          (c)  Section 22 of the Facility Lease is hereby amended
by adding a new paragraph (k) thereto as follows:

                                  (k)     Personal

               Lessor  agree for purposes of  this
               Lease that it is their intent that,
               to    the   extent   permitted   by
