These leases are all for terms of 20 years. The lease with Edco is dated November 1, 1978. The lease with Alondra, although undated, also appears to have commenced on November 1, 1978. The lease with Pertinax is dated November 1, 1979. These leases state as initial rental figures $1,000 per month for Alondra, $500 per month for Edco, and $500 per month for Pertinax. Each lease provides for periodic rent adjustments in accordance with the Consumer Price Index, and Mr. Clearman would follow the same procedure in adjusting the rental rate from time to time as he did for the Lilac Avenue property. The rent for the El Centro property would be allocated among UCIC, Alondra, Edco, and Pertinax in accordance with the amount of space each of them used. Mr. Clearman would review and adjust the rent allocations on an annual basis.
