charges in arrears or damages for the Tenant's failure to perform said
covenants, conditions and agreements; the Landlord may so apply the security at
its option; and the Landlord's right to the possession of the premises for
non-payment of rent or for any other reason shall not in any event be affected
by reason of the fact that Landlord holds this security. The said sum if not
applied toward the payment of rent in arrears or toward the payment of damages
suffered by Landlord by reason of the Tenant's breach of the covenants,
conditions and agreements of this lease is to be returned to the tenant when

retain the said security to apply on such damages as may be suffered or shall
accrue thereafter by reason of the Tenant's default or breach. The Landlord
shall keep the said security as a separate fund. The security deposited under
this lease shall not be mortgaged, assigned, pledged, or encumbered by Tenant
without the written consent of Landlord. In the event of filing by or against
Tenant of a petition in bankruptcy or assignment for the benefit of creditors,
or upon the insolvency of Tenant, title to the monies paid over to Landlord as
security shall vest in the Landlord free and clear of any claims of the Trustees
in bankruptcy, assignee for the benefit of creditors or Receiver that may be

<PAGE>
16.3 In the event of a bona fide sale, subject to this lease, the Landlord
shall have the right to transfer the security to the vendee for the benefit of

thereof, on giving to the Tenant three days' notice in writing of Landlord's

thereof shall terminate and come to an end. In the event that Tenant's occupancy
causes any increase in premium for the fire and extended coverage insurance
rates on the demised premises or the balance of the building in which Tenant's
demised premises are located, Tenant shall pay, as additional rent, the
additional premium on said fire and extended coverage insurance. Bills for such
additional premiums, if any, shall be rendered by Landlord to Tenant at such

rendered; and the amount thereof shall be deemed to be and paid as additional
rent.

therein, which will in any way increase the rate of fire insurance on said

termination of this Lease, as provided in this Lease, but prior to the date of
termination, or (c) after Landlord shall have commenced a summary dispossess
proceeding or an appropriate action or proceeding to recover possession of the
Leased Premises but prior to the termination of this Lease by reason of the

ARTICLE 20
Strict Performance
The failure of the Landlord to insist upon strict performance of any of the
covenants or conditions of this lease or to exercise any option herein conferred

advance, on the first day of each full calendar month during the term, the first
such payment to include also any prorated annual basic rental for the period

calendar month in the term.
B. From years two (2) to ten (10) there will be a minimum rental increase
annually of a minimum 3% or a maximum of 5% based upon the annual CPI index as
described herein.
The rental increase will be based upon the Index for the New
York-Northeastern New Jersey area of the "Consumers Price Index for all Urban
Consumers" (revised CPI-U (1982-1984 equal to 100) published by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics of the U.S. Department of Labor Statistics of the U.S.
Department Labor (hereinafter referred to as the "Index"). The Index figure for
the initial month, shall be compared with the Index figure for the anniversary
month in each subsequent year during the option period. If the latter figure is
more than the Index for the initial month, the latter figure shall be divided by
the former figure to determine the new base rent. The new base rent will be
divided by 12 to determine the new monthly installment. Provided, however, in no
event shall the new monthly base rent be less than the prior years monthly base
rent with a minimum increase for each year will be a minimum of three (3%)
percent with a maximum of five (5%) percent. Since Index figures for the month
of the anniversary month are not available for several weeks after said month of
each year, the base rental will continue to be paid on an estimated basis in
monthly installments equal to the monthly installments for the preceding year.
Upon the availability of the actual month's Index figures, the base rent will be
recomputed and Tenant will pay to Landlord, upon demand, the demand, the
deficiencies, if any, in each monthly installment of the current year paid prior
to the date of such computation. Thereafter, Tenant will pay the base rental on
the newly computed monthly installment.
C. The Tenant has four 5 year option periods covering the following years:
(1) lst Option - Years 11 - 15
(2) 2nd Option - Years 16 - 20
(3) 3rd Option - Years 21 - 25
(4) 4th Option - Years 26 - 30
The basic rent during the option periods will increase annually in accordance
with the CPI Index with a minimum of 3% and a maximum of 5%.
