• Real Estate Taxes and Assessments Subject to Section 4(c) below, Tenant shall pay all Real Estate Taxes (as hereinafter defined) levied, assessed, accruing, or imposed from and after the Commencement Date, which shall become due and payable during the Term with respect to the Property. If any such Real Estate Taxes may, at the option of the taxpayer, be paid in installments, Tenant may exercise the option to pay the same in installments; provided Tenant pays all costs and charges related to such installment payment method. All Real Estate Taxes that shall be assessed with respect to a taxable year or period beginning on or before and ending after the Commencement Date or beginning on or before and ending after the Termination Date shall be apportioned pro rata between Landlord and Tenant on a per diem basis in accordance with the respective number of days in such taxable year or period during which this Lease is in effect. “Real Estate Taxes” shall mean the ad valorem real estate taxes levied against the Property (and the improvements and fixtures located thereon), betterment assessments, special benefit taxes and special assessments levied or imposed against the Property, taxes levied or assessed on gross rentals payable by Tenant to the extent charged, assessed or imposed upon tenants in general which are based upon the rents payable under this Lease, any impact fees levied or assessed, whether or not billed by the taxing authority as a special benefit tax or a special assessment, all taxes levied or assessed on the Property that are in addition to or in lieu of taxes that are currently so assessed, and penalties and interest related to Real Estate Taxes if the applicable Real Estate Tax bills have been forwarded to Tenant in a timely manner; provided, however, that Real Estate Taxes shall not include any Excluded Taxes. “Excluded Taxes” shall mean, without limitation, Landlord’s income taxes, gift taxes, excess profit taxes, excise taxes, franchise taxes, estate, succession, inheritance and realty transfer taxes resulting from the transfer of any direct or indirect interest in the Property by Landlord unless such taxes replace Real Estate Taxes in the future (except as expressly set forth in the last sentence of this Section 4(a)), and any interest or penalty charges resulting solely from Landlord’s failure to promptly deliver the Real Estate Tax bills to Tenant if the applicable taxing authority has forwarded the tax xxxx to Landlord rather than Tenant. All special benefit taxes and special assessments shall be amortized over the longest time permitted under ordinance and Tenant’s liability for installments of such special benefit taxes and special assessments not yet due shall be paid in full prior to the expiration or termination of this Lease; provided, that the useful life of any such improvements do not extend beyond the expiration of the Term. Tenant shall also pay, directly to the applicable Governmental Authority (as hereinafter defined), any storm water charges, fees and taxes and use and occupancy tax in connection with the Property or any improvements thereon (or in the event Landlord is required by law to collect such tax, Tenant shall pay such use and occupancy tax to Landlord as Rent within thirty (30) days of written demand and Landlord shall remit any amounts so paid to Landlord to the appropriate Governmental Authority in a timely fashion) and deliver evidence of such payment to Tenant within ten (10) days of making such payment or within ten (10) days of receipt of Tenant’s request for such evidence of payment.

• REAL ESTATE TAXES, SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS AND PRORATIONS (a) Because the Entire Property (of which the Property is a part) is subject to a triple net lease (as further set forth in paragraph 11(a)(i), the parties acknowledge that there shall be no need for a real estate tax proration. However, Seller represents that to the best of its knowledge, all real estate taxes and installments of special assessments due and payable in all years prior to the year of Closing have been paid in full. Unpaid real estate taxes and unpaid levied and pending special assessments existing on the date of Closing shall be the responsibility of Buyer and Seller in proportion to their respective Tenant in Common interests, pro-rated, however, to the date of closing for the period prior to closing, which shall be the responsibility of Seller if Tenant shall not pay the same. Seller and Buyer shall likewise pay all taxes due and payable in the year after Closing and any unpaid installments of special assessments payable therewith and thereafter, if such unpaid levied and pending special assessments and real estate taxes are not paid by any tenant of the Entire Property. (b) All income and all operating expenses from the Entire Property shall be prorated between the parties and adjusted by them as of the date of Closing. Seller shall be entitled to all income earned and shall be responsible for all expenses incurred prior to the date of Closing, and Buyer shall be entitled to its proportionate share of all income earned and shall be responsible for its proportionate share of all operating expenses of the Entire Property incurred on and after the date of closing.

• Real Estate Taxes and Special Assessments The 2022 calendar year real estate taxes due and payable in 2023 shall be paid by Seller.

• TENANT'S TAXES Tenant's Taxes" shall mean (a) all taxes, assessments, license fees and other governmental charges or impositions levied or assessed against or with respect to Tenant's personal property or Trade Fixtures in the Premises, whether any such imposition is levied directly against Tenant or levied against Landlord or the Property, (b) all rental, excise, sales or transaction privilege taxes arising out of this Lease (excluding, however, state and federal personal or corporate income taxes measured by the income of Landlord from all sources) imposed by any taxing authority upon Landlord or upon Landlord's receipt of any rent payable by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease ("Rental Tax"), and (c) any increase in Taxes attributable to inclusion of a value placed on Tenant's personal property, Trade Fixtures or Alterations. Tenant shall pay any Rental Tax to Landlord in addition to and at the same time as Base Rent is payable under this Lease, and shall pay all other Tenant's Taxes before delinquency (and, at Landlord's request, shall furnish Landlord satisfactory evidence thereof). If Landlord pays Tenant's Taxes or any portion thereof, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for the amount of such payment, together with interest at the Interest Rate from the date of Landlord's payment to the date of Tenant's reimbursement.

