Abatement of Rent In the event that Tenant is prevented from using the Premises or any material portion thereof (meaning that Tenant is unable to use that portion of the Premises in the normal course of its business) as a result of (i) any repair, maintenance or alteration negligently performed by Landlord, or which Landlord failed to perform, as required by this Lease; or (ii) the presence of, or cleanup or remediation activities in connection with, Hazardous Materials brought on the Premises by Landlord or a Landlord Party; or (iii) cessation of utilities or services caused by Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct (any such set of circumstances as set forth in items (i) through (iii), above, to be known as an “Abatement Event”), then Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of such Abatement Event, and if such Abatement Event continues for two (2) consecutive business days after such notice, or occurs for ten (10) non-consecutive business days in a twelve (12) month period (in either of such events, the “Eligibility Period”), then the Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated or reduced, as the case may be, after expiration of the Eligibility Period for such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using the Premises, or a portion thereof, in the proportion that the floor area of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using (“Unusable Area”), bears to the total floor area of the Premises. If Landlord has not cured such Abatement Event within one hundred eighty (180) days after receipt of written notice from Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease during the first ten (10) business days of each calendar month following the end of such 180-day period until such time as Landlord has cured the Abatement Event, which right may be exercised only by delivery of thirty (30) days’ notice to Landlord and Landlord’s Lender (provided such Lender’s name and notice address were previously provided to Tenant) (the “Abatement Event Termination Notice”) during such ten (10) business-day period, and shall be effective as of a date set forth in the Abatement Event Termination Notice (the “Abatement Event Termination Date”), which Abatement Event Termination Date shall not be less than thirty (30) days, and not more than one (1) year, following the delivery of the Abatement Event Termination Notice. Tenant’s Abatement Event Termination Notice shall be null and void (but only in connection with the first notice sent by Tenant with respect to each separate Abatement Event) if Landlord or Landlord’s Lender(s) cures such Abatement Event within such thirty (30) day period following receipt of the Abatement Event Termination Notice.
ABATEMENT OF RENT; LESSEE'S REMEDIES (a) In the event of (i) Premises Partial Damage or (ii) Hazardous Substance Condition for which Lessee is not legally responsible, the Base Rent, Common Area Operating Expenses and other charges, if any, payable by Lessee hereunder for the period during which such damage or condition, its repair, remediation or restoration continues, shall be abated in proportion to the degree to which Lessee's use of the Premises is impaired, but not in excess of proceeds from insurance required to be carried under Paragraph 8.3(b). Except for abatement of Base Rent, Common Area Operating Expenses and other charges, if any, as aforesaid, all other obligations of Lessee hereunder shall be performed by Lessee, and Lessee shall have no claim against Lessor for any damage suffered by reason of any such damage, destruction, repair, remediation or restoration.
(b) If Lessor shall be obligated to repair or restore the Premises under the provisions of this Paragraph 9 and shall not commence, in a substantial and meaningful way, the repair or restoration of the Premises within ninety (90) days after such obligation shall accrue, Lessee may, at any time prior to the commencement of such repair or restoration, give written notice to Lessor and to any Lenders of which Lessee has actual notice of Lessee's election to terminate this Lease on a date not less than sixty (60) days following the giving of such notice. If Lessee gives such notice to Lessor and such Lenders and such repair or restoration is not commenced within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified in said notice. If Lessor or a Lender commences the repair or restoration of the Premises within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. "Commence" as used in this Paragraph 9.6 shall mean either the unconditional authorization of the preparation of the required plans, or the beginning of the actual work on the Premises, whichever occurs first.
No Abatement of Rent This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Tenant’s obligation to make all payments of Rent and to pay all other charges as and when required under this Agreement shall remain unabated during the Term notwithstanding any damage involving the Leased Property, or any portion thereof (provided that Landlord shall credit against such payments any amounts paid to Landlord as a consequence of such damage under any business interruption insurance obtained by Tenant hereunder). The provisions of this Article 10 shall be considered an express agreement governing any cause of damage or destruction to the Leased Property, or any portion thereof, and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, no local or State statute, laws, rules, regulation or ordinance in effect during the Term which provide for such a contingency shall have any application in such case.
Rent Abatement Except for the negligence or willful act of Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, if all or any part of the Premises are rendered untenantable by fire or other casualty and this Lease is not terminated, Monthly Base Rent and Rent Adjustments shall xxxxx for that part of the Premises which is untenantable on a per diem basis from the date of the casualty until Landlord has Substantially Completed the repair and restoration work in the Premises which it is required to perform, provided, that as a result of such casualty, Tenant does not occupy the portion of the Premises which is untenantable during such period.
Base Rent Lessee shall pay Base Rent and other rent or charges, as the same may be adjusted from time to time, to Lessor in lawful money of the United States, without offset or deduction, on or before the day on which it is due under the terms of this Lease. Base Rent and all other rent and charges for any period during the term hereof which is for less than one full month shall be prorated based upon the actual number of days of the month involved. Payment of Base Rent and other charges shall be made to Lessor at its address stated herein or to such other persons or at such other addresses as Lessor may from time to time designate in writing to Lessee.
