Landlord, setting forth the amount of Tenant's Gross Sales for the preceding Lease Year.
The accountant or other person shall certify that the Gross Sales have been computed in
accordance with the definition given herein, and the statement shall be sufficiently

the rent, Tenant will keep its records until the audit is completed or the
disagreement is settled.
ii) At any reasonable time, and following at least twenty -four (24)
hours notice in writing to Tenant, Landlord or Landlord's authorized
representative may audit any of Tenant's records of Gross Sales. If, when
Landlord audits the records for a Lease Year based on normal accounting
procedures, it finds that the Tenant has understated its Gross Sales for the Lease
Year by one percent (1 %) or more, Tenant shall be required to pay for the audit,
and shall promptly deliver to Landlord the difference Tenant owes it, plus interest
on such difference at the rate of eighteen percent (18 %) per annum from the first
day of the current Lease Year to the date such difference is paid. If such audit

percent (1 %) or more, Landlord shall be permitted to treat such event as a
material default hereunder. In this matter, the report of Landlord's accountant
shall be binding and conclusive.

whatsoever. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in or about the Leased Premises or

conducted on the Leased Premises without Landlord's consent.
8. Service to Patrons/No Discrimination.
a. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Aspen City Council selected Tenant from
amongst a group of entities desiring to rent the Leased Premises, in part, because of their
representations that they would operate the proposed restaurant so as to maintain during the term
of the Lease Agreement a menu that was affordable to its customers. Accordingly, Tenant hereby
agrees to operate its restaurant so that its menu is affordable. In order to maintain an affordable
menu, Tenant agrees to an initial review before opening, and an annual review thereafter of
predetermined menu items compared to equivalent menu items from a representative sample of
five (5) other restaurants operating in the City of Aspen. This review shall be performed by one
representative of the Tenant and three representatives of the City of Aspen: one from the
Wheeler, one from Capital Asset, and one from the Finance Department. The original menu and
a statement of operating hours for the restaurant shall be added as an addendum to this Lease
Agreement before occupancy of the Leased Premises. Landlord understands that incremental
inflationary menu price increases are part of the normal course of business and will consent to
menu price adjustments during the term of this Lease Agreement that reflect incremental
inflationary prices.
b. Tenant shall not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment
because of race, religion, color, creed, ancestry, sex, age, sexual orientation or national origin.
Tenant and Tenant's employees shall not discriminate against any person because of such
person's race, religion, color, creed, ancestry, sex, age, sexual orientation or national origin by
refusing to furnish such person any service or privilege offered to or enjoyed by the general
public. Neither Tenant nor Tenant's employees shall publicize the services provided hereunder
in any manner that would directly or inferentially reflect on the acceptability of the patrons of
any person because of race, religion, color, creed, ancestry, sex, age, sexual orientation or
national origin.
9. Late Charges. The Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to
Landlord of rent or other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not
contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which shall be extremely difficult to ascertain.
Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and the late
charges. Accordingly, if any bona fide installment of rent or any other sum due from Tenant
hereunder shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord's designee on or before the twentieth
(20th) day of each calendar month that a rent payment is due, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord
Page 6 of 22
Wheeler Restaurant Space Lease
Page 7
a late charge of five percent (5 %) on such overdue amount. The parties hereby agree that such a
late charge will represent a fair and reasonable settlement of the cost that Landlord would incur
by reason of the late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of such late charges by Landlord shall in
no event constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent
Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder unless the
entire amount due, plus late charge, is accepted by Landlord. In addition, any sum for which the
Tenant shall be obligated to the Landlord, which is not received on the due date thereof, shall
bear interest at the rate of five percent (5 %) per annum from and after the due date until paid.
10. Personal and Real Property Taxes. Tenant shall be responsible to pay all real or
personal property taxes assessed against the personal property used by Tenant and located on the
Leased Premises or upon the leasehold interest of the Tenant of the Leased Premises. Likewise,
Tenant shall be responsible for any and all sales, use, withholding and other taxes assessed
against the Leased Premises for Tenant's business operation therein.
11. Fire and Casualty Insurance. The Tenant, at its own cost and expense, shall
provide and keep in full force for the benefit of the Tenant and the City and the Landlord (as
named or additional insureds) during the term hereof or any extension or renewal period,
insurance to insure the Leased Premises against fire, normal extended coverage perils,
vandalism, malicious mischief, and liability. Throughout the term of this Lease, the Tenant shall
carry and maintain in effect casualty insurance covering its trade fixtures, equipment,
furnishings, leasehold improvements and plate glass, which insurance shall protect against fire,
normal extended coverage perils, vandalism, malicious mischief, and sprinkler malfunction.
Such insurance shall provide coverage to the extent of at least one hundred percent (100 %) of the
insurable replacement cost of the insured property. Both the Landlord and the Tenant waive any
right of subrogation that their respective insurers may acquire against either of them. Both of
these waivers shall automatically terminate at such time as either party's insurer requires that an
additional premium be paid as a consequence of this waiver provision.
12. Liability Insurance. The Tenant, at its own cost and expense, shall provide and
keep in full force for the benefit of the Tenant and the Landlord (as named or additional
insureds) during the term hereof or any extension or renewal period, general public liability
insurance for claims of liability arising out of, occasioned by or resulting from an accident or
otherwise in or about the Leased Premises, for Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00)
each occurrence with a One Million Dollar ($1,000,000.00) general aggregate combined single
limit covering bodily injury, property damage, and personal injury. In addition, if Tenant serves,
manufactures, or distributes alcoholic beverages on the Leased Premises, Tenant shall carry
liability insurance for such activity with limits in the same amounts as stated above. The policy
or policies of insurance (or binders of insurance therefore) shall be issued by a reputable
company or companies authorized to do business in this State and shall name Landlord as an
additional insured. Tenant shall provide evidence of such insurance coverage to Landlord prior
to the commencement of the term hereof. The Tenant also agrees to and shall save, hold and
keep harmless and indemnify the Landlord from and against any and all payments, expenses,
