apply to calendar year 1984 only. Lessor reserves the right to
review the monthly rent in December of each year and reserves the
right to adjust the rent upon notice to Lessee. Lessor and
Lessee shall work together to determine fair and adequate rent
return based on performance review. Rent adjustments will be
amendments to this lease. In no case will the annual adjustment
in rental compensation due the Lessor be less than the annual
change in the Chicago Area Consumer Price Index for the annual

returns. The percentage change will be determined annually as of

succeeding calendar year, if such percentage change is
applicable. Should gross reported sales be less than the change

Price Index.
