Base Rent shall be payable in Sixty (60) consecutive monthly installments of $1,649.43 each, or as set forth in the Schedule of Base Rent installments attached hereto, the first Base Rent installment being payable on the Base Date and the remaining Base Rent installments being payable on the 5th day of each succeeding month.
