     or waiver):

          (i)   Landlord  has delivered to Tenant all  applicable
          subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements executed

    option  (each  such right referred to herein as  a  "Renewal
    Option")  to  renew  and extend this  Lease  for  three  (3)
    consecutive five (5) year periods (each such period referred
    to  as  an  "Option Period" and collectively as the  "Option
    Periods")  immediately following the  Initial  Term,  during
    which  Option  Period(s) all the provisions, conditions  and
    covenants  of  this Lease shall continue in full  force  and

     exercised,  references to the words  "Term"  in  this  Lease
     shall  include the Option Period(s) by which the Term  shall
     have  been extended. In the event this Lease is canceled  or
     terminated, the expiration date of this Lease shall be  that
     date on which this Lease is canceled or terminated. The term
     "Lease  Year"  shall mean each successive period  of  twelve
     (12)   consecutive  calendar  months,  commencing   on   the
     anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date, except  that  the
     first  Lease  Year  shall commence on the Rent  Commencement
     Date.

     following  monthly  sums  ("Basic  Rent")  which  shall   be
     payable, in advance, on the first day of each month:

  event  that  Tenant's  "Gross Sales" (as hereinafter  defined)
  during any calendar year exceed the applicable breakpoint  set
  forth  in the table below, commencing on the Rent Commencement
  Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a sum equal to two and one-

  payment  of rent, an annual statement of Gross Sales  for  the
  preceding  calendar year and the full Percentage Rent  payable
  hereunder, if determined to be payable.

Tenant shall prepare and keep at its principal offices, until  at
least  the date that is twelve (12) months following the  end  of
each  calendar  year,  an accurate account  of  its  Gross  Sales
disclosing the cash receipts and such other information as may be
reasonably necessary to determine the Gross Sales, including  all
such  sales  records  which  would normally  be  examined  by  an
independent accountant pursuant to generally accepted  accounting
principles  if  an  audit  of Tenant's Gross  Sales  were  to  be
performed. Landlord may, at its option and expense, acting  alone
or through its duly authorized representatives, inspect and audit
Tenant's  record  of sales made from the Leased Premises  at  any
time  or  from time to time, provided such inspection  and  audit
covering  a  calendar year (i) is made within twelve (12)  months
following  receipt of Tenant's statement for such  calendar  year
and  (ii)  is  performed  by Landlord's  employees  or  regularly
employed  certified public accountants whose fees  shall  not  be
charged  on  a  contingent fee or similar  basis.  Any  claim  by
Landlord  for  revision of any statement of Gross  Sales  or  for
additional Percentage Rent for any calendar year must be made  in
writing to Tenant within fifteen (15) months after the receipt of
Tenant's statement for such calendar year. If such inspection and
audit  shall  disclose a deficiency in Percentage Rent  paid  for
such  calendar  year, Tenant shall promptly pay to  Landlord  the
amount  of such deficiency. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything
contained  herein to the contrary, if such inspection  and  audit
shall  disclose  that the Gross Sales stated  in  the  previously
submitted  annual  statement of Gross Sales of Tenant  were  less
than  ninety-five  percent (95%) of the actual Gross  Sales,  and
that  Percentage Rent has thus been erroneously underpaid, Tenant
shall  pay  or  reimburse Landlord for all reasonable  costs  and
expenses  of the certified public accountant selected to  perform
such  inspection and audit. Landlord agrees to hold in confidence
all  information obtained from Tenant during any  inspection  and
audit  of Tenant's books and records; provided, however, Landlord
may  disclose  Tenant's Gross Sales to Landlord's  "Mortgagee(s)"
(as  hereinafter defined) if such disclosure is required by  such
Mortgagee(s)  and  if  such  Mortgagee(s)  agree  to  hold   such
information in confidence.

The  term  "Gross  Sales" as used in this Lease  shall  mean  the
actual  sales price for all goods, wares and merchandise sold  by
Tenant  upon  or  from the Leased Premises, including  sales  and
charges for cash or credit (subject to collection, as limited  by
subsection  (12) below) and including, but not limited  to,  such
sales and services where the orders therefore originate in, at or
from  the  Leased Premises; provided, however, that the following
transactions  shall be expressly excluded from  the  term  "Gross
Sales":  (1)  service charges paid by customers or other  charges
for  extending  credit  to customers, and amounts  in  excess  of
Tenant's cash sales price charged to customers on sales  made  on
credit  or  under a time payment plan; (2) sales to employees  of
Tenant  at  discount; (3) returns to and refunds made by  Tenant;
(4)  exchanges  of  merchandise between stores or  warehouses  of
Tenant  or  any  affiliate or subsidiary  of  Tenant  where  such
exchange  is  made  solely for the convenient  operation  of  the
business of Tenant and not for the purpose of consummating a sale
which  has  been made at the Leased Premises; (5)  city,  county,
state  or  federal  sales, luxury or excise taxes  (if  otherwise
included  in the calculation of Gross Sales) on such sales  which
are  both  added to the selling price (or absorbed  therein)  and
paid  to  the  taxing authority by Tenant (but  not  by  Tenant's
vendor);  (6)  sums  and credits received in  the  settlement  of
claims for loss of or damage to
merchandise;  (7)  receipts for incidental  items,  such  as
cigarettes  and  candy,  from  snack  bars,  cafeterias  and
vending  machines operated primarily for the use of Tenant's
employees   and   receipts  from  public  or   private   pay
telephones;  (8)  charges  for repair  and/or  servicing  of
merchandise,  including  sales  of  service  contracts;  (9)
delivery and installation charges relating to work performed
outside  the Leased Premises; (10) exchanges of merchandise,
but  only  to  the  extent of the value of  the  merchandise
returned for exchange; (11) sales of Personal Property  used
at  the  Leased Premises and not sold in the ordinary course
of  business; (12) sales which are uncollectible and written
off  Tenant's  books  as uncollectible; (13)  allowances  on
merchandise claimed to be defective or unsatisfactory;  (14)
service charges on bad checks; (15) revenues generated  from
video  games,  vending machines, shampoo machines,  in-store
automatic teller machines, telefax and telecopy machines  or
other similar machinery and equipment; (16) sales of lottery
tickets;  (17)  revenues generated from  coupon  processing;
(18)  accommodation  check cashing  fees  and  accommodation
sales, such as sales of postage stamps, government bonds  or
savings  stamps  or  similar  items;  and  (19)  returns  of
merchandise to shippers or manufacturers.

Tenant  makes  no representations or warranties  as  to  the
sales,  if  any,  which it expects to  make  in  the  Leased
Premises,  and  Landlord acknowledges  that  the  Percentage
Rent,  if  any, is in the nature of a bonus, the amounts  of
which, if any, may fluctuate from year to year. Landlord and
Tenant  agree  that  if Tenant should  assign,  sublease  or
vacate  the Leased Premises prior to the expiration  of  the
Term,  Tenant's  liability for rent  due  after  Tenant  has
assigned, subleased, or vacated the Leased Premises shall be
limited to Basic Rent and shall not include Percentage Rent.

c)  Tenant  shall  have  no obligation  to  pay  Basic  Rent,
Percentage Rent or any other charges due under this Lease  to
any  party  other than Landlord unless and until  Tenant  has
received  notice  of a change given pursuant  to  Section  24
below. In the event such notice is given in connection with a
transfer  or  sale  of  Landlord's  interest  in  the  Leased
Premises and/or this Lease, such notice shall not be  binding
upon  Tenant  until Tenant has received (i)  a  copy  of  the
instrument  assigning  or transferring  Landlord's  interest,
(ii)  a  letter  specifying the addresses to which  rent  and
notices  are  to be forwarded to such assignee or  transferee
and  (ii)  a W-9 form executed by the assignee or transferee.
The  instrument assigning or transferring Landlord's interest
shall evidence the fact that such assignee or transferee  has
assumed  all of Landlord's obligations under this  Lease  and
has  acquired  sufficient title to  the  Leased  Premises  to
enable   such   assignee  or  transferee  to   perform   such
obligations; provided, however, this provision shall  not  be
applicable to any transfer given as security for a loan,  and
no transfer shall release a prior Landlord from any liability
hereunder  that  accrued  during the  period  of  such  prior
Landlord's ownership of the Leased Premises.

7)  TENANT'S FURNISHINGS, FIXTURES, EQUIPMENT AND OTHER PERSONAL

install  anywhere in or on the Leased Premises any  furnishings,
fixtures, equipment and/or other personal property, including  a
satellite  dish and any necessary cables or supporting equipment
(collectively,  "Personal Property"), which it  deems  necessary
for  its  use  of the Leased Premises; provided,  however,  that
Tenant  shall  repair, at its own expense,  any  damage  to  the
Leased  Premises occasioned by such installation.  Landlord  and
Tenant  recognize that Tenant may commence the  installation  of
its  Personal Property prior to the Completion Date, as  defined
in  the  Construction  Provisions. Any  such  Personal  Property
supplied and installed in the Leased Premises, except that which
is  permanently  attached, shall be and remain the  property  of
Tenant.  Such delivery, installation and placement  of  Personal
Property  in the Leased Premises by Tenant shall not  constitute
final acceptance or actual possession of the Leased Premises  by
Tenant,  and  shall  not  obligate Tenant  to  pay  Basic  Rent,
Percentage  Rent or other charges prior to the Rent Commencement
Date  set  forth in Section 4(b) of this Lease. It is agreed  by

cost  and  expense, unless such damage is caused  by  Landlord's
negligence,  intentional misconduct, or  willful  acts,  or  the
negligence,   intentional  misconduct,  or   willful   acts   of
Landlord's  agents  or contractors, in which event  such  damage
shall be repaired by
Landlord  at its sole cost and expense. Risk of loss as  to  such
Personal Property shall remain with Tenant at all times prior  to
and  during  the Term. Tenant shall indemnify, defend,  and  save
Landlord harmless from and against all claims, suits, liabilities
and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, for damage or
injury  to  persons or property directly resulting from  Tenant's
negligent  installation  of  Personal  Property  in  the   Leased
Premises,  except to the extent that such claim, suit,  liability
or  expense  is  caused,  in  whole or  in  part,  by  Landlord's
negligence,  intentional  misconduct, or  willful  acts,  or  the
negligence, intentional misconduct, or willful acts of Landlord's
employees, agents or contractors.

