     1. USE OF PREMISES:  Lessee  agrees to use and occupy the Premises only for
the  following  use:  Office/Warehouse/Assembly/Manufacturing  and for no  other
purpose without Lessor's consent.

 2.      POSSESSION AT BEGINNING OF TERM: Improvements to the Premises ("Initial
 Tenant  Improvements") are to be made by Lessor, as described on an addendum to
this  Lease in the  form of a space  plan and  written  specifications  mutually
agreed to by  Lessor  and  Lessee  (the  "Plans  and  Specifications").  If such
improvements to be made by Lessor shall require  further  definition or approval
by Lessee,  Lessee shall give review and approval or disapproval promptly and on
a reasonable basis upon request therefore by Lessor. Lessee shall be responsible
for all  costs,  including  lost  rent,  resulting  from any  delays in  review,
approvals  or  otherwise  caused by Lessee.  Lessor  shall use due  diligence to
complete the Initial Tenant  Improvements and give possession of the Premises as
nearly as possible at the  beginning  of the Term of this lease,  and Rent shall
abate prorata, and the expiration date shall be extended,  for the period of any
delay in so doing  (subject  to force  majeur and  Lessee's  responsibility  for
delays caused by Lessee).  Lessee shall make no other claim  against  Lessor for
any such delay.

 With respect to the Initial Tenant Improvements to the Premises as specified in
the final Plans and Specifications,  Lessor shall indicate,  prior to finalizing
the Plans and  Specifications,  which  improvements,  if any, that Lessee may be
required to remove from the Premises at the  expiration of the Term (as the same
may be extended) of this Lease (the "Removal Initial  Improvements"),  and which
such improvements,  if any, that Lessee may be required to leave at the Premises
at the  expiration  of the Term (as the same may be extended) of this Lease (the
"Forfeited  Initial  Improvements").  Lessee  shall  remove the Removal  Initial
Improvements  prior to the  expiration of the Term unless  notified by Lessor in
writing thirty (30) days prior to such expiration (as the same may be extended),
repairing any damage to the Premises  caused by such removal.  Lessee shall have
no  obligation  to remove any of the  Initial  Tenant  Improvements  made to the
Premises  specified  in the  final  Plans  and  Specifications.  Except  for the
Forfeited  Initial  Improvements,  Lessee  shall  have  the  right,  but not the
obligation,  to remove from the Premises Lessee's  improvements to the Premises,
provided that Lessee repair any damage to the Premises caused by such removal.

 3.  INSURANCE:  Lessee  shall not do or permit  anything  to be done or keep or
permit  anything to be kept in the  Premises  which would  increase  the fire or
other casualty  insurance rate on the Building or the property  therein or which
would  result in insurance  companies  of good  standing to refuse to insure the
Building or any such property on a standard  risk basis.  If use of the Premises
by Lessee so increases  such cost of insurance,  Lessee shall pay such increased
cost to Landlord on demand as Additional Rent, but such demand, or acceptance of
such  payment,  shall not be construed as consent by Lessor to Lessee's such use
or limit Lessor's further remedies under this Lease.

 4.      TAXES, INSURANCE. EXPENSES:

         A. In  addition to all other  amounts  set forth in this Lease,  Lessee
         shall pay to Lessor, as Additional Rent,  Lessee's prorata share of the
         total real estate  taxes  levied on the  Building  and becoming due and
         payable  in each  year of the  Term.  Such  Additional  Rent  shall  be
         prorated to reflect  the actual Term of the Lease  during the first and
         last  Lease  years.  Should  the  State of  Illinois  or any  political
         subdivision   thereof,   or   other   governmental   authority   having
         jurisdiction over the Building, impose a tax, assessment, charge or fee
         or increase any  existing  tax,  assessment  charge or fee which Lessor
         shall be required to pay, either by way of  substitution  for such real
         estate taxes or  otherwise or impose an income or franchise  tax or tax
         on rents in addition to or as a  substitution  for a general tax levied
         against the Building, such taxes, assessments, charges or fees shall be
         deemed  to  constitute  a real  estate  tax  hereunder.  In the case of
         special taxes or assessments which may be payable in installments, only
         the amount of each  Installment  and  interest  thereon  paid  during a
         calendar  year shall be included in taxes for that year.  In  addition,
         Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as additional rent,  Lessee's prorata share
         of  Lessor's  reasonable  costs  and  expenses  (including   reasonable
         attorneys' fees) in contesting or attempting to reduce any taxes.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, real estate taxes shall exclude
         include (a) federal, state or local income,  franchise or estate taxes,
         and (b) interest and penalties  assessed by reason of Lessor's  failure
         to pay such real  estate  taxes  when due.  Lessor  agrees  that if any
         special taxes or assessment  shall be levied  against the Building,  to
         elect to pay such  assessment over the longest period of time permitted
         by law.

         B. Lessee shall also pay to Lessor as Additional  Rent, in each year of
         the Term, Lessee's prorata share of the expenses Incurred by Lessor for
         fire, flood, extended coverage,  rent loss, umbrella,  public liability
         and property damage insurance on the Building in each year of the Term.

                  Such insurance  expenses shall exclude  premiums to the extent
         any unusual Lessee  activity  (other than that caused by Lessee) causes
         Lessor's existing  insurance premiums to increase or requires Lessor to
         purchase additional  insurance,  but only to the extent such additional
         cost can be identified by the insurer.

         C. Lessee will pay to Lessor as further Additional Rent in each year of
         the Term, Lessee's prorata share of ~e costs of operating, maintaining,
         managing,  protecting  and repairing  the Building,  in addition to the
         items  set  forth  in  Subparagraphs  A and  B  above.  Expenses  to be
         reimbursed by Lessee shall be in accordance  with GAAP  Accounting  and
         will include without limitation, gardening and landscaping, repairs and
         replacement  of  building   components,   paving,   curbs,   sidewalks,
         landscaping,  drainage  and  lighting  facilities,  as may from time to
         time, be necessary,  painting,  caulking,  lighting,  sanitary control,
         removal of snow, trash,  rubbish,  garbage and other refuse (related to
         common  areas),  and ten percent (1 0%) of all the  foregoing  costs to
         cover Lessor's  administrative and overhead expenses on the Building in
         each year of the Term.

