and take possession of the premises and shall not be liable for any loss, damage
or injury to the property or person of the Tenant or occupancy of, in or upon
the premises.

         If the Landlord repairs the premises within ninety (90) days, this
lease shall continue in full force and effect and the Tenant shall not be
required to pay rent for any portion of said ninety (90) days during which the
premises are wholly unfit for occupancy.

         18. In the event any dispute arises concerning the terms of this lease
or the non- payment of any sums under this lease, and the matter is turned over

the other party.
