The Base Rent
set forth in Schedule B is subject to increases as a result of
increases in the cost of living during the term. On each
anniversary of the Commencement Date (each an “Adjustment
Date”), Base Rent shall be adjusted to reflect the increase,
if any, in the cost of living over the preceding anniversary year.
Base Rent due as a result of an increase in the cost of living
shall be calculated in accordance with the terms set forth below.
The basis for computing the cost of living shall be the unadjusted
Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers. All items (1982-84 =
100) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United
States Department of Labor (the “Index”). The index for
the month immediately preceding the Commencement Date shall be the
“Base Index Number”. The index for the month
immediately preceding the Adjustment Date shall be the
“Current Index Number”. The Base Rent for the
anniversary year commencing on such Adjustment Date shall be the
product obtained from multiplying the Initial Base Rent
(annualized) by the fraction whose numerator is equal to the
Current Index Number and whose denominator is equal to the Base
Index Number, provided that in no event will Base Rent for such
anniversary year be less than the greater of the amount set forth
in Schedule B or Base rent for the anniversary year immediately
preceding the Adjustment Date. If the Index is not in existence at
the time the determination is to be made, the parties shall use
such equivalent price index as is published by a successor
government agency in lieu of the Index, or, if no such price index
is published, then the parties shall use a mutually acceptable
equivalent price index as is published by a non-governmental
agency.

forth in Article II herein, Tenant shall pay Landlord “
