         2.       Improvements. Lessee may install, at its expense, dynamometers

holder on the insurance policy.

         9.       Destruction.  Should the  Premises be destroyed in whole or in

interest in this lease by condemnation,  then this lease shall terminate and the
rights and obligations of the parties shall cease.

         11.      Assignment.  Lessee may not assign this lease, or any interest
therein,  or sublet the  premises  without  first  having  obtained  the written
consent of the Lessor to such assignment or sublease, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.

         12.      Default.   The  occurrence  of  any  of  the  following  shall
constitute a default by Lessee: (a) Failure to pay rent when due, if the failure
continues for five (5) days after written  notice has been given by Lessor;  (b)

is not cured  within  thirty  (30) days after  written  notice has been given to
