Allocation of Direct Expenses The parties acknowledge that the Building is a part of a multi-building project and that the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Project (i.e., the Direct Expenses) should be shared between the Building and the other buildings in the Project. Accordingly, as set forth in Section 4.2 above, Direct Expenses (which consist of Operating Expenses and Tax Expenses) are determined annually for the Project as a whole, and a portion of the Direct Expenses, which portion shall be determined by Landlord on an equitable basis, shall be allocated to the Building (as opposed to other buildings in the Project). Such portion of Direct Expenses allocated to the Building shall include all Direct Expenses attributable solely to the Building and a pro rata portion of the Direct Expenses attributable to the Project as a whole, and shall not include Direct Expenses attributable solely to other buildings in the Project.
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.
Common Area Charges In addition to the rental and other charges herein provided to be paid by Lessee to Lessor, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as additional rent and as Lessee’s share of the cost of maintaining, operating, repairing and managing the Project, Lessee’s proportionate share (as defined in Section 12) of the Total Common Area Charges (as hereinafter defined) for any calendar year during the Term (the “CAM Amount”). Lessee shall pay Lessor in advance its monthly estimated proportionate share (as described in Section 12) of the CAM Amount, together with all applicable rental taxes due thereon, within ten (10) days after receipt of an invoice from Lessor setting forth Lessor’s estimate of such amount. Within ninety (90) days following the end of each calendar year during the Term or as soon thereafter as is Please Initial: Lessor ¨ Lessee ¨ reasonably possible, Lessor shall furnish Lessee with a statement of all Total Common Area Charges for the Project for the previous calendar year indicating the computation of Lessee’s proportionate share of the CAM Amount for such calendar year and the payments made by Lessee during such calendar year. If Lessee’s aggregate estimated monthly payments actually paid to Lessor for the calendar year are greater than Lessee’s proportionate share of the CAM Amount for such calendar year, Lessor shall promptly pay the excess to Lessee or shall apply the excess to any past due amounts owing from Lessee to Lessor; if the payments made are less than Lessee’s proportionate share, Lessee shall pay the difference to Lessor within ten (10) days of its receipt of such statement. Total Common Area Charges shall consist of all costs and expenses of every type associated with the management, repair, maintenance, and insuring of the Common Areas including, without limitation, costs and expenses for the following: gardening and landscaping; utilities, water and sewer charges; premiums for liability, property damage and casualty insurance and xxxxxxx’x compensation insurance; all personal property taxes levied on or attributable to personal property used in connection with the Common Areas; straight line depreciation on personal property owned by Lessor which is consumed in the operation or maintenance of the Common Areas; rental or lease payments paid by Lessor for rented or leased personal property used in the operation or maintenance of Common Areas; fees for required licenses and permits; refuse disposal charges; repairing, resurfacing, repaving, maintaining, painting, lighting, cleaning, refuse removal, security and similar items; repair and maintenance of exterior roofs and reserves for roof replacement and exterior painting of the Project and other appropriate reserves; and fees paid to property managers.
