of square feet comprising all easements established in accordance with Article 1I (D).
B. T.F,,R~qOR IMPROVF, M~.NTS RFNTALq. NONE:
improvements on the Leased Premises.
There are no Lessor
C. PAY1VER~NT: PF, NAI,T¥: ADII I,qTMI~NTS. All payments due Lessor fxom Lessee
shall be made to Lessor at the offices of the Finance Department of the City of Denton,
Customer Service Division, 601 West Hickory, Denton, Texas, unless otherwise designated
in writing by the Lessor. If payments are not received on or before the 15th day of the
month, 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 one percent (1%) of the unpaid
rental/fee amount will be due. A one percent (1%) charge will be added on the first of each
subsequent month until the unpaid rental/fee payment is made. The Original Rent for the
Leased Premises shall be readjusted at the end of each one year period during the Lease
Term 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 previous odd month 2004 index, which was 17,5.7 (1982-84 = 100). Each
rental adjustment, if any, shall occur on the 1st day of May, beginning 2006, and every other
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 shall 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) for the index numbers for the CPI-U
applicable to the Dallas-Fort Worth geographical region. If both the CPI-U for the Dallas-
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 shall 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
AIRPORTLF~SEAGREEMENTJVCLLC - Page 5
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 shall be
made using the most nearly comparable statistics published by a recognized financial
authority selected by Lessor.
