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.
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 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:
Base Rental 4.1 Tenant shall pay to Landlord annual rent during the Initial Term of this Lease in the amount of Thirty-Five Thousand One Hundred and Sixty Dollars and 00/100 Dollars ($35,160) ("Base Rent"), which shall be paid in equal consecutive monthly installments of One Thousand Four Hundred and Sixty-Five Dollars and 00/100 Dollars ($1,465.00) and a prorated portion for any partial calendar month. Installments of rent shall be paid on the first day of each calendar month in advance.
4.2 In the event that Tenant exercises its right to a Renewal Term, the Base Rent payable during the Renewal Term (and the Base Building Expense figure), as specified in Section 4.1 for Base Rent and Section 5.1 for Base Building Expense, shall be adjusted as of the first day of each Renewal Term (the "First Adjustment Date") by the percentage increase in the Consumer's Price Index for all Urban Consumers specified for All Items, All Cities (1982-1984=100) and issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor, or any replacement thereof (the "Index"). The increased annual Base Rent shall be equal to the annual Base Rent payable for the year preceding the Adjustment Date multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Index for the second calendar month immediately preceding the Adjustment Date and the denominator is the Index for the second calendar month one year preceding. In no event shall the Base Rent be decreased. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the increase in Base Rent for any one Renewal Term shall not be greater than five percent (5%).
4.3 All rent shall be paid to Landlord at the address set forth herein or at such other address as Landlord may designate in writing, without any prior demand therefore and without any deduction or offset whatsoever.
4.4 In the event that Tenant shall fail to pay any amount under this Lease when the same shall be due, such amount shall be subject to a one-time late charge of five cents (.05(cent)) for each One Dollar ($1.00) not paid when due and thereafter shall be subject to a service charge until such amount is paid at the lesser of the rate of two percent (2%) per month or the highest rate permitted by law.
RENTAL ADJUSTMENT (a) Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rental a rental adjustment (the "Rental Adjustment") which shall be determined as of the first anniversary of the Rental Commencement Date and as of each January 1 thereafter during the Lease Term in the manner hereinafter provided (each such date being hereinafter in this Article 7 called an "Adjustment Date", and each period of time from any given Adjustment Date through the day before the next succeeding Adjustment Date being herein called an "Adjustment Period"). Each such Rental Adjustment shall be payable in monthly installments in advance on the first day of every such calendar month during the Adjustment Period for which such Rental Adjustment was determined. A prorated monthly installment, based on the number of days in the partial month, shall be paid for any fraction of a month if the Rental Commencement Date falls on any day other than the first day of a calendar month, or if the Lease Term is terminated or expires on any other day than the last day of a calendar month. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to notify Tenant in writing of the monthly amount of the Rental Adjustment for each Adjustment Period at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which the first installment of such Rental Adjustment is due and payable, or as soon thereafter as is practicable. Failure by Landlord to notify Tenant of the monthly amount of such Rental Adjustment shall not prejudice Landlord's right to collect the full amount of such Rental Adjustment, nor shall Landlord be deemed to have forfeited or surrendered its rights to collect such Rental Adjustment which may have become due pursuant to this Article 7, and Tenant agrees to pay within thirty (30) days after notice all accrued but unpaid Rental Adjustment.
(b) For each Adjustment Period, each monthly installment of the Rental Adjustment shall be an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the product of: (i) the annual Base Rental set forth in Article 6 hereof, multiplied by (ii) .50, multiplied by (iii) the "percentage increase" (as hereinafter defined), if any, in the "index" (as hereinafter defined), as such percentage increase is determined with respect to the Adjustment Date beginning such Adjustment Period.
(c) For purposes of Articles 7(a) and (b) above, the "percentage increase," if any, in the Index for each Adjustment Date shall mean and equal the quotient (expressed as a decimal) determined by dividing (i) the difference obtained by subtracting the Index for the calendar month in which the Rental Commencement Date falls from the Index for the calendar month of October immediately preceding the Adjustment Date in question [if the difference so obtained is negative, then this factor (i) shall be deemed to be zero], by (ii) the Index for the calendar month in which the Rental Commencement Date falls.
(d) The term "Index" as used in Articles 7(b) and (c) above shall mean the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, U.S. City Average, All Items (1982-84 = 100), published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor. If the Bureau of Labor Statistics should discontinue the publication of the Index, or publish the same less frequently, or alter the same in some manner, then Landlord shall adopt a substitute Index or substitute procedure which reasonably reflects and monitors consumer prices.
Payment Adjustments Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 3, any payment pursuant to this Article: (a) shall be subject to (i) any delay in payment or reduction required by Section 5.2 hereof, and (b) shall be subject to a set-off equal to the gross amount of any current or deferred compensation, including wages, salary, fees, benefits, tangible or intangible property or ownership rights or interests or other property rights, received by Executive or which he becomes entitled to receive in the future as remuneration for services to any Person, business or other entity as a result of, or in exchange for, any work or services performed, or any intellectual property conveyed by Executive, during the Restricted Period (“Remuneration”), provided that the foregoing provision shall in no way limit or impair Executive’s obligations or the Bank’s rights under Article 3 or Article 4 of this Agreement. Executive understands and agrees that the Bank’s set-off rights will accrue, and any set-off pursuant to this provision will be applied to any non-compete payments due (or previously paid or accrued), after the earlier of Executive’s receipt or accrual of Remuneration (the Set-off Date), and if Executive is not entitled to further payments under this Agreement, Executive agrees to refund the setoff amount in full to the Bank within fourteen (14 days) of Executive’s Certification reporting such remuneration or the Set-off Date, whichever is later.
Subsequent Adjustments In the event that the Assuming Institution or the Receiver discovers any errors or omissions as contemplated by Section 8.2 or any error with respect to the payment made under Section 8.3 after the Settlement Date, the Assuming Institution and the Receiver agree to promptly correct any such errors or omissions, make any payments and effect any transfers or assumptions as may be necessary to reflect any such correction plus interest as provided in Section 8.4.
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 Purchaser will receive a credit at Closing for the prorated amount of all base or fixed rent payable pursuant to the Leases and all Additional Rents (collectively, “Rent”) previously paid to, or collected by, Seller and attributable to any period following the Closing Date. Rents are “Delinquent” when they were due prior to the Closing Date, and payment thereof has not been made on or before the Closing Date. Delinquent Rent shall not be prorated at Closing. All Rent collected by Purchaser or Seller from each tenant from and after Closing will be applied as follows: (i) first, to Delinquent Rent owed for the month in which the Closing Date occurs (the “Closing Month”), (ii) second, to any accrued Rents owing to Purchaser, and (iii) third, to Delinquent Rents owing to Seller for the period prior to Closing. Any Rent collected by Purchaser and due Seller will be promptly remitted to Seller. Any Rent collected by Seller and due Purchaser shall be promptly remitted to Purchaser. Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to collect Delinquent Rents owed to Seller in the ordinary course of its business; provided, however, that Seller hereby retains the right to pursue any tenant under the Leases for any Rent and other sums due Seller for period attributable to Seller’s ownership of the Property; and provided further, however, Seller (i) shall be required to notify Purchaser in writing of Seller’s intention to commence or pursue any legal proceedings; and (ii) shall not be permitted to commence or pursue any legal proceedings against any tenant seeking eviction of such tenant or the termination of the underlying Lease. “Additional Rents” shall mean any and all amounts due from tenants for operating expenses, common area maintenance charges, taxes, shared utility charges, management fees, insurance costs, other comparable expenses and pass-through charges and any other tenant charges. The provisions of this Section 14.5 shall survive the Closing and the delivery of any conveyance documentation.
