Lease; that in the event of a dispute Subtenant's sole remedies shall be to go
against Master Tenant. Subtenant expressly waives any and all claims of third
party beneficiary status for all purposes.

Master Lease.

required to give to any other party with respect to this Agreement shall be
given by prepaid certified or registered mail addressed to such other party at
its address set forth below, or at such other address as such other party may
have designated by notice given in accordance with the provisions herein. Such
notice or communication shall be deemed to have been given at the time the same
is so mailed.
11. Master Landlord acknowledges that Master Landlord does not think
Master Tenant is presently in default under the Master Lease, and the Master
Lease is in full force and effect; but this acknowledgment shall not act as a
waiver or estoppel of any nature or sort by or against Master Landlord, all of
whose rights, privileges and remedies are preserved intact without modification
by this Agreement, and if any prior or current facts or circumstances give rise
to rights, privileges, or remedies in Master Landlord's favor, all the aforesaid
