Estimated Payments During each calendar year or partial calendar year after the Base Year, in addition to Monthly Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the first day of each month an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the product of Tenant's Share multiplied by the "Estimated Operating Expenses" (defined below) for such calendar year. "Estimated Operating Expenses" for any calendar year means Landlord's reasonable estimate of Operating Expenses for such calendar year, less the Operating Expenses for the Base Year and shall be subject to revision according to the further provisions of this Section 5.2 and Section 5.3. During any partial calendar year, Estimated Operating Expenses shall be estimated on a full-year basis. During each December in which this Section 5.2 is applicable, or as soon after each December as practicable, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of the Estimated Operating Expenses for the ensuing calendar year. On or before the first day of each month during the ensuing calendar year (or each month of the Term if the Term will expire before the end of the calendar year), Tenant shall pay to Landlord one-twelfth (1/12) of the product of Tenant's Share multiplied by the Estimated Operating Expenses for such calendar year; however, if such written notice is not given in December, Tenant shall continue to make monthly payments on the basis of the prior year's Estimated Operating Expenses until the month after such written notice is given, at which time Tenant shall commence making monthly payments based upon the revised Estimated Operating Expenses. In the month Tenant is first required to make a payment based upon the revised Estimated Operating Expenses, Tenant shall pay to Landlord for each month which has elapsed since December the difference between the amount payable based upon the revised Estimated Operating Expenses and the amount payable based upon the prior year's Estimated Operating Expenses. If at any time or times it reasonably appears to Landlord that the actual Operating Expenses for any calendar year will vary from the Estimated Operating Expenses for such calendar year, Landlord may, by written notice to Tenant, revise the Estimated Operating Expenses for such calendar year, and subsequent payments by Tenant in such calendar year shall be based upon such revised Estimated Operating Expenses.
Statement of Estimated Direct Expenses In addition, Landlord shall give Tenant a yearly expense estimate statement (the “Estimate Statement”) which shall set forth Landlord’s reasonable estimate (the “Estimate”) of what the total amount of Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year shall be and the estimated Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses (the “Estimated Direct Expenses”). The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Estimate Statement for any Expense Year shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect any Estimated Direct Expenses under this Article 4, nor shall Landlord be prohibited from revising any Estimate Statement or Estimated Direct Expenses theretofore delivered to the extent necessary. Thereafter, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due that is at least thirty (30) days thereafter, a fraction of the Estimated Direct Expenses for the then-current Expense Year (reduced by any amounts paid pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 4.4.2). Such fraction shall have as its numerator the number of months which have elapsed in such current Expense Year, including the month of such payment, and twelve (12) as its denominator. Until a new Estimate Statement is furnished (which Landlord shall have the right to deliver to Tenant at any time), Tenant shall pay monthly, with the monthly Base Rent installments, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total Estimated Direct Expenses set forth in the previous Estimate Statement delivered by Landlord to Tenant.
Statement of Actual Direct Expenses and Payment by Tenant Landlord shall give to Tenant within five (5) months following the end of each Expense Year, a statement (the “Statement”) which shall state the Direct Expenses incurred or accrued for such preceding Expense Year, and which shall indicate the amount of Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses. Upon receipt of the Statement for each Expense Year commencing or ending during the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay, with its next installment of Base Rent due that is at least thirty (30) days thereafter, the full amount of Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for such Expense Year, less the amounts, if any, paid during such Expense Year as “Estimated Direct Expenses,” as that term is defined in Section 4.4.2, below, and if Tenant paid more as Estimated Direct Expenses than the actual Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses, Tenant shall receive a credit in the amount of Tenant’s overpayment against Rent next due under this Lease. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish the Statement for any Expense Year shall not prejudice Landlord or Tenant from enforcing its rights under this Article 4. Even though the Lease Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for the Expense Year in which this Lease terminates, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord such amount, and if Tenant paid more as Estimated Direct Expenses than the actual Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses, Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days, deliver a check payable to Tenant in the amount of the overpayment. The provisions of this Section 4.4.1 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term.
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.
Disputed Payments If either Party, in good faith, disputes the accuracy of an invoice from the other hereunder, the disputing Party shall provide to the other Party an explanation of the basis for the dispute and shall pay to the other Party the portion of the invoice not in dispute by the due date (but shall not be required to pay the disputed portion). For the avoidance of doubt, a Party may dispute the accuracy of an invoice from the other hereunder after payment has been made in respect of such invoice. Any amount disputed by a Party pursuant to this Section 11.4 that is later conclusively determined (whether by agreement of the Parties or a final, non-appealable determination of a Governmental Authority with jurisdiction) to be properly due and payable shall be paid to the Party owed payment on or before ten (10) Days after such determination, together with interest accrued at the Interest Rate from the first Day following the date on which payment would have been made if not disputed to but excluding the date payment is made.
