         8.3      Landlord and its agents, employees, and contractors shall have
the right to enter the Property during normal business hours, without due

                                   ARTICLE IX
                            ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

         9.1      Tenant shall not, without Landlord's prior written consent
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed: (i)
assign, convey, mortgage, pledge or encumber this Lease Agreement or any
interest under it; or (ii) sublet the Property or any part thereof.

         9.2      Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any
time or from time to time during the Lease Term, Tenant desires to sublet all or
a part of the Property or assign, convey, mortgage, pledge or encumber this
Lease Agreement or any interest under it, Tenant shall notify Landlord in
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
assignee or subtenant and the area proposed to be sublet. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Article IX, Tenant may sublet or assign, convey, mortgage,
pledge, encumber, or otherwise transfer this Lease Agreement or any interest
under it to its parent corporation or to an affiliate or subsidiary corporation
of which such parent corporation owns the majority of the shares of common stock

shall notify Landlord, in writing, of such an assignment or sublease,
conveyance, mortgage, pledge, encumbrance, or other transfer prior to the
commencement of the term of such assignment or sublease.

         9.3      Within twenty (20) days after Landlord's receipt of the
proposed assignment or sublease, conveyance, mortgage, pledge, encumbrance, or
other transfer, Landlord shall approve or disapprove in writing the terms of the
proposed assignment or sublease, conveyance, mortgage, pledge, encumbrance, or
other transfer, and the proposed assignee or subtenant or other party thereto.
Failure to so approve or disapprove with such twenty (20) day period shall be
deemed approval by Landlord. If a 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 approval of same shall be deemed null and void and
Tenant shall again comply 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 written consent of Landlord, this Lease Agreement
is assigned or the Property or any part thereof is sublet or occupied by anyone
other than Tenant,

                                        5

<PAGE>

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.

                                    ARTICLE X

         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.

                                  ARTICLE XII

the alternative, elect to self-insure the Tenant improvements and its personal
property in whole or in part.

for property damage and One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence for
personal injuries or deaths of persons occurring in or about the Property, in
either event arising from the intentional or negligent acts or omissions of
Tenant, its employees, agents or business invitees. Said policy shall provide
that said insurance shall not be canceled unless thirty (30) days prior written
notice shall have been given to Landlord. Tenant may, in the alternative, elect
to self-insure the Property, in whole or in part, provided such self-insurance,
along with any and all additional third-party insurance shall equal not less
than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000). Tenant shall carry, at its expense, all
risk, fire and extended coverage insurance insuring the Property for 100% of its
replacement cost, as such may increase from time to time during the Term of this
Lease. Certificates of Insurance shall be delivered to Landlord by Tenant upon

event of default under subsection 14.1(a) above, and, in the case of an event
of default under subsection 14.1(b) above if such event of default is not cured
within thirty (30) days after written notice of such event of default is given

and if this Lease Agreement shall not have been terminated, Tenant shall
continue to pay all rent and all other charges due under this Lease Agreement up

tenant of part or all of the Property, and thereafter Tenant shall pay monthly
during the remainder of the Lease Term the difference, if any, between the rent
and other charges collected from any such subsequent tenant or tenants and the
rent and other charges reserved in this Lease Agreement, but Tenant shall not be
entitled to receive any excess of any such rents collected over the rents
reserved herein.

default and deduct or offset any such amounts from sums due to Landlord under
this Lease Agreement until Tenant is fully compensated for the expenses it may
incur and losses it may sustain as a result of such breach.
