Tenant to remove such fixtures, at Tenant's expense, at  the
end of the Lease term.

12.    Assignment/Subletting Restrictions.  Tenant  may  not
assign  this agreement or sublet the Leased Premises without
the  prior  written consent of the Landlord. Any assignment,

13.   Insurance.

     (i) By Landlord. Landlord shall at all times during the
term  of  this  Lease, at its expense, insure  and  keep  in
effect  on  the  building in which the Leased  Premises  are
located  fire insurance with extended coverage.  The  Tenant
shall  not permit any use of the Leased Premises which  will
make  voidable any insurance on the property  of  which  the
Leased  Premises  are  a part, or on the  contents  of  said
property or which shall be contrary to any law or regulation
from  time  to  time  established  by  the  applicable  fire
insurance   rating  association.  Tenant  shall  on   demand
reimburse  the  Landlord, and all other  tenants,  the  full
amount  of any increase in insurance premiums caused by  the
Tenant's use of the premises.

      (ii)  By Tenant. Tenant shall, at its expense,  during
the  term  hereof, maintain and deliver to  Landlord  public
liability  and  property damage and  plate  glass  insurance
policies  with respect to the Leased Premises. Such policies
shall  name  the Landlord and Tenant as insureds,  and  have
limits  of at least $            for injury or death to  any
one  person  and  $           for any one  accident,  and  $
with  respect  to damage to property and with full  coverage
for  plate  glass.  Such policies shall be in whatever  form
and   with   such  insurance  companies  as  are  reasonably
satisfactory  to  Landlord,  shall  name  the  Landlord   as
additional insured, and shall provide for at least ten days'
prior notice to Landlord of cancellation.

14.   Indemnification  of  Landlord.  Tenant  shall  defend,
indemnify,  and hold Landlord harmless from and against  any
claim, loss, expense or damage to any person or property  in
or  upon the Leased Premises, arising out of Tenant's use or
occupancy of the Leased Premises, or arising out of any  act
or  neglect of Tenant or its servants, employees, agents, or
invitees.

15.  Condemnation. If all or any part of the Leased Premises
is  taken by eminent domain, this Lease shall expire on  the
date of such taking, and the rent shall be apportioned as of
that date. No part of any such award shall belong to Tenant.

16.   Destruction of Premises. If the building in which  the
Leased  Premises  is located is damaged  by  fire  or  other
casualty,  without  Tenant's fault, and  the  damage  is  so
extensive  as to effectively constitute a total  destruction
of  the property or building, this Lease shall terminate and
the rent shall be apportioned to the time of the damage.  In
all  other cases of damage without Tenant's fault,  Landlord
shall repair the damage with reasonable dispatch, and if the
damage  has rendered the Leased Premises wholly or partially
untenantable, the rent shall be apportioned until the damage
is  repaired.  In  determining what  constitutes  reasonable
dispatch,  consideration shall be given to delays caused  by
strikes,  adjustment of insurance, and other  causes  beyond
the Landlord's control.

17.   Landlord's Rights upon Default. In the  event  of  any
breach  of  this lease by the Tenant, which shall  not  have
been  cured within TEN (1O) DAYS, then the Landlord, besides
other  rights  or  remedies  it may  have,  shall  have  the
immediate  right of reentry and may remove all  persons  and
property  from  the Leased Premises; such  property  may  be
removed and stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the
cost of, and for the account of, the Tenant. If the Landlord
elects  to  reenter as herein provided, or  should  it  take
possession  pursuant to any notice provided for by  law,  it
may  either terminate this Lease or may, from time to  time,
without terminating this lease, relet the Leased Premises or
any part thereof, for such tern or terms and at such rental,
or  rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as  the
Landlord  in  Landlord's own discretion may deem  advisable.
Should rentals received from such reletting during any month
be  less than that agreed to be paid during the month by the
Tenant  hereunder, the Tenant shall pay such  deficiency  to
the  Landlord  monthly. The Tenant shall  also  pay  to  the
Landlord,  as  soon  as ascertained, the cost  and  expenses
incurred  by  the  Landlord, including reasonable  attorneys
fees, relating to such reletting.

18.  Quiet Enjoyment. The Landlord agrees that if the Tenant
shall  pay  the rent as aforesaid and perform the  covenants
and agreements herein contained on its part to be performed,
the  Tenant  shall peaceably hold and enjoy the said  rented
premises  without hindrance or interruption by the  Landlord
or  by  any other person or persons acting under or  through
the Landlord.

19.   Landlord's Right to Enter. Landlord may, at reasonable
times,  enter  the Leased Premises to inspect  it,  to  make
repairs  or alterations, and to show it to potential buyers,
lenders or tenants.

20.   Surrender upon Termination. At the end  of  the  lease
term  the Tenant shall surrender the leased property  in  as
good  condition as it was in at the beginning of  the  term,
reasonable use and wear excepted.

21.   Subordination. This lease, and the Tenant's  leasehold
interest, is and shall be subordinate, subject and  inferior
to  any  and  all liens and encumbrances now and  thereafter
placed  on  the  Leased Premises by Landlord,  any  and  all
extensions  of such liens and encumbrances and all  advances
paid under such liens and encumbrances.

      (ii)  Severability. If any clause or provision  herein
shall  be  adjudged invalid or unenforceable by a  court  of
competent  jurisdiction or by operation  of  any  applicable
law, it shall not affect the validity of any other clause or
provision, which shall remain in full force and effect.

      (iii)  Waiver. The failure of either party to  enforce
any  of the provisions of this lease shall not be considered
a  waiver  of  that provision or the right of the  party  to
thereafter enforce the provision.

entire understanding of the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof and may not be modified except by an
instrument in writing and signed by the parties.
