 The Real Estate Board of New York, Inc.
 (C)Copyright 1982. All rights Reserved.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AGREEMENT OF LEASE, made of this 13th day of September, 1996 Between CMC MIC    
HOLDING COMPANY, L.L.C., having an office at 88 Tenth Avenue, New York, New York
10011 party of the first part, hereinafter referred to as "Landlord" or "Owner,"
and RONNYBROOK FARM DAIRY, INC., party of the second part, a New York State     
Corporation having an office at Ancramdale, New York, hereinafter referred to as
"Tenant".                                                                       

WITNESSETH: Owner hereby leases Tenant and Tenant hereby hires from Owner a     
portion of the ground floor (the "Demised Premises") as shown on Exhibit A      
attached hereto, in the series of buildings comprising the two (2) square blocks
bound to the north by 16th Street, to the south by 15th Street, to the east by  
Ninth Avenue and to the west by Eleventh Avenue (but intersected by Tenth       
Avenue), which series of buildings is known as Around The Clock Center and by   
the street address 75 Ninth Avenue/85 Tenth Avenue, New York, New York (the     
"Building") for the term and rental set forth in Articles 41 and 42 hereof.     

The parties hereto, for themselves, their heirs, distributees, executors,       
administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns, hereby convenant 
as follows:                                                                     

Occupancy: 1. Tenant shall pay the rent as above and as hereinafter provided.   

Use: 2. Tenant shall use and occupy demised premises for the Permitted Use      
provided such use is in accordance with the Certificate of Occupancy for the    
building, if any, and for no other purpose.                                     

Alterations: 3. Tenant shall make no changes in or to the demised premises of   
any nature without Owner's prior written consent. Subject to the prior written  
consent of Owner, and to the provisions of this article, Tenant at Tenant's     
expense, may make alterations, installations or improvements which are          
non-structural and which do not affect utility services or plumbing and         
electrical lines, in or to the interior of the demised premises using           
contractors or mechanics first approved by Owner. Tenant shall, at its expense, 
before making any alterations, additions, installations or improvements obtain  
all permits, approval and certificates required by any governmental or          
quasi-governmental bodies and (upon completion) certificates of final approval  
thereof and shall deliver promptly duplicates of all such permits, approvals and
certificates to Owner. Tenant agrees to carry and will cause Tenant's           
contractors and sub-contractors to carry such workman's compensation, general   
liability, personal and property damage insurance as Owner may require. If any  
mechanic's lien is filed against the demised premises, or the building of which 
the same forms a part, for work claimed to have been done for, or materials     
furnished to, Tenant, whether or not done pursuant to this article, the same    
shall be discharged by Tenant within thirty days thereafter, at Tenant's        
expense, by filing the bond required by law or otherwise. All fixtures and all  
paneling, partitions, railings and like installations, installed in the premises
at any time, either by Tenant or by Owner on Tenant's behalf, shall, upon       
installation, become the property of Owner and shall remain upon and be         
surrendered with the demised premises unless Owner, by notice to Tenant no later
than twenty days prior to the date fixed as the termination of this lease, elect
to relinquish Owner's right thereto and to have them removed from the demised   
premises by Tenant prior to the expiration of the lease, at Tenant's expense.   
Nothing in this Article shall be construed to give Owner title to or to prevent 
Tenant's removal of trade fixtures, moveable office furniture and equipment, but
upon removal of any

such from the premises or upon removal of other installations as may be required
by Owner. Tenant shall immediately and its expense, repair and restore the      
premises to the condition existing prior to installation and repair any damage  
to the demised premises or the building due to such removal. All property       
permitted or required to be removed, by Tenant at the end of the term remaining 
in the premises after Tenant's removal shall be deemed abandoned and may, at the
election of Owner, either be retained as Owner's property or removed from the   
premises by Owner, at Tenant's expense.                                         

Repairs: 4. Owner shall maintain and repair the exterior of and the public      
portions of the building. Tenant shall, throughout the term of this lease, take 
good care of the demised premises including the bathrooms and lavatory          
facilities (if the demised premises encompass the entire floor of the building) 
and the windows and window frames and, the fixtures and appurtenances therein   
and at Tenant's sole cost and expense promptly make all repairs thereto and to  
the building, whether structural or non-structural in nature, caused by or      
resulting from the carelessness, omission, neglect or improper conduct of       
Tenant, Tenant's servants, employees, invitees, or licensees, and whether or not
arising from such Tenant conduct or omission, when required by other provisions 
of this lease, including Article 6. Tenant shall also repair all damage to the  
building and the demised premises caused by the moving of Tenant's fixtures,    
furniture or equipment. All the aforesaid repairs shall be of quality or class  
equal to the original work or construction. If Tenant fails, after ten days     
notice, to proceed with due diligence to make repairs required to be made by    
Tenant, the same may be made by the Owner at the expense of Tenant, and the     
expenses thereof incurred by Owner shall be collectible, as additional rent,    
after rendition of a bill or statement therefor. If the demised premises be or  
become infested with vermin, Tenant shall, at its expense, cause the same to be 
exterminated. Tenant shall give Owner prompt notice of any defective condition  
in any plumbing, heating system or electrical lines located in the demised      
premises and following such notice, Owner shall remedy the condition with due   
diligence, but at the expense of Tenant, if repairs are necessitated by damage  
or injury attributable to Tenant, Tenant's servants, agents, employees, invitees
or licensees as aforesaid. Except as specifically provided in Article 9 or      
elsewhere in this lease, there shall be no allowance to the Tenant for a        
diminution of rental value and no liability on the part of Owner by reason of   
inconvenience, annoyance or injury to business arising from Owner, Tenant or    
others making or failing to make any repairs, alterations, additions or         
improvements in or to any portion of the building or the demised premises or in 
and to the fixtures, appurtenances or equipment thereof. The provisions of this 
Article 4 with respect to making of repairs shall not apply in the case of fire 
or other casualty with regard to which Article 9 hereof shall apply.            

Window Cleaning: 5. Tenant will not  clean nor require, permit, suffer or allow 
any window in the demised premises to be cleaned from the outside in violation  
of Section 202 of the New York State Labor Law or any other applicable law or of
the Rules of the Board of Standards and Appeals, or of any other Board or body  
having or asserting jurisdiction.                                               

Requirements Of Law, Fire Insurance, Floor Loads: 6. Prior to the commencement  
of the lease term, if Tenant is then in possession, and at all times thereafter,
Tenant shall, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, promptly comply with all       
present and future laws, orders and regulations of all state, federal, municipal
and local governments, departments, commissions and boards and any direction of 
any public officer pursuant to law, and all orders, rules and regulations of the
New York Board of Fire Underwriters, or the Insurance Services Office, or any   
similar body which shall impose any violation, order or duty upon Owner or      
Tenant with respect to the demised premises, whether or not arising out of      
Tenant's

use or manner of use thereof, or, with respect to the building, if              
arising out of Tenant's use or manner of use of the demised premises or the     
building (including the use permitted under the lease). Except as provided in   
Article 30 hereof, nothing herein shall require Tenant to make structural       
repairs or alterations unless Tenant has, by its manner of use of the demised   
premises or method or operation therein, violated any such laws, ordinances,    
orders, rules, regulations or requirements with respect thereto. Tenant shall   
not do or permit any act or thing to be done in or to the demised premises which
is contrary to law, or which will invalidate or be in conflict with public      
liability, fire or other policies of insurance at any time carried by or for the
benefit of Owner. Tenant shall not keep anything in the demised premise except  
as now or hereafter permitted by the Fire Department, Board of Fire             
Underwriters, Fire Insurance Rating Organization and other authority having     
jurisdiction, and then only in such manner and such quantity so as not to       
increase the rate for fire insurance applicable to the building, nor use the    
premises in a manner which will increase the insurance rate for the building or 
any property located therein over that in effect prior to the commencement of   
Tenant's occupancy. If by reason of failure to comply with the foregoing the    
fire insurance rate shall, at the beginning of this lease or at any time        
thereafter, be higher than it otherwise would be, then Tenant shall reimburse   
Owner, as additional rent hereunder, for that portion of all fire insurance     
premiums thereafter paid by Owner which shall have been charged because of such 
failure by Tenant. In any action or proceeding wherein Owner and Tenant are     
parties, a schedule or "make-up" or rate for the building or demised premises   
issued by a body making fire insurance rates applicable to said premises shall  
be conclusive evidence of the facts therein stated and of the several items and 
charges in the fire insurance rates applicable to said premises shall be        
conclusive evidence of the facts therein stated and of the several items and    
charges in the fire insurance rates then applicable to said premises. Tenant    
shall not place a load upon any floor of the demised premises exceeding the     
floor load per square foot area which it was designed to carry and which is     
allowed by law. Owner reserves the right to prescribe the weight and position of
all safes, business machines and mechanical equipment. Such installations shall 
be placed and maintained by Tenant, at Tenant's expense, in settings sufficient,
in Owner's judgment, to absorb and prevent vibration, noise and annoyance.      

