          "project bylaws" that will set general rules for maintaining order and
          sound management of the Project. The "project bylaws" shall apply to

          the purposes of the Watchmen's Law 5727-1967, and the Company shall
          not bear the responsibility under this law. The purpose of the
          surveillance and supervision shall be in the domain of maintaining

          Company is willing to comply with the Tenant's request, the Tenant
          shall be required to make a special payment to the Company for such,
          in accordance with a tariff that the Company may set from time to
          time. Such service and the operation of systems as stated shall be
          considered to be a special service to the Tenant.

     4.16 The Tenant takes note of the fact that is possible that from time to
          time, intentionally or unintentionally, as a result of the services of
          the Management Company or as a result of some other factor, there may
          be the suspensions, disruptions, delays, and malfunctions in anything
          associated with the supply of electricity, water, generators,
          elevators, air-conditioning, maintenance services, security, and
          anything else associated with the Company's services. The Tenant
          undertakes not to demand any compensation or indemnification from the
          Company (and/or from the Owner) on account of such and shall not
          demand any restitution or compensation on their account. The Company
          affirms that it will act to the best of its ability to take all
          reasonable steps that may be required, to the extent possible, to
          prevent and limit malfunctions as stated.

          areas or the Project systems or any part thereof or if it does not
          benefit from the services of the Company or does not receive them for
          any reason whatsoever.

          it is entitled under this contract with regard to any service that the

          by the Company.

          part thereof is registered as a condominium.

6.   CONTRIBUTORY SHARE IN THE EXPENDITURES OF THE COMPANY

     6.1  In the present section and in the present contract the following terms
          shall have the meaning as indicated:

          "EXISTING UNITS" - All of the units (including the Tenant's unit) that
          already existed in the Project and in any part thereof at the time of
          the provision of management and maintenance services by the Company
          under the present contract, which are units in which all work has been
          completed and they are fit for operation for their intended purpose,
          even if they have not yet been occupied. This does not however include
          the parking facilities in the project and does not include the
          Management Company areas and public areas.

          By way of sound practice it is hereby made plain and agreed that an
          "existing unit" that has not yet been leased out by the Owner as well
          as an "existing unit" that has been vacated by its lessee or tenant
          (other than the Owner) shall not be considered to be an "existing
          unit" or one of the "existing units," and no contributory share shall
          be paid on account of such a unit and the "proportional share" as
          stipulated below shall
<PAGE>

          be computed without this unit. However, if as a result of the
          nonleasing by the Owner or as the result of the vacating of the unit
          or units by their tenants or occupiers (other than the Owner) the area
          of "existing units" falls below 75% of the total area of the units
          that were fit to be included as "existing units" were it not for the
          nonleasing or vacating thereof, the Owner shall pay the contributory
          share in the expenditures of the company (as stipulated below) on
          account of areas to make up the 75% (seventy-five percent) stated
          above. The Owner shall not be responsible for any contributory share
          in the event that the area of the "existing units" (without units that
          have not yet been leased or have been vacated as stated) exceeds 75%
          of the area of the units that are fit to be included as existing
          units.

          "ACTUAL EXPENDITURES" - All expenditures without exception made by the
          Company, including those associated with the provision of mandatory
          services and optional services, whether fixed or variable, as well as
          all expenditures made by the Company on account of the areas of the
          covered parking facilities in the project (Buildings B and C) and on
          account of their operation; without detracting from the stated
          provisions, it is agreed that "actual expenditures" shall be also and
          include the salaries of its employees who are associated with the
          provision of the services (and including social benefits and ancillary
          conditions), payments to contractors and subcontractors, outlays for
          the purchase of materials, equipment, facilities, and media (including
          the overhaul and/or replacement of equipment, facilities, and
          accessories as needed), all as may be required in order to provide
          management and maintenance services as well as outlays to lease and
          maintain the Company's office and storerooms in the Project, financing
          costs (including on account of the services, on account of the
          equipment, and on account of fixed assets), depreciation and
          [translated as written] on equipment and facilities, motor vehicle
          maintenance, insurance, payments under deductible clauses, payment of
          taxes, municipal rates, and other mandatory payments that relate to
          the public areas, the covered parking facilities, the Management
          Company areas, and Company services (excluding taxes and mandatory
          payments on Company profits), as well as a closed reserve fund for the
          overhaul and/or replacement of equipment, facilities, and accessories,
          as well as the fees of the accountant and bookkeepers (who audit and
          maintain the Company's books and the accounts that will be submitted
          to the holders of the units), as well as general administrative
          expenditures and the like, legal expense, and fees to attorneys and
          other service providers. "Actual expenditures" shall also include
          future obligations of the Company related to any matter enumerated
          above.

