With respect to Operating Expenses which Landlord allocates to the entire Project, Tenant’s “Proportionate Share” shall be the percentage set forth on the first page of this Lease as Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Project as reasonably adjusted by Landlord in the future for changes in the physical size of the Premises or the Project; and, with respect to Operating Expenses which Landlord allocates only to the Building, Tenant’s “Proportionate Share” shall be the percentage set forth on the first page of this Lease as Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Building as reasonably adjusted by Landlord in the future for changes in the physical size of the Premises or the Building. Landlord may equitably increase Tenant’s Proportionate Share for any item of expense or cost reimbursable by Tenant that relates to a repair, replacement, or service that benefits only the Premises or only a portion of the Project or Building that includes the Premises or that varies with occupancy or use. The estimated Operating Expenses for the Premises set forth on the first page of this Lease are only estimates, and Landlord makes no guaranty or warranty that such estimates will be accurate. Tenant, at its expense, shall have the right upon 10 days prior written notice to Landlord (an “Audit Notice”) to be given only within 120 days after Tenant receives an Actual Statement to audit Landlord’s books and records relating to such Actual Statement with respect to any specific charge or charges disputed in writing by Tenant, subject to the further terms and provisions of this Paragraph: (a) no audit shall be conducted at any time that Tenant is in breach or default of any of the terms, covenants or provisions of this Lease (any required notice having been given and any applicable cure period having expired); (b) no audit shall be conducted on a contingency fee basis; and (c) Tenant shall not audit Landlord’s books and records more than one (1) time for any calendar year. After delivery of the audit notice to Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to inspect Landlord’s books and records in an office of Landlord, or Landlord’s agent, in Fremont, California, during normal business hours, whose payment shall in no way be contingent or based upon the findings of the audit. Tenant shall not remove such books or records from Landlord’s office, but Tenant shall have the right to make copies of the relevant documents at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of the results of such audit within 10 days after receipt by Tenant. The nature and content of any audit are strictly confidential. Tenant, for itself and on behalf of its representatives, shall not disclose the information obtained from the audit to any other tenant in the Project. If as a result of its audit, Tenant determines that the actual Operating Expenses for the period covered by any statement are more than the amount shown on such statement, Tenant shall promptly pay Landlord the deficiency. If as a result of its audit, Tenant determines that the actual Operating Expenses for the period covered by any statement are less than the amount shown on such statement, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of such determination, which notice shall be accompanied by a copy of the results of Tenant’s audit. Upon receipt of such notice and accompanying information, Landlord may object to Tenant’s determination by providing Tenant with written notice of such objection within 30 days following receipt by Landlord of Tenant’s notice and accompanying information. Unless Landlord so objects, Landlord shall credit to Tenant the excess as determined by the results of Tenant’s audit within 30 days following receipt of Tenant’s notice and accompanying information. If, however, Landlord timely objects, Landlord and Tenant shall appoint, by mutual agreement, a neutral independent certified public accountant, whose payment shall in no way be contingent or based upon the findings of the audit, who shall promptly make a written determination of the Operating Expenses for the period in question and shall provide such determination to Landlord and Tenant. The neutral independent certified public accountant’s determination shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant for all purposes. If the neutral independent certified public accountant determines (or if Landlord does not timely object to the results of Tenant’s audit) that Landlord has overstated Tenant’s share of Operating Expenses by [***]% or more during any one accounting year, then Landlord shall pay (i) for the reasonable costs of the audit, not to exceed, however, [***], as well as (ii) the reasonable fees and costs owed to the neutral independent certified public accountant for its services. If the neutral independent certified public accountant determines that Landlord did not overstate Operating Expenses as asserted in Tenant’s audit by [***]% or more during any one accounting year, Tenant shall pay the reasonable fees and costs owed to the neutral independent certified public accountant for its services. Any refund due Tenant shall be payable in any event.
