Repairs by Tenant Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly perform all maintenance, repairs, refurbishing and replacement work to the Leased Premises that are not Landlord’s express responsibility under this Lease, and shall keep the Leased Premises in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Tenant’s repair obligations include repairs to: (a) floor covering, (b) interior partitions, (c) doors, (d) the interior side of demising walls, (e) electronic, phone and data cabling and related equipment that is installed by or for the exclusive benefit of Tenant and located in the Leased Premises or other portions of the Building, (f) supplemental air conditioning units, private showers and kitchens, including hot water heaters, plumbing and similar facilities serving Tenant exclusively, and (g) alterations performed by contractors retained by Tenant, including related HVAC balancing. All Tenant’s work shall be performed in accordance with the rules and procedures described in Section 5.2 hereof. Upon termination of this Lease, Tenant will surrender and deliver the Leased Premises to Landlord in the same condition in which the Leased Premises existed on the Commencement Date, subject, however, to (i) the provisions of Article VI hereof, (ii) the alterations permitted pursuant to this Lease, (iii) the provisions of Section 5.3, and (iv) except for ordinary wear and tear. If Tenant should fail or refuse to make such repairs, refurbishings or replacements or perform said maintenance as and when reasonably required, Landlord may, at its option, but without any obligation to do so, cure such failure or refusal and Landlord’s costs shall be reimburseable by Tenant as additional rent, by Tenant, immediately upon invoicing by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord agrees to perform, as Above Standard Services, Tenant’s repair and maintenance obligations with respect to the Leased Premises. Tenant shall notify Landlord of the need for any such repair and maintenance and Landlord shall endeavor to respond timely to each such request.
Additional Payments If, for any taxable year, Executive shall be liable for the payment of an excise tax under Section 4999 and/or Section 409A or other substitute or similar tax assessment (the “Excise Tax”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), including the corresponding provisions of any succeeding law, with respect to any payments or benefits under Section 9 of this Agreement or Sections 7 or 8 or any other provision of this Agreement, including but not limited to this Section 12 or under any benefit plan of the Company applicable to Executive individually or generally to executives or employees of the Company, then, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Executive an additional amount (the “Gross-Up Payment”) such that the net amount retained by the Executive, after deduction of the Excise Tax imposed on all such payments and benefits and of the federal, state and local income tax and Excise Tax imposed upon payments provided for in this Section 12, shall be equal to the payments and benefits due to the Executive hereunder and the payments and/or benefits due to the Executive under any benefit plan of the Company. Each Gross-Up Payment shall be made to Executive or as provided in Section 16 hereof, upon the later of (i) five (5) days after the date the Executive notifies the Company of its need to make such Gross-Up Payment, or (ii) the date of any payment causing the liability for such Excise Tax. The amount of any Gross-Up Payment under this section shall be computed by a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm designated jointly by the Company and the Executive. The cost of such services by the accounting firm shall be paid by the Company. If the Company and the Executive are unable to designate jointly the accounting firm, then the firm shall be the accounting firm used by the Company immediately prior to the Change in Control.
Landlords Right to Cure Default Payments by Tenant All covenants and agreements to be kept or performed by Tenant under this Lease shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and without any reduction of rent. If Tenant shall fail to perform any of its obligations under this Lease, within a reasonable time after such performance is required by the terms of this Lease, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, after three (3) days prior written notice to Tenant, make any such payment or perform any such act on Tenant’s behalf without waiving its rights based upon any default of Tenant and without releasing Tenant from any obligations hereunder. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after delivery by Landlord to Tenant of statements therefore, an amount equal to the expenditures reasonably made by Landlord in connection with the remedying by Landlord of Tenant’s defaults pursuant to the provisions of this Section 14.
Payment of Base Rent Tenant agrees to pay the Base Rent for the Premises. Monthly Installments of Base Rent shall be payable in advance on the first day of each calendar month of the Term. If the Term begins (or ends) on other than the first (or last) day of a calendar month, the Base Rent for the partial month shall be prorated on a per diem basis. Tenant shall pay Landlord the first Monthly Installment of Base Rent when Tenant executes the Lease.
