8.                                      TENANT SOLE OWNER OF LEASEHOLD INTEREST.  Tenant hereby warrants and represents, covenants and agrees with Lender that Tenant is now the sole owner of the leasehold estate created by the Lease and shall not hereafter assign the Lease except as permitted by the terms thereof, and that notwithstanding any such assignment or any sublease, Tenant shall remain primarily liable for the observance and performance of all of its agreements under the Lease.
