the rate of fire, liability, or any other insurance coverage on the Building
and/or its contents.

relate to the use, condition, or occupancy of the Premises. Lessee will comply
with the rules of the Building adopted and altered by Lessor from time to time
for the safety, care, and cleanliness of the Premises and Building and for the
preservation of good order therein, all changes to which will be sent by Lessor

reduction of rent by reason thereof.

Section 21.  Assignment and Subletting.
-----------  --------------------------

                  (a) Lessee shall not, without the prior written consent of
Lessor (i) assign or in any manner transfer Lessee's interest in this Lease or
any estate or interest therein, or (ii) permit any assignment or transfer of
this Lease or any estate or interest therein by operation of law, merger or
consolidation, or (iii) sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or (iv) grant
any license, concession, or other right of occupancy of any portion of the
Premises. Consent by Lessor to one or more assignments or sublettings shall not
operate as a waiver of Lessor's rights as to any subsequent assignments and
sublettings. Notwithstanding any approved assignment or subletting, Lessee shall
at all times remain fully responsible and liable for the payment of the rent
herein specified and for compliance with all of Lessee's other obligations under
this Lease and in the event of any assignment, by operation of law, merger,
consolidation or otherwise, any assignee shall assume and agree to perform all
obligations of Lessee hereunder while an event of default, as hereinafter
defined, should occur the Premises or any part thereof are then assigned or

law, may at its option, collect directly from such assignee or sublessee all
rents becoming due to Lessee under such assignment or sublease, and apply such
rent against any sums due to Lessor by Lessee hereunder, and Lessee hereby
authorizes and directs any such assignee or sublessee to make such payments of
rent directly to Lessor upon receipt of notice from Lessor. No direct collection
by Lessor from any such assignee or sublessee shall be construed to constitute a
novation or a release of Lessee from the further performance of its obligations
hereunder. Receipt by Lessor of rent from any assignee, sublessee, or occupant
of the Premises shall not be deemed a waiver of the covenant contained in this
Lease against assignment and subletting or a release of Lessee under this Lease.
Lessee shall not mortgage, pledge, or otherwise encumber its interest in this
Lease or in the Premises. Any attempted assignment or sublease by Lessee in
violation of the terms and covenants of this paragraph shall be void.

                  (b) ln the event Lessee desires Lessor's consent to an
assignment of the Lease or subletting of all or a part of the Premises and as a
condition to the granting of such consent, Lessee shall submit to Lessor in
writing the name of the proposed assignee or subtenant, the proposed
commencement date of such assignment or subletting, the nature and character of
the business of the proposed assignee or subtenant and such financial
information as shall be reasonably necessary for Lessor to determine the
credit-worthiness of such proposed assignee or subtenant. Lessor shall have the
option (to be exercised within thirty (30) days from submission of Lessee's
written request), (i) to refuse to consent to Lessee's assignment or subleasing
of such space and to continue this Lease in full force and effect as to the
entire Premises; or (ii) to permit Lessee to assign or sublet such space;
subject, however, to provision satisfactory to Lessor for payment to Lessor of
any consideration to be paid by such proposed assignee or sublessee in
connection with such assignment or subletting in excess of Base Rental otherwise
payable by Lessee and for payment to Lessor of any lump sum payment in
connection with such assignment or subletting. If Lessor should fail to notify
Lessee in writing of its election as described above within such thirty (30) day
period, Lessor shall be deemed to have elected option (i) above.

Section 22.  Transfers of Lessor.
-----------  --------------------

                  Lessor shall have the right to transfer and assign, in whole
or in part, all its rights and obligations hereunder and in the Building and
property referred to herein, and provided Lessor's transferee assumes the duties
and obligations of Lessor arising from and after the date of any such transfer
or assignment, upon such transfer or assignment Lessor shall be released from
any further obligations hereunder, and Lessee agrees to look solely to such
successor in interest of Lessor for the performance of such obligations.

