Corporate Tax Question?

Ok, if a company is opening a new mall, and they give a popular store $10 million to be a part of the mall for the next 20 years, how would the popular store treat this money?

I have looked everywhere and I can't seem to find anything. Even a step in the right direction would be appreciated. Please include links with specific code and courts cases, if applicable.

THANKS!

Update:

Harry, that would be an answer from an a financial statement point of view. however, it's not how you would treat the taxation of it.

    debit cash 10,000,000

    credit unearned income 10,000,000

    it would be amortized over the next 10 yrs at 1,000,000/yr

    assuming there are no conditional clauses