Subordination: 7. This lease is subject and subordinate to all ground or        
underlying leases and to all mortgages which may now or hereafter affect such   
leases or the real property of which demised premises are a part and to all     
renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions of any such
underlying leases and mortgages. This clause shall be self-operative and no     
further instrument or subordination shall be required by any ground or          
underlying lessor or by any mortgagee, affecting any lease or the real property 
of which the demised premises are a part. In confirmation of such subordination,
Tenant shall execute promptly any certificate that Owner may request.           

Property - Loss, Damage, Reimbursement, Indemnity: 8. Owner or its Agents shall 
not be liable for any damage to property of Tenant or of others entrusted to    
employees of the building, nor for loss of or damage to any property of Tenant  
by theft or otherwise, nor for any injury or damage to persons or property      
resulting from any cause of whatsoever nature, unless caused by or due to the   
negligence of Owner, its agents, servants or employees; Owner or its agents     
shall not be liable for any damage caused by other tenants or persons in, upon  
or about said building or caused by operations in connection of any private,    
public or quasi public work. If at any time any windows of the demised premises 
are temporarily closed, darkened or bricked up (or permanently closed, darkened 
or bricked up, if required by law) for any reason whatsoever including, but not 
limited to Owner's own acts, Owner shall not be liable for any damage

Tenant may sustain thereby and Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation 
therefor nor abatement or diminution of rent nor shall the same release Tenant  
from its obligations hereunder nor constitute an eviction. Tenant shall         
indemnify and save harmless Owner against and from all liabilities, obligations,
damages, penalties, claims, costs and expenses for which Owner shall not be     
reimbursed by insurance, including reasonable attorney's fees, paid, suffered or
incurred as a result of any breach by Tenant, Tenant's agents, contractors,     
employees, invitees, or licensees, of any covenant or condition of this lease,  
or the carelessness, negligence or improper conduct of the Tenant, Tenant's     
agents, contractors, employees, invitees or licensees. Tenant's liability under 
this lease extends to the acts and omissions of any sub-tenant, and any agent,  
contractor, employee, invitee or licensee of any sub-tenant. In case any action 
or proceeding is brought against Owner by reason of any such claim, Tenant, upon
written notice from Owner, will, at Tenant's expense, resist or defend such     
action or proceeding by counsel approved by Owner in writing, such approval not 
to be unreasonably withheld.                                                    

Destruction Fire and Other Casualty: 9. (a) If the demised Premises or any part 
thereof shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give immediate 
notice thereof to Owner and this lease shall continue in full force and effect  
except as hereinafter set forth. (b) If the demised premises are partially      
damaged or rendered partially unusable by fire or other casualty, the damages   
thereto shall be repaired by and at the expense of Owner and the rent, until    
such repair shall be substantially completed, shall be apportioned from the day 
following the casualty according to the part of the premises which is usable.   
(c) If the demised premises are totally damaged or rendered wholly unusable by  
fire or other casualty, then the rent shall be proportionately paid up to the   
time of the casualty and thenceforth shall cease until the date when the        
premises shall have been repaired and restored by Owner, subject to Owner's     
right to elect not to restore the same as hereinafter provided. (d) If the      
demised premises are rendered wholly unusable or (whether or not the demised    
premises are damaged in whole or in part) if the building shall be so damaged   
that Owner shall decide to demolish it or to rebuild it, then, in any such      
events, Owner may elect to terminate this lease by written notice to Tenant,    
given within 90 days after such fire or casualty, specifying a date for the     
expiration of the lease, which date shall not be more than 60 days after the    
giving of such notice, and upon the date specified in such notice the term of   
this lease shall expire as fully and completely as if such date were the date   
set forth above for the termination of this lease and Tenant shall forthwith    
quit, surrender and vacate the premises without prejudice however, to Owner's   
rights and remedies against Tenant under the lease provisions in effect prior to
such termination, and any rent owing shall be paid up to such date and any      
payments of rent made by Tenant which were on account of any period subsequent  
to such date shall be returned to Tenant. Unless Owner shall serve a termination
notice as provided for herein, Owner shall make the repairs and restorations    
under the conditions of (b) and (c) hereof, with all reasonable expedition,     
subject to delays due to adjustment of insurance claims, labor troubles and     
causes beyond Owner's control. After any such casualty, Tenant shall cooperate  
with Owner's restoration by removing from the premises as promptly as reasonably
possible, all of Tenant's salvageable inventory and movable equipment,          
furniture, and other property. Tenant's liability for rent shall resume five (5)
days after written notice from Owner that the premises are substantially ready  
for Tenant's occupancy. (c) Nothing contained hereinabove shall relieve Tenant  
from liability that may exist as a result of damage from fire or other casualty,
and to the extent that such insurance is in force and collectible and to the    
extent permitted by law, Owner and Tenant each hereby releases and waives all   
right of recovery against the other or any one claiming through or under each of
them by way of subrogation or otherwise. The

foregoing release and waiver shall be in force only if both releasors' insurance
policies contain a clause providing that such a release or waiver shall not     
invalidate the insurance. If, and to the extent, that such waiver can be        
obtained only by the payment of additional premiums, then the party benefiting  
from the waiver shall pay such premium within ten days after written demand or  
shall be deemed to have agreed that the party obtaining insurance coverage shall
be free of any further obligation under the provisions hereof with respect to   
waiver of subrogation. Tenant acknowledges that Owner will not carry insurance  
on Tenant's furniture and/or furnishings or any fixtures or equipment,          
improvements, or appurtenances removable by Tenant and agrees that Owner will   
not be obligated to repair any damage thereto or replace the same. (d) Tenant   
hereby waives the provisions of Section 227 of the Real Property Law and agrees 
that the provisions of this article shall govern and control in lieu thereof.   

Eminent Domain: 10. If the whole or any part of the demised Premises shall be   
acquired or condemned by Eminent Domain for any public or quasi public use or   
purpose, then and in that event, the term of this lease shall cease and         
terminate from the date of title vesting in such proceeding and Tenant shall    
have no claim for the value of any unexpired term of said lease.                

Assignment Mortgage, Etc.: 11. Tenant, for itself, its heirs, distributees,     
executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns,       
expressly covenants that it shall not assign, mortgage or encumber this         
agreement, nor underlet, or suffer or permit the demised premises or any part   
thereof to be used by others, without the prior written consent of Owner in each
instance. Transfer of the majority of the stock of a corporate Tenant shall be  
deemed an assignment. If this lease be assigned, or if the demised premises or  
any part thereof be underlet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Owner    
may, after default by Tenant, collect rent from the assignee, under-tenant or   
occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rent herein reserved, but no
such assignment, underletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver 
of this covenant, or the acceptance of the assignee, under-tenant or occupant as
tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of        
covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained. The consent by Owner to an    
assignment or underletting shall not in any wise be construed to relieve Tenant 
from obtaining the express consent in writing of Owner to any further assignment
or underletting.                                                                

Electric Current: 12. Rates and conditions in respect to submetering or rent    
inclusion, as the case may be, to be added in RIDER attached hereto. Tenant     
covenants and agrees that at all times its use of electric current shall not    
exceed the capacity of existing leeders to the building or the risers or wiring 
installation and Tenant may not use any electrical equipment which, in Owner's  
opinion, reasonably exercised, will overload such installations or interfere    
with the use thereof by other tenants of the building. The change at any time of
the character of electric service shall in no wise make Owner liable or         
responsible to Tenant, for any loss, damages or expenses which Tenant may       
sustain.                                                                        

