the following terms and conditions:

compliance with all applicable laws, rules, codes, ordinances and

demands, or causes of action for damage to persons or property arising

agents, contractors or subcontractors.

(c) Within five (5) business days after notification from Lessee of
substantial completion of the finish-out work, Lessor's designated
representative shall inspect the Leased Premises. Lessor will pay to
Lessee (or a contractor engaged by Lessee) $24,000.00 or the actual cost
of the finish out work, whichever is less, within ten (10) days after the
inspection by Lessor's representative, provided that the following
conditions are met:
(i) The finish-out work is completed, and
(ii) Lessee furnishes Lessor with receipts or other evidence
substantiating the actual cost of the work, and
(iii) Lessee furnishes Lessor with lien releases from all outside

(d) Lessee may elect to make two separate, partial applications to
Lessor for payment of the $24,000.00 Leasehold Improvements. In no
event shall the total amount paid by Lessor exceed $24,000.000.
(e) In the event that Lessor fails to pay Lessee on a timely basis,
Lessee may withhold payment of Base Rent until sums owing to Lessee are
paid in full.
(f) In the event that Lessee has not used all the Leasehold Improvements
allowance within four (4) months after the Commencement Date, or upon
notice from Lessee to Lessor than no additional allowance will be utilized
for Leasehold Improvements, the remaining balance shall be credited against
the next scheduled Base Rent payment.
All other terms and conditions of the original Lease Agreement dated January 2,
1992 and the Amendment to Lease dated August 1, 1994 shall remain in effect and
unchanged.
AGREED AND ACCEPTED this 19th day of February, 1997.
