Operating Costs incurred during the Term. Such additional rent shall be
payable as and when Operating Costs are payable by Sublessor to

Operating Costs on the basis of an estimate thereof, then as and when
adjustments between estimated and actual Operating Costs are made under
the Master Lease, the obligations of Sublessor and Sublessee hereunder
shall be adjusted in a like manner, and if any such adjustment shall

obligations of Sublessor and Subleases under this Paragraph 5(b) shall
survive such expiration or termination. Sublessor shall, upon request

check.

Sublessee, Sublessee will pay to Sublessor a security deposit in the

payment of any other sum for which Sublessor may become obligated by
reason of Sublessee's default or breach, or for any loss or damage

Sublessor so uses any portion of the Security Deposit, Sublessee shall,
within (10) days after written demand by Sublessor, restore the
Security Deposit to the full amount originally deposited, and

liability for payment of interest on the Security Deposit. In the event

final adjustment pursuant to Paragraph 5(b) hereof has been made,
whichever shall last occur, and provided Sublessee is not then in
default of any of its obligations hereunder, the Security Deposit or so
much thereof as had not theretofore been applied by Sublessor, shall be
returned to Sublessee or to the last assignee, if any, of Sublessee's
interest hereunder.
