Addendum 4 to VAT Lease DC 1

 

In addition, as from the Commencement Date under Agreement DC III, Article 3, paragraph 5, of the Agreement DC I will be replaced as follows:

"If Skechers, either in part of in its entirety, is in default with the payment of the abovementioned quarterly payments of the Price on the aforementioned dates when the payments are due, overdue payment shall automatically bear interest at an interest rate determined in conformity with the Law of 2 August 2002 relative to late payments in commercial transactions applicable on the due date, per annum, as from the date payments are due, and this without notice of default."

Article 4 - Adjustment of the Price

As from the Commencement Date under Agreement DC III, Article 4 of the Agreement DC I, as amended by Article 3 of its Addendum 3, will be replaced with the following text:

"4.1. The Annual Price is linked to the health index as published each month in the Belgian State Gazette.

4.2. The Annual Price will be adjusted automatically and as of right each year on January 1 (for the first time on January 1, 2016) and this in accordance with the following formula:

 


			
	
 
	
 
	
Annual Price X New index

	
New Annual Price
	
=
	
 

	
 

	
 
	
 
	
Base index




whereby


	
 
	
-
	
Annual Price = the Annual Price referred to in Article 3 of present Addendum 4;





	
 
	
-
	
base index = the health index of the month preceding the month during which Parties




signed present Addendum 4, i.e. the index of August 2014, i.e. 100.12 (with 2013 = 100); 


	
 
	
-
	
new index = the health index of the month preceding the month of the adjustment of the Price (December).




However, the new Annual Price will never be less than the Annual Price due during the year preceding the adjustment of the Annual Price.

4.3. In the event that the calculation and the publication of the health index should be discontinued or cancelled, the Annual Price will be linked to the consumer price index. In the event that the calculation and publication of the consumer index should be discontinued or cancelled, the Annual Price will be linked to the new index published by the Belgian government which might replace the consumer price index. In the event that no new official index is published and Parties fail to agree on a new method of adjusting the Annual Price, the method of adjustment will be determined by an expert appointed by the Justice of the Peace in whose jurisdiction the Premises are located.

4.4. It is explicitly agreed that Prologis shall only waive the right to adjust the Annual Price arising from this Article by a written confirmation, signed by the latter." 

Article 5 - Bank Guarantee - Release

Article 3, paragraph 6-7 and Article 27 of the Agreement DC I and Article 2.1 of its Addendum 1 "Agreement to transfer the rights of Skechers International to Skechers" dated 27 August 2003 shall not longer apply as from the Commencement Date under Agreement DC III.

As a result, on Commencement Date under Agreement DC III, the current bank guarantee provided by Skechers, as a security for the good performance of its obligations under the Agreement DC I and the Agreement DC II, shall be released by Prologis and Prologis Belgium III Sprl.

However, Article 20 of Agreement DC III shall apply.