 Such expenses shall exclude:

     (1)  Expenses  incurred  by Lessor in  connection  with  services  or other
benefits of a type which are not building standard services or benefits provided
to Lessees generally, but which are provided only to specific Lessees;

     (2) Any items to the extent such items are reimbursable to Lessor by Lessee
(other than  through  Additional  Rent),  by other  Lessees or  occupants of the
Building, or by any third parties;

     (3) Salaries of officers and  executives of Lessor not  connected  with the
operation of the Building;
     (4) All costs related to the preparation of any portion of the Building for

agents and employees;

     (6) Advertising and promotional  expenses  associated with the marketing of
vacant space in the Building;

     (7) Costs properly  chargeable to the capital  account,  except for capital
expenditures to the extent they reduce other operating  expenses or such capital
expenditures that are required by changes in any governmental law or regulation,
in which case such  expenditures,  plus  interest on the  unamortized  principal
investment  at ten and one-half  percent  (10.5%) per annum,  shall be amortized
over the life of the improvements and shall be included in Common Area Expenses;

     (8) The cost of  correcting  defects  in the  initial  construction  of the
Building;

     (9) Depreciation and amortization, except to the extent provided above;

     (10) Interest, mortgage charges and real estate taxes;

     (11) Costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in connection with the repair of
damage to the Building or Property caused by fire or other casualty,  insured or
required to be insured against hereunder;

     (12)  The  cost  of  any  item  for  which  Lessor  is  reimbursed  through
condemnation awards;
     (13)  Payments  for rented  equipment,  the cost of which  equipment  would
constitute a capital expenditure if the equipment were purchased; and

     (14) Costs  incurred  due to violation by Lessor or any other tenant of the
Building of any lease or any laws, rules, regulations or ordinances applicable 
to the Building.

         D. It is intended that the Additional  Rent described in  Subparagraphs
         A, B and C above  shall  commence as of the  commencement  of the Lease
         Term  and  shall  be  paid as  nearly  as  possible  in  equal  monthly
         installments  during  the Term of the  Lease.  Accordingly,  Lessor may
         notify Lessee of Lessor's  reasonable  estimate of the amount for which
         Lessee will be  obligated  hereunder  and on the first day of the month
         after Lessor so notifies  Lessee that Additional Rent is due hereunder,
         Lessee  shall pay Lessor a sum equal to 1/1 2 of such  Additional  Rent
         multiplied  by the number of months  which has passed  during the year.
         Thereafter,  Lessee  shall pay  1/12th of such  Additional  Rent on the
         first day of each ensuing month including months in the succeeding year
         until a new  determination  has been made.  Lessor will submit invoices
         and such backup data to Lessee from time to time but not more than once
         each year of the term to substantiate the computation and allocation of
         Additional  Rent, and actual  Additional  Rent shall be reconciled with
         estimated payments after each year of the Lease Term.

         For all purposes of this Lease, Lessee's prorata share shall be 22.74%.

         F. Audit.  Within  sixty (60) days of receipt of notice for  Additional
         Rent  each  year of the  term,  Lessee  shall  have the  right to cause
         Lessor's  determination of Additional Rent to be audited by a certified
         public accountant reasonably acceptable to Lessor. The determination by
         such  accountant  shall be final.  If such audit  shall  indicate  that
         Lessor's  determination  of any of the foregoing is (i) overstated,  or
         (ii)  understated,  then in the case of (i)  Lessor  shall  credit  the
         difference against monthly  installments of Rent next thereafter coming
         due (or  refund the  difference  if the Lease Term has ended and Lessee
         has  no4urther  obligation  to  Lessor),  or in the case of (ii) Lessee
         shall pay to Lessor, as Additional Rent, the amount of such excess. The
         cost of such  audit  shall be paid for by Lessee.  Lessor's  obligation
         under this  Paragraph 4F shall survive the expiration of the Lease Term
         or earlier termination of this Lease.

 5. INDEMNITY AND PUBLIC LIABILITY: Lessee covenants at all times to save Lessor
harmless from all loss,  liability,  cost,  expense or damages that may incur or
which may be claimed  with  respect to any person or  persons,  corporation,  or
property on or about the Premises or resulting  from any act done or omission by
or through the Lessee,  its agents,  employees,  invitees,  or any person on the

or willful  acts and or omissions of Lessor,  or those acting  through  Lessor).
Lessor covenants at all times to save Lessee harmless from all loss,  liability,
costs, expense or damages that may incur or which may be claimed with respect to

certificate  or  certificates   of  insurance,   evidencing  such  insurance  so

which  states that  insurance  shall not be  canceled  except upon not less than

 12.  DAMAGE  BY  CASUALTY:  Throughout  the term of this  Lease,  Lessor  shall
maintain  commercial  property  insurance  policy with a special broad causes of
loss  from  (formerly  known as "all  risk"  insurance)  covering  the  Building
(including the Premises),  with an agreed amount  endorsement,  in an amount not
less than the full  replacement  cost of the  Building,  subject to a  customary
deductible  limit not greater than  $10,000.00.  The proceeds of such  insurance
shall be received in trust and applied to the repair and  reconstruction  of the
Building  (including  repairs  to the  Premises).  In case the  Premises  or the
Building  shall be destroyed or shall be so damaged by fire or other casualty as
to become  untenantable,  then in such event, all rent otherwise  accruing under
this Lease shall  abate  until the damage is  repaired or restored  and, if this
Lease shall be terminated in the manner  provided  below,  from the date of such
damage or destruction  and Lessee shall  immediately  surrender the Premises and
all  interest  therein to Lessor,  and Lessee shall pay Rent only to the time of
such fire or casualty.  Notwithstanding  the above, Lessor shall be obligated to
rebuild the  Building  (including  the  Premises)  to the extent that  insurance
proceeds  (together with the so-called  "deductible") will cover the cost of the
rebuilding  and  restoration.  In the event  Lessor has not  started  rebuilding
within  three (3) months of damage or  completed  construction  within seven (7)
months of damage,  Lessee,  at Lessee's  option,  may cancel this Lease provided
such damage was not caused by Lessee.  In case this Lease is not so  terminated,
this Lease shall  continue in full force and effect and the Lessor  shall repair
the Building and the Premises with all reasonable  promptness,  placing the same
in as good a  condition  as they were at the time of the damage or  destruction,
and for that purpose may enter said Premises. In such event, rent shall abate in
proportion  to the extent and  duration  of  untenantability.  In either  event,
Lessee shall remove all rubbish, debris, merchandise,  furniture,  equipment and
other of its personal  property,  within ten (10) days or less after the request
of the Lessor.  If the Premises  shall be but slightly  injured by fire or other
casualty,  so as not to render the same  untenantable  and unfit for  occupancy,
then the Lessor shall  repair the same with all  reasonable  promptness,  and in
that case the rent shall not abate. No compensation or claim shall be made by or
allowed to the Lessee by reason of any  inconvenience or annoyance  arising from
the necessity of repairing any portion of the Building or the Premises,  however
this necessity may occur.  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary  herein set
forth,  but provided that Lessor  maintains the  insurance  required  under this
Paragraph 1 2, Lessor  shall not be  obligated to repair or restore the Premises
or the Building if the damage or destruction is due to an uninsured  casualty or
to the extent that any  Mortgagee  applies  proceeds of  insurance to reduce its
loan  balance  and  the  remaining   proceeds   available  to  Lessor  plus  the
"deductible"  amount and any self insured  amounts are not sufficient to pay for
such repair or restoration.

