an  individual  is permitted by law to
charge from the date the sum is paid by Landlord until

                                       15



Landlord is reimbursed by Tenant. The sum, together with interest thereon, shall
be considered additional rent.

19.      SIGNS.

         Tenant  shall not have the right to place,  construct  or maintain  any
sign,  advertisement,  awning,  banner,  or other  exterior  decorations  on the
building or property of the  Landlord or other  improvements  that are a part of
the  Premises  (except  those  existing on the date hereof)  without  Landlord's
prior,  written consent. Any signs that are placed on the Landlord's property or
the Premises  shall be at the sole expense of Tenant and shall  conform with all
applicable  zoning laws.  Tenant agrees to maintain its signs in good repair, to
remove  its signs at the end of the term or any  intended  term,  repairing  any
damage caused by such removal, and to hold Landlord harmless from any loss, cost
or damages  resulting  from the erection,  existence,  maintenance or removal of
Tenant's signs.

20.      SUBORDINATION.

         This Lease,  at Landlord's  option,  shall be subordinate to any ground
lease,  mortgage,  deed of trust, or any other hypothecation for security now or
hereafter  placed upon the real property of which the Premises are a part and to
any  and  all  advances  made  on the  security  thereof  and  to  all  renewal,
modifications,  and extensions thereof.  Notwithstanding any such subordination,
Tenant's  right to quiet  possession of the Premises and other rights under this
Lease shall not be disturbed and shall be recognized if Tenant is not in default
and so long as Tenant  shall pay the rent and  observe and perform all the other
provisions of this Lease within the periods of grace provided for herein, unless
this Lease is  otherwise  terminated  pursuant to its terms.  If any  mortgagee,
trustee,  or ground  lessor  shall elect to have this Lease prior to the lien of
its mortgage or deed of trust or ground  lease,  and shall give  written  notice
thereof to Tenant,  this Lease shall be deemed prior to such  mortgage,  deed of
trust or ground lease, whether this Lease is dated prior to or subsequent to the
date of such mortgage,  deed of trust or ground lease,  or the date of recording
thereof.  Tenant  agrees to  execute  any  documents  required  to  effect  such
subordination  or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any mortgage,  deed of
trust, or ground lease, as the case may be, and failing to do so within ten (10)
days after  written  demand from  Landlord  does  hereby  make,  constitute  and
irrevocably  appoint Landlord as Tenant's attorney in fact and in Tenant's name,
place and stead to do so.

21.      SURRENDER.

         On the last  day of the  term  hereof,  or on any  sooner  termination,
Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in good condition,  broom clean,
ordinary  wear and tear and casualty  damage  excepted.  Tenant shall repair any
damage to the  Premises  occasioned  by its use  thereof,  or by the  removal of
Tenant's trade  fixtures,  furnishings  and equipment which repair shall include
the patching and filling of holes and repair of structural damage.  

                                       16



Tenant shall  remove all of its  personal  property and fixtures on the Premises
prior to the  expiration  of the term of this Lease and if  required by Landlord
pursuant to the  ALTERATIONS  AND  ADDITIONS  section  above,  any  alterations,
improvements  or additions  made by Tenant to the  Premises.  If Tenant fails to
surrender the Premises to Landlord on the expiration of the Lease as required by
this paragraph,  Tenant shall hold Landlord  harmless from all damages resulting
from Tenant's  failure to vacate the Premises,  including,  without  limitation,
claims  made  by any  succeeding  tenant  resulting  from  Tenant's  failure  to
surrender the Premises.

22.      HOLDING OVER.

         If the Tenant,  with the Landlord's  consent,  remains in possession of
the Premises after the expiration or termination of the term of this Lease, such
possession  by Tenant shall be deemed to be a tenancy from  month-to-month  at a
rental of one hundred and fifty  percent  (150%) the amount of the last  monthly
rental plus all other charges payable hereunder, upon all the provisions of this
Lease applicable to  month-to-month  tenancy.  If Landlord's  consent to holding
over is not given, Tenant shall become a tenant-at-sufferance.

23.      BINDING ON SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

         The terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease shall be binding upon
and shall  inure to the  benefit of each of the  parties  hereto,  their  heirs,
personal representatives, successors and permitted assigns.

25.      LANDLORD'S RIGHT TO INSPECTIONS.

         Landlord  and  Landlord's  agent  shall  have the  right  to enter  the
Premises upon 24 hours notice at reasonable  times for the purpose of inspecting
same,  showing the same to  prospective  purchasers or lenders,  and making such
alterations,  repairs,  improvements  or  additions  to the  Premises  or to the
building of which the  Premises  are a part as Landlord  may deem  necessary  or
desirable.  Landlord may at any time place on or about the Premises any ordinary
"For Sale" signs and  Landlord  may at any time during the last ninety (90) days
of the term of this Lease place on or about the Premises any ordinary  "For Sale
or Lease" signs, all without rebate of rent or liability to Tenant.

26.      CHOICE OF LAW.

         This Lease  Agreement  shall be  constructed,  interpreted and enforced
according to the laws of the state of Minnesota.

27.      ATTORNEY'S FEES.

         If either  Landlord  or Tenant  becomes  a party to any  litigation  or
arbitration  concerning  this  Lease,  the  Premises,  or the  building or other
improvements in which the Premises are located, by reason of any act or omission
of the other party or its authorized  representatives,  and not by reason of any
act or omission of the party that becomes a party to that  litigation or any act
or omission of its authorized  representatives,  the party that causes the other
party to become  involved  in the  litigation  shall be liable to that party for
reasonable attorney's fees and court costs incurred by it in the litigation.
         If either party commences an action against the other party arising out
of or in connection with this Lease,  the prevailing  party shall be entitled to
have and recover from the losing party  reasonable  attorney's fees and costs of
suit.

28.      LANDLORD'S LIABILITY.

         The  obligations  contained  in this Lease to be  performed by Landlord
shall be binding upon the Landlord's  successors and assigns,  only during their
respective periods of ownership.

29.      WAIVERS.

         No waiver by Landlord of any provision  hereof shall be deemed a waiver
of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent  breach by Tenant of the same
or any other provision.  Landlord's  consent to or approval of any act shall not
be deemed to render  unnecessary  the  obtaining  of  Landlord's  consent  to or
approval of any  subsequent  act by Tenant.  The acceptance of rent hereunder by
Landlord  shall  not be a  waiver  of any  preceding  breach  by  Tenant  of any
provision hereof, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the

                                       18



particular  rent  so  accepted,  regardless  of  Landlord's  knowledge  of  such
preceding breach at the time of its acceptance of such rent.

30.      INCORPORATION OF PRIOR AGREEMENTS.

         This Lease  contains all  agreements of the parties with respect to any
matter mentioned herein.  No prior agreement or understanding  pertaining to any
such matter shall be effective.  This Lease may be modified only in writing, and
signed by the parties in interest at the time of such modification.

31.      TIME.

         Time is of the essence in this Lease.

32.      SEVERABILITY.

         The  unenforceability,  invalidity,  or  illegality of any provision of
this Lease shall not render the other provisions hereof  unenforceable,  invalid
or illegal.



33.      ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES.

         Each party,  within ten (10) days after  notice  from the other  party,
shall  execute and deliver to the other party a  certificate  stating  that this
Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect, or in full force and effect as
modified,  and stating the  modification.  The certificate  shall also state the

advance, and the amount of any security deposit or prepaid rent, if any, as well
as  acknowledging  that there are not, to that  party's  knowledge,  any uncured
defaults on the part of the other party,  or specifying  such defaults,  if any,
which are claimed. Failure to deliver such a certificate within the ten (10) day
period shall be conclusive  upon the party failing to deliver the certificate to
the benefit of the party  requesting the certificate  that this Lease is in full
force and effect, that there are no uncured defaults hereunder, and has not been
modified except as may be represented by the party requesting the certificate.

34.      ACCEPTANCE OF PREMISES.

         Tenant  acknowledges  that it is currently in occupancy of the Premises
and  accepts  them  in an "as  is"  condition  with  no  renovations  or  Tenant
Improvements  to be  performed by the  Landlord.  If the use or occupancy of the
Premises by Tenant  causes the  Landlord  to be  required  under the ADA to make
additional  modifications  or  alterations  to the  Premises or any of the other
areas of the building or its entrances and parking areas,  then Tenant shall pay
the  cost  of  such  additional  modifications  or  alterations  subject  to the
provisions of Section 9. Landlord  represents  and warrants that, to the best of

                                       19



Landlord's  knowledge  that,  except  for those  areas  listed on Exhibit D, the
Premises do not contain any asbestos containing materials.

35.      COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS.

         Each provision of this Lease performable by Tenant shall be deemed both
a covenant and a condition.

36.      SINGULAR AND PLURAL.

the plural.

37.      USE.

about the  Premises  which  will in any way  conflict  with any law,  statute or
governmental  rule or regulation  now in force or which may hereafter be enacted
or  promulgated.  Tenant  shall fully  comply at its sole expense with all laws,
statutes,  ordinances and governmental rules, regulations or requirements now in
force or which  hereafter  may be in force  other than such laws or  regulations
which require the making of structural  changes,  changes to the Premises'  life
safety system,  plumbing,  air  conditioning,  heating and  electrical  systems.
Tenant shall not be  responsible  for compliance  with any provisions  governing
cleanup,  remediation,  removal or  restoration  work  required by any  federal.
state, or local government agency or political  subdivision because of hazardous
material  present in the soil or ground water on or under the premises except to
the  extent  that  if such  cleanup,  remediation,  removal  or  restoration  is
attributable to Tenant's  actions or failure to act. In such case,  tenant shall
be fully  responsible  for  compliance  and shall  indemnify  and hold  landlord
harmless for any costs, expenses or damages attributable thereto.

38.      ADDENDUM.

         Any addendum or exhibit  attached hereto and either signed or initialed
by the parties shall be deemed a part hereof and shall supersede any conflicting
terms or provisions contained in this Lease.

39.      BROKER.

         Landlord and Tenant each  represent and warrant to the other that it is
not  aware of any  brokers  or  finders  who may  claim a fee or  commission  in
connection  with  the  consummation  of the  transactions  contemplated  by this
Agreement except for The Shellard Group whose fee shall be paid by Landlord. The
said fee for The Shellard Group shall be one dollar ($1.00) per rentable  square
foot.  Said fee will be payable  within thirty (30) days after the  Commencement
Date of this Lease Agreement.

                                       20



         If any other claims for brokers' or finders'  fees in  connection  with
the  transactions  contemplated by this Agreement  arise,  then Tenant agrees to
indemnify, protect, hold harmless and defend Landlord (with counsel satisfactory
to  Landlord)  from and  against any such claims if they shall be based upon any
statement,  representation  or agreement made by Tenant,  and Landlord agrees to
indemnify,  protect,  hold harmless and defend Tenant (with counsel satisfactory
to  Tenant)  if such  claims are based  upon any  statement,  representation  or
agreement made by Landlord.

40.      ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE AND REQUIREMENTS

         Tenant shall fully comply with the  requirements set forth in Exhibit B
attached hereto and incorporated herein.

41.      SOLICITATION

Landlord or Tenant  shall  intentionally  solicit to hire the  employees  of the
other party without advance written approval of the other party.

42.      QUIET ENJOYMENT

         Landlord covenants that Tenant,  upon performing the terms,  conditions
and  covenants of this lease,  shall have quiet and peaceful  possession  of the
Premises as against any person.

43.      FAIR DEALING AND CONSENTS

         It is mutually  understood  and agreed to between  Landlord  and Tenant
that each party will act fairly  and  reasonably  with the other in all  matters
pertaining to this Lease Agreement.  Where a consent or approval is required, it
will not be unreasonably withheld, denied or delayed by either party.

44.      FORCE MAJEURE

         Landlord  shall  be  excused  for  the  period  of  any  delay  in  the
performance of any obligations hereunder,  when prevented from so doing by cause
or causes beyond Landlord's control which shall include, without limitation, all
labor disputes, civil commotion, war, war-like operations,  invasion, rebellion,
hostilities,  military or usurped power, sabotage,  governmental  regulations or
controls,  fire or other casualty,  inability to obtain any material services or
through  acts of God.  Tenant  shall  similarly  be  excused  for  delay  in the
performance of obligations hereunder provided:
         (a) nothing  contained  in this  Paragraph  or  elsewhere in this Lease
shall be deemed to excuse  or  permit  any delay in the  payment  of any sums of
money required  hereunder,  or any delay in the cure of any default which may be
cured by the payment of money;
         (b) no reliance by Tenant  upon this  Paragraph shall limit or restrict
in any way Landlord's right of self-help as provided in this Lease; and

                                       21



         (c) Tenant shall not be entitled to rely upon this Paragraph  unless it
shall  advise  Landlord  in  writing,  of the  existence  of any  force  majeure
preventing the performance of an obligation of Tenant within five (5) days after
becoming aware of the delay resulting from force majeure.

45.      SECURITY DEPOSIT

         Landlord  acknowledges that Tenant has paid Landlord a Security Deposit
of  thirty-three  thousand  five  hundred  dollars  ($33,500.00)  prior  to  the
Commencement  Date of this Lease Agreement.  If Tenant is in arrears in its Rent
payment or other financial obligations to Landlord, subject Security Deposit may
be applied to current Rent or such other financial  obligations owed to Landlord
and Tenant will immediately replenish the Security Deposit in full. After August
1,  1997,  if Tenant is not in  default,  is  current  in its Rent  payments  to
Landlord  and has met its full  financial  obligations,  within  sixty (60) days
after receipt of a written request from Tenant,  Landlord will issue a credit of
subject Security Deposit to Tenant's monthly rental payment due Landlord.

46.      RIGHT OF NOTICE TO PURCHASE PROPERTY

         Not less than sixty (60) days prior to accepting  any offer to purchase
or making any offer to sell the  Premises or the  property of which the Premises
are a part,  Landlord  shall notify  Tenant in writing and advise  Tenant of the
price at which Landlord intends to list such property or otherwise is willing to
accept for sale of such property. Landlord agrees to entertain in good faith any
purchase  offer made by Tenant for such property  after giving such notice,  but
this  provision  shall  not be  deemed  to be an  agreement  for the sale of any
property on any terms.

The parties hereto have executed this Lease on the date first above written.

                              OFFICE BUILDING LEASE


1.     PARTIES This Lease,  dated, for reference purposes only, July 10, 1993 is
       made by and  between  The Joseph  and Eda Pell  Revocable  Trust  (herein
       called  "Landlord")  and Fair,  Isaac and Company,  Incorporated  (herein
       called "Tenant").

2.     PREMISES  Landlord  does hereby lease to Tenant and Tenant  hereby leases
       from  Landlord  that certain  office  space  (herein  called  "Premises")
       indicated on Exhibit "A"  attached  hereto and  reference  thereto made a
       part hereof,  said Premises being agreed, for the purposes of this Lease,
       to have an area of  approximately  35,261 rentable square feet and 33,140
       useable  square feet,  being situated in Suite 200 on the second floor of
       that certain Building known as Regency Center,  100 Smith Ranch Road, San
       Rafael, CA 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  and that this Lease is made upon the  condition  of said
       performance.

