or so-called blanket policy issued by insurers of recognized responsibility. The
nature and scope of such policy of insurance and the insurer thereunder shall be
subject to  Lessor's  approval,  which  shall not be  unreasonably  withheld  or
delayed.  Should the Lessee  fail to procure  policies  as is  provided  in this

quasi-public  use or purpose,  this Lease and the estate hereby granted,  at the
option of the Lessor, shall terminate as of the date of such taking. If any part
of the Building  other than the Premises be so taken,  the Lessor shall have the
right to  terminate  this Lease within six (6) months  thereafter  by giving the
Lessee  thirty (30) days prior written  notice of the date of such  termination.

property or person occasioned by theft,  fire,  water,  wind,  vandalism,  rain,
snow,  leakage of Building and/or  sprinkler  system,  act of God, public enemy,
injunction, riot, strike, insurrection,  war, court order, requisition, or order
of governmental  body or authority,  unavailability  of fuel or energy, or other

may arise through  repair or alteration of any part of the Building,  or failure
to make such  repairs,  or from any cause  whatever,  unless  caused by Lessor's
gross negligence.

     21. ABANDONMENT

     If the Premises is  abandoned by Lessee,  except as provided in Paragraph 2
hereof,  Lessor shall have the right but not the obligation,  to re-let same for
the  remainder  of the period  covered  hereby;  and if the rent is not received

called for and that received through  re-letting,  and all expenses  incurred by
such other re-letting,  including but not limited to the cost of Realtor's fees,
renovating, and altering and decorating for a new occupant. Nothing herein shall
be construed as in any way denying  Lessor the right,  in case of abandonment of
the Premises,  or other breach of this contract by Lessee,  to treat the same as
an entire  breach of this  contract  and any and all damages  occasioned  Lessor
thereby, or pursue any other remedy provided by law or this Lease.

If the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other  casualty  covered by Lessor's
insurance and not  resulting  from the fault or negligence of Lessee or Lessee's
agents, employees, invitees or visitors, the damages shall be repaired by and at
the expense of Lessor and the rent,  until such repairs shall be made,  shall be
apportioned  according  to the part of the  Premises  which is usable by Lessee.
Lessor agrees, at its expense, to repair promptly any damage of the Premises not
resulting from the fault or negligence of Lessee or Lessee's agents,  employees,
invitees,  or visitors,  except that Lessee agrees to repair and replace its own
furniture,  furnishings,  fixtures, personal property, and equipment, and except
that,  if such damage is so extensive  that the  replacement  of more than fifty
percent (50%) of the Building be required, then and in that event, at the option
of Lessor and by giving  written  notice to Lessee within  forty-five  (45) days
after said  occurrence or damage,  this Lease will be canceled,  and of no force
and effort  from and after the date of  occurrence  of such  damage.  No penalty
shall accrue for  reasonable  delay,  which may arise by reason of adjustment of
insurance on the part of Lessor,  and for reasonable  delay on account of causes
beyond Lessor's control (such as described in Paragraphs 5 and 20 hereof).

     23. WAIVER OF SUBROGATION RIGHTS

     Anything in this Lease to the contrary  notwithstanding,  Lessor and Lessee

damage  that may occur to the  Premises,  or any  improvements  thereto,  or the

personal property of such party therein, by reason of fire, the elements, or any
other cause(s) which are insured  against  policies  referred to in Paragraph 19
hereof,  regardless of cause or origin,  including negligence of the other party
hereto, its agents,  officers,  or employees.  Lessor and Lessee will both exert
their best effort to cause all insurance  policies to include an  endorsement to
the effect the provisions of this Section.

     24. ATTORNEY'S FEES

     In the event that Lessee or Lessor  defaults in the  performance  of any of
the terms,  covenants,  agreements  or  conditions  contained  in this Lease and
Lessor or Lessee places the enforcement of this Lease,  or any part thereof;  or
the collection of any rent or other sum due, or to become due hereunder, or

remedy  allowed by law. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default set forth in
this Lease Agreement,  Lessor shall have the option, if Lessor so elects but not
otherwise,  to pursue  any one or more of the  following  remedies  without  any
notice or demand:

     (a) Terminate this Lease, in which event Lessee shall immediately surrender

arrearage in rent,  enter any other person who may be occupying  all or any part
of the Premises  without being liable for  prosecution of any claim for damages.
Lessee  agrees to pay on demand the amount of all loss and damage  which  Lessor

<PAGE>

     (b) Enter upon and take possession of the Premises,  and lock out, expel or
remove  Lessee from any other person who may be occupying all or any part of the
Premises without being liable for any claim for damages, and re-let the Premises
on behalf of Lessee and receive  directly the rent by reason of the  re-letting.
Lessee agrees to pay Lessor on demand any deficiency that may arise by reason of
any re-letting of the Premises.  Further,  Lessee agrees to reimburse Lessor for
any expenditure  made by it for remodeling or repairing,  as well as the cost of
Realtor's fees, in order to re-let the Premises.

     (c) Enter upon the Premises,  without being liable for  prosecution  of any
claim for damages,  and do whatever Lessee is obligated to do under the terms of

     Failure  of Lessor to  declare  an Event Of  Default  immediately  upon its
occurrence,  or  delay in  taking  any  action  in  connection  with an Event Of
Default, shall not constitute a waiver of the default, but Lessor shall have the
right to declare  the  default at any time and take such  action as is lawful or
authorized  under this  Lease.  Pursuit of any one or more of the  remedies  set
forth in Paragraph 28 above shall not preclude pursuit of any one or more of the
other  remedies  provided  elsewhere in this Lease by reason of the violation of
any of the terms,  provisions  or covenants of this Lease.  Failure by Lessor to
enforce one or more of the remedies  provided upon an Event Of Default shall not
be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of the default or of any violation
or breach of any of the terms, provisions and covenants contained in this Lease.

Premises  and  Lessee  agrees  upon  demand to  execute  additional  instruments
subordinating  this Lease as Lessor or Owner may  require.  If the  interest  of
Lessor or Owner under this Lease shall be  transferred  by reason of foreclosure
or other  proceedings  for  enforcement of any mortgage on the Premises,  Lessee
shall be bound to the transferee  (sometimes  called the "Purchaser")  under the
terms,  covenants  and  conditions  of this  Lease for the  balance  of the term
remaining,  and any extensions or renewals, with the same force and effect as if
the Purchaser  were Lessor under this Lease,  and Lessee agrees to attorn to the
Purchase,  including  the  mortgagee  under  any  such  mortgage  if it  be  the
Purchaser,  as its Lessor,  the  attornment to be effective  and  self-operative
without the execution of any further  instruments upon the Purchaser  succeeding
to  the  interest  of  Lessor  under  this  Lease.  The  respective  rights  and
obligations  of Lessee and the Purchaser upon the  attornment,  to the extent of
the then  remaining  balance of the term of this Lease,  and any  extensions and
renewals, shall be and are the same as those set forth in this Lease.
