Tenant will begin to self-insure such general liability.
18. Fire and Extended Property Damage.
---------------------------------
(a) Subject to the terms hereof, during the term of this Lease
Agreement, the Tenant will keep insured any and all buildings and improvements
upon the Leased Premises against all loss or damage by fire, windstorm and
extended coverage, which said insurance will be maintained in an amount not less
than the full replacement value thereof. All of such policies of insurance
relating to the buildings and improvements on the Leased Premises shall name the
Tenant and Landlord as the insureds and shall fully protect both the Landlord
and the Tenant as their respective interests may appear. In the event of damage
to or destruction of
10
<PAGE>
the said buildings or improvements an the Leased Premises by fire, windstorm, or
other casualty for which insurance shall be payable and as often as such
insurance money shall have been paid to the Landlord and the Tenant for damages
to or destruction of the buildings and improvements on the Leased Premises, said
sums so paid shall be deposited in a joint account of the Landlord and the
Tenant in a bank or savings and loan satisfactory to the Tenant ("joint
account"), and such funds in the joint account shall be made available to the
Tenant for the construction or repair, as the case may be, of any buildings or
improvements located on the Leased Premises damaged or destroyed by fire,
windstorm, or other casualty, and shall be paid out by the Landlord and the
Tenant from said joint account from time to time on the estimate of the Tenant,
certifying that the amount of such estimate is being applied to the payment of
the reconstruction or repair. Tenant shall have no obligation to make such
repairs to or restoration of such damaged buildings and improvements located on
the Leased Premises the cost of which exceeds that portion of the insurance
proceeds made available to Tenant to make such repairs or restore such damaged
buildings and improvements on the Leased Premises.
(b) The foregoing notwithstanding, in the event the insurance
proceeds are the sum of $100,000 or less, then such proceeds shall be paid
directly to the Tenant without the necessity of creating the joint account, and
Tenant shall use such funds to make the replacements or repairs to the damaged
buildings and improvements on the Leased Premises.
11
<PAGE>
(c) Any excess of money received from insurance remaining in the
joint account after the reconstruction or repair of such damaged buildings or
improvements on the Leased Premises shall, if the Tenant is not in default under
this Lease Agreement, be paid to Tenant. If the Tenant has not begun to restore
or repair the damaged buildings and improvements located on the Leased Premises
using the proceeds in the joint account for such repairs or restoration within a
period of 120 days from the date of receipt of such casualty, or such extended
period of time as agreed to in writing by both the Tenant and the Landlord, the
Tenant may, at its option, terminate this Lease Agreement and in the event of
such termination by Tenant the proceeds in the joint account shall be paid to
Landlord.
(d) If any mortgagee holding a mortgage on the Leased Premises
elects, in accordance with the terms of such mortgage, to require that all or
any part of the proceeds of such insurance paid as a result of damages to the
buildings and improvements located on the Leased Premises be paid to or retained
by the mortgagee, then such payment shall be made, but in such event, the
Landlord shall pay into the joint account referred to in subparagraph (a) of
this Section 18 that amount of the insurance proceeds paid to or retained by
mortgagee. In the event that such mortgagee elects such insurance proceeds be
paid to it in accordance with the terms of such mortgage and the Landlord fails
or refuses, for any reason whatsoever, to pay into such joint account that
amount of such insurance proceeds paid to or retained by the mortgagee within 30
12
<PAGE>
days from the date of notification from the mortgagee of the mortgagee's
election to retain or have paid to it such insurance proceeds, in whole or in
part, the Tenant may, at its option, terminate this Lease Agreement.
(e) The policies of insurance required to be maintained by the Tenant
pursuant to this Section 18 may be carried by the Tenant under blanket policies
maintained by the Tenant. Such policies may provide for such deductible amounts
as are customarily provided for in insurance maintained by the Tenant with
respect to similar properties owned or leased by it. The policy of insurance
required to be maintained by the Tenant shall bear a standard first mortgagee
endorsement in favor of any holder of a mortgage created prior to the date of
this Lease Agreement. Within ten (10) days after commencement of this Lease
Agreement, Tenant shall deliver to the Landlord certificates of the insurers
evidencing all of the insurance which is required under this Section 18.
(f) Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section 18, Tenant
may, at its option, self-insure the buildings and improvements on the Leased
Premises against damage or destruction by fire, windstorm and extended coverage
in lieu of obtaining insurance from an insurance company covering such buildings
and improvements on the Leased Premises against damage or destruction by fire,
windstorm and extended coverage. In the event that the Tenant does self-insure
such buildings and improvements on the Leased premises against damage or
destruction by fire, windstorm and extended coverage in lieu of obtaining
insurance from
13
<PAGE>
an insurance company covering such damage or destruction, notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, (i) Tenant shall have no obligation to obtain
such insurance from an insurance company covering the buildings and improvements
on the Leased Premises against damage or destruction by fire, windstorm and
extended coverage during the period that the Tenant is self-insuring such damage
or destruction, and (ii) in the event of damage to or destruction of any of the
buildings or improvements on the Leased Premises during the period that the
Tenant is self insuring such buildings and improvements and such damage or
destruction is due to a fire, windstorm or other casualty that would be
insurable under a standard fire, windstorm and extended coverage property
insurance policy in effect at the time of such damage or destruction, such
damage or destruction shall be repaired by, and at the expense of, the Tenant in
substantially the condition such damaged or destroyed building or improvement
was in immediately prior to such damage or destruction and the Tenant shall
begin such repair or restoration work as soon as possible after the date of such
casualty. If the Tenant does decide to self-insure the buildings and
improvements on the Leased Premises against damage or destruction by fire,
windstorm and extended coverage, the Tenant agrees to give the landlord written
notice of its decision no less than ten (10) days prior to the time the Tenant
will begin such self-insurance.