Operating Expense Payments Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written estimate of Operating Expenses for each calendar year during the Term (the “Annual Estimate”), which may be revised by Landlord from time to time during such calendar year. During each month of the Term, on the same date that Base Rent is due, Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to 1/12th of Tenant’s Share of the Annual Estimate. Payments for any fractional calendar month shall be prorated.
Estimated Tax Payments Not later than three (3) days prior to each Estimated Tax Installment Date with respect to a taxable period for which a Consolidated Return or a Combined Return will be filed, VMware shall pay to Dell Technologies on behalf of the VMware Group an amount equal to the amount of any estimated VMware Separate Tax Liability that VMware otherwise would have been required to pay to a Taxing Authority on such Estimated Tax Installment Date. If the VMware Separate Tax Liability for such taxable period is less than zero, then Dell Technologies shall pay to VMware an amount equal to the Tax Benefit that the Dell Technologies Group anticipates it will recognize for the entire year as a result of the VMware Separate Tax Liability being less than zero for such taxable period. Not later than seven (7) days prior to each such Estimated Tax Installment Date, Dell Technologies shall provide VMware with a written notice setting forth the amount payable by VMware in respect of such estimated VMware Separate Tax Liability and a calculation of such amount.
Indemnity for Returned Payments If, after receipt of any payment of, or proceeds applied to the payment of, all or any part of the Obligations, the Agent or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person, because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside, determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue and this Agreement shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Agent or such Lender, and the Borrower shall be liable to pay to the Agent, and hereby does indemnify the Agent and the Lenders and hold the Agent and the Lenders harmless for, the amount of such payment or proceeds surrendered. The provisions of this Section 4.9 shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Agent or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds, and any such contrary action so taken shall be without prejudice to the Agent's and the Lenders' rights under this Agreement and shall be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment or application of proceeds having become final and irrevocable. The provisions of this Section 4.9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Exclusions from Operating Expenses Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall Operating Expenses include any of the following: (1) costs for which Landlord is reimbursed, receives a credit or is otherwise compensated (other than tenant reimbursements for Operating Expenses); (2) rent or other amounts payable under any ground lease or master lease, or interest, amortization or other repayment of indebtedness or costs, fees, points or other expenses in connection with any financing or refinancing of all or any part of the Real Property; (3) costs of correcting defects in the initial design or construction of the Building or any expansion thereof or any expenses resulting from inferior or deficient workmanship; (4) costs of repair or restoration required due to casualty damage or condemnation (except for commercially reasonable deductibles); (5) non-refundable reserves for anticipated or unanticipated future expenses; (6) interest or penalties incurred as a result of Landlord’s failure to pay any bill as it shall become due; (7) costs resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its employees, and/or agents; (8) leasing commissions, attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements, and other expenses (including, without limitation, advertising and marketing costs) incurred in connection with leasing, renovating, or improving space for tenants or other occupants or prospective tenants or occupants of the Building, or costs (including, without limitation, permit, license, and inspection fees) incurred in renovating or otherwise improving or decorating, painting or redecorating space for tenants or other occupants or vacant space; (9) costs of any services sold to tenants or other occupants for which Landlord is entitled to be reimbursed by such tenants or other occupants as an additional charge or rental over and above the basic rent and escalations payable under the lease with such tenant or other occupant; (10) allowances for depreciation of improvements in the Common Areas; and (11) so called “capital items” or “capital expenditures” which, pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles, are not fully chargeable to current expenses in the year the expenditure is incurred, except to the extent such capital expenditures are amortized over their useful life (with commercially reasonable interest) in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and only with respect to those that (A) are intended to effect economies in the operation or maintenance of the Real Property, or any portion thereof, or (B) are installed with a reasonable and good faith expectation by Landlord that the same will reduce current or future Operating Expenses, or (C) are intended to enhance the safety or security of the Real Property or its occupants, or (D) are required to comply with present or anticipated conservation programs, or (E) are otherwise includable in Operating Expenses pursuant to the application of sound real estate management principles (including but not limited to, parking lot repair and resurfacing).
