increase results from a higher tax rate or an increase in the assessed valuation
of the premises or both.  Such increase shall be deemed additional rent and

TENANT the tax bill evidencing such increase.

taxes or provide and pay for such insurance and deduct the actual cost thereof
from the rent next thereafter falling due hereunder.

option without liability of forfeiture to pay when due or within the grace
period permitted any installment of mortgage indebtedness upon the demised
premises when the payment thereof shall be necessary to preserve TENANT's
leasehold interest hereunder and deduct the payment thereof from the rent
thereafter falling due hereunder.

          TENANT agrees to pay as rent in addition to the rental herein reserved
any and all sums which may become due for reason of the failure of Tenant to
comply with all of the covenants of this lease and any and all damages, costs
and expenses which the LANDLORD may suffer or incur by reason of any default of
the TENANT, or failure on its part to comply with the covenants of this lease
and each of them, and also any and all damages to the demised
