(e) If Property Units are available, Lessor will accept the Notice of Lease and will return one original Notice of Lease back to the Lessee. Property Units thus agreed will be leased from the date of acceptance followed by the possession of Property Units to be shifted to the Lessee and such units will become Units Subject to Lease and will be treated under this agreement as per particulars given in the Notice of Lease.

(f) Lessor, in consideration of the rents to be paid and the covenants and agreements to be performed and observed by the Lessee, does hereby lease to the Lessee and the Lessee does hereby lease and take from the Lessor the Units Subject to Lease described in Schedule III and Units Subject to Further Lease, together with fixtures and improvements located therein.

4. DURATION OF LEASE

(a) The duration of this lease Agreement is five (5) calendar years which shall begin on the Commencement Date and end on 5th anniversary of the Commencement Date subject to an early termination or an annual renewal for each year of Term based on the review of rental market conditions and performance of the Lessor with respect to the Joint Venture Agreement.

Page 5: Master Lease Agreement

The Parties hereto may elect to extend or renew this Agreement at sole discretion of the Lessor and upon such terms and conditions as may be agreed upon in writing and signed by the Parties at the time of any such extension or renewal.

6. DETERMINATION OF RENT

(a) Annual rent for the term of the lease for Units Subject to Lease shall be a total amount of AED [*]

(f) A late fee with a rate of one percent (1%) shall be levied on the balance due if payment is not postmarked or received by Lessor on or before the tenth day of the installment due date, save for any date agreed in Payment Plan or Notice of Lease as the case may be.(payment plan to be amended to reflect payment delay without penalty in first and 2nd month of rentals, payment can be satisfied with the third month payment)

7. USE OF PROPERTY BY LESSEE

(a) The Leased Premises may be occupied and used by the Lessee exclusively for the Tourism Business as described in preamble Clause B where Lessee will maximize rentals by renting the Property Units to the tourism guests as like in hotel industry on day-to-day short terms basis so that high rental yields can be achieved with an expectation to have such rental yields three times higher than the rental yield achieved on conventional renting method by way of annual rentals.

(b) During first year of Term Lessee will be allowed to rent out some Property Units on conventional method by way of annual rentals subject the proportion of so rented Property Units does not exceed more than twenty percent (20%) of the total number of Units Subject to Lease or Units Subject to Further Lease. The rationale to give such kind of exception in the first year of Term is to help Lessee in increasing occupancy until that time the Facility becomes reputed in terms of Tourism Business. Such exception can further be extended to second year by mutual discussions based on valid reasons justifying such an extension, save for any of those existing tenants who is already renting Property Units starting from the first year and wants to continue with its tenancy contracts.