3.     TERM The term of this Lease shall be for seven (7) years,  commencing  on
       the 1st day of  December,  1994,  and ending on the 30th day of November,
       2001.

       See Addendum to Lease, P. 4, Commencement.

4.     POSSESSION See Addendum to Lease, P. 3, Possession.

5.     A.    RENT Tenant  agrees to pay to Landlord as rental for the  premises,
             without  prior notice or demand,  the sum of Seventy  Thousand Five
             Hundred Twenty-two Dollars  ($70,522.00) on or before the first day
             of the first full calendar  month of the term hereof and a like sum
             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 of this Lease.  Rent
             for any period during the term 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 100 Smith Ranch Road, Suite 325, San Rafael,  California
             94903,  or to such other  place as  Landlord  may from time to time
             designate in writing.

             See Addendum to Lease, P. 5, Free Rent.

       B.    RENT  ESCALATIONS  Commencing  on the  12th  month  of  this  lease
             (December 1, 1995) and on each annual  anniversary  following,  the
             base  rent  shall  be  adjusted  by the  increase,  if any,  in the
             Consumer Price Index of the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U. S.
             Department    of   Labor    for   All    Urban    Consumers,    San
             Francisco-Oakland-San Jose (1984=100),  "All Items" herein referred
             to as "C.P.I."

             The C.P.I.  increase shall be calculated as follows:  The base rent
             payable for the first month term of this lease shall be  multiplied
             by the percentage  change in the C.P.I. for the 12 months preceding
             December  1, 1995.  On each  anniversary  following,  the base rent
             shall be multiplied by the percentage  change in the C.P.I. for the
             12 months  preceding.  No single  increase  shall  exceed 4% of the
             previous  year's  rental rate and in 




             no event shall the new monthly  rent be less than the rent  payable
             for the month immediately preceding the date for rent adjustment.

6.     SECURITY  DEPOSIT  Tenant shall  deposit with Landlord the sum of Seventy
       Thousand Five Hundred Twenty-two Dollars  ($70,522.00),  on or before the
       Date of Possession,  See Addendum to LeaseP. 3. 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.  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 this 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 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.
       Landlord  shall not be required to keep this  security  deposit  separate
       from its  general  fund and Tenant  shall not be  entitled to interest on
       such  deposit.  If  Tenant  shall  fully  and  faithfully  perform  every
       provision of this Lease to be  performed  by it, the security  deposit or
       any balance  thereof  shall be  returned  to Tenant  (or,  at  Landlord's
       option,  to the last  assignee of  Tenant's  interest  hereunder)  at the
       expiration of the Lease term. In the event of  termination  of Landlord's
       interest  in  this  Lease,   Landlord  shall  transfer  said  deposit  to
       Landlord's successor in interest.

7.     OPERATING  EXPENSE  ADJUSTMENTS  For the  purposes of this  Article,  the
       following terms are defined as follows:

       BASE YEAR             The Base Year shall be 1995.

       COMPARISON YEAR       Each calendar year of the term after the Base Year.

       DIRECT EXPENSES       All direct costs of operation and  maintenance,  as
                             determined   by  standard   accounting   practices,
                             including   the   following   costs   by   way   of
                             illustration,  but not be limited to: real property
                             taxes and  assessments;  rent taxes,  gross receipt
                             taxes,  (whether  assessed  against the Landlord or
                             assessed  against the Tenant and  collected  by the
                             Landlord,   or  both);  water  and  sewer  charges;
                             insurance premiums; utilities; janitorial services;
                             labor;  costs  incurred  in the  management  of the
                             Building;  air  conditioning  &  heating;  elevator
                             maintenance;  supplies;  materials;  equipment  and
                             tools;  and  maintenance,  costs and  upkeep of all
                             parking and common areas.  ("Direct Expenses" shall
                             not include  depreciation  on the Building of which
                             the Premises are a part or equipment therein,  loan
                             payments,   executive   salaries   or  real  estate
                             broker's commissions.)

       If the  Direct  Expenses  paid  or  incurred  by  the  Landlord  for  the
       Comparison  Year  on  account  of the  operation  or  maintenance  of the
       Building  of which the  Premises  are a part are in excess of the  Direct
       Expenses  paid or incurred  for the Base Year,  then the Tenant shall pay
       33.90% of the  increase.  This  percentage  is that  portion of the total
       rentable area of the Building occupied by the Tenant hereunder.  Landlord
       shall  endeavor  to give to Tenant on or before the first day of March of
       each year  following the  respective  Comparison  Year a statement of the
       increase in rent payable by Tenant hereunder,  but failure by Landlord to
       give  such  statement  

                                       2



       by said date shall not  constitute  a waiver by  Landlord of its right to
       require an increase in rent.  Upon receipt of the statement for the first
       Comparison  Year,  Tenant  shall  pay in full  the  total  amount  of the
       increase due for the first  Comparison Year and, in addition for the then
       current  year,  the  amount  of any  such  increase  shall  be used as an
       estimate  for said  current  year and this amount  shall be divided  into
       twelve (12) equal monthly  installments and Tenant shall pay to Landlord,
       concurrently with the regular monthly rent payment next due following the
       receipt of such statement, an amount equal to one (1) monthly installment
       multiplied  by the number of months from January in the calendar  year in
       which said  statement  is submitted  to the month of such  payment,  both
       months inclusive.  Subsequent  installments shall be payable concurrently
       with the regular  monthly rent  payments for the balance of that calendar
       year and shall continue  until the next  Comparison  Year's  statement is
       rendered.  If the next or any  succeeding  Comparison  Year  results in a
       greater  increase in Direct  Expenses,  then upon  receipt of a statement
       from  Landlord,  Tenant shall pay a lump sum equal to such total increase
       in Direct  Expenses  over the Base  Year,  less the total of the  monthly
       installments  to be paid for the next  year,  following  said  Comparison
       Year,  shall be adjusted to reflect such  increase.  If in any Comparison
       Year the  Tenant's  share of Direct  Expenses be less than the  preceding
       year, then upon receipt of Landlord's statement,  any overpayment made by
       Tenant on the monthly  installment basis provided above shall be credited
       towards  the next  monthly  rent  falling due and the  estimated  monthly
       installments  of Direct  Expenses to be paid shall be adjusted to reflect
       such lower Direct Expenses for the most recent Comparison Year.

       Even though the term has  expired  and Tenant has  vacated the  Premises,
       when the final determination is made of Tenant's share of Direct Expenses
       for the year in which this Lease terminates, Tenant shall immediately pay
       any increase due over the  estimated  expenses  paid and  conversely  any
       overpayment made in the event said expenses decrease shall be immediately
       rebated by Landlord to Tenant.

       Notwithstanding  anything contained in this Article,  the rent payable by
       Tenant  shall in no event be less than the rent  specified  in  Article 5
       above.

       See Addendum to Lease, P. 6,  Operating Expense Adjustments.

8.     USE Tenant shall use the Premises for general  office  purposes and shall
       not use or permit the Premises to be used for any other purposes  without
       the prior written consent of Landlord.

       General  office  purposes  shall be defined for purposes of this Lease to
       include computer rooms of any size required by Tenant.

       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 on injure or annoy them or
       use or allow the Premises to be used for any improper,  immoral, unlawful
       or objectionable  purpose, nor shall 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.


                                       3



9.     COMPLIANCE  WITH 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 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  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
       be 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.

10.    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.
       Any  alterations,  additions  or  improvements  to  or of  said  Premises
       including,  but not limited to, wallcovering,  paneling, air conditioning
       units and built-in  cabinet  work,  but excepting  movable  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 persons, selected by the Tenant to make the same must first
       be  approved  in  writing by the  Landlord.  Such  approval  shall not be
       unreasonably  withheld.  Upon the expiration or sooner termination of the
       term hereof,  Tenant shall, upon written demand by Landlord,  which shall
       be given at the time Landlord  approves the tenant  improvement  work, at
       Tenant's  sole cost and expense,  forthwith  and with all due  diligence,
       remove  any  alterations,  additions,  or  improvements  made by  Tenant,
       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.

11.    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.  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 with ordinary wear and tear  excepted.  Tenant shall upon
             the expiration or sooner termination of this 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 once the initial tenant improvements are completed
             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  11. A.  hereinabove,
             Landlord shall repair and maintain the  structural  portions of the
             Building,  including the basic plumbing, air conditioning,  heating
             and electrical  systems  installed or furnished by Landlord  unless
             such  maintenance and repairs are caused in part or in whole by the
             act,  neglect,  fault or 

                                       4


             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  such  failure   shall  persist  for  an
             unreasonable  time after written notice of the need of such repairs
             or maintenance  is given to Landlord by Tenant.  Except as provided
             in Article 22 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.  Tenant  waives the right to make  repairs  at  Landlord's
             expense  under any law,  statute or  ordinance  now or hereafter in
             effect, (including the provisions of California Civil Code Sections
             1941 and 1942 and any  successor  sections or statutes of a similar
             nature); provided, however, if Landlord fails to perform any repair
             work required of Landlord with respect to the Premises  pursuant to
             this  Paragraph,  within thirty (30) days after  Landlord  receives
             Tenant's written notice of the need for such repair (or such period
             of time in excess of thirty  (30) days as is  reasonably  necessary
             based upon the nature of the required  work),  then Tenant shall be
             permitted  to  make  such  repairs,  using  contractors  reasonably
             approved by Landlord,  provided (i) Tenant first gives  Landlord an
             additional  two (2) business days prior written  notice  indicating
             that Tenant  intends to undertake  such repair,  and (ii)  Landlord
             fails to commence  such repair  within  such two (2)  business  day
             period.  If Tenant  performs  any  repair as  permitted  under this
             Paragraph,  Landlord agrees to reimburse Tenant for the reasonable,
             actual and documented costs of such repair performed by Tenant, but
             without  any  off-set  rights  against  rent or any  other  amounts
             payable by Tenant under this Lease.  Any repair work done by Tenant
             shall be done in  accordance  with the  provisions  of this  Lease,
             including  without  limitation,  Paragraph 12, keeping the premises
             free from liens.

12.    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  cost of any  improvements,  additions or alteration in
       the Premises to insure Landlord  against any liability for mechanics' and
       materialmen's liens and to insure completion of the work.

13.    ASSIGNMENT  AND  SUBLETTING  Tenant  shall not either  voluntarily  or by
       operation of law, assign,  transfer,  mortgage,  pledge, or encumber this
       Lease or any interest therein,  and shall not sublet the said Premises or
       any part  thereof,  or any right or  privilege  appurtenant  thereto,  or
       suffer any other person (the employees,  agents, servants and invitees of
       Tenant  excepted)  to  occupy  or use the said  Premises  or any  portion
       thereof,  without  written  consent of Landlord  first had and  obtained,
       which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;  provided however, that
       Landlord in the exercise of its good faith  business  judgment may refuse
       to approve the assignment or sublease and shall  promptly  provide Tenant
       with the reasons for its refusal.  In the event Tenant  desires to assign
       this Lease or any interest therein or sublet all or part of the Premises,
       Tenant shall give Landlord  written  notice  thereof,  which notice shall
       include  (i) the name of the  proposed  assignee,  subtenant  or occupant
       ("Transferee"),  (ii)  reasonable  financial  information  regarding  the
       Transferee,  (iii)  a  description  of the  Transferee's  business  to be
       carried  on in the  Premises,  and (iv) the  terms of the  assignment  or
       sublease and a description of the portion of the Premises to be affected.
       Tenant shall also provide Landlord such additional  information regarding
       the  Transferee  or the proposed  assignment  or sublease as Landlord may
       reasonably request.

                                       5


       Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  Tenant shall have the right to assign or
       sublet the premises,  or a portion thereof,  to a wholly owned affiliated
       company or subsidiary,  without the Landlord's  consent.  Tenant shall be
       required,  however, to give written notice to Landlord in advance of such
       assignment or sublet and to prepare  assignment  or sublet  agreements on
       forms that are  reasonably  satisfactory  to Landlord.  In no event shall
       such assignment or sublet release Tenant from its  obligations  under the
       terms of this Lease.

       Consent to one  assignment,  subletting,  occupation  or use by any other
       person  shall not be deemed to a consent  to any  subsequent  assignment,
       subletting,  occupation  or use by  another  person.  Any  assignment  or
       subletting  without such consent shall be void, and shall,  at the option
       of the Landlord, constitute a default under this Lease.

14.    HOLD HARMLESS Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless  Landlord  against
       and from any and all claims arising from Tenant's use of 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 and
       against all cost,  attorney's fees, expenses and liabilities  incurred in
       or about any such claim or any action or proceeding  brought  thereon and
       in any case,  action or proceeding  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 or willful act,
       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  dampness or any
       other cause  whatsoever,  unless  caused by or due to the  negligence  or
       willful acts of Landlord, its agents,  servant or employees.  Landlord or
       its agents shall not be liable for  interference  with the light or other
       incorporeal hereditaments, less 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.    SUBROGATION  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.

16.    LIABILITY INSURANCE Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, obtain and keep in
       force  during  the  term of this  Lease,  (1) a policy  of  comprehensive
       general  liability  insurance  insuring  Landlord and Tenant  against any
       liability arising out of the ownership,  use, occupancy or maintenance of
       the Premises and all areas appurtenant  thereto. (2) workers compensation
       insurance  as may be  required  by  law,  and  (3)  "all  risk"  property
       insurance on 

                                       6


       Tenant's   above-standard   tenant   improvements   (specifically   those
       improvements  exceeding the Landlord's  tenant  improvement  allowance as
       defined  in  Addendum  to LeaseP.  1.C),  personal  property,  equipment,
       furniture and fixtures.  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 to 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  reasonably   satisfactory  to  Landlord.   No  policy  shall  be
       cancelable or subject to reduction of coverage except after ten (10) days
       prior written notice to Landlord.

17.    SERVICES  AND  UTILITIES  See  Addendum  to  Lease,  P. 9,  Services  and
       Utilities.

18.    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,  and is the  standard  of the
       Building. In the event any or all of the Tenant's leasehold improvements,
       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.

19.    RULES AND REGULATIONS Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with the
       reasonable  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 for the nonperformance
       of any said  rules by any  other  tenants  or  occupants.  The  rules and
       regulations  shall be applied  equally to all tenants  occupying  Regency
       Center.

20.    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 rental, plus
       all  other  charges  payable  hereunder,  and upon all the  terms  hereof
       applicable to a month-to-month tenancy.

