All payments shall be due without billing or demand and without deduction, setoff or counterclaim, except as expressly set forth in this Lease. Tenant shall make payment for any portion of a month at the beginning or end of the Term. All payments shall be payable to Landlord at Landlord’s address, as specified in Section 1.1, or to such other entities at such other places as Landlord may from time to time designate. Without limiting the foregoing, except as expressly set forth in this Lease, Tenant’s obligation so to pay Rent (as hereinafter defined) shall not be discharged or otherwise affected by any law or regulation now or hereafter applicable to the Premises, or any other restriction on Tenant’s use, or any casualty or taking, or any failure by Landlord to perform any covenant contained herein, or any other occurrence; and, except as expressly set forth in this Lease, Tenant waives all rights now or hereafter existing to terminate or cancel this Lease or quit or surrender the Premises or any part thereof, or to assert any defense in the nature of constructive eviction to any action seeking to recover Rent. The foregoing notwithstanding, if Landlord fails for any reason within Landlord’s control to provide any service to be supplied by Landlord under the Lease which is necessary for Tenant’s reasonable use of the Premises (such as HVAC, elevator service, electricity, water, or structural repairs), and Tenant is unable to use the Premises on account of such failure, Tenant shall be entitled to a proportional abatement of Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Charges for Operating Expenses and Taxes based on the portion of the Premises which cannot be used by Tenant. This abatement shall begin on the fourth (4th) consecutive Business Day from Tenant’s written notice to Landlord of the failure. The abatement shall end when the services are restored sufficiently to permit use of the Premises.

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.
Monthly Base Rent With respect to any Payment Date and any Lease Vehicle (other than a Lease Vehicle with respect to which the Disposition Date occurred during such Related Month), the “Monthly Base Rent” with respect to such Lease Vehicle for such Payment Date shall equal the pro rata portion (based upon the number of days in the Related Month with respect to such Payment Date that were included in the Vehicle Term for such Lease Vehicle) of the Depreciation Charge for such Lease Vehicle as of the last day of such Related Month calculated on a 30/360 day basis.
Base Year The period beginning on 1 April of one year and ending on 31 March of the following year.
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.
Annual Base Rent Commencing on the Rent Commencement Date, and thereafter during the Term, Tenant shall pay annual base rent in the amounts set forth immediately below (the "Annual Base Rent"), which amounts shall be payable in equal monthly installments (the "Monthly Base Rent") as set forth immediately below: All installments of Monthly Base Rent shall be payable in advance, on the Rent Commencement Date and the first day of each calendar month thereafter during the Term. If the Rent Commencement Date shall be a day other than the first day of a calendar month, (1) the Annual Base Rent for the first Lease Year shall be an amount equal to the sum of (x) the amount of Monthly Base Rent for the partial month in which the Rent Commencement Date occurs, plus (y) the amount of the Annual Base Rent for the first Lease Year set forth in the rent chart above, and (2) Monthly Base Rent for such partial month shall be the prorated amount of the Monthly Base Rent payable hereunder during the first Lease Year, which proration shall be based upon the actual number of days of such partial month. The prorated Monthly Base Rent for such partial month shall be payable on the first day of the calendar month after the month in which the Rent Commencement Date occurs. As used in this Lease, the term "Lease Year" means (A) with respect to the first Lease Year, the twelve (12) full calendar month period commencing on the Rent Commencement Date (plus the number of days in any partial first month if the Rent Commencement Date is not the first day of the month), except that if the Rent Commencement Date is a date earlier than May 1, 2012, then the first Lease Year shall commence on the Rent Commencement Date and shall expire on April 30, 2013, and (B) with respect to the second Lease Year and each subsequent Lease Year thereafter, each successive period of twelve (12) full calendar months following the expiration of the first Lease Year.
Base Rent Adjustment The Base Rent payable hereunder shall be adjusted upward from time to time in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) Tenant shall pay to Landlord as an adjustment to Rent, an amount equal to the excess (the “Excess”) from time to time of total annual Operating Expenses per square foot of Rentable Area of the Premises, as Grossed-Up, over and above the Expense Stop. The Excess shall be obtained by multiplying (i) the difference between the annual Operating Expense per square foot of Rentable Area in the Premises and the Expense Stop, by (ii) the total Rentable Area of the Premises as set forth in Section 1.15. Such amount shall be paid in advance in monthly installments on the same dates as Base Rent is due and payable hereunder based on Landlord’s notice delivered to Tenant from time to time setting forth Landlord’s good faith estimate of the Operating Expenses for the current calendar year. Landlord shall have the right to adjust such amount no more than once a year to reflect any changes in Landlord’s estimate of Operating Expenses.
(b) By April 1 of each calendar year during the Lease Term, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement (“Actual Statement”) of Landlord’s annual Operating Expenses, as Grossed-Up, for the previous calendar year. If for any calendar year the amounts collected from Tenant for the prior year, as a result of Landlord’s estimate of Operating Expenses, exceeds the amount of the Excess actually due during such prior year, then Landlord shall refund to Tenant any overpayment (or at Landlord’s option, apply such amount against Rent due or to become due hereunder). Likewise, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, any underpayment with respect to the prior year.
(c) In the event of any good faith dispute as to the amount of the Excess as set forth in the statement of actual Operating Expenses, Tenant shall have the right, no more frequently than once per calendar year, after reasonable notice to Landlord and at reasonable times, to inspect and photocopy Landlord’s Operating Expenses records at Landlord’s offices. If, after such inspection and photocopy, Tenant continues, in good faith, to dispute the amount of the Excess as set forth in said statement, Tenant shall be entitled not later than one (1) year following Tenant’s receipt of an Actual Statement to retain a national, independent, certified public accountant who is not contracted on a contingency fee basis and is mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant to audit Landlord’s Operating Expenses records with respect to the calendar year covered by Actual Statement to determine the proper amount of the Excess. Landlord shall be entitled to review the results of such audit promptly after completion of same. If such audit proves that Landlord has overcharged Tenant, then within fifteen (15) days after the results of the audit are made available to Landlord, Landlord shall credit Tenant the amount of such overcharge toward the payments of Base Rent and Additional Rent next coming due under this Lease. If the results of such audit prove that Landlord has undercharged Tenant, then within fifteen (15) days after the results of the audit are made available to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of any such undercharge. Tenant agrees to pay the cost of such audit, provided that Landlord shall reimburse Tenant the amount of such cost if the results of such audit prove that Landlord’s determination of the Excess (as set forth in the Actual Statement) was in error by more than six percent (6%). If Tenant does not request an audit in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c) within one (1) year after Tenant’s receipt of an Actual Statement, such Actual Statement shall be conclusively binding upon Tenant. Landlord shall be required to maintain records of all Operating Expenses for three (3) years following the issuance of the Operating Expense statement for such Operating Expenses. The payment by Tenant of any amounts pursuant to this Article shall not preclude Tenant from questioning the correctness of any such statement.
