Purchase Price
Option Periods
Purchase Price
Third Lease Year (beginning 8/16/04):
$650,000.00
Fourth Lease Year (beginning 8/16/05):
$575,000.00
Fifth Lease Year (beginning 8/16/06):
$495,000.00
Thereafter, during any month
of the Lease (“Extended Option Period”):
Adjusted Purchase Price
Calculated as follows:
Adjusted Purchase Price shall be determined by calculating the product obtained by multiplying $495,000 by a fraction of the numerator of which is the Consumer Price Index Seasonally Adjusted U.S. City Average for All Items for all Urban Consumers (1982-84 = 100) published monthly in the Monthly Labor Review of the Bureau of Labor (“CPI-U”) for the third month prior to the expiration of the Fifth Lease Year, and the denominator of which is the CPI-U for the third month prior to the settlement date for the transfer of title to the City. In no event shall the Purchase Price during the Extended Option Period be less than $495,000. In the event the CPI-U is discontinued, comparable statistics on the purchasing power of the consumer dollar published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor shall be used for making the computation above. If the base year (1982-84 = 100) selected by the United States Department of Labor shall be changed, then the resultant index shall be readjusted so as to reflect the base initially established above. If the aforesaid indexes shall no longer be published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor, or cannot be readjusted in accordance therewith, then another index generally recognized as authoritative shall be substituted by the owner.