21.    ENTRY BY LANDLORD  Landlord  reserves and shall at any and all times have
       the right to enter the  Premises,  inspect  the same,  supply  janitorial
       service  and any other  service  to be  provided  by  Landlord  to Tenant
       hereunder,  to submit said Premises to prospective purchasers or tenants,
       to post notices of  non-responsibility,  and to alter,  improve or repair
       the  Premises and any portion of the Building of which the Premises are a
       part that Landlord may deem necessary or desirable,  without abatement of
       rent 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 the entrance to the Premises shall not
       be blocked thereby, and further providing that the business of the Tenant
       shall not be interfered with unreasonably. Tenant hereby waives any claim
       for damages or for any injury or  inconvenience  to or interference  with
       Tenant's  business  any  loss of  occupancy  or  quiet  

                                       7



       enjoyment of the Premises,  and any other loss  occasioned  thereby.  For
       each of the  aforesaid  purposes,  Landlord  shall at all times  have and
       retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in, upon and about the
       Premises,  excluding  Tenant's  vaults,  safes and files,  and  specific,
       secured,  sensitive and confidential  offices and Landlord shall have the
       right to use any and all means  which  Landlord  may deem  proper to open
       said doors in any  emergency,  in order to obtain  entry to the  Premises
       without  liability to Tenant  except for any failure to exercise due care
       for Tenant's property.  Any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by
       any of said means,  or  otherwise  shall not under any  circumstances  be
       construed  or  deemed to be a  forcible  or  unlawful  entry  into,  or a
       detainer of, the Premises,  or an eviction of Tenant from the Premises or
       any portion thereof.

22.    RECONSTRUCTION  In the event the  Premises  or the  Building of which the
       Premises  are a part 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 the rent while
       such  repairs are being made,  such  proportionate  reduction to be based
       upon the  extent to which 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 or  neglect  of Tenant or its  employees,
       there shall be no abatement of rent.

       In the event the  Premises or the  Building of which the  Premises  are a
       part are damaged as a result of any cause  other than the perils  covered
       by fire or extended  coverage  insurance,  then Landlord shall  forthwith
       repair the same provided the extent of the  destruction  be less than ten
       (10%) of the then full  replacement  cost of the Premises or the Building
       of which the Premises  are a part.  In the event the  destruction  of the
       Premises or the  Building is to an extent  greater  than ten (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,
       but the rent to be proportionately reduced as hereinabove in this Article
       provided; 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 and
       the Rent,  reduced by a proportionate  amount,  based upon the extent, if
       any, to which such damage materially interfered with the business carried
       on by the Tenant in the  Premises,  shall be paid up to date of said such
       termination.

       Notwithstanding  anything  to the  contrary  contained  in this  Article,
       Landlord shall not have any obligation whatsoever to repair,  reconstruct
       or restore the damage to the Premises resulting from any casualty covered
       under this Article which occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the
       term of this Lease or any extension thereof.

       Landlord  shall not be required to repair any injury or damage by fire or
       other cause, or to make any repairs to replacements of any  over-standard
       tenant  improvements  (specifically  those  exceeding  Landlord's  tenant
       improvement  allowance  as  defined  in  Addendum  to Lease  P.  1.C.) or
       Tenant's trade fixtures, equipment, furniture or personal property.

       Except for abatement of rent as provided  above,  the 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.

                                       8


23.    DEFAULT  The  occurrence  of any or more of the  following  events  shall
       constitute a default and breach of this Lease by Tenant:

       A.    The vacating or  abandonment  of the Premises by Tenant,  except in
             cases when Tenant is current with all rental payments.

       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 ten (10) 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 Article 23.B. above,  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  sixty (60)  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  interests  in this Lease,
             where such seizure is not discharged in thirty (30) days.

24.    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 necessary  renovation  and  alteration  of the
             Premises,  reasonable  attorney's fees, any real estate  commission
             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 24.B.

                                       9


       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  right 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.

25.    EMINENT  DOMAIN If more than  twenty-five  (25%)  percent of the Premises
       shall be taken or appropriated  by any public or  quasi-public  authority
       under the power of eminent  domain,  either  party  hereto shall have the
       right,  at its option,  to terminate  this Lease,  and Landlord  shall be
       entitled  to any and all  income,  rent,  award or any  interest  therein
       whatsoever  which may be paid or made in  connection  with such public or
       quasi-public  use or  purpose,  and Tenant  shall  have no claim  against
       Landlord  for the value of any  unexpired  term of this Lease.  If either
       less than or more than  twenty-five  (25%)  percent  of the  Premises  is
       taken,  and neither  party elects to terminate  as herein  provided,  the
       rental thereafter to be paid shall be equitably  reduced.  If any part of
       the Building  other than the  Premises  may be so taken or  appropriated,
       Landlord  shall have the right at its option to terminate  this Lease and
       shall be entitled to the entire award as above provided.  Notwithstanding
       the  foregoing,   Tenant  shall  be  entitled  to  that  portion  of  any
       condemnation  award made  specifically on account of Tenant's  relocation
       expenses,  increased  rental costs,  improvements  contracted at Tenant's
       expense or disruption of Tenant's business.

26.    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 rental and other  charges are paid in advance,  if any, 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.

27.    PARKING  Tenant shall have the right to use in common with other  tenants
       or occupants of the Building the parking facilities of the Building.

28.    AUTHORITY OF PARTIES

       A.    Corporate  Authority.  If Tenant is a corporation,  each individual
             executing this Lease on behalf of said  corporation  represents and
             warrants  that he is duly  authorized  to execute and deliver  this
             Lease on  behalf of said  corporation,  in  accordance  with a duly
             adopted resolution of the board of directors of said corporation or
             in accordance with the by-laws of said  corporation,  and that this
             Lease is  binding  upon said  corporation  in  accordance  with its
             terms.

       B.    Limited   Partnerships.   If  the  Landlord  herein  is  a  limited
             partnership,  it is understood and agreed that any claims by Tenant
             on  Landlord  shall  be  limited  to  the  assets  of  the  limited
             partnership,  and furthermore,  Tenant expressly waives any and all
             rights to proceed against the individual  partners or the officers,
             directors or shareholders of any corporate  partner,  except to the
             extent of their interest in said limited partnership.

29.    GENERAL PROVISIONS

       A.    Plats and Riders.  Clauses, plats and riders, if any, signed by the
             Landlord  and the Tenant and  endorsed  on or affixed 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
             acceptances of rent 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,  other than the failure of the Tenant to
             pay the  particular  rental so accepted,  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 120 North  Redwood  Drive,  San Rafael,
             California  94903,  or to such other places 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 100
             Smith Ranch Road,  Suite 325, San Rafael,  California  94903, or to
             such other  person or place as the  Landlord  may from time to time
             designate in a notice to the Tenant.

       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  Charges.  Tenant  hereby  acknowledges  that late  payment by
             Tenant to Landlord of 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  


                                       11


             which may be imposed  upon  Landlord  by terms of any  mortgage  or
             trust deed covering the Premises.  Accordingly,  if any installment
             of  rent or of a sum due  from  Tenant  shall  not be  received  by
             Landlord  or  Landlord's  designee  within ten (10) days after said
             amount is past due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge
             equal to five (5%)  percent 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  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.  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  troubles,  acts  of  God,  or any  other  cause  beyond  the
             reasonable control of the Landlord.

       M.    Attorney's  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 as attorney's fees.

       N.    Sale of  Premises  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  Premises  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.

       O.    Subordination Attornment. Upon request of the Landlord, Tenant will
             in  writing  subordinate  its rights  hereunder  to the lien of any
             first  mortgage,  or first  deed of trust  to any  bank,  insurance
             company or other  lending  institution,  now or  hereafter in force
             against the land and Building of which the Premises are a part, and
             upon any  buildings  hereafter  placed  upon the land of which  the
             Premises are a part,  and to all  advances  made or hereafter to be
             made upon the security thereof.

             Notwithstanding such subordination, neither Tenant's right to quiet
             possession  of the  Premises  nor this Lease shall be  disturbed or
             affected  if  Tenant  is not in  default  hereunder  and so long as
             Tenant  shall  pay the  rent and  observe  and  perform  all of the
             provisions of this Lease, unless this Lease is otherwise terminated
             pursuant to its terms.

                                       12



       P.    In the event any proceedings are brought for foreclosure, or in the
             event of the  exercise of power of sale under any  mortgage or deed
             of trust made by the  Landlord  covering the  Premises,  the Tenant
             shall attorn to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure or sale and
             recognize such purchaser as the Landlord under this Lease.

       Q.    Name.  Tenant  shall  not use the  name of the  Building  or of the
             development in which the Building is situated for any purpose other
             than as an address of the business to be conducted by the Tenant in
             the Premises.

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

       S.    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.

       T.    Choice of Law.  This  Lease  shall be  governed  by the laws of the
             State in which the Premises are located.

       U.    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.

30.    BROKERS Tenant  warrants that it has had no dealings with any real estate
       broker or agents in connection  with the negotiation of this Lease and it
       knows no real estate  broker or agent who is entitled to a commission  in
       connection with this Lease.

1.     No  sign,  placard,  picture,  advertisement,  name or  placard  shall be
       inscribed,  displayed  or  printed  or  affixed  on or to any part of the

             are herein  referred  to  collectively  as the "Bid  Package").  In
             putting together the Bid Package,  Architect and Consultants  shall
             exert their best efforts to reuse all existing  improvements in the
             Premises   where   possible  and  in   conformance   with  Tenant's
             requirements in the Premises. Tenant shall not be required to reuse
             existing light  fixtures in the Premises,  but rather shall specify
             its own light  fixtures.  Landlord  shall provide the Architect and
             Consultants  with the base  building  capacity  for (1)  electrical
             power,  (2)  HVAC  and  (3)  floor  loading  (live  and  dead  load
             capacities and design  criteria for the Premises).  The Bid Package
             shall be  submitted  to Tenant for its review and written  approval
             which shall be evidenced by Tenant's  signing the Bid Package.  The
             Bid Package  shall also be  submitted  to Landlord  for  Landlord's
             approval  which shall also be evidenced by  Landlord's  signing the
             Bid  Package.   Landlord's   approval  shall  not  be  unreasonably
             withheld.  It is the  understanding  of  the  parties  that  Tenant
             intends to provide its  employees  with high  quality  office space
             which meets the current  needs of the  workforce  and  enhances the
             work performance of the employees and the company,  while remaining
             flexible enough to accommodate the growth and changing needs of the
             Tenant.  In other  words,  the Tenant may not always be looking for
             the most economical solution or method of construction,  but rather
             one which provides  Tenant with the highest  ability to perform its
             work while maintaining flexibility for future needs.

             All architectural design, engineering, and consulting fees shall be
             included in the Tenant Improvement Allowance.  See Addendum P. 1.C.
             Tenant  may  require  that  certain  subcontractors  be used by the
             Contractor in bidding and performing the work,  including,  but not
             limited to, WBE Electrical, WBE Telecom and Peerless Lighting.

             The Bid Package shall include the Construction Contract which shall
             be provided by Tenant.  Landlord shall have the right to review and
             approve the  Construction  Contract and make any necessary  changes
             with  respect  to  preserving  and  protecting  Landlord's  rights,
             remedies and property.



                                       1



             The Bid Package  shall be completed  and accepted by both  Landlord
             and  Tenant no later than July 1,  1994.  Each party  shall have at
             least ten (10) working days to review the Bid Package.  Tenant will
             prepare a schedule  for  delivery  and review of the Bid Package by
             January 1, 1994.

       B.    Contractor: The Contractor who shall perform the tenant improvement
             work in the Premises  shall be selected from two bidders.  Landlord
             shall select one Contractor and Tenant shall select one Contractor.
             No later than June 1, 1994,  Landlord and Tenant shall provide each
             other  with the name and  address of their  respective  Contractor.
             Landlord  shall have fourteen (14) days to evaluate the  Contractor
             selected by Tenant.  Landlord's criteria for evaluation of Tenant's
             Contractor  shall  include,  but not be limited to,  reputation and
             quality  of  workmanship,  record of  completing  previous  jobs on
             schedule  and  within  budget,  relationship  with  the City of San
             Rafael  Building  and  Planning  Departments,   cooperativeness  in
             dealing with  Landlord and its  employees,  financial  strength and
             billing procedure. Tenant shall have fourteen (14) days to evaluate
             Landlord's   Contractor.   Tenant's   criteria  for  evaluation  of
             Landlord's  Contractor  shall include,  but not be limited to, cost
             effectiveness,   quality  of  workmanship,  creativity,  record  of
             completing work on schedule and within budget, and an understanding
             of Tenant's  current  and future  requirements  and a good  working
             relationship  with  Tenant and  Tenant's  employees.  Landlord  and
             Tenant  shall  each  use  best  efforts  in  ensuring   that  their
             evaluation  process  of  each  other's   Contractors  is  fair  and
             reasonable.  A copy  of  the  Bid  Package  may be  given  to  each
             Contractor and may be used in evaluating the  Contractor.  Landlord
             and Tenant shall have the right to reject each  other's  Contractor
             based on any of the above criteria or any other relevant  criteria.
             If a Contractor is rejected, the reasons for the rejection shall be
             stated  in a letter to  Landlord  or  Tenant.  If a  Contractor  is
             rejected  by  Landlord  or  Tenant,  another  Contractor  shall  be
             selected and its name  submitted  in writing  within five (5) days.
             Each  Contractor  shall be evaluated using the same criteria stated
             above.  Neither  Tenant nor  Landlord  may  reject  more than three
             Contractors submitted by the other.

             Landlord may submit its own name as a Contractor.

             As  soon as  Landlord  approves  Tenant's  choice  of a  Contractor
             ("Tenant's  Contractor") and as soon as Tenant approves  Landlord's
             choice  of  a   Contractor   ("Landlord's   Contractor")   Tenant's
             Contractor and Landlord's  Contractor shall be requested in writing
             to submit a bid on the Bid  Package.  Ten (10)  working  days after
             receipt of the request for bid and the complete  Bid Package,  both
             Contractors shall submit a sealed fixed price contract bid (on such
             contract form as Landlord, Tenant and Architect shall designate) to
             construct  the tenant  improvements  specified  in the Bid Package.
             Landlord  and  Tenant  shall  jointly  open and  review  the  bids.
             Landlord  and  Tenant  (after   adjustments  for  any  inconsistent
             assumptions  to reflect  an  "apples-to-apples"  comparison)  shall
             select the lowest  price bidder as the  Contractor  ("Contractor").
             The Contractor shall enter into a construction contract with Tenant
             consistent  with  the  terms  of the  Bid  Package  and  its bid to
             construct  the tenant  improvements.  That contract must state that
             Tenant shall hold Landlord  harmless from any and all liability for
             the work to be  performed  under  the  terms  of that  construction
             contract.

