2. Copies of all sketches or drawings of the proposed alteration (s) must
be submitted to Alter Asset Management, Inc. ("AAM") for approval by
the Landlord. Landlord's approval of the plans, specifications and
working drawings for Tenant's alteration shall create no responsibility
or liability on the part of Landlord for their completeness, design

governmental agencies or authorities.
3. It is the sole responsibility of the Tenant to contact local
authorities, secure any necessary permits and to comply with any and

5. The Tenant hereby holds the Landlord, it's agents, beneficiaries, and
AAM, each of them individually and severally harmless from any and all

6. No reasonable request for a facility alteration will be denied

buildings systems are not affected, the roof not penetrated, and the
procedure as outlined herein is fully and completely followed

the work at Tenant's sole cost
<PAGE> 6
7. Upon receipt of complete sets of those items numbered one (1) through
five (5) above, Tenant will be provided with a written response from
AAM as to whether Tenant may proceed with the alteration requested.
8. Proceeding with any alteration to your Premises without complete
compliance with all of the foregoing is in direct violation of your
Lease, and could result in litigation.
9. AAM must be notified in writing upon completion of any approved
alteration.
10. A copy of a Contractor's Sworn Statement must be submitted to AAM prior
to the start of any work. Upon completion of the work, final waivers

of the work, must be submitted to AAM. Landlord reserves the right to
require Tenant to post a deposit in an amount determined by Landlord

Landlord shall make such payments to Tenant in accordance with the
terms of the Lease upon Tenant's full compliance with the provisions of
this Facility Alteration Procedure.
