Minimum Annual Rent Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the Minimum Annual Rent in equal monthly installments in the amount set forth in Section 1(d) (as increased at the beginning of each lease year as set forth in Section 1(d)), in advance, on the first day of each calendar month during the Term, without notice, demand or setoff, at Landlord's address designated at the beginning of this lease unless Landlord designates otherwise; provided that rent for the first full month shall be paid at the signing of this lease. If the Commencement Date falls on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, the rent shall be apportioned pro rata on a per diem basis for the period from the Commencement Date until the first day of the following calendar month and shall be paid on or before the Commencement Date. As used in this lease, the term "LEASE YEAR" means the period from the Commencement Date through the succeeding 12 full calendar months (including for the first lease year any partial month from the Commencement Date until the first day of the first full calendar month) and each successive 12 month period thereafter during the Term.
Annual Rent LESSEE covenants and agrees to pay as rent to LESSOR the sum of
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.
Basic Annual Rent Commencing on the earlier of (i) sixty (60) days after the Commencement Date (which 60-day period is hereinafter referred to as the “Fit-Up Period”) or (ii) the date Tenant commences operating its business in the Building (such earlier date being herein the “Rent Commencement Date”), Tenant shall pay to Landlord during the Lease Term “Basic Annual Rent” payable in equal monthly installments as set forth below without any deductions, recoupments, or set-offs, and without demand, in advance on the first day of each and every calendar month in each lease year during the Lease Term; provided, however, that if the Lease Term shall commence on a day other than the first day of a month, Tenant shall pay on the Rent Commencement Date for the fractional part of a month at the beginning of the term, a prorated amount of one month’s rent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Tenant occupies only a portion of the Building during the Fit-Up Period, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord, for the balance of the Fit-Up Period only, a percentage of the Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent otherwise payable by Tenant during such period, which percentage shall be equal to the percentage of the Building occupied by Tenant during such period. In any event, upon the expiration of the Fit-Up Period, Tenant shall be obligated to commence payment of Basic Annual Rent and Additional Rent in their full amounts. Subject to adjustment pursuant to Sections 1(d) and 1(e) above and Rider No. 4 below, the Basic Annual Rent for each year of the original term shall be determined by multiplying the Rentable Area of Leased Premises, as hereinafter defined, by the following amounts: 1st lease year $11.50 2nd lease year $11.50 3rd lease year $11.50 4th lease year $12.34 5th lease year $12.34 6th lease year $12.34 7th lease year $13.25 8th lease year $13.25 9th lease year $13.25 10th lease year $13.25 The Basic Annual Rent shall be confirmed in the Lease Commencement Agreement.
Fixed Rent (a) Commencing as of the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Fixed Rent to Landlord, or Landlord’s designee as designated in a written notice to Tenant at such address as Landlord shall from time to time designate by written notice to Tenant. Except as hereinafter provided, the Fixed Rent shall be due and payable in the amounts set forth on Schedule 2 hereto for the respective periods shown on such Schedule 2. Fixed Rent shall be due and payable in advance on the first day of each month (or if such first day is not a business day, the first business day of each month), commencing on the Date of Rent Commencement, during the Term (each such date being referred to herein as a “Due Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, from the Date of Rent Commencement until Tenant is notified otherwise by Landlord and Lender, Fixed Rent shall be paid by wire transfer to the account specified in the rent direction letter from Landlord to Tenant delivered concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Lease.
(b) If the Lease Commencement Date or Rent Commencement Date shall be on any day other than the first day of a calendar month, then all amounts to be paid on such dates shall be prorated on a per diem basis.
(c) If any installment of Fixed Rent is not paid on the respective Due Date, Tenant shall pay Landlord interest on such overdue payment at the Lease Default Rate, accruing from the Due Date of such payment until the same is paid; provided, however, the foregoing obligation to pay the Default Rate shall not be required for the first late payment of Fixed Rent in any calendar year so long as such delay in payment does not continue for longer than a period of ten (10) days. All Fixed Rent and Additional Rent shall be payable in U.S. Dollars.
(d) Commencing as of the Lease Commencement Date, all taxes, costs, expenses, and other amounts which Tenant is required to pay pursuant to this Lease (other than Fixed Rent), together with every fine, penalty, interest and cost which may be added in accordance herewith for non-payment or late payment thereof shall constitute additional rent (“Additional Rent”). All Additional Rent due to Landlord (or its designee) shall be paid directly by Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord gives written notice that payment is due, unless otherwise provided in this Lease, in which case, the Additional Rent shall be paid as otherwise so provided. Unless otherwise provided herein, Additional Rent payable by Tenant to a third (3rd) party (i.e., utility charges, maintenance contracts, supply contracts, vendor contracts, etc.) shall be paid as and when the same shall be due and payable pursuant to Tenant’s agreement or other arrangement with the applicable third (3rd) party. If Tenant shall fail to pay any such Additional Rent or any other sum due hereunder when the same shall become due (after the expiration of the applicable cure periods therefor), Landlord shall have all rights, powers and remedies with respect thereto as are provided herein or by Law in the case of non-payment of any Fixed Rent and shall, except as expressly provided herein, have the right (after the expiration of the applicable cure periods thereof), not sooner than ten (10) days after notice to Tenant (except in the event of an emergency, as reasonably determined by Landlord, in which case prior notice shall not be necessary) of its intent to do so, to pay the same on behalf of Tenant, and Tenant shall repay such amounts to Landlord on demand. Tenant shall pay to Landlord interest at the Lease Default Rate on all overdue Additional Rent and other sums due hereunder, in each case paid by Landlord or Lender on behalf of Tenant, from the date of payment by Landlord or Lender until repaid by Tenant.
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.