costs, attorneys' fees and/or damage to property or injuries to persons occasioned wholly or in
part by or resulting from any acts or omissions by the Tenant or any subtenants, assignees or
successors in excess of those amounts covered by insurance. If for any reason as a result of
Page 7 of 22
Wheeler Restaurant Space Lease
Page 8
Tenant's activities, use, or business, it shall be impossible to obtain fire and other hazard
insurance on the buildings and improvements on the Leased Premises, in an amount and with
insurance companies acceptable to the Landlord, the Landlord may terminate this Lease and the
term hereof, upon giving to Tenant twenty (20) days notice in writing of the Landlord's intention
to do so and upon the expiration of the time provided in said notice, this Lease and the term
hereof shall terminate. If by reason of the use of the Leased Premises by the Tenant or by
character or manner in which the Tenant's business is carried on, Landlord's insurance rates for
fire and other hazards shall be increased, the Tenant shall pay, as additional rent, the amounts by
which the premiums for such insurance are increased. The Tenant and Landlord waive all rights
of recovery against the other party and it's agents, employees or other representatives, for any
loss, damages or injury of any nature whatsoever to property or persons for which the said party
is insured. Each party shall give the other party prompt notice of any claim coming to the
knowledge of any party that in any way directly or indirectly affects either party, and both parties
shall have the right to participate in the defense of such claim to the extent of its interest.
13. Notice of Cancellation of Insurance Coverage. The above insurance policies shall
contain clauses substantially similar to the following:
a. Notwithstanding any other provision in this policy, the insurance
afforded hereunder to the Landlord shall be primary as to any other insurance or
reinsurance covering the Landlord and such other insurance or reinsurance shall
not be required to contribute to any liability until the appropriate limit of liability
afforded hereunder is exhausted.
b. This policy may not be canceled or changed until forty -five (45) days
after receipt by Landlord of a written notice of such cancellation or change in
coverage, as endorsed by receipt of a certified letter, unless such cancellation is a
result of nonpayment of premium due, in which case, this policy may not be
canceled until ten (10) days after receipt by Landlord of a written notice of such
cancellation, as endorsed by receipt of a certified letter.
14. Utilities. Tenant shall be responsible for any and all utility charges that are
separately metered or contracted for by Tenant. Improvements by Landlord shall provide for all
utilities to be separately metered.
15. Alterations. Landlord shall deliver the Leased Premises to Tenant on or before
the commencement date of this Lease Agreement. No alterations, additions, or improvements
shall be made, and no fixtures shall be installed in or attached to the Leased Premises that are not
pre- approved in writing by Landlord. Unless otherwise provided herein, all such alterations,
additions or improvements when made, installed in or attached to the said Leased Premises, shall
belong to and become the property of the Landlord and shall be surrendered with the Leased
Premises as part thereof upon the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, without
hindrance, molestation, or injury. Exceptions shall be as follows: Kitchen equipment except
hood, bar and bar fixtures, walkin and reach -in coolers, furnishings, light fixtures, TV's and AV
equipment, and artwork. Notwithstanding that they may have become an integral part of the
Page 8 of 22
Wheeler Restaurant Space Lease
Page 9
Leased Premises, Landlord may require Tenant to remove all or any part of such alterations,
additions, improvements or fixtures at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease,
restoring the Leased Premises to the same condition existing at the beginning of the original
term, ordinary wear and tear excepted. If Landlord does so require, Tenant shall repair all
damages resulting from such removal and should Tenant fail to repair damages resulting from
such removal, Landlord may remove the same or make such repairs for Tenant's account, and
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, an amount equal to Landlord's costs incurred in such
removal or repair. All work with respect to any permitted alterations, additions, or
improvements shall be done at Tenant's sole expense in a good and workmanlike manner, strictly
in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by Landlord. In doing said work, other
Tenants of Landlord (if any) shall not be adversely affected nor unreasonably inconvenienced.
Tenant shall, at its own expense, obtain all necessary building or other permits or approvals
required by appropriate governmental authorities prior to beginning such work. If any
mechanics' or other liens shall be created or filed against the Leased Premises by reason of labor •
performed or materials furnished for the Tenant in the alteration, addition or repair to any
building or improvement, the Tenant shall at the Tenant's own cost and expense, cause such lien
or liens to be satisfied and discharged of record together with any Notices of Intention that may
have been filed, or Tenant may provide a bond for 150% of the lien. Failure to do so shall entitle
Landlord to resort to such remedies as are provided herein in the case of any default of this
Lease, in addition to such as are permitted by law. Any goods, inventory or other personal
property of Tenant not affixed to the Leased Premises and not removed by Tenant upon the
termination of this Lease, or upon any quitting, vacating or abandonment of the Leased Premises
by the Tenant, or upon the Tenant's eviction, shall be considered abandoned and Landlord shall
have the right, without any notice to the Tenant, to sell or otherwise dispose of the same, at the
expense of the Tenant, and shall not be accountable to the Tenant for any part of the proceeds of
such sale, if any.
16. Repairs. Tenant shall take good care of the Leased Premises and shall, at the
Tenant's own cost and expense, make all repairs, including painting and decorating, and shall
maintain the Leased Premises in good condition and state of repair, and at the end or other
expiration of the term hereof, shall deliver up the Leased Premises in good order and condition,
wear and tear from reasonable use thereof, and damage by the elements not resulting from the
neglect or fault of the Tenant, excepted. The Tenant shall neither encumber nor obstruct the
sidewalks, driveways, yards, entrances, hallways and stairs, but shall keep and maintain the same
in a clean condition, free from debris, trash, refuse. In case of destruction of, or any damage to
the glass in the Leased Premises, or the destruction of, or damage of any kind whatsoever to the
Leased Premises, caused by the carelessness, negligence or improper conduct on the part of the
Tenant or the Tenant's agents, employees, guests, licenses, invitees, subtenants, assignees or
successors, the Tenant shall repair the said damage or replace or restore any destroyed parts of
the Leased Premises, as speedily as possible, at the Tenant's own cost and expense.
17. Maintenance and Repairs. Tenant shall during the term of this Lease keep in
condition and repair equal to that which existed at the commencement of this lease the Leased
Premises and every part thereof, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all
plumbing fixtures, within the Leased Premises, refrigeration, electrical fixtures and lighting
fixtures, additional fixtures, interior walls, wall coverings and paint, ceilings, floors and floor