Section 23.  Subordination to Mortgage.
-----------  --------------------------

                  This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to any mortgage or
deed of trust which may hereafter encumber the Building, and to all renewals,
modifications, consolidations, replacements, and extensions thereof, which
contain (or which are included in a separate agreement) provisions to the effect
that if there should be a foreclosure or sale under power under such mortgage or
deed of trust, Lessee shall not be made a party defendant thereto, nor shall
such foreclosure or sale under power disturb Lessee's possession under this
Lease, provided always Lessee shall not be in default under this Lease. This
clause shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination need
be required by any mortgagee. In confirmation of such subordination, however,
Lessee shall, at Lessor's request, execute promptly any certificate or
instrument evidencing such subordination that Lessor may request. Lessee hereby
constitutes and appoints Lessor the Lessee's attorney-in-fact to execute any
such certificate or instrument for and on behalf of Lessee. In the event of the
enforcement by the trustee or the beneficiary under any such mortgage or deed of
trust of the remedies provided for by law or by such mortgage or deed of trust,
Lessee will, upon request of any person or party succeeding to the interest of
Lessor as a result of such enforcement, automatically become the Lessee of such
successor in interest without change in the terms or other provisions of this
Lease; provided, however, that such successor in interest shall not be bound by
(a) any payment of rent or additional rent for more than one (1) month in
advance, except prepayments in the nature of security for the performance by
Lessee of its obligations under this Lease, or (b) any amendment or modification
of this Lease made without the written consent of such trustee or such
beneficiary or such successor in interest. Upon request by such successor in
interest, Lessee shall execute and deliver an instrument or instruments
confirming the attornment provided for herein.

Section 24.  Mechanic's Liens.
-----------  -----------------

                  Lessee will not permit any mechanic's lien or liens to be
placed upon the Premises or improvements thereon or the Building during the term
hereof caused by or resulting from any work performed, materials furnished, or
obligation incurred by or at the request of Lessee, and nothing in this Lease
contained shall be deemed or construed in any way as constituting the consent or
request of Lessor, express or implied, by inference or otherwise, to any
contractor, subcontractor, laborer, or materialman for the performance of any
labor or the furnishing of any materials for any specific improvement,
alteration, or repair of or to the Premises, or any part thereof, nor as giving
Lessee any right, power, or authority to contract for or permit the rendering of

filing of any mechanic's or other liens against the interest of Lessor in the

Lessee in the Premises, Lessee shall cause the same to be discharged of record
within ten (10) days after the filing of same either by paying the amount
claimed to be due or by procuring the discharge of such lien by deposit in court
or bonding. If Lessee shall fail to discharge such mechanic's lien within such
period, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of Lessor, Lessor may,
but shall not be obligated to, discharge the same, either by paying the amount
claimed to be due, or by procuring the discharge of such lien by deposit in
court or bonding. Any amount paid by Lessor for any of the aforesaid purposes,
or for the satisfaction of any other lien, not caused or claimed to be caused by
Lessor, with interest thereon at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or
the highest lawful rate, whichever is the lesser, from the date of payment,
shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor on demand.

than ten (10) days' prior request by Lessor, execute, acknowledge, and deliver
to Lessor a statement in writing executed by Lessee certifying that Lessee is in

knowledge of Lessee no default exists hereunder, or specifying each such default
of which Lessee may have knowledge, and such other matters as may be reasonably
requested by Lessor; it being intended that any such statement by Lessee may be
relied upon by any prospective purchaser or mortgagee of the Building.

Section 26.  Events of Default.

Lessee under this Lease:

                  (i) Lessee shall fail to pay any installment of the rent
                  hereby reserved or other sum of money payable hereunder when
                  due and the continuance of such failure for ten (10) days.

                  (ii) Lessee shall fail to comply with any term, provision, or
                  covenant of this Lease, other than the payment of rent, and
                  shall not cure such failure within thirty (30) days after
                  written notice thereof to Lessee, or, if such failure cannot
                  reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period, Lessee
                  commence such actions as are necessary to effect such cure
                  within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter prosecute
                  such cure regularly and diligently to conclusion.

                  (iii) Lessee shall become insolvent, or shall make a transfer
                  in fraud of creditors, or shall commit any act of bankruptcy,
                  or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or
                  Lessee shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts
                  as they become due.

