The first lease year, if the Commencement Date is the first day of a calendar month, shall be the twelve (12) successive calendar months that begin on the Commencement Date. If the Commencement Date is not the first day of a calendar month, the first lease year shall be the twelve (12) successive calendar months that begin on the first day of the calendar month next succeeding the Commencement Date. Thereafter, subsequent lease years shall be the succeeding twelve (12) calendar month periods after the first lease year. 3.3 Options to Extend. Tenant shall have two (2) consecutive five (5) year options to extend the Lease term, provided that at the time of the exercise of the option, and at all times after the exercise of the option and prior to the commencement of such extension, Tenant shall not be in default under the Lease for a default which it has failed to cure within the applicable cure period. Tenant shall notify Landlord of the exercise of its options no later than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the initial term of the Lease or the expiration of the first extended term, as the case may be. Minimum Rent for the option periods shall be as set forth in Sections 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5 below. Percentage Rent during the option periods shall be computed as set forth in Section 5 below. 4.0 RENT 4.1 Minimum Rent Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without offset, notice or demand, as fixed minimum rent, the monthly sums set forth below (the "Minimum Rent"), which shall be paid in advance on or before the first day of each calendar month of each lease year during the lease term. If the lease term commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, the Minimum Rent for such month shall be a prorated portion of the monthly Minimum Rent. The Minimum Rent shall begin on ____________ (the "Rent Commencement Date"). The Minimum Rent for each of the first five (5) years commencing on the Rent Commencement Date shall be $____________ per year payable at a rate $__________ per month. 4.2 Surcharge. Tenant acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of the Minimum Rent, and any other sums required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of such costs being extremely difficult and impracticable to fix. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges, and late charges that may be imposed on Landlord by the terms of any encumbrance and note secured by any encumbrance cover the Premises. Therefore, if any installment of Minimum Rent due from Tenant is not received by Landlord by the 5th day of each and every month, or any other sum required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord or others as provided for in this Lease is not received when due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional sum of 5% of the overdue Minimum Rent as a surcharge. Failure to pay the Minimum Rent on time shall be construed to mean the failure to mail the fixed Minimum Rent to Landlord on or before the 5th day of the month with postmark affixed thereto or to deliver the Minimum Rent to the Landlord by the 5th day of the month. 4.3 Adjustments to Minimum Rent. To provide an equitable adjustment of rent to offset the effects of inflation, the Minimum Rent shall be adjusted at the end of each 5 year anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date, the adjustment to be determined by the Index (as defined below) published closest, but prior to, the first month of the first year of the Lease Term (the "Base Index") and every fifth year of the Term (the "Subsequent Index") in accordance with changes in the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers for the ____________ area on the 1982 - 84 = 100 base published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor (the "Index") using the procedures set forth in Section 4.4 below. If the Index is discontinued or revised during the Term, such other government index or computation with which it is replaced by the Bureau shall be used in order to obtain substantially the same result as would be obtained if the index had not been discontinued or raised, and if the Index is not so replaced, Landlord shall adopt a substitute index or substitute procedure which reasonably reflects changes in the purchasing power of the U.S. dollar. 4.4 Adjusted Minimum Rent. During each five (5) year period following the first five (5) year period of the Term, Tenant shall pay Landlord Minimum Rent equal to the Subsequent Index divided by the Base Index and multiplied by the Minimum Rent set forth in Section 4.1 above (the "Adjusted Minimum Rent") provided, however, that under no circumstances shall the Adjusted Minimum Rent be less than the previous year's minimum rent. In other words, the Adjusted Minimum Rent shall be computed in accordance with the following formula: Adjusted Minimum Rent = Subsequent Index multiplied by the Minimum Rent divided by the Base Index 4.5 Maximum Adjusted Minimum Rent. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 4.3 and 4.4 above, the Adjusted Minimum Rent shall not, at any time, exceed the Minimum Rent as set forth in Section 4.1 above by more than 15% for the first 5 year rental adjustment and continuing each 5 year period thereafter by adding 15% to the previous 5 year period maximum, so that in year 16 the maximum increase would be 45% and so that in year 26 the maximum increase would be 75%. The maximum annual Adjusted Rental for years 6 through 30 would be as follows: Years 6 through 10 not to exceed $____________ Years 11 through 15 not to exceed $______________ Years 16 through 20 not to exceed $___________ Option Periods Years 21 through 25 not to exceed $____________ Years 26 through 30 not to exceed $____________ 4.6 Option Period Rental. The option period rent ("Option Period Rent") shall be determined by an adjustment over the last 5 year period of the Lease Term, or preceding option period, whichever the case may be, by using the same adjustments to Minimum Rent, as set forth in Sections 4.3 and 4.4 above, but subject to the maximum limitation set forth in Section 4.5 above. 5.0 PERCENTAGE RENT 5.1 Percentage Rent. In addition to the Minimum Rent, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as additional rent for each lease year, 2% of the amount of annual gross sales in excess of $___________________. Within 60 days after the end of each lease year, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a statement of the gross sales for said lease year and the additional rent, if any, shall be payable not later than 60 days from and after the close of the lease year. Such statement shall set forth the gross sales for said lease year and the amounts deducted therefrom pursuant to Section 5.2 below. Not more than once with respect to any lease year, and then only after reasonable notice and during Tenant's office hours, Landlord shall have the right to examine or cause to be examined Tenant's records for the purpose of verifying the sales as reported by Tenant and, subject to the provisions below with respect to confidentiality, Landlord may make copies thereof, at Landlord's sole cost and expense. Tenant shall be required to preserve its records on which any statement is based for 3 years and no more. After Landlord's written request, Tenant will produce such records at Tenant's corporate headquarters, or at such other location that is mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant. If Landlord causes an analysis to be performed by an independent certified public accountant, and if such analysis reveals that Tenant has underpaid the percentage rent required hereunder by more than 3%, then the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses shall be paid by Tenant. Otherwise, the costs of such analysis shall be paid by Landlord. If Landlord fails to object in writing to any statement within 36 months after the statement was rendered, such statement shall be conclusively presumed to be correct. Landlord agrees to keep all information and records relating to Tenant's gross sales confidential, except that Landlord may disclose, to an extent and in a manner that is commercially reasonable, summaries of such information to prospective purchasers or lenders of Landlord's property, provided such prospective purchasers and lenders agree in advance in writing to keep such information confidential, except as required by law and except as otherwise allowed by a court in any litigation. 5.2 Exclusions. It is agreed by the parties hereto that the term "gross sales" as used in this Lease shall mean the total selling price of all goods, wares and merchandise sold, in, on or from the Premises determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied as between past and future periods, less the following deductions to the extent that the same have been included in "gross sales" figures: a. All credits and refunds made to customers for merchandise returned or exchanged and any adjustment resulting in a reduction of a service charge; b. All inter-store shipments or transfers of merchandise from the Premises to any of Tenant's other stores made for the convenience of Tenant's business and not for the purpose of avoiding a sale pursuant to Section 5.1; c. Amounts received in settlement of claims for loss or damage to merchandise; d. The amount of any tax payable by reason of any gross sales tax law or of any other tax law based upon gross sales, gross volumes or gross receipts, now in effect or which may be adopted or amended hereafter that are imposed by governmental authority, added to the sales price, separately stated and collected separately as a tax from customers; e. Amounts received from the sale of fixtures or other property which is not stock in trade or "bulk transfer" of inventory as that term is defined by the Uniform Commercial Code; f.