             If Landlord's  Contractor is not selected as the successful bidder,
             Tenant  shall  pay  Landlord  or its  representative  a  reasonable
             owner's  representation fee to compensate Landlord for its time and
             effort in inspecting and overseeing the  construction of the tenant
             improvement work and assuring itself of good quality  materials and

                                       2



             workmanship,   that  the  work   contained   in  the   Request  for
             Disbursement (see Addendum P. 1.D.) is complete,  and that there is
             no interference with the day-to-day operations of the Building as a
             result of Tenant's construction. The parties agree that the maximum
             fee  chargeable by Landlord shall be $50.00 per hour for up to five
             (5) hours per week.  This fee  shall be  deducted  from the  Tenant
             Improvement Allowance (see Addendum to Lease P. 1.C.

       C.    Tenant  Improvement  Allowance:  Landlord  shall  contribute  Seven
             Hundred Sixty-two Thousand Two Hundred Twenty Dollars ($762,220.00)
             ($23.00 x 33,140 usable SF) toward the  construction  of the tenant
             improvements   for   Tenant's   Premises    ("Tenant    Improvement
             Allowance").  The Tenant  Improvement  Allowance  shall include all
             architectural,  engineering and consultant fees, and all other fees
             charged in conjunction  with  preparation  of the Bid Package.  All
             costs exceeding the Tenant Improvement  Allowance shall be borne by
             Tenant.

       D.    Disbursement of Tenant Improvement  Allowance:  Once a month, on or
             before the 10th day of the month,  Tenant shall present to Landlord
             a Request for Disbursement ("Request for Disbursement")  requesting
             payment  by  Landlord  of any  costs  associated  with the  design,
             engineering or construction of the tenant improvements. The Request
             for Disbursement shall include the following information:

             1)   A  certificate  from  Tenant  confirming  that all of the work
                  contained in the Request for  Disbursement  has been completed
                  in accordance with the applicable contracts.

             2)   A Certificate from Tenant's  Architect  confirming that all of
                  the work  contained in the Request for  Disbursement  has been
                  completed in  accordance  with the  applicable  contracts  and
                  certifying that materials have arrived on the job.

             3)   Unconditional  mechanics  lien releases and copies of invoices
                  from the Contractor, subcontractors, suppliers and materialmen
                  marked "Paid."

             4)   And such other reasonable documentation as may be requested by
                  Landlord not later than the 25th day of the previous month.

             Payment shall not be made on any Request for Disbursement until all
             of the information and documentation above is complete.

             Payment  shall be made only for  those  materials  which  have been
             installed or which have been  delivered to the  Premises.  Landlord
             shall have five (5)  calendar  days from the date of receipt of the
             Request for Disbursement to review same and request  clarification.
             If Landlord  is in  Agreement  with the  Request for  Disbursement,
             payment  shall be made to Tenant within ten (10) days of receipt of
             the Request for Disbursement. If any items are in dispute, Landlord
             shall  not make  payment  on  those  items  until  the  dispute  is
             resolved,  but Landlord shall make payment to Tenant of all amounts
             not in dispute  within ten (10) days of receipt of the  Request for
             Disbursement. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its approval
             of any  Request for  Disbursement  or on any  specific  request for
             payment made therein. A final disbursement of Twenty-five  Thousand
             Dollars  ($25,000.00)  shall be held until all  punchlist  items in
             Tenant's Premises are complete,  and the time for the filing of any
             mechanics  liens  claimed or which might be filed on account of any
             work performed by Tenant, Contractor, subcontractors,  suppliers or
             materialmen has passed.  Any damage to Landlord's  property will be
             repaired to  

                                       3


             Landlord's  satisfaction.  Once  Landlord has  disbursed the entire
             amount of the Tenant  Improvement  Allowance (See Addendum P. 1.C.)
             to Tenant, except the final disbursement of $25,000.00, any and all
             costs  associated  with the design,  engineering or construction of
             Tenant's Premises shall be paid directly by Tenant.

       E.    Change  Orders:  Tenant may,  but only by written  instructions  or
             drawings   issued  to  Landlord  and   Contractor   ("Change  Order
             Request"),  make changes to the work  specified in the Bid Package,
             including without limitation,  requiring additional work, directing
             the omission of work previously ordered or changing the quantity or
             type of any materials, equipment or services. Promptly upon receipt
             of a Change Order  Request,  Contractor  will provide Tenant with a
             statement  in  detail   setting  forth  the  cost  of  said  change
             (including  a  breakdown  of  costs   attributable   to  labor  and
             materials,  construction  equipment  exclusively  necessary for the
             change,  and  preparation  or amendment to shop drawings  resulting
             from said  change and any time  delays  anticipated  to result from
             said  change).  Tenant will have two (2) days after receipt of such
             statement  in  which  to  confirm  the  Change  Order  Request  and
             authorize  the work to be  performed or to withdraw  such  request.
             Change  Orders will be signed by Landlord  and Tenant in advance of
             any work being performed on a Change Order.

       F.    Substantial  Completion:  For purposes of this Lease,  "Substantial
             Completion" shall mean that construction of the tenant improvements
             has been completed in accordance  with the Bid Package,  except for
             minor finishing  details of  construction,  decoration,  mechanical
             adjustment,  minor  replacement of defective or damaged  materials,
             and  other  items  of  a  type  commonly  found  on   architectural
             punchlists,  all of  which  do not  materially  interfere  with the
             occupancy  and use of the  Premises  by  Tenant  or  with  Tenant's
             ability to complete the  improvements to the Premises to be made by
             Tenant.  Within three (3) days of Substantial  Completion Tenant's,
             Architect  shall  notify  Landlord in writing that the Premises are
             Substantially  Complete.  If Tenant is  conducting  business in any
             part of the  Premises  the  space  shall  be  automatically  deemed
             Substantially Complete.

             Within ten (10) calendar days after  Substantial  Completion of the
             tenant improvements,  Tenant, accompanied by Landlord or Landlord's
             representative,  shall  make  an  inspection  of the  Premises  and
             prepare  a  punchlist  of  items  needing  additional  work  by the
             Contractor.   Contractor   shall   complete  all  punchlist   items
             reasonably  identified  by Tenant or  Landlord  within  thirty (30)
             calendar  days  after  the  inspection  or as soon  as  practicable
             thereafter.  If there is any dispute as to whether  Contractor  has
             substantially completed the work, a good faith decision of Tenant's
             Architect shall be final and binding on the parties.

       G.    Standard of  Construction:  Contractor  shall  complete all work in
             accordance with the Bid Package approved by Landlord and Tenant and
             shall make no  alterations,  additions,  or  reinforcements  to the
             structure  of the  building  except  as  specifically  approved  by
             Landlord in the Bid package, or in writing  thereafter.  Tenant, or
             Contractor,  at its expense,  shall  procure all building and other
             permits  required for  completion of Tenant's  work.  Tenant agrees
             that all work done by Tenant,  its  Contractor  and  subcontractors
             shall be performed in full compliance with all laws, rules, orders,
             permits,  ordinances,  directions,  regulations and requirements of
             all  governmental   agencies,   offices,   and  departments  having
             jurisdiction,  including without limitation  applicable  provisions
             pertaining to use of hazardous or toxic materials and the Americans
             with  Disabilities  Act,  

                                       4



             and  in  full  compliance  with  the  rules,  orders,   directions,
             regulations and  requirements of the Board of Fire  Underwriters or
             any other organization performing a similar function.

             Landlord  shall have the right to enter the Premises at any time to
             post  any  Notice  of  Non-Responsibility  or other  notice  on the
             Premises   during   Tenant's   construction.   Contractor  and  all
             contractors  and  subcontractors  retained by Tenant or  Contractor
             shall be bondable and bonded, licensed contractors, possessing good
             labor  relations,   adequate  financials,  and  with  a  record  of
             performing quality workmanship.

             During the course of construction,  Tenant shall maintain builder's
             risk  insurance  in form and  content  reasonably  satisfactory  to
             Landlord.  Tenant's  insurance shall name Landlord as an additional
             insured  and shall  provide  that it may not be canceled or amended
             without twenty (20) days prior written notice to Landlord. At least
             seven (7)  calendar  days prior to  commencement  of  construction,
             Tenant shall provide  Landlord with a certificate of such insurance
             and  evidence  of  any  required  bonds  in  form  satisfactory  to
             Landlord.

             Contractor   shall  complete  the  tenant   improvement  work  with
             diligence and in such a manner as not to interfere  with the use or
             enjoyment  of other  portions  of the  Project  or common  areas by
             Landlord  or  other  tenants.  Contractor  shall  provide  for  all
             temporary power,  water and other utility facilities as required in
             connection with the construction of Tenant's work. Contractor shall
             provide  its  own  dumpster  for  collection  and   disposition  of
             construction  debris, which shall be located at a location approved
             by Landlord, and all construction debris from construction shall be
             disposed of in  Contractor's  dumpster and not in trash  facilities
             for  the  Project.   Contractor's  construction  materials,  tools,
             equipment and debris shall be stored only within the  Premises,  or
             in areas  designated  for that  purpose  by  Landlord.  Work  space
             exterior to the Premises  shall be available  only with the written
             approval of Landlord.  Tenant's  construction work shall be subject
             to the  inspection  and  supervision  of  Landlord  and  Landlord's
             representatives.

             Tenant and Contractor  shall  indemnify and hold harmless  Landlord
             for any and all claims arising from Tenant's work. Tenant shall pay
             for all damage to the Building,  the Project,  or appurtenant areas
             or equipment, as well as all damage to tenants or occupants thereof
             or their  licensees,  or invitees,  including,  but not limited to,
             losses  incurred as the result of power outages  caused by Tenant's
             or  Contractor's  work in the  Building.  Any such  damages  may be
             deducted from the Tenant Improvement Allowance.

       H.    Liability:   The  parties  acknowledge  that  Landlord  is  not  an
             architect or engineer and that the tenant  improvement work will be
             designed by  independent  Architects,  Engineers  and  Consultants.
             Accordingly,  Landlord  does not guarantee or warrant that any part
             of the Bid  Package  will be free  from  errors or  omissions,  and
             Landlord shall have no liability therefor.

             Tenant shall be solely responsible for the adequacy in all respects
             of the Bid Package,  including without  limitation  compliance with
             all  governmental  requirements,  compatibility  with the  building
             shell, and any special  requirements of Tenant's proposed equipment
             or machines with respect to ambient temperatures, electrical use or
             current,  or water  availability.  Landlord shall warrant only that
             the information  provided  regarding the base building (referred to
             in  Addendum  to Lease P. 1.A.) is true and  correct to the best of
             its  knowledge.   Tenant   acknowledges  that  in  connection  with
             obtaining  Landlord's  approval  of the  Bid  Package,  Tenant  may
             provide  Landlord with certain  information  

                                       5



             regarding its specific needs relating to the Premises in developing
             plans and  specifications  for  Tenant's  work and that  Tenant may
             provide some of its own equipment for installation in the Premises.
             Tenant further  acknowledges that Landlord will make no independent
             review of any such  information and that Landlord does not warrant,
             either expressly or impliedly,  the adequacy of the Bid Package for
             Tenant's  requirements or Tenant's  equipment for Tenant's intended
             purpose.

       I.    Ownership of Tenant  Improvements:  Upon  termination of the Lease,
             all of the tenant  improvements shall remain in the Premises unless
             Landlord shall consent in writing to the removal thereof by Tenant.
             However,  all Tenant's  trade  fixtures,  equipment,  furniture and
             personal property shall remain the property of Tenant.

       J.    Life Safety: With respect to Life Safety System,  Landlord believes
             to the best of its knowledge  that Regency Center meets all current
             code requirements including handicap access compliance. If any code
             requirements are not met with respect to the Building's Life Safety
             System all costs to  accomplish  changes  necessary to the Building
             shall be  covered  by  Landlord.  All code  compliance  costs  with
             respect  to  Tenant's  Premises  shall  be  covered  by the  Tenant
             Improvement Allowance or by Tenant.

       K.    Use of Current  Fixtures in Space:  Tenant  shall have the right to
             reuse the  fixtures  currently in the  Premises  including  but not
             limited  to  all  cafeteria  built-ins,   the  moveable  partitions
             (retractable wall) in the training rooms and fire extinguishers and
             cases.  The food trolley located in the cafeteria and the equipment
             purchased  or  leased by the  previous  Tenant  including,  but not
             limited  to,  the  cafeteria  tables  and  chairs,  ice  dispenser,
             training  room tables,  chairs,  white boards,  projection  screen,
             reception  desk,  counter and hutch are not part of the fixtures in
             the Premises.

3.     POSSESSION

       A.    Possession  of the  Premises  ("Possession")  shall be delivered to
             Tenant  no  later  than   October  1,  1994  for  the   purpose  of
             constructing  the tenant  improvements.  If possession of the space
             cannot be  delivered  by  Landlord  by that  date,  for any  reason
             whatsoever,  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 term of Lease be in
             any way  extended,  but in that  event,  of  Commencement  Date (as
             defined in  AddendumP.  4.A.) shall be extended by the exact number
             of days of  Landlord's  delay in  delivering  possession.  Landlord
             shall inform  Tenant of the date of  Possession in writing at least
             thirty (30) days prior to Possession.

       B.    If Landlord  shall not have  delivered  Possession  of the Premises
             within ninety (90) days after the Commencement  Date (as defined in
             Addendum P. 4.A.),  Tenant  may, at Tenant's  option,  by notice in
             writing to Landlord  within ten (10) days  thereafter,  cancel this
             Lease,  in which event the  parties  shall be  discharged  from all
             obligations  hereunder;  provided,  however,  that if such  written
             notice by Tenant is not  received by Landlord  within said ten (10)
             day period,  Tenant's  right to cancel this lease  hereunder  shall
             terminate and be of no further force or effect.

4.     COMMENCEMENT

       A.    If Possession is delivered on October 1, 1994 the Commencement Date
             ("Commencement")  shall be defined as  December 1, 1994 or five (5)
             days after  Substantial  Completion of the tenant  improvement work
             (as  defined  in  Addendum  P.  1.E.)  whichever  is  earlier.   If
             Possession is delivered prior to October 1, 1994, the  Commencement
             Date shall be sixty (60) calendar days after the date of Possession
             or  five  (5)  days  after  Substantial  Completion  of the  tenant
             improvement work, whichever is earlier.

             Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the actual  Commencement
             Date no later than thirty (30) days after  Substantial  Completion.
             In the event  Substantial  Completion  is delayed by Tenant  Caused
             Delays (as  defined in  Addendum  P. 4.C.) the same  number of days
             shall be deducted  from total number of days of the  build-out  and
             that date shall be the Commencement.

5.     FREE RENT

       Landlord  shall  allow  Tenant and  Contractor  to occupy and perform the
       tenant  improvement  work in the Premises  without  payment of rent after
       Possession  (as defined in Addendum P. 3) for a period of two (2) months.
       Landlord  shall allow  Tenant to occupy  one-half  (1/2) of the  Premises
       (approximately  17,630 rentable square feet) for six (6) months after the
       Commencement  Date without  payment of rent.  Tenant's first month's rent
       paid upon  execution of this Lease shall cover the rent on the  remaining
       one-half  (1/2) of the  Premises  for the first two (2) months  after the
       Commencement Date.