 13. PERSONAL PROPERTY: Lessor shall not be liable for any loss or damage to any
merchandise,  fixtures,  equipment  or personal  property of Lessee or any other
party in or about the  Premises,  regardless of the cause of such loss or damage
and shall not be required  to repair or replace  such  personal  property in the
event of a casualty  loss.  Lessee will  maintain  insurance  on all property of
Lessee  and any other  party  which at any time is at or in the  Premises,  such
insurance  to be for the full value of such  property and to include a waiver of
all rights,  including subrogation,  against Lessor and its agents and employees
for damage to such property

 14.  ALTERATIONS:  Lessee shall not make any  alterations or additions in or to
the Premises, without the prior written consent of Lessor not to be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned.  At the time Lessor grants its consent, Lessor
shall indicate which such  alterations,  additions or improvements,  if any that
Lessee may be required to remove from the Premises at the  expiation of the Term
(as the same may be extended)  of this Lease (the  "Removal  Alterations"),  and
which such  alterations,  additions or  improvements,  if any that Lessee may be
required to leave at the Premises at the expiration of the Term (as the same may
be extended) of this Lease (the  "Forfeited  Alterations").  Lessee shall remove
the Removal  Alterations  prior to the expiration of the Term unless notified by
Lessor  in  writing  30 days  prior  to such  expiration  (as  the  same  may be
extended),  repairing any damage to the Premises caused by such removal.  Lessee
shall  surrender the Forfeited  Alterations  to Lessor at the  expiration of the
Term or earlier termination of this Lease.  Except for the Removal  Alterations,
Lessee  shall  have no  obligation  to  remove  any  alterations,  additions  or
improvements  made during the Term (as the same may be  extended) of this Lease,
to which Lessor has given its  consent.  Except for the  Forfeited  Alterations,
Lessee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remove from the Premises
alterations, additions and improvements made during the Term (as the same may be
extended) of this Lease,  provided that Lessee repair any damage to the Premises
caused by such  removal.  Lessor  agrees  that  Lessee  shall  have the right to
install a  security  system in the  Premises  and a  concrete  pad and  security
fencing on the exterior of the Building to house gas (non-fuel) tanks for use in
Lessee's business subject to Landlord reasonable approval.

 15.  UTILITIES AND SERVICES:  Lessee shall obtain and pay for all  electricity,
gas, water,  fuel and any services or utilities used in or assessed  against the
Premises  including,  but not  limited  to, any charges for the burglar and fire
monitoring  systems  which  shall  include  line  and  installation   charge  if
necessary, unless otherwise herein expressly provided.

 16. PUBLIC  REQUIREMENTS:  Lessee shall, at its own cost and expense,  promptly
and properly  observe,  comply with and execute,  all present and future orders,
regulations,  directions,  rules,  laws,  ordinances  and  requirements  of  all
Governmental authorities, (included but not limited to, State, Municipal, County
and Federal Governments and their departments,  bureaus, boards, and officials),
and shall comply with Loss  Control  Requirements  issued by Lessor's  insurance
company(ies),  affecting the Premises and Lessee's use thereof,  and save Lessor
harmless from expense or damage resulting from failure to do so. Notwithstanding
the  foregoing,   Lessee  shall  have  no  obligation  to  make  alterations  or
improvements  to the Premises as a result of the foregoing  unless required as a
result of Lessee's unique use of the Premises.

 17.  CONDUCT OF  OPERATIONS:  Lessee agrees to conduct its business in a manner
that will not be objectionable to other tenants in the Building including noise,
vibration,  odor,  or  fumes.  In the event  Lessor  determines  that  Lessee is
conducting  its  operations  in a  manner  so as to be  objectionable  to  other
tenants,  Lessee agrees, upon notice from Lessor, to promptly modify the conduct
of its operations to eliminate such objectionable operations.

 1 8. FIXTURES:  Subject to the rights and obligations contained in paragraphs 2
and  14,  all  buildings,   repairs,   alterations,   additions,   improvements,
installations,  and any other  fixtures used in the operation of the Premises or
Building (as distinguished  from operations  incident to the business of Lessee)
shall belong to Lessor and remain and be surrendered with the Premises as a part
thereof  at the  expiration  of this  Lease  or any  extension  thereof.  All of
Lessee's  trade  fixtures  and  all  personal  property,  fixtures,   apparatus,
machinery and equipment,  now or hereafter located upon the Premises, other than
Building fixtures as defined above, shall be and remain the personal property of
Lessee and the same are herein  referred to as  "Lessee's  Equipment".  Lessee's
Equipment  may be removed  from time to time by Lessee;  provided,  that if such
removal shall injure or damage the Premises,  Lessee shall repair the damage and
place the Premises in the same condition as it would have been if such equipment
had not been installed.

 1 9. EMINENT DOMAIN:  If the Premises or any substantial  part thereof shall be
taken by any  competent  authority  under  the  power of  eminent  domain  or be
acquired for any public or quasi-public  use or purpose,  the Term of this Lease
shall cease upon the date when the possession of Premises or the part thereof so
taken shall be required  for such use,  and Lessee  shall have no claim  against
Lessor  for the value of any  unexpired  term of this  lease,  nor shall  Lessee
participate in any award. If any condemnation  proceeding shall be instituted in
which it is sought to take any part of Lessor's Building or the land under it or
if the grade of any street or alley  adjacent to the  Building is changed by any
competent  authority and such change of grade makes it necessary or desirable to
remodel  the  Building to conform to the changed  grade,  Lessor  shall have the
right to cancel this lease after having given written notice of  cancellation to
Lessee  not less  than  ninety  (90)  days  prior  to the  date of  cancellation
designated  in the notice.  In either of said  events,  rent at the then current
rate shall be  apportioned  as of the date Lessee shall cease to have use of the
Premises.  No money or other consideration shall be payable by the Lessor to the
Lessee for the right of cancellation and the Lessee shall have no right to share
in the condemnation award or in any judgment for damages caused by the taking or
the change of the grade. Nothing in this paragraph shall preclude an award being
made to Lessee for loss of  business or  depreciation  to and cost of removal of
equipment or fixtures or Lessee's  cost of moving,  provided  that such award to
Lessee would not reduce the award that would otherwise be payable to Lessor.