Access to Premises: 13. Owner or Owner's agents shall have the right (but shall 
not be obligated) to enter the demised premises in any emergency at any time,   
and, at other reasonable times, to examine the same and to make such repairs,   
replacements and improvements as Owner may deem necessary and reasonably        
desirable to any portion of the building or which Owner may elect to perform in 
the premises after Tenant's failure to make repairs or perform any work which   
Tenant is obligated to perform under this lease, or for the purpose of complying
with laws, regulations and other directions of governmental authorities. Tenant 
shall permit Owner to use and maintain and replace pipes and conduits in and    
through the demised premises and to erect new pipes and conduits therein        
provided, wherever possible, they are within walls or

otherwise concealed. Owner may, during the progress of any work in the demised  
premises, take all necessary materials and equipment into said premises without 
the same constituting an eviction nor shall the Tenant be entitled to any       
abatement of rent while such work is in progress nor to any damages by reason of
loss or interruption of business or otherwise. Throughout the term hereof Owner 
shall have the right to enter the demised premises at reasonable hours for the  
purpose of showing the same to prospective purchasers or mortgagees of the      
building, and during the last six months of the term hereof Owner shall have the
right to enter the demised premises at reasonable hours for the purpose of      
showing the same to prospective tenants and may, during said six months period, 
place upon the premises the usual notices "To Let" and "For Sale" which notices 
Tenant shall permit to remain thereon without molestation. If Tenant is not     
present to open and permit an entry into the premises, Owner or Owner's agents  
may enter the same whenever such entry may be necessary or permissible by master
key or forcibly and provided reasonable care is exercised to safeguard Tenant's 
property, such entry shall not render Owner or its agents liable therefor, nor  
in any event shall the obligations of Tenant hereunder be affected. If during   
the last month of the term Tenant shall have removed all or substantially all of
Tenant's property therefrom, Owner may immediately enter, alter, renovate or    
redecorate the demised premises without limitation or abatement of rent, or     
incurring liability to Tenant for any compensation and such act shall have no   
effect on this lease or Tenant's obligations hereunder.                         

Vault, Vault 14. No Vaults, vault Space or area, whether or not enclosed or     
covered, not within the property line of the building is leased hereunder,      
anything contained in or indicated on any sketch, blue print or plan, or        
anything contained elsewhere in this lease to the contrary notwithstanding,     
Owner makes no representation as to the location of the property line of the    
building. All vaults and vault space and all such areas not within the property 
line of the building, which Tenant may be permitted to use and/or occupy, is to 
be used and/or occupied under a revocable license, and if any such license be   
revoked, or if the amount of such space or area be diminished or required by any
federal, state or municipal authorities for such vault or area shall be paid by 
Tenant, if used by Tenant, whether or not specifically leased hereunder.        

Occupancy: 15. Tenant will not at any time use or occupy the demised premises in
violation of the certificate of occupancy issued for the building of which the  
demised premises are a part. Tenant has inspected the premises and accepts them 
as is, subject to the riders annexed hereto with respect to Owner's work, if    
any. In any event, Owner makes no representation as to the condition of the     
premises and Tenant agrees to accept the same subject to violations, whether or 
not of record. If any governmental license or permit shall be required for the  
proper and lawful conduct of Tenant's business, Tenant shall be responsible for 
and shall procure and maintain such license or permit.                          

Bankruptcy: 16. (a) Anything elsewhere in this lease to the contrary            
notwithstanding, this lease may be cancelled by Owner by sending of a written   
notice to Tenant within a reasonable time after the happening of any one or more
of the following events: (1) the commencement of a case in bankruptcy or under  
the laws of any state naming Tenant as the debtor; or (2) the making by Tenant  
of an assignment or any other arrangement for the benefit of creditors under any
state statute. Neither Tenant nor any person claiming through or under Tenant,  
or by reason of any statute or order of court, shall thereafter be entitled to  
possession of the premises demised but shall forthwith quit and surrender the   
premises. If this lease shall be assigned in accordance with its terms, the     
provisions of this Article 16 shall be applicable only to the party then owning 
Tenant's interest in this lease.

            (b) It is stipulated and agreed that in the event of the termination
of this lease pursuant to (a) hereof, Owner shall forthwith, notwithstanding any
other provisions of this lease to the contrary, be entitled to recover from     
Tenant as and for liquidated damages an amount equal to the difference between  
the rental reserved hereunder for the unexpired portion of the term demised and 
the fair and reasonable rental value of the demised premises for the same       
period. In the computation of such damages the difference between any           
installment of rent becoming due hereunder after the date of termination and the
fair and reasonable rental value of the demised premises for the period for     
which such installment of rent becoming due hereunder after the date of         
termination and the fair and reasonable rental value of the demised premises for
the period for which such installment was payable shall be discounted to the    
date of termination at the rate of four (4%) per annum. If such premises or any 
part thereof, before presentation of proof of such liquidated damages to any    
court, commission or tribunal, the amount of rent reserved upon such reletting  
shall be deemed to be the fair and reasonable rental value for the part or the  
whole of the premises so re-let during the term of the re-letting. Nothing      
herein contained shall limit or prejudice the right of such termination, an     
amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at  
the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, such damages are to be   
proved, whether or not such amount be greater, equal to, or less than the amount
of the difference referred to above.                                            

Default: 17. (1) If Tenant defaults in fulfilling any of the covenants of this  
lease including the covenants for payment of rent or additional rent; or if the 
demised premises becomes vacant or deserted "or if this lease be rejected under 
ss. 235 of Title 11 of the U.S. Code (bankruptcy code);" or if any execution or 
attachment shall be issued against Tenant or any of Tenant's property whereupon 
the demised premises shall be taken or occupied by someone other than Tenant; or
if Tenant shall make default with respect to any other lease between Owner and  
Tenant; or if Tenant shall have failed, after ten (10) days written notice, to  
redeposit with Owner any portion of the security deposited hereunder which Owner
has applied to the payment of any rent and additional rent due and payable      
hereunder or failed to move into or take possession of the premises within      
fifteen (15) days after the commencement of the term of this lease, of which    
fact Owner shall be the sole judge; then in any one or more of such events, upon
Owner serving a written ten (10) days notice upon Tenant specifying the nature  
of said default and upon the expiration of said ten (10) days, if Tenant shall  
have failed to comply with or remedy such default, or if the said default or    
omission complained of shall be of a nature that the same cannot be completely  
cured or remedied within ten (10) day period, and if Tenant shall not have      
diligently commenced during such default within such ten (10) day period, and   
shall not thereafter with reasonable diligence and in good faith, proceed to    
remedy or cure such default, then Owner may serve a written five (5) days'      
notice of cancellation of this lease upon Tenant, and upon the expiration of    
said five (5) day period were the day herein definitely fixed for the end and   
expiration of this lease and the term thereof and Tenant shall then quit and    
surrender the demised premises to Owner but Tenant shall remain liable as       
hereinafter provided.                                                           

           (2) If the notice provided for in (1) hereof shall have been given,
and the term shall expire as aforesaid; then and in any of such events Owner may
without notice, re-enter the demised premises either by force or otherwise, and 
dispossess Tenant by summary proceedings or otherwise, and the legal            
representative of Tenant or other occupant of demised premises and remove their 
effects and hold the premises as if this lease had not been made, and Tenant    
hereby waives the service of notice of intention to re-enter or to institute    
legal proceedings to that end. If Tenant shall make default hereunder prior to  
the date fixed as the commencement of any renewal or extension of this lease,   

EX-10.7

Owner may cancel and terminate such renewal or extension agreement by written   
notice.                                                                         

Remedies of Owner and Waiver such of Redemption: 18. In case of any default,    
re-entry, expiration and/or dispossess by summary proceedings or otherwise, (a) 
the rent, and additional rent, shall become due thereupon and be paid up to the 
time of such re-entry, dispossess and/or expiration, (b) Owner may re-let the   
premises or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of Owner or otherwise,
for a term or terms, which may at Owner's option be less than or exceed the     
period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this   
lease and may grant concessions or free rent or charge a higher rental than that
in this lease, (c) Tenant or the legal representatives of Tenant shall also pay 
Owner as liquidated damages for the failure of Tenant to observe and perform    
said Tenant's covenants herein contained, any deficiency between the rent hereby
reserved and or covenanted to be paid and the net amount, if any, of the rents  
collected on account of the subsequent lease or leases of the demised premises  
for each month of the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance 
of the term of this lease. The failure of Owner to re-let the premises or any   
part or parts thereof shall not release or affect Tenant's liability for        
damages. In computing such liquidated damages there shall be added to the said  
deficiency such expenses as Owner may incur in connection with re-letting, such 
as legal expenses, attorney's fees, brokerage, advertising and for keeping the  
demised premises in good order or for preparing the same for re-letting. Any    
such liquidated damages shall be paid in monthly installments by Tenant on the  
rent day specified in this lease and any suit brought to collect the amount of  
the deficiency for any month shall not prejudice in any way the rights of Owner 
to collect the deficiency for any subsequent month by a similar proceeding.     
Owner, in putting the demised premises in good order or preparing the same for  
re-rental may, at Owner's option, make such alterations, repairs, replacements, 
and/or decorations in the demised premises as Owner, in Owner's sole judgment,  
considers advisable and necessary for the purpose of re-letting the demised     
premises, and the making of such alterations, repairs, replacements, and/or     
decorations shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability  
hereunder as aforesaid. Owner shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever 
for failure to re-let the demised premises, or in the event that the demised    
premises are re-let, for failure to collect the rent thereof under such         
re-letting, and in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess, if  
any, of such net rents collected over the sums payable by Tenant to Owner       
hereunder. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any of the
covenants or provisions hereof, Owner shall have the right of injunction and the
right to invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity as if re-entry, summary  
proceedings and other remedies were not herein provided for. Mention in this    
lease of any particular remedy, shall not preclude Owner from any other remedy, 
in law or in equity. Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of       
redemption granted by or under any present or future laws.                      

