          -------------------------------

          2.1  Fixed Rent.  Three Hundred Sixty-Two Thousand Nine
Hundred Sixty Dollars ($362,960.00).

          4.1  Fixed Rent.  Four Hundred Fifty-Three Thousand
Seven Hundred Dollars ($453,700.00), plus the amount of annual
base rent paid under the Underlying Lease in excess of One
Hundred Nine Thousand Three Hundred Twenty-Two and 45/100 Dollars

Rent shall not be adjusted as a result of any subsequent
modifications of the Underlying Lease.)  For example, if the rent
under the Underlying Lease increased by Fifty Thousand Dollars