Wheeler Restaurant Space Lease
Page 10
coverings, windows, doors, plate glass, awnings, and entrances. Landlord shall have
responsibility for the repair and maintenance of the building structure, roof, foundation and
structural integrity of any additional stories above the Leased Premises, and shall, at its expense
provide major repairs and required replacement to mechanical systems situated within the Leased
Premises that were originally provided by the Landlord. Major repairs and replacements to
systems and structure that comprised the original Leased Premises that the Landlord provided
initially when construction was completed on the new facility, (other additions that need repair
which were completed by lease holder will be undertaken by the lease holder at the lease holders
sole cost and expense) and are required to provide the level of service and serviceability thereof
and there from currently existing will be considered by the Landlord, if all standard and proper
maintenance has been performed by the Tenant. At times the Landlord may agree (at its sole
discretion) to cover the costs of the repairs or replacement. Absent such agreement, Landlord
shall have no obligation to execute such repair or replacement, but in the event Landlord
determines to effectuate such repair or replacement, Landlord shall have the sole discretion to
determine the type, extent and quality of repair or replacement that shall be undertaken.
18. Damage to Premises. If the Leased Premises shall be so damaged by fire or other
catastrophe (which is not caused by the fault or negligence of the Tenant or imputable to the
Tenant) as to render said Leased Premises untenantable, the Tenant thereupon shall surrender the
Leased Premises to the Landlord and the Lease shall be terminated as of the date of the
surrender. The Tenant shall pay rent, duly apportioned, up to that time Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in lieu of any termination of the Lease, Landlord may elect, at its sole option, within
thirty (30) days after the event of such damage, to continue the Lease without regard of such
damage, whereupon Landlord shall at its expense make the Leased Premises fit for occupancy
and the rent shall be abated only for the period during which the Tenant shall be deprived of the
use of said Leased Premises by reason of such damage and the repair thereof. If said Leased
Premises, without the fault of the Tenant, shall be slightly damaged by fire or other catastrophe
but not so as to render the same untenantable for any substantial period of time, the Landlord,
after receiving notice in writing of the occurrence of the injury, shall cause the same to be
repaired with reasonable promptness; and in such event, rent shall be proportionately abated,
according to the loss of use, until the Leased Premises are substantially restored.

