Cap on Controllable Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 4, the aggregate "Controllable Expenses" (as hereinafter defined) included in Operating Expenses in any Expense Year after the Expense Base Year shall not increase by more than [***] on an annual, cumulative and compounded basis, over the actual aggregate Controllable Expenses included in Operating Expenses for any preceding Expense Year (including the Expense Base Year), but with no such limit on the amount of Controllable Expenses which may be included in the Operating Expenses incurred during the Expense Base Year. For purposes of this Section 4.3.5, "Controllable Expenses" shall mean all Operating Expenses except: (i) insurance carried by Landlord with respect to the Real Property and/or the operation thereof; and (ii) costs of capital expenditures, including, without limitation, costs of capital improvements, capital alterations, capital repairs, capital equipment and capital tools. The provisions of this Section 4.3.5 do not apply to Tax Expenses or Utilities Costs.
Cap on Controllable Expenses. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant will be responsible for Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Real Estate Taxes, Insurance Premiums, utilities, janitorial services, snow removal, landscaping and charges assessed against or attributed to the Building pursuant to any applicable declaration of protective covenants (“Uncontrollable Expenses”), without regard to the level of increase in any or all of the above in any year or other period of time. Tenant’s obligation to pay all other Building expenses which are not Uncontrollable Expenses (herein “Controllable Expenses”) shall be limited to a ten percent (10%) per annum increase over the amount the Controllable Expenses for the immediately preceding calendar year would have been had the Controllable Expenses increased at the rate of ten percent (10%) in all previous calendar years beginning with the actual Controllable Expenses for the year ending December 31, 2002.
Cap on Controllable Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord hereby agrees that, for purposes of computing Tenant’s obligations for Expenses, increases in Controllable Expenses (as defined below) during the initial Term shall not exceed six percent (6%) of Controllable Expenses (the “Controllable Expense Cap”), on an average, cumulative basis, subject to the following provisions: (i) “Controllable Expenses” for purposes hereof shall mean all Expenses, except that Landlord may exclude therefrom Utility Costs, Taxes and other costs imposed or established by governmental or regulatory authorities and Insurance, (ii) “average, cumulative basis” for purposes hereof shall mean that, if Controllable Expenses either decrease, or increase by less than the foregoing Controllable Expense Cap amount, in any year or years, then Landlord may apply the difference between Controllable Expenses and the Controllable Expense Cap for such year or years so as to increase the Controllable Expense Cap in another year or years, so long as Controllable Expenses do not exceed the foregoing Controllable Expense Cap on an average, cumulative basis during the initial Term, and (iii) this provision is personal to the Tenant first named in this Lease, and shall no longer apply if Tenant assigns this Lease by operation of law or otherwise or subleases all or a material portion of the Premises. For example, if Controllable Expenses increase by 5% in 2003 and 5% in 2004, they could increase by 8% in 2005 because they would not increase by more than 6% per year on an average, cumulative basis, if Controllable Expenses then increase by a further 8% in 2006, they would be limited to the 6% cap amount for purposes of computing Tenant’s obligations for 2006 in order to keep within the 6% average, cumulative increase. If Controllable Expenses then increase by only 4% in 2007, Landlord may include the extra 2% that Landlord was prevented from using in 2006, so long as Tenant’s obligations for Controllable Expenses do not increase by more than 6% per year on an average, cumulative basis.

As used herein, “Controllable Operating Costs” means all Operating Expenses other than utilities, insurance premiums, snow plowing and Real Estate Taxes.
Cap on Controllable Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Article 4 of the Office Lease, in no event shall "Controllable Expenses" (as that term is defined below) for any Expense Year following the 2016 Expense Year exceed the amount such Controllable Expenses would have been had they increased at a rate of five percent (5%) per annum.

Cap on Controllable Expenses. Notwithstanding the terms and provisions hereof, for each Lease Year subsequent to the first full Lease Year, Tenant’s Percentage Share of Controllable Expenses (as defined below) will not exceed Tenant’s Maximum Share (as defined below) for such Lease Year.