                  (iv) Lessee shall file a petition with any bankruptcy court
                  under any section or chapter of the National Bankruptcy Act,
                  as amended, or under any similar law or statute of the United
                  States or any State thereof, or Lessee shall be the subject of
                  an order for relief issued under the National Bankruptcy Act,
                  as amended, or under any similar law or statute, or Lessee
                  shall have filed any petition or answer seeking any
                  reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment,
                  liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present
                  or future federal or state act or law relating to bankruptcy,
                  insolvency or other relief of debtors, or Lessee shall be the
                  subject of any order, judgment or decree entered into by a
                  court of competent jurisdiction approving a petition filed
                  against Lessee for any reorganization, arrangement,
                  composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar
                  relief under any present or future federal or state act
                  relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief for
                  debtors;

                  (v) A receiver, conservator or trustee shall be appointed for
                  all or substantially all of the assets of Lessee or of the
                  Premises or any of Lessee's property located thereon in any
                  proceeding brought by Lessee, or any such receiver or trustee
                  shall be appointed in any proceeding brought against Lessee
                  and shall not be discharged within sixty (60) days after such
                  appointment, or Lessee shall consent to or acquiesce in such
                  appointment.

                  (vi) The leasehold hereunder shall be taken on execution or
                  other process of law in any action against Lessee.

                  (vii) Lessee shall abandon any portion of the Premises.

                  (viii) Lessee shall fail to vacate the space by the expiration
                  of this lease.

                  (b) If an event of default shall have occurred, Lessor shall
have the right at its election, then or at any time thereafter (and upon the
expiration of any applicable grace period, Lessee shall not be entitled to cure
same and be reinstated as "Lessee" in good standing hereunder), to pursue any
one or more of the following remedies in addition to all other rights or
remedies provided herein or at law or in equity:

                           (i) Lessor may terminate this Lease and forthwith
repossess the Premises and be entitled to recover forthwith as damages a sum of
money equal to the total of (A) the cost of recovering the Premises, (B) the
unpaid rent earned at the time of termination, plus interest thereon at the rate
of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the maximum legal rate, whichever is
lesser from the due date, (C) the balance of the rent for the remainder of the
term less the fair market value of the Premises for such period, and (D) any
other sum of money and damages owed by Lessee to Lessor.

                           (ii) Lessor may terminate Lessee's right of
possession (but not the Lease) and may repossess the Premises by forcible entry
or detainer suit or otherwise, without demand or notice of any kind to Lessee
and without terminating this Lease, in which event Lessor may, but shall be
under no obligation to do so, relet the same for the account of Lessee for such
rent and upon such terms as shall be satisfactory to Lessor. For the purpose of
such reletting, Lessor is authorized to decorate or to make any repairs,
changes, alterations, or additions in or to the Premises and to incur leasing
commissions that may be necessary or convenient, and (A) if Lessor shall fail or
refuse to relet the Premises, or (B) if the same are relet and a sufficient sum
shall not be realized from such reletting after paying the unpaid base and
additional rent due hereunder earned, but unpaid at the time of reletting, plus
eighteen percent (18%) interest thereon or the highest lawful rate, whichever is
lesser, the cost of recovering possession, and all of the costs and expenses of
such decorations, repairs, changes, alterations, and additions, and leasing
commissions and the expense of such reletting and of the collection of the rent
accruing therefrom to satisfy the rent provided for in this Lease to be paid,
then Lessee shall pay to Lessor as damages a sum equal to the amount of the rent
reserved in this Lease for such period or periods, or if the Premises have been
relet, Lessee shall satisfy and pay any such deficiency upon demand therefor
from time to time, and Lessee agrees that Lessor may file suit to recover any
sums falling due under the terms of this Section 26 from time to time; and that
no delivery or recovery of any portion due Lessor hereunder shall be any defense
in any action to recover any amount not theretofore reduced to judgment in favor
of Lessor, nor shall such reletting be construed as an election on the part of
Lessor to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention be
given to Lessee by Lessor. Notwithstanding any such reletting without
termination, Lessor may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for
such previous breach.