otherwise hypothecate or transfer all or any part of Tenant's leasehold estate hereunder, or permit

Tenant is a corporation or LLC, these provisions shall apply to any transfer, sale or other
disposition, whether voluntary or involuntary, of more than 50% of the shares or membership
interest in the corporation or LLC of Tenant or to any merger, consolidation or dissolution or any
other transaction, the effect of which would be in any way to avoid or circumvent such
prohibitions. Any assignment or subletting contrary to the provisions of this Paragraph shall be
void and shall, at the option of the Landlord, constitute a default under the terms of this Lease.
20. Signs. The Tenant shall not place nor allow to be placed any signs of any kind
whatsoever, upon, in or about the said Leased Premises or any part thereof that are visible from
the exterior of the Wheeler Opera House building, except of a design and structure and in or at

Page 11
such places as may be indicated and consented to by the Landlord in writing. In case the
Landlord or the Landlord's agents, employees or representatives shall deem it necessary to
remove any such signs in order to paint or make any repairs, alterations or improvements in or
upon the Leased Premises, they shall be replaced at the Landlord's expense when the said repairs,
alterations or improvements shall have been completed. Any signs permitted by the Landlord

Leased Premises, remove all the Tenant's personal property there from and deliver up peaceable
possession thereof to the Landlord or to such other party designated by the Landlord in the

24. Landlord's Lien. Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a security interest, after the
first° st) lien to Tenant's lender, in any and all of Tenant's furniture, fixtures, equipment and

obligations hereunder. Tenant agrees to execute and deliver to Landlord, upon request, such
additional documents as Landlord may require to establish and perfect such security interest

be executed and delivered by Tenant to Landlord. The exercise by Landlord of any rights in and
to such furniture, fixtures, equipment and inventory upon default hereunder shall be governed by

such exercise shall not preclude Landlord from exercising any or all other rights and remedies
hereunder or as provided by law.

agents, employees or other representatives, shall have the right to enter into and upon the Leased
Premises or any part thereof, at all reasonable hours and upon reasonable notice, for the purpose