Additional Payment In addition to any Spousal Support, in the event of Divorce: (check one)
Defaults by Tenant If (a) Tenant shall fail to timely pay any Rent or any other sum provided for under this Lease as the same becomes due and payable (provided that (i) as to the payment of Base Rent, a default shall not be deemed to have occurred unless the same shall remain unpaid for a period of ten (10) days after it shall have become due and payable, and (ii) as to other payments to be made by Tenant under this Lease for which a period for payment after notice shall not be set forth in this Lease, a default shall not be deemed to have occurred unless the same shall remain unpaid for a period thirty (30) days after notice or demand to Tenant,) or (b) Tenant shall fail to maintain any insurance pursuant to the terms of this Lease, or (c) bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings shall be instituted by or against Tenant, or (d) an assignment shall be made by Tenant for the benefit of creditors, or (e) Tenant shall breach or fail to perform any other term or condition or covenant of this Lease and such failure shall not be cured within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord (or if such default is incapable of being cured in a reasonable manner within thirty (30) days, Tenant has not commenced to cure the same within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion, but in no event exceeding ninety (90) days and Tenant shall not thereafter cure such default), then and in any such event Tenant shall be in default hereunder. Landlord shall have the duties and obligation to use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate said damage and Tenant shall surrender and deliver up the Premises to Landlord and upon any default by Tenant in so doing, Landlord shall have the right to recover possession by summary proceedings or otherwise and to apply for the appointment of a receiver and for other ancillary relief in such action, provided that Tenant shall have ten (10) days written notice after such application may have been filed and before any hearing thereon and Landlord shall again have and enjoy the Premises, as if this Lease had never been made.
Additional Fee on Late Payments For any payments thirty (30) calendar days or more overdue under this Agreement, Registry Operator shall pay an additional fee on late payments at the rate of 1.5% per month or, if less, the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.
Payment of Additional Rent In addition to the Minimum Annual Rent specified in this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as "Additional Rent" for the Leased Premises, in each calendar year or partial calendar year, during the Lease Term, an amount equal to the Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes for such calendar year or partial calendar year. In the case of the calendar year of the Commencement Date, Landlord shall provide such notice prior to the Commencement Date. The Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes shall be estimated annually by Landlord, and written notice thereof shall be given to Tenant prior to the beginning of each calendar year. Tenant shall pay to Landlord each month, at the same time the Monthly Rental Installment is due, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the estimated Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes. If the cost of utility, janitorial or other services increase during a calendar year, Landlord may increase the estimated Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes during such year by giving Tenant written notice to that effect, and thereafter Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in each of the remaining months of such year, an amount equal to the amount of such increase in the estimated Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes for the remainder of the year divided by the number of months remaining in such year. Within a reasonable time after the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall prepare and deliver to Tenant a statement showing the actual Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the aforementioned statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, or Landlord shall credit against the next rent payment or payments due from Tenant, as the case may be, the difference between the actual Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes for the preceding calendar year and the estimated amount paid by Tenant to Landlord during such year. In addition, Tenant shall pay, before delinquency, any and all Real Estate Taxes as defined in Section 3.02.D, above, directly to the appropriate taxing authority. If Tenant fails for any reason to pay the Real Estate Taxes when same is due and payable, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay the Real Estate Taxes directly to the taxing authority and Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord for the cost thereof. Such amount shall accrue interest from the date Landlord pays such amount, pursuant to Section 3.04, below, shall include any penalties, late fees and any interest assessed due to such delinquency. Tenant or its accountants shall have the right to inspect, at reasonable time and in a reasonable manner, during the one hundred twenty (120) day period following the delivery of Landlord's statement of the actual amount of the Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes, such of Landlord's books of account and records as pertain to and contain information concerning such costs and expenses for the Building for the prior calendar year in order to verify the amounts thereof. In the event the first audit discloses (i) errors made during the prior calendar year which, when totaled, indicate that the sum overcharged to and paid by Tenant, exceeds five percent (5%) of the Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes plus Landlord's Share of Operating Expenses (the "Total Expenses"), the audit shall be at the expense of Landlord, not to exceed Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00), or (ii) no errors or an error which equals or is less than five percent (5%) of the Total Expenses, the audit shall be at the expense of Tenant. For each subsequent audit, where the audit discloses errors exceeding five percent (5%) of the Total Expenses, Landlord shall pay for such audit and, if the audit discloses errors equal to or less than five percent (5%) of the Total Expenses, Tenant shall pay the costs of the audit. If Landlord spends more than eight (8) hours to accommodate Tenant's right to audit hereunder, Tenant shall also pay to Landlord as additional rent Seventy-five Dollars ($75.00) per hour for each additional hour that Tenant's audit takes of Landlord's property manager's or asset manager's time, provided such audit discloses no error or an error greater than five percent (5%) of the Total Expenses. The results of the audit (regardless of the degree of the error, if any) shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant, and Landlord shall thereafter, if appropriate, change its method of calculating the Operating Expenses consistent with the results of the audit. Tenant agrees to hold the information obtained from such audit confidential and shall not disclose the same without Landlord's express written permission except as necessary to enforce the Lease or protect Tenant's rights hereunder. If Tenant shall not elect to cause an audit within the time period permitted hereby, then Landlord's statement shall be conclusively deemed to have been approved and accepted by Tenant. Pending resolution of any dispute with respect to statements of Tenant's Annual Rental Adjustment, Tenant shall pay its Annual Rental Adjustment as shown on such statement, and upon final determination of the amount of Tenant's Annual Rental Adjustment, Landlord shall promptly refund any overpayment to Tenant or Tenant shall promptly pay any amount due to Landlord, as applicable.