          "PROPORTIONAL SHARE" - A share to be computed on the basis of the
          ratio between the area of the Tenant's unit and the overall area of
          all the "existing units" at that time in the project and every part
          thereof. The area of the Tenant's unit and the overall area of all the
          existing units are computed according to the key determined by the
          Owner and that will be displayed in the offices of the Management
          Company.

          "EXPENDITURES OF THE COMPANY"" - means the Actual Expenditures plus
          15% of the Actual Expenditures.
<PAGE>

     6.2  The Tenant undertakes to pay the Company its share of the
          "expenditures of the Company"; this shall be the proportional share
          (based on the "Tenant's unit") of the "expenditures of the Company"
          (above and hereinafter "the contributory share"). The Tenant
          undertakes to pay the Company its contributory share starting on 1
          March 2000 and to continue paying it until the day on which it
          actually restores possession of the Tenant's unit to the Owner, in the
          manner and method stipulated in the tenancy agreement between the
          Tenant and the Owner.

     6.3  The Tenant shall pay its contributory share in the "expenditures of
          the Company" in quarterly payments, every three months in advance. The
          Company shall determine from time to time a realistic and cautious
          estimate of the anticipated "expenditures of the Company" (hereinafter
          "the estimate"), and the quarterly payments will be set provisionally
          on the basis of this estimate.

          It is agreed that these payments shall be made each year on the first
          day of the months of January, April, July, and October.

     6.4  From time to time (but at least once a year) the Company will examine
          the actual expenditures really made vis-a-vis the estimate and draw up
          an "updated expenditure report" for the period of the estimate. Should
          it become clear that the estimate was lower than its real expenditures
          (as presented in the updated expenditures report), it will send the
          Tenant a bill to cover the difference; the Tenant undertakes to pay
          this bill to the Company on the first date thereafter stipulated for
          the payment of the quarterly contributory share.

          Should it become apparent from the updated expenditures report that
          the quarterly payments (under section 6.3) were greater than the
          amount that the Tenant should have paid, the Tenant's account with the
          Company will be credited as of the first day thereafter stipulated for
          the payment of the quarterly contributory share.

     6.5  To the differentials according to section 6.4 above will be added
          linkage differentials to the Consumer Price Index, to be computed with
          regard to each month in the period covered by the "updated
          expenditures report."

     6.6  To guarantee payment of the contributory share in the "expenditures of
          the Company," the Tenant conveys to the Company an independent bank
          guarantee in the amount of NIS 29,000 (twenty-nine thousand New
          Israeli Sheqels) (including 17% Value Added Tax). The guarantee shall
          be index-linked (base index 106.8 points, published on 15 November
          1999). The guarantee shall be phrased as in the sample in Appendix E
          to the Tenant's tenancy agreement with the Owner.

          The Tenant undertakes not to take any step whatsoever to hinder the
          ability of the Company to cash the bank guarantee.

          The Tenant undertakes that the Company will always be in possession of
          a bank guarantee of the stated type and in the event that the Company
          cashes the guarantee in its possession, or any part thereof, the
          Tenant undertakes to make up the amount of the guarantee or to provide
          a new bank guarantee as stated.
<PAGE>

     6.7  It is agreed that the Company alone shall be entitled to any income or
          any revenue that the Company may have other than in relation to the
          provision of mandatory services (section 3.1 above) and other than in
          relation to the optional services (section 3.2 above). Any revenue or
          income as stated shall not be offset against the Actual Expenditures.

