               the  right,   but  not  the  obligation,   to  cause  repairs  or
               corrections to be made, and any reasonable  costs therefore shall

                                       10
<PAGE>
               Landlord)  shall be  repaired  and restored by and at the expense
               of  Landlord,  and the Tenant shall repair and restore the damage
               to  Tenant's  fixtures,  furniture  and  furnishings;   provided,
               however,  that Landlord's  obligation to restore shall be limited
               by  the  amount  of  insurance   proceeds  actually  received  by
               Landlord.  During the period of such  repairs  and  restorations,
               rent and additional  rent hereunder  shall abate in proportion to

               replacements   promptly.   Tenant  may,   as  said   repairs  and
               replacements are being made by Landlord,  have reasonable  access
               to the  Demised  Premises  for  the  purpose  of  installing  its
               fixtures, equipment,  furniture and furnishings so long as Tenant
               does not  unreasonably  interfere  with  Landlord's  workers.  No
               Penalty  shall  accrue for  reasonable  delays which may arise by
               reason  of  adjustment  of  fire  insurance  on the  part  of the
               Landlord  and/or  Tenant and for  reasonable  delay on account of
               labor   troubles  or  any  other  similar  or  dissimilar   cause
               reasonably beyond Landlord's or Tenant's control.

          (c)  TERMINATION.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing  provisions of this
               section, if the building of which the Demised Premises are a part
               is totally damaged or is rendered wholly  untenantable by fire or
               other  cause,  then either the  Landlord  or Tenant  may,  within
               thirty (30) days after such fire or other cause,  terminate  this
               Lease by  giving  the  other  party  notice  in  writing  of such
               decisions and  thereupon,  the term of this Lease shall expire by
               lapse of time upon the fifth (5th) day after such notice is given
               and Tenant shall vacate the Demised  Premises and  surrender  the
               same to Landlord.

               provided herein or breached any of the covenants herein provided,
               and such  default  continues  for a period  of  thirty  (30) days
               except for the payment of rent or other monies payable  hereunder

               pay the Landlord,  as liquidated and current damages for Tenant's
               default, the present value of the equivalent of the amount of the
               rent,  other sums and  charges  and  additional  rent as would be
               payable  under  this  Lease by Tenant if the Lease  were still in
               effect,  less the present value of the net  proceeds,  if any, of
               the reletting effected pursuant to the provisions  hereof,  after
               deducting  all of  Landlord's  expenses in  connection  with such
               reletting, including, without limitation, all repossession costs,
               brokerage and management commissions,  operating expenses,  legal
               expenses, reasonable attorney fees, alteration costs and expenses

               and charges,  and additional rent to be paid by Tenant until what
               would have been the end of the term hereof. Subsequent letting of
               the Demised  Premises  after payment of such  liquidated  damages
               shall not diminish or alter Tenant's  obligation to pay such sums
               hereunder.

          times to any and all  mortgages  or  deeds  of  trust  that now or may

          other  charges due from  Tenant to Landlord  for the last month of the
          Term and each  preceding  month until such  Security  Deposit is fully
          applied.
