3. TERM.
3.1 TERM. The term of this Sublease shall be for Thirteen months commencing
on October 1, 1997 and ending on October 31, 1998 unless sooner terminated
pursuant to any provision hereof.
3.2 DELAY IN COMMENCEMENT. Notwithstanding said commencement date, if for
any reason Sublessor cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Sublessee on
said date, Sublessor shall not be subject to any liability therefore, nor shall
such failure affect the validity of this Lease or the obligations of Sublessee
hereunder or extend the term hereof, but in such case Sublessee shall not be
obligated to pay rent until possession of the Premises is tendered to Sublessee;
provided, however, that if Sublessor shall not have delivered possession of the
Premises within sixty (60) days from said commencement date. Sublessee may, at
Sublessee's option, by notice in writing to Sublessor within ten (10) days
thereafter, cancel this Sublease, in which event the parties shall be discharged
from all obligations thereunder. If Sublessee occupies the Premises prior to
said commencement date, such occupancy shall be subject to all provisions
hereof, such occupancy shall not advance the termination date and Sublessee
shall pay rent for such period at the initial monthly rates set forth below.
4. RENT. Sublessee shall pay to Sublessor as rent for the Premises equal
monthly payments of $2,965.00, in advance, on the 1st day of each month of the
term hereof. Sublessee shall pay Sublessor upon the execution hereof $2,965.00
as rent for October 1, 1997 through October 31, 1997. Rent for any period during
the term hereof which is for less than one month shall be a prorata portion of
the monthly installment. Rent shall be payable in lawful money of the United
States to Sublessor at the address stated herein or to such other persons or at
such other places as Sublessor may designate in writing.
5. SECURITY DEPOSIT. Sublessee shall deposit with Sublessor upon execution
hereof $3,000.00 as security for Sublessee's faithful performance of Sublessee's
obligations hereunder. If Sublessee fails to pay rent or other charges due
hereunder, or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of this Sublease,
Sublessor may use, apply or retain all or any portion of said deposit for the
payment of any rent or other charge in default or for the payment of any other
sum to which Sublessor may become obligated by reason of Sublessee's default, or
to compensate Sublessor for any loss or damage which Sublessor may suffer
thereby. If Sublessor so uses or applies all or any portion of said deposit,
Sublessee shall within ten (10) days after written demand therefore deposit cash
with Sublessor in an amount sufficient to restore said deposit to the full
amount hereinabove stated and Sublessee's failure to do so shall be a material
breach of this Sublease. Sublessor shall not be required to keep said deposit
separate from its general accounts. If Sublessee performs all of Sublessee's
obligations hereunder, said deposit, or so much thereof as has not theretofore
been applied by Sublessor, shall be returned, without payment of interest or
other increment for its use to Sublessee (or at Sublessor's option, to the last
assignee, if any, of Sublessee's interest hereunder) at the expiration of the

state, but without regard to the use for which Sublessee will use the Premises,

this warranty has been violated, then it shall be the obligation of the
Sublessor, after written notice from Sublessee, to promptly, at Sublessor's sole
cost and expense, rectify any such violation. In the event that Sublessee does
not give to Sublessor written notice of the violation of this warranty within
1 year from the commencement of the term of this Sublease, it shall be
