goods, all fixtures, improvements and betterments placed in or about the Premises belonging to Tenant or any person
connected with, or claiming under or through loss or claims, including reasonable attorneys fees and cost in defending a claim, arising out of loss or damage to Tenant's Property belonging to others.
Landlord means Landlord, its employees and agents.

    TENANT
SHALL PROVIDE INSURANCE THE EXTENT OF NOT LESS THAN NINETY PERCENT (90%) OF THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF TENANT'S PROPERTY AS APPRAISED BY TENANT'S INSURER(S), WITH AN AGREED
AMOUNT ENDORSEMENT.

    8.3 a)
TENANT'S INSURANCE POLICIES. Insurance carried by Tenant will be with companies licensed in the State in which
the Property is located. The Tenant will deliver to Landlord certified copies of the policies of insurance or certificates evidencing the existence and amounts of insurance. No policy shall be
cancelable or subject to reduction of coverage or other modification except after 30 days prior written notice to Landlord. Tenant shall, at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the
policies, furnish Landlord with renewals or "binders" for the policies, or Landlord may order the required insurance and charge the cost to Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 23.

       b) INCREASED RISK. Tenant will not do anything or permit anything to be done by anyone under its
control to allow any hazardous condition to exist ("Increased Risk") which shall invalidate or cause the cancellation of the insurance policies carried by either Tenant or Landlord. If Tenant does or
permits any Increased Risk which causes an increase in the cost of Landlord's insurance policies, then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord pursuant to Paragraph 23 for additional premiums
attributable to any act. Omission or operation of Tenant causing the increase in the premiums, including, but not limited to, non-additional premiums will not excuse Tenant from
terminating or removing the Increased Risk unless Landlord agrees in writing. Absent agreement, Tenant shall promptly terminate or remove the Increased Risk.

    8.4 WAIVER OF SUBROGATION ON PROPERTY POLICIES. Each party releases the other party from any and all liability or
responsibility (to the other party or anyone claiming through or under them by way of subrogation of otherwise) for loss or damage to property resulting from causes insured against, even if such
casualty has been caused by the fault or negligence of the other party, or anyone for whom such party may be responsible. This release shall be applicable and in force and effect only with respect to
loss or damage occurring during a time when the releasor's policies contain a clause or endorsement to the effect that any such release shall not adversely affect or impair the policies or prejudice
the right of the

releaser to recover under the policy in question. Each party agrees that is policies will include such a clause or endorsement so long as the other party pays the extra cost. Each party shall notify
the other party of any extra cost. The other party may then elect to have the clause or endorsement included by paying the cost. The release shall not limit the effectiveness of any indemnity,
assumption of risk or release of liability contained elsewhere in this Lease.

    8.5 INDEMNITY. Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord, its agents and employees, from and against any and all
claims arising from: (a) Tenant's use of the premises, (b) the conduct of Tenant's business or anything else done or permitted by Tenant to be done in or about the Premises or elsewhere
in the Industrial Park, (c) any breach or default in the performance of the Tenant, or Tenant's agents, contractors or employees. Tenant shall defend Landlord against all costs, attorney's fees
claims, action or proceeding. In case any action or proceeding is brought against Landlord by reason of a claim, Tenant, upon notice from Landlord, shall defend the same at Tenant's expense by counsel
satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons, in or about the Premises arising from any cause and Tenant waives all such claims against Landlord, except
claims due to Landlord's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

    The
liability of Tenant to indemnify Landlord, its agents and employees, shall not extend to any matter against which Landlord shall be effectively protected by insurance, provided
that if any liability shall exceed the amount of effective and collectable insurance, the liability of Tenant shall apply to the
excess. Whether the insurance is "effective" depends in part, but not by way of limitation, on the absence of any defense to coverage made by the insurer.

9.  CASUALTY DAMAGE.

    9.1 DAMAGE TO BUILDING SPACE. Tenant will give immediate notice to Landlord of fire or other casualty damage to the
Premises. Landlord will repair the Building Space, unless it decides to terminate under Paragraph 9.2. Tenant will be obligated to pay prorate fixed and additional rent on the portion of the
Building Space it can occupy.