Section 27.  Lessor's Right to Relet.
-----------  ------------------------

                  In the event of default by Lessee in any of the terms or
covenants of this Lease or in the event the Premises are abandoned by Lessee,
Lessor shall have the right, but not the obligation, to relet same for the
remainder of the term provided for herein, and if the rent received through
reletting does not at least equal the rent provided for herein, Lessee shall pay
and satisfy the deficiency between the amount of the rent so provided for and
that received through reletting, including, but not limited to, the cost of
renovating, altering, and decorating for a new occupant as well as any leasing
commissions incurred in connection therewith. Nothing herein shall be construed
as in any way denying Lessor the right, in the event of abandonment of the
Premises or other breach of this Lease by Lessee, to treat the same as an entire
breach, and at Lessor's option to terminate this Lease and/or immediately seek
recovery for the entire breach of this Lease and any and all damages which
Lessor suffers thereby.

Section 28.  Lien for Rent.
-----------  --------------

                  In consideration of the mutual benefits arising under this
Lease, Lessee hereby grants to Lessor a lien and security interest on Lessee's
furniture, equipment, machinery and furnishings now or hereafter placed in or
upon the Premises and such property shall be and remain subject to such lien and
security interest of Lessor for payment of all rent and other sums agreed to be
paid by Lessee herein. The provisions of this paragraph relating to such lien
and security interest shall constitute a security agreement under the Uniform
Commercial Code so that Lessor shall have and may enforce a security interest on
such property of Lessee. Lessee agrees to execute as debtor such financing
statement or statements as Lessor may now or hereafter reasonably request in
order that such security interest or interests may be perfected pursuant to the
Uniform Commercial Code. Lessor may at its election at any time file a copy of
this Lease as a financing statement. Lessor, as secured party, shall be entitled
to all of the rights and remedies afforded a secured party under the Uniform
Commercial Code in addition to and cumulative of the landlord's liens and rights
provided by law or by the other terms and provisions of this Lease.

Section 29.  Attorneys' Fees.
-----------  ----------------

                  In the event either party hereto institutes any legal or
equitable proceeding against the other party hereto, the prevailing party shall
be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys fees.


Section 30.  No Implied Waiver.
-----------  ------------------

                  The failure of Lessor to insist at any time upon the strict
performance of any covenant or agreement or to exercise any option, right,
power, or remedy contained in this Lease shall not be construed as a waiver or a
relinquishment thereof for the future. The waiver of or redress for any
violation of any term, covenant, agreement, or condition contained in this Lease
shall not prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a
violation, from having all the force and effect of an original violation. No
express waiver shall affect any condition other than the one specified in such
waiver and that one only for the time and in the manner specifically stated. A
receipt by Lessor of any rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant or
agreement contained in this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach,
and no waiver by Lessor of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have
been made unless expressed in writing and signed by Lessor. No payment by Lessee
or receipt by Lessor of a lesser amount than the monthly installment of rent due
under this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest
rent due hereunder, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any
letter accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed an accord and
satisfaction, and Lessor may accept such check or payment without prejudice to
Lessor's right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy in
this Lease provided.

Section 31.  Casualty Insurance.
-----------  -------------------

                  Lessor shall maintain fire and extended coverage insurance on
the Building. Such insurance shall be maintained with an insurance company
authorized to do business in Texas, in amounts desired by Lessor and at the
expense of Lessor (as a part of the Basic Costs), and payments for losses
thereunder shall be made solely to Lessor. Lessee shall maintain at its expense
fire and extended coverage insurance on all of its personal property, including
removable trade fixtures, located in the Premises and on all additions and
improvements made by Lessee and not required to be insured by Lessor above. If
the annual premiums to be paid by Lessor shall exceed the standard rates because
Lessee's operations, contents of the Premises, or improvements with respect to
the Premises beyond Building standard, result in extra-hazardous exposure,
Lessee shall pay the excess amount of the premium upon request therefor by
Lessor.

Section 32.  Liability Insurance.
-----------  --------------------

                  Lessor shall, at its expense (as a part of the Basic Costs),
maintain a policy or policies of comprehensive general liability insurance with
the premiums thereon fully paid on or before the due date, issued by and binding
upon some solvent insurance company.

                  Lessee shall, at Lessee's expense, obtain and keep in force
during the term of this Lease a policy of Combined Single Limit Bodily Injury
and Property Damage Insurance insuring Lessee and Lessor against any liability
arising out of the use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises and the
Property. Such insurance shall be in an amount not less than $500,000.00 per
occurrence. The policy shall insure performance by Lessee of the indemnity
provisions of Section 33 of this Lease. The limits of said insurance shall not,
however, limit the liability of Lessee hereunder.