     6.8  It is agreed that the provisions of the present contract in general
          and the provisions of the present section 6 in particular shall always
          be interpreted in such fashion that there will not be imposed on the
          Company any input or cost with relation to its services under the
          present contract and that all its expenditures plus 15% as stated will
          be covered by the tenants (including the Owner if it is in possession
          of an existing unit on account of which it is obligated to bear a
          "contributory share" as stated in section 6.1 (second paragraph of the
          definition of "existing units").

     6.9  In the event of any ambiguity or disagreement concerning the
          assignment of any service or expenditure, the service and expenditure
          shall be included as "actual expenditures."

7.   BOOKKEEPING

     7.1  The Company undertakes to maintain separate books of account relating
          to "actual expenditures," its services, and its activities in the
          project. The Company will also maintain a ledger card for each unit in
          the project. The books of account will be audited and approved by an
          accountant to be designated by the Company for this purpose.

     7.2  In accordance with arrangements to be determined by the Company, the
          Tenant will be entitled to receive from the Company and the accountant
          explanations about everything related to the books of account and
          documents that relate to the "actual expenditures."

8.   DELINQUENCY AND LINKAGE

     8.1  Without detracting from any right that the Company may have under this
          contract and any legal provision on account of breach of the contract,
          it is agreed that any case in which the Tenant is delinquent in
          payment of any sum that it owes to the Company under the present
          contract, the Tenant shall pay to the Company that amount linked to
          the index, as stipulated in the present contract (and if with regard
          to the sum there is no base index, the "base index" for this amount
          shall be the known index on the day when the Tenant was supposed to
          have paid the amount), plus arrears index at a rate that is twice the
          interest rate (including fees and expenses) charged by Bank Hapoalim,
          Ltd., (Main Tel Aviv branch) on authorized overdraft (hahad) accounts
          for nonpreferred customers,, with this arrears interest being computed
          by the method and manner whereby Bank Hapoalim, Ltd., computes during
          the period of the arrears (including compound interest).
<PAGE>

     8.2  The Company reserves the right to stipulate that the amount in arrears
          will be paid plus linkage differentials and 12% annual interest (it
          too index linked), instead of the interest stipulated in section 8.1
          above.

     8.3  In the present contract, "indexation" means linkage to the Consumer
          Price Index published by the Central Bureau of Statistics and Economic
          Research. The computation of linkage according to the present contract
          shall be made according to the "known index."

     8.4  Revenues from arrears interest or linkage (sections 8.1 and 8.2 above)
          shall not be offset against the amount of the "actual expenditures."

9.   MISCELLANEOUS

     9.1  A Tenant who has rights of possession (lessee or sublessee) in a unit
          in the "buildings" shall not be entitled to transfer its rights in the
          unit unless it has paid all its debts on account of the contributory
          share in the "expenditures of the Company" and on condition that the
          party that receives its rights conclude a management contract with the
          Company. The management contract, in this case, will be recorded in
          the land registry office as a condition of the lease.

     9.2  The Tenant affirms that in the event that it violates terms of the
          present contract it will be considered to have violated its agreement
          with the Owner and gives an irrevocable instruction to the Owner to
          act according to the provisions of that agreement that deal with
          breach of the agreement (including cashing of guarantees and
          cancellation of the agreement).

     9.3  With the signing of this management contract the Owner is seen to have
          carried out all of its obligations vis-a-vis the Tenant in everything
          associated with management and maintenance of the Project. It is
          further agreed that in everything connected with management,
          maintenance, and the provision of services under the tenancy agreement
          only the provisions of the present contract shall apply and only with
          regard to the Tenant and the Company.

     9.4  The Company is entitled to transfer its liabilities and rights under
          this management contract to another party to be determined by the
          Owner and is entitled to meet its obligations (in a whole or in part)
          by means of contractors and by means of outside service providers.

     9.5  Deposits and funds belonging to the Tenant that may be held by the
          Company, if any, shall not be included in the system of accounts under
          section 7.1 above. Income and expenditures related to such deposits
          and funds shall be at the responsibility or to the credit of the
          company along.

