                  premises, a schedule issued by the organization making the
                  insurance rates on the Building showing the various components

Re-Entry          12. Proviso for re-entry by the Landlord on non-payment or
                  rent or non-performance of covenants.

                  If the Landlord elects to re-enter, as herein provided, or if
                  it takes possession pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant
                  to any notice provided for by law, it may either terminate
                  this Lease or it may from time to time without terminating
                  this lease make such alterations and repairs as may be
                  necessary, in order to relet the leased premises, or any part
                  thereof for such term or terms (which may be for a term or
                  terms extending beyond the Term of this Lease) and at such
                  rental or rentals and upon such other terms and conditions as
                  the Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable; upon
                  each such reletting all rental monies received by the Landlord
                  from such reletting shall be applied, first, to the payment of
                  any indebtedness other than rent ???? hereunder from the
                  Tenant to the Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs
                  and expenses of such reletting, including brokerage fees and
                  solicitors fees and of the costs of such alterations and
                  repairs; third, to the payment of all rentals due and unpaid
                  hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by the
                  Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as the same as
                  the same may become due and payable hereunder. If such rentals
                  received from such reletting during any month shall be less
                  than that to be paid during that month by the Tenant
                  hereunder, the Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to the
                  Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid
                  monthly. No such re-entry or taking possession of the leased
                  premises by the Landlord shall be construed as an election on
                  its part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of
                  such intention be given to the Tenant. Notwithstanding any
                  such reletting without termination, the Landlord may at any
                  time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such
                  previous breach. Should the Landlord at any time terminate
                  this Lease for any breach, in addition to any other remedies
                  it may have, it may recover from the Tenant all damages it has
                  incurred or may incur by reason of such breach, including the
                  cost of recovering the leased premised, reasonable solicitor's
                  fees, and including the worth at the time of such termination
                  of the excess, if any, of the amount of rent and charges
                  equivalent to the rent reserved in this Lease for the
                  remainder of the stated Term over the then reasonable rental
                  value as determined by the Landlord for the remainder or the
                  stated Term, all of which amounts shall be immediately due and
                  payable from the Tenant to the Landlord.

                  rent or any other amounts due under the provisional of this
                  Lease, or, because of the breach of any other covenants herein
                  contained on the part of the Tenant to be kept or performed,
                  and a breach shall be established, the Tenant shall pay to the
                  Landlord all expenses incurred therefor, including a
                  reasonable solicitor's fee.

              premises or any part thereof as the Landlord may reasonable
              consider requisite or necessary. All expenses incurred and
              expenditures made by or on behalf of the Landlord under this
              paragraph 14, plus a sum equal to 15% thereof shall be additional

              Landlord shall have no liability to the Tenant for any loss or
              damage resulting from any such action by the Landlord, and entry
              by the Landlord under the provisions of this paragraph 14 shall
              not constitute a breach of the covenant for quiet enjoyment or an

              Lease shall be in default under any covenant or agreement

              inventory, fixtures, equipment or facilities shall not be removed
              by the Tenant until such default is cured, or as otherwise
              directed by the Landlord.

              16. If the Tenant shall be in default in the payment of any
              amounts or charges required to be paid pursuant to the terms of
              this Lease, they shall, if not paid when due, be collectible as
              rent with the next installment of rent thereafter falling due
              hereunder, but nothing herein contained shall be deemed to suspend

              same becomes due and payable hereunder, or limit any other remedy
              of the Landlord. The Tenant covenants and agrees that the Landlord
              may at its option, apply any sums received from or due to the
              Tenant against any amounts due and payable hereunder in such

         additional sentence:

         "Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Tenant shall not be required to
         effect repairs of a structural nature unless such repairs are
         occasioned by the negligence or willful misconduct of the Tenant".

(b)      Paragraph 8(f) of the Lease is amended as follows:

         (i)      The first sentence is deleted and replaced by the following:

                  "That it shall be lawful for the Landlord and its agent(s) at
                  all reasonable times during the Term to enter the demised
                  premises to inspect the condition thereof upon 24 hours'
                  notice to the Tenant except in the case of an emergency in
                  which case short notice or no prior notice shall be necessary
                  provided the Tenant is advised of any such entry as soon as
                  practicable thereafter."

         (ii)     The second to last sentence of paragraph 8(f) of the Lease is
                  deleted and replaced by the following:

                  "Any repairs or replacements called for by such inspections
                  for which the Tenant is responsible shall be carried out by
                  the Tenant at its own expense and satisfactory evidence of
                  same shall be forwarded to the Landlord. If the
                  recommendations of the aforementioned service company as to
                  proper maintenance and operation of the heating system and
                  other mechanical apparatus have been followed by the Tenant,
                  the Tenant shall not be required to replace said system or
                  equipment, should such action become necessary, during the
                  term hereof or upon termination of this lease."

         (iii)    The following additional sentence is added to paragraph 8(f)
                  of the Lease:

                  Landlord shall be liable to the Tenant for any loss, costs or
                  damage suffered or incurred by the Tenant as a result of the
                  Landlord's negligence or wilful misconduct. The Tenant's
                  liability with respect
   16

         reasonable prior notice" after the word "premises" in line 1.

(f)      Not withstanding any provision of paragraph 19 of the Lease to the

         improvements or additions the Tenant is only able to use a portion of
         the demised premises for any period of time, the rent payable
         hereunder shall abate in substantially the same manner as provided for