• Real Property Taxes Taxes, assessments and charges now or hereafter levied or assessed upon, or with respect to, the Project, or any personal property of Landlord used in the operation thereof or located therein, or Landlord's interest in the Project or such personal property, by any federal, state or local entity, including: (i) all real property taxes and general and special assessments; (ii) charges, fees or assessments for transit, housing, day care, open space, art, police, fire or other governmental services or benefits to the Project, including assessments, taxes, fees, levies and charges imposed by governmental agencies for such purposes as street, sidewalk, road, utility construction and maintenance, refuse removal and for other governmental services; (iii) service payments in lieu of taxes; (iv) any tax, fee or excise on the use or occupancy of any part of the Project, or on rent for space in the Project; (v) any other tax, fee or excise, however described, that may be levied or assessed as a substitute for, or as an addition to, in whole or in part, any other Real Property Taxes; and (vi) reasonable consultants' and attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in connection with proceedings to contest, determine or reduce Real Property Taxes. Real Property Taxes do not include: (A) franchise, transfer, inheritance or capital stock taxes, or income taxes measured by the net income of Landlord from all sources, unless any such taxes are levied or assessed against Landlord as a substitute for, in whole or in part, any Real Property Tax; (B) Impositions and all similar amounts payable by tenants of the Project under their leases; and (C) penalties, fines, interest or charges due for late payment of Real Property Taxes by Landlord. If any Real Property Taxes are payable, or may at the option of the taxpayer be paid, in installments, such Real Property Taxes shall, together with any interest that would otherwise be payable with such installment, be deemed to have been paid in installments, amortized over the maximum time period allowed by applicable law. If the tax statement from a taxing authority does not allocate Real Property Taxes to the Building, Landlord shall make the determination of the proper allocation of such Real Property Taxes based, to the extent possible, upon records of the taxing authority and, if not so available, then on an equitable basis. Real Property Taxes also do not include any increases in the taxes, assessments, charges, excises and levies assessed against the Project due solely to the construction or installation of tenant improvements or other alterations by tenants of the Project other than Tenant and any other tenants or occupants of the Building; provided, however, that if any Real Property Taxes are imposed or increased due to the construction or installation of tenant improvements or other alterations in the Building, such Real Property Taxes shall be equitably prorated in Landlord's reasonable judgment between Tenant and any other tenants of the Building.

• Real Estate Taxes If with respect to any full Tax Year or fraction of a Tax Year falling within the Term, Landlord’s Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises as hereinafter defined for a full Tax Year exceed Base Taxes Allocable to the Premises, or for any such fraction of a Tax Year exceed the corresponding fraction of Base Taxes Allocable to the Premises then, on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following receipt by Tenant of the certified statement referred to below in this Section 2.7, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, the amount of such excess. Not later than ninety (90) days after Landlord’s Tax Expenses Allocable to the Premises are determined for the first such Tax Year or fraction thereof and for each succeeding Tax Year or fraction thereof during the Term, Landlord shall render Tenant a statement in reasonable detail certified by a representative of Landlord showing for the preceding year or fraction thereof, as the case may be, real estate taxes on the Building and the Site and abatements and refunds of any taxes and assessments. Expenditures for legal fees and for other expenses incurred in obtaining the tax refund or abatement may be charged against the tax refund or abatement before the adjustments are made for the Tax Year. Said statement to be rendered to Tenant shall also show for the preceding year or fraction thereof as the case may be the amounts of real estate taxes already paid by Tenant as Additional Rent, and the amount of real estate taxes remaining due from, or overpaid by, Tenant for the year or other period covered by the statement. Within thirty (30) days after the date of delivery of the foregoing statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the balance of the amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to the above provisions of this Section 2.7 with respect to the preceding year or fraction thereof, or Landlord shall credit any amounts due from it to Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.7 against (i) monthly installments of fixed rent next thereafter coming due or (ii) any sums then due from Tenant to Landlord under this Lease (or refund such portion of the over-payment as aforesaid if the Term has ended and Tenant has no further obligation to Landlord). To the extent permitted by applicable law and provided there shall not then be existing an Event of Default, there is a minimum of twelve (12) full calendar months remaining in the Term (as it may have been extended) and Tenant has given prior written notice to Landlord, Tenant shall have the right to contest the amount or validity, in whole or in part, of any of the real estate taxes by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted in good faith; provided, however, that as a continuing condition to such right, Tenant shall be required to make those payments respecting real state taxes as and at the times required by law notwithstanding any such contest. Tenant further agrees that each such contest shall be promptly and diligently prosecuted in good faith to a final conclusion except only as provided herein. Landlord agrees to cooperate with Tenant in any such proceeding provided that the same shall be at the sole cost and expense of Tenant. Tenant will pay and save Landlord harmless against any and all losses, judgments, decrees and costs incurred by Landlord (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) relating to the Premises and the Term hereof and being the direct or proximate result of Tenant’s initiation of such contest and will, promptly after the final settlement, compromise or determination of such contest, fully pay and discharge Tenant’s obligations under this Section 2.7, together with all penalties, fines, interests, costs and expenses. Further, any such contest by Tenant shall not be discontinued unless and until Tenant has given to Landlord written notice of Tenant’s intent to so discontinue and if Landlord shall not by notice to Tenant (the “Assumption Notice”) within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s notice elect to assume, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, the continued prosecution and conduct of such contest. In the event Landlord shall give such Assumption Notice, Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in all respects as may be necessary for Landlord’s continuation of such contest, but Tenant shall have no other obligation for the prosecution and conduct of such contest. In addition, payments by Tenant on account of increases in real estate taxes anticipated for the then current year shall be made monthly at the time and in the fashion herein provided for the payment of fixed rent. The amount so to be paid to Landlord shall be an amount reasonably estimated by Landlord to be sufficient to provide Landlord, in the aggregate, a sum equal to Tenant’s share of such increases, at least ten (10) days before the day on which such payments by Landlord would become delinquent. To the extent that real estate taxes shall be payable to the taxing authority in installments with respect to periods less than a Tax Year, the foregoing statement shall be rendered and payments made on account of such installments. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, no decrease in Landlord’s Tax Expenses with respect to any Tax Year shall result in a reduction of the amount otherwise payable by Tenant if and to the extent said decrease is attributable to vacancies in the Building or partial completion of the Building rather than to any other causes. Terms used herein are defined as follows:

• Taxes and Assessments As of the date of origination and, to the Mortgage Loan Seller’s knowledge, as of the Cut-off Date, all taxes, governmental assessments and other outstanding governmental charges (including, without limitation, water and sewage charges) due with respect to the Mortgaged Property (excluding any related personal property) securing a Mortgage Loan that is or could become a lien on the related Mortgaged Property that became due and owing prior to the Cut-off Date with respect to each related Mortgaged Property have been paid, or, if the appropriate amount of such taxes or charges is being appealed or is otherwise in dispute, the unpaid taxes or charges are covered by an escrow of funds or other security sufficient to pay such tax or charge and reasonably estimated interest and penalties, if any, thereon. For purposes of this representation and warranty, any such taxes, assessments and other charges shall not be considered due and payable until the date on which interest and/or penalties would be payable thereon.

• Real Estate and Personal Property Taxes A. Except as specifically set forth in Section 4.07.B below, all real estate and personal property taxes, levies, assessments (including special assessments (regardless of when due or whether they are paid as a lump sum or in installments over time) imposed because of facilities that are constructed by or on behalf of the assessing jurisdiction (for example, roads, sidewalks, sewers, culverts, etc.) which directly benefit the Hotel (regardless of whether or not they also benefit other buildings)), “Impact Fees” (regardless of when due or whether they are paid as a lump sum or in installments over time) which are required of Owner as a condition to the issuance of zoning variances or building permits, and similar charges on or relating to the Hotel (collectively, “Impositions”) during the Term shall be paid by Manager from Gross Revenues, before any fine, penalty, or interest is added thereto or lien placed upon the Hotel or upon this Agreement, unless payment thereof is in good faith being contested and enforcement thereof is stayed. Any such payments shall be Deductions in determining Operating Profit. Owner shall, within five (5) days after receipt, furnish Manager with copies of official tax bills and assessments which it may receive with respect to the Hotel. Either Landlord or Owner may, and at Owner’s request Manager shall, initiate proceedings to contest any negotiations or proceedings with respect to any Imposition, and all reasonable costs of any such contest shall be paid from Gross Revenues and shall be a Deduction in determining Operating Profit. Manager shall, as part of its contest or negotiation of any Imposition, be entitled, on Owner’s behalf, to waive any applicable statute of limitations in order to avoid paying the Imposition during the pendency of any proceedings or negotiations with applicable authorities. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, at Owner’s option (i) Manager shall establish an escrow account in the name of Owner in a bank or banks designated by Manager with the concurrence of Owner and shall deposit monthly into such account from Gross Revenues an amount that Manager reasonably estimates shall be sufficient to pay the Impositions, in which case Manager shall pay the Impositions from funds in the escrow account as and when the Impositions become due (and Owner shall promptly deposit into the escrow account any deficiency if the estimated monthly payments are not sufficient to pay all of the Impositions) or (ii) the amounts that would otherwise be deposited into such escrow account shall be included in the Operating Profit, not deducted from Gross Revenues and shall be distributed in cash to Owner along with the remainder of the Owner’s Priority. If Owner elects to retain such amounts pursuant to clause (ii) above, Manager shall accrue such amounts as a reserve on the accounting records of the Hotel, and Owner shall fund the same as and when the Impositions become due, but such accrued and unfunded amounts shall be deducted from Gross Revenues for purposes of calculating the Incentive Management Fee. In addition, if any Mortgagee requires the establishment of an escrow account with respect to the Impositions, Manager shall comply with such requirements.