     9.6  It is agreed that the Company is entitled to require the Tenant to
          make any repair in the Tenant's unit and any repair of a system or
          installation associated with its unit or associated with particular
          units including the Tenant's unit; the Company is further entitled to
          determine that it will perform the required repairs as stated at its
          own
<PAGE>

          initiative and without the separate consent of the Tenant. Every
          service of this sort by the Company shall be deemed vis-a-vis the
          Tenant to be a service provided to it on a private basis and at its
          commission, and the Tenant shall be obligated to pay the Company on
          demand the rate (or price) of the repair.

     9.7  With the approval of the Owner, the Company is entitled to determine
          that the costs and expenditures related to the covered parking
          facilities, in whole or in part, will not be included in the "actual
          expenditures." The Tenant shall not, however, be entitled to impose
          this upon the Company in any fashion whatsoever.

10.  INSURANCE

     The Company undertakes to take out insurance as stated in section 3.1.4 and
     to take out each one of the policies listed below and in accordance with
     the following provisions:

     10.1 The Company will take out the "Company insurance" as detailed in
          section 11 (and in Appendix E) to the tenancy agreement.

          To avoid any doubt it is made plain that the Tenant will take out the
          insurance required of it in section 11 of the tenancy agreement.

     10.2 To take out additional insurance at the discretion of the Company and
          to reduce such insurance or a portion thereof at the discretion of the
          Company.

     10.3 Insurance premiums and every other outlay that the Company and Owner
          may have in connection with the "Company insurance" (under Appendix E
          to the tenancy agreement) and in connection with other insurance taken
          out by the Company and/or by the Owner shall be considered to be
          "actual expenditures" for the purposes of section 6 above.

11.  ADDRESSES AND NOTIFICATIONS

     The Company's address for any matter related to this management contract is
     the management office in the project.

     The Tenant's address is the Tenant's unit.

     Any notice from one party to the other sent by registered mail shall be
     considered to have reached its address within 72 hours of its conveyance
     for delivery by registered mail, and a written notice delivered by hand
     shall be considered to have reached its destination 24 hours after its
     delivery.

12.  SPECIAL REMEDY IN THE EVENT OF A BREACH OF AGREEMENT BY THE TENANT

     In addition to every right available to the Owner and the Company, it is
     agreed that in the event of a breach of contract by the Tenant the Company
     shall be entitled to suspend the provision of its services to the Tenant,
     in a whole or in part, without thereby detracting from the obligation of
     the Tenant to continue to pay its contributory share in the
<PAGE>

     expenditures of the Company. In the context of this suspension of service
     the Company will be entitled to deny the Tenant use of portions of the
     public areas, including elevators, stairwells, air-conditioning, lighting,
     and more.

13.  TERM OF THE AGREEMENT

     The present contract takes effect on the date of its signing by the parties
     and shall remain in effect as long as the Tenant is a lessee or sublessee
     of its unit. In the case that the Tenant is leasing the unit from the
     Owner, the present contract shall remain in effect as long as the Tenant
     retains possession of the Tenant's unit or as long as the lease remains in
     effect (which ever is later).

     The Company shall return to the Tenant the bank guarantees or any sum that
     may remain in the hands of Company after it has been cashed only after the
     Tenant has paid off all debts to the Company, including its debts until the
     end of the contract term that may be discovered later with the
     determination of its real actual expenditures (according to the first
     paragraph of section 6.4 above).

14.  Notwithstanding what may be stated anywhere in the contract or the tenancy
     agreement, the Tenant shall not be entitled to offset any obligation that
     it may have vis-a-vis the Company or vis-a-vis the Owner against any
     obligation or debt that the Company or the Owner may have vis-a-vis the
     Tenant under the contract and/or under any contract or other obligation in
     general and under the tenancy agreement in particular. The Tenant's
     obligation under this management contract is independent and absolute and
     the Tenant shall be obligated to satisfy them unconditionally, and there
     shall be no reduction thereof for any cause whatsoever even if the Tenant
     has financial or other rights vis-a-vis the Owner or vis-a-vis the Company
     or vis-a-vis other parties on account of any matter including on account of
     the contract, on account of the tenancy agreement, on account of the
     project, or anything related thereto.

