the lesser of the maximum amount allowed by law and a five percent (5%) penalty, will be
due as of the 16th. If payments are not received by the first of the subsequent month, an
additional penalty of the lesser of the r��imum amount allowed by law and one percent
(1%) of the unpaid rental/fee amount will be due. The lesser of the maximum amount

Page 7
by law, if any
The Original Rent for the Leased Premises shall be readjusted at the end of each
two (2) year period during the Lease Term, starting on the 2nd day of October 2016 and
every two (2) years thereafter, on the basis of the proportion that the then current United
States Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers (CPI-U) for the Dallas-Fort Worth
Bureau of Labor Statistics bears to the May 2012 index, which was 207.828 (1982-84 =
100). Each rental adjustment, if any, shall occur on the 7th day of Au ust , beginning
2014, and every second year thereafter on such date.
The adjustments in the yearly rent shall be determined by multiplying the Original
Rent by a fraction, the numerator of which is the index number for the last month prior to
the adjustment, and the denominator of which is the index number applicable at the
execution of this Lease Agreement. If the product of this multiplication is greater than
the Original Rent, Lessee shall pay this greater amount as the yearly rent until the time of
the next rental adjustment as called for in this section. If the product of this multiplication
is less than the Original Rent there shall be no adjustment in the annual rent at that time,
and Lessee shall pay the previous year's annual rent until the time of the next rental
adjustment as called for in this section. In no event shall any rental adjustment called for
in this section result in an annual rent less than the previous year's annual rent. The
adjustment shall be limited so that the annual rental payment determined for any given
two-year period sha11 not exceed the annual rental payment calculated for the previous
CPI adjustment by more than twenty percent (20%) percent.
If the consumer price index for all urban consumers (CPI-U) for the Dallas-Fort
Worth geographical region, as compiled by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics, is discontinued during the Lease Term, the remaining rental adjustments called for
in this section shall be made using the formula set forth above, but by substituting the index
numbers for the Consumer Price Index-Seasonally Adjusted U.S. City Average For All
Items For All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) far the index numbers for the CPI-U applicable to
the Dallas-Fort Worth geographical region. If both the CPI-U for the Da11as-Fort Worth
geographical region and the U.S. City Average are discontinued during the Lease Term, the
remaining rental adjustments called for in this section sha11 be made using the statistics of
the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor that are most nearly
comparable to the CPI-U applicable to the Dallas-Fort Worth geographical region. If the
Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor ceases to exist or
ceases to publish statistics concerning the purchasing power of the consumer dollar during
the Lease Term, the remaining rental adjustments called for in this section sha11 be made
using the most nearly comparable statistics published by a recognized financial authority
selected by Lessor.