safety and preservation thereof. Nothing in this section is intended to restrict access to the
premises by an authorized City of Aspen inspector conducted pursuant to law, including, but not
limited to Environmental Health employees conducting routine health inspections. This clause
shall not be deemed to be a covenant by the Landlord nor be construed to create an obligation on
the part of the Landlord to make such inspection or repairs. Tenant expressly waives and
releases any claim, demand, or cause of action it might have against the Landlord by reason of
any inconvenience, annoyance to Tenant, its guests, licensees or invitees arising from any
maintenance, alteration or repair to any portion of the Leased Premises, the building in which it
is located or the property upon which it is situate. Tenant grants to Landlord the right to
temporarily discontinue utilities or any of them at any such time or times as may be necessary by
reason of any such maintenance work, alteration or repair provided Landlord gives reasonable
notice of such work. The Landlord agrees to make reasonable effort to schedule such work to
minimize disruption to Tenant's operation.
26. Default. If there should occur any default on the part of the Tenant in the
performance of any conditions or covenants herein contained or if, during the term hereof, the
Leased Premises or any part thereof shall be or become abandoned or deserted, vacated or
vacant, or should the Tenant be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise, the Landlord, in
addition to any other remedies herein contained or as may be permitted by law, may either by
force or otherwise, without being liable for prosecution therefore or for damages, re -enter the
said Leased Premises and again possess the same with or without terminating this Lease; and as
Page 12 of 22
Wheeler Restaurant Space Lease
Page 13
agent for the Tenant or otherwise, re -let the Leased Premises and receive the rents therefore and
apply the same, first to the payment of such expenses and costs, as the Landlord may have been
put in re- entering and repossessing the same and in making such repairs and alterations, as may
be necessary; and second to the payment of the rents due hereunder. Whether or not the
Landlord shall terminate this Lease, the Tenant shall remain liable for such rents as may be in
arrears and also the rents as may accrue subsequent to the re -entry by the Landlord, to the extent
of the difference between the rents reserved hereunder and the rents, if any, received by the
Landlord during the remainder of the unexpired term hereof, after deducting the aforementioned
expenses, fees, and costs; the same to be paid as such deficiencies arise and are ascertained each
month. In addition, upon any such default, or if Tenant be adjudicated a bankrupt, insolvent or
placed in receivership, or should proceedings be instituted by or against the Tenant for
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, agreement of composition or assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or if this Lease or the estate of the Tenant hereunder shall be transferred by virtue of
any court proceedings, writ of execution or levy sale, the Landlord may, if the Landlord so
elects, at any time thereafter, terminate this Lease, upon written notice to Tenant or to any
trustee, receiver, or other person in charge of or acting as custodian of the assets or property of
the Tenant. In the event of default, except in the payment of rent or additional rent hereunder,
Landlord, prior to the exercise of any of its rights or remedies hereunder, shall give Tenant notice
of such default together with a ten (10) day right to cure should such default be in the payment of
any other sums due Landlord hereunder or a twenty (20) day right to cure should such default be
in any of the other conditions or covenants of this Lease to be performed by Tenant, unless the
same by its or their nature require immediate or earlier attention. Upon the giving of such notice,
this Lease and the term hereof shall, unless the default shall be cured during the applicable
period, end on the date fixed in such notice as if the said date were originally fixed in this Lease
for the expiration hereof; and the Landlord shall have the right to remove all persons, goods,
fixtures and chattels therefrom, by force or otherwise, without liability for damages. No right of
redemption shall be exercised under any present or future law of the State of Colorado in case
the Tenant shall be dispossessed for any cause or if the Landlord shall, in any other manner,
obtain possession of the Leased Premises in consequence of the violation of any of the covenants
and agreements of the Tenant, except for those rights of redemption on which landlord holds a
security interest pursuant to Article 9 of the Colorado Uniform Commercial Code. The Landlord
shall have a lien paramount to all others, after first lien of the Tenant's Lender on every right and
interest of the Tenant in and to this Lease, and on any furnishings, equipment, fixtures, or other
personal property of any kind belonging to the Tenant, or the equity of the Tenant therein, on the
leased property. Such lien is granted for the purpose of securing the payment of rents, taxes,
assessments, insurance charges, liens, penalties and damages herein covenanted to be paid by the
Tenant and for the purpose of securing the performance of all of the Tenant's obligations under
this Lease. Such lien shall be in addition to all rights of the Landlord given under statutes of this
State, which are now or shall hereinafter be in effect.
27. Attorneys' Fees. In the event of any litigation or other action or proceeding
between the parties hereto arising out of the performance or non - performance of this Lease, or

any judgment, award or other relief, its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred.