8)   TENANT'S ALTERATIONS AND SIGNS.

     a)   Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, at its
     sole  cost  and expense and at any time, without  Landlord's
     consent, to make non-structural improvements, alterations and
     replacements in, on or to the Leased Premises. Tenant agrees that
     such improvements, alterations, additions and replacements will
     (i)  be  made  in a good and workmanlike manner by  licensed
     contractors and (ii) comply with all applicable laws, and Tenant
     shall defend, indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any and
     all costs, damages and expenses resulting therefrom, except to
     the extent that such costs, damages or expenses are caused by
     Landlord's  negligence, intentional misconduct, or  acts  or
     omissions, or the negligence, intentional misconduct, or acts or
     omissions of Landlord's agents or contractors. Tenant shall not
     make any structural improvements, alterations, additions  or
     replacements without first obtaining Landlord's written consent
     thereto,  which consent shall not be unreasonably  withheld,
     conditioned or delayed. If Landlord's consent is required and if
     plans and specifications for such work must be prepared in order
     for  Tenant to obtain a building permit for such work,  then
     conceptual plans and specifications for such work  shall  be
     provided to Landlord prior to commencement of any such work.
     Landlord shall be deemed to have consented to such  work  if
     written notice of disapproval, with reasons specified, is not
     received by Tenant within fifteen (15) days following Tenant's
     delivery of such plans and specifications to Landlord. Without
     cost or expense to Landlord, Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant
     in Tenant's efforts to obtain any and all licenses, building
     permits,  certificates  of occupancy or  other  governmental
     approvals which may be required in connection with any  such
     improvements,  alterations, additions and replacements,  and
     Landlord shall execute, acknowledge and deliver any documents
     reasonably required in furtherance of such purposes.

     b)   Tenant may erect, at its cost and in its sole discretion, an
     announcement sign on the Leased Premises, the location, size and
     style of which shall be in Tenant's sole and absolute discretion,
     announcing Tenant's future business at the Leased  Premises.
     Tenant may, at its cost and in its sole discretion, but subject
     to  compliance with all applicable governmental regulations,
     install (1) any and all exterior signs on the exterior walls
     and/or roof of the Leased Premises as it deems necessary and (2)
     any and all pylon or monument signs on the Leased Premises as it
     deems necessary. Tenant's ability to erect at the Leased Premises
     no  less than 225.66 square feet of exterior signage in  the
     color(s),  size(s) and location(s) shown on page  7  of  the
     Prototypical  Plans  and Exhibit "I-1" (as  defined  in  the
     Construction Provisions) and no less than a 60 square foot pylon
     sign in the
    size(s)  and location(s) shown on page 7 of the Prototypical
    Plans  and  Exhibit  "I-1" (as defined in  the  Construction
    Provisions) and no less than a 60 square foot monument  sign
    in the color(s), size(s) and location(s) shown in Exhibit "I-
    2"  attached  hereto  and on the Site Plan  is  a  condition
    precedent to its obligations under this Lease and,  in  that
    regard,  Tenant  shall apply for all necessary  governmental
    permits  for its desired signage within a reasonable  period
    of  time after the Commencement Date of this Lease and shall
    reasonably diligently pursue such application thereafter. In
    the event Tenant does not receive all necessary governmental
    permits  for  Tenant's desired signage by the date  Landlord
    has received the "Approvals" (as defined in Section 3(a)  of
    the  Construction Provisions), Tenant, at  its  option,  may
    terminate  this Lease by giving written notice to  Landlord.
    If  local laws do not permit the signage that Tenant desires
    to  erect, then Tenant may, at its expense, seek a sign code
    variance  to allow Tenant's signage. Landlord shall  execute
    any documents, forms or applications necessary for Tenant to
    obtain  all necessary zoning approvals, variances or special
    exceptions  for  any and all of Tenant's signage  and  shall
    promptly   execute  all  documents  required  in  connection
    therewith. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to  the
    contrary,  Tenant  shall  be  entitled,  without  Landlord's
    consent,  but  subject  to compliance  with  all  applicable
    governmental  regulations, to replace any  and  all  of  its
    signs  with  signage  consistent with Tenant's  then-current
    prototypical  sign plans. In the event of an  assignment  or
    subletting  as  a  result  of  which  Tenant  is  no  longer
    occupying any portion of the Leased Premises, Tenant's signs
    may   be  replaced  by  signs  identifying  the  appropriate
    assignee or subtenant, provided that the specific design  of
    such  signage shall be subject to Landlord's consent,  which
    consent  shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned  or
    delayed.

     c)  Any  alterations made by Tenant to the Leased  Premises
     shall   hereinafter  be  referred  to  as   the   "Tenant's
     Improvements." Except for Tenant's Personal  Property,  the
     Tenant's  Improvements  that are  permanently  attached  or
     affixed to the Leased Premises shall become the property of
     Landlord upon the expiration of this Lease.

9)  ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASING. Tenant shall have  the  right  to
sublet,  assign,  transfer, reassign and  grant  concessions  or
licenses  (a  "Transfer")  in all or  any  part  of  the  Leased
Premises  and any of Tenant's rights and obligations under  this
Lease,  without  Landlord's consent. In  the  event  of  such  a
Transfer,  Tenant  shall  remain  liable  for  all  of  Tenant's
obligations  to  Landlord  arising  hereunder  (except  for  the
payment  of  Percentage  Rent) so long  as  this  Lease  is  not
changed, modified or amended in any respect by Landlord and  any
transferee. Should Tenant wish to be relieved of its obligations
hereunder  upon  a  Transfer,  Landlord's  prior  consent  to  a
Transfer  shall  be  required,  which  consent  shall   not   be
unreasonably  withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Notwithstanding
the  immediately preceding sentence, in the event  any  assignee
hereunder  or  assignee's guarantor subsequent to an  assignment
has a net worth calculated in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles equal to or greater than the net worth  of
Advance  Stores  Company, Incorporated, as of  the  end  of  the
fiscal year in which the Commencement Date of this Lease occurs,
Landlord's  consent to such assignment shall not  be  necessary,
and  Tenant  shall  thereafter automatically  (and  without  any
action by Landlord) be relieved of any further obligations under
this  Lease.  Landlord acknowledges and agrees  that  Landlord's
conditioning of the granting of its consent upon obtaining (i) a
material amendment or modification to the terms of this Lease or

(ii) monetary compensation, shall be deemed
unreasonable. In the event Tenant shall be reorganized, merged or
consolidated  with  any  other  corporation,  limited   liability
company  or  other  business  entity,  or  shall  sell   all   or
substantially  all  of  its assets, any  resulting  or  surviving
corporation, limited liability company or other business  entity,
or   any  other  person,  which  shall,  as  a  result  of   such
reorganization,  merger,  consolidation  or  sale,   succeed   to
substantially  all of the assets or the business of  Tenant,  and
which  shall  assume  all of the liabilities and  obligations  of
Tenant  under  this Lease, shall automatically  and  without  the
necessity  of further assignment or any other act become  and  be
Tenant under this Lease in accordance with and subject to all  of
the  terms,  provisions and conditions hereof. Tenant shall  give
Landlord notice of any Transfer, such notice to include a copy of
the  original  instrument  evidencing  such  Transfer;  provided,
however,  that Tenant's failure to provide such notice shall  not
be  an  "Event  of  Default" (as hereinafter defined)  by  Tenant
hereunder  or  give Landlord the right to exercise any  right  or
remedy against Tenant hereunder.

10) MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS:

     a)  Subject to Landlord's repair and restoration obligations
     described  in Sections 10(b) and 14 below, Tenant shall,  at
     its cost, during the Term (excluding the Construction Term):

          i)   Maintain, repair and/or replace, in good condition, ordinary
          wear and tear excepted, each and every portion of the Leased
          Premises (including, without limitation, all exterior signs
          related to safety required by law [including handicapped parking
          signs and fire lane signs] and the exterior of the Building)
          except for any items the maintenance, repair or replacement of
          which are Landlord's responsibility hereunder; and

          ii)  Keep the Leased Premises in a reasonably clean and neat
          condition and not permit the accumulation of any trash, rubbish
          or garbage (except as accumulated in containers awaiting
          collection or disposal) in, on or about any part of the Leased
          Premises and arrange for collection or disposal of accumulated
          trash, rubbish and garbage from the Leased Premises.