Fees and Expenses: 19. If Tenant shall default in the observance or performance 
of any term or covenant on Tenant's part to be observed or performed under or by
virtue of any of the terms or provisions in any article of this lease, then,    
unless otherwise provided elsewhere in this lease, Owner may immediately or at  
any time thereafter and without notice perform the obligation of Tenant         
thereunder. If Owner, in connection with the foregoing or in connection with any
default by Tenant in the covenant to pay rent hereunder, makes any expenditures 
or incurs any obligations for the payment of money, including but not limited to
attorney's fees, in instituting, prosecuting or defending any action or         
proceedings, then Tenant will reimburse Owner for such sums so paid or          
obligations incurred with interest and costs. The foregoing expenses incurred by
reason of Tenant's default shall be deemed to be additional

rent hereunder and shall be paid by Tenant to Owner within five (5) days of     
rendition of any bill or statement to Tenant therefor. If Tenant's lease term   
shall have expired at the time of making of such expenditures or incurring of   
such obligations, such sums shall be recoverable by Owner as damages.           

Building Alterations And Management: 20. Owner shall have the right at any time 
without the same constituting an eviction and without incurring liability to    
Tenant therefor to change the arrangement and or location of public entrances,  
passageways, doors, doorways, corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets or other    
public parts of the building and to change the name, number or designation by   
which the building may be known. There shall be no allowance to Tenant for      
diminution of rental value and no liability on the part of Owner by reason of   
inconvenience, annoyance or injury to business arising from Owner or other      
Tenant making any repairs in the building or any such alterations, additions and
improvements. Furthermore, Tenant shall not have any claim against Owner by     
reason of Owner's imposition of any controls of the manner of access to the     
building by Tenant's social or business visitors as the Owner may deem necessary
for the security of the building and its occupants.                             

No Representations by Owner: 21. Neither Owner nor Owner's agents have made any 
representations or promises with respect to the physical condition of the       
building, the land upon which it is erected or the demised premises, the rents, 
leases, expenses of operation or any other matter or thing affecting or related 
to the demised premises or the building except as herein expressly set forth and
no rights, easement or licenses are acquired by Tenant by implication or        
otherwise except as expressly set forth in the provisions of this lease. Tenant 
has inspected the building and the demised premises and is thoroughly acquainted
with their condition and agrees to take the same "as is" on the date possession 
is tendered and acknowledged that the taking of possession of the demised       
premises by Tenant shall be conclusive evidence that the said premises and the  
building of which the same form a part were in good and satisfactory condition  
at the time such possession was so taken, except as to latent defects. All      
understandings and agreements heretofore made between the parties hereto are    
merged in this contract, which alone fully and completely expresses the         
agreement between Owner and Tenant and any executory agreement hereafter made   
shall be ineffective to change, modify, discharge or effect an abandonment of it
in whole or in part, unless such executory agreement is in writing and signed by
the party against whom enforcement of the change, modification, discharge or    
abandonment is sought.                                                          

End of Term: 22. Upon the expiration or other termination of the term of this   
lease, Tenant shall quit and surrender to Owner the demised premises, broom     
clean, in good order and condition, ordinary wear and damages which Tenant is   
not required to repair as provided elsewhere in this lease excepted, and Tenant 
shall remove all its property from the demised premises. Tenant's obligation to 
observe or perform this covenant shall survive the expiration or other          
termination of this lease. If the last day of the term of this Lease or any     
renewal thereof, falls on Sunday, this lease shall expire at noon on the        
preceding Saturday unless it be a legal holiday in which case it shall expire at
noon on the preceding business day.                                             

Quiet Enjoyment: 23. Owner covenants and agrees with Tenant that upon Tenant    
paying the rent and additional rent and observing and performing all the terms, 
covenants and conditions, on Tenant's part to be observed and performed, Tenant 
may peaceably and quietly enjoy the premises hereby demised without molestation 
or disturbance by the Landlord, subject, nevertheless, to the terms and         
conditions of this lease including, but not limited to, Article 34 hereof and to
the ground leases,

underlying leases and mortgages hereinbefore mentioned.                         

Failure To Give Possession: 24. If Owner is unable to give possession of the    
demised premises on the date of the commencement of the term hereof, because of 
the holding-over or retention of possession of any tenant, undertenant or       
occupants or if the demised premises are located in a building being            
constructed, because such building has not been sufficiently completed to make  
the premises ready for occupancy or because of the fact that a certificate of   
occupancy has not been procured or if Owner has not completed any work required 
to be performed by Owner, or for any other reason, Owner shall not be subject to
any liability for failure to give possession on said date and the validity of   
the lease shall not be impaired under such circumstances, nor shall the same be 
construed in any wise to extend the term of this lease, but the rent payable    
hereunder shall be abated (provided Tenant is not responsible for Owner's       
inability to obtain possession or complete any work required) until after Owner 
shall have given Tenant notice that the premises are substantially ready for    
Tenant's occupancy. If permission is given to Tenant to enter into the          
possession of the demised premises or to occupy premises other than the demised 
premises prior to the date specified as the commencement of the term of this    
lease, Tenant covenants and agrees that such occupancy shall be deemed to be    
under all the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this lease, except 
as to the covenant to pay rent. The provisions of this article are intended to  
constitute "an express provision to the contrary" within the meaning of Section 
223-a of the New York Real Property Law.                                        

No Waiver: 25. The failure of Owner to seek redress for violation of, or to     
insist upon the strict performance of any covenant or condition of this lease or
any of the Rules or Regulations, set forth hereafter adopted by Owner, shall not
prevent a subsequent act which would have originally constituted a violation    
from having all the force and effect of an original violation. The receipt by   
Owner of rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this lease shall  
not be deemed a waiver of such breach and no provision of this lease shall be   
deemed to have been waived by Owner unless such waiver be in writing signed by  
Owner. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Owner of a lesser amount than the     
monthly rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of   
the earliest stipulated rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement of any     
check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed an      
accord and satisfaction, and Owner may accept such check or payment without     
prejudice to Owner's right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue any    
other remedy in this lease provided. All checks tendered to Owner as and for the
rent of the demised premises be deemed payments for the account of Tenant.      
Acceptance by Owner of rent from anyone other than Tenant shall not be deemed to
operate as an assignment or subletting by Tenant of the demised premises to such
payor, or as a modification of the provisions of this lease. No act or thing    
done by Owner or Owner's agents during the term hereby demised shall be deemed  
an acceptance of a surrender of said premises and no agreement to accept such   
surrender shall be valid unless in writing signed by Owner. No employee of Owner
or Owner's agent shall have any power to accept the keys of said premises prior 
to the termination of the lease and the delivery of keys to any such agent or   
employee shall not operate as a termination of the lease or a surrender of the  
premises.                                                                       

Waiver of Trial by Jury: 26. It is mutually agreed by and between Owner and     
Tenant that the respective parties hereto shall and they hereby do waive trial  
by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of parties  
hereto against the other (except for personal injury or property damage) on any 
matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this lease, the  
relationship of Owner and Tenant, Tenant's use of or occupancy of said premises,
and any emergency statutory or any other                                        