Section 33.  Indemnity.
-----------  ----------

                  Neither Lessor, nor Lessor's agents, servants, or employees
shall be liable to Lessee, or to Lessee's agents, servants, employees,
customers, or invitees, for any damage to person or property caused by any act,
omission, or neglect of Lessee, its agents, servants or employees, and Lessee
agrees to indemnify and hold Lessor and Lessor's agents, servants, and employees
harmless from all liability and claims for any such damage. Lessee shall not be
liable to Lessor, or to Lessor's agents, servants, employees, customers, or
invitees, for any damage to person or property caused by any act, omission, or
neglect of Lessor, its agents, servants, or employees, and Lessor agrees to
indemnify and hold Lessee harmless from all claims for such damage.

Section 34.  Waiver of Subrogation Rights.
-----------  -----------------------------

                  Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Lessor
and Lessee each hereby waives any and all rights of recovery, claim, action, or
cause of action, against the other, its agents, officers, or employees, for any
loss or damage that may occur to the Premises, or any improvements thereto, or
any personal property of such party therein, by reason of fire, the elements, or
any other cause or origin, including negligence of the other party hereto, its
agents, officers, or employees, and covenants that no insurer shall hold any
right of subrogation against such other party.

Section 35.  Casualty Damage.
-----------  ----------------

                  If the Premises or any part thereof shall be damaged by fire
or other casualty, Lessee shall give prompt written notice thereof to Lessor. In
case the Building shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, but shall not be
rendered untenantable in whole or in part, Lessor shall, at its sole expense,
cause such damage to be repaired with reasonable diligence to substantially the
same condition in which it was immediately prior to the happening of the
casualty, and the Base Rental hereunder shall not be abated; however, in case
the Building shall be so damaged by fire or other casualty that substantial
alteration or reconstruction of the Building shall, in Lessor's sole opinion, be
required (whether or not the Premises shall have been damaged by such fire or
other casualty), or in the event any mortgagee under a mortgage or deed of trust
covering the Building should require that the insurance proceeds payable as a
result of said fire or other casualty be used to retire the mortgage debt,
Lessor may, at its option, terminate this Lease and the term and estate hereby
granted by notifying Lessee in writing of such termination within sixty (60)
days after the date of such damage. If Lessor does not thus elect to terminate
this Lease, Lessor shall within seventy-five (75) days after the date of such
damage commence to repair and restore the Building and shall proceed with
reasonable diligence to restore the Building (except that Lessor shall not be
responsible for delays outside its control) to substantially the same condition
in which it Was immediately prior to the happening of the casualty, except that
Lessor shall not be required to rebuild, repair, or replace any part of Lessee's
fixtures, equipment or other personal property removable by Lessee under the
provisions of this Lease, and Lessor shall not in any event be required to spend
for such work an amount in excess of the insurance proceeds actually received by
Lessor as a result of the fire or other casualty. Lessor shall not be liable for
any inconvenience or annoyance to Lessee or injury to the business of Lessee
resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof, except that,
subject to the provisions of the next sentence, Lessor shall allow Lessee a fair
diminution of rent during the time and to the extent the Premises, or any
portion thereof, are unfit for occupancy. If the Premises or any other portion
of the Building be damaged by fire or other casualty resulting from the fault or


                                                     Tenant Initials ___________

                                                    Landlord Initials___________
10

negligence of Lessee or any of Lessee's agents, employees, or invitees, the rent
hereunder shall not be diminished during the repair of such damage, and Lessee
shall be liable to Lessor for the cost and expense of the repair and restoration
of the Building caused thereby to the extent such cost and expense is not
covered by insurance proceeds. Any insurance which may be carried by Lessor or
Lessee against loss or damage to the Building or to the Premises shall be for
the sole benefit of the party carrying such insurance and under its sole
control.