     b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10(a) above and
     anything contained herein to the contrary, Landlord shall be
     responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for the following
     maintenance,  repairs  and/or  replacements  to  the  Leased
     Premises during the Term:

          i)   any and all maintenance, repairs and/or replacements to the
          slab, foundation and structure of the Leased Premises (including,
          without limitation, repairing any cracks or other damage thereto,
          but specifically excluding painting of the exterior walls unless
          painting is required as a result of Landlord's failure to
          maintain, repair and/or replace the slab, foundation or structure
          as provided herein);

          ii)  any and all maintenance, repairs and/or replacements to the
          parking area of the Leased Premises in the event that Landlord
          fails to deliver the certificate as to the parking area of the
          Leased Premises as required by Section 2(c) of the Construction
          Provisions or fails to construct the parking area in accordance
          with  the  design standards  therefor as required  by  Section
          2(b)  of  the  Construction Provisions;

    iii) any and all maintenance, repairs and/or replacements to the
    roof of the Leased Premises, in the event that Landlord fails to
    deliver the certificates and warranties as to the roof of the
    Leased  Premises required by Section 2(e) of the Construction
    Provisions;

    iv)  any and all maintenance, repairs and/or replacements to the
    heating, ventilation and air-conditioning system of the Leased
    Premises  (the "HVAC"), in the event that Landlord  fails  to
    deliver the certificates as to the HVAC as required by Section
    2(f) of the Construction Provisions;

     v)    any and all maintenance, repairs or replacements which
     become  necessary  as  a  result of  Landlord's  negligence,
     intentional misconduct, or acts or omissions, or the negligence,
     intentional misconduct, or acts or omissions of Landlord's agents
     or contractors; and

     vi)  any and all maintenance, repairs and/or replacements to the
     Leased Premises which (i) are required during the first Lease
     Year of the Term due to the original construction of the Leased
     Premises or (ii) are made necessary by reason of defects in the
     workmanship or materials used in the construction of any portion
     of the Leased Premises (except for any portion of the. Leased
     Premises that was constructed by Tenant) or are due  to  the
     settling of the Leased Premises.

c) With regard to those items which are Landlord's responsibility
under  Section  10(b)  above, if an emergency  situation  occurs,
Tenant  shall make all reasonable efforts to contact Landlord  by
telephone  or facsimile to advise Landlord of the need  for  such
maintenance,  repair or replacement. If after  making  reasonable
efforts  to contact Landlord, either Tenant is unable to  contact
Landlord  or  if  Tenant  succeeds in  contacting  Landlord,  and
Landlord  fails  to  undertake action to  correct  the  emergency
situation within twenty-four (24) hours, Tenant may perform  such
maintenance,  repair  or replacement as Tenant  deems  necessary.
Within   thirty  (30)  days  after  written  notice  from  Tenant
(accompanied  by an invoice or other reasonable evidence  of  the
costs  to  be  reimbursed), Landlord shall pay Tenant  an  amount
equal  to  the actual, out-of-pocket costs incurred by Tenant  in
the  performance of such maintenance, repair and/or  replacement.
If  Landlord fails to pay to Tenant such costs within such thirty
(30)  day period, then Tenant may deduct the amount of such costs
from Basic Rent and any other charges owed by Tenant to Landlord.
For  purposes  of  this  Section 10(c), an "emergency  situation"
means  a condition or state of facts which if not corrected would
result  in further damage to the Leased Premises or its  contents
or personal injury or damage to any other property or which would
in  any  way prevent Tenant from conducting its business  at  the
Leased  Premises in its customary manner. The provisions of  this
Section  10(c)  shall  control over  any  conflicting  provisions
contained in this Lease.
     d)   Landlord shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Tenant
harmless  from all losses, damages, liabilities, costs  and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs)
incurred for work, labor, repairs, alterations, improvements,
services and/or materials supplied to the Leased Premises by or
at the direction of Landlord, or which may occur, result from or
arise out of the failure of Landlord during the Term to make
properly any required repairs or perform any maintenance which is
the responsibility of Landlord under this Lease, except to the
extent that such losses, damages, liabilities, costs and/or
expenses  arise  out  of  Tenant's negligence,  intentional
misconduct, or acts or omissions, or the negligence, intentional
misconduct,  or  acts or omissions of  Tenant's  agents  or
contractors. Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold
Landlord harmless from all losses, damages, liabilities, costs
and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court
costs)  incurred  for  work, labor,  repairs,  alterations,
improvements, services and/or materials supplied to the Leased
Premises by or at the direction of Tenant, or which may occur,
result from or arise out of the failure of Tenant during the Term
to make properly any required repairs or perform any maintenance
which is the responsibility of Tenant under this Lease, except to
the extent that such losses, damages, liabilities, costs and/or
expenses  arise  out of Landlord's negligence,  intentional
misconduct, or acts or omissions, or the negligence, intentional
misconduct,  or acts or omissions of Landlord's  agents  or
contractors.

     e)   Landlord hereby assigns to Tenant all of Landlord's interest
in,  and  rights under (including rights to  enforce),  all
warranties and guaranties received in connection with the Work or
any  other  work, maintenance, repairs and/or  replacements
performed by, or at the direction of, Landlord in, on or at the
Leased Premises; provided, however, that Landlord shall retain
such interest in and rights under such warranties and guaranties
as  are necessary or desirable for Landlord to complete any
maintenance, repairs and/or replacements to the Leased Premises
which (i) are required during the first Lease Year of the Term
due to the original construction of the Leased Premises or (ii)
are made necessary by reason of defects in the workmanship or
materials used in the construction of any portion of the Leased
Premises (except for any portion of the Leased Premises that was
constructed by Tenant) or are due to the settling of the Leased
Premises, as provided in Section 10(b)(vi) above.

     11)  UTILITIES. Tenant agrees to pay the charges and all required
     deposits for all utility services furnished to and used by Tenant
     in the Leased Premises during the Term directly to the utility
     companies providing such services, excluding any and all
     connection fees, hook-up charges, impact fees and other similar
     costs related to the initial start-up expenses for providing such
     services to the Leased Premises, all of which costs and expenses
     shall be paid by Landlord. Subject to applicable law, Tenant
     shall be entitled to select the utility service provider which
     shall provide water, electric, gas, cable and telecommunication
     services to the Leased Premises.

     12)  INSURANCE; INDEMNIFICATION.

     a)  During the Term (excluding the Construction  Term),
     Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, obtain  and
     maintain   property  insurance  covering   the   Leased
     Premises   in  an  amount  not  less  than   the   full
     replacement cost thereof, with such deductibles and
retentions as determined by Tenant in its sole and absolute
discretion. Such insurance shall be provided by companies
authorized to do business in the State.

b)    During  the Term (excluding the Construction  Term)  Tenant
shall  maintain with respect to the Leased Premises a  policy  of
commercial  general  liability insurance, which  insurance  shall
stipulate  limits of liability of not less than  $2,000,000  each
occurrence,  single  limit bodily injury and/or  property  damage
combined  (with such deductibles and retentions as determined  by
Tenant  in  its  sole  and  absolute discretion),  and  shall  be
provided by companies authorized to do business in the State.

c)    Tenant  shall,  within fifteen (15) days after  receipt  of
written  request therefor by Landlord, provide Landlord with  (i)
evidence  of  such property insurance and (ii) a  certificate  of
such commercial general liability insurance, each naming Landlord
and  Landlord's Mortgagee as additional insureds or loss  payees,
as  applicable, and providing that the applicable coverage  shall
not be cancelled without thirty (30) days notice to the holder of
such evidence or certificate, as applicable.

d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained  herein,
Tenant  shall have the right to self-insure against  any  of  the
risks  or portions thereof set forth in this Section 12, provided
Tenant  then  has a reported net worth (calculated in  accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles), as of the end  of
Tenant's most recent quarterly reporting period, of not less than
One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000).

e)    Landlord shall maintain with respect to the Leased Premises
a   policy  of  commercial  general  liability  insurance,  which
insurance  shall stipulate limits of liability of not  less  than
$2,000,000  each  occurrence, single limit bodily  injury  and/or
property  damage  combined, and shall be  provided  by  companies
authorized  to  do  business  in  the  State.  Such  policies  of
insurance  shall  name Tenant as an additional insured.  Landlord
shall,  within  a  reasonable period of  time  after  receipt  of
written request therefor by Tenant, provide a certificate of such
commercial  general liability insurance evidencing Tenant  as  an
additional  insured  on  such  policy  and  providing  that   the
applicable  coverage shall not be cancelled or  modified  without
thirty (30) days notice to the holder of such certificate.

f)    During any period in which Landlord or Tenant is conducting
construction  activities at, in or on the Leased  Premises,  such
party  shall  keep, or cause its general contractor to  keep,  in
full  force  and effect, with regard to the Leased  Premises,  in
form  reasonably  acceptable to the other  party,  at  least  the
minimum insurance coverages set forth below:

     i)   Worker's Compensation - Statutory Limits; Employers
     Liability -$2,000,000;

     ii)  Automobile Liability for all vehicles with limits of
     $1,000,000; and

    iii) Commercial General Liability to include premises
    operations and products/completed operations coverage with
    limits of $3,000,000.

    Additionally,  such party shall keep or require  its  general
contractor to keep in full force and effect a policy of builder's
risk insurance covering loss or damage to the Leased Premises for
the  full  replacement  cost  of all such  construction.  To  the
fullest  extent  the other party has an insurable interest,  such
liability  policy  shall name the other party  as  an  additional
insured and such builder's risk policy shall name the other party
as a loss payee.

g)    Any  insurance  coverage enumerated in this  Lease  may  be
effected by a blanket policy or policies of insurance or under so-
called  "multi-peril" or "package" insurance  policies,  provided
that the total amount of insurance available with respect to  the
Leased  Premises  and Tenant's or Landlord's liability  hereunder
shall  be  at  least the equivalent of separate policies  in  the
amounts  herein  required, and provided  further  that  in  other
respects  any  such  policy or policies  shall  comply  with  the
provisions of this Lease. Landlord shall not be entitled to self-
insure  any  of  the  insurance  coverages  recited  herein.   An
"umbrella" policy may be provided and utilized by either party to
increase the limit provided by any individual or blanket policies
in  lower  amounts,  and  the combined occurrence  and  aggregate
limits  provided by all such policies with respect to the  Leased
Premises and Tenant's or Landlord's liability hereunder shall  be
satisfactory  provided  that the terms  and  conditions  of  such
policies otherwise comply with the provisions of this Lease.

h)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained  herein,
Landlord  and Tenant hereby release each other, to the extent  of
their  agreed-upon insurance coverage, from any and all liability
for  any  loss  or  damage caused by fire or any  other  casualty
insured  against,  even if such fire or other casualty  shall  be
brought  about by the fault or negligence of the other party,  or
any persons claiming under such other party.

     i)    Landlord hereby agrees to exonerate, protect,  defend,
     indemnify  and  hold  Tenant and  its  officers,  directors,
     stockholders, members, beneficiaries, partners, representatives,
     agents  and employees harmless from and against any and  all
     losses, damages, claims, suits or actions, judgments and costs
     (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of any injury
     to or death of persons or damage to property on or about the
     Leased Premises caused by the intentional or negligent acts or
     omissions of Landlord or its employees, agents or contractors.
     Tenant agrees to exonerate, protect, defend, indemnify and hold
     Landlord and its officers, directors, stockholders, members,
     beneficiaries, partners, representatives, agents and employees
     harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, claims,
     suits  or actions, judgments and costs (including reasonably
     attorneys' fees) arising out of any injury to or death of persons
     or damage to property on or about the Leased Premises caused by
     the intentional or negligent acts or omissions of Tenant or its
     employees, agents or contractors.