6.     OPERATING EXPENSE ADJUSTMENTS  (Continued from Article 7 of the Lease.)

       A.    During the  initial  term of this Lease,  management  costs for the
             building  shall not exceed  three  percent (3%) of the gross rental
             income for the building.

       B.    Landlord shall keep full,  accurate,  and separate books of account
             and records covering all Direct  Expenses,  which books of accounts
             and records shall accurately reflect the total Direct Expenses, and
             Landlord's billings to Tenant for Operating Expense Adjustments.

       C.    Tenant  shall  have the right to  protest  any  charge to Tenant by
             Landlord for  Operating  Expense  Adjustments,  provided  that said
             protest is made within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord's
             notice of such  charge.  In the event that  Tenant  shall  protest,
             Tenant  shall be  entitled  to audit  Landlord's  books of account,
             records,  and other pertinent data regarding Direct  Expenses.  The
             audit shall be limited to the  determination of direct Expenses and
             charges to Tenant for Operating  Expense  Adjustments  and shall be
             conducted  during normal  business  hours.  If the audit shows that
             there has been an overpayment by Tenant,  the overpayment  shall be
             immediately due and repayable by Landlord to Tenant.

7.     OPTION TO EXTEND

       A.    Landlord  grants to Tenant  the  option to extend  the term of this
             Lease for two 3-year periods commencing when the prior term expires
             upon each and all of the following terms and conditions:

                                       7



               (i)   Tenant gives to Landlord and  Landlord  receives  notice of
                     the  exercise  of the option to extend  this Lease for said
                     additional  term no later than twelve (12) months  prior to
                     the time  that the  option  period  would  commence  if the
                     option were exercised,  time being of the essence.  If said
                     notification of the exercise of said option is not so given
                     and received, this option shall automatically expire;

              (ii)   At the time said written notification of exercise of option
                     is given and received, Tenant shall not be in default under
                     any  of  the  material  obligations  of  this  Lease  to be
                     performed   by  Tenant  and  this  Lease   shall  not  have
                     previously   terminated   nor   terminated   prior  to  the
                     commencement of the option term;

             (iii)   All of the terms and  conditions of this Lease except where
                     specifically modified by this option shall apply;

              (iv)   The monthly rent for each month of the option  period shall
                     be calculated as follows:

             The rent payable by Tenant  during the first option period shall be
             the Fair Market Rental Value of the Premises (as defined  below) at
             the  commencement  date of the  option  period.  There  shall be an
             annual  C.P.I.  increase  not to exceed four  percent  (4%) in each
             subsequent  year of the first option period.  The rent in the first
             year of the second option period shall be the rent in the last year
             of the first option period to which will be added a C.P.I. increase
             not to exceed four percent  (4%).  There shall be an annual  C.P.I.
             increase not to exceed four percent (4%) in each subsequent year of
             the second option period.  All of the C.P.I.  increases  during the
             option  periods  shall be  calculated  on the basis of the  formula
             provided in the Lease P. 5.B. If Landlord  and Tenant  cannot agree
             on the Fair Market  Rental Value of the Premises for the  extension
             periods within  forty-five  (45) days after the Tenant has notified
             Landlord of its  exercise of the option,  Landlord and Tenant shall
             each select,  within forty-five (45) days of such notification,  an
             appraiser  who must be a qualified  M.A.I.  appraiser  to determine
             said Fair Market Rental  Value.  If one party fails to so designate
             an appraiser  within the time required,  the  determination of Fair
             Market Rental Value of the one appraiser who has been designated by
             the other party hereto  within the time  required  shall be binding
             upon both parties. The appraisers shall submit their determinations
             of Fair Market Rental Value to both parties within thirty (30) days
             after  their   selection.   If  the  difference   between  the  two
             determinations   is  ten  percent  (10%)  or  less  of  the  higher
             appraisal, then the average between the two determinations shall be
             the Fair Market Rental Value of the Premises. If said difference is
             greater  than ten  percent  (10%),  then the two  appraisers  shall
             within  twenty  (20) days of the date that the later  submittal  is
             submitted to the parties  designate a third appraiser who must also
             be a qualified M.A.I.  appraiser.  The sole  responsibility  of the
             third  appraiser will be to determine  which of the  determinations
             made by the first appraisers is most accurate.  The third appraiser
             shall have no right to propose a middle ground or any  modification
             of either of the  determinations  made by the first two appraisers.
             The third  appraiser's  choice  shall be  submitted  to the parties
             within  thirty  (30)  days  after  his  or  her   selection.   Such
             determination  shall bind both of the parties  and shall  establish
             the Fair Market Rental Value of the Premises.  Each party shall pay
             for their own  appraiser  and shall pay an equal  share of the fees
             and expenses of the third appraiser.


                                       8


             Fair Market  Rental  Value for purpose of this Lease shall mean the
             then prevailing rent for premises comparable in size, quality,  and
             orientation   to  the  demised   Premises,   located  in  buildings
             comparable in size to, and in the general vicinity of, the building
             which the demised Premises are located,  leased on terms comparable
             to the terms contained in this Lease.

8.     RIGHT OF FIRST  OPPORTUNITY  TO LEASE  ADDITIONAL  PREMISES  AT 100 SMITH
       RANCH ROAD, SAN RAFAEL

       At any time during the term hereof, or any options to extend which Tenant
       has exercised,  provided that Tenant is not in default as defined herein,
       Tenant  shall have a right of First  Opportunity  to Lease for all office
       space that  becomes  available  for lease at 100 Smith  Ranch  Road,  San
       Rafael, based on the terms and conditions as outlined below.

       Landlord and Tenant  acknowledge  that there are existing  tenants at 100
       Smith Ranch Road,  which  tenants  have options to renew or wish to renew
       their respective  leases, and that these existing options and requests to
       renew would take precedent  over the Right of First  Opportunity to Lease
       described herein.

       Landlord  and  Tenant  further  acknowledge  that  this  Right  of  First
       Opportunity  to Lease shall apply only to premises,  from which  existing
       tenants vacate or which is currently vacant.

       Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the availability of additional
       office  premises at 100 Smith Ranch Road,  San Rafael  within thirty (30)
       days of Landlord  receiving  notice from an existing  Tenant at 100 Smith
       Ranch Road of that Tenant's intent to vacate their  premises.  Landlord's
       notice to Tenant shall include the size of premises,  the projected  date
       at which the premises may be available,  and a floor plan  indicating the
       current configuration of the premises.

       Tenant shall have ten (10) days after  receipt of notice from Landlord to
       notify  Landlord of Tenant's  intent to lease the premises  which was the
       subject of the notice. In the event Landlord does not receive notice from
       Tenant of Tenant's intent to lease said available  space,  Landlord shall
       have the right to lease said  space to any other  Tenant  which  Landlord
       chooses,  and Tenant's Right of First  Opportunity to lease that specific
       premises shall be deemed waived.

       In the  event  Tenant  notifies  Landlord  of its  intent  to lease  said
       premises,  Landlord  and Tenant  shall  proceed as soon as is  reasonably
       possible to execute a lease  agreement  for the  specific  premises  that
       became available. Terms and conditions of the Lease shall be based on the
       same terms and  conditions  of the  lease(s)  on the other  space  Tenant
       occupies in the Building at the time the lease is executed.  Landlord and
       Tenant shall make a good faith effort to execute a Lease for the specific
       available  space  within  thirty  (30) days  after  Tenant  has  notified
       Landlord of its intent to lease said space.

       This  Right  of First  Opportunity  to Lease  shall in no way  limit  the
       Landlord from executing  leases with new tenants for terms of any length,
       with  options to renew for any length,  for those spaces for which Tenant
       has not  exercised  its Right of First  Opportunity  to lease as  defined
       herein.

9.     SERVICES AND UTILITIES

       A.    Provided that Tenant is not in default  hereunder,  Landlord agrees
             to furnish to the Premises  five-day per week  janitorial  service.
             Landlord  shall  also  maintain  and keep  lighted,  heated and air
             conditioned   during  reasonable  hours  of  generally   recognized
             business days, the common entries, common corridors,  common stairs
             and toilet  rooms in the  building  of which  Premises  are a part.
             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.

       B.    Tenant shall have 24-hour per day, seven-day per week access to its
             Premises.

       C.    Landlord  shall  provide  Tenant a monthly  allowance  of $3,878.71
             (35,261 rentable SF x $.11) for Tenant's electrical  service.  This
             allowance  is  included in the Base Rent as defined in Article 5 of
             the Lease.

             Landlord and Tenant  recognize  that  Tenant's  electrical  service
             shall  cost in  excess  of $.11 per  square  foot per  month due to
             Tenant's heavy electrical and air conditioning requirements.

             Tenant shall be charged for all PG&E  charges to the building  over
             and  above  the  monthly   allowance   provided  above,   less  any
             over-standard  charges to other tenant's in the building (any usage
             over the $.11  allowance  provided to each  Tenant.) At the time of
             Lease  execution,  no per square foot tenants in the Building other
             than Fireman's Fund who currently occupies the entire second floor,
             have any over-standard  useage.  Landlord shall notify Tenant as to
             any  changes  in the  existing  tenant's  electrical  useage or any
             over-standard useage of new tenants to the building.  Tenant may at
             any time notify Landlord that in Tenant's view, a particular tenant
             may be using over-standard electrical and Landlord will investigate
             that useage with the assistance of an electrical engineer and shall
             report to Tenant its findings regarding the useage and shall charge
             the other tenant for any actual over-standard  useage, which amount
             shall be deducted from Tenant's  over-standard  charges.  If Tenant
             does not agree with Landlord or Landlord's engineer's  calculation,
             Tenant  may have  its own  engineer  evaluate  the  other  tenant's
             useage.

             For the first year of Tenant's  occupancy,  Landlord  shall  charge
             Tenant  $.11 per useable  square  foot per month for  over-standard
             electrical  useage  as a  projected  expense,  which  amount  is an
             average paid by Tenant in its other  Premises  located at 111 Smith
             Ranch Road and 120 North  Redwood  Drive.  This amount  ($3,645.40)
             shall be paid along with the monthly  rent. At the end of the first
             year of occupancy,  Landlord shall prepare a PG&E invoice  analysis
             showing the actual cost of over-standard useage by Tenant. Landlord
             shall  credit  Tenant for any amounts  paid in excess of the actual
             cost of  over-standard  useage.  Tenant  shall pay Landlord for any
             costs in excess of the total  projected sum paid by Tenant over the
             first  year  of   occupancy.   The   amount   paid  by  Tenant  for
             over-standard   electrical  useage  for  each  subsequent  year  of
             occupancy  shall be  based on 


                                       10


             the  previous  year's  charges  and a  similar  accounting  between
             Landlord and Tenant will occur annually.

       D.    The hours of operation of the heating and air  conditioning  system
             for the building are as follows:

                        Monday thru Friday:          7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
                        Saturdays:                   8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

       E.    In the event Tenant  requires the  operation of the heating and air
             conditioning  system  beyond the normal hours of operation  for the
             building,  Tenant shall  notify the building  manager in advance of
             the required  extended hour usage,  and the building  manager shall
             program the heating and air  conditioning  system to operate during
             the time period requested by Tenant.

       F.    In the event  Tenant shall  request  that an override  mechanism be
             installed during the term of the Lease, an override mechanism shall
             be  installed  on the heating  and air  conditioning  system  which
             services  Tenant's  premises.  The cost of this mechanism  shall be
             paid by the Tenant at the time of the installation.  This mechanism
             shall  allow  Tenant  to  have  control  of  the  heating  and  air
             conditioning system for its premises in hours other than the normal
             building hours stated above.

             Along  with  the  override  mechanism,  an  hourly  meter  shall be
             attached to the override mechanism which shall measure Tenant's use
             of the  heating  and air  conditioning  system  beyond  the  normal
             building  hours.  On a monthly basis,  Landlord shall charge Tenant
             for this usage by  multiplying  the number of hours used by the per
             hour charge for operating the heating and air  conditioning  system
             which shall be  determined by  Landlord's  electrical  engineer and
             heating and air conditioning contractor.

10.    COMMUNICATIONS INSTALLATION

       Tenant has installed certain communications  equipment on the roof of the
       Building.

       Prior to the end of the term of this Lease, Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost
       and  expense,  shall  remove  the  communications  equipment  and  shall,
       forthwith and with all due  diligence,  repair any damage to the Premises
       caused by such removal.





                                       11



11.    CONSENT

       Landlord  and Tenant  agree that in the event  their  consent is required
       pursuant  to the  provisions  of the  Lease,  such  consent  shall not be
       unreasonably withheld.

                              OFFICE BUILDING LEASE


1.     PARTIES This Lease, dated, for reference purposes only, October 11, 1993,
       is made by and between The Joseph and Eda Pell  Revocable  Trust  (herein
       called  "Landlord")  and Fair,  Isaac and Company,  Incorporated  (herein
       called "Tenant").

2.     PREMISES  Landlord  does hereby lease to Tenant and Tenant  hereby leases
       from  Landlord  that certain  office  space  (herein  called  "Premises")
       indicated on Exhibit "A"  attached  hereto and  reference  thereto made a
       part hereof,  said Premises being agreed, for the purposes of this Lease,
       to have an area of  approximately  4,007  rentable  square feet and 3,506
       useable  square feet,  being  situated in Suite 124 on the first floor of
       that certain Building known as Regency Center,  100 Smith Ranch Road, San
       Rafael, CA 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  and that this Lease is made upon the  condition  of said
       performance.

3.     TERM The term of this Lease  shall be for seven (7) years and eleven (11)
       months,  commencing  on the 1st day of January,  1994,  and ending on the
       30th day of November, 2001.

4.     POSSESSION  See Addendum to Lease P. 5, Possession.

5.     A.    RENT Tenant  agrees to pay to Landlord as rental for the  premises,
             without prior notice or demand,  the sum of Eight Thousand Fourteen
             Dollars  ($8,014.00)  on or before  the first day of the first full
             calendar  month of the term  hereof and a like sum 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 of this Lease.  Rent for any period during
             the term  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 100 Smith  Ranch
             Road,  Suite 325, San Rafael,  California  94903,  or to such other
             place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing.

       B.    RENT  ESCALATIONS  Commencing  on the  11th  month  of  this  Lease
             (December 1, 1994) and on each annual  anniversary  following,  the
             base  rent  shall  be  adjusted  by the  increase,  if any,  in the
             Consumer Price Index of the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the U. S.
             Department    of   Labor    for   All    Urban    Consumers,    San
             Francisco-Oakland-San Jose (1984=100),  "All Items" herein referred
             to as "C.P.I."

             The C.P.I.  increase shall be calculated as follows:  The base rent
             payable for the first month term of this Lease shall be  multiplied
             by the percentage  change in the C.P.I. for the 12 months preceding
             December 1, 1994 On each anniversary following, the base rent shall
             be multiplied  by the  percentage  change in the C.P.I.  for the 12
             months  preceding.  No  single  increase  shall  exceed  4% of  the
             previous  year's  rental rate and in no event shall the new monthly
             rent be less  than  the  rent  payable  for the  month  immediately
             preceding the date for rent adjustment.