Section 36.  Condemnation.
-----------  -------------

                  If the whole or substantially the whole of the Premises should
be taken for any public or quasi-public use under any governmental law,
ordinance, or regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or should be sold to
the condemning authority in lieu of condemnation, then this Lease shall
terminate as of the date when physical possession of the Premises is taken by
the condemning authority. If less than the whole or substantially the whole of
the Complex, Building or the Premises is thus taken or sold, Lessor (whether or
not the Premises are affected thereby) may terminate this Lease by giving
written notice thereof to Lessee within sixty (60) days after the right of
election accrues, in which event this Lease shall terminate as of the date when
physical possession of such portion of the Complex or Building or Premises is
taken by the condemning authority. If upon any such taking or sale of less than
the whole or substantially the whole of the Complex or Building or the Premises
this Lease shall not be thus terminated, the Base Rental payable thereunder
shall be diminished by an amount representing that part of the Base Rental as
shall properly, in Lessor's reasonable judgment, be allocable to the portion of
the Premises which was so taken or sold or affected, if any, and Lessor shall,
at Lessor's sole expense, restore and reconstruct the Complex, Building or the
Premises, as the case may be, to substantially their former condition to the
extent that the same, in Lessor's judgment, may be feasible; Lessor shall not in
any event be required to spend for such work an amount in excess of the amount
received by Lessor as compensation awarded upon a taking of any part or all of
the Complex, Building or the Premises, and Lessee shall not be entitled to and
expressly waives all claim to any such compensation.

Section 37.  Notices and Cure.
-----------  -----------------

                  In the event of any act or omission by Lessor which would give
Lessee the right to damages from Lessor or the right to terminate this Lease by
reason of the constructive or actual eviction from all or part of the Premises
or otherwise, Lessee shall not sue for such damages or exercise any such right
to terminate until it shall have given written notice of such act or omission to
Lessor and to the holder(s) of any indebtedness or other obligations secured by
any mortgage or deed of trust affecting the Premises (to the extent Lessor
provides Lessee with appropriate notice addresses for any such persons), and a
reasonable period of time for remedying such act or omission shall have elapsed
following the giving of such notice, during which time Lessor and such holder(s)
or either of them, their agents or employees, shall be entitled to enter upon
the Premises and do therein whatever may be necessary to remedy such act or
omission. During the period after the giving of such notice and during the
remedying of such act or omission, the Base Rental payable by Lessee for such
period as provided in this Lease shall be abated and apportioned only to the
extent that any part of the Premises shall be untenantable.

Section 38.  Personal Liability.
-----------  -------------------

                  The liability of Lessor to Lessee for any default by Lessor
under the terms of this Lease shall be limited to the interest of Lessor in the
Building and the land on which the Building is situated, and Lessee agrees to
look solely to Lessor's interest in the Building and the land on which the
Building is situated for the recovery of any judgment from Lessor, it being
intended that Lessor shall not be personally liable for any judgment or
deficiency. This clause shall not be deemed to limit or deny any remedies which
Lessee may have in the event of a default by Lessor hereunder which do not
involve the personal liability of Lessor.

                  On the last day of the term of this Lease, or upon the earlier
termination of this Lease, Lessee shall peaceably surrender the Premises to
Lessor in good order, repair, and condition at least equal to the condition when
delivered to Lessee, excepting only reasonable wear and tear resulting from
normal use, and damage by fire or other casualty covered by the insurance
carried by Lessor. All movable fixtures, office equipment, and other personal
property of Lessee shall remain the property of Lessee, and upon the expiration
date or earlier termination of this Lease may be removed from the Premises by
Lessee, subject, however, to Lessor's lien for rent; provided, however, that

wear and tear excepted), any damage to the Premises or the Building caused by
such removal. Any of such movable fixtures, office equipment and other personal
property not so removed by Lessee at or prior to the expiration date or earlier

surrendered with the Premises as a part thereof at the termination of this Lease
by lapse of time or otherwise, Lessee hereby waiving all rights to any payment
or compensation therefor. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
Lessee's surrender of the Premises shall in no way affect Lessee's obligation to
pay rent to the date of expiration of this Lease, whether or not the amount of
such obligation has been ascertained either as of the date Lessee surrenders the
Premises or as of the date of expiration of this Lease.

         terms and provision of these rules and regulations and any lease now or
         hereafter in effect between Landlord and any tenant in the Building,
         Landlord shall have the right to rely on the term or provision in
         either such lease or such Rules and Regulations which is most
         restrictive on such tenant and most favorable to Landlord.
