Landlord’s Expenses In the event Tenant shall assign this Lease or sublet the Premises or request the consent of Landlord to any Transfer, then Tenant shall pay Landlord's reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, attorneys', architects', accountants', engineers' or other consultants' fees.
Base Year The period beginning on 1 April of one year and ending on 31 March of the following year.
Tax Expenses Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s Share of all Tax Expenses applicable to the Project. Prior to delinquency, Tenant shall pay any and all taxes and assessments levied upon Tenant’s Property (defined below in Section 10) located or installed in or about the Premises by, or on behalf of Tenant. To the extent any such taxes or assessments are not separately assessed or billed to Tenant, then Tenant shall pay the amount thereof as invoiced by Landlord. Tenant shall also reimburse and pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, one hundred percent (100%) of (i) any increase in real property taxes attributable to any and all Alterations (defined below in Section 10), Tenant Improvements, fixtures, equipment or other improvements of any kind whatsoever placed in, on or about the Premises for the benefit of, at the request of, or by Tenant, and (ii) taxes and assessments levied or assessed upon or with respect to the possession, operation, use or occupancy by Tenant of the Premises or any other portion of the Project. “Tax Expenses” means, without limitation, any form of tax and assessment (general, special, supplemental, ordinary or extraordinary), commercial rental tax, payments under any improvement bond or bonds, license fees, license tax, business license fee, rental tax, transaction tax or levy imposed by any authority having the direct or indirect power of tax (including any governmental, school, agricultural, lighting or other improvement district) as against any legal or equitable interest of Landlord in the Premises, Project or Park or any other tax, fee, or excise, however described, including, but not limited to, any tax resulting from the recordation of any parcel or subdivision map with respect to the Park and/or any tax imposed in substitution (partially or totally) of any tax previously included within the definition of Tax Expenses. “Tax Expenses” shall not include (a) any franchise, estate, inheritance, net income, or excess profits tax imposed upon Landlord, (b) any penalty or fee imposed solely as a result of Landlord’s failure to pay Tax Expenses when due, and (c) any items included as Operating Expenses. In the event that a parcel or subdivision map with respect to the Park or a portion of the Park is recorded by Landlord, Tenant’s Share of Tax Expenses shall be commensurately revised to reflect any increases or decreases that may result from the impact of such parcel or subdivision map.
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.
Monthly Rent a. Commencing as of the Commencement Date, and continuing thereafter on or before the first day of each calendar month during the term hereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as monthly rent for the Premises, the Monthly Rent specified in Paragraph 2 above. If Tenant’s obligation to pay Monthly Rent hereunder commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, or if the term of this Lease terminates on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, then the Monthly Rent payable for such partial month shall be appropriately prorated on the basis of a thirty (30)-day month. Monthly Rent and the Additional Rent specified in Paragraph 7 shall he paid by Tenant to Landlord, in advance, without deduction, offset, prior notice or demand, in immediately available funds of lawful money of the United States of America, or by good check as described below, to the lockbox location designated by Landlord, or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing. Payments made by check must be drawn either on a California financial institution or on a financial institution that is a member of the federal reserve system. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall pay to Landlord together with Tenant’s execution of this Lease an amount equal to the Monthly Rent payable for the first full calendar month of the Lease term after Tenant’s obligation to pay Monthly Rent shall have commenced hereunder, which amount shall be applied to the Monthly Rent first due and payable hereunder.
b. All amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, or otherwise payable in connection with Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises, in addition to the Monthly Rent hereunder and Additional Rent under Paragraph 7, shall constitute rent owed by Tenant to Landlord hereunder.
c. Any rent not paid by Tenant to Landlord when due shall bear interest from the date due to the date of payment by Tenant at an annual rate of interest (the “Interest Rate”) equal to the lesser of (i) twelve percent (12%) per annum or (ii) the maximum annual interest rate allowed by law on such due date for business loans (not primarily for personal, family or household purposes) not exempt from the usury law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall give Tenant notice of non-payment of rent when due and five (5) days after delivery of such notice to cure such non-payment once in each calendar year before assessing interest in such calendar year pursuant to this Paragraph 5.c. Failure by Tenant to pay rent when due, including any interest accrued under this subparagraph, shall constitute an Event of Default (as defined in Paragraph 25 below) giving rise to all the remedies afforded Landlord under this Lease and at law for nonpayment of rent.
d. No security or guaranty which may now or hereafter be furnished to Landlord for the payment of rent due hereunder or for the performance by Tenant of the other terms of this Lease shall in any way be a bar or defense to any of Landlord’s remedies under this Lease or at law.
e. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease: (i) in no event may any rent under this Lease be based in whole or in part on the income or profits derived from the Premises, except for percentage rent based on gross (not net) receipts or sales; (ii) if the holder of a Superior Interest (as defined in Paragraph 21 below) succeeds to Landlord’s interest in the Lease (“Successor Landlord”) and the Successor Landlord is advised by its counsel that all or any portion of the rent payable under this Lease is or may be deemed to be “unrelated business income” within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code or regulations issued thereunder, such Successor Landlord may, at its option, unilaterally amend the calculation of rent so that none of the rent payable to Landlord under the Lease will constitute “unrelated business income,” but the amendment will not increase Tenant’s payment obligations or other liability under this Lease or reduce the Landlord’s obligations under this Lease and (iii) upon the Successor Landlord’s request, Tenant shall execute any document such holder deems necessary to effect the foregoing amendment to this Lease.
Tenant’s Share The term “Tenant’s Share” shall mean the percentage obtained by dividing Tenant’s Gross Leasable Area by the Building Gross Leasable Area, which as of the Effective Date is the percentage identified in Section G of the Summary.
Landlord’s Costs Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice from Landlord, pay the reasonable costs, expenses, and fees of any architect or engineer employed by Landlord to review any plans and specifications and to supervise and approve any construction, or for any services rendered by such architect or engineer to Landlord as contemplated by any of the provisions of this Agreement, or for any services performed by Landlord's attorneys in connection therewith; provided, however, that Landlord will consult with Tenant and notify Tenant of the estimated amount of such expenses.
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.
Limit on Operating Expenses The Advisor hereby agrees to limit the Fund’s current Operating Expenses to an annual rate, expressed as a percentage of the Fund’s average daily net assets for the month, to the amounts listed in Appendix A (the “Annual Limit”). In the event that the current Operating Expenses of the Fund, as accrued each month, exceed its Annual Limit, the Advisor will pay to the Fund, on a monthly basis, the excess expense within the first ten days of the month following the month in which such Operating Expenses were incurred (each payment, a “Fund Reimbursement Payment”).
Tenant’s Proportionate Share [15%]. Such share is a fraction, the numerator of which is the Rentable Area of the Premises, and the denominator of which is the Rentable Area of the Project, as determined by Landlord from time to time. The Project consists of one building containing a total Rentable Area of 30,000 square feet.
