writing (hereinafter referred to in this Article IX as the "Notice") of the
terms of the proposed subletting or assignment, the identity of the proposed

fully executed counterpart of such assignment or sublease, conveyance, mortgage,
pledge, encumbrance, or other transfer is not delivered to Landlord within
forty-five (45) days after the date of Landlord's approval, then Landlord's

with all the conditions of this Section 9.3 as if the Notice hereinabove
referred to had not been given and received.

         9.4      If, with the consent of Landlord, this Lease Agreement is
assigned or the Property or any part thereof is sublet or occupied by anyone
other than Tenant, Landlord may, after default by Tenant, collect rent from the
assignee, subtenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the Rent,
but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy, or collection shall be deemed (i)
a waiver of any of Tenant's covenants contained in this Lease Agreement, or (ii)
the release of Tenant from further performance by Tenant of its covenants under
this Lease Agreement.

         10.1     If the Property is damaged or rendered untenantable by fire or
other casualty, this Lease Agreement shall continue in effect and all of
Tenant's obligations under this Agreement, including the obligation to pay rent
to Landlord will continue in full force and effect and Tenant shall not be
entitled to any offset, setoff or to terminate this Agreement in any manner.

                                   ARTICLE XI
                                 EMINENT DOMAIN

         11.1     If all or any substantial part of the Property, including, but
not limited to, ten percent (10%) of the parking, access, building or signage,
should be taken for any public or quasi-public use under governmental law,
ordinance, or regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase
in lieu thereof, and the taking would prevent or materially interfere with the
use of the Property by Tenant for the purpose for which it is then being used,
then, at the sole option of Tenant, this Lease Agreement shall terminate
effective when the physical taking shall occur in the same manner as if the date
of such taking were the date originally fixed in this Lease Agreement for the
expiration of the Lease Term.

         11.2     If part of the Property is taken for any public or
quasi-public use under any governmental law, ordinance, or regulation, or by
right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof, and this Lease
Agreement is not terminated as provided in subsection 11.1 above, this Lease
Agreement shall not terminate but the Rent payable hereunder during the
unexpired portion of this Lease Agreement shall be reduced to such extent, if
any, as may be fair and reasonable under all of the circumstances, and Landlord
shall undertake to restore the Property to a condition suitable for Tenant's
use, as near to the condition thereof immediately prior to such taking as is
reasonably feasible under all circumstances.