13) REAL ESTATE TAXES.

     a)   Commencing on the Rent Commencement Date, during the Term,
     Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all "Real Estate Taxes" (as
     hereinafter defined). If the Rent Commencement Date occurs or the
     Term terminates during any part of a calendar year, Tenant shall
     be responsible for such Real Estate Taxes for only that portion
     of the calendar year for which Tenant is responsible to pay Basic
     Rent  hereunder.  However, the amount of Real  Estate  Taxes
     attributable  to the Leased Premises for which Tenant  shall
     reimburse  Landlord  in part shall be less  any  abatements,
     discounts or refunds thereon. In paying such Real Estate Taxes,
     Landlord agrees to take full advantage of any and all available
     discounts, and Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any portion
     of any penalty or interest for delinquent payment, nor shall
     Tenant be obligated to pay any portion of sums owed by Landlord
     due to failure of Landlord to take advantage of any discount.
     Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such Real Estate Taxes within
     thirty (30) days of receipt from Landlord of a receipted tax bill
     (or  in  the alternative copy of the tax bill and a copy  of
     Landlord's check to the appropriate governmental  agency  or
     authority) evidencing Landlord's payment thereof to the taxing
     authority.

     b)   Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant's sole expense, to
     contest the amount or validity, or otherwise seek an exemption or
     abatement, of any Real Estate Taxes or to seek a reduction in the
     valuation of the Leased Premises assessed for purposes of Real
     Estate Taxes by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted in
     good faith, provided that (i) Tenant shall first have notified
     Landlord in writing of its intent to do so and (ii) such contest
     will not result in the foreclosure, loss or forfeiture of the
     Leased Premises, or any portion thereof In any instance where any
     such action or proceeding is being undertaken by Tenant, Landlord
     shall  (i) cooperate with Tenant, (ii) execute any  and  all
     documents required in connection therewith and (iii) if required
     by any law, rule or regulation of the taxing authority, shall
     join with Tenant in the prosecution thereof Upon the termination
     of the proceedings set forth above (unless the taxing authority
     requires that Real Estate Taxes be paid under protest prior to
     commencement  of  such proceedings), Tenant  shall  pay  the
     applicable Real Estate Taxes as finally determined  in  such
     proceedings, the payment or partial payment of which may have
     been deferred during the prosecution of such proceedings. Tenant
     shall be entitled to a refund of any overpayment of Real Estate
     Taxes relating or allocable to the Leased Premises, as well as a
     reimbursement from the appropriate taxing authority of all costs,
     fees and expenses it incurs in such protest or reassessment.

     c)   For purposes of this Lease, the term "Real Estate Taxes"
     shall mean all general real estate taxes and assessments and
     other  ad valorem taxes, rates and levies paid upon or  with
     respect to the Leased Premises for a calendar year or a portion
     thereof to any governmental agency or authority and all charges
     specifically imposed in lieu of any such taxes, but specifically
     excluding "roll-back" taxes or other similar land use charges.
     Nothing contained in this Lease shall require Tenant to pay any
     local, county, municipal, state or federal income, franchise,
     corporate,  estate, inheritance, succession,  capital  levy,
     business or transfer tax of Landlord, or any local,  county,
     municipal, state or federal
    income, profits, gross receipts, sales or renewal tax or
    charge upon the rent or other charges payable by Tenant
    under this Lease.

    d)  Landlord  and  Tenant  understand  and  acknowledge  that
    certain  credits,  exemptions, refunds or abatements  against
    tax  obligations  of  Tenant and/or  Landlord,  whether  with
    respect to Real Estate Taxes, personal property taxes,  sales
    taxes,   use  taxes,  gross  receipts  taxes,  income  taxes,
    payroll   taxes,   value   added   taxes   or   other   taxes
    (collectively,   "tax  benefits"),  as  well   as   incentive
    payments  or credits directly or indirectly from governmental
    authorities ("incentive payments") may become available as  a
    result  of  the  construction, use, occupancy or  conduct  of
    Tenant's business at the Leased Premises, or the decision  of
    Tenant  to establish and/or operate a business at the  Leased
    Premises.  The full amount of such tax benefits and incentive
    payments  shall be the property of Tenant. In the event  that
    any  such  tax  benefit  or incentive  payment  is  paid  to,
    accrues  to  the  benefit  of, or is  otherwise  received  by
    Landlord, at Tenant's option:

          i)   Landlord shall immediately account for and pay over the full
          amount of such tax benefit or incentive payment to Tenant; or

          ii)  Tenant may offset the full amount of such tax benefit or
          incentive payment against Basic Rent, Percentage Rent and any
          other charges payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder.

    Landlord   shall  cooperate  with  Tenant  and  execute   any
    documents, forms, or applications as reasonably requested  by
    Tenant  in order to enable Tenant to obtain any tax  benefits
    or incentive payments directly available to Tenant.

14) DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.

    a)  If,  during  the  Term, a fire or  other  casualty  shall
    render  the  whole  or  any portion of  the  Leased  Premises
    untenantable,  in Tenant's reasonable judgment,  and  if,  in
    Tenant's   reasonable  judgment,  the  Leased  Premises   can
    reasonably  be  expected to be restored to substantially  the
    same  condition existing immediately prior to  such  casualty
    within  one hundred eighty (180) days from the date  of  such
    casualty,  Landlord  shall  repair  and  restore  the  Leased
    Premises   to  substantially  the  same  condition   existing
    immediately  prior to such casualty within such  one  hundred
    eighty  (180) day period (subject to any delays caused  by  a
    "Force  Majeure  Event"  [as hereinafter  defined]).  In  the
    event  that  Landlord  timely completes  such  repair  and/or
    restoration,  this  Lease  shall remain  in  full  force  and
    effect.  During  the period during which such  repair  and/or
    restoration  is  being  performed,  rent  otherwise   payable
    hereunder shall abate in the proportion that the area of  the
    Leased  Premises rendered untenantable bears  to  the  entire
    area  of  the  Leased Premises until the Leased  Premises  is
    completely   restored,   repaired,   or   replaced   to   the
    satisfaction  of  Tenant; provided,  however,  that  no  rent
    shall  be  payable  for any portion of  the  Leased  Premises
    unless  Tenant is able to conduct its usual business on  that
    portion  of  the Leased Premises that remains tenantable.  In
    the  event  that  Landlord shall undertake  to  perform  such
    repair and restoration of the Leased Premises, Tenant
    shall, prior to Landlord commencing such repair and restoration,
    provide Landlord with

(i) all insurance proceeds and (ii) the amount of the difference
between the insurance proceeds and the full replacement cost of
the Leased Premises.

     b)   If, during the Term, a fire or other casualty shall render
     the whole or any portion of the Leased Premises untenantable, in
     Tenant's reasonable judgment, and if, in Tenant's reasonable
     judgment, the Leased Premises cannot reasonably be expected to be
     repaired and restored within one hundred eighty (180) days from
     the date of such casualty, then Tenant may, by written notice to
     Landlord sent within sixty (60) days from the date  of  such
     casualty, terminate this Lease, which termination  shall  be
     effective as of the date of such casualty.

          c)   If any such fire or other casualty which renders the whole
          or any portion of the Leased Premises untenantable occurs during
          the final Lease Year of the Initial Term or of any Option Period,
          Tenant may, within thirty (30) days after the date of such
          casualty, give written notice to Landlord of Tenant's intention
          to extend the Term pursuant to the next applicable Renewal Option
          provided for in Section 3 of this Lease, in which event Landlord
          shall be obligated to repair and/or restore the Leased Premises
          as provided in this Section 14. In the event Tenant shall not so
          elect to extend the Term, both Landlord and Tenant shall each
          have the option to terminate this Lease by written notice from
          the terminating party to the other party given within sixty (60)
          days after the date of such casualty and, in such event, this
          Lease shall terminate as of the date of such casualty.

          d)   If this Lease is terminated pursuant to this Section 14,
          Landlord shall promptly pay to Tenant any prepaid but unearned
          Basic Rent and other charges paid by Tenant, or Tenant shall
          promptly pay to Landlord any Basic Rent and other charges earned
          and unpaid, and Landlord shall have the right to (i) the amount
          of all insurance proceeds and

(ii) the amount of the difference between the insurance proceeds
and the full replacement cost of the Leased Premises.

          e)   If, during the Term, a fire or other casualty shall damage
          or destroy any portion of the Leased Premises but shall not
          render the Leased Premises untenantable, in Tenant's reasonable
          judgment, Tenant shall repair all such damage or destruction
          except to the extent fire or other casualty damages or destroys
          any structural elements of the Leased Premises (as set forth in
          Section 10(b)). Landlord shall repair any damage or destruction
          to the structural elements of the Leased Premises (as set forth
          in Section 10(b)) within sixty (60) days from the date of such
          casualty; Tenant shall provide Landlord with (i) all insurance
          proceeds associated with such damage or destruction of the
          structural elements of the Leased Premises and (ii) the amount of
          the difference between the insurance proceeds and the cost to
          repair any such damage or destruction of the structural elements
          of the Leased Premises.

          f)   If Landlord is required to repair and restore the Leased
          Premises pursuant to this Section 14, the applicable provisions
          of Section 2 above and the Construction Provisions shall apply
          with respect to Landlord's construction work related to such
          repair or restoration. However, if the nature of the damage is
          such that it would be impractical to
    apply some or all of the provisions of Section 2 and  the
Construction  Provisions to Landlord's construction  work  as
mutually  and reasonably determined by Landlord  and  Tenant,
then  Landlord  and  Tenant shall  agree  on  an  alternative
provision  or provisions which shall be incorporated  into  a
written agreement executed by both Landlord and Tenant.

