this Lease, provided Tenant reimburses Landlord for expenses incurred in the amount of
$500.00.
5. Renewal. Tenant shall have the right to extend this Lease for three additional
five-year terms ("Renewal Term"). Each Renewal Term shall be on the same terms and
conditions as set forth herein except that rent shall be increased after each term by a percentage
equal to the percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and
