AGREEMENT

      1.     Sale of Assets.   At Closing, Seller shall sell and

the purchase price among the Assets and shall report the purchase
price payments or receipts on their respective federal income tax
returns in a manner consistent with such allocations.

      3.     No Liabilities.   Purchaser shall not at Closing assume
any liabilities of Seller including by way of example any taxes and

            (c)    Such other insurance as Landlord reasonably

independent contractors, products-completed operations, and
liability assumed under an insured contract both oral and written.

At its sole cost and expense, Tenant will promptly comply with
Applicable Laws insofar as they relate to (a) Tenant's use,
occupancy, or alteration of the Premises; (b) the condition of
the Premises resulting from Tenant's use, occupancy, or alteration
of the Premises; or (c) alterations to the Premises required as a
result of Tenant's status under Applicable Laws.   Tenant will not
be required to comply with Applicable Laws with respect to
structural changes or changes outside the Premises unless related
to (i) Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises or (ii)
improvements or alterations made by or for Tenant.

      8.2    Hazardous Materials.

            (a)    Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts
to prevent the manufacture, storage, sale, use, disposal, release,
or discharge of Hazardous Materials on or at the Project in any
manner that violates Environmental Law or which causes there to
be any liability under Environmental Law.  

            (b)    Tenant will not cause, or allow any of Tenant's
employees, agents, customers, visitors, invitees, licensees,
contractors, assignees or subtenants to cause, use or conduct
operations on or at the Premises or the Project or manufacture,
store, sell, use, dispose of, release, or discharge or permit
the manufacture, storage, sale, use, disposal, release, or
discharge of Hazardous Materials on the Project in any manner
which violates Environmental Law or which causes there to be any
liability under Environmental Law.   Tenant will indemnify, defend,
and hold Landlord and its officers, employees, and agents
harmless from any and all claims, suits, judgments, actions,
proceedings, damages, penalties, fines, costs, expenses,
liabilities, or losses (including, without limitation, diminution
in value of the Premises, damages for the loss or restriction on
use of rentable or usable space or of any amenity of the Premises,
damages arising from any adverse impact on marketing of space,
and sums paid in settlement of claims, attorneys' fees, consultant
fees, and expert fees (consultants and experts to be selected by
Landlord) which arise during or after the Lease Term as a result
of contamination by Hazardous Materials due to the negligence or
willful misconduct of Tenant or of Tenant's agents or
contractors.   This indemnification of Landlord by Tenant
includes, without limitation, costs incurred in connection
with any investigation of site conditions or any cleanup,
remedial, removal, or restoration work required by any federal,
state, or local governmental agency or political subdivision
because of Hazardous Materials present in the soil or groundwater
on or under the Premises.   Without limiting the foregoing, if the
presence of any Hazardous Materials on the Premises or the Project
caused or permitted by the negligence or willful misconduct of
Tenant or its agents or contractors results in any contamination
of the Premises or the Project, Tenant will promptly take all
actions at its sole expense as are necessary to return the Premises
or the Project to the condition existing prior to the release of
any such Hazardous Materials to the Premises or the Project,
provided that Landlord's written approval of such actions will
first be obtained, which approval will not be unreasonably
withheld.   Landlord shall have the right upon reasonable prior
notice to enter the Premises to inspect the Premises for Tenant's
compliance with this Section.   If Landlord has reasonable grounds
to believe that a violation exists, Landlord may retain an
environmental consultant to prepare a Phase II report and to
consult with Landlord at Tenant's expense.   Tenant's obligations
under this Section 8.2(b) will survive the expiration or prior
termination of this Lease.

            (c)    For purposes of this Lease, "Hazardous Materials"
means any explosives, radioactive materials, petroleum products,
hazardous wastes, or hazardous or toxic substances, including,
without limitation, substances defined as "hazardous substances"
or those substances, materials, and wastes listed in the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. (s)9601-9657; the Hazardous
Materials Transportation Act of 1975, 49 U.S.C. (s)1801-1812;
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, 42 U.S.C.
(s)6901-6987; the United States Department of Transportation
Hazardous Materials Table (49 CFR 172.101); the United States
Environmental Protection Agency Listing (40 CFR Part 302): or
any other federal, state, or local statute, law, ordinance,
code, rule, regulation, order, or decree regulating, relating
to, or imposing liability or standards of conduct concerning
hazardous materials, waste, or substances now or at any time
hereafter in effect (collectively, "Environmental Law").

      8.3    Certain Insurance Risks.   Tenant will not do or permit
to be done any act or thing upon the Premises or the Project which
would (a) jeopardize or be in conflict with fire insurance policies
covering the Project, and fixtures and property in the Project, or
(b) increase the rate of fire insurance applicable to the Project
to an amount higher than it otherwise would be for the present use
of the Project, or (c) subject Landlord to any liability or
responsibility for injury to any person or persons or to property
by reason of any business or operation being carried on upon the
Premises.

ARTICLE 9
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

      9.1    General.   Tenant, for itself, its heirs, distributees,
executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and
assigns, covenants that it will not assign, mortgage or encumber
this Lease, nor sublease, or permit the Premises or any part of
the Premises to be used or occupied by others, without the prior
written consent of Landlord in each instance, which consent may be
withheld by Landlord in its sole discretion.   Any assignment or
sublease in violation of this Article 9 will be void.   If this
Lease is assigned, or if the Premises or any part of the Premises
are subleased or occupied by anyone other than Tenant, Landlord
may, after default by Tenant, collect rent from the assignee,
subtenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to
Rent.   No assignment, sublease, occupancy or collection will be
deemed a waiver of the provisions of this Section 9.1, the
acceptance of the assignee, subtenant or occupant as tenant, or
a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of
covenants on the part of Tenant contained in this Lease.   The
consent by Landlord to an assignment or sublease will not be
construed to relieve Tenant from liability under this Lease,
or obtaining Landlord's prior written consent in writing to any
further assignment or sublease.   No permitted subtenant may
assign or encumber its sublease or further sublease all or any
portion of its subleased space, or otherwise permit the subleased
space or any part of its subleased space to be used or occupied
by others, without Landlord's prior written consent in each
instance.

      9.2    Submission of Information.   If Tenant requests
Landlord's consent to a specific assignment or subletting,
Tenant will submit in writing to Landlord (a) the name and
address of the proposed assignee or subtenant; (b) the business
terms of the proposed assignment or sublease; (c) reasonably
satisfactory information as to the nature and character of the
business of the proposed assignee or subtenant, and as to the
nature of its proposed use of the space; (d) banking, financial,
or other credit information reasonably sufficient to enable
Landlord to determine the financial responsibility and character
of the proposed assignee or subtenant; and (e) the proposed form
of assignment or sublease for Landlord's reasonable approval.

      9.3    Payments to Landlord.   If Landlord consents to a
proposed assignment or sublease, then Landlord will have the right
to require Tenant to pay to Landlord a sum equal to (a) an