Additional Rental (a) For purposes of this Lease, "Tenant's Forecast Additional Rental" shall mean Landlord's reasonable estimate of Tenant's Additional Rental for the coming calendar year or portion thereof. If at any time it appears to Landlord that Tenant's Additional Rental for the current calendar year will vary from Landlord's estimate by more than five percent (5%), Landlord shall have the right to revise, by notice to Tenant, its estimate for such year, and subsequent payments by Tenant for such year shall be based upon such revised estimate of Tenant's Additional Rental. Failure to make a revision contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence shall not prejudice Landlord's right to collect the full amount of Tenant's Additional Rental. Prior to the Rental Commencement Date and thereafter prior to the beginning of each calendar year during the Lease Term, including any extensions thereof, Landlord shall present to Tenant a statement of Tenant's Forecast Additional Rental for such calendar year; provided, however, that if such statement is not given prior to the beginning of any calendar year as aforesaid, Tenant shall continue to pay during the next ensuing calendar year on the basis of the amount of Tenant's Forecast Additional Rental payable during the calendar year just ended until the month after such statement is delivered to Tenant.
Fixed Rent (a) Commencing as of the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Fixed Rent to Landlord, or Landlord’s designee as designated in a written notice to Tenant at such address as Landlord shall from time to time designate by written notice to Tenant. Except as hereinafter provided, the Fixed Rent shall be due and payable in the amounts set forth on Schedule 2 hereto for the respective periods shown on such Schedule 2. Fixed Rent shall be due and payable in advance on the first day of each month (or if such first day is not a business day, the first business day of each month), commencing on the Date of Rent Commencement, during the Term (each such date being referred to herein as a “Due Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, from the Date of Rent Commencement until Tenant is notified otherwise by Landlord and Lender, Fixed Rent shall be paid by wire transfer to the account specified in the rent direction letter from Landlord to Tenant delivered concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Lease.
(b) If the Lease Commencement Date or Rent Commencement Date shall be on any day other than the first day of a calendar month, then all amounts to be paid on such dates shall be prorated on a per diem basis.
(c) If any installment of Fixed Rent is not paid on the respective Due Date, Tenant shall pay Landlord interest on such overdue payment at the Lease Default Rate, accruing from the Due Date of such payment until the same is paid; provided, however, the foregoing obligation to pay the Default Rate shall not be required for the first late payment of Fixed Rent in any calendar year so long as such delay in payment does not continue for longer than a period of ten (10) days. All Fixed Rent and Additional Rent shall be payable in U.S. Dollars.
(d) Commencing as of the Lease Commencement Date, all taxes, costs, expenses, and other amounts which Tenant is required to pay pursuant to this Lease (other than Fixed Rent), together with every fine, penalty, interest and cost which may be added in accordance herewith for non-payment or late payment thereof shall constitute additional rent (“Additional Rent”). All Additional Rent due to Landlord (or its designee) shall be paid directly by Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord gives written notice that payment is due, unless otherwise provided in this Lease, in which case, the Additional Rent shall be paid as otherwise so provided. Unless otherwise provided herein, Additional Rent payable by Tenant to a third (3rd) party (i.e., utility charges, maintenance contracts, supply contracts, vendor contracts, etc.) shall be paid as and when the same shall be due and payable pursuant to Tenant’s agreement or other arrangement with the applicable third (3rd) party. If Tenant shall fail to pay any such Additional Rent or any other sum due hereunder when the same shall become due (after the expiration of the applicable cure periods therefor), Landlord shall have all rights, powers and remedies with respect thereto as are provided herein or by Law in the case of non-payment of any Fixed Rent and shall, except as expressly provided herein, have the right (after the expiration of the applicable cure periods thereof), not sooner than ten (10) days after notice to Tenant (except in the event of an emergency, as reasonably determined by Landlord, in which case prior notice shall not be necessary) of its intent to do so, to pay the same on behalf of Tenant, and Tenant shall repay such amounts to Landlord on demand. Tenant shall pay to Landlord interest at the Lease Default Rate on all overdue Additional Rent and other sums due hereunder, in each case paid by Landlord or Lender on behalf of Tenant, from the date of payment by Landlord or Lender until repaid by Tenant.
Base Rental (a) Lessee hereby agrees to pay to Lessor, without setoff or deduction whatsoever, in accordance with the Schedule of Base Rent attached hereto as EXHIBIT D ("Base Rental). Lessee shall also pay, as additional rent [or Forecast Additional Rent ], all such other sums of money as shall become due from and payable by Lessee to Lessor under this Lease (Base Rental, any adjustment thereto pursuant to Section 4 hereof, and all such other sums of money due from and payable by Lessee pursuant to this Lease are sometimes hereinafter collectively called "rent"), for the nonpayment of which Lessor shall be entitled to exercise all such rights and remedies as are herein provided in the case of the nonpayment of Base Rental. The annual Base Rental, together with any adjustment or increase thereto then in effect, shall be due and payable in advance in twelve (12) equal installments on the first 1st day of each calendar month during the term of this Lease, and Lessee hereby agrees so to pay such Base Rental and any adjustment or increase thereto to Lessor at Lessor's address provided herein (or such other address as may be designated by Lessor in writing from time to time) monthly, in advance, and without demand. If the term of this Lease commences on a day other than first (1st) day of a month or terminates on a day other than the last day of a month, then the installments of Base Rental and any adjustments thereto for such month or months shall be prorated, and the installment or installments so prorated shall be paid in advance.