9.2 OPTIONS TO TERMINATE.

the damage to repair, either Landlord or Tenant from the date of the damage to repair, either Landlord or Tenant has the option to terminate this Lease by giving written notice within 30 days
after the date of the damage (except Tenant shall not have such option if less than twenty percent (20%) of the Building Space is damaged, in which case the provisions of 9.2(c) shall apply). This
Lease shall terminate either 30 days after receipt of the notice or the date Tenant vacates the Premises, whichever is sooner.

	b)
	DAMAGE TO OTHER PORTIONS OF BUILDING. If damage to other portions of the Building is sufficient to require more than 180 days
from the date of the damage to repair, the Landlord has the sole option to terminate this Lease by following procedures in 9.2(a).

	c)
	REPAIRS REQUIRIING LESS THAN 180 DAYS TO REPAIR. If the estimated repair time is less than 180 days and Landlord diligently
pursues repair, Tenant may not terminate if repair time runs over 180 days due to causes beyond Landlord's control.

	d)
	DAMAGE DURING LAST SIX MONTHS OF TERM. If casualty damage occurs to the Premises or to the Building during the last six
(6) months of the Lease Term, Landlord may terminate this Lease. If Tenant has an unexpired option to extend, the option to extend or renew must be exercised within twenty (20) days of
the casualty. If the option is exercised, Landlord may not cancel unless there is substantial damage. If the option is not exercised, the option is terminated and Landlord can terminate the Lease.

    9.3 NEGLIGENCE OF TENANT—UNINSURED LOSS. An "Insured Loss" is damage caused by an event which is either
required to be or which has been elected by Landlord to be covered by insurance described in Paragraph 8.2(a). If casualty damage occurs which is not an Insured Loss and which is due to a
negligent or willful act of Tenant, Tenant will repair the damage at its expense and will remain liable for the full rent during repair. Termination under Paragraph 9.2 will not be available to
Tenant.

    9.4 TENTANT'S CLAIMS. No compensation or claims or diminution of rent will be allowed, or paid by Landlord, by reason of

or otherwise transfer of encumber all or any part of Tenant's interest in this Lease or in the Premises, without Landlord's prior written consent which consent may be withheld by Landlord for any
reason. Any attempt assignment, transfer, mortgage, encumbrance or subletting without consent shall be void as against Landlord, and shall constitute a breach of the Lease.

    12.2 NO RELEASE OF TENANT. Regardless of Landlord's consent, no subletting or assignment will alter the primary
liability of Tenant to pay the rent and to perform all other obligations to be performed by Tenant. Acceptance of rent from any other person will not be deemed a waiver by Landlord of any provision of
this Lease. Consent to one assignment or subletting will not be deemed consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting.

    12.3 PARTICIPATION BY LANDLORD. In the event of any assignment or sublease involving rent in excess of the Fixed Minimum
Rent or Additional Rent required under this Lease (Excess Rent), Landlord shall participate in the Excess Rent. Tenant shall promptly forward to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of all such Excess Rent

properties or of the Premises or any or all rents, or income is appointed without the consent or acquiescence of Tenant, or guarantor, and the appointment remains unvacated or unstayed for an
aggregate of 60 days (whether or not consecutive).

13.2 NOTICE; TERMINATION.

    Landlord
at any time after the happening of an Event of Default may declare an Event of Default by written notice to Tenant specifying the Event(s) of Default. In the same or a later
written notice Landlord may elect that his Lease terminate at 5:00 p.m. on the date listed by Landlord. The date will be at least 5 days after the giving of the termination notice
(including the termination date). On the date in the notice, subject to Paragraph 13.4, the Lease and all interests demised will terminate and all rights of the Tenant shall cease. The
termination will not take place if before the stated date and time:

	(i)
	Tenant
has paid all arrears of fixed minimum rent and additional rent and all other amounts payable Tenant, (together with interest pursuant to Paragraph 24.10) and as
additional rent all expenses (including, without limitation, attorney's fees and expenses) incurred by Landlord due to any default by Tenant, (the "Arrearages"), and

	(ii)
	All
other defaults have been cured to the satisfaction of Landlord.

    13.3 REPOSSESSION, RE-LETTING. After notice of an Event of Default, whether before or after a termination as

obligation to) re-let the Premises, any part thereof, or the Premises with additional premises, on account of Tenant (until Landlord makes demand for final damages), in Tenant's or
Landlord's name, without notice to Tenant, for a term (which may be more or less than the period which would have been the balance of the term of this Lease) and on conditions (including concession,
periods of rent free use, or
alterations) and for purposes which Landlord determines, and Landlord may receive the rents. Landlord is not liable for failure to collect any rent due upon any such re-letting.