15.  The Company affirms that it has read the tenancy agreement and agrees with
     its provisions.

             SPECIAL APPENDIX TO THE TENANCY AGREEMENT/REMEASUREMENT

LEASED PREMISES:  UNIT NO. _____

LESSOR:           HAR HOTZVIM PROPERTIES LTD.

LESSEE:           BRT BIOPHARMACEUTICALS LTD.

1.   In everything related to the area of the leased premises, as stated in
     section 1.2.4 of the tenancy agreement signed by the parties, the parties
     agree that after conveyance of possession of the leased premises the lessor
     will perform a measurement of the net area of the leased premises.

2.   The "net area of the leased premises" means: the area of the leased
     premises including the entire area of the leased premises enclosed by the
     outside walls of the eased premises, including the area of the
     cross-section of the outside walls of the building and including the area
     of the cross section of the outside wall of the leased premises located in
     the interior of the building; but an outside wall shared with other leased
     premises (and only other leased premises) shall be computed at one-half of
     the area of its cross section. (The term "cross section" refers to a
     horizontal cross section at the level of the floor.)

     The "net area of the leased premises" shall be the basis for the
     computation of the agreed area of the leased premises for the purpose of
     the tenancy agreement and for the purpose of section 1.2.4 of the tenancy
     agreement.

     It is agreed that the "gross area of the leased premises"--namely, the area
     that will be computed as the agreed area of the leased premises for the
     purpose of the tenancy agreement, shall be that area such that subtracting
     18% from it yields an area equal to the "net area of the leased premises."

     For example: if the "net area of the leased premises" is 1,230 square
     meters, then the "gross area of the leased premises" is 1,500 square
     meters.

3.   "The gross area of the leased premises" obtained through the computation in
     this special appendix shall be the agreed-upon area that shall be
     considered to be included in section 1.2.4 of the tenancy agreement; and
     this in-place of the area currently stated in the tenancy agreement.

4.   The amounts of the monthly rent as well as the amounts of the promissory
     notes in the tenancy agreement shall be modified in accordance with the
     change in the "gross area of the leased premises" and in proportional
     fashion.

5.   The lessee undertakes to convey to the lessor new promissory notes
     according to the principles of the tenancy agreement, in their new value,
     should it become apparent that there is a change in the "gross area of the
     leased premises" as stated above. This provision is a principal condition
     of the tenancy agreement.
<PAGE>

     Until the lessee conveys to the lessor new promissory notes as stated, the
     lessor shall present for payment the promissory notes in its possession at
     that time and the lessee shall have no right to protest.

6.   Following the measurement and modification of the "gross area of the leased
     premises" as stated, if there is one, the lessor shall issue written
     notification to the lessee concerning the amendment of the relevant
     sections in the tenancy agreement, and this notice by the lessor shall bind
     the parties and shall be an integral and binding part of the tenancy
     agreement.

7.   The lessee reserves the right to challenge, within one month, a
     notification by the lessor under section 6 above, in the form of the
     submission of a competing measurement of the "net area of the leased
     premises" performed (at the lessee's expense) by a qualified surveyor. The
     dispute shall be resolved by the surveyor on behalf of the lessor and the
     surveyor on behalf of the lessee (each party shall bear the costs and fee
     of its surveyor); and in accordance with the ruling on the disagreement a
     new notification (according to section 6) shall be issued by the lessor. As
     long as the dispute has not been resolved, the original notice by the
     lessor under section 6 above shall continue to apply.

8.   This special appendix is an integral part of the tenancy agreement.

Between: Har Hotzvim Properties Ltd. ("the lessor")

And:     BRT Biopharmaceuticals Ltd. ("the lessee")


                                    INSURANCE

1.   This appendix constitutes an integral part of the tenancy agreement between
     the lessor and the lessee that was signed with regard to the leased
     premises that are unit No. B/3/101 in Building B in the Ramot Meir project,
     Har Hotzvim, Jerusalem.