15) CONDEMNATION.

    a)   If the whole of the Leased Premises shall be acquired or
    taken by eminent domain, condemnation or private purchase under
    threat thereof or in lieu thereof, including, without limitation,
    the physical occupation of the Leased Premises or any portion
    thereof or the filing of eminent domain or condemnation papers by
    appropriate authorities (a "Taking"), then this Lease and the
    Term shall automatically cease and terminate as of the date on
    which the condemning authority or private purchaser shall have
    the right to possession of the Leased Premises or any portion
    thereof (the "Taking Date").

    b)   If any part of the Leased Premises shall be so taken and
    such partial Taking shall render that portion not so taken
    unsuitable, as determined by Tenant in its reasonable discretion,
    for the purposes for which the Leased Premises were leased, or if
    any access, curb cut or other access point on or to the Leased
    Premises is modified in a manner which adversely and materially
    affects Tenant's business or is lost as a result of any Taking,
    then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by
    written notice sent to Landlord within twelve (12) months after
    the Taking Date. If any part of the Leased Premises shall be so
    taken and this Lease shall not be so terminated, then this Lease
    shall continue in full force and effect except that the Basic
    Rent and all other charges payable by Tenant shall be reduced in
    the same proportion that the gross leasable area of the portion
    of the Leased Premises that has been taken bears to the total
    gross leasable area of the entire Leased Premises and Landlord
    shall, within thirty (30) after the Taking Date, commence to make
    all necessary repairs and alterations to restore the untaken
    portion of the Leased Premises to as near its former condition as
    practicable such that the untaken portion of the Building will be
    a complete architectural unit. In its performance of such repair
    and/or restoration work pursuant to this Section 15,  the
    applicable provisions of Section 2 above and the Construction
    Provisions shall apply with respect to Landlord's construction
    work related to such repair or restoration. However, if the
    nature of the damage is such that it would be impractical to
    apply some or all of the provisions of Section 2 and  the
    Construction Provisions to Landlord's construction work as
    mutually and reasonably determined by Landlord and Tenant, then
    Landlord and Tenant shall agree on an alternative provision or
    provisions which shall be incorporated into a written agreement
    executed by both Landlord and Tenant.

    c)   If this Lease is terminated as provided in this Section 15,
     Landlord shall promptly pay to Tenant any prepaid but unearned
     Basic Rent and other charges, or Tenant shall promptly pay to
     Landlord any Basic Rent and other charges earned and unpaid.
    d)   In the event of a Taking, whether permanent or temporary, of
    any pylon or monument sign (as contemplated by Section 8(b)
    above) on which Tenant has installed identification panels,
    Tenant shall provide a substitute site (reasonably acceptable to
    Tenant) therefor, within a reasonable period of time after such
    Taking.  If Landlord shall receive compensation from  the
    condemning authority for such Taking of any such sign, Landlord
    shall pay said compensation to Tenant within fifteen (15) days
    after Landlord's receipt thereof.

    e)   In the event of a Taking as described in this Section 15,
    Tenant  shall be entitled to claim compensation from  the
    condemning authority for (i) the value of its leasehold estate in
    the Leased Premises and (ii) damages occurring by reason of the
    Taking, including but not limited to loss of good will or future
    profits or in respect of Tenant's Personal Property, the cost or
    expense for the repair and removal of such Personal Property,
    moving or relocation expenses, and any other items to which
    Tenant may be entitled under applicable law.

16) TENANT'S DEFAULT:

     a)   The following shall constitute an event of default by
     Tenant hereunder (an "Event of Tenant Default");

         i)   Tenant's failure to make any payment of money required by
          this Lease (including, without limitation, Basic Rent, Percentage
          Rent, or Real Estate Taxes) (subject to Tenant's right of good
          faith contest), within ten (10) days after Tenant's receipt of
          written notice from Landlord to Tenant that same is overdue;
          Or

         ii)  Tenant's failure to observe or perform any other material
          provision of this Lease within thirty (30) days after Tenant's
          receipt of written notice from Landlord to Tenant specifying such
          default and demanding that the same be cured; provided that if
          such default cannot with due diligence be wholly cured within
          such thirty (30) day period, Tenant shall have such longer period
          as is reasonably necessary to cure the default, so long as Tenant
          proceeds promptly to commence the cure of same within such thirty
          (30) day period and diligently prosecutes the cure to completion.

     b)    Upon the occurrence of an Event of Tenant Default, at
     Landlord's  option,  in  addition  to  any  and  all  other
     remedies which it may have at law and/or in equity  (except
     as provided below), and without its actions being deemed an
     election  of  remedies  or  a  cure  of  Tenant's  default,
     Landlord  may (a) terminate this Lease or (b) re-enter  the
     Leased  Premises by judicial proceeding, expel  Tenant  and
     remove all property from the Leased Premises, and relet the
     Leased  Premises at the best possible rent  obtainable  and
     receive  the  rent therefrom. In the event Landlord  relets
     the Leased Premises, all rentals received by Landlord shall
     be applied, first, to the payment of any indebtedness other
     than Basic Rent and other charges due hereunder from Tenant
     to  Landlord;  second,  to the payment  of  any  costs  and
     expenses of such reletting, excluding tenant upfit costs;
    third,  to  the payment of Basic Rent and other  charges  due
    and  unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held
    by  Landlord and applied in payment of any future Basic  Rent
    and/or  other charges due and unpaid hereunder. Tenant  shall
    remain  liable  to  Landlord  for  the  deficiency,  if  any,
    between  the  Basic  Rent and all other charges  (except  for
    Percentage  Rent) payable by Tenant pursuant  to  this  Lease
    and  the rent and all other charges payable by the new tenant
    pursuant  to the new lease obtained by Landlord on reletting.
    In  the  event  this  Lease shall be terminated  as  provided
    above, Landlord, its agents, servants or representatives  may
    immediately or at any time thereafter peaceably re-enter  and
    resume  possession  of  the Leased Premises  and  remove  all
    persons  and  property  therefrom, by  summary  dispossession
    proceedings.  The  various rights and  remedies  reserved  to
    Landlord  herein are cumulative, and Landlord may pursue  any
    and  all  such rights and remedies, whether at the same  time
    or  otherwise  (to the extent not inconsistent with  specific
    provisions of this Lease); provided that Landlord shall  have
    the  duty  in  any  instance  to mitigate  its  damages  with
    respect  to  any  Event  of  Tenant Default.  Notwithstanding
    anything  herein  to  the  contrary, (i)  Landlord  expressly
    waives  its  right  to forcibly dispossess  Tenant  from  the
    Leased  Premises,  whether peaceably  or  otherwise,  without
    judicial  process, such that Landlord shall not  be  entitled
    to  any  "commercial  lockout" or  any  other  provisions  of
    applicable  law which permit landlords to dispossess  tenants
    from  commercial properties without the benefit  of  judicial
    review and (ii) Landlord shall in no event have any right  to
    accelerate  the  Basic Rent or any other charges  payable  by
    Tenant hereunder.

17) LANDLORD'S DEFAULT.

    a)   The following shall constitute an event of default by
    Landlord hereunder (an "Event of Landlord Default"):

          (i)  Landlord's failure to make any payments of money due Tenant
          or any third party, including but not limited to the payment of
          the brokerage commissions pursuant to Section 28(s) below, within
          ten (10) days after the receipt of written notice from Tenant
          that same is overdue; or

          (ii) Landlord's failure to perform any nonmonetary obligation of
          Landlord hereunder within thirty (30) days after receipt of
          written notice from Tenant to Landlord specifying such default
          and demanding that the same be cured; provided that, if such
          default cannot with due diligence be wholly cured within such
          thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall have such longer period as
          may be reasonably necessary to cure the default, so long as
          Landlord proceeds promptly to commence the cure of same within
          such thirty (30) day period and diligently prosecutes the cure to
          completion and provided further that in the case of an emergency,
          Tenant shall be required to give only such notice as is
          reasonable under the circumstances.

    b)   Upon the occurrence of an Event of Landlord Default, at
    Tenant's option, in addition to any and all other remedies
    which it may have at law and/or in equity, and
    without its actions being deemed an election of remedies or
    a cure of Landlord's default, Tenant may do all or any of
    the following:

         (i)  pay or perform such obligations and offset Tenant's actual
         cost of performance, including any and all transaction costs and
         attorneys' fees, against the Basic Rent, Percentage Rent, and any
         and all other amounts and charges due Landlord hereunder; or

         (ii) withhold Basic Rent, Percentage Rent, and any other payments
         due to Landlord under this Lease until such Event of Landlord
         Default, transaction costs and attorneys' fees specified in
         subsection (i) above, is cured by Landlord; or

          (iii)     terminate this Lease and/or sue for damages, including
          transaction costs and attorneys' fees specified in subsection (i)
          above.