(b) In the event any installment of the Base Rental, or any other sums which may become owing by Lessee to Lessor under the provisions hereof are not received within Five (5) days after the due date thereof (without in any way implying Lessor's consent to such late payment), Lessee, to the extent permitted by law, agrees to pay, in addition to said installment of the Base Rental or such other sums owed, a late payment charge equal to ten percent (10%) (Late Fee) of the installment of the Base Rental or such other sums owed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the foregoing late charges shall not apply to any sums which have been advanced by Lessor to or for the benefit of Lessee pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, it being understood that such sums shall bear interest, which Lessee hereby agrees to pay to Lessor, at the lesser of fifteen percent (15%) per annum or the maximum rate of interest permitted by law to be charged Lessee for the use or forbearance of such money.
No Rent Abatement Tenant shall continue to pay all Rent due or accruing under this Lease during any Clean-up, and shall not be entitled to any reduction, offset or deferral of any Base Rent or Additional Rent due or accruing under this Lease during any such Clean-up.
Additional Rent 3.3.1. In addition to the Monthly Base Rent and other sums to be paid by Tenant to Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent the amount by which Tenant's share of Operating Expenses (defined below) for any lease year or part thereof during the term exceeds Tenant's Expense Stop Base, as set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions. Tenant's share of Operating Expenses shall be an amount equal to the product of the Operating Expenses multiplied by Tenant's Operating Expense Percentage specified in the Basic Lease Provisions. For partial lease years during the term, the annual Operating Expenses and Tenant's Expense Stop Base shall be prorated on a daily basis using a 30-day month and 360-day year to determine the amount of additional rent due to Landlord.
3.3.2. Landlord shall be entitled to make an estimate of Operating Expenses projected for each lease year. Landlord shall be entitled to revise such estimate at any time and from time to time during the lease year to increase or decrease the estimate of Operating Expenses. If Landlord notifies Tenant that Landlord's estimate (or any revised estimate) of Operating Expenses would result in an obligation of Tenant to pay additional rent, then upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall pay one-twelfth (1/12) of such estimated additional rent on the first day of each month in advance together with the Monthly Base Rent. If Landlord shall so notify Tenant after the commencement of a lease year, then with the next payment of rent due, Tenant shall also pay to Landlord one-twelfth (1/12) of such estimated additional rent for each month of such lease year which has already elapsed.
3.3.3. Landlord shall provide Tenant with an annual statement showing Tenant's share of the annual Operating Expenses over Tenant's Expense Stop Base, if any, for the prior lease year, together with any proration. Landlord shall use all reasonable efforts to deliver the annual statement within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of the lease year; provided, however, that failure of Landlord to deliver the annual statement within such period shall not impair or constitute a waiver of Tenant's obligations to pay additional rent or cause Landlord to incur any obligation for damages. If the amount of the additional rent due for the lease year exceeds any amount paid by Tenant as estimated additional rent for such lease year, then Tenant shall pay such excess to Landlord within ten (10) days of receipt of Landlord's statement. If the amounts paid as estimated additional rent for a lease year exceed the amount of Tenant's obligation shown on the annual statement, then Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against monthly installments of estimated additional rent due for the then current year. If no further sums of additional rent are or will become due against which the excess can be credited, then, subject to offset at Landlord's election against other sums owed by Tenant, Landlord shall pay such excess to Tenant within ten (10) days after delivery of the annual statement. All obligations to pay additional rent and/or the obligation of Landlord to credit or reimburse Tenant for any excess payment of estimated additional rent shall survive expiration of the term or earlier termination of this Lease.
3.3.4. Tenant shall have a period of thirty (30) days after delivery of the annual statement of Operating Expenses to question or challenge the amount shown thereon by giving written notice to Landlord specifying the items which are challenged. Tenant waives and relinquishes the right to challenge or object to the amounts shown at any time after expiration of such thirty (30) day period. If Tenant timely challenges any item shown on the annual statement, Tenant shall then have a period of sixty (60) days in which to inspect, during business hours upon reasonable written notice to Landlord at Landlord's office, Landlord's records relating to the challenged item or items. Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord prior to expiration of such sixty (60) days of whether Tenant continues to challenge any of the items originally objected to, in which case a certification as to proper amount shall be made by Landlord's independent certified public accountant, which certification shall be final and conclusive. The cost of such review shall be paid by Tenant, unless such review reveals an error resulting in an overcharge to Tenant of five percent (5%) or more, in which case the cost of such review shall be paid by Landlord. If Tenant fails to review the records or fails to give timely written notice to Landlord that it continues to object, then Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its objection and shall have no further right to challenge or object thereto. Notwithstanding any objection or challenge of Tenant, Tenant shall pay the amount claimed by Landlord to be due as and when provided for herein, pending the resolution of Tenant's objection.
