1. LEASE AGREEMENT.
2. RENT.
(4) Additional Rent in the amount of all costs, expenses, liabilities, and amounts which Tenant is required to pay under this Lease, excluding Base Rent, Operating Cost Share Rent, and Tax Share Rent, but including any interest for late payment of any item of Rent.
(5) Rent as used in this Lease means Base Rent, Operating Cost Share Rent, Tax Share Rent and Additional Rent. Tenant’s agreement to pay Rent is an independent covenant, with no right of setoff, deduction or counterclaim of any kind.
B. Payment of Operating Cost Share Rent and Tax Share Rent.
(1) Payment of Estimated Operating Cost Share Rent and Tax Share Rent. Landlord shall estimate the Operating Costs and Taxes of the Project by April 1 of each fiscal year, or as soon as reasonably possible thereafter. Landlord may revise these estimates whenever it obtains more accurate information, such as the final real estate tax assessment or tax rate for the Project.
Within ten (10) days after receiving the original or revised estimate from Landlord, Tenant shall pay Landlord one-twelfth (1/12th) of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of this estimate, multiplied by the number of months that have elapsed in the applicable fiscal year
to the date of such payment including the current month, minus payments previously made by Tenant for the months elapsed. On the first day of each month thereafter, Tenant shall pay Landlord one-twelfth (1/12th) of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of this estimate, until a new estimate becomes applicable.
(2) Correction of Operating Cost Share Rent. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a report for the previous fiscal year (the “Operating Cost Report”) by May 15 of each year, or as soon as reasonably possible thereafter, setting forth (a) the actual Operating Costs incurred, (b) the amount of Operating Cost Share Rent due from Tenant, and (c) the amount of Operating Cost Share Rent paid by Tenant. Within twenty (20) days after such delivery, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount due minus the amount paid. If the amount paid exceeds the amount due, Landlord shall apply the excess to Tenant’s payments of Operating Cost Share Rent next coming due or, if no additional payments of Operating Cost Share Rent are due, the excess will be credited against Rent or refunded to Tenant, at Tenant’s option.
(3) Correction of Tax Share Rent. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a report for the previous fiscal year (the “Tax Report”) by May 15 of each year, or as soon as reasonably possible thereafter, setting forth (a) the actual Taxes, (b) the amount of Tax Share Rent due from Tenant, and (c) the amount of Tax Share Rent paid by Tenant. Within twenty (20) days after such delivery, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount due from Tenant minus the amount paid by Tenant. If the amount paid exceeds the amount due, Landlord shall apply the excess to Tenant’s payments of Tax Share Rent next coming due or, if no additional payments of Tax Share Rent are due, the excess will be credited against Rent or refunded to Tenant, at Tenant’s option.
C. Definitions.
(1) Included Operating Costs. “Operating Costs” means any expenses, costs and disbursements of any kind other than Taxes, paid or incurred by Landlord in connection with the management, maintenance, operation, insurance, repair and other related activities in connection with any part of the Project (including, without limitation, all costs, charges, and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any change in the Electric Service Provider or Alternate Service Provider (as defined in Section 30A) then providing electrical services, and the maintenance, repair, installation and service costs associated therewith) and of the personal property, fixtures, machinery, equipment, systems and apparatus used in connection therewith, including the cost of providing those services required to be furnished by Landlord under this Lease. Operating Costs shall also include the cost of any capital improvements which are intended to reduce Operating Costs or improve safety, and those made to keep the Project in compliance with governmental requirements applicable from time to time (collectively, the “Included Capital Items”); provided, that the costs of any Included Capital Item shall be amortized by Landlord, together with an amount equal to interest at ten percent (10%) per annum, over the estimated useful life of such item and such amortized costs will be included in Operating Costs for that portion of the useful life of the Included Capital Item which falls within the Term.
(2) Excluded Operating Costs. Operating Costs shall not include:
(a) costs of alterations of tenant premises;
(b) costs of capital improvements other than Included Capital Items;
(c) interest and principal payments on mortgages or any other debt costs, or rental payments on any ground lease of the Project;
(d) real estate brokers’ leasing commissions;
(e) legal fees, space planner fees and advertising expenses incurred with regard to leasing the Building or portions thereof;
(f) any cost or expenditure for which Landlord is reimbursed, by insurance proceeds or otherwise, except by Operating Cost Share Rent;
(g) the cost of any service furnished to any office tenant of the Project which Landlord does not make available to Tenant;
(h) depreciation (except on any Included Capital Items);
(i) franchise or income taxes imposed upon Landlord, except to the extent imposed in lieu of all or any part of Taxes;
(j) costs of correcting defects in construction of the Building (as opposed to the cost of normal repair, maintenance and replacement expected with the construction materials and equipment installed in the Building in light of their specifications);
(k) legal and auditing fees which are for the benefit of Landlord such as collecting delinquent rents, preparing tax returns and other financial statements, and audits other than those incurred in connection with the preparation of reports required pursuant to Section 2B above;
(l) the wages of any employee for services not related directly to the management, maintenance, operation and repair of the Building; and
(m) fines, penalties and interest.