 20.  WAIVER  OF  SUBROGATION:  Lessor  and  Lessee  agree  to have all fire and
extended coverage insurance which may be carried by either of them endorsed with
a clause  providing  that any release  from  liability of or waiver of claim for
recovery from the other party entered into in writing by the insured  thereunder
prior to any loss or damage  shall not affect the validity of said policy or the
right of the insured  thereunder to recover therefrom and providing further that
the  insurer  waives all rights of  subrogation  which such  insured  might have
against the other party.  Without limiting any release or waiver of liability or
recovery   contained  in  any  other  section  of  this  Lease,  but  rather  in
confirmation and furtherance thereof, Lessor waives all claims for recovery from
Lessee  and  Lessee  waives  all claims  for  recovery  from  Lessor,  and their
respective  agents,  partners,  officers and employees for any loss or damage to
any of their respective  property insured under valid and collectible  insurance
policies or which would have been so insured if insurance required by this Lease
had been properly maintained.

 21.  DEFAULT  AND  REMEDIES:  In the event:  (a)  Lessee  fails to pay any Rent
(whether Base Rent or Additional  Rent or any other sum due  hereunder),  within
five (5) days after  written  notice from Lessor  provided  however after second
such notice  within a twelve (1 2) month period  during the term, no such notice
will be required  from  Lessor;  (b) Lessee fails to comply with any other term,
provision,  condition  or  covenant  of this lease for  fifteen (1 5) days after
notice  thereof  specifying  the items in default or  additional  time as may be
reasonably  necessary  provided  Lessee  shall have  commenced  cure within such
fifteen (1 5) day  period  and is  diligently  completing  the same;  (c) Lessee
abandons or vacates the Premises; (d) any petition is filed by or against Lessee
under any section or chapter of the Federal Bankruptcy Code as amended, or under
any similar law or statute of the United States or any state thereof (and in the
case of a petition filed against Lessee,  the same shall not be dismissed within
forty-five  (45) days after  written  notice from  Lessor);  (e) Lessee  becomes
insolvent  or makes a  transfer  in fraud of  creditors;  (f)  Lessee  makes any
assignment  for benefit of creditors;  or (g) a receiver is appointed for Lessee
or any of the  assets of  Lessee,  and the same  shall not be  dismissed  within
forty-five  (45) days after  written  notice  from  Lessor,  then in any of such
events  Lessee shall be in default  and,  Lessor shall have the option to do any
one or more of the  following in addition to and not in  limitation of any other
remedy  permitted by law; to enter upon the Premises or any part thereof  either
with or without the process of law,  and to expel,  remove and put out Lessee or
any other  persons who might be thereon,  together  with all  personal  property
found  therein;  and,  Lessor  may  terminate  this  Lease  or it  may,  without
terminating  this Lease,  terminate  Lessee's  right to possession and relet the
Premises  or any part  thereof  for such term or terms  (which may be for a term
extending  beyond the Term of this lease) and at such rental or rentals and upon
such  other  terms and  conditions  as Lessor  in its sole  discretion  may deem
advisable, with the right to repair, renovate,  remodel,  redecorate,  alter and
change the Premises. At the option of Lessor, rents received by Lessor from such
reletting shall be applied first to the payment of any indebtedness  from Lessee
to Lessor  other than Rent due  hereunder;  second,  to payment of any costs and
expenses of such  reletting  including,  but not limited  to,  attorney's  fees,
advertising  fees and brokerage  fees,  alterations and changes in the Premises;
third,  to the payment of Rent due and payable  hereunder and interest  thereon,
and if after  applying  said  rentals  there is any  deficiency  in the Rent and
interest  to be paid by  Lessee  under  this  lease,  Lessee  shall pay any such
deficiency to Lessor and such  deficiency  shall be calculated  and collected by
Lessor monthly.  No such re-entry or taking possession of said Premises shall be
construed  as an election  of Lessor's  part to  terminate  this Lease  unless a
written  notice of such intention is given to Lessee.  Notwithstanding  any such
reletting  without  termination,  Lessor  may at any  time  thereafter  elect to
terminate this Lease for such previous breach and default.

         Should  Lessor  at any time  terminate  this  Lease as a result  of any
default of Lessee  hereunder,  in addition to any other remedy  Lessor may have,
Lessor may recover from Lessee a sum,  which at the time of such  termination of
this Lease,  represents  the then present  value of the excess of the  aggregate
amount of Base Rent and all  Additional  Rent under  Article 4 which  would have
been payable by Lessee  (conclusively  presuming the average monthly  Additional
Rent under  Article 4 to be the same as if it where  payable for the year, or if
less than 365 days have lapsed since the commencement of this Lease, the partial
year,  immediately  preceding such  termination) for the period  commencing with
such  termination  of this Lease and ending  with the date  contemplated  as the
expiration  date hereof,  as if this Lease had not so terminated,  over the fair
market  rental value (as  reasonably  determined  by Lessor) of the Premises for
such  period.  Lessor  shall have the right to seek redress in the courts at any
time to correct or remedy any  default  of Lessee by  injunction  or  otherwise,
without such action  constituting  or being deemed a termination  of this Lease,
and Lessor,  whether this Lease has been or is terminated or not, shall have the
absolute  right by court  action or  otherwise to collect any and all amounts of
unpaid Rent or any other sums due from  Lessee to Lessor  under this lease which
were or are unpaid at the date of  termination.  In case it should be  necessary
for Lessor to bring any action  under this  Lease,  to consult  with an attorney
concerning or for the enforcement of any Lessor's rights  hereunder,  the Lessee
agrees in each and every such case to pay to Lessor reasonable attorney's fees.