2.   The lessee undertakes to take out and maintain the insurance detailed in
     the provisions of this appendix and undertakes to abide by all of the
     obligations imposed on it by the various provisions of this appendix, and
     as follows:

     2.1  Before the date of the handover of possession of the leased premises
          and/or before the date of the granting of permission and as a
          condition for receiving permission to carry out work in the leased
          premises and/or before the starting date of any work whatsoever in the
          leased premises by the lessee and/or on its behalf and/or for its
          benefit--whichever of these three may be earliest--the lessee
          undertakes to take out and maintain "construction work insurance" as
          enumerated in Appendix E-1 (attached to the present Appendix E as part
          thereof) at its own expense with a legally certified insurance company
          that has a reputation in Israel, concerning all work to be performed
          by it and/or on its behalf and/or for its benefit in the leased
          premises, including equipment, systems, and machines that will be used
          for the lessee's business as well as repairs, renovations,
          improvements, modifications, and additions that may be made to the
          leased premises.

     2.2  Without a need for any request or application by the lessor and/or the
          management company, the lessee undertakes to convey to the lessor no
          later than the date of the handover of possession of the leased
          premises or the date of the start of any work whatsoever in the leased
          premises, whichever of these two may be earlier, confirmation that it
          has taken out construction insurance, on the model of the
          "construction insurance certification" attached to the present
          appendix and labeled Appendix E-1, signed in due legal form by the
          insurer. The lessee and the lessor and/or the management company shall
          be entitled to prevent the lessee from carrying out work in the leased
          premises and/or handling over possession of the leased premises in the
          event that the said confirmation has not been presented before the
          said date.

     2.3  Without detracting from the liability and obligations of the lessee
          under this tenancy agreement and the present Appendix E and under the
          management contract and/or according to law, from the date of the
          introduction of any property and/or belongings whatsoever to the
          leased premises or from the date of the start of the term of the
<PAGE>

          lease and/or from the date of the handover of possession of the leased
          premises (whichever is earliest), the lessee undertakes to purchase at
          its own expense and to maintain throughout the entire period of the
          lease the insurance detailed in the "certification of tenant
          insurance" attached to the present Appendix E as part thereof and
          designated Appendix E-2 (hereinafter "tenant insurance").

     2.4  The lessee undertakes to update the amount of the coverage on account
          of the insurance stated in the "certification of tenant insurance"
          from time to time so that it always reflects the full value, at
          replacement value, of the property insured thereunder.

     2.5  Without a need for any request or application by the lessor and/or the
          management company, the lessee undertakes to convey to the lessor
          and/or the management company, no later than the date of the start of
          the lease or the date of the introduction of any property whatsoever
          to the leased premises, whichever of these two may be earlier,
          confirmation that it has taken out insurance on the leased premises on
          the model of the "certification of tenant insurance" attached to the
          present appendix and labeled Appendix E-2, signed in due legal form by
          the insurer. The lessee states that it is aware that presentation of
          the said "certification of tenant insurance" is a necessary and
          prerequisite condition for the start of any activity by the lessee in
          the leased premises and/or the introduction of any property whatsoever
          to the leased premises as stated above, and the lessor and/or the
          management company shall be entitled to prevent the lessee from
          conducting any activity in the leased premises and/or introducing any
          property as stated in the case that the said certification is not
          submitted to it before the date stipulated above.

     2.6  To avoid any misunderstanding it is made clear that the failure to
          present the above certifications of insurance and insurance policies
          on the date stated above shall not detract from the obligations of the
          lessee under the tenancy agreement, including, and without detracting
          from the generality of what is stated, the execution of any payment
          that devolves on the lessee, and the lessee undertakes to meet all of
          its obligations under the tenancy agreement and management contract
          even if it is prevented from carrying out work and/or receiving
          possession of the leased premises and/or introducing property to the
          leased premises and/or opening its business in the leased premises,
          because of the failure to present the certifications on time.

     2.7  In this context it is made clear that nothing in the taking out of the
          above insurance by the lessee can limit or detract in any fashion
          whatsoever from the lessee's obligation under the tenancy agreement
          and management contract and shall not release it from its obligation
          to compensate the lessor and/or the management company or any person
          whatsoever on account of any damage for which the lessee is liable
          under the tenancy agreement and under the management contract and/or
          by law.

