known as the Aurafin Building.
2. LEASE TERM. Tenant shall have and hold the Premises for a term ("Term")

calendar month thereafter, unless sooner terminated or extended as hereinafter

then the Base Rent to be paid as of the January 1st next following such
adjustment date shall be multiplied by the percentage difference between the

termination, in which event this Lease shall terminate on the date specified in
such notice and all rights of Tenant under the Lease shall expire and terminate
as of such date, Tenant shall remain liable for all obligations under this Lease
up to the date of such termination and Tenant shall surrender the Premises to

Landlord may in its own name, but as agent for Tenant enter into and take
possession of the Premises and re-let the Premises, or a portion thereof, as
agent of Tenant upon any terms and conditions as Landlord may deem reasonably
necessary or desirable. Upon any such re-letting, all rentals received by Land
from such re-letting shall be applied first to the reasonable costs and
reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord in accomplishing any such
re-letting, and thereafter shall be applied to the Rent owed by Tenant to
Landlord during the remainder of the term of this Lease and Tenant shall pay any
deficiency between the remaining Rent due hereunder and the amount received by
such re-letting as and when due hereunder.
23. DESTRUCTION OR DAMAGE.
(a) If the Building or the Premises are totally destroyed by storm,
fire, earthquake, or other casualty, or damaged to the extent that, in
Landlord's reasonable opinion the damage cannot be restored within one hundred
eighty (180) days at the date Landlord provides Tenant written nose of
Landlord's reasonable estimate of the time necessary to restore the damage, or
if the damage is not covered by standard "all risks" property insurance, or if
the Landlord's lender, if any, requires that the insurance proceeds be applied
to the loan secured by the Property, Landlord and Tenant shall each have the
right to terminate this Lease effective as the date of such destruction or
damage by written notice to the other on or before thirty (30) days following
Landlord's notice described in the next sentence and Rent shall be accounted for
as between Landlord and Tenant as of the date of such destruction or damage.
Landlord shall provide Tenant with notice within forty five (45) days following
the date of the damage of the estimated time needed to restore, and whether or
not Landlord's lender requires the insurance proceeds be applied to its loan
should either Landlord or Tenant elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to this
provision, all insurance proceeds shall be payable to Landlord, except such
amounts as may be due for losses exclusively insured for Tenant.
(b) If the Premises are damaged by any such casualty or casualties but
Landlord or Tenant is not entitled to or does not terminate this Lease as
provided in subparagraph (a) above, this Lease shall remain in full force and
9
<PAGE>

the date of the damage that the damage will be restored (and will include
Landlord's good faith estimate of the date the restoration will be complete), in
which case Rent shall abate as to any portion of the Premises which is not
usable, and Landlord shall restore the Premises to substantially the same
condition as before the damage occurred as soon as practicable, whereupon full
Rent shall recommence.
24. EMINENT DOMAIN. If the whole of the Building or Premises, or such portion
thereof as will make the Building or Premises unusable in the reasonable
judgment of Landlord for their intended purposes, is condemned or taken by any
legally constituted authority for any public use or purpose, then in either of
said events, each of Landlord and Tenant may terminate this Lease by written
notice to the ether and the Term hereby granted shall cease from that time when
possession thereof is taken by the condemning authorities, and Rent shall be
accounted for as between Landlord and Tenant as of that date. If a portion of
the Building or Premises is so taken, but not such amount as will make the
Premises unusable in the reasonable judgment of Tenant for the purposes herein
leased, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, the Rent shall be
reduced pro rata in proportion to the amount of the Premises so taken, and the
Landlord shall promptly commence such repair and restoration work and thereafter
continue the same with reasonable diligence to restore all affected portions of
the Premises and Building to a quality, taking into account the extent and
nature of the condemnation, equal to that existing immediately prior to such a
taking.

(a) TENANT'S ESTOPPEL. Tenant shall, from time to time, upon not more
than ten (10) days prior written request by Landlord, execute, acknowledge and
