Page 12 of 46

 
In the event that the Lessee does not attend this meeting, there will be a second notice sent by registered mail with return receipt at least ten (10) Days in advance or by Bailiff Three full days in advance.

In the event of disagreement between the Parties on the state of completion in accordance with the definition referred to above in Article 2.3, the Parties will submit to the decision of the Expert appointed by mutual agreement between the parties or by a Summary Order at the request of the most diligent party who will be responsible for this finding and which will, where applicable, prescribe the work required for completion.
 
The Expert must render its decision at the latest within one month from the date of his appointment.
 
The decision of the Expert shall be final and shall not be subject to any form of redress. It will be up to the Expert to designate the Party who shall bear the consulting costs and fees.
 
If the expert concludes the completion of the construction in accordance with the contractual definition referred to in Article 2.3 above, the Delivery will be deemed to have occurred on the date specified in the first notice of meeting by the Lessor as referred to above and all charges resulting from the intervention of the Expert shall be borne by the Lessee.

The Lessor shall ensure that the Seller takes action against the companies concerned as soon as possible when necessary or upon request of the Lessee to the extent that such disorders/defects relating to the work will be covered by this guarantee.
 
Once all reservations have been lifted, the Lessor shall notify the Lessee by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt and with this notification shall convene the Lessee with a prior notice of fifteen (15) calendar days to a visit in order to certify the removal of the said reservations.

6.5
Indexation
 
 
(a)
Index
 
The Parties agree to index the rent according to the change in the National Cost of Construction Index published quarterly by INSEE, the two parties acknowledging that this index is directly related to this Contract, without prejudice to the provisions of Articles L. 145-37 and L. 145-38 of the Commercial Code.
 
If for any reason, the index chosen above ceases to be published, it will be replaced by the index which will be officially substituted for it.If necessary, linking indexes will be calculated by the Parties.In the absence of an official index substitution, an index will be selected by mutual agreement between the Parties.
 

 
Page 22 of 46

 
Failing agreement on the choice of a new index to adopt, the parties shall rely on the decision of an expert to be appointed by order of the President of the District Court for the area in which the Building is located on the request of the most diligent Party.The fees and honorariums related to this application and to the order shall be borne equally by each of the Parties.
 
Here it is specified here that this Article is an essential and determining condition of the Lease without which it would not have been entered into.
 
 
(b)
Calculation of indexation
 
The rent excluding VAT will be adjusted automatically by the Lessor every year on the anniversary date of the Lease. The rent will vary according to the same percentage as the variation in the chosen index. The change in the index will be considered both in the event of an increase as in the event of a decrease in the index.
 
However, in no case will the application of indexation result in a rent less than the initial rent. The base index retained for the duration of the Lease will be the last index published on the date the lease comes into effect and the index of comparison will be the last index published on the anniversary date of the date that the lease takes effect.
 
The indexation calculation will be based on the following formula:
L1   =           LxI1
I
 
in which
 
L1       equals the new rent
 
L is equal to the initial rent set out in Article 6.1
 
I is equal to the base index: the last index published on the date the lease comes into effect
 
I1        is equal to the revision index
 
Upon publication of the comparison index, the Lessor shall notify the Lessee of the amount of the new rent and possibly a statement of adjustment in the event that the comparison index is published late. The Lessee shall pay to Lessor within fifteen (15) days from the receipt of the statement of adjustment all accrued additional rent.
 
Capping of the escalation clause:
 
It is agreed between the parties that in consideration of the Lessee belonging to the INTER PARFUMS Group, the Lessor agrees to cap the variation to the decrease or increase observed from one year to another. This cap will be applied whenever the variation of the index does not exceed [-------------]29. In this case, the increase or decrease resulting from indexation will be applied to the rent only by up to one half.
 
In the event that the variation of the index exceeds [-------------]30 as a decrease or an increase, the parties undertake to come together in order to determine the percentage change to be applied in consideration of the effects of the situation.
 

 
 
Page 23 of 46

 
The application of this capping mechanism will cease in any event from the moment that the Lessee is no longer part of the INTER PARFUMS Group.
 
In addition, it is agreed that in no case will the application of indexation on this basis have the effect of determining an amount of rent below the amount of the initial rent.
 
 
6.6
Security deposit
 
On the day of Delivery the Lessee shall pay to the Lessor a sum equal to [--------------------]31  of rent (exclusive of taxes) as security against (i) payment of all sums payable by the Lessee to the Lessor under this Contract, including in particular the rents, Charges and Accessories, including any Late Payment Interest, penalties and damages, (ii) proper execution of the articles and conditions of this Contract, (iii) the restoration of the Building at the end of the Lease in the conditions set out in Article 8 of this Contract and in accordance with their Use.
 
The security deposit shall in no way be used by the Lessee for the payment of rent including the last rent.
 
The security deposit will be adjusted annually in the same proportion as the main rent, in application of Article 6.5 above, so that it corresponds to an amount equivalent to [-------------]32 month's rent excluding VAT
 
In no case, will the security deposit bear interest for the benefit of the Lessee, the main rent, moreover, having been set taking into account this provision.
 
The Landlord may charge in full light of the law, if necessary, the amounts appearing in the financial statements at the end of the Lease set out in Article6.4(b)(ii) against the security deposit. The balance of the security deposit, if any, will be returned to the Lessee within one (1) month after receipt of his letter of agreement on the financial statements at the end of the Lease set out in Article 6.4(b)(ii)
 
The Lessee agrees that the security deposit paid to the Lessor will be delivered to the acquirer of the Building in the case of transfer and renounces any claim against the Lessor for repayment of the deposit after the transfer of the Building, the Lessee's rights being preserved against the acquirer of the Building.
 
In addition, the Lessee shall furnish the Building and keep it constantly filled with furniture, equipment and stock, in sufficient quantity to meet the payment of the rent, Charges and Accessories and to carry out the charges and conditions of this contract.

The express authorization of partial subletting which may possibly be granted does not imply, in any event, derogation from the indivisibility of the Lease agreement set forth in Article 12.1 of this Contract for the exclusive benefit of the Lessor.
 
In the event that a sublease or domiciliation is nonetheless expressly authorized by the Lessor, the Lessee shall remain the guarantor of the obligations of his sub lessee(s) as well as any resident; he agrees to refer in the text of the sublease and any domiciliation documents to the prior and written consent of the Lessor.
 
The Premises forming an indivisible whole in the common intention of the Parties, the sublease(s) will not be opposable to the Lessor and will include an express waiver by the sub-lessee(s) for any action and any right to renewal of the sublease against the Lessor.
 
Moreover, the Lessee agrees to pay his sub lessee(s) any compensation, of any nature whatsoever, which may be due under in application of the Commercial Code or the Decree on commercial leases, with the Lessor being saved and held harmless from legal action.
 
The outfitting and restoration of the Premises, resulting from sub-letting, are the sole responsibility of the Lessee.
 
This article must be reproduced in all sublease and domiciliation contracts.

This inventory of the premises will include notably a statement of the repairs, work, restoration and maintenance work for which the Lessee is responsible under the Lease and not performed by him.
 
The cost to carry out these said repairs and this work will be estimated either by the Building Architect if the Parties are in agreement, or failing agreement by an expert appointed by order made by the President of the District Court in a summary proceeding on the request of the Lessor.
 
The costs estimated by the Building Architect or the expert as well as the costs relating to the establishment of the inventory of the premises, the fees of the expert or of the Building Architect shall be borne by the Lessee and the amount included in the statement of account issued at the end of Lease and referred to in Article 6.4(b)(iii).