(3) Taxes. “Taxes” means any and all taxes, assessments and charges of any kind, general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, levied against the Project, which Landlord shall pay or become obligated to pay in connection with the ownership, leasing, renting, management, use, occupancy, control or operation of the Project or of the personal property, fixtures, machinery, equipment, systems and apparatus used in connection therewith. Taxes shall include real estate taxes, personal property taxes, sewer rents, water rents, special or general assessments, transit taxes, ad valorem taxes, and any tax levied on the rents hereunder or the interest of Landlord under this Lease (the “Rent Tax”). Taxes shall also include all fees and other costs and expenses paid by Landlord in reviewing any tax and in seeking a refund or reduction of any Taxes, whether or not the Landlord is ultimately successful.
For any year, the amount to be included in Taxes (a) from taxes or assessments payable in installments, shall be the amount of the installments (with any interest) due and payable during such year, and (b) from all other Taxes, shall at Landlord’s election be the amount accrued, assessed, or otherwise imposed for such year or the amount due and payable in such year. Any refund or other adjustment to any Taxes by the taxing authority, shall apply during the year in which the adjustment is made.
Taxes shall not include any net income (except Rent Tax), capital, stock, succession, transfer, franchise, gift, estate or inheritance tax, except to the extent that such tax shall be imposed in lieu of any portion of Taxes.
(4) Lease Year. “Lease Year” means each consecutive twelve-month period beginning with the Commencement Date, except that if the Commencement Date is not the first day of a calendar month, then the first Lease Year shall be the period from the Commencement Date through the final day of the twelve months after the first day of the following month, and each subsequent Lease Year shall be the twelve months following the prior Lease Year.
(5) Fiscal Year. “Fiscal Year” means the calendar year, except that the first fiscal year and the last fiscal year of the Term may be a partial calendar year.
D. Computation of Base Rent and Rent Adjustments.
(1) Prorations. If this Lease begins on a day other than the first day of a month, the Operating Cost Share Rent and Tax Share Rent shall be prorated for such partial month based on the actual number of days in such month. If this Lease begins on a day other than the first day, or ends on a day other than the last day, of the fiscal year, Operating Cost Share Rent and Tax Share Rent shall be prorated for the applicable fiscal year.
(2) Default Interest. Any sum due from Tenant to Landlord not paid when due shall bear interest from the date due until paid at twelve percent (12%) per annum.
(3) Rent Adjustments. The square footage of the Premises and the Building set forth in the Schedule are conclusively deemed to be the actual square footage thereof, without regard to any subsequent remeasurement of the Premises or the Building. If any Operating Cost paid in one fiscal year relates to more than one fiscal year, Landlord may proportionately allocate such Operating Cost among the related fiscal years.
(4) Books and Records. Landlord shall maintain books and records reflecting the Operating Costs and Taxes in accordance with sound accounting and management practices. Tenant and its certified public accountant may inspect Landlord’s records at Landlord’s office upon at least seventy-two (72) hours’ prior notice during normal business hours during the ninety (90) days following the respective delivery of the Operating Cost Report or the Tax Report. The results of any such inspection shall be kept strictly confidential by Tenant and its agents, and Tenant and its certified public accountant must agree, in their contract for such services, to such confidentiality restrictions and shall specifically agree that the results shall not be made available to any other tenant of the Building. Unless Tenant sends to Landlord any written exception to either such report within said ninety (90) day period, such report shall be deemed final and accepted by Tenant. Tenant shall pay the amount shown on both reports in the manner prescribed in this Lease, whether or not Tenant takes any such written exception, without any prejudice to such exception. If Tenant makes a timely exception, Landlord shall cause its independent certified public accountant to issue a final and conclusive resolution of Tenant’s exception. Tenant shall pay the cost of such certification unless Landlord’s original determination of annual Operating Costs or Taxes
overstated the amounts thereof by more than five percent (5%). Tenant shall then have 30 days to review such certification.
(5) Miscellaneous. So long as Tenant is in default of any obligation under this Lease, Tenant shall not be entitled to any refund of any amount from Landlord. If this Lease is terminated for any reason prior to the annual determination of Operating Cost Share Rent or Tax Share Rent, either party shall pay the full amount due to the other within thirty (30) days after the earlier of (i) Landlord’s notice to Tenant of the amount when it is determined, or (ii) Tenant’s demand for such refund. Landlord may commingle any payments made with respect to Operating Cost Share Rent or Tax Share Rent, without payment of interest.