    13.4 SURVIVAL OF TENANT'S OBLIGATIONS; DAMAGES. No provisions in Paragraphs 13.1, 13.2 and 13.3 will relieve Tenant of
its liability and obligations under this Lease, all of which will survive. Landlord will not be deemed to accept a surrender of Tenant's lease or otherwise discharge Tenant because Landlord takes or
accepts possession of the Premises or exercises control over them as provided. Acceptance of surrender and discharge may be done only by an instrument executed on behalf of Landlord by its duly
authorized officer or employee.

    In
the event of termination or repossession following an Event of Default, Tenant will pay to Landlord the Arrearages up to the earlier of the date of termination or repossession.
Furhter Tenant, until the end of what would have been the term of this Lease in the absence of termination and whether or not the Premises or any part have been re-let, is liable to
landlord for, and will pay to Landlord, as liquidated and agreed "Current Damages" for Tenant's default:

	a)
	the
Fixed Minimum Rent and all additional rent and other charges payable by Tenant or which would be payable if this Lease had not terminated, plus all Landlord's expenses in
connection with any reletting, including, without limitation, repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys' fees, expenses of employees, alteration costs, and expenses of
preparation for such reletting, LESS

	b)
	the
net proceeds, if any, of any re-letting on account of Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 13.3. If the Premises have been relet with additional premises, the net
proceeds, if any, of reletting shall be prorated.

    Tenant
shall pay Current Damages to Landlord monthly on the days on which the Fixed Minimum Rent would have been payable if the Lease were not terminated, and Landlord is entitled to
recover from Tenant each month.

    After
termination under Paragraph 13.2, whether or not Landlord has collected Current Damages, Tenant will pay to Landlord, on demand, as liquidated and agreed "Final Damages"
for Tenant default and in lieu of all Current Damages beyond the date of demand, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of

	x)
	the
present case value on the date of demand of the fixed Minimum Rent and additional rent and other charges which would have been payable (net of any sales taxes or customary
leasing commissions) from the date of demand for what would have been the unexpired term of this Lease if it had not been terminated, LESS

	y)
	the
present cash value of the fair rental value (net of any sales taxes or customary leasing commissions) of the Premises for the same period, PLUS

	z)
	the
Arrearages to the earlier of the date of termination or repossession and Current Damages up to the date of demand which remain unpaid.

    If
any statute or rule of law governing a proceeding in which Final Damages are to be proved validly limits the amount less than that provided for, Landlord is entitled to the maximum
amount allowable under the statute or rule of law. The discount rate of interest shall be as provided in Paragraph 24.10.

14. CONDEMNATION.

    14.1 PERMANENT CONDEMNATION. If the Premises or any portion are taken under the power of the eminent domain, or sold
under the threat of the exercise of the power (both called "Condemnation"), this lease will terminate as to the part taken as of the first date of the condemning authority takes either title or
possession. If the portion of the Premises taken is more than twenty-five percent (25%) or makes the balance unfit for Tenant's use, Tenant has the option to terminate this Lease as of the
date the condemning authority takes possession. The option will be exercised in writing as follows:

	i)
	within
thirty (30) days after Landlord has given Tenant written notice of the taking; or

	ii)
	absent
notice, within thirty days after the condemning authority given Tenant written notice of taking; or

	iii)
	absent
notice, within ten (10) days after the condemning authority has taken possession.

    If
Tenant does not terminate, this Lease will remain in full force and effect as to the portion of the Premises remaining. The rent will be proportionately reduced.

    Any
award for Condemnation is the Landlord's whether the award is made as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold or for the taking of the fee, or as severance damages.
Tenant is entitled to any award for damage to Tenant's trade fixtures and removable personal property and moving expenses. If this Lease is not terminated, Landlord, to the extent of severance damages
received, will repair damage to the Premises causes by condemnation except to the extent that Tenant has been reimbursed by the condemning authority. Tenant will pay any amount in excess of the
severance damages required to complete the repair.

    14.2 TEMPORARY CONDEMNATION. Upon Condemnation of all or a part of the Premises for temporary use, this Lease will
continue without change or abatement in Tenant's obligations, as between Landlord and Tenant. Tenant is entitled to the award made for the use. If the Condemnation extends beyond the initial term, or
only current renewal term, the award will be prorated between the term. The Tenant is responsible for the cost of any restoration work required to place Premises in the condition they were in prior to
Condemnation unless the release of the Premises occurs after termination. In such case, Tenant will assign to the Landlord any claim it may have against the condemning authority. If Tenant has
received restoration funds, it will give the funds to Landlord within 15 days after demand.