6.     SECURITY  DEPOSIT  Tenant has  deposited  with  Landlord the sum of Eight
       Thousand Fourteen Dollars ($8,014.00). 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.  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 this 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 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.
       Landlord  shall not be required to keep this  security  deposit  separate
       from its  general  fund and Tenant  shall not be  entitled to interest on
       such  deposit.  If  Tenant  shall  fully  and  faithfully  perform  every
       provision of this Lease to be  performed  by it, the security  deposit or
       any balance  thereof  shall be  returned  to Tenant  (or,  at  Landlord's
       option,  to the last  assignee of  Tenant's  interest  hereunder)  at the
       expiration of the Lease term. In the event of  termination  of Landlord's
       interest  in  this  Lease,   Landlord  shall  transfer  said  deposit  to
       Landlord's successor in interest.

7.     OPERATING  EXPENSE  ADJUSTMENTS  For the  purposes of this  Article,  the
       following terms are defined as follows:

       BASE YEAR             The Base Year shall be 1994.

       COMPARISON YEAR       Each calendar year of the term after the Base Year.

       DIRECT EXPENSES       All direct costs of operation and  maintenance,  as
                             determined   by  standard   accounting   practices,
                             including   the   following   costs   by   way   of
                             illustration,  but not be limited to: real property
                             taxes and  assessments;  rent taxes,  gross receipt
                             taxes,  (whether  assessed  against the Landlord or
                             assessed  against the Tenant and  collected  by the
                             Landlord,   or  both);  water  and  sewer  charges;
                             insurance premiums; utilities; janitorial services;
                             labor;  costs  incurred  in the  management  of the
                             Building;  air  conditioning  &  heating;  elevator
                             maintenance;  supplies;  materials;  equipment  and
                             tools;  and  maintenance,  costs and  upkeep of all
                             parking and common areas.  ("Direct Expenses" shall
                             not include  depreciation  on the Building of which
                             the Premises are a part or equipment therein,  loan
                             payments,   executive   salaries   or  real  estate
                             broker's commissions.)

       If the  Direct  Expenses  paid  or  incurred  by  the  Landlord  for  the
       Comparison  Year  on  account  of the  operation  or  maintenance  of the
       Building  of which the  Premises  are a part are in excess of the  Direct
       Expenses  paid or incurred  for the Base Year,  then the Tenant shall pay
       3.9% of the  increase.  This  percentage  is that  portion  of the  total
       rentable area of the Building occupied by the Tenant hereunder.  Landlord
       shall  endeavor  to give to Tenant on or before the first day of March of
       each year  following the  respective  Comparison  Year a statement of the
       increase in rent payable by Tenant hereunder,  but failure by Landlord to
       give  such  statement  by said  date  shall  not  constitute  a waiver by
       Landlord of its right to require an increase in rent. Upon receipt of the
       statement  for the first  Comparison  Year,  Tenant shall pay in full the
       total amount of the increase  due for the first  Comparison  Year and, in
       addition for the then current year, the amount of any such increase shall
       be used as an estimate  for said  current  year and this 

                                       2



       amount shall be divided into twelve (12) equal monthly  installments  and
       Tenant shall pay to Landlord,  concurrently with the regular monthly rent
       payment next due following the receipt of such statement, an amount equal
       to one (1) monthly  installment  multiplied  by the number of months from
       January in the calendar year in which said  statement is submitted to the
       month of such payment,  both months  inclusive.  Subsequent  installments
       shall be payable  concurrently with the regular monthly rent payments for
       the  balance  of that  calendar  year and shall  continue  until the next
       Comparison  Year's  statement is rendered.  If the next or any succeeding
       Comparison Year results in a greater  increase in Direct  Expenses,  then
       upon receipt of a statement  from  Landlord,  Tenant shall pay a lump sum
       equal to such total increase in Direct  Expenses over the Base Year, less
       the  total of the  monthly  installments  to be paid  for the next  year,
       following  said  Comparison  Year,  shall be  adjusted  to  reflect  such
       increase. If in any Comparison Year the Tenant's share of Direct Expenses
       be less  than  the  preceding  year,  then  upon  receipt  of  Landlord's
       statement,  any  overpayment  made by Tenant on the  monthly  installment
       basis  provided  above shall be credited  towards the next  monthly  rent
       falling due and the estimated monthly  installments of Direct Expenses to
       be paid shall be adjusted to reflect such lower  Direct  Expenses for the
       most recent Comparison Year.

       Even though the term has  expired  and Tenant has  vacated the  Premises,
       when the final determination is made of Tenant's share of Direct Expenses
       for the year in which this Lease terminates, Tenant shall immediately pay
       any increase due over the  estimated  expenses  paid and  conversely  any
       overpayment made in the event said expenses decrease shall be immediately
       rebated by Landlord to Tenant.

       Notwithstanding  anything contained in this Article,  the rent payable by
       Tenant  shall in no event be less than the rent  specified  in  Article 5
       hereinabove.

       See Addendum to Lease, P.  1 , Operating Expense Adjustments.

8.     USE Tenant shall use the Premises for general  office  purposes and shall
       not use or permit the Premises to be used for any other purposes  without
       the prior written consent of Landlord.

       General  office  purposes  shall be defined for purposes of this Lease to
       include computer rooms of any size required by Tenant.

       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 on injure or annoy them or
       use or allow the Premises to be used for any improper,  immoral, unlawful
       or objectionable  purpose, nor shall 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.

9.     COMPLIANCE  WITH 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 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  

                                       3



       now or hereafter  constituted,  relating to, or affecting the  condition,
       use or occupancy  of the  Premises,  excluding  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  be 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.

10.    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.
       Any  alterations,  additions  or  improvements  to  or of  said  Premises
       including,  but not limited to, wallcovering,  paneling, air conditioning
       units and built-in  cabinet  work,  but excepting  movable  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 persons  selected by the Tenant to make the same must first
       be  approved  in  writing by the  Landlord.  Such  approval  shall not be
       unreasonably  withheld.  Upon the expiration or sooner termination of the
       term hereof, Tenant shall, upon written demand by Landlord which shall be
       given at the time  Landlord  approves the tenant  improvement  work, , at
       Tenant's  sole cost and expense,  forthwith  and with all due  diligence,
       remove  any  alterations,  additions,  or  improvements  made by  Tenant,
       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.

11.    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.  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 with ordinary wear and tear  excepted.  Tenant shall upon
             the expiration or sooner termination of this 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 once the initial tenant improvements are completed
             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  11. A.  hereinabove,
             Landlord shall repair and maintain the  structural  portions of the
             Building,  including the basic plumbing, air conditioning,  heating
             and electrical  systems  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  such  failure
             shall persist for an unreasonable  time after written notice of the
             need of such repairs or maintenance is given to Landlord by Tenant.
             Except  as  provided  in  Article  22  hereof,  there  shall  be no
             abatement  of rent and no  

                                       4


             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.  Tenant  waives the right to make  repairs  at  Landlord's
             expense  under any law,  statute or  ordinance  now or hereafter in
             effect  (including the provisions of California Civil Code Sections
             1941 and 1942 and any  successor  sections or statutes of a similar
             nature); provided, however, if Landlord fails to perform any repair
             work required of Landlord with respect to the Premises  pursuant to
             this  Paragraph,  within thirty (30) days after  Landlord  receives
             Tenant's written notice of the need for such repair (or such period
             of time in excess of thirty  (30) days as is  reasonably  necessary
             based upon the nature of the required  work),  then Tenant shall be
             permitted  to  make  such  repairs,  using  contractors  reasonably
             approved by Landlord,  provided (i) Tenant first gives  Landlord an
             additional two (2) business  days' prior written notice  indicating
             that Tenant  intends to undertake  such repair,  and (ii)  Landlord
             fails to commence  such repair  within  such two (2)  business  day
             period.  If Tenant  performs  any  repair as  permitted  under this
             Paragraph,  Landlord agrees to reimburse Tenant for the reasonable,
             actual and documented costs of such repair performed by Tenant, but
             without  any  off-set  rights  against  rent or any  other  amounts
             payable by Tenant under this Lease.  Any repair work done by Tenant
             shall be done in  accordance  with the  provisions  of this  Lease,
             including  without  limitation,  Paragraph 12, keeping the premises
             free from liens.

12.    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  cost of any  improvements,  additions or alteration in
       the Premises to insure Landlord  against any liability for mechanics' and
       materialmen's liens and to insure completion of the work.

13.    ASSIGNMENT  AND  SUBLETTING  Tenant  shall not either  voluntarily  or by
       operation of law, assign,  transfer,  mortgage,  pledge, or encumber this
       Lease or any interest therein,  and shall not sublet the said Premises or
       any part  thereof,  or any right or  privilege  appurtenant  thereto,  or
       suffer any other person (the employees,  agents, servants and invitees of
       Tenant  excepted)  to  occupy  or use the said  Premises  or any  portion
       thereof,  without  written  consent of Landlord  first had and  obtained,
       which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld;  provided however, that
       Landlord in the exercise of its good faith  business  judgment may refuse
       to approve the assignment or sublease and shall  promptly  provide Tenant
       with the reasons for its refusal.  In the event Tenant  desires to assign
       this Lease or any interest therein or sublet all or part of the Premises,
       Tenant shall give Landlord  written  notice  thereof,  which notice shall
       include  (i) the name of the  proposed  assignee,  subtenant  or occupant
       ("Transferee"),  (ii)  reasonable  financial  information  regarding  the
       Transferee,  (iii)  a  description  of the  Transferee's  business  to be
       carried  on in the  Premises,  and (iv) the  terms of the  assignment  or
       sublease and a description of the portion of the Premises to be affected.
       Tenant shall also provide Landlord such additional  information regarding
       the  Transferee  or the proposed  assignment  or sublease as Landlord may
       reasonably request.

       Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  Tenant shall have the right to assign or
       sublet the premises,  or a portion thereof,  to a wholly owned affiliated
       company or subsidiary,  without the Landlord's  consent.  Tenant shall be
       required,  however, to give written notice to Landlord in advance of such
       assignment or sublet and to prepare  assignment  or sublet  agreements on

                                       5



       forms that are  reasonably  satisfactory  to Landlord.  In no event shall
       such an assignment or sublet  release Tenant from its  obligations  under
       the terms of this Lease.

       Consent to one  assignment,  subletting,  occupation  or use by any other
       person  shall not be deemed to a consent  to any  subsequent  assignment,
       subletting,  occupation  or use by  another  person.  Any  assignment  or
       subletting  without such consent shall be void, and shall,  at the option
       of the Landlord, constitute a default under this Lease.

14.    HOLD HARMLESS Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless  Landlord  against
       and from any and all claims arising from Tenant's use of 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 and
       against all cost,  attorney's fees, expenses and liabilities  incurred in
       or about any such claim or any action or proceeding  brought  thereon and
       in any case,  action or proceeding  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 or willful act,
       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  dampness or any
       other cause  whatsoever,  unless  caused by or due to the  negligence  or
       willful acts of Landlord, its agents,  servant or employees.  Landlord or
       its agents shall not be liable for  interference  with the light or other
       incorporeal hereditaments, less 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.    SUBROGATION  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.

16.    LIABILITY INSURANCE Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, obtain and keep in
       force  during  the  term of this  Lease,  (1) a policy  of  comprehensive
       general  liability  insurance  insuring  Landlord and Tenant  against any
       liability arising out of the ownership,  use, occupancy or maintenance of
       the Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto; (2) workers' compensation
       insurance  as may be  required  by  law;  and  (3)  "all  risk"  property
       insurance on Tenant's  above-standard  tenant improvements  (specifically
       those improvements  exceeding the Landlord's tenant improvement allowance
       as defined in Addendum to Lease, P. 4.B),  personal property,  equipment,
       furniture and fixtures.  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 



                                       6


       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 to 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  reasonably  satisfactory  to
       Landlord.  No policy  shall be  cancelable  or  subject to  reduction  of
       coverage except after ten (10) days prior written notice to Landlord.

17.    See Addendum to Lease, P.  7, Services and Utilities.

18.    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,  and is the  standard  of the
       Building. In the event any or all of the Tenant's leasehold improvements,
       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.

19.    RULES AND REGULATIONS Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with the
       reasonable  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 for the nonperformance
       of any said  rules by any  other  tenants  or  occupants.  The  rules and
       regulations  shall be applied  equally to all tenants  occupying  Regency
       Center.

20.    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 rental, plus
       all  other  charges  payable  hereunder,  and upon all the  terms  hereof
       applicable to a month-to-month tenancy.

21.    ENTRY BY LANDLORD  Landlord  reserves and shall at any and all times have
       the right to enter the  Premises,  inspect  the same,  supply  janitorial
       service  and any other  service  to be  provided  by  Landlord  to Tenant
       hereunder,  to submit said Premises to prospective purchasers or tenants,
       to post notices of  non-responsibility,  and to alter,  improve or repair
       the  Premises and any portion of the Building of which the Premises are a
       part that Landlord may deem necessary or desirable,  without abatement of
       rent 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 the entrance to the Premises shall not
       be blocked thereby, and further providing that the business of the Tenant
       shall not be interfered with unreasonably. Tenant hereby waives any claim
       for damages or for any 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.  For  each  of the
       aforesaid  purposes,  Landlord  shall at all times  have and retain a key
       with  which to unlock all of the doors in,  upon and about the  Premises,
       excluding  Tenant's  vaults,  safes and  files,  and  specific,  secured,
       sensitive and  confidential  offices and Landlord shall have the right to
       use any and all means which  Landlord  may deem proper to open said doors
       in any  emergency,  in 



                                       7


       order to obtain entry to the Premises without  liability to Tenant except
       for any failure to exercise due care for Tenant's property.  Any entry to
       the  Premises  obtained by Landlord  by any of said means,  or  otherwise
       shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible
       or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction of
       Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof.

22.    RECONSTRUCTION  In the event the  Premises  or the  Building of which the
       Premises  are a part 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 the rent while
       such  repairs are being made,  such  proportionate  reduction to be based
       upon the  extent to which 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 or  neglect  of Tenant or its  employees,
       there shall be no abatement of rent.

       In the event the  Premises or the  Building of which the  Premises  are a
       part are damaged as a result of any cause  other than the perils  covered
       by fire or extended  coverage  insurance,  then Landlord shall  forthwith
       repair the same provided the extent of the  destruction  be less than ten
       (10%) of the then full  replacement  cost of the Premises or the Building
       of which the Premises  are a part.  In the event the  destruction  of the
       Premises or the  Building is to an extent  greater  than ten (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,
       but the rent to be proportionately reduced as hereinabove in this Article
       provided; 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 and
       the Rent,  reduced by a proportionate  amount,  based upon the extent, if
       any, to which such damage materially interfered with the business carried
       on by the Tenant in the  Premises,  shall be paid up to date of said such
       termination.

