  In a previous paper we have developed a novel method in order to parametrize
the effect of the large number of HETs into as fewer parameters as possible.
Apart from its obvious advantages this parametrization serves as a vehicle for
the examination of the validity of a minimal SO(10) model concerning a series
of constraints. Among them is demand for unification of the gauge couplings,
the experimental values of the strong coupling constant and lower experimental
bound of the proton lifetime. All of these claims lead to preferred regions
both in the soft the superheavy parameter space. In this paper we give the
necessary updates of our results which stem mainly from the recent experimental
measurements. We also include some additions in our analysis involving the
universal trilinear coupling A_0 and the rate x, which is related to superheavy
vevs. Finally we cross-check the preferred regions of the parameter space and
narrow the even more by applying new constraints based on the results of the
LHC experiment for the mass of the Higgs particle and the supersymmetry
exclusion limits.
