condition or covenant provided is this Lease, including any
addendum hereto, the Tenant shall have the option to renew this
Lease for one (1) additional twenty (20) year term (the "Option
Term") by providing the Landlord with written notice of the
Tenant's decision to exercise its option not less than one hundred

annual rent during the initial and the Option Term- shall be
adjusted on the Rental Adjustment Date, as described herein.
4. Rent. Tenant covenants and agrees to pay Landlord the
Minimum Annual Rent of Six Thousand One Hundred Fifty Five Dollars
• ($2,500.00) per acre, payable in twelve (12) monthly installments
("Rental Payments"). The Minimum Annual Rent shall commence to
accrue and be due and payable on the Commencement Date. The first
Rental Payment date shall be the first day of the first full
calendar month and shall include a prorated amount applicable to
the period from the rental commencement date to the rental payment

In view of the fluctuating purchasing power of the United
States dollar, the parties hereto, desiring to adjust the rent
hereunder to such purchasing power, agree that such adjustments
shall be made on the Rental Adjustment Dates as herein provided so
• 3
.~
as to reflect as nearly as possible such fluctuations. The parties
hereto adopt as the standard for measuring such fluctuations the
United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics,
revised Index of Consumer Prices. The index for the month prior to
the commencement date shall be the basic standard. The first
adjustment shall be made on August 1, 2001 and shall be effective
for five (5) years. Thereafter, adjustments will be made annually
and' will be effective for the then ensuing lease year. Rent
adjustments shall be made by multiplying the Minimum Annual Rent
by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the next Index
figure (such figure being the Index figure for the month'
immediately preceding each Rental Adjustment Date) and the
denominator of which shall be the Basic Standard; and the result
• thus obtained shall be the then applicable annual rent to be paid
in monthly installments over the ensuing lease year period. In no
event shall the Minimum Annual Rent (as adjusted by the foregoing
formula) for a lease year ever be less than the Minimum Annual
Rent for the prior lease year. It is understood that the above
Index is now being published monthly by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the United States Department of Labor. Should said
Bureau of Labor Statistics change the manner of computing such
Index, the Bureau shall be requested to furnish a conversion
factor designated to adjust the new Index to the one previously in
use and made on the basis of such conversion factor. Should
• 4
• publication of said Index be discontinued by said Bureau of Labor
and Statistics, the such other Index as may be published by such
Bureau most nearly approaching said discontinued Index shall be
used in making the adjustments herein provided for. Should said
Bureau discontinue the publication of any Index herein
contemplated, then such Index as may be published by another
United States Governmental Agency as-most nearly approximates the
Index herein first above referred to shall govern and be submitted
as the Index. to be used, subject to the application of an
appropriate conversion factor to be furnished by the government
agent publishing the adopted Index. If such governmental agency
will not furnish such conversion factor, then the parties shall
agree upon a conversion factor or a new Index; and, in the event
• agreement cannot be reached as to such conversion factor or such
new Index, the parties hereto agree to submit the matter to
arbitrators, in accordance with the rules of the American
Arbitration Association and judgment or decree upon the award
rendered by the arbitrators may be rendered in any court having
jurisdiction thereof. In no event, however, shall the Minimum
Annual Rent decrease below the sum of Twenty Five Hundred Dollars
($2,500.00) per acre.
In the event that any Rental Payment due hereunder shall not
be paid five (5) days or more when due, in addition to, and not
in substitution for, any other rights Landlord may have, Tenant
shall pay Landlord a late payment fee of 5~ of the amount of such
. 5

• Sub-paragraph (1) above, the Landlord may, in like manner, declare

a period of years as may be fixed in the Landlord's said notice to
