                 to be made hereunder shall not be made more frequently than
                 monthly.  For any calendar month during which Tenant desires
                 to receive an Advance, Tenant shall submit a Draw Request on
                 or before the fifteenth day of such month, and if Tenant
                 submits such Draw Request by such date, then Landlord shall,

                 11.3, 11.4 and 11.5, make the Advance as requested in such

                 the twentieth day of such month is not a LIBOR Business Day
                 ("Advance Date").  The Advances shall be made to parties
                 identified by Tenant, which parties may include Tenant.  At
                 the option of Tenant, Landlord shall make such Advances to one

         5.      Counterparts.  This First Amendment may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all
of which together shall comprise but a single instrument.

hereby, all terms and conditions of the Lease remain in full force and effect.