---------------------
that arises or may arise in its favor and against the
14
<PAGE>
other party hereto for any and all loss of, or damage to, any of the buildings,
improvements and/or its property located within or upon, or constituting a part
of, the Leased Premises to the extent such loss or damage is covered by fire and
extended coverage insurance. Said mutual waivers shall be in addition to, and
not in limitation or derogation of, any other waiver or release contained in
this Lease Agreement with respect to any loss of, or damage to buildings or
improvements located on the Leased Premises and/or property of the parties
hereto, inasmuch as the above mutual waivers will preclude the assignment of any
aforesaid claim by way of subrogation (or otherwise) to an insurance company (or
any other person), each party hereto hereby agreeing immediately to give to each
insurance company which has issued to it policies of fire and extended coverage
insurance, written notice of the terms of said mutual waivers, and to have said
insurance policies property endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation
of said insurance coverages by reason of said waivers.

------------
(a) Complete Condemnation. If, after the execution and prior to the
---------------------
termination of this Lease Agreement, the whole of the Leased Premises shall be
taken under the power of eminent domain by any public or private authority, then

date of such taking, with the right of Tenant, at its election, to continue to
occupy the Leased Premises, subject to the terms of this Lease Agreement, for
all or such part, as Tenant may determine, of the
15

period between the date of such taking and the date when possession of the
Leased Premises shall be taken by the taking authority, and any unearned rent or

(i) Resulting in the reduction of the ground floor area of the
building on the Leased Premises by 20% or more, or
(ii) Resulting in the reduction of the parking area on the Leased
Premises by 20% or more, then Tenant may, at its election, terminate this Lease
Agreement by giving Landlord notice of the exercise of its election within 60
days of the date of notice to Tenant of such taking (or purchase). In the event
of termination by Tenant under this Section, this Lease Agreement shall cease
and terminate as of the last day of the calendar month in which such notice of
exercise of its election to terminate has been given, and any unearned rent or
other charges, if any, paid in advance, shall be refunded to Tenant.

what may remain of the Leased Premises, including any and all improvements made
theretofore, the parking areas and the Leased Premises, to substantially the

hereunder, according to the nature and extent of the injury to the Leased
Premises and Tenant's business shall be suspended or abated until what may
remain of the Leased Premises and the parking areas, shall be restored as
aforesaid, and thereafter a just proportion of the rent and any such other
charges according to the nature and extent of the taking and resulting injury to
the Leased Premises and Tenant's business shall be permanently abated for the
balance of the term of this Lease Agreement. In computing the amount of
proportionate rent reduction as herein provided, due consideration shall be
given to the value of the portion of the area so taken in condemnation with
relation to the remaining area insofar as the use thereof for Tenant's business
is concerned, and to the effect of such taking on Tenant's business, and the
amount of parking area and the value of what remains insofar as the use thereof
for Tenant's business is concerned.

of its leasehold interest upon such a total or partial taking of the Leased
Premises under the power of eminent domain shall belong to and be the property
of the Landlord; provided however, that nothing contained herein shall be
construed
17
<PAGE>
to preclude Tenant from (i) prosecuting and filing, and the Tenant shall be
entitled to prosecute and file, a claim directly against the condemning
authority in such condemnation proceedings for loss of or damage to Tenant's
business or suffered by Tenant due to loss of its leasehold interest,
depreciation to, damage to, or cost of removal of, or for value of stock, trade
