EXHIBIT C: BASE RENT
Seven (7) year, noncancelable lease, at a beginning rate of $0.90 per square
foot, plus any upward adjustment in the Federal Funds Discount Rate in effect at
the time of closing referenced to the Federal Reserve Discount Rate of one
percent (1%) in effect on the signing date of April 22, 2004 stated in the
Binding Agreement in Principle Regarding the Purchase of Outstanding Capital
Stock of Larus Corporation and Vista Corporation.
The lease is triple net and is adjusted as described following:
The portion of the monthly lease payment that is allocated by the lessor to
cover interest payments on the mortgage covering the facility (the "Interest
Component") will be subject to adjustment, upwards and/or downwards, at the
beginning of each month to reflect any changes in the financial index used by
the lessor's lender relating to the lessor's mortgage on the facility (the
"Index Rate") from the beginning of the prior monthly period. The maximum
adjustment in any given year shall be 1-1/2% with a maximum cumulative
adjustment over the term of the lease of 8%. No adjustment shall be made if such
adjustment would reduce the monthly square foot rental amount to an amount below
$0.90.
By way of example, if at the beginning of the second month, after the effective
date of the lease, the Index Rate has increased by 0.25% since the effective
date of the lease, the Interest Component portion of the lease rate would be