EX-10.7

statutory remedy. It is further mutually agreed that in the event Owner         
commences any summary proceeding for possession of the premises, Tenant will not
interpose any counterclaim of whatever nature or description in any such        
proceeding.                                                                     

Inability to Perform: 27. This Lease and the obligation of Tenant to pay rent   
hereunder and perform all of the other covenants and agreements hereunder on    
part of Tenant to be performed shall in no wise be affected, impaired or excused
because Owner is unable to fulfill any of its obligations under this lease or to
supply or is delayed in supplying any service expressly or impliedly to be      
supplied or is unable to make, or is delayed in making any repair, additions,   
alterations or decorations or is unable to supply or is delayed in supplying any
equipment or fixtures if Owner is prevented or delayed from so doing by reason  
of strike or labor troubles or any cause whatsoever beyond Owner's sole control 
including, but not limited to, government preemption in connection with a       
National Emergency or by reason of any rule, order or regulation of any         
department or subdivision thereof of any government agency or by reason of the  
conditions of supply and demand which have been or are affected by war or other 
emergency                                                                       

Bills and Notices: 28. Except as otherwise in this lease provided a bill,       
statement, notice or communication which Owner may desire or be required to give
to Tenant, shall be deemed sufficiently given or rendered it, in writing,       
delivered to Tenant personally or sent by registered or certified mail addressed
to Tenant at the building of which the demised premises form a part or at the   
last known residence address or business address of Tenant, and the time of the 
rendition of such bill or statement and of the giving of such notice or         
communication shall be deemed to be the time when the same is delivered to      
Tenant, mailed, or left at the premises as herein provided. Any notice by Tenant
to Owner must be served by registered or certified mail addressed to Owner at   
the address first hereinabove given or at such other address as Owner shall     
designate by written notice.                                                    

Water Charges: 29. If Tenant requires, uses or consumes water for any purpose   
(of which fact Tenant constitutes Owner to be the sole judge) Owner may install 
a water meter and thereby measure Tenant's water consumption for all purposes.  
Tenant shall pay Owner for the cost of the meter and the cost of the            
installation, thereof and throughout the duration of Tenant's occupancy Tenant  
shall keep said meter and installation equipment in good working order and      
repair at Tenant's own cost and expense in default of which Owner may cause such
meter and equipment to be replaced or repaired and collect the cost thereof from
Tenant, as additional rent. Tenant agrees to pay for water consumed, as shown on
said meter as and when bills are rendered, and on default in making such payment
Owner may pay such charges and collect the same from Tenant, as additional rent.
Tenant covenants and agrees to pay, as additional rent the sewer rent, charge or
any other tax, rent, levy or charge which now or hereafter is assessed, imposed 
or a lien upon the demised premises or the realty of which they are part        
pursuant to law, order or regulation made or issued in connection with the use, 
consumption, maintenance or supply of water, water system or sewage or sewage   
connection or system. If the building or the demised premises or any part       
thereof is supplied with water through a meter through which water is also      
supplied to other premises Tenant shall pay to Owner, as additional rent, on the
first day of each month, _________% ($________) of the total meter charges as   
Tenant's portion. Independently of and in addition to any of the remedies       
reserved to Owner hereinabove or elsewhere in this lease. Owner may sue for and 
collect any monies to be paid by Tenant or paid by Owner for any of the reasons 
or purposes hereinabove set forth.                                              

Sprinklers: 30. Anything elsewhere in this lease to the contrary                
notwithstanding, if the New York Board of Fire Underwriters or the New York Fire
Insurance Exchange or any bureau, department or official of the federal, state  
or city government recommend or require the installation of a sprinkler system  
or that any changes, modifications, alterations, or additional sprinkler heads  
or other equipment be made or supplied in an existing sprinkler system by reason
of

Tenant's business, or the location of partitions, trade fixtures, or other      
contents of the demised premises, or for any other reason, or if any such       
sprinkler system installations, modifications, alterations, additional sprinkler
heads or other such equipment, become necessary to prevent the imposition of a  
penalty or charge against the full allowance for a sprinkler system in the fire 
insurance rate set by any said Exchange or by any fire insurance company, Tenant
shall, at Tenant's expense, promptly make such sprinkler system installations,  
changes, modifications, alterations, and supply additional sprinkler heads or   
other equipment as required whether the work involved shall be structural or    
non-structural in nature. Tenant shall pay to Owner as additional rent the sum  
of $____________, on the first day of each month during the term of this lease, 
as Tenant's portion of the contract price for sprinkler supervisory service.    

Elevators, Heat, Cleaning: 31. As long as Tenant is not in default under any of 
the covenants of this lease Owner shall:                                        

            (a) furnish heat through the existing facilities serving the Demised
Premises, water and other services supplied by Owner to the demised premises,   
when and as required by law, on business days from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on      
Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.; (b) clean the public halls and public portions 
of the building which are used in common by all tenants. Tenant shall, at       
Tenant's expense, keep the demised premises, including windows, clean and in    
order, to satisfaction of Owner, and for that purpose shall employ the person or
persons, or corporation approved by Owner. Tenant shall pay the cost of removal 
of any of Tenant's refuse and rubbish from the building. Tenant shall           
independently contract for the removal of such refuse and rubbish. The removal  
of such refuse and rubbish by others shall be subject to such rules and         
regulations as, in the judgment of Owner, are necessary for the proper operation
of the building. Owner reserves the right to stop service of the heating,       
elevator, plumbing and electric systems, when necessary, by reason of accident, 
or emergency, or for repairs, alterations, replacements or improvements, in the 
judgment of Owner desirable or necessary to be made, until said repairs,        
alterations, replacements or improvements shall have been completed. If the     
building of which the demised premises are a part supplies manually operated    
elevator service, Owner may proceed with alterations necessary to substitute    
automatic control elevator service upon ten (10) day written notice to Tenant   
without in any way affecting the obligations of Tenant hereunder, provided that 
the same shall be done with the minimum amount of inconvenience to Tenant, and  
Owner pursues with due diligence the completion of the alterations.             

Security: 32. [Deleted]                                                         

Captions: 33. The Captions are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for 
reference and in no way define, limit or describe the scope of this lease nor   
the intent of any provision hereof.                                             

Definitions: 34. The term "Owner" as used in this lease means only the owner of 
the fee or of the leasehold of the building, or the mortgagee in possession, for
the time being of the land and building (or the owner of a lease of the building
or of the land and building) of which the demised premises form a part, so that 
in the event of any sale or sales of said land and building or of said lease, or
in the event of a lease of said building, or of the land and building, the said 
Owner shall be and hereby is entirely freed and relieved of all covenants and   
obligations of Owner hereunder, and it shall be deemed and construed without    
further agreement between the parties or their successors in interest, or       
between the parties and the purchaser, at any such sale, or the said lessee of  
the building, or of the land and building, that the purchaser or the lessee of  
the building has assumed and agreed to carry out any and all covenants and      
obligations of Owner hereunder. The words "re-enter" and "re-entry" as used in  
this lease are not restricted to their technical legal meaning. The term "rent"

Rider No. 1, attached to and made a part of Lease dated                         

Between CMC MIC HOLDING COMPANY, L.L.C.                                         

As Owner and                                                                    
RONNYBROOK FARM DAIRY, INC.                           

As Tenant                                                                       

A. TAXES. Tenant agrees to pay as additional rent Tenant's Proportionate Share  
of any and all increases in Real Estate Taxes above the Real Estate Taxes for   
the "Base Tax Year") imposed on the Property with respect to every Tax Year or  
part thereof during the term of this lease, whether any such increase results   
from a higher tax rate or an increase in the assessed valuation of the property,
or both. "Property" shall mean the land and building including any "air rights",
of which the demised premises are a part. "Real Estate Taxes" shall mean taxes  
and assessments imposed upon the Property including any special assessment      
imposed thereon for any purpose whatsoever and also including taxes payable by  
Owner to a ground lessor with respect thereto, and unmetered water taxes and    
sewer rents. If due to a change in the method of taxation any franchise, income,
profit, or other tax, however designated, shall be levied against Owner's       
interest in the property in whole or in part for or in lieu of any tax which    
would otherwise constitute Real Estate Taxes such change in method of taxation  
shall be included in the term "Real Estate Taxes" for purposes hereof. "Tax     
year" shall mean each period of twelve months commencing on the first day of    
July subsequent to the Base Tax Year, in which occurs any part of the term of   
this lease or such other period of twelve months occurring during the term of   
this lease as hereafter may be duly adopted as the fiscal year for real estate  
tax purposes of the City of New York. All such payments shall be appropriately  
pro-rated for any partial Tax Years occurring during the first and last years of
the term of this lease. A copy of the Tax Bill of the City of New York shall be 
sufficient evidence of the amount of Real Estate Taxes and for calculation of   
the amount to be paid by Tenant.                                                

Only Owner shall be eligible to institute tax reduction or other    
proceedings to reduce the assessed valuation. Should Owner be successful in any 
such reduction proceedings and obtain a rebate for periods during which Tenant  
has paid Tenant's share of increases, Owner shall, after deducting Owner's      
expenses in connection therewith including without limitation attorney's fees   
and disbursements, return to Tenant tenant's pro-rata share of such rebate      
except that Tenant may not obtain any portion of the benefits which may accrue  
to Owner from any reduction in Real Estate Taxes for any Tax Year below those   
imposed in the Base Tax year.                                                   

B. OPERATING EXPENSES For purposes of this article only, the following words and
terms have the following meaning:                                               

(1) "BASE OPERATION YEAR" shall have the meaning provided in Article 41.        