 22.     SECURITY DEPOSIT:

         A. Concurrently with its execution of this Lease,  Lessee shall deliver
         to Lessor $11,375.00 as security for the performance by Lessee of every
         covenant and  condition of this Lease by Lessee to be  performed.  Said
         deposit may be commingled with other funds of Lessor, and shall bear no
         interest.  If Lessee  shall  default  with  respect to any  covenant or
         condition of this Lease, including,  but not limited to, the payment of
         any sum due hereunder, then Lessor may use such portion of the security
         deposit as is necessary to cure such default.  In the event,  Lessor so
         uses the security deposit in part or in whole,  Lessee will restore the
         security  deposit to the  required  amount upon notice of said  default
         plus a processing fee of $50.00 for each incident. Should Lessee comply
         with all of the  covenants and  conditions of this Lease,  the security
         deposit  or any  balance  thereof  shall be  returned  to Lessee at the
         expiration  of the Term  thereof.  The  security  deposit  shall not be
         deemed an advanced  payment of Rent or measure of Lessor's  damages for
         any default hereunder by Lessee.

         B.  Notwithstanding  anything  to the  contrary  herein,  the base Rent
         payable for the first month of the term shall be due and paid to Lessor
         upon Lessee's execution hereof.

 23. WAIVER:  The rights and remedies of the Lessor under this Lease, as well as
those  provided  or  accorded  by law,  shall be  cumulative,  and none shall be
exclusive of any other rights or remedies  hereunder allowed by law. A waiver by
Lessor of any breach or breaches,  default or defaults of Lessee hereunder shall
not be deemed or construed  to be a continuing  waiver of such breach or default
nor a waiver of or permission,  for any subsequent breach or default,  and it is
agreed that the acceptance by Lessor of any  installment  of Rent  subsequent to
the date the same should have been paid  hereunder,  shall in no manner alter or
affect the covenant and obligation of Lessee to pay subsequent  installments  of
Rent promptly upon the due date thereof. No receipt of money by Lessor after the
termination  in any way of this Lease  shall  reinstate,  continue or extend the
Term. Lessee hereby expressly waives, so far as permitted by law, the service of
any notice of  intention to re-enter  provided for in any statute,  except as is
herein otherwise provided.

 24. NOTICES: Any notice hereunder shall be sufficient if personally  delivered,
sent by recognized courier or sent by certified mail, addressed to Lessee at the
Premises,
     Attn:  Sid Bennett  with copies to: KVH  Industries,  Inc.,  50  Enterprise
Center, Middletown, R.l. 02842,

     Attn: Chief Financial  Officer and Foley, Hoag & Eliot LLP, One Post Office
Square, Boston, MA 02109, Attn: Paul R. Murphy, Esq. and to Lessor where Rent is
payable.  The effective date of such notice shall be upon delivery if personally
served,  one (1) day after  delivery to a courier if served by courier and three
(3) days after  delivery  of same to the United  States Post Office if served by
mail.

 25. SUBORDINATI9N: In the event Lessor holds title to the Premises by virtue of
a lease, then this shall be deemed a sublease and shall remain subject to all of
the terms and conditions of such underlying lease, so far as shall be applicable
to the Premises herein leased.  This Lease shall also be subject and subordinate
to any existing or future  mortgage or deed of trust placed upon the Premises or
the  Building.  Lessee  hereby  agrees to execute  from time to time any and all
instruments  in  writing  provided  that  Lessee  shall  receive a  commercially
reasonable  non-disturbance  agreement from a future ground Lessor or mortgagee,
which may be requested by Lessor to subordinate Lessee's rights under this lease
to the lien of any such  mortgage or deed of trust.  Lessee  agrees to attorn to
any ground  Lessor,  mortgagee or other lien holder  which  succeeds to Lessor's
interest under this Lease.

 26.  SUCCESSORS:  The provisions,  covenants and conditions of this Lease shall
bind and inure to the benefit of the legal  representatives,  heirs,  successors
and  assigns  of each of the  parties  hereto,  except  that  no  assignment  or
subletting by Lessee without the written  consent of Lessor shall vest any right
in the assignee or sublessee of the Lessee.  When used herein  Lessor shall mean
the party  which is from time to time the  Lessor  under  this  Lease,  and upon
transfer of the interest  hereunder of a Lessor,  such transferor  shall have no
further liabilities  hereunder.  Lessor shall have no personal liability for any
agreements or obligations  under this Lease,  all such personal  liability being
waived by Lessee on behalf of Lessee and every  party  claiming  by,  through or
under it. All liability of Lessor,  if any,  shall be satisfied  only out of and
against Lessor's interest in the Premises and Building.

 27. QUIET POSSESSION:  Lessor agrees that so long as Lessee fully complies with
all of the terms,  covenants and conditions herein contained on Lessee's part to
be kept and performed, Lessee shall and may peaceably and quietly have, hold and
enjoy  the  Premises  during  the term  hereof  without  such  possession  being
disturbed or interfered  with by Lessor or by any person claiming by, through or
under Lessor.

 28.  BANKRUPTCY:  Neither  this Lease nor any  interest  therein nor any estate
hereby  created  shall pass to any trustee or receiver in  bankruptcy  or to any
other  receiver or assignee  for the benefit of creditors by operation of law or
otherwise during the Term of this Lease or any renewal thereof.

 29. ENTIRE  AGREEMENT:  This Lease  contains the entire  agreement  between the
parties,  and no  modification  of this Lease shall be binding  upon the parties
unless  evidenced by an agreement in writing signed by the Lessor and the Lessee
after  the date  hereof.  If there be more than one  Lessee  named  herein,  the
provisions  of this lease shall be  applicable to and binding upon such Lessees,
jointly and severally.

 30. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE BY LESSEE:  Lessee agrees at any time and from time to
time,  upon not less than ten (10) days prior  written  request  by  Lessor,  to
execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessor a statement in writing certifying (i)
that this  Lease is  unmodified  and in full  force and effect (or if there have
been  modifications  that the same is in full force and effect as modified,  and
stating the modifications),  (ii) the date to which the rental and other charges
have been paid in advance, if any, (iii) that Lessor is not in default under any
term of this Lease (or if any default  exists,  Lessee will  specify),  and (iv)
that  Lessee  is in  possession  of  the  Premises  and  containing  such  other
information  or agreements as may be requested,  it being intended that any such
statement  delivered  pursuant  to this  paragraph,  may be  relied  upon by any
prospective  purchaser of the fee, or mortgagee or assignee of any mortgage upon
the fee, of the Premises.