       Notwithstanding  anything  to the  contrary  contained  in this  Article,
       Landlord shall not have any obligation whatsoever to repair,  reconstruct
       or restore the damage to the Premises resulting from any casualty covered
       under this Article which occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the
       term of this Lease or any extension thereof.

       Landlord  shall not be required to repair any injury or damage by fire or
       other cause, or to make any repairs to replacements of any  over-standard
       tenant  improvements  (specifically  those  exceeding  Landlord's  tenant
       improvement  allowance  as  defined  in  Addendum  to  Lease,  P. 4.B) or
       Tenant's trade fixtures, equipment, furniture or personal property.

       Except for abatement of rent as provided  above,  the 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.

23.    DEFAULT  The  occurrence  of any or more of the  following  events  shall
       constitute a default and breach of this Lease by Tenant:

       A.    The vacating or  abandonment  of the Premises by Tenant,  except in
             cases when Tenant is current with all rental payments.

                                       8


       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 ten (10) 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 Article 23.B. above,  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  sixty (60)  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  interests  in this Lease,
             where such seizure is not discharged in thirty (30) days.

24.    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 necessary  renovation  and  alteration  of the
             Premises,  reasonable  attorney's fees, any real estate  commission
             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 24.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  right and remedies  under this Lease,  including
             the right to recover the rent as it becomes due hereunder.

                                       9


       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.

25.    EMINENT  DOMAIN If more than  twenty-five  (25%)  percent of the Premises
       shall be taken or appropriated  by any public or  quasi-public  authority
       under the power of eminent  domain,  either  party  hereto shall have the
       right,  at its option,  to terminate  this Lease,  and Landlord  shall be
       entitled  to any and all  income,  rent,  award or any  interest  therein
       whatsoever  which may be paid or made in  connection  with such public or
       quasi-public  use or  purpose,  and Tenant  shall  have no claim  against
       Landlord  for the value of any  unexpired  term of this Lease.  If either
       less than or more than  twenty-five  (25%)  percent  of the  Premises  is
       taken,  and neither  party elects to terminate  as herein  provided,  the
       rental thereafter to be paid shall be equitably  reduced.  If any part of
       the Building  other than the  Premises  may be so taken or  appropriated,
       Landlord  shall have the right at its option to terminate  this Lease and
       shall be entitled to the entire award as above provided.  Notwithstanding
       the  foregoing,   Tenant  shall  be  entitled  to  that  portion  of  any
       condemnation  award made  specifically on account of Tenant's  relocation
       expenses,  increased  rental costs,  improvements  contracted at Tenant's
       expense or disruption of Tenant's business.

26.    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 rental and other  charges are paid in advance,  if any, 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.

27.    PARKING  Tenant shall have the right to use in common with other  tenants
       or occupants of the Building the parking facilities of the Building.

         (ii)     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  acceptances  of rent 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,  other  than  the  failure  of the  Tenant  to pay  the
                  particular  rental  so  accepted,   regardless  of  Landlord's
                  knowledge  of  such  preceding  breach  at  the  time  of  the
                  acceptance of such rent.

        (iii)     Notices.  All  notices  and  demands  which  may  or are to be

                  postage prepaid,  addressed to the Tenant at 120 North Redwood
                  Drive, San Rafael,  California  94903, or to such other places
                  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 100 Smith Ranch Road,  Suite 325,

                  the Tenant.

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

          (v)     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.

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

        (vii)     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.

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

         (ix)     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.

          (x)     Late Charges.  Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by
                  Tenant to  Landlord of 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 

                                       11


                  charges,  and late charges  which may be imposed upon Landlord
                  by terms of any mortgage or trust deed  covering the Premises.
                  Accordingly,  if any  installment of rent or of a sum due from
                  Tenant  shall  not  be  received  by  Landlord  or  Landlord's
                  designee  within ten (10) days after said  amount is past due,
                  then Tenant  shall pay to Landlord a late charge  equal to ten
                  (10%) percent 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
                  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.

         (xi)     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.

        (xii)     Inability to Perform.  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  troubles,  acts of God, or
                  any other cause beyond the reasonable control of the Landlord.

       (xiii)     Attorney's  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
                  as attorney's fees.

        (xix)     Sale of Premises 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  Premises  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.

         (xv)     Subordination Attornment. Upon request of the Landlord, Tenant
                  will in writing  subordinate its rights  hereunder to the lien
                  of any  first  mortgage,  or first  deed of trust to any bank,
                  insurance  company  or  other  lending  institution,   now  or
                  hereafter in force  against the land and Building of which the
                  Premises are a part, and upon any buildings  hereafter  placed
                  upon the land of which  the  Premises  are a part,  and to all
                  advances  made or  hereafter  to be  made  upon  the  security
                  thereof.

                  Notwithstanding such subordination,  neither Tenant's right to
                  quiet  possession  of the  Premises  nor this  Lease  shall be
                  disturbed  or affected  if Tenant is not in default  hereunder
                  and so long as  Tenant  shall  pay the  rent and  observe  and
                  perform all of the provisions of this Lease, unless this Lease
                  is otherwise terminated pursuant to its terms.

        (xvi)     In the event any proceedings are brought for  foreclosure,  or
                  in the  event  of the  exercise  of power  of sale  under  any
                  mortgage or deed of trust made by the  Landlord  covering  the
                  Premises,  the Tenant shall attorn to the  purchaser  upon any
                  such  foreclosure  or sale and recognize such purchaser as the
                  Landlord under this Lease.

       (xvii)     Name.Tenant  shall not use the name of the  Building or of the
                  development  in which the Building is situated for any purpose
                  other than as an address of the  business to be  conducted  by
                  the Tenant in the Premises.

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

        (xix)     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.

         (xx)     Choice of Law. This Lease shall be governed by the laws of the

                 THE JOSEPH & EDA PELL REVOCABLE TRUST, LANDLORD
                                       AND
                  FAIR, ISAAC AND COMPANY, INCORPORATED, TENANT
                             DATED OCTOBER 11, 1993



1.     OPERATING EXPENSE ADJUSTMENTS (Continued from Article 7 of the Lease.)

       A.    During the  initial  term of this Lease,  management  costs for the
             building  shall not exceed  three  percent (3%) of the gross rental
             income for the building.

       B.    Landlord  shall keep full,  accurate and separate  books of account
             and records covering all Direct  Expenses,  which books of accounts
             and records shall accurately  reflect the total Direct Expenses and
             Landlord's billings to Tenant for Operating Expense Adjustments.

       C.    Tenant  shall  have the right to  protest  any  charge to Tenant by
             Landlord for  Operating  Expense  Adjustments,  provided  that said
             protest is made within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord's
             notice of such  charge.  In the event that  Tenant  shall  protest,
             Tenant  shall be  entitled  to audit  Landlord's  books of account,
             records and other  pertinent data regarding  Direct  Expenses.  The
             audit shall be limited to the  determination of direct Expenses and
             charges to Tenant for Operating  Expense  Adjustments  and shall be
             conducted  during normal  business  hours.  If the audit shows that
             there has been an overpayment by Tenant,  the overpayment  shall be
             immediately due and repayable by Landlord to Tenant.

2.     OPTION TO EXTEND

       A.    Landlord  grants to Tenant  the  option to extend  the term of this
             Lease for two 3-year periods commencing when the prior term expires
             upon each and all of the following terms and conditions:

               (i)   Tenant gives to Landlord and  Landlord  receives  notice of
                     the  exercise  of the option to extend  this Lease for said
                     additional  term no later than twelve (12) months  prior to
                     the time  that the  option  period  would  commence  if the
                     option were exercised,  time being of the essence.  If said
                     notification of the exercise of said option is not so given
                     and received, this option shall automatically expire;

              (ii)   At the time said written notification of exercise of option
                     is given and received, Tenant shall not be in default under
                     any  of  the  material  obligations  of  this  Lease  to be
                     performed   by  Tenant  and  this  Lease   shall  not  have
                     previously   terminated   nor   terminated   prior  to  the
                     commencement of the option term;

             (iii)   All of the terms and  conditions of this Lease except where
                     specifically modified by this option shall apply;

                                       1


             (iv)    The monthly rent for each month of the option  period shall
                     be calculated as follows:

                     The rent payable by Tenant  during the first option  period
                     shall be the Fair Market  Rental  Value of the Premises (as
                     defined  below)  at the  commencement  date  of the  option
                     period.  There shall be an annual  C.P.I.  increase  not to
                     exceed four  percent  (4%) in each  subsequent  year of the
                     first  option  period.  The rent in the  first  year of the
                     second  option period shall be the rent in the last year of
                     the first  option  period  to which  will be added a C.P.I.
                     increase not to exceed four percent (4%). There shall be an
                     annual  C.P.I.  increase not to exceed four percent (4%) in
                     each  subsequent  year of the second option period.  All of
                     the C.P.I.  increases  during the option  periods  shall be
                     calculated  on the  basis of the  formula  provided  in the
                     Lease P. 5.B.

                     If  Landlord  and Tenant  cannot  agree on the Fair  Market
                     Rental  Value of the  Premises  for the  extension  periods
                     within  forty-five  (45) days after the Tenant has notified
                     Landlord of its exercise of the option, Landlord and Tenant
                     shall  each  select,  within  forty-five  (45) days of such
                     notification,  an appraiser who must be a qualified  M.A.I.
                     appraiser to determine  said Fair Market Rental  Value.  If
                     one party fails to so  designate  an  appraiser  within the
                     time  required,  the  determination  of Fair Market  Rental
                     Value of the one appraiser  who has been  designated by the
                     other  party  hereto  within  the  time  required  shall be
                     binding  upon both  parties.  The  appraisers  shall submit
                     their  determinations  of Fair Market  Rental Value to both
                     parties within thirty (30) days after their  selection.  If
                     the  difference  between  the  two  determinations  is  ten
                     percent  (10%) or less of the  higher  appraisal,  then the
                     average  between the two  determinations  shall be the Fair
                     Market Rental Value of the Premises.  If said difference is
                     greater  than ten percent  (10%),  then the two  appraisers
                     shall  within  twenty  (20) days of the date that the later
                     submittal  is  submitted  to the parties  designate a third
                     appraiser  who must also be a qualified  M.A.I.  appraiser.
                     The sole  responsibility  of the third appraiser will be to
                     determine  which of the  determinations  made by the  first
                     appraisers is most accurate. The third appraiser shall have
                     no right to propose a middle ground or any  modification of
                     either  of  the  determinations   made  by  the  first  two
                     appraisers. The third appraiser's choice shall be submitted
                     to the  parties  within  thirty  (30) days after his or her
                     selection.  Such  determination  shall  bind  both  of  the
                     parties and shall establish the Fair Market Rental Value of
                     the Premises.  Each party shall pay for their own appraiser
                     and shall pay an equal  share of the fees and  expenses  of
                     the third appraiser.

                     Fair  Market  Rental  Value for purpose of this Lease shall
                     mean the then  prevailing  rent for premises  comparable in
                     size,  quality,  and  orientation to the demised  Premises,
                     located  in  buildings  comparable  in size to,  and in the
                     general   vicinity  of,  the  building  which  the  demised
                     Premises are  located,  leased on terms  comparable  to the
                     terms contained in this Lease.


                                       2



3.     RIGHT OF FIRST  OPPORTUNITY  TO LEASE  ADDITIONAL  PREMISES  AT 100 SMITH
       RANCH ROAD, SAN RAFAEL

       At any time during the term hereof, or any options to extend which Tenant
       has exercised,  provided that Tenant is not in default as defined herein,
       Tenant shall have a right of first  opportunity to lease all office space
       that  becomes  available  for lease at 100 Smith Ranch Road,  San Rafael,
       based on the terms and conditions as outlined below.  Landlord and Tenant
       acknowledge  that there are  existing  tenants at 100 Smith  Ranch  Road,
       which tenants have options to renew or who wish to renew their respective
       leases,  and that these existing options and requests to renew would take
       precedent over the first opportunity to lease described herein.

       Landlord  and  Tenant  further  acknowledge  that  this  right  of  first
       opportunity  to lease shall apply only to premises,  from which  existing
       tenants vacate or which is currently vacant.

       Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of the availability of additional
       office  premises at 100 Smith Ranch  Road,  San Rafael  within 30 days of
       Landlord receiving notice from an existing Tenant at 100 Smith Ranch Road
       of that Tenant's  intent to vacate their premises.  Landlord's  notice to
       Tenant shall include the size of premises,  the  projected  date at which
       the premises may be available,  and a floor plan  indicating  the current
       configuration of the premises.

       Tenant shall have 30 days after receipt of notice from Landlord to notify
       Landlord of Tenant's  intent to lease the premises  which was the subject
       of the notice.  In the event Landlord does not receive notice from Tenant
       of Tenant's intent to lease said available space, Landlord shall have the
       right to lease said space to any other Tenant which Landlord chooses, and
       Tenant's right of first opportunity to lease that specific premises shall
       be deemed waived.

       In the  event  Tenant  notifies  Landlord  of its  intent  to lease  said
       premises,  Landlord  and Tenant  shall  proceed as soon as is  reasonably
       possible to execute a lease  agreement  for the  specific  premises  that
       became available. Terms and conditions of the Lease shall be based on the
       same terms and  conditions  of the  lease(s)  on the other  space  Tenant
       occupies in the Building at the time the lease is executed.  Landlord and
       Tenant shall make a good faith effort to execute a Lease for the specific
       available space within 30 days after Tenant has notified  Landlord of its
       intent to lease said space.

       This  right  of first  opportunity  to lease  shall in no way  limit  the
       Landlord from executing  leases with new tenants for terms of any length,
       with  options to renew for any length,  for those spaces for which Tenant
       has not  exercised  its right of first  opportunity  to lease as  defined
       herein.

4.     TENANT IMPROVEMENTS

       A.    Construction:  Landlord shall,  prior to the Commencement  Date (as
             defined in Addendum P. 6.A),  construct the tenant  improvements in
             Tenant's  Premises  based on the space plan  prepared  by  Tenant's
             Architect  dated  _______,  Exhibit  B to the  Lease,  and  working
             drawings prepared by ______________,  dated ___________, which will
             be attached to the Lease as Exhibit C.

                                       3


       B.    Allowance:  Landlord shall  contribute  Eighty Thousand Six Hundred
             Thirty-eight  Dollars ($80,638.00) ($23.00 x 3,506 useable sq. ft.)
             toward the  construction  of the tenant  improvements  for Tenant's
             Premises.  The  Tenant  Improvement  Allowance  shall  include  all
             architectural,  engineering and consultant  fees. In the event that
             the total cost of the tenant improvements including  architectural,
             engineering  and consulting  fees,  exceeds the Tenant  Improvement
             Allowance,  Tenant  shall pay  Landlord  the amount of such  excess
             within  thirty (30) days after receipt by Tenant of an invoice from
             Landlord  documenting the cost of the tenant  improvement  work. In
             the event the total cost of the  tenant  improvements  in  Tenant's
             Premises is less than  $80,638.00,  Landlord  shall provide  Tenant
             with a credit for the unused  balance which Tenant can apply to the
             Tenant Improvement Allowance for the build-out in Tenant's Premises
             on the  Second  Floor of the  Building  (See  Lease  dated July 10,
             1993).