(2) "OPERATION YEAR" shall mean each calendar year in which occurs any part of  
the term of this lease. If the lease term shall commence or terminate on a date 
other than January 1, or December 31 of an Operation Year, any increase or      
decrease in additional rent by reason hereof shall be appointed.                

(3) "OPERATING EXPENSES" shall mean any or all of the following incurred by     
Owner with respect to the building of which the demised premises form a part:   
salaries, wages, hospitalization, medical, surgical and general welfare benefits
(including group insurance) and pension payments of employees of Owner engaged  
in the operation and maintenance of the building of which the demised premises  
are a part, payroll taxes, workmen's compensation insurance, gas, oil, or other 
fuel, electricity, steam, together with any taxes thereon, utility taxes, water,
(including sewer rental), rent, casualty and liability and other insurance

repairs and maintenance, building and cleaning supplies, uniforms and dry       
cleaning window cleaning, management fees, service contracts with independent   
contractors, telephone,

telegraph, stationery, advertising, and all other expenses paid in connection   
with the operation of said premises properly chargeable against income,         
including but not limited to accounting expenses for all statements with respect
to Owner's Property, including statements required under this Article and any   
work in connection with any governmental entity, and attorney's fees and fees to
professionals for services rendered in connection with the maintenance, repair  
and operation of Owner's Property and in respect of real estate taxes payable on
Owner's Property; dues and fees for trade and Industry associations and costs of
their related activities, all relating to Owner's Property; and home office     
administration costs for the proportionate share of any salaries of Owner's     
employees engaged in Property management and for bookkeeping and telephone.     
Owner's Operating Expenses shall not include any item otherwise properly        
constituting an operating expense to the extent payment of reimbursement        
therefore is actually received by Owner from space occupants for services       
rendered or performed directly for the account of such space occupants and for  
which Owner makes a separate charge, or for electrical energy for which Tenant's
pay under an electrical rent inclusion or submetering plans provided, however,  
that the foregoing exclusion shall be only to the extent of the actual cost to  
Owner of the services rendered to each space occupant, nor real estate taxes,   
mortgage interest and amortization, brokerage or other costs in connection with 
leasing or mortgages, rent under a superior lease, depreciation, nor the cost of
any item required under good accounting and tax practice to be capitalized      
(Other than those which under generally applied real estate practice are expense
or regarded as deferred expenses and other than capital expenditures made by    
reason of legal requirements or insurance requirements, in any of which cases   
the cost thereof shall be included in Operating Expenses for the Operational    
Year in which the costs are incurred and subsequent Operational Years, amortized
on a straight-line basis over an appropriate period not exceeding fifteen years,
including interest at the prime interest rate changed by Owner's first          
institutional mortgagee at the time of Owner's having made such expenditure or  
in the absence thereof by Citibank, N.A.) If Owner shall eliminate the payment  
of any of the salaries, wages, benefits or other payments to employees and the  
payroll taxes and workmen's compensation insurance premiums relating thereto as 
the result of the installation of labor-saving devices or by other means, in    
computing the additional rent payable under this paragraph (B), the             
corresponding items of said salaries, wages, benefits and other payments to     
employees and of said taxes and premiums relating thereto in the base year and  
there shall be included in Operating Costs the cost and expense of such         
labor-saving device as amortized over the useful life thereof, or the amount of 
the reduction in Operating costs, whichever is the lesser.                      

(4) In the event that the Operating Expenses incurred by Owner during any       
Operation Year shall be greater than the Operating Expenses incurred by Owner   
during the Base Operation Year, Tenant shall pay to Owner as additional rent for
the Operation Year in question an amount equal to Tenant's Proportionate Share  
of the Increase.                                                                

   The amounts due under subdivision A. "TAXES" and B. "OPERATING EXPENSE"
hereunder shall be collected as additional rent without set off or deduction,   
and shall be paid in the following manner.                                      

(A) Any adjustment in rent occurring by reason of subdivision A "TAXES" shall be
effective as of the first day of the Tax Year concerned and, after Owner shall  
have furnished Tenant with a statement setting forth the Real Estate Taxes for  
the Base Tax Year and the Real Estate Taxes for the Tax Year concerned, all     
monthly installments of rent shall reflect 1/12th of the annual amount of such  
adjustment until a new adjustment becomes effective pursuant to the provisions  
of said subdivision A. Any adjustments in rent payable pursuant to this Rider by
reason of changes in the Real Estate Taxes for the Base Year or any Tax Year    
prior to the then current Tax Year, if any, shall be paid by Tenant to Owner    
within thirty (30) days after the statement covering such period is delivered to
Tenant or a credit given by Owner towards the next ensuing rent installments    
until the credit is exhausted, as the case may be.

B) For the first Operation Year and each subsequent Operation Year Owner shall  
furnish Tenant with an operating expense statement, Tenant shall pay the amount 
of additional rent shown thereon, if any, within thirty days (30) after         
rendition of such statement. Tenant shall be given a credit on such statement   
for payments made during the Operating Year on account of the amount due and in 
case of an overpayment Tenant shall receive a credit. In order to provide for   
current payment of additional rent which may be payable upon the rendering of   
the next Operating Expense Statement, all monthly installments of rent following
the rendition of any such statements shall reflect one-twelfth of the annualized
amount of the additional rent shown on the most recent statement and 1/12th of  
the amount, if any, by which the amount due under such most recent statement    
increased over the most previous statement without respect to credits for       
advanced payments. In all events Tenant's tax escalation payments shall be made 
so that they are due and payable at least thirty (30) days prior to the date    
payments are due either to the taxing authority or to any first institutional   
mortgagee under a real estate tax escrow requirement.                           

   The statements of Operating Expenses to be furnished by Owner hereunder
shall be prepared in reasonable detail by a Certified Public Accountant (who may
be a CPA employed by Owner for the audit of Owner's accounts). Said CPA may rely
on Owner's allocations and estimates provided such CPA determines that there is 
a reasonable basis for such allocations and estimates. The statements thus      
furnished to Tenant shall constitute the final determination as between Owner   
and Tenant of the Operating Expenses for the period covered thereby. If any such
Tax or Operating Expenses for the statement is furnished to Tenant after the    
commencement of the effective date of any such adjustment, there shall be       
promptly paid by Tenant to Owner an amount equal to the portion of such         
adjustment allocable to that part of the Operation of Tax Year, as the case may 
be, which shall have elapsed prior to the first day of the calendar month next  
succeeding the calendar month in which said statement was furnished to Tenant.  

Owner's failure during the lease term to prepare and deliver any of the         
foregoing tax bills, statements or bills, or Owner's failure to make a demand,  
shall not in any way waive or cause Owner to forfeit or surrender Owner's rights
to collect any of the foregoing items of additional rent which may have become  
due during the term of this lease. Tenant's liability for the amounts due under 
this article shall survive the expiration of the term.                          

In no event shall any rent adjustment hereunder result in a decrease in the     
fixed annual rent.