 31.  FINANCIAL   INFORMATION:   Lessee  shall  provide   reasonable   financial
information  concerning  Lessee and ~s  operations,  upon request of Lessor from
time to time, in connection with any proposed financing or sale by Lessor.

 32.  ENCUMBRANCES:  Lessee  shall not  perform  any act which  shall in any way
encumber the title of Lessor in and to the Premises or the  Building,  nor shall
the  interest or estate of Lessor in the  Premises or the Building be in any way
subject to any claim by way of lien or encumbrance,  whether by operation of law
or by virtue of any express or implied contract by Lessee. Any claim to, or lien
upon,  the Premises or the  Building  arising from any act or omission of Lessee
shall  accrue only against the  leasehold  estate of Lessee and shall be subject
and  subordinate  to the  paramount  title  and  rights  of Lessor in and to the
Premises or the Building.  Should the Premises or the Building become subject to
any mechanics,  laborers' or materialmen's  lien on account of labor or material
furnished  to Lessee or claimed to have been  furnished  to Lessee,  Lessee will
promptly pay same or cause the same to be released.

 33. HOLDING OVER: In the event of a holding over by Lessee after  expiration of
termination  of this Lease without the consent in writing of the Lessor,  Lessee
shall be deemed a Lessee at sufferance and shall pay as liquidated damages, 1 50
% of Rent for the entire holdover period and any consequential  damages incurred
by Lessor as a result of such holdover.

 34. COMMON AREAS: Lessee agrees to conform with any uniformly applied rules and
regulations  Lessor may establish  from time to time in  connection  with common
areas, including those concerning the parking area and driveways.

 35.  JANITORIAL  SERVICE AND GARBAGE  REMOVAL:  Lessee at its own expense shall
provide its own janitorial service and garbage removal.  Lessee shall not permit
the undue  accumulation  of debris in the  Premises  or in any area  immediately
adjoining the Premises.
Dumpsters will be stored within the Premises prior to and immediately  following
trash removal.

 36. LATE CHARGE:  Lessee will pay to Lessor a late charge of ten percent  (10%)
as  Additional  Rent on any amount owing to Lessor  hereunder  which is not paid
when due. The late charge will represent a fair and  reasonable  estimate of the
additional cost and expenses Lessor will incur because of Lessee's late payment.

 37.  SURRENDER  OF  POSSESSION:  Upon the  expiration  of the  term or  earlier
termination of this Lease, whether by forfeiture, lapse of time or otherwise, or
upon termination of Lessee's right to possession of the Premises, Lessee will at
once surrender and deliver the Premises,  together with all improvements thereon
not removed by Lessee to Lessor  broom clean in the same  order,  condition  and
repair, as on the commencement date (or put in during the term), reasonable wear
and tear and loss due
 to fire or  other  casualty  for  which  Lessee  is not  responsible  hereunder
excepted.  "Broom  Clean" means free from all debris,  dirt,  rubbish,  personal
property of Lessee,  oil, grease,  tire tracks or other  substances,  inside and
outside the  Building  and on the grounds  comprising  the Premises and with all
lighting fixtures in working order.

         Upon termination,  Lessee may remove Lessee's  Equipment,  provided any
damage  caused by  removal of Lessee  from the  Premises,  including  any damage
caused by  removal  of  Lessee's  Equipment  shall be  repaired  and paid for by
Lessee. In the event Lessee does not remove Lessee's  Equipment and all Lessee's
personal  property from the Premises within a reasonable time, then, at Lessor's
option,  Lessee  shall be  conclusively  presumed to have  conveyed  the same to
Lessor under this Lease as a bill of sale without  further  payment or credit by
Lessor to Lessee and Lessor may remove the same and Lessee shall pay the cost of
such  removal to Lessor  upon  demand;  [avoid,  however,  Lessee  shall have no
obligation  to remove  alterations,  additions or  improvements  to the Premises
other than those that are required to be removed by Lessee pursuant to paragraph
2 and  paragraph  1 4 herein,  or to restore  the Premise at the end of the term
except as provided herein.

 38.  ENVIRONMENTAL  MATTERS:  Lessee  agrees that it will use,  handle,  treat,
transport, store and dispose of any Hazardous Materials (as hereinafter defined)
in accordance  with the  requirements  of all applicable  laws and  regulations,
(collectively   "Environmental  Laws"),  including,   without  limitation,   the
Occupational  Safety & Health Act, as amended,  29 U.S.C. 651 et seq. ("OSHAt'),
the Comprehensive  Environmental Response & Liability Act, as amended, 42 U.S.C.
#9601 et seq. ("CERCLA"), the Resources Conservation & Recovery Act, as amended,
42  U.S.C.   #9601  et  seq.   ("RCRA")  and  the   Superfund   Amendments   and
Reauthorization  Act,  as amended,  42 U.S.C.  #9671 et seq.  ("SARA")  and will
transport  such  Materials  in  accordance  with  Department  of  Transportation
Hazardous  Materials  Table,  as  amended  49 C.F.R.  172.101  et seq.  The term
"Hazardous Materials", when used herein, shall include, but shall not be limited
to,  any  substances,  materials  or  wastes  that are  regulated  by any  local
governmental authority,  the state where the demised Premises is located, or the
United  States of America  because of toxic,  flammable,  explosive,  corrosive,
reactive,  radioactive or other properties that may be hazardous to human health
or the environment, Including asbestos and including any materials or substances
that are listed in the United  States  Department  of  Transportation  Hazardous
Materials  Table,   CERCLA,   RCRA,  OSHA  and  SARA  or  any  other  applicable
governmental  regulation  imposing  liability or standards of conduct concerning
any  hazardous,  toxic  or  dangerous  substances,  waste  or  material,  now or
hereafter in effect.

 39.  BROKERS:  Lessee  represents that Lessee has dealt with only CB Commercial
and Colliers,  Bennett & Kahnweiler in connection  with this Lease  transaction.
Lessee covenants to pay, hold harmless and indemnify Lessor from and against any
and all costs, expense or liability for any compensation, commissions or charges
claimed by any other broker or agent with  respect to this Lease  arising out of
any acts of Lessee.