         With  respect to a breach by Landlord of the  provisions
     of  Section  18  below,  Tenant shall  be  entitled  to  any
     remedies  provided  therein, in addition to  those  remedies
     provided herein.

         The  various  rights  and remedies  reserved  to  Tenant
     herein  are  cumulative, and Tenant may pursue any  and  all
     rights  and remedies, whether at the same time or otherwise.
     Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  a  delay  by   Tenant   in
     exercising its cure rights or other remedies hereunder shall
     not  be  deemed  a  Force  Majeure  Event  for  purposes  of
     extending   the  date(s)  established  for  performance   by
     Landlord.

     c) Any offset made by Tenant against Basic Rent or any other
     charges  otherwise due by Tenant hereunder shall be  without
     liability  to  Tenant,  shall not constitute  a  default  on
     behalf  of  Tenant and shall not affect any other rights  or
     remedies  Tenant may have against Landlord  for  failure  to
     comply with the provisions herein.

18) NON-COMPETITION.

     a)  Neither  Landlord nor any stockholder, member,  partner,
     beneficiary,  successor,  assign,  personal  representative,
     heir, subsidiary or affiliate of Landlord, nor any person(s)
     or  entity(ies)  having  a direct or  indirect  interest  in
     Landlord, shall, for as long as this Lease remains in  force
     and  effect, either directly or indirectly, own,  occupy  or
     operate, or sell, lease or otherwise transfer to any  person
     or  entity,  or permit any person or entity to  occupy,  any
     land,  building, premises or space, whether presently  owned
     or  hereafter acquired, located within two (2) miles of  the
     Leased Premises for the purpose of (i) conducting thereon  a
     business  similar to that being conducted by Tenant  on  the
     Leased  Premises  or (ii) the sales, display  or  rental  of
     automotive  parts, accessories, supplies and/or  maintenance
     items.  In  addition, neither Landlord nor any  stockholder,
     member,  partner,  beneficiary, successor, assign,  personal
     representative, heir, subsidiary or affiliate  of  Landlord,
     nor any person(s) or entity(ies) having a direct or indirect
     interest   in  Landlord,  shall  lease,  sell  or  otherwise
     transfer  or  convey  any such premises adjacent  to  and/or
     contiguous with the Leased Premises without imposing thereon
     a restriction to
    secure compliance herewith, or permit any tenant or occupant
    of any such premises or any part thereof to sublet or assign
    in  any manner, directly or indirectly, any part thereof  to
    any person, firm, corporation or other entity engaged in any
    such  business  described above, without the  prior  written
    consent  of Tenant, which consent may be withheld by  Tenant
    in Tenant's sole discretion.

    b)  Tenant shall, in the event that there is a breach of any
    of  the  provisions of this Section 18, have  the  following
    rights and remedies, none of which shall be exclusive of the
    other  remedies or any other remedy otherwise  available  to
    Tenant:

         i)   Tenant may institute proceedings to enjoin the violation;

         ii)  If such breach continues for a period of thirty (30) days
         after written notice thereof shall have been given by Tenant to
         Landlord, Tenant may, at any time thereafter, elect to terminate
         this Lease and, on such election, this Lease shall, on the date
         stated in the notice of such election, be terminated, and Tenant
         shall be released and discharged of and from any and all further
         liability hereunder;

         iii) As long as any such breach continues, Tenant's only
          obligation with respect to the payment of rent or any other
          charge payable under this Lease shall be the payment of
          Percentage Rent only, in accordance with the terms and conditions
          of Section 5(b) above, with no payment of Basic Rent or any other
          charge payable under this Lease.

          iv)  Landlord shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Tenant
          harmless from all losses, damages, liabilities, costs and
          expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
          fees and court costs) sustained or incurred in connection with
          any proceedings instituted by Tenant as a result of any such
          breach.

19) ENVIRONMENTAL:

    a)  As  used herein, the term "Hazardous Substance" includes
    petroleum,  natural  or  synthetic  gas  products  and   any
    hazardous, toxic or dangerous waste, pollutant, contaminant,
    substance  or  material  defined as  such  in,  or  for  the
    purposes   of,  the  "Environmental  Laws"  (as  hereinafter
    defined).  For  the  purposes  of  this  Lease,   the   term
    "Environmental  Laws"  means any  environmental,  health  or
    safety  law, rule, regulation, ordinance, order  or  decree,
    including,    without    limitation,    the    Comprehensive
    Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability  Act,  as
    amended,  the  Resource Conservation and  Recovery  Act,  as
    amended,  any "Superfund" or "Super Lien" law or  any  other
    federal,  state,  county or local statute,  law,  ordinance,
    code, rule, regulation, order or decree regulating, relating
    to  or imposing liability or standards of conduct concerning
    any  petroleum,  natural or synthetic  gas  products  and/or
    hazardous,   toxic   or   dangerous   waste   pollutant   or
    contaminant, substance or material as may now  or  any  time
    hereinafter be in effect.
    Landlord represents, warrants and covenants that:

    (i)  to the best of Landlord's knowledge and belief, the Leased
    Premises is in compliance with all Environmental Laws and  no
    Hazardous Substances have been released or threatened  to  be
    released  upon, in, at, around or under the Land or  off-site
    locations  within one (1) mile of the Land  that  are  owned,
    operated  or controlled by Landlord or any party  related  to
    Landlord to any degree, except as disclosed in the Phase I Report
    (as defined in Section 19(c));

    (ii) to the best of Landlord's knowledge and belief, there is not
    now, pending or threatened, any action, suit, investigation or
    proceeding against Landlord or the Land, or against any other
    property relating to the Land, seeking to enforce a right  or
    remedy under common law or under any of the Environmental Laws;

    (iii)     Landlord has, to the best of Landlord's knowledge and
    belief,  complied with and will continue to comply  with  all
    applicable Environmental Laws relating to or affecting the Leased
    Premises  including, without limitation, Landlord's  business
    operations upon or off the Leased Premises (including, without
    limitation,  all  Environmental  Laws  with  respect  to  the
    registration, testing and upgrading of underground  or  above
    ground storage tanks);

    (iv) Landlord has not, to the best of Landlord's knowledge and
    belief, and will not engage in any activities that constitute
    spilling, leaking, emitting, discharging, injecting, dumping or
    disposing of any Hazardous Substances into the environment on,
    above, below or surrounding the Leased Premises;

    (v)  to the best of Landlord's knowledge and belief, there is no
    asbestos-containing material on the Leased Premises;

    (vi)  Landlord  has, to the best of Landlord's knowledge  and
    belief, obtained, and will at all times continue to obtain and
    maintain, all required environmental licenses and permits under
    the Environmental Laws that are necessary for the ownership of
    the Leased Premises (the "Environmental Permits"), and Landlord
    has, to the best of Landlord's knowledge and belief, complied
    with and will comply with all other governmental or regulatory
    requirements necessary to comply with the Environmental Laws.
    Landlord is, to the best of Landlord's knowledge and belief, in
    full  compliance  with  the  terms  and  provisions  of   the
    Environmental Permits and will continue to comply with the terms
    and provisions of the Environmental Permits; and

    (vii)     to the best of Landlord's knowledge and belief, there
    are  no Hazardous Substances located on, in, at or under  the
    Leased Premises that exceed action levels.

    Landlord agrees to indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from
any and all claims, damages, fines, judgments, penalties, costs,
liabilities or losses (including, without
limitation,  any  and  all sums paid for  settlement  of  claims,
attorneys'  fees, consultants' fees, and expert fees) arising  at
any  time from or in connection with (i) the presence or release,
or  suspected  presence  or release, of Hazardous  Substances  or
asbestos-containing  materials at, in or on the  Leased  Premises
unless  the Hazardous Substances or asbestos-containing materials
are  present  solely as a result of the breach by Tenant  of  the
provisions  of Section 19(d) below or (ii) the violation  of  any
Environmental  Laws  unless such violation is  due  solely  as  a
result of the breach by Tenant of the provisions of Section 19(d)
below.  Without limiting the foregoing, this indemnification  (i)
shall include any and all costs incurred due to any investigation
of  the  Leased Premises or any cleanup, removal, or  restoration
mandated   by  any  governmental  authorities  and   (ii)   shall
specifically   include  any  and  all  costs  due  to   Hazardous
Substances that flow, diffuse, migrate, or percolate into,  onto,
or under the Leased Premises.

    c)   Tenant's obligations under this Lease are conditioned upon
    (i) the Land being in compliance with all Environmental Laws and
    (ii) the Land being free from any and all Hazardous Substances.
    In  order  to  determine preliminarily such  compliance  with
    Environmental Laws and the lack of Hazardous Substances, Landlord
    shall within thirty (30) days of the date of this Lease obtain
    and provide Tenant with a copy of a Phase I environmental report
    (the "Phase I Report") to be prepared at Landlord's sole cost and
    expense.  In  the event the Phase I Report reflects  (i)  any
    potential non-compliance with Environmental Laws and/or (ii) the
    potential existence of Hazardous Substances on or under the Land,
    and the Phase I Report recommends further study, Landlord shall,
    within thirty (30) days of the date of the Phase I Report, order
    a  Phase II environmental report (the "Phase II Report"  and,
    together with the Phase I Report, the "Environmental Reports") to
    be  prepared  at its sole cost and expense. The Environmental
    Reports  shall be prepared by a qualified environmental  firm
    reasonably  acceptable to Tenant and shall be  addressed  and
    certified to both Landlord and Tenant such that both Landlord and
    Tenant  shall be entitled to rely thereon. In the  event  the
    Environmental  Reports reflect that (i) the Land  is  not  in
    compliance with the Environmental Laws and/or (ii) the Land is
    not free from any and all Hazardous Substances, this Lease shall
    be null and void on the later of the thirtieth (30th) day after
    Tenant receives a copy of the most recent of the Environmental
    Reports or the thirtieth (30th day) after the Commencement Date
    unless   (i)  Tenant  expressly  waives,  in  writing,   such
    nullification or (ii) Landlord elects, by written notice given to
    Tenant prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, to
    have  the  non-compliance condition and/or  the  presence  of
    Hazardous Substances remediated. If Landlord elects to undertake
    any  such remediation, Landlord shall diligently perform such
    remediation and this Lease shall remain in effect for a period of
    one hundred and twenty (120) days subsequent to the thirty (30)
    day period described in the previous sentence (the "Remediation
    Period") to permit such remediation, but if such remediation has
    not been completed by the end of the Remediation Period, this
    Lease  may  be  terminated by Tenant upon written  notice  to
    Landlord.

