WHEREAS, the Sublessee desired to utilize the Leased Premises to
conduct the Austro Mold business for the remainder of the Lease term but at a
rent less than the rent paid by the Sublessor under the Lease;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the
mutual covenants hereinafter contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as
follows:
1. The Sublessor hereby subleases to the Sublessee, and the Sublessee
hereby leases from the Sublessor the entire Leased Premises from the date hereof
through December 17, 1997.
2. The Sublessee will pay the Sublessor the sum of Eleven Thousand Five
Hundred Dollars ($11,500) per month as rent for the Leased Premises, such
payments to be made in full in advance on the first day of each calendar month,
except that the first and last month's rent shall be less than a full month's
rent prorated on a per diem basis with respect to the number of days in each of
said months which are a part of this sublease Agreement (i.e., 17 days in the
last month).
3. The Sublessee will comply with all the provisions of the Lease, a
copy of which is attached hereto, as if the Sublessee were the Tenant
thereunder, including without limitation provisions relating to insurance,

thereof. The Sublessee will indemnify and hold the Sublessor harmless, for a
period of three (3) years from the end of the term of this Sublease Agreement,

Sublease Agreement or thereafter, including without limitation any failures or
violations reported in such Phase I environmental report which were not reported

6. Provided that the Sublessee complies with all of the terms of the
Sublease Agreement, the Sublessee will have the right to negotiate a new lease
directly with the landlord under the Lease at or before the end of the term of
this Sublease Agreement, in which event the Sublessor will relinquish all of its
rights with respect to the Leased Premises from and after December 17, 1997 and
waive all of its rights under the Lease to renew the Lease or to purchase the
Leased Premises.

that it has obtained the express approval and written consent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇

this Sublease Agreement with Sublessee.
8. Should the Sublessee be required to pay any amount of rent above and
beyond the amount specified in Item 2 herein due to the Sublessor's failure to
pay to Landlord any amount of its portion of rent due, then Sublessee may
exercise its right, reserved hereby, to set off the amount paid by Sublessee on
behalf of Sublessor against Sublessee's obligation to pay under a Promissory
Note between the Sublessee and Sublessor of even date herewith.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Sublease
Agreement on July 15, 1996, in several counterparts, each of which shall be