 40.  TENANT  IMPROVEMENT  ALLOWANCE:  Lessor will provide  Lessee with a Tenant
improvement  allowance of $206,811 .00/RSF (the "Tenant Improvement  Allowance")
as a contribution  toward the cost (the "Construction  Costs") of completing the
Initial Tenant Improvements to the Premises.  The Construction Costs shall equal
the sum of all actual costs (all of which shall be  documented  and  verifiable)
incurred by Lessor in connection  with the  construction  of the Initial  Tenant
Improvements. All Construction Costs shall be at prices that are consistent with
arms'  length  market  rates,  and Lessor  shall  complete  the  Initial  Tenant
Improvements using qualified subcontractors,  all of whom shall be competitively
bid, with the  contracts  being  awarded to the lowest  qualified  bidder unless
otherwise  agreed by Lessee.  Prior to  beginning  construction  on the  Initial
Tenant  improvements,  Lessor agrees to provide  Lessee with  projections of the
Construction Costs, and to periodically update the same. The Construction Costs,
in excess of the Tenant Improvement  Allowance,  plus a fee equal to ten percent
(10%) of the  Construction  Costs  (exclusive of  engineering,  design and other
"soft" costs) and Lessor's general condition costs (as set forth in the addendum
attached  hereto  which  shall  not be in  excess of  general  conditions  costs
reasonable and customary for the work being  performed)  shall be paid by Lessee
to Lessor  within  fifteen (1 5) days after  receipt of an invoice  from  Lessor
together with reasonable  substantiating  documentation reasonably acceptable to
Lessee.

     41.  LESSEE'S  ACCESS.  Lessee shall have access to the Premises  seven (7)
days per week, twenty-four (24) hours per day.

 42.  OPTION TO  EXTEND.  So long as Lessee is not in  default  under this Lease
beyond applicable cure periods. Lessee shall have two (2) consecutive options to
extend the Term of this Lease for a period of five (5) years  each,  exercisable
by written notice to Lessor  delivered not less than twelve (12) months prior to
the  expiration  of the then  current  Term of this Lease.  The Base Rent during
either  such  extension  period  shall be the then  prevailing  market  rate for
comparable  space in the market place,  inclusive of all  inducements and tenant
improvements  then  available.  If Lessor and Lessee  shall not be able to agree
upon a Base Rent for such  extension  period  within 60 days after  Lessee shall
have delivered to Lessor its extension notice,  then Lessee shall have the right
to withdraw such extension notice, and the Term of the Lease shall expire on the
date originally set forth in the Lease.

 43.  OPTION TO  CANCEL.  So long as Lessee is not in  default  under this lease
beyond  applicable cure periods.  Lessee shall have the option to terminate this
Lease  effective  anytime  after the  sixtieth  (60th) month of the Term of this
Lease,  exercisable by written  notice to Lessor  delivered not less than twelve
(12) months prior to the  effective  date of such  notice.  Upon the date of the
delivery of written notice of the termination of this Lease, Lessee shall pay to
Lessor a  termination  fee equal to the  unamortized  portion  of any  brokerage
commission and the tenant  improvement  allowance provided pursuant to paragraph
40  herein  plus four (4)  months  of the then  existing  Base  Rent,  whereupon
obligations  of Lessee and  Lessor  hereunder  shall  cease,  this  lease  shall
terminate and be of no further force and effect.

 44. RIGHT OF NOTICE. In the event Lessor receives an inquiry from a third party
for the lease of any space in the Building  which is  contiguous to the Premises
which Lessor  considers to be an inquiry that could lead to a lease and provided
Lessee is no  currently  in  default  under this Lease  beyond  applicable  cure
periods,  Lessor  will notify  Lessee that such  inquiry has been made and allow
Lessee  a  period  (as is  determined  to be  reasonable  by  Lessor  under  the
circumstances,  but which will not delay  negotiations with such third party) to
discuss the  leasing of  contiguous  space by Lessee.  The terms of any lease of
contiguous space to Lessee shall be such terms, if any, as Lessor and Lessee may

the event of an  emergency),  Lessee may  perform  such  obligations  and charge
Lessor for all  reasonable  cost and expenses  incurred in connection  therewith

days after demand by Lessee  accompanied by copies of  appropriate  invoices and

Landlord,  dated  January  30, 1998 (as the same have been or may be modified or

B.  Mortgagee  is making a loan (the  "Loan") to Landlord  which is secured,  in
part, by the lien of a Mortgage and Security Agreement executed and delivered by

     C. As a condition to making the Loan,  Mortgagee  requires the execution of
this Agreement.

                                   AGREEMENT:

NOW,  THEREFORE,  in consideration  of the covenants  contained herein and other
good and valuable consideration,  the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereby covenant and agree as follows:

         1.  Tenant  has   delivered  or  identified  in  writing  to  Mortgagee
         concurrently  herewith a true,  correct and complete copy of the Lease.
         Landlord  and  Tenant  each  agree not to amend or modify the Lease or,
         except as specifically  permitted in the Lease, accept a termination of
         the Lease without the prior  written  consent of the  Mortgagee,  which
         consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and that no such amendment,
         modification or termination  (except as  specifically  permitted in the
         Lease) will be effective  as against  Mortgagee  or its  successors  or
         assigns without such consent.


         2. The Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of the
         Mortgage   and  to   all   renewals,   modifications,   consolidations,
         replacements,  and  extensions  thereof,  to  the  full  extent  of the
         principal  sum secured by the Mortgage,  all interest  accrued and from
         time to time unpaid  thereon and any other amounts  required to be paid
         by the  terms of the  Mortgage  and the  instruments  secured  thereby,
         unless  Mortgagee  elects to  subordinate  the  Mortgage  to the Lease.
         Tenant will in no event  subordinate or agree to subordinate  the Lease
         to any lien or  encumbrance  affecting  the Real Estate or the Premises
         other  than  the  Mortgage  without  the  express  written  consent  of
         Mortgagee,  and  any  such  attempted  subordination  or  agreement  to
         subordinate  without such consent of Mortgagee  shall be void and of no
         force and effect.