     2.8  The payment of any insurance benefits whatsoever shall have no force
          other than reduce the amount of indemnification or compensation to
          which the lessor and/or the management company may be entitled on
          account of damage or loss.
<PAGE>

     2.9  No later than 14 days before the expiration of the term of the tenant
          insurance, the lessee undertakes to deposit with the lessor and/or the
          management company certification of tenant insurance as stated in
          section 2.5 above on account of the extension of its validity for
          another year.

     2.10 The lessor and/or the management company shall be entitled to examine
          the insurance certificates presented by the lessee as stated above and
          the lessee undertakes to make any change or modification that may be
          required in order to make them compatible with its obligations. The
          lessee declares and undertakes that the rights of the lessor and/or
          the management company to conduct this examination and demand changes
          as stated about do not impose upon the lessor and/or the management
          company or anyone on their behalf any duty or any responsibility
          whatsoever concerning the stated insurance certificates, their nature,
          their scope, and their term of validity, or concerning their absence,
          and nothing in them can detract from any obligation imposed on the
          lessee under the tenancy agreement and the management contract, and
          this whether or not they so requested and whether or not they so
          examined.

     2.11 The lessee undertakes to abide by all conditions of the policies
          mentioned above in the present appendix, to pay the premiums in full
          and on time, and to see to it and to verify that the leased premises
          and tenant insurance policies are renewed from time to time, as
          required, and remain in force throughout the term of the lease.

          Should the lessee fail to meet its obligations under this entire
          appendix, the lessor and/or the management company shall be entitled,
          but not required, to take out the insurance or some portion thereof in
          the place of the lessee and at its expense and/or to pay in its place
          any sum whatsoever, and this without detracting from the right of the
          lessor and/or the management company to any other remedy.

     2.12 The lessee undertakes not to perform and/or allow anyone acting on its
          behalf to commit any act of commission or omission that may tend to
          increase the insurance outlays of the lessor and or the management
          company and/or other lessees on account of insurance of the structure
          or its leased premises.

          The lessee undertakes that to the extent that the lessor and/or the
          management company may be required to make other insurance payments
          beyond the norm on account of activity by the lessee, the lessee shall
          pay to the lessor and/or to the management company, as appropriate,
          the stated supplement immediately upon receipt of the first request to
          do so.

3.   The lessor and/or the management company shall take out the following
     insurance (hereinafter "Company insurance"):

     3.1  Extended fire insurance for the structures of the project. For the
          purposes of this section, the "structures of the project" do not
          include the contents of the tenant's unit and/or any addition, repair,
          modification, renovation, or expansion made to the tenant's unit by
          the lessee or someone acting on its behalf. This insurance shall
<PAGE>

          include a waiver of the right of subrogation vis-a-vis the lessee,
          except in the case of damage caused by the lessee or by anyone acting
          on its behalf with malicious intent ("the tenant's unit" means "the
          leased premises").

     3.2  Insurance against the loss of rent at its full value on account of
          damage that may be caused to the leased premises and/or the project as
          a result of risks that are covered by the property insurance
          enumerated in section 3.1 above. This insurance shall include a waiver
          of the right of subrogation vis-a-vis the lessee, except in the case
          of damage caused by the lessee or by anyone acting on its behalf with
          malicious intent.

     3.3  Third-party liability insurance against bodily damage and/or property
          damage that may be caused outside the area of the units and leased
          premises and that is related to the operation, maintenance, and
          management of the public areas of the project. The insurance shall be
          extended to indemnify the lessee in the event that it is adjudged to
          be responsible for the acts of commission and/or omission of the
          lessor or management company and shall include a cross-liability
          clause.

          This insurance does not cover the separate and unique liability of the
          lessee for damages associated with the leased premises themselves
          and/or associated with the lessee and/or the content of the leased
          premises.

     3.4  Employers' liability insurance to cover liability of the lessor and/or
          the management company vis-a-vis their employees under any law. This
          insurance shall be extended to indemnify the lessee in the event that
          it is adjudged to be the employer of any of the employees of the
          management company and/or the lessor.

     3.5  Additional insurance at the discretion of the lessor and/or at the
          discretion of the management company.

Copies of the "company insurance" policies shall be on file in the offices of
the management company and available for examination by tenants during regular
working hours.
