subject to the rights of any mortgagee, look solely to the interest of Landlord,
its successors and assigns in the Building and the rents, avails, profits and
other proceeds derived therefrom, for the satisfaction of each and every remedy
of Tenant in the event of default by Landlord hereunder; such exculpation of
personal liability is absolute and without any exception whatsoever. If the

applicable, shall not be deemed an asset or property of said partnership or
limited liability company."

Landlord. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees if Landlord is unable to deliver
possession of the Additional Premises to Tenant on July 1, 1995 for any reason,

thereof. Under such circumstances, the Effective Date for all purposes,
including without limitation the commencement of the Monthly Base Rental

possession of the Additional Premises to Tenant and such modification of the
Effective Date shall not extend the Termination Date. However, in the event such
possession is not tendered on or before July 31, 1995, then Tenant, in its sole
discretion, may revoke this Amendment (without otherwise affecting the validity
of the Lease) whereupon Landlord, within thirty (30) days after written demand,
shall reimburse Tenant for any and all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Tenant
in connection with the Additional Premises Work.

         10. LANDLORD. For all purposes of the Lease, "Landlord" shall mean