    d)   Tenant covenants that, during the period of its possession
    of the Leased Premises, Tenant and its employees shall comply
    with all Environmental Laws that are applicable to Tenant's use
    of  the Leased Premises. Tenant agrees to indemnify and  hold
    Landlord  harmless from any and all claims,  damages,  fines,
    judgments, penalties, costs, liabilities,
     or  losses (including, without limitation, any and all
     sums  paid for settlement of claims, attorneys'  fees,
     consultants'  fees, and expert fees)  arising  at  any
     time  solely  as a result of the violation  by  Tenant
     and/or   its  employees  of  the  foregoing  covenant.
     Without    limitation   of   the    foregoing,    this
     indemnification  shall  include  any  and  all   costs
     incurred by Landlord due to any investigation  of  the
     Leased   Premises   or   any  cleanup,   removal,   or
     restoration mandated by any governmental authorities.

20) SUBORDINATION; ESTOPPELS.

     a)   Simultaneously with the execution hereof, Landlord shall
     deliver to Tenant, with regard to any and all "Ground Leases" (as
     hereinafter defined) and any and all "Mortgages" (as hereinafter
     defined) encumbering the Leased Premises as of the Commencement
     Date of this Lease, a subordination, non-disturbance and
     attornment agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "C",
     executed by the lessor under any such Ground Lease ("Ground
     Lessor") or the holder of such Mortgage ("Mortgagee"), as
     applicable. Tenant shall have no obligation to pay Basic Rent or
     other charges hereunder until such subordination, non-disturbance
     and attornment agreement(s) are delivered to Tenant, whereupon
     Tenant shall pay all accrued Basic Rent and other charges due
     hereunder at the time of such delivery. In addition, throughout
     the Term, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a subordination, non-
     disturbance and attomment agreement in the form attached hereto
     as Exhibit "C" executed by any Ground Lessor or Mortgagee (as
     applicable) with regard to all future Ground Leases and Mortgages
     and with regard to all renewals, modifications, replacements and
     extensions of such Ground Leases or Mortgages. Upon Tenant's
     receipt of the executed subordination, non-disturbance and
     attornment agreement, this Lease shall be subordinate to the
     corresponding Ground Lease or Mortgage. Landlord shall cause any
     present or future Mortgagee to deliver a subordination, non-
     disturbance and attornment agreement in accordance with this
     Section 20(a) at or prior to the time which the lien of the
     Mortgage is filed against record title to the Leased Premises. As
     used in this Lease, the term "Mortgage" shall mean any mortgage,
     deed to secure debt, deed of trust, trust deed or other
     collateral conveyance of, or lien or encumbrance against, all or
     any portion of the Leased Premises, and the term "Ground Lease"
     shall mean any ground lease or master lease affecting all or any
     portion of the Leased Premises.

     b)   Tenant shall, at all reasonable times, upon at least thirty
     (30) days' prior written notice from Landlord, provide Landlord
     with an estoppel certificate in the form attached hereto as
     Exhibit "E."

     c)   No Personal Property of Tenant shall be subject to mortgage
     liens of Landlord.

21)  TENANT'S PROPERTY AND WAIVER OF LANDLORD'S LIEN. All  of
Tenant's  Personal Property, except that which is permanently
attached,  and  inventory shall be and  remain  the  personal
property of Tenant and shall be removable by Tenant any  time
prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
Notwithstanding  anything contained herein to  the  contrary,
Landlord  expressly  waives  its  statutory  or  common   law
landlord's  liens (as same may be enacted or may  exist  from
time  to  time)  and  any and all rights  granted  under  any
present  or future laws to levy or distrain for rent (whether
in arrears or in advance) against the Personal
Property   and  further  agrees  to  execute  any  reasonable
instruments  evidencing such waiver, at  any  time  or  times
hereafter upon Tenant's request.

     22)  TENANT'S FINANCING. Notwithstanding any other provisions of
     this Lease, Tenant may, without Landlord's consent, from time to
     time, secure financing or general credit lines and grant the
     lenders thereof, as security therefor, (i) a security interest in
     the Personal Property, (ii) the right to enter the Leased
     Premises to realize upon any Personal Property so pledged, and/or
     (iii) a collateral assignment of Tenant's leasehold interest in
     the Leased Premises, with rights of reassignment; provided,
     however, such collateral assignment may be made solely for the
     purpose of securing Tenant's indebtedness.

     23)  COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE LAWS AND PERMITTED ENCUMBRANCES.
     During the Term, Landlord and Tenant shall comply with (i) all
     lawful requirements of the local, county and state health boards,
     police and fire departments, municipal and state authorities and
     any other governmental authorities with jurisdiction over the
     Leased Premises and (ii) any covenants, restrictions and
     requirements contained in the Permitted Encumbrances, respecting
     Tenant's use and occupancy of the Leased Premises.

24)  NOTICES. Notices under this Lease shall be in writing and
shall  be  deemed properly served and received: (i)  two  (2)
business days after being deposited in the United States mail, as
certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, bearing
adequate postage, (ii) one (1) business day after being deposited
with  a  reputable overnight delivery carrier  (e.g.  Federal
Express, Airborne, UPS, Express Mail) for guaranteed next day
delivery  with  a request that the addressee sign  a  receipt
evidencing  delivery  or  (iii) upon  receipt  if  personally
delivered. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability
to  deliver because of changed address of which no notice was
given shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice as of the date
of such rejection, refusal or inability to deliver. Notices shall

title  insurance regulations and reasonably acceptable to  the
other party hereto.

26)  COVENANT OF QUIET ENJOYMENT. Landlord covenants, warrants
and represents that Tenant, upon paying the rent herein reserved
and  performing  the  covenants and agreements  hereof,  shall
peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Leased Premises

Tenant's tenancy hereunder, to prohibit Tenant or its employees,
customers  and/or invitees from using the Leased  Premises  in
accordance  with the terms of this Lease or to consent  to  or
approve (excepting governmental agencies) any feature  of  the
Leased  Premises  or  Tenant's  signage.  There  shall  be  no
restrictions  of any kind during the Term that could  prevent,
limit or restrict the use of the Leased Premises in accordance
with the terms of this Lease, including, without limitation, (x)
the  operation of a retailer of automotive parts, accessories,
supplies and/or maintenance items and (y) truck deliveries to the

Premises from adjoining public streets shall be erected during
the Term upon any property owned, leased, operated or otherwise
controlled  by  Landlord or any stockholder, member,  partner,
beneficiary, successor, assign, personal representative, heir,
subsidiary  or  affiliate of Landlord,  or  any  person(s)  or
entity(ies) having a direct or indirect interest in  Landlord.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that an intentional
or negligent act or omission or violation of any applicable law,
rule  or regulation by Tenant, or any assignee (to the  extent
Tenant  remains  liable  under this  Lease  subsequent  to  an
assignment pursuant to Section 9) or subtenant of Tenant results
in  the  limitation or restriction of its use  of  the  Leased
Premises, neither Tenant nor any such assignee or subtenant shall
be able to claim such limitation or restriction to be an Event of
Landlord Default hereunder.

27)  SURRENDER, HOLDING OVER.

     a)   Upon expiration of this Lease, or its earlier termination,
     Tenant will surrender possession of the Leased Premises (except
     for any and all of Tenant's Personal Property removed from the
     Leased Premises) to Landlord in broom clean condition, except for
     ordinary wear and tear and loss by fire or other casualty or by a
     "Taking" (as hereinafter defined).

     b)   If Tenant shall remain in possession of the Leased Premises
     or any part thereof after expiration of the Term without an
     agreement in writing between Landlord and Tenant with respect
     thereto, Tenant shall be deemed a tenant from month to month upon
     the  same terms and conditions as contained in this Lease.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall pay Landlord, as
     rental on the Leased Premises for any period that Tenant
     remains  in  possession  of  the  Leased  Premises   after
     expiration of the Term, an amount equal to one hundred ten
     percent  (110%)  of  the  Basic Rent  which  Tenant  would
     otherwise have paid if the Term had not expired  for  each
     month or any portion thereof in which Tenant occupies  the
     Leased Premises after the expiration of the Term.

28) MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

     a)   Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to any
     time periods or dates referenced in this Lease with respect to
     both Landlord and Tenant.

     b)   Confidentiality. Except for documents that are or will be a
     matter of public record or information which the other party has
     agreed  to in writing may be disclosed, the parties hereto,
     including, but not limited to, their heirs, successors, assigns
     and legal representatives, agree to use their best reasonable
     efforts  to maintain the confidentiality of, and shall  not
     disclose to any third party (except to an accountant, attorney,
     potential purchaser, tax preparer for tax return preparation or
     lender to the extent such person agrees to be bound by this
     confidentiality provision), any terms of this Lease or  any
     correspondence, documents and/or things relating to this Lease,
     unless such terms, correspondence, documents and/or things are
     legally required to be disclosed. This confidentiality agreement
     extends  to  any developers, bankers, lawyers, accountants,
     employees, agents or any other persons acting on behalf of the
     parties hereto. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
     contrary, any breach of this confidentiality agreement shall
     constitute an automatic Event of Default without notice or cure
     provided, for which either party may recover damages as their
     sole remedy and for which neither party can terminate this Lease.

     c)   Identity of Interest. Nothing contained in this Lease shall
     be  construed to make Landlord and Tenant partners or  joint
     venturers or to render either party liable for the debts or the
     obligations of the other. The only relationship created by this
     Lease between the parties is that of landlord and tenant.

     d)   Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as herein specifically
     provided, no person, subtenant, customer, employee or invitee or
     any  other  third party shall be deemed to be a third  party
     beneficiary of any of the provisions herein.

     e)   Partial Invalidity. If any section, paragraph, subparagraph,
     sentence, clause or phrase of this Lease shall be declared or
     judged  invalid  or  unconstitutional, such  declaration  or
     adjudication shall not affect the other sections, paragraphs,
     subparagraphs, sentences, clauses or phrases of this Lease, all
     of which shall remain in full force and effect.

     1)  Memorandum  of  Lease; Declaration. Simultaneously  with
     the execution of this Lease, Landlord shall (i) cause to  be
     prepared  and  executed, at its expense,  a  short  form  or
     memorandum  of  this  Lease in the form attached  hereto  as
     Exhibit "F" (the "Lease Memorandum") and (ii) submit same to
     Tenant.  In the event a Lease Memorandum cannot be  recorded
     in  the  State or locality in which the Leased  Premises  is
     located due to
legal or financial considerations, as determined by Tenant in its
sole discretion, after consultation with Landlord concerning  the
requirements of said State or locality, Landlord shall (i)  cause
to  be  prepared  and executed, at its expense, a Declaration  of
Covenants,  Conditions  and Restrictions encumbering  the  Leased
Premises  and any other real property owned, leased, operated  or
otherwise  controlled  by Landlord and/or  related  entities  and
located  adjacent  to  or  within two (2)  miles  of  the  Leased
Premises,  the  form of which Declaration is attached  hereto  as
Exhibit  "G" (the "Declaration") and (ii) submit same to  Tenant.
Landlord shall record, at Tenant's expense, such Lease Memorandum
or Declaration, as applicable. The provisions of this Lease shall
control  with regard to any omissions from, or provisions  hereof
which  may  be  in  conflict with, the Lease  Memorandum  or  the
Declaration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Lease shall  not
be  recorded  in  any office or place of public  record,  and  if
either party shall record this Lease or cause or permit the  same
to be recorded, such act may be treated as a breach of this Lease
by   such   recording  party.  Upon  the  expiration  or  earlier
termination  of  this Lease, the parties hereto shall  execute  a
mutually acceptable agreement terminating the Lease Memorandum or
the Declaration, as applicable.

     g)    Notices Affecting the Leased Premises. Landlord  shall
     promptly forward to Tenant any notice or other communication
     affecting the Leased Premises received by Landlord from any owner
     of property adjoining, adjacent or nearby to the Leased Premises
     or from any municipal or governmental authority, in connection
     with any hearing or other administrative procedure relating to
     the  use  or  occupancy of the Leased Premises or  any  such
     neighboring property.

     h)   Headings; Gender. The section headings are for convenience
     and are not a part of this Lease. The masculine, feminine or
     neuter gender and the singular or plural number shall be deemed
     to  include  the others whenever the context so requires  or
     indicates.

i)    No Waiver. The failure of either party to insist in any one
or  more  instances upon a strict performance of any covenant  of
this  Lease  or to exercise any option or right herein  contained
shall  not  be  construed as a waiver or relinquishment  for  the
future  enforcement of such covenant, right or  option,  but  the
same  shall remain in full force and effect, unless the  contrary
is expressed in writing by such party.

j)   Force Majeure. Except as otherwise specifically contemplated
in  this  Lease,  in the event that Landlord or Tenant  shall  be
delayed or hindered in, or prevented from, the performance of any
act  required  hereunder  by reason of strikes,  lockouts,  labor
troubles,  inability to procure materials,  delay  by  the  other
party,  failure  of power or unavailability of utilities,  riots,
insurrection, war, terrorism or other reason of a like nature not
the fault of such party or not within its control (each, a "Force
Majeure  Event"), then performance of such act shall  be  excused
for  the  period of delay, and the period for the performance  of
any  such  act shall be extended for a period equivalent  to  the
period  of  such delay; provided, however, the party  claiming  a
delay  by reason of a Force Majeure Event shall notify the  other
party  within five (5) business days following the onset  of  the
Force Majeure Event.
k) Pre-existing Conditions. Nothing contained in this Lease shall
be construed to impose any responsibility upon Tenant with regard
to  any  loss, injury or other claim arising as a result  of  any
condition  that  existed on the Leased Premises at  the  time  of
Tenant's taking possession thereof.

1)  No Offer. Tenant's delivery to a prospective landlord of this
form  of Lease shall not be deemed an offer to lease even  though
such form may have been completed in every respect.

m)   Choice of Law. This Lease shall be construed in accordance
with and governed by the laws of the State.

n)   Binding Effect. This Lease shall inure to the benefit of and
be  binding upon Landlord and Tenant and their respective  heirs,
executors, legal representatives, successors and assigns.

o)    No Construction Against Drafting Party. This Lease has been
prepared by Tenant and its professional advisors and reviewed  by
Landlord  and  its  professional advisors. Tenant,  Landlord  and
their separate advisors believe that this Lease is the product of
all of their efforts, that it expresses their agreement, and that
it  should  not  be  interpreted in favor  of  either  Tenant  or
Landlord  or against either Tenant or Landlord merely because  of
their efforts in preparing it.

p)    Entire  Agreement; Amendment. This Lease and  the  attached
exhibits  constitute  the entire agreement between  Landlord  and
Tenant with respect to the Leased Premises, and all negotiations,
considerations,   representations  and   understandings   between
Landlord  and  Tenant prior to the execution of  this  Lease  are
incorporated herein. Neither this Lease nor any of its provisions
nor  any of the documents creating the Permitted Encumbrances set
forth in "Exhibit H" may be amended, modified, waived, discharged
or  terminated except by an instrument in writing signed  by  the
parties hereto.

q)    Trademarks  and Trade Names. All trademarks,  trade  names,
service  marks, signs and all other marks of identification  used
by Tenant in its business shall at all times remain the exclusive
property  of  Tenant, and Landlord shall have no right,  interest
in,  or title to any of Tenant's trademarks, trade names, service
marks, signs or other marks of identification.

r)    Holidays. If the day on which any rent or any other payment
due  hereunder is payable falls on a Saturday or Sunday or  on  a
legal holiday, it shall be payable on the following business day.

s)    Brokers. Tenant and Landlord warrant each to the other that
it  has  had  no dealings with any broker or agent in  connection
with  this lease, and each party covenants to pay, hold  harmless
and  indemnify  the  other from and against any  and  all  costs,
expenses  or  liability  for  any compensation,  commissions  and
charges claimed by any broker or agent with respect to this lease
or the negotiation thereof.
t)    Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in more  than  one
counterpart, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of
which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Mr. Thomas Bocchino

Manalapan, NJ  07726

Dear Mr. Bocchino:

     In recognition of your services, New Brunswick Scientific Co., Inc. (the
"Company") shall, in the event that your employment with the Company is
involuntarily terminated for any reason after the occurrence of a Change in
Control (as defined below), pay to you an amount equal to 200% of your current
annual base salary at the time of such termination.  The payment will be made in
a single sum within 30 days of your termination of employment.

For the purposes of this agreement "Change of Control" generally is defined to
take place when disclosure of such a change would be required by rule(s)
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or when either (i) a
person (other than a current officer or director nominated, selected or elected
by the board) acquires beneficial ownership (as defined in SEC Rule 13d-3) of
25% or more of the combined voting power of the Company's voting securities,
(ii) less than a majority of the directors are persons who were either nominated
or selected by the current board, (iii) a merger tender offer or sale or
exchange of securities involving the Company occurs which results in ownership
of more than 50% of the Company's voting stock by a holder or holders not
currently owning more than 10% of the outstanding shares of stock of the
Company, or (iv) a plan of liquidation or sale of substantially all the assets
of the Company occurs.

Following a Change in Control, in addition to actual termination of your
employment by the Company, you will be considered to have been involuntarily
terminated if you resign after any of the following occurs: a material reduction
in your responsibilities or authority which is expected to last or in fact
continues for more than one month; a reassignment to another geographic location
more than 50 miles from 44 Talmadge Road, Edison, New Jersey; a reduction of at
least 5% in your compensation; abusive or demeaning conduct toward you that
amounts to a constructive discharge under the common law of the State of New
Jersey; or failure by a successor employer following a sale, merger, exchange or
other disposition of the Company, or any subsidiary, facility, or operation at
which you are employed to assume the obligations of the Company under this
Agreement.

Nothing contained herein shall be construed as conferring upon you the right to
continue in the employ of the Company as an executive or in any other capacity.

<PAGE>
MR. THOMAS BOCCHINO     PAGE 2

Any severance pay benefits payable under this letter shall not be deemed salary
or other compensation to you for the purpose of computing benefits to which you
may be entitled under any pension plan or other arrangement of the Company for
the benefit of its employees.

You shall be responsible for payment of any tax liability which results from
payment to you of any amount under this letter.  Any payment(s) shall be subject
to Federal, State and local withholding rules in effect at the time a payment is
made.

The parties hereto agree that this Agreement shall supercede any and all other
agreements between the parties relating to severance pay.

          Sincerely,

     NEW BRUNSWICK SCIENTIFIC CO., INC.