    15. FORCE MAJEURE. If Landlord's performance of any obligations under any provision in this Lease is delayed by an act
or neglect of Tenant, Act of God, strike, labor dispute, unavailability of materials, boycott, governmental restrictions, riots, insurrection, war, catastrophe, or act of the public enemy, the period
for the beginning or completion of the obligation is extended for a period equal to the delay.

    16. SUBORDINATION. This lese, at Landlord's option, will be subordinate to any form of security and to all renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions. Tenant's right to quiet possession of the Premises will not be disturbed if Tenant is not in default under this Lease, unless it is
otherwise terminated under the terms. If any mortgagee, trustee or ground lessor elects to have this Lease prior to the lien of its security, and gives written notice to Tenant, the Lease will be
deemed prior to the security, whether dated before or after the date of the security, or the recording date. Tenant agrees to execute any required documents, and Tenant irrevocably appoints Landlord
as Tenant's attorney-in-fact to do so, if Tenant fails to so execute within ten (10) days after written demand.

    17. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Tenant, after not less than ten (10) days prior written notice from Landlord, will
deliver to Landlord a written statement i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of the modification and certifying that
this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect) and the date to which the rent and other charges are paid in advance, if any, ii) stating the amount of the security deposit, if any,
held by Landlord and iii) acknowledging that there are not, to Tenant's knowledge, any uncured defaults on the part of the Landlord, or stating any claimed defaults. The statement may be relied
upon by any prospective purchaser or lender of the Premises.

    Tenant's
failure to deliver the statement within the time will be conclusive upon Tenant i) that this Lease is in full force and effect, without modification except as may be
represented by Landlord, ii) that any security deposit is as represented by Landlord, iii) that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's performance, and iv) that not more than
one month's rent has been paid in advance.

    If
Landlord desires to sell or finance or refinance all or part of the Premises, Tenant agrees to deliver to any proposed purchaser or lender named by Landlord all financial
statements of Tenant as may be

reasonably required by the proposed purchaser or lender. The statements will include the past three years' financial statements of Tenant. All financial statements will be received by Landlord in
confidence and will be used only for these purposes.

    18. CORPORATE AUTHORITY. If Tenant is a corporation, each individual executing this Lease on behalf of the corporation

corporation, or in accordance with the bylaws of the corporation, and that this Lease is including upon the corporation. If Tenant is a corporation, Tenant will, within thirty (30) days after
execution of this Lease, deliver to Landlord a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the corporation or applicable bylaws authorizing the ratifying the execution of this Lease or
establishing the authority of the person executing this lease.

    19. NOTICES. All notices required or permitted under this Lease shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given in
mailed in any U.S. Post Office by certified or registered mail, addressed to Landlord or Tenant, respectively, at the addresses provided in the Information Schedule.

party by notice as provided above may change the address for notices and payment of rent, which notice will be effective only upon actual receipt by the other party.

    20. BROKER'S FEE. Landlord and Tenant represent and warrant to each other that except as stated below, no broker, agent
or finder has been employed by it in connection with this Lease and no commissions are payable by it to any person. Tenant and Landlord each agree to indemnify, defend and save harmless the other from
any expenses or claim for fees or commissions resulting from the indemnifying part having dealt with any broker, agent or finder in negotiating this lease. Landlord acknowledges that its broker in
this transaction was as listed in the Information Schedule and that payments of commissions will be in accordance with their agreement. Tenant represents it did not deal with any other broker, agent
or finder purporting to represent Landlord.

    21. LANDLORD'S ACCESS. Landlord and Landlord's agents have the right to enter the Premises at reasonable times for the
purpose of inspecting, showing the Premises to prospective purchasers, or lenders, and making alterations, repairs, improvements or additions to the Premises or to the Building that Landlord deems
necessary or desirable. Landlord may place any ordinary "For Sale" signs on the
Premises and Landlord may, during the last 180 days of the term, place on the Premises any ordinary "For Lease" signs, all without rebate of rent or liability.