Certain Additional Payments by the Company (a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding and except as set forth below, in the event it shall be determined that any payment or distribution by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive (whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise, but determined without regard to any additional payments required under this Section 5) (a “Payment”) would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or any interest or penalties are incurred by Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then Executive shall be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest and penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, and taking into account any withholding obligation on the part of the Company, Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 5(c), all determinations required to be made under this Section 5, including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the assumptions to be used in arriving at such determination, shall be made by the Company’s regular independent accounting firm (the “Accounting Firm”) which shall provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and Executive within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from Executive that there has been a Payment, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any Gross-Up Payment, as determined pursuant to this Section 5, shall be paid by the Company to Executive, net of any of the Company’s federal or state withholding obligations with respect to such Payment, within five days of the receipt of the Accounting Firm’s determination. Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm hereunder, it is possible that Gross-Up Payments which will not have been made by the Company should have been made (each, an “Underpayment”), consistent with the calculations required to be made hereunder. In the event that the Company exhausts its remedies pursuant to Section 5(c) and Executive thereafter is required to make a payment of any Excise Tax, the Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly paid by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive.
(c) Executive shall notify the Company in writing of any claim by the Internal Revenue Service that, if successful, would require the payment by the Company of a Gross-Up Payment (or an additional Gross-Up Payment). Such notification shall be given as soon as practicable but no later than 10 business days after Executive is informed in writing of such claim and shall apprise the Company of the nature of such claim and the date on which such claim is requested to be paid. Executive shall not pay such claim prior to the expiration of the 30-day period following the date on which it gives such notice to the Company (or such shorter period ending on the date that any payment of taxes with respect to such claim is due). If the Company notifies Executive in writing prior to the expiration of such period that it desires to contest such claim, Executive shall:
(i) give the Company any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to such claim,
(ii) take such action in connection with contesting such claim as the Company shall reasonably request in writing from time to time, including, without limitation, accepting legal representation with respect to such claim by an attorney reasonably selected by the Company,
(iii) cooperate with the Company in good faith in order to effectively contest such claim, and
(iv) permit the Company to participate in any proceedings relating to such claim; provided, however, that the Company shall bear and pay directly all costs and expenses (including additional interest and penalties) incurred in connection with such contest and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, for any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest and penalties with respect thereto) imposed as a result of such representation and payment of costs and expenses. Without limitation of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5(c), the Company shall control all proceedings taken in connection with such contest (to the extent applicable to the Excise Tax and the Gross-Up Payment) and, at its sole option, may pursue or forgo any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with the taxing authority in respect of such claim and may, at its sole option, either direct Executive to pay the tax claimed and xxx for a refund or contest the claim in any permissible manner, and Executive agrees to prosecute such contest to a determination before any administrative tribunal, in a court of initial jurisdiction and in one or more appellate courts, as the Company shall determine; provided, however, that if the Company directs Executive to pay such claim and xxx for a refund, the Company shall advance the amount of such payment to Executive, on an interest-free basis and shall indemnify and hold Executive harmless, on an after-tax basis, from any Excise Tax or income tax (including interest or penalties with respect thereto) imposed with respect to such advance or with respect to any imputed income with respect to such advance; and further provided that any extension of the statute of limitations relating to payment of taxes for the taxable year of Executive with respect to which such contested amount is claimed to be due is limited solely to such contested amount. Furthermore, the Company’s control of the contest shall be limited to issues with respect to which a Gross-Up Payment would be payable hereunder and Executive shall be entitled to settle or contest, as the case may be, any other issue raised by the Internal Revenue Service or any other taxing authority.
(d) If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 5(c), Executive becomes entitled to receive any refund with respect to such claim, Executive shall (subject to the Company’s complying with the requirements of Section 5(c)) promptly pay (in no more than five business days) to the Company the amount of such refund (together with any interest paid or credited thereon after taxes applicable thereto). If, after the receipt by Executive of an amount advanced by the Company pursuant to Section 5(c), a determination is made that Executive shall not be entitled to any refund with respect to such claim and the Company does not notify Executive in writing of its intent to contest such denial of refund prior to the expiration of 30 days after such determination, then such advance shall be forgiven and shall not be required to be repaid and the amount of such advance shall offset, to the extent thereof, the amount of Gross-Up Payment required to be paid.
Late Payment Rent Late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent and other sums due will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord under any Mortgage covering the Premises. Therefore, if any installment of Rent due from Tenant is not received by Landlord within 5 days after the date such payment is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional sum equal to 6% of the overdue Rent as a late charge. Notwithstanding the foregoing, before assessing a late charge the first time in any calendar year, Landlord shall provide Tenant written notice of the delinquency and will waive the right if Tenant pays such delinquency within 5 days thereafter. The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. In addition to the late charge, Rent not paid when due shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the 5th day after the date due until paid.
