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.
Base Rent Adjustments Base Rent shall be increased on each annual anniversary of the first day of the first full month during the Term of this Lease (each an “Adjustment Date”) by multiplying the Base Rent payable immediately before such Adjustment Date by the Rent Adjustment Percentage and adding the resulting amount to the Base Rent payable immediately before such Adjustment Date. Base Rent, as so adjusted, shall thereafter be due as provided herein. Base Rent adjustments for any fractional calendar month shall be prorated.
Rent Adjustments 4.1 For the purpose of this Article 4, the following terms are defined as follows:
Rent Adjustment Basic Assumptions Incorrect. Except to the extent that doing so would cause Lessor to recognize income other than "rents from real property" as defined in Section 856(d) of the Code, notwithstanding anything herein (other than Article 19) to the contrary, if (i) the facts and circumstances underlying the documented, basic assumptions upon which both Lessor and Lessee have relied in determining the Base Rent, the Suite Revenue Breakpoint, and the Percentage Rent payable hereunder become materially incorrect solely as a result of (A) a decision to re-brand the Hotel that is made after the Commencement Date, (B) the scope or cost of substantial renovations or other capital improvements to the Hotel, or (C) the implementation of any other hotel repositioning strategies (that were not planned as of the Commencement Date) resulting in significant disruption of the operations of the Hotel (collectively, a "Repositioning"), and (ii) Lessor and Lessee so agree in writing, then Lessor and Lessee shall, in good faith, negotiate modifications to the Base Rent, Suite Revenue Breakpoint and Percentage Rent to adjust (i.e., increase, decrease or reallocate among revenue categories) such Base Rent, Suite Revenue Breakpoint and Percentage Rent to reflect such change in basic assumptions for the affected periods, using the same methodology and other basic assumptions as were initially utilized in determining the Base Rent, Suite Revenue Breakpoint and Percentage Rent hereunder. If Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree, within thirty (30) days after the date of written certification from either Lessee or Lessor to the other party that a good faith dispute exists, as to the existence of the occurrence of a Repositioning or the adjustments to be made to the amounts or percentages for the Base Rent, Suite Revenue Breakpoint and Percentage Rent hereunder as a result of any repositioning, the dispute may be submitted by either party to arbitration under Section 25.2 hereof for resolution (during which period Lessee shall continue to pay Base Rent and Percentage Rent as required under Section 3.1 of this Lease); provided, however, that for purposes of applying the procedures in Section 25.3 to such arbitration, the target deadline therein for concluding the arbitration shall be shortened from ninety (90) days to thirty (30) days.
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.
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.
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.
Operating Expenses Unless modified in accordance with Exhibit D, Landlord maintenance addendum, attached hereto, it is the intention of the parties and they hereby agree that this shall be a triple net Lease, and the Landlord shall have no obligation to provide any services, perform any acts or pay any expenses, charges, obligations or costs of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Premises, and Tenant hereby agrees to pay one hundred percent (100%) of any and all Operating Expenses as hereafter defined for the entire term of the Lease and any extensions thereof in accordance with specific provisions hereinafter set forth. The term Operating expenses shall include all costs to Landlord of operating and maintaining the Building and related parking areas, and shall include, without limitation, real estate and personal property taxes and assessments, management fee, heating, electricity, water, waste disposal, sewage, operating materials and supplies, service agreements and charges, lawn care, snow removal, restriping, repairs, repaving, cleaning and custodial, security, insurance, the cost of contesting the validity or applicability of any governmental acts which may affect operating expenses, and all other direct operating costs of operating and maintaining the Building and related parking areas, unless expressly excluded from operating expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, operating costs (and Tenant's obligations in relation thereto) shall not include (i) any expense chargeable to a capital account or capital improvement, ground leases; principal or interest payments on any mortgage or deed of trust on the premises; (ii) any amount for which Landlord is reimbursed through insurance, by third persons, or directly by other tenants of the premises, (iii) repair costs occasioned by fire, windstorm or other casualty, (iv) any construction, repair or maintenance expenses or obligations that are the sole responsibility of Landlord (not to be reimbursed by Tenant), (v) leasing commissions and other expenses incurred in connection with leasing any other area located on the premises to any other party, (vi) any expense representing an amount paid to an affiliate or subsidiary of Landlord which is in excess of the amount which would be paid in the absence of such relationship, and (vii) costs of items and services for which Tenant reimburses Landlord or pays third persons directly.
Percentage Rent Tenant shall (i) not later than the tenth (10th) day after the close of each calendar month, deliver to Landlord at the Center office a written statement certified under oath by Tenant or an officer of Tenant, showing Gross Sales and Adjusted Gross Sales made in such calendar month; and (ii) not later than thirty (30) days after the end of each Lease Year or Partial Lease Year, deliver to Landlord at the Center office a statement of Gross Sales and Adjusted Gross Sales for such Lease Year or Partial Lease Year the correctness of which is certified to by Tenant or an officer of Tenant. If Tenant fails to prepare and deliver any statement of Gross Sales and Adjusted Gross Sales required hereunder, within the time or times specified above, then Landlord shall have the right, in addition to the other rights and remedies set forth in this Lease, (a) to collect from Tenant a sum which shall be $250.00 which shall be deemed liquidated damages for administrative and overhead expenses resulting from such failure, and (b) to estimate Tenant’s Adjusted Gross Sales for any non-reported period and bill Tenant’s Percentage Rent accordingly. Landlord reserves the right, at Xxxxxxxx’s option, to adjust Percentage Rent xxxxxxxx when actual Adjusted Gross Sales reports are received. Percentage Rent shall become due and payable in each Lease Year on the fifteenth (15th) day of the month immediately following the month during which Adjusted Gross Sales exceed the Sales Breakpoint for such Lease Year, and thereafter shall be paid monthly on all additional Adjusted Gross Sales made during the remainder of such Lease Year, such payments to be made concurrently with the submission by Tenant to Landlord of the written statement of monthly Adjusted Gross Sales as provided for herein. Tenant will preserve for at least three (3) years at Tenant’s notice address all original books and records disclosing information pertaining to Gross Sales and Adjusted Gross Sales and such other information respecting Gross Sales and Adjusted Gross Sales as Landlord requires, including, but not limited to, cash register tapes, sales slips, sales checks, gross income and sales tax returns, bank deposit records, sales journals and other supporting data including itemized records of permitted exclusions. Landlord and its agents shall have the right during business hours to examine and audit such books and records preserved by Xxxxxx. If such examination or audit discloses a liability for Percentage Rent three percent (3%) or more in excess of the Percentage Rent paid by Tenant for any period and at least $500.00 of Percentage Rent is owed as the result of such audit, or if Tenant’s Gross Sales and Adjusted Gross Sales cannot be verified due to the insufficiency or inadequacy of Tenant’s records, or if Tenant shall have failed to furnish Landlord any monthly statement of Gross Sales and Adjusted Gross Sales during any Lease Year, Tenant shall promptly pay Landlord the cost of said audit. Tenant shall, in any event, pay to Landlord the amount of any deficiency in rents which is disclosed by such audit. If such examination or audit discloses an overpayment of Percentage Rent, then the excess, less the cost of such examination or audit, shall be credited to Xxxxxx’s account. Tenant’s obligation to preserve all original books and records shall survive the expiration of the Lease Term or the earlier termination of this Lease.
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.