      42.04 If the Commencement Date occurs on a day other than the first day of
a calendar month or the Expiration Date occurs on a day other than the last day 
of a calendar month, the Fixed Rental for such calendar month shall be prorated 
based upon the number of days remaining in said month divided by thirty (30) and
with respect to the first month, the balance of the first month's Fixed Rental  
theretofore paid shall be credited against the next monthly installment of Fixed
Rental then due under this Lease.                                               

43. AS-IS POSSESSION:                                                           

     43.01 Tenant acknowledges that it has made a full and complete inspection

in its then "as is" condition. Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord,       
Landlord's agent or any broker, has made any representations or promises in     
regard to the Demised Premises for the term herein demised. The taking of       
possession of the Demised Premises by Tenant shall be conclusive evidence that  
the Demised Premises complied with the condition in which the Demised Premises  
were to be delivered to Tenant under this lease.                                

43.02 All installations, materials or work which may be necessary or
desirable to prepare, equip, decorate or furnish the Demised Premises for

terms, covenants and conditions of this lease, including without limitation,    
Article 3 hereof.                                                               

      43.03 All lighting, electrical, heating, ventilating, air-conditioning and
plumbing equipment, installations and fixtures now or hereafter installed or    
located at or in the Demised Premises by or on behalf of Tenant shall, upon

surrendered to Landlord upon the expiration or termination of

responsible for charges for electricity, water (hot or cold), gas or any other  
utilities or for the furnishing of any heat, water (hot or cold),               
air-conditioning or any other services. All meters at the Demised Premises for  
the purpose of measuring Tenant's consumption and demand of the respective      
utilities (electricity, gas, water, etc.) shall be installed by Tenant, at its  
sole cost and expense, prior to opening for business in the Demised Premises (or
if Landlord so elects, shall, be installed by Landlord at Tenant's expense to be
reimbursed to Landlord upon demand) and shall thereafter be maintained by       
Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, in good working order and condition. 

45. ADDENDUM TO ARTICLE 6:                                                      

 45.01 Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Article 6,
Tenant shall comply in all respects with all "Environmental Laws" relating to   
Tenant's conduct of its business at the Demised Premises. For the purpose of

local laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations or any judicial or         
administrative decisions now in effect or hereinafter enacted relating to       
hazardous materials, health and safety or pollution or protection of the        
environment insofar as the aforesaid relate to Tenant, Tenant's operations or

governmental authorities having jurisdiction over either the Demised Premises or
the conduct of Tenant's business therein to the extent necessary for the conduct
of Tenant's business in the Demised Premises, including without limitation, the 
Permitted Use.                                                                  

   45.03 In the event that any repair, alteration, addition or improvement
proposed to be performed by Tenant in or to the Demised Premises shall trigger  
any requirement of any federal, state, county, municipal or other law, order,   
rule or regulation that any other repair, alteration, addition or improvement be
performed in or to the Demised Premises or other part of the Building in which  
the Demised Premises are located (herein, the "Triggered Requirement"), whether 
or not such Triggered Requirement results from any pre-existing condition in the
Demised Premises or Building, then Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall  
cause the Triggered Requirement to be compiled with as part of Tenant's proposed
repair, alteration, addition or improvement and deliver to Landlord evidence of 
Tenant's satisfaction of the Triggered Requirement.                             

46. PLEDGE OF TENANT'S FIXTURES                                                 

      46.01 Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a first security interest in all of
"Tenant's Fixtures" (as hereinafter defined) as security for the full and       
faithful performance and observance by Tenant of all of the terms, agreements,  
covenants and conditions of this lease, including the payment of all of the     
rents herein reserved. Landlord shall be entitled to all of the rights and      
remedies of a "secured party" under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of 
New York with respect to such security interest. This Section 46.01 is intended 
by the parties to constitute a "security agreement" for all purposes of the     
Uniform Commercial Code. Tenant agrees that it shall own all of Tenant's        
Fixtures in fee simple absolute, free of all leases, pledges, mortgages,        
encumbrances, grants or any other further security interests in all or any part 
of Tenant's Fixtures, whether superior or subordinate to Landlord's interest. At
all times Landlord's security interest shall be a valid and perfected first     
security interest in Tenant's Fixtures. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense,   
shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all claims, damages, costs and  
expenses from any party asserting any leasehold interest

(whether as lessor or lessee), pledge, mortgage, encumbrance or security        
interest in Tenant's Fixtures, whether superior or subordinate to Landlord's    
interest, and Tenant shall take such further actions to perfect and preserve    
Landlord's interest as a valid and perfected first security interest. As used   
herein, the term "Tenant's Fixtures" shall mean all lighting, electrical,       
heating, ventilating, air-conditioning and plumbing equipment, installations and
fixtures now or hereafter installed or located at the Demised Premises by or on 
behalf of Tenant, any replacements thereof and all rents, issues, profits and   
proceeds of any of the foregoing, irrespective of whether any such property     
shall be affixed to the realty.                                                 

46.02 Tenant shall, from time to time, within ten (10) days after   
Landlord's written request therefor, execute and deliver to Landlord any        
financing statements, financing continuation statements, security agreements    
and/or any other documents that Landlord shall consider necessary or desirable  
under the Uniform Commercial Code to create, confirm the creation of, perfect,  
renew, re-perfect, or renew the perfection of Landlord's security interest. To  
the fullest extent permitted by the Uniform Commercial Code, Tenant hereby      
authorizes Landlord to sign and file, from time to time, without the necessity  
of obtaining the signature of Tenant thereon, any financing statement(s) and/or 
financing continuation statement(s) that Landlord shall consider necessary or   
desirable in connection therewith. Further, Landlord may, from time to time,    
search the public records to determine if any further security interests have   
been filed against Tenant's Fixtures. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord within ten
(10) days of demand, as Additional Rental, for the cost of all filings and      
searches referred to in this Section 46.02.                                     

47. INDEMNITY-LIABILITY INSURANCE:                                              

     47.01 Tenant covenants and agrees to indemnify and save Landlord harmless
from and against any and all claims for damages or injuries to goods, wares,    
merchandise and property and/or for any personal injury or loss of life in, upon
or about the Demised Premises and, to the extent arising from the acts or       
negligence of Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, the     
Building, as well as the sidewalks adjoining the Demised Premises.              

   47.02 Tenant covenants to provide on or before the Commencement Date of
the term hereof and to keep in force during the term hereof for the benefit of  
Landlord and Tenant: (a) a comprehensive policy of liability insurance          
protecting Landlord and Tenant against any liability whatsoever occasioned by   
accident on or about the Demised Premises or any appurtenances thereto, with    
limits of liability thereunder not less than the amount of Three Million and    
00/100 ($3,000,000.00) Dollars of combined single limit comprehensive broad form
coverage on a per occurrence basis; and (b) Fire and extended coverage,         
vandalism, malicious mischief, water damage and special extended coverage       
insurance in an amount adequate to cover the cost of replacement of all         
fixtures, decorations and improvements in the Demised Premises. Such policies   
are to be written by good and solvent insurance companies reasonably            
satisfactory to Landlord with a Best's rating not less than A-8 and shall name  
as additional insureds the Landlord, Landlord's managing agent and such other   
parties as Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing. Such insurance may be       
carried under a blanket of policy covering the Demised Premises and other       
locations of Tenant, if any, provided such blanket policy contains a designated 
aggregate limit of liability coverage for the Demised Premises alone of not less
than $3,000,000 and Tenant delivers to Landlord evidence thereof.               

     47.03 Prior to the time such insurance is first required to be carried by
Tenant and thereafter, at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any 
such policy, Tenant agrees to deliver to Landlord either a duplicate original of
the aforesaid policies or a certificate evidencing such insurance, provided said
certificate or policies contain an endorsement that such insurance may not be   
cancelled or modified except upon thirty (30) days' notice to Landlord together 
with evidence of payment for the policy. Tenant's failure to provide and keep in
force the aforementioned insurance shall be regarded as a material default      
hereunder, entitling Landlord to exercise any or all of the remedies as provided
in this lease in the event of Tenant's default.

   48.01 Tenant covenants, warrants and represents to Landlord that Tenant

Landlord harmless against any and all liability from any claims of any broker   
claiming to have introduced Tenant to the Demised Premises or the Building or   
represent Tenant in connection with the renting of the Demised Premises         
(including, without limitation, the cost of counsel fees in connection with the 
defense of any such claims in connection with the renting of the Demised        
Premises).

