RENTAL ADJUSTMENT Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the Leased Premises were conveyed by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to that certain Agreement of Sale and Purchase dated November 17, 2005 (the “Leased Premises Purchase Agreement”), and, as a condition to closing thereunder, leased back to Tenant pursuant to this Lease. Concurrently with the Leased Premises Purchase Agreement, EPT Crotched Mountain and SNH entered into that certain Agreement of Sale and Purchase (the “Crotched Mountain Agreement”), pursuant to which EPT Crotched Mountain agreed, among other things, as follows: (i) SNH would use its best efforts to obtain various consents from third parties for an assignment of the ground lease therein described from SNH to EPT Crotched Mountain (the “Required Consents”) and (ii) if SNH failed to obtain the Required Consents within 90 days from the closing of the Mad River Mountain Agreement then (a) EPT Crotched Mountain would make a loan to SNH in the amount of the purchase price as set forth in the Crotched Mountain Agreement and (b) the rent payable by Tenant under this Lease would automatically be increased retroactively as hereinafter set forth and described. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that in the event the Required Consents are not obtained as set forth above, then effective retroactively as of the Commencement Date, “Annual Fixed Rent” shall be equal to the following: (i) From the Commencement Date to the end of the 1st Lease Year, an amount, per annum, equal to $1,017,500.00. (ii) During each subsequent Lease Year the Annual Fixed Rent shall increase by an amount equal to the lesser of (a) 1.5% multiplied by the Annual Fixed Rent for the previous Lease Year or (b) the percentage increase in the CPI between the CPI in effect during the first month of the Lease Year immediately preceding the then applicable Lease Year and the first month of the then applicable Lease Year. In the event the Required Consents are not obtained prior to the closing of the Crotched Mountain Agreement, then the Annual Fixed Rent, as adjusted by this Section, shall apply retroactively as of the Commencement Date, and shall be effective without further action on the part of either Landlord or Tenant. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the Required Consents are not obtained prior to the closing of the Crotched Mountain Agreement, then, at the closing of the Crotched Mountain Agreement, and upon Landlord’s request, then Tenant shall, at the closing of the Leased Premises Purchase Agreement, execute and deliver to Landlord a written certificate in form satisfactory to Landlord specifying that the Annual Fixed Rent has been adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Section. Upon the rental adjustment as herein provided, Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord an amount equal to the difference between all Annual Fixed Rent paid up until the Rental Adjustment Date and the amount of fixed rent payable from the Commencement Date to the Rental Adjustment Date, as adjusted by this Section.
Base Rent Adjustment The Base Rent payable hereunder shall be adjusted upward from time to time in accordance with the following provisions: (a) Tenant shall pay to Landlord as an adjustment to Rent, an amount equal to the excess (the “Excess”) from time to time of total annual Operating Expenses per square foot of Rentable Area of the Premises, as Grossed-Up, over and above the Expense Stop. The Excess shall be obtained by multiplying (i) the difference between the annual Operating Expense per square foot of Rentable Area in the Premises and the Expense Stop, by (ii) the total Rentable Area of the Premises as set forth in Section 1.15. Such amount shall be paid in advance in monthly installments on the same dates as Base Rent is due and payable hereunder based on Landlord’s notice delivered to Tenant from time to time setting forth Landlord’s good faith estimate of the Operating Expenses for the current calendar year. Landlord shall have the right to adjust such amount no more than once a year to reflect any changes in Landlord’s estimate of Operating Expenses. (b) By April 1 of each calendar year during the Lease Term, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement (“Actual Statement”) of Landlord’s annual Operating Expenses, as Grossed-Up, for the previous calendar year. If for any calendar year the amounts collected from Tenant for the prior year, as a result of Landlord’s estimate of Operating Expenses, exceeds the amount of the Excess actually due during such prior year, then Landlord shall refund to Tenant any overpayment (or at Landlord’s option, apply such amount against Rent due or to become due hereunder). Likewise, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, any underpayment with respect to the prior year. (c) In the event of any good faith dispute as to the amount of the Excess as set forth in the statement of actual Operating Expenses, Tenant shall have the right, no more frequently than once per calendar year, after reasonable notice to Landlord and at reasonable times, to inspect and photocopy Landlord’s Operating Expenses records at Landlord’s offices. If, after such inspection and photocopy, Tenant continues, in good faith, to dispute the amount of the Excess as set forth in said statement, Tenant shall be entitled not later than one (1) year following Tenant’s receipt of an Actual Statement to retain a national, independent, certified public accountant who is not contracted on a contingency fee basis and is mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant to audit Landlord’s Operating Expenses records with respect to the calendar year covered by Actual Statement to determine the proper amount of the Excess. Landlord shall be entitled to review the results of such audit promptly after completion of same. If such audit proves that Landlord has overcharged Tenant, then within fifteen (15) days after the results of the audit are made available to Landlord, Landlord shall credit Tenant the amount of such overcharge toward the payments of Base Rent and Additional Rent next coming due under this Lease. If the results of such audit prove that Landlord has undercharged Tenant, then within fifteen (15) days after the results of the audit are made available to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of any such undercharge. Tenant agrees to pay the cost of such audit, provided that Landlord shall reimburse Tenant the amount of such cost if the results of such audit prove that Landlord’s determination of the Excess (as set forth in the Actual Statement) was in error by more than six percent (6%). If Tenant does not request an audit in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c) within one (1) year after Tenant’s receipt of an Actual Statement, such Actual Statement shall be conclusively binding upon Tenant. Landlord shall be required to maintain records of all Operating Expenses for three (3) years following the issuance of the Operating Expense statement for such Operating Expenses. The payment by Tenant of any amounts pursuant to this Article shall not preclude Tenant from questioning the correctness of any such statement.
Capital Adjustments (a) The existence of the Option shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Corporation or its stockholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations, reorganizations, or other changes in the Corporation's capital structure or the Corporation’s business, or any merger or consolidation of the Corporation or any issue of bonds, debentures, preferred stock having a preference to or affecting the Corporation’s capital stock or the rights thereof, or the issuance of any securities convertible into any such capital stock or of any rights, options, or warrants to purchase any such capital stock, or the dissolution or liquidation of the Corporation, any sale or transfer of all or any part of the Corporation’s assets or business, or any other act or proceeding of the Corporation, whether of a similar character or otherwise. (b) The securities with respect to which the Option is granted are shares of the $.001 par value common stock of the Corporation as presently constituted, but if and whenever, prior to the delivery by the Corporation of all the shares of the $.001 par value common stock with respect to which the Option is granted, the Corporation shall effect a subdivision or consolidation of shares or other capital readjustment, the payment of a stock dividend, or other increase or reduction of the number of shares of such common stock issued and outstanding without receiving compensation therefore in money, services, or property, the number of shares of such common stock then remaining subject to the Option shall (a) in the event of an increase in the number of outstanding shares of such common stock, be proportionately increased, and the cash consideration payable per share of such common stock shall be proportionately reduced; and (b) in the event of a reduction in the number of outstanding shares of such common stock, be proportionately reduced, and the cash consideration payable per share of such common stock shall be proportionately increased.
Base Rent Adjustments Base Rent shall be increased on each annual anniversary of the first day of the first full month during the Term of this Lease (each an “Adjustment Date”) by multiplying the Base Rent payable immediately before such Adjustment Date by the Rent Adjustment Percentage and adding the resulting amount to the Base Rent payable immediately before such Adjustment Date. Base Rent, as so adjusted, shall thereafter be due as provided herein. Base Rent adjustments for any fractional calendar month shall be prorated.