28. Delays. Parties agree that time is of the essence. Whenever a period of time is
provided in this Lease for either Landlord or Tenant to do or perform any act or thing, neither
Landlord nor Tenant shall be liable or responsible for performing any obligation hereunder as a
result of any unavoidable delay due to strikes, lockouts, casualties, acts of God, or other
governmental regulations or control or other causes beyond such party's reasonable control, and
the time for performance specified herein shall be extended for a period of time corresponding to
such delay.
29. Mortgage Priority. This Lease shall not be a lien against the Leased Premises
with respect to any mortgages or trust deeds now or hereafter placed upon the Leased Premises
or the building. The recording of such mortgage or mortgages shall have preference and
precedence and be superior and prior in lien to this Lease, irrespective of the date of recording
and the Tenant agrees to execute any instruments, without costs, which may be deemed
necessary or desirable, to further effect the subordination of this Lease to any such mortgage or
mortgages. Tenant shall, upon request, execute any estoppel certificates or attornment
agreements that may be required by the holder of any mortgage or trust deed now or hereafter
placed upon the Leased Premises or the building or by the Owner of the building in which the
Leased Premises are located. A refusal by the Tenant to execute any such instruments shall
entitle the Landlord to at once terminate this Lease. Tenant agrees not to record or file this Lease
in the real estate records affecting the building in which the Leased Premises is located. Any
such recording in violation hereof shall be considered a slander of Landlord's title and a breach
of this entire Lease. This covenant shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
Lease.
30. Cumulative Remedies. The various rights, remedies, options and elections of the
Landlord expressed herein are cumulative and the failure of the Landlord to enforce strict
performance by the Tenant of the conditions and covenants of this Lease or to exercise any
election or option or to resort or have recourse to any remedy herein conferred or the acceptance
by the Landlord of any installment of rent after any breach by the Tenant, in any one or more
instances, shall not be construed or deemed to be a waiver or a relinquishment for the future by
the Landlord of any such conditions and covenants, options, elections or remedies, but the same
shall continue in full force and effect.
31. Cleanliness; Waste and Nuisance.
a. Tenant shall keep the Leased Premises at all times in a neat, clean and sanitary
condition, shall neither commit nor permit any waste or nuisance thereon. Tenant shall store all

traffic and other prospective clients.
32. Brokers. Each party represents to the other that it has had no dealings with any
real estate broker or agent in connection with the negotiation of this Lease.
33. Waiver. No waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any provision of this Lease shall be
effective unless in writing nor shall such waiver be deemed a waiver of any other provision
hereof, nor of any subsequent breach by Tenant of the same or of any other provision.

Premises by Tenant, as well as at the termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Leased

provision of this Lease in which the time of performance is a factor.

one year of the term of the lease, and expressly agrees that the validity of' this agreement and the
obligations of the guarantors hereunder shall in no wise be terminated, affected or impaired by

limitation, the rejection of the Lease in connection with proceedings under the bankruptcy laws

a) "Price Index" shall mean the Consumer Price Index - All Urban
Consumers (CPI -U) - U.S. City Average - All Items, or a successor or substitute index published
or authorized by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.
b) The following formula shall be used for determining the adjustment, if
any, in the fixed minimum annual rent:
"Price Index" for the next fiscal
Current Index Number = year (Jan. 1)
Base Index Number "Price Index preceding fiscal year (Jan. 1)
c) As promptly as practicable after the commencement of the first adjustment
year, and thereafter as promptly as practicable after the first day of each succeeding adjustment
year, Landlord shall compute the increase, if any, in the cost of living for the year immediately
preceding said adjustment year. Such computation shall be made by use of current and base
index numbers provided for each adjustment year as set forth in Paragraph b) above.
d) In computing increases for each adjustment year the current index number
shall be divided by the base index number. From the quotient thereof, there shall be subtracted
the integer 1 and any resulting positive number shall be deemed to be the percentage of increase
of cost of living.
e) The percentage of increase in the cost of living shall be multiplied by the
minimum annual rental including increases for the year preceding the adjustment year for which
the increase is being computed.
0 The Landlord shall, within a reasonable time after obtaining the
appropriate data necessary for computing such increases, give the Tenant notice of any increase
so determined, and the Landlord's computation thereof shall be conclusive and binding but shall
not preclude any adjustment of the index figures upon which the computation was based and
Tenant shall, within sixty (60) days after receiving such notice, notify Landlord of any claimed
error therein; provided, however, nothing herein shall be construed to extend the time when
rents, as determined by Landlord, are due and payable by Tenant.
g) Minimum annual rent for each adjustment year, together with increases
calculated in accordance with Paragraphs b) through f) of this Section, shall be due and payable
to Landlord in equal monthly installments due on the first day of each calendar month of each
adjustment year (retroactive payments then due being payable within thirty (30) days after giving
notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant).