    49.01 Tenant shall look solely to the estate and property of Landlord in
the Building, for the satisfaction of Tenant's remedies for the collection of a 
judgment (or other judicial process) requiring the payment of money by Landlord 
in the event of any default or breach by Landlord with respect to any of the    
terms, covenants and conditions of the lease to be observed and/or performed by 
Landlord, and no other property or assets of Landlord or any partner, member,   
officer or director thereof, disclosed or undisclosed, shall be subject to levy,
execution or other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of Tenant's       
remedies under or with respect to this lease, the relationship of Landlord and  
Tenant hereunder, or Tenant's use and occupancy of the Demised Premises. Without
limiting the foregoing, it is further understood that under no event or         
circumstance shall Landlord be held responsible for the acts of any third       
parties, including without limitation, any other tenants or occupants of the    
Building or their guests, employees, agents, contractors or invitees, it being  
expressly understood and agreed that Landlord's liability for any default in the
Landlord's obligations under this lease are expressly limited to the acts and   
omissions of the Landlord and its agents and employees.                         

50. OPERATING COVENANTS:                                                        

   50.01 Cleaning: The entire Demised Premises, including store fronts and
any glass show windows and all sidewalks adjacent to the Demised Premises, are

damage to the sidewalks or common areas of the building to the extent caused by 
the acts or negligence of Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors or       
invitees.                                                                       

50.02 Removal of Garbage: Tenant agrees that it shall independently 
contract, at its sole cost and expense, for the removal of all rubbish, refuse  
and waste from the Demised Premises, utilizing contractors and subcontractors   
approved (in writing, in advance) by Landlord. The removal of such rubbish,     
refuse, garbage shall be subject to such rules and regulations as, in the       
reasonable judgment of Landlord, are necessary for the proper operation of the  
Building. Tenant shall comply with all applicable requirements, if any, of the  
Department of Health and Sanitation of the City of New York relating to the     
separation and/or treatment of such rubbish prior to its placement for disposal.
Tenant shall accumulate garbage for collection in concealed and enclosed metal  
containers located solely in the Demised Premises. Tenant further agrees not to

any rubbish or garbage in, on or about any part of the Demised Premises, and not
to permit any garbage or rubbish to be collected or disposed of from the Demised
Premises during the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 12 Midnight, except in strike and

50.03 Extermination: Tenant, at its expense, shall keep the Demised 
Premises and the areas adjacent to the Demised Premises, free from vermin, rats,
mice and insects, and, prior to the opening of the Demised Premises for

service contract, with a person or company approved by Landlord (which approval 
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), for the extermination of vermin,
rats,

all renewals or replacements thereof to be in form reasonably approved by       
Landlord, and a copy thereof to be delivered to Landlord prior to the opening of
the Demised Premises for business or, in the case of renewal or replacement     
contracts, prior to the termination or expiration of the prior contract.        

     50.04 No Obstruction: Tenant shall not encumber or obstruct, or permit to
be encumbered or obstructed, any portion of the sidewalk, entrances or common   
and public areas, of the Building adjacent to or abutting upon the Demised      
Premises. Tenant shall not use, or permit to be used, any area or space outside 
the Demised Premises for the conduct of Tenant's business and shall not permit  
Tenant's employees, agents, contractors or invitees to linger, loiter or        
assemble outside the Demised Premises.                                          

   50.05 Deliveries: Tenant agrees that Tenant's deliveries to the Demised
Premises shall be subject to Landlord's rules and regulations as shall be       
promulgated from time to time throughout the term of this lease. Under no       
circumstances shall any portion of the lobby of the Building be used for        
Tenant's deliveries.                                                            

     50.06 Continuous Operation: Tenant agrees that, notwithstanding any other
provision of this lease, that it will be open for business not less than seven  
(7) days per week except on federal holidays that fifty (50%) percent or more of
the retail operations then in business in the Building jointly agree to close   
and during all hours observed by a majority of the retail tenants in the        
concourse level of the Building.

odors, if any, and will complete such installations as expeditiously as possible
thereafter. In the event such condition is not promptly remedied, Landlord may, 
at its discretion, cure such condition and thereafter add the cost and expense  
incurred by Landlord therefor to the next monthly rental to become due and      
Tenant shall pay said amount as Additional Rental.                              

   50.08 Plumbing: Tenant may install and connect all of its utility waste
lines to those now existing in the Building, sidewalk or streets, but agrees not
to use the plumbing for any purpose other than that for which it was constructed
and agrees, further, not to permit any food, waste or other foreign substance to
be thrown or drawn into the pipes. Tenant agrees to maintain the plumbing that  
it installs in good order, repair and condition and to repair any damage        
resulting from any violation of this Article. Tenant further agrees to make any 
repairs to the plumbing of the Building if the damage thereto is caused by      
Tenant's use of such plumbing. Notwithstanding anything in this lease to the    
contrary, all such repairs shall be conducted by contractors and subcontractors 
satisfactory to Landlord in its sole discretion.                                

   50.09 No Excessive Noise: Tenant agrees that it will perform all of its
work required or permitted hereunder and conduct its business in the Demised    
Premises throughout the term of this lease in such a manner so as not to create 
any excessive noise, which disturbs any of the other tenants or occupants of the
Building.                                                                       

50.10 Material Inducement: The provisions of this Article 50 are a  
material inducement for Landlord to execute and deliver this lease. Any failure 
by Tenant to comply with the requirements of this Article 50 shall be deemed a  
material breach of this lease, for which Landlord shall be entitled to any and  
all of its remedies in accordance with the terms, conditions and covenants of   
this lease.

mortgage shall succeed to the rights of Landlord under this lease, whether      
through possession or foreclosure action or delivery of a new lease or deed,

landlord under this lease, and shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument
that such successor landlord may reasonably request to evidence such attornment.
Upon such attornment this lease shall continue in full force and effect as, or

        (a) be liable for any previous act or omission of Landlord under

expressly approved in writing by the lessor of the superior lease or the holder 
of the superior mortgage through or by reason of which the successor landlord   
shall have succeeded to the rights of Landlord under this lease.                

  51.02 In the event any provision of this lease shall conflict with the

52. ADDENDUM TO ARTICLE 17 (DEFAULT):                                           

      52.01 Any payment made more than ten (10) days after the due date thereof,
shall be subject to a late charge of four (4%) percent of the amount so overdue,
as consideration for the additional expense incurred by the Landlord in the     
handling thereof. Such late charges shall be due with any such late payment.    

53. PORNOGRAPHIC USE PROHIBITED:

thereon. In the event of any violation by Tenant of the provisions of this      
Article 53, Tenant shall, immediately upon notice from Landlord, cease the      
objectionable, conduct. The parties agree that in such instance, Landlord will  
suffer irreparable harm for which money damages will be an insufficient remedy. 
For that reason, in the event Tenant fails to cease such objectionable conduct  
as aforesaid, Landlord, in addition to any rights otherwise available to it     
under this lease and pursuant to law and equity, shall have the right to a court
order granting an injunction against Tenant's objectionable conduct as          
aforesaid, application for such injunction to be made without notice.           

54. MISCELLANEOUS:                                                              

  54.01 Conflict of Terms: In the event any term, covenant, condition or
agreement contained in this Rider shall conflict or be inconsistent with any    
term, covenant, condition or agreement contained in the printed portion of this 
lease, then the parties agree that the Rider provision shall prevail.           

    54.02 Governing Law: This lease shall be governed in all respects by the
laws of the State of New York.                                                  

      54.03 Saving Provision: If any provision of this lease, or its application
to any situation shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder 
to this lease, or the

application thereof to situations other than that as to which it is invalid or  
unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and every provision of this lease 
shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.          

  54.04 Lease Not Binding Unless Executed: Submission by Landlord of the
within lease for execution by Tenant, shall confer no rights nor impose any     
obligations on either party unless and until both Landlord and Tenant shall have
executed this lease and duplicate originals thereof shall have been delivered to
the respective parties.                                                         

     54.05 No Recording: Neither this lease nor any memorandum hereof shall be
recorded without the Landlord's prior written consent and any attempted         
recordation hereof by the Tenant shall be void and shall constitute a material  
default by Tenant hereunder.                                                    

      54.06 Entire Agreement, Successors and Assigns: This lease constitutes and
incorporates the entire agreement between the parties hereto and no earlier     
statement or prior written or verbal matter shall have any force or effect, all 
of which are superseded in their entirety by this lease. Tenant agrees, that it 
is not relying on any representations or agreements other than those contained  
in this lease. This agreement shall not be modified or cancelled except by a    
written agreement signed by both parties. The covenants, conditions and         
agreements contained in this lease shall bind and inure to the benefit of       
Landlord and Tenant and their respective heirs, distributees, executors,        
administrators, successors and except as otherwise provided in this lease, their
assigns.
