RIGHT TO EXTEND TERM .
Intentionally omitted.
|
a.
Base Rent . Subject to
any specific provision of this Lease, Lessee shall pay to Lessor
annual rent during Lease Year 1 in the sum of ____________________
and __/100 Dollars ($___________) payable in monthly installments
of ______________________ and __/00 Dollars ($__________) each, all
such rental installments to be due and payable in advance on the 1
st day of each calendar month for and during the Term of
this Lease. Rental for any partial month shall be prorated on the
basis of a thirty (30) day month.
b.
Adjusted Base Rent . At
the beginning of Lease Year 2 and each successive Lease Year
thereafter, the rent shall be increased by the greater of (i) three
percent (3%) over the prior Lease Year, or (ii) an amount
determined by multiplying the rent paid during the prior rent
period by a fraction, the denominator of which shall be the
Consumer Price Index (“CPI” as defined below) for the
first month of the prior Lease Year and the numerator of which
shall be the same CPI for the first month of the current Lease
Year. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the adjusted
rent amount determined hereunder shall never be less than the rent
amount paid during the immediately preceding Lease Year. The term
“CPI” means the Consumer Price Index - U.S. City
Averages for All Urban Consumers - All Items (1982-84 = 100), of
the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics. If the Bureau of
Labor Statistics revises the manner in which such CPI is
determined, Lessor may adjust the revised index to produce results
equivalent, as nearly as possible, to those which would have been
obtained if the CPl had not been so revised. If the 1982-84 average
shall no longer be used as an index of 100, such change shall
constitute a revision. If the CPI shall become unavailable to the
public because publication is discontinued, or otherwise, Lessor
will substitute therefor, a comparable index based upon changes in
the cost of living or purchasing power of the consumer dollar
published by any other governmental agency or, if no such index
shall be available then a comparable index published by a major
bank or other financial institution.
c. The
increased rent to be paid on account of the rent adjustment shall
be paid in equal monthly installments in the same manner as
provided for Base Rent.
d. If
a rental payment becomes overdue Lessee agrees to pay, in addition
to such payment, as liquidated damages for such delay, a
“late charge” in the amount often percent (10%) of the
agreed rental payment for each month or fraction thereof that the
rental payment becomes overdue. The parties agree that such late
charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs
Lessor will incur by reason of such late payment.
e. All
rental shall be paid to Lessor or its authorized agent at the
address set out in the NOTICE paragraph below or at such other
place as may be designated by Lessor from time to time. Delivery