    22. LANDLORD'S LIABILITY. The term "Landlord" means only the owner or owners of the fee title at the time in question.
If the Landlord (or the then grantor) transfers any title or interest from and after the date of transfer the landlord (or the then grantor) is relieved of all liability for Landlord's obligations to
be performed after the date of transfer. Any Security Deposit not delivered to the grantee is excepted. Landlord's obligations under this Lease shall thereafter be finding on Landlord's successors and
assigns, but only during their respective periods of ownership. Tenant agrees to attorn to any transferee or lender of Landlord.

    23. LANDLORD'S RIGHT. If Tenant fails to make any required payment or defaults in performing any other term in this
Lease, landlord may, but need not (and without waiving the default) make such payment or remedy other defaults for Tenant's account and at Tenant's expense, immediately and without notice in case of
emergency, otherwise on five (5) days written notice to Tenant. The costs, with interest under Article 24.10, and with a charge equaling 15% of the cost (to cover Landlord's overhead),

24. MISCELLANEOUS.

    24.1 TIME OF ESSENCE. Time is of the essence under this Lease.

    24.2 COVENANTS AND CONDITIONS. Each provision of this Lease performable by Tenant is both a covenant and a condition.

    24.3 CAPTIONS. Article and paragraph captions are only for convenience.

    24.4 INCORPORATION OF PRIOR AGREEMENTS, AMENDMENTS. This Lease contains all agreements of the parties with respect to
any matter mentioned. No prior agreement or understanding is effective after execution of this Lease. This Lease may be modified in writing only, signed by the parties. The Exhibits and Rent Schedule
attached to this Lease are part of the Lease as fully as if placed in the body of the Lease.

    24.5 CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No remedy or election is exclusive but, where ever possible, is cumulative with all other
remedies at law or in equity.

    24.6 SEVERABILITY. The invalidity of any provision of this Lease as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction,
shall not affect the validity of any other provision. The valid portions of the Lease shall be interpreted together to accomplish the intent of the parties.

    24.7 MERGER. The voluntary or other surrender by Tenant or a mutual cancellation will work a merger, and, at Landlord's
option, will terminate existing subtenancies or operate as an assignment of subtenancies.

    24.8 HOLDING OVER. If Tenant retains possession after the Lease Term expires, without the written consent of Landlord,
the occupancy will be a tenancy for month-to-month at a rent in the amount of 1.5 times the last fixed minimum rent plus all additional rent and other charges payable, and upon
all the terms applicable to a month-to-month tenancy. Any options and rights of first refusal contained in the
Lease are terminated during the tenancy. Such tenancy shall not last more than ninety (90) days without Landlord's written consent.

    24.9 WAIVERS. Waiver by Landlord of any provision is not a waiver of any other provision or of any subsequent breach by
Tenant of the same or any other provision. Landlord's consent or approval of any act will not make it unnecessary to obtain Landlord's consent or approval in the future. The acceptance of rent by
Landlord is not a waiver of any breach by Tenant other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rent accepted.

    24.10 INTEREST ON PAST-DUE OBLIGATIONS. Any amount due to Landlord not paid when due will bear interest from
the date due at the prime lending rate in effect from time to time at the Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. in New York City or the highest rate of interest payable under the law, whichever is lowest.
Payment of interest will not cure any default by Tenant under this Lease except as expressly provided.

    24.11 ATTORNEY'S FEES. If either party brings an action regarding terms or rights under this Lease, the prevailing party
in any action, on trial or appeal, is entitled to reasonable attorney's fees as fixed by the court to be paid by the losing party. The term "attorney's fees" shall include, but is not limited to,
reasonable attorney's fees incurred in any and all judicial, bankruptcy, reorganization, administrative or other proceeding, including appellate proceedings, whether the proceedings arise before or
after entry of an final judgment and all costs and disbursements in connection with the matter.

tenant, Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises, and/or any claim of injury or damage and any emergency statutory or any other statutory remedy.

    24.13 RECORDING. Tenant will not record this Lease without Landlord's written consent. Any recordation, at Landlord's
option will constitute a non-curable default of Tenant. Either party upon

request of the other, shall promptly deliver to the other a "short form" memorandum of this Lease for recording. If the "short form" has been recorded, Tenant agrees to deliver a notice of termination
at the time this Lease is terminated. The Tenant, upon the request of any party in interest will promptly deliver any instruments necessary to carry out these terms. The Tenant irrevocably appoints

be a material breach under this Lease.

    24.18 RULES AND REGULATIONS. Tenant will comply with Landlord's rules and regulations respecting the Industrial Park. As
detailed in Exhibit B.