       C.    Contractor:  The contractor for the tenant improvements in Tenant's
             Premises  shall be Mike  Donovan.  Tenant shall  approve the budget
             figures for the build-out prior to commencement of the work.

             If Tenant chooses, WBE Electrical and WBE Telecom shall provide the
             electrical and data communication system cabling services, Peerless
             Lighting will provide lighting fixtures,  and Warren Security shall
             provide the security systems.

       D.    Change  Orders:  Tenant may,  but only by written  instructions  or
             drawings   issued  to  Landlord  and   Contractor   ("Change  Order
             Request"),  make  changes  to the  work  specified  in the  working
             drawings, including without limitation,  requiring additional work,
             directing the omission of work  previously  ordered or changing the
             quantity or type of any materials,  equipment or services. Promptly
             upon receipt of a Change  Order  Request,  Contractor  will provide
             Tenant with a statement  in detail  setting  forth the cost of said
             change  (including a breakdown of costs  attributable  to labor and
             materials,  construction  equipment  exclusively  necessary for the
             change,  and  preparation  or amendment to shop drawings  resulting
             from said  change and any time  delays  anticipated  to result from
             said  change).  Tenant will have two (2) days after receipt of such
             statement  in  which  to  confirm  the  Change  Order  Request  and
             authorize  the work to be  performed or to withdraw  such  request.
             Change  Orders will be signed by Landlord  and Tenant in advance of
             any work being performed on a Change Order.

       E.    Substantial  Completion:  For purposes of this Lease,  "Substantial
             Completion" shall mean that construction of the tenant improvements
             has been completed in accordance with the working drawings,  except
             for minor finishing details of construction, decoration, mechanical
             adjustment,  minor  replacement of defective or damaged  materials,
             and  other  items  of  a  type  commonly  found  on   architectural
             punchlists,  all of  which  do not  materially  interfere  with the
             occupancy  and use of the  Premises  by  Tenant  or  with  Tenant's
             ability to complete the  improvements to the Premises to be made by
             Tenant.

             Within seven calendar (7) days after Substantial  Completion of the
             tenant  improvements,  Tenant  shall  make  an  inspection  of  the
             Premises and prepare a punchlist of items needing  additional  work
             by  the  Contractor.   Landlord's  Contractor  shall  complete  all
             punchlist items reasonably  identified by Tenant or Landlord within
             thirty  calendar  (30)  days  after  the  inspection  or as soon as
             practicable  thereafter.  If 

                                       4


             there is any  dispute as to whether  Contractor  has  substantially
             completed  the work,  a good faith  decision of Tenant's  Architect
             shall be final and binding on the parties.

             Landlord's  Contractor will perform the tenant improvement work and
             Landlord   will  notify   Tenant  in  writing   that  the  work  is
             Substantially Complete. If Tenant fails to object in writing within
             seven calendar (7) days thereafter  specifying in reasonable detail
             the  items of work  needed  to be  performed  in  order to  achieve
             Substantial Completion, then Tenant shall be deemed conclusively to
             have agreed that the work is Substantially  Complete,  for purposes
             of Commencement under the Lease.  Substantial  Completion shall not
             prejudice  Tenant's  rights  to  require  full  completion  of  any
             remaining items of work.

       F.    Ownership of Tenant  Improvements:  Upon  termination of the Lease,
             all of the tenant  improvements shall remain in the Premises unless
             Landlord shall consent in writing to the removal thereof by Tenant.
             All trade  fixtures,  equipment,  furniture  and personal  property
             installed  by or at the expense of Tenant shall remain the property
             of Tenant.

       G.    Life Safety: With respect to Life Safety System,  Landlord believes
             to the best of its knowledge  that Regency Center meets all current
             code requirements including handicap access compliance. If any code
             requirements are not met with respect to the Building's Life Safety
             System all costs to  accomplish  changes  necessary to the Building
             shall be  covered  by  Landlord.  All code  compliance  costs  with
             respect  to  Tenant's  Premises  shall  be  covered  by the  Tenant
             Improvement Allowance or by Tenant.

5.     POSSESSION

       A.    If for any reason whatsoever, Landlord cannot deliver possession of
             the  Premises to Tenant as of the  Commencement  Date as defined in
             Addendum,  P. 6.A,  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  Date and the date when
             Landlord actually delivers possession.

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

       C.    If Landlord  shall not have  delivered  possession  of the Premises
             within ninety (90) days after the Commencement  Date (as defined in
             AddendumP.  6.),  Tenant  may,  at  Tenant's  option,  by notice in
             writing to Landlord  within ten (10) days  thereafter,  cancel this
             Lease,  in which event the  parties  shall be  discharged  from all
             obligations  hereunder;  provided,  however,  that if such  written
             notice by Tenant is not  received by Landlord  within said ten (10)
             day period,  Tenant's  right to cancel this lease  hereunder  shall
             terminate and be of no further force or effect. If there are Tenant
             Caused Delays (as defined in AddendumP.  6.C.),  the number of days
             of delay shall be added to the ninety  (90) days in which  Landlord
             has to deliver  possession  of the Premises  before  Tenant has the
             right to cancel this Lease.

                                       5


6.     COMMENCEMENT

       A.    The  Commencement  Date shall be defined as five (5) business  days
             after Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant, after
             Substantial  Completion of the tenant  improvement work (as defined
             in  Addendum  P. 4.E) and in no event  later than  January 5, 1994.
             Thirty  (30) days  after  Substantial  Completion,  Landlord  shall
             notify  Tenant in writing of the actual  Commencement  Date. In the
             event Substantial Completion is delayed by Tenant Caused Delays (as
             defined  in  Addendum  P.  6.C.) the same  number of days  shall be
             deducted  from total number of days of the  build-out and that date
             shall be the Commencement Date.

       C.    The following  shall be deemed  "Tenant Caused Delays" for purposes
             of this lease:

               (i)   Tenant's   or  Tenant's   Architect's   failure  to  timely
                     complete,  approve  or  reasonably  object to any  proposed
                     plans,  specifications or drawings for the Premises, or the
                     tenant improvement work.

              (ii)   Tenant's  requests  for changes,  alterations  or additions
                     with respect to the layout of the  Premises,  the build-out
                     of the tenant  improvements  and the materials or finish of
                     the improvements which result in delay.

             (iii)   Any upgrades,  special work, fixtures or equipment or other
                     items  to the  extent  that the same  involve  longer  lead
                     times,  installation  times or other delays not encountered
                     in  standard  office  improvements  or as a  result  of any
                     materials not readily  available or unusually  difficult to
                     install or apply.

              (iv)   The  performance  by  Tenant,  or by any  company or person
                     employed by Tenant,  of any work at the  Premises  which in
                     any manner disrupts or delays the work at the Premises that
                     Landlord or Contractor shall be performing; or

               (v)   Any  failure  of  Tenant  to  cooperate  with  Landlord  or
                     otherwise  act in good  faith in order to cause the Work to
                     be designed and performed in a timely manner.

7.     SERVICES AND UTILITIES

       A.    Provided that Tenant is not in default  hereunder,  Landlord agrees
             to furnish to the Premises  five-day per week  janitorial  service.
             Landlord  shall  also  maintain  and keep  lighted,  heated and air
             conditioned   during  reasonable  hours  of  generally   recognized
             business days, the common entries, common corridors,  common stairs
             and toilet  rooms in the  building  of which  Premises  are a part.
             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.

       B.    Tenant shall have 24-hour per day, seven-day per week access to its
             Premises.

                                       6


       C.    Landlord shall provide Tenant a monthly allowance of $350.60 (3,506
             useable square feet x $.10) for Tenant's electrical  service.  This
             allowance  is  included in the Base Rent as defined in Article 5 of
             the Lease.

             Landlord and Tenant recognize that Tenant's  electrical service may
             cost in excess of $.10 per  square  foot per month due to  Tenant's
             heavy electrical requirements. Landlord's electrical engineer shall
             provide  an  estimate  of  Tenant's  electrical  usage.  Electrical
             engineer's  estimate  shall be based on a  computation  of Tenant's
             electrical  equipment  and  special  heating  and air  conditioning
             requirements,  the amount of amps  required by Tenant's  use of the
             premises  and the  building  kilowatt  charge from  Pacific Gas and
             Electric.

             Electrical  engineer  shall  document  his  calculations  and shall
             submit these  calculations  to Tenant for Tenant's  review.  In the
             event Tenant  questions  any of the  variables  used in  engineer's
             estimate,  the Tenant shall submit  information  to the  electrical
             engineer   sufficient  to  establish  Tenant's  electrical  use  at
             premises. Electrical engineer, Tenant and Landlord shall then agree
             upon correct data to be used in computation of Tenant's  electrical
             usage and  electrical  engineer,  if  necessary,  shall  submit new
             calculations for Tenant's electrical use.

             Landlord  shall bill  Tenant  monthly  for this  excess  electrical
             usage. After the first year of Tenant's occupancy, or sooner should
             Landlord  or  Tenant   require  it,   electrical   engineer   shall
             recalculate the estimate of Tenant's  electrical usage to determine
             the monthly charge for the following year. At this time, any excess
             payments  made  by  Tenant  during  the  preceding  year  would  be
             refunded, or any shortfalls for the preceding year would be paid by
             Tenant.

       D.    The hours of operation of the heating and air  conditioning  system
             for the building are as follows:

                     Monday thru Friday:                 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
                     Saturdays:                          8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

       E.    In the event Tenant  requires the  operation of the heating and air
             conditioning  system  beyond the normal hours of operation  for the
             building,  Tenant shall  notify the building  manager in advance of
             the required  extended hour usage,  and the building  manager shall
             program the heating and air  conditioning  system to operate during
             the time period requested by Tenant.

       F.    In the event  Tenant shall  request  that an override  mechanism be
             installed during the term of the Lease, an override mechanism shall
             be  installed  on the heating  and air  conditioning  system  which
             services  Tenant's  premises.  The cost of this mechanism  shall be
             paid by the Tenant at the time of the installation.  This mechanism
             shall  allow  Tenant  to  have  control  of  the  heating  and  air
             conditioning system for its premises in hours other than the normal
             building hours stated above.

             Along  with  the  override  mechanism,  an  hourly  meter  shall be
             attached to the override mechanism which shall measure Tenant's use
             of the  heating  and air  conditioning  system  beyond  the  normal
             building  hours.  On a monthly basis,  Landlord shall charge Tenant
             for this usage by  multiplying  the number of hours used by the per
             hour charge for operating the heating and air  conditioning  system
             which shall be  determined by  Landlord's  electrical  engineer and
             heating and air conditioning contractor.

                                       7


8.     COMMUNICATIONS INSTALLATION

       Tenant has installed certain communications  equipment on the roof of the
       Building. Prior to the end of the term of this Lease, Tenant, at Tenant's
       sole cost and expense,  shall  remove the  communications  equipment  and
       shall,  forthwith  and with all due  diligence,  repair any damage to the
       Premises causes by such removal.

9.     CONSENT

       Landlord  and Tenant  agree that in the event  their  consent is required
       pursuant  to the  provisions  of the  Lease,  such  consent  shall not be
       unreasonably withheld.

                                      DATED
                                OCTOBER 11, 1993


         This  Second   Addendum  to  Lease  dated  January  31,  1994  ("Second
Addendum") is hereby attached to and  incorporated  into and made a part of that
Lease dated October 11, 1993,  by and between The Joseph and Eda Pell  Revocable
Trust and Fair,  Isaac and Company,  Incorporated and First Addendum to Lease by
and between The Joseph and Eda Pell Revocable Trust and Fair, Isaac and Company,
Incorporated  dated October 11, 1993.  The parties agree to the following  terms
and conditions set forth herein below:


LEASE

29.      GENERAL PROVISIONS

         (x)   Late Charges. Paragraph 29.(x) shall be amended to delete the ten
               percent  (10%) late charge and provide  for a five  percent  (5%)
               late charge.

FIRST ADDENDUM

7.       SERVICES AND UTILITIES

         Paragraph C shall be amended as follows:

         C.    Landlord  shall  provide  Tenant a monthly  allowance  of $440.77
               (4,007 rentable SF x $.11) for Tenant's electrical service.  This
               allowance is included in the Base Rent as defined in Article 5 of
               the Lease.

               Landlord and Tenant  recognize that Tenant's  electrical  service
               shall  cost in  excess of $.11 per  square  foot per month due to
               Tenant's heavy electrical and air conditioning requirements.

               Tenant shall be charged for all PG&E charges to the building over
               and  above  the  monthly  allowance   provided  above,  less  any
               over-standard  charges to other  tenant's  in the  building  (any
               usage over the $.11  allowance  provided to each  Tenant.) At the
               time of  Lease  execution,  no per  square  foot  tenants  in the
               Building,  other than Fireman's  Fund who currently  occupies the
               entire  second floor,  have any  over-standard  useage.  Landlord
               shall notify  Tenant as to any changes in the  existing  tenants'
               electrical useage or any  over-standard  useage of new tenants to
               the  building.  Tenant may at any time notify  Landlord  that, in
               Tenant's  view,  a particular  tenant may be using  over-standard
               electrical  and Landlord  will  investigate  that useage with the
               assistance of an electrical  engineer.  Landlord  shall report to
               Tenant its  findings  regarding  the useage and shall  charge the
               other tenant for any actual  over-standard  useage,  which amount
               shall be deducted from Tenant's  over-standard charges. If Tenant
               does  not  agree   with   Landlord   or   Landlord's   engineer's
               calculation,  Tenant may have its own engineer evaluate the other
               tenant's useage.

                                       1


               For the first year of Tenant's  occupancy,  Landlord shall charge
               Tenant $.11 per useable  square foot per month for  over-standard
               electrical  useage as a  projected  expense,  which  amount is an
               average paid by Tenant in its other Premises located at 111 Smith
               Ranch Road and 120 North  Redwood  Drive.  This amount  ($385.66)
               shall be paid  along  with the  monthly  rent.  At the end of the
               first year of  occupancy,  Landlord  shall prepare a PG&E invoice
               analysis  showing  the  actual  cost of  over-standard  useage by
               Tenant.  Landlord  shall  credit  Tenant for any amounts  paid in
               excess of the actual cost of over-standard  useage.  Tenant shall
               pay Landlord for any costs in excess of the total  projected  sum
               paid by Tenant over the first year of occupancy.  The amount paid
               by Tenant for over-standard electrical useage for each subsequent
               year of occupancy  shall be based on the previous  year's charges
               and a similar  accounting  between Landlord and Tenant will occur
               annually.
