Operating Costs (a) Tenant shall maintain the Premises in their condition on the Effective Date at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Landlord may inspect the Premises and, if Landlord reasonably determines that Tenant is not maintaining the Premises in their condition on the Effective Date, Landlord may provide Tenant with written notice of any such maintenance concern, and Tenant shall promptly make such repairs. If Tenant fails to complete such repairs within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice, Landlord may undertake such repairs and Tenant shall be obligated to reimburse Landlord for its costs within ten (10) days of receipt of an invoice therefore. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that the exterior walls, foundation and roof of the Premises are in good working order on the Effective Date. Landlord will, at its cost, replace, restore, repair or maintain (as necessary) the roof until the first anniversary of the Commencement Date. Landlord will, at its cost, replace, restore, repair or maintain (as necessary) the exterior walls and foundation of the Premises until the fifth anniversary of the Commencement Date. Tenant shall be fully responsible for the replacement, restoration, repair and maintenance of the roof, exterior walls and foundation of the Premises thereafter. If Landlord fails to commence such repairs within thirty (30) days of receipt of any notice from Tenant, Tenant may undertake such repairs and Landlord shall be obligated to reimburse Tenant for its costs within ten (10) days of receipt of an invoice therefore; provided, however, that Tenant shall have no rights to offset or set off any such amounts against the Rent to be paid hereunder. If Landlord does not reimburse Tenant within ten (10) days from the date of notice, such charge shall bear interest at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum until paid. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained (except for the provisions of paragraph 32 below), if Tenant makes any changes, additions or alterations to the roof of the Premises which involves penetration of the roof (other than those for telecommunications installations so long as the installation contractor has Landlord’s prior written approval which will not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or denied), Landlord’s obligations to replace, restore, repair or maintain the roof shall cease. If Tenant undertakes any structural repairs in the Premises which impact, affect, or alter the walls or foundation of the Premises, Landlord’s obligation to replace, restore, repair or maintain that portion of the exterior walls and foundation of the Premises shall cease as of the date of such action by Tenant. Any Operating Costs that pertain to a period prior to or after the Lease Term will be pro rated between Landlord and Tenant in the proportion of the amount of the Lease Term that falls within the period to which the Operating Costs pertain.
(b) Tenant shall pay all Operating Costs during the Lease Term.
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.
Taxes and Utilities The Landlord will pay for all charges assessed against the Premises during the term of this Lease for real estate taxes, water, heat, and electricity. In the event that the Tenant installs any equipment resulting in a significant increase in the demand for power or cooling, the Tenant shall pay the additional cost of such power and cooling as an additional monthly rental payment to be determined by the Landlord. The Landlord has made arrangements for a uniform rate structure for each tenant on the Property with a communications and data provider (the word “communications” and the word “data” as used in this Lease shall include any and all telephonic or electronic transmissions from one place to another of written materials or oral communications and/or transmission of data). The Tenant shall be responsible for paying directly to the service provider, when due, such phone and data line installation charges and monthly service charges as well as the actual costs of all calls. In the event that the Tenant elects to move from the Premises to other premises within the Property, the Tenant acknowledges that it will be liable for the foregoing installation charge for each and every such move.
TAXES, ASSESSMENTS AND UTILITIES (A) Lessee shall be liable, and agrees to pay the charges for, all public utility services rendered or furnished to the Leased Premises, including heat, water, gas, electricity, sewer, sewage treatment facilities and the like, all personal property taxes, real estate taxes, special assessments, and municipal or government charges, general, ordinary and extraordinary, of every kind and nature whatsoever, which may be levied, imposed, or assessed against the Leased Premises, or upon any improvements thereon, at any time after the Occupancy Date of this Lease and prior to the expiration of the term hereof, or any Renewal Term.
(B) Lessee shall pay all real estate taxes, assessments for public improvements or benefits, and other governmental impositions, duties, and charges of every kind and nature whatsoever which shall or may, during the term of this Lease, be charged, laid, levied, assessed, or imposed upon, or become a lien or liens upon the Leased Premises or any part thereof or upon the rents payable hereunder, except for taxes based solely upon the income of Lessor. Such payments shall be considered as rent paid by Lessee in addition to the Rent defined at Article 4 hereof. Lessee shall be deemed to have complied with the foregoing covenant if payment is permitted without penalty or interest, or before the same shall become a lien upon the Leased Premises. If by law any real estate taxes, assessments for public improvements or benefits, or other governmental impositions, duties, and charges of every kind and nature whatsoever may at the option of the taxpayer be paid in installments (whether or not interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance), Lessee may exercise the option to pay the same in installments and shall pay such installments as they become due during the term of this Lease. Lessee shall not be liable for installments which come due after the termination date of the Lease. If due to a change in the method of taxation, a franchise tax, rental tax, or income or profit tax shall be levied against Lessor in substitution for or in lieu of any tax which would otherwise constitute a real estate tax, such tax shall be deemed a real estate tax for the purposes herein and shall be paid by Lessee.
(C) All real estate taxes, assessments for public improvements or benefits, water rates and charges, sewer rents, and other governmental impositions, duties, and charges which shall become payable for the first and last tax years of the term hereof shall be apportioned pro rata between Lessor and Lessee in accordance with the respective number of months during which each party shall be in possession of the Leased Premises in said respective tax years. For the purposes of this provision, all personal property taxes, real estate taxes and special assessments shall be deemed to have been assessed in the year that the first payment or any installment thereof is due.
(D) Lessee shall have the right to contest or review by legal proceedings or in such other manner as may be legal (which, if instituted, shall be conducted solely at Lessee's own expense) any tax, assessment for public improvements or benefits, or other governmental imposition aforementioned, at any time until the property is subject to levy or execution. All such proceedings shall be begun as soon as reasonably possible after the imposition or assessment of any contested items and shall be prosecuted to final adjudication with reasonable dispatch. In the event of any reduction, cancellation, or discharge, Lessee shall pay the amount that shall be finally levied or assessed against the Leased Premises or adjudicated to be due and payable, and, if there shall be any refund payable by the governmental authority with respect thereto, Lessee shall be entitled to receive and retain the same, subject, however, to apportionment as provided during the first and last years of the term of this Lease.
(E) Lessor, within sixty (60) days after notice to Lessee if Lessee fails to commence such proceedings, may, but shall not be obligated to, contest or review by legal proceedings, or in such other manner as may be legal, and at Lessor's own expense, any tax, assessments for public improvements and benefits, or other governmental imposition aforementioned, which shall not be contested or reviewed, as aforesaid, by Lessee, and unless Lessee shall promptly join with Lessor in such contest or review, Lessor shall be entitled to receive and retain any refund payable by the governmental authority with respect thereto.
(F) Lessor shall not be required to join in any proceeding referred to in this Article, unless in Lessee's reasonable opinion, the provisions of any law, rule, or regulation at the time in effect shall require that such a proceeding be brought by and/or in the name of Lessor, in which event Lessor shall upon written request, join in such proceedings or permit the same to be brought in its name.
Property Taxes Landlord shall pay, prior to delinquency, all general real estate taxes and installments of special assessments coming due during the Lease term on the Leased Premises, and all personal property taxes with respect to Landlord's personal property, if any, on the Leased Premises. Tenant shall be responsible for paying all personal property taxes with respect to Tenant's personal property at the Leased Premises.

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.