         3.  Tenant  agrees  that from and after the date hereof in the event of
         any act or omission by Landlord under the Lease which would give Tenant
         the right,  either  immediately or after the lapse of a period of time,
         to terminate the Lease, or to claim a partial or total eviction, Tenant
         will not exercise any such right (a) until it has given written  notice
         of such act or omission to Mortgagee in accordance  with the provisions
         of Section 8 hereof,  and, until and unless  Mortgagee  fails to remedy
         such act or omission  within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant's
         notice for any act or omission  involving the payment of money or which
         can  reasonably be remedied  within said thirty (30) day period,  or in
         the case of any  other  act or  omission  which  cannot  reasonably  be
         remedied within said thirty (30) days period, then Mortgagee shall have
         as long as necessary to remedy such act or omission  (but not more than
         60 days)  provided  (i)  Mortgagee  commences  such remedy and notifies
         Tenant  within  said thirty  (30) day period of  Mortgagee's  desire to
         remedy,  and (ii) Mortgagee pursues  completion of such remedy with due
         diligence  following  such giving of notice and following the time when
         Mortgagee  shall have become  entitled under the Mortgage to remedy the
         same. It is specifically agreed that Tenant shall not, as to Mortgagee,
         be entitled to require  cure of any such  default  which is personal to
         Landlord, and therefore not susceptible of cure by Mortgagee,  and that
         no such uncured  default  shall  entitle  Tenant to exercise any rights
         under the Lease with respect to Mortgagee, including without limitation
         any rights of set-off, off-set, rent abatement or termination, but that
         the Lease  shall  remain in full force and effect as between  Mortgagee
         and Tenant except with respect to the provisions  which are personal as
         to Landlord.

         4. Tenant  agrees that  neither  the  occurrence  of any default in the
         Mortgage, the institution of proceedings to foreclose the lien thereof,
         the taking of possession  by Mortgagee or by any receiver  appointed in
         any foreclosure  proceedings,  the entry of a foreclosure  decree,  the
         sale of the Real Estate pursuant to such decree, the issuance of a deed
         to the  purchaser  at any such sale nor the  issuance  of a deed of the
         Real Estate in lieu of foreclosure or in settlement of amount due under
         the Mortgage will affect any obligation of Tenant under the Lease.

         5. Tenant  understands  that  Landlord has  executed  and  delivered to
         Mortgagee an  assignment of the  Landlord's  interests in the leases of
         the  Real  Estate,  including  the  Lease.  Under  the  terms  of  such
         assignment,  Landlord has agreed that Tenant is entitled to rely on any
         notices  or demands  from  Mortgagee  to make  payments  to  Mortgagee,
         without any  liability or any duty of inquiry on the part of the Tenant
         regarding   whether   Landlord  is  in  default   under  the  Mortgage.
         Accordingly,  Tenant further agrees that upon receipt of written notice
         from Mortgagee of any uncured default by Landlord under the Mortgage or
         the Note  secured by the  Mortgage,  all checks and payments for all or
         any part of the  rentals  and other sums  payable  by Tenant  under the
         Lease  shall  be  delivered  to and  drawn  to the  exclusive  order of
         Mortgagee  until Mortgagee or a court of competent  jurisdiction  shall
         otherwise direct.

         6. In the event Mortgagee should foreclose the Mortgage, Mortgagee will
         not join Tenant as a party  defendant in any  foreclosure  proceedings,
         unless  Tenant  (and  only to the  extent  Tenant)  is  deemed  to be a
         necessary part, for so long as Tenant is not in default under the Lease
         beyond any applicable time period with respect to grace or cure. In the
         event  Tenant  defaults  under the Lease,  and such  default  continues
         beyond any  applicable  time period with respect to grace or cure,  the
         obligations  of Mortgagee  under this Section 6 shall,  at  Mortgagee's
         election, become null and void, and Mortgagee may proceed to extinguish
         the  Lease  and all of  Tenant's  rights  and  interests  in and to the
         Premises through foreclosure of the Mortgage.






         7. So long as Tenant shall not be in default under the Lease beyond any
         applicable  grace or cure  period,  (a)  Mortgagee  shall  not  disturb
         Tenant's possession of the Premises, and, in the event Mortgagee or any
         designee,  successor,  or  purchaser of the Real Estate (or any portion
         thereof which shall include the Premises) through foreclosure,  deed in
         lieu of foreclosure,  power of sale, any sale or plan of reorganization
         in  bankruptcy,   or  other   enforcement   process  (herein  called  a
         "Transferee"), shall succeed to the interests of the Landlord under the
         Lease,  (i) such occurrence shall be deemed to create direct privity of
         estate and contract between Tenant and such Mortgagee or Transferee (as
         the case may be),  with the same  force and  effect as if the Lease had
         been made directly  between  Tenant and the Mortgagee or Transferee (as
         the case may be),  subject only to the  limitations  contained below in
         this  Paragraph  7, and  (ii)  Tenant  shall  make  full  and  complete
         attainment to Mortgagee or such  Transferee  as the successor  landlord
         under the Lease.  In the event that Mortgagee or any Transferee  shall,
         in accordance  with the foregoing,  succeed to the interest of Landlord
         under the Lease, Mortgagee and any such Transferee shall not be:

         (a) liable for any act or omission  of Landlord or any prior  landlord,
         other  than to  remedy  continuing  defaults  of  which  Mortgagee  has
         received written Notice;

         (b)  obligated  to  Tenant  for any  security  deposit  or  other  sums
         deposited with any prior landlord (including  Landlord) under the Lease
         and not physically delivered to Mortgagee;

         (c) bound by any rent or  additional  rent which the Tenant  might have
         paid for more than the current month to any prior  landlord  (including
         Landlord);

         (d) bound by any amendment or  modification  of the Lease or, except as
         provided in the Lease, any cancellation or surrender of this Lease made
         without the express written consent of Mortgagee subsequent to the date
         hereof;

         (e) subject to any offsets,  claims or defenses which Tenant might have
         against any prior landlord (including Landlord);

         (f)  obligated  or liable  to  Tenant  with  respect  to any  moving or
         relocation  allowance for any  improvements to the Premises or any part
         thereof;

         (g) bound or liable  under any oral notice  given by Tenant to Landlord
         or any prior landlord; or

         (h)  obligated or liable  (financially  or otherwise) on account of any
         representation,  warranty,  or  indemnification  obligation of Landlord
         with respect to hazardous materials,  asbestos,  or other environmental
         laws,  claims  or  liabilities,  whether  expressly  stated  as such or
         subsumed within general obligations to comply with laws or preserve the
         benefits of Tenant's use and enjoyment of the Premises.

         8. All notices  required or permitted by this Agreement  shall be given
         by (i) hand delivery,  (ii) U.S.  Registered or Certified Mail,  return
         receipt requested, or a nationally reputable overnight courier service,
         and shall be  addressed  to the  recipient  at the  respective  address
         specified in the opening  paragraph of this Agreement.  No notice shall
         be effective unless and until actually received.

         9. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
         parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
