        caused thereby, nor shall this lease be void or voidable, but Lessee
        shall not be liable for any rent until possession is delivered.  Lessee
        may terminate this lease if possession is not delivered within ten (10)
        days of the commencement of the term hereof.

        herein, or any other part of the building materially affecting Lessee's
        use of the premises, shall be taken by eminent domain, this lease shall
        terminate on the date when title vests pursuant to such taking.  The

        repair the same, provided that such repairs can be made within sixty
        (60) days under existing governmental laws and regulations, but such
        partial destruction shall not terminate this lease, except that Lessee
        shall be entitled to a proportionate reduction of rent while such
        repairs are being made, based upon the extent to which the making of
        such repairs shall interfere with the business of Lessee in the
        premises.  If such repairs cannot be made within said sixty (60) days,
        Lessor, at his option, may make the same within a reasonable time, this
        lease containing in effect with the rent proportionately abated as
        aforesaid, and in the event that Lessor shall not elect to make such
        repairs which cannot be made within sixty (60) days, this lease may be
        terminated at the option of either party.  In the event that the
        building in which the demised premises may be situated is destroyed to
        an extent of not less than one-third of the replacement costs thereof,
        Lessor may elect to terminate this lease whether the demised premises be
        injured or not.  A total destruction of the building in which the
        premises may be situated shall terminate this lease.
