Audit Rights Tenant, within 365 days after receiving Landlord’s statement of Expenses, may give Landlord written notice (“Review Notice”) that Tenant intends to review Landlord’s records of the Expenses for the calendar year to which the statement applies. Within a reasonable time after receipt of the Review Notice, Landlord shall make all pertinent records available for inspection that are reasonably necessary for Tenant to conduct its review. If any records are maintained at a location other than the management office for the Building, Tenant may either inspect the records at such other location or pay for the reasonable cost of copying and shipping the records. If Tenant retains an agent to review Landlord’s records, the agent must be with a CPA firm licensed to do business in the state or commonwealth where the Property is located. Tenant shall be solely responsible for all costs, expenses and fees incurred for the audit. Within 90 days after the records are made available to Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to give Landlord written notice (an “Objection Notice”) stating in reasonable detail any objection to Landlord’s statement of Expenses for that year. If Tenant fails to give Landlord an Objection Notice within the 90 day period or fails to provide Landlord with a Review Notice within the 365 day period described above, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved Landlord’s statement of Expenses and shall be barred from raising any claims regarding the Expenses for that year. If Tenant provides Landlord with a timely Objection Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith to resolve any issues raised in Tenant’s Objection Notice. If Landlord and Tenant determine that Expenses for the calendar year are less than reported, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a credit against the next installment of Rent in the amount of the overpayment by Tenant. Likewise, if Landlord and Tenant determine that Expenses for the calendar year are greater than reported, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of any underpayment within 30 days. The records obtained by Tenant shall be treated as confidential. In no event shall Tenant be permitted to examine Landlord’s records or to dispute any statement of Expenses unless Tenant has paid and continues to pay all Rent when due. EXHIBIT C
Books and Records; Audits Licensee shall prepare and maintain, in such manner as will allow its accountants to audit same in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, complete and accurate books of account and records (specifically including without limitation the originals or copies of documents supporting entries in the books of account) in which accurate entries will be made covering all transactions, including advertising expenditures, arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Licensee shall keep separate general ledger accounts for such matters that do not include matters or sales related to this Agreement. Licensor and its duly authorized representatives shall have the right, for the duration of this Agreement and for one (1) year thereafter, during regular business hours and upon seven (7) business days advance notice (unless a shorter period is appropriate in the circumstances), to audit said books of account and records and examine all other documents and material in the possession or under the control of Licensee with respect to the subject matter and the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, invoices, credits and shipping documents, and to make copies of any and all of the above. All such books of account, records, documents and materials shall be kept available by Licensee for at least two (2) years after the end of the Annual Period to which they relate. If, as a result of any audit of Licensee's books and records, it is shown that Licensee's payments were less than the amount which should have been paid by an amount equal to *% or more of the payments actually made with respect to sales occurring during the period in question, Licensee shall reimburse Licensor for the cost of such audit and shall make all payments required to be made (along with accrued interest at the rate of *%)) to eliminate any discrepancy revealed by said audit within ten (10) days after Licensor's demand therefore.
Audit Right In the event that within ninety (90) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Statement for the prior calendar year, Tenant reasonably believes that certain of the Operating Expenses charged by Landlord include costs that are not properly included within the term “Operating Expenses” or that Landlord has erred in calculating same, Tenant shall have the right to audit Landlord’s books and records in accordance with this subsection. Tenant shall exercise such audit right by providing Landlord with a written notice of Tenant’s exercise of such audit right within such 90-day period and a statement enumerating reasonably detailed reasons for Tenant’s objections to the Statement issued by Landlord (the “Audit Notice”). Upon the receipt by Landlord of an Audit Notice, Landlord shall instruct its property manager for the Building to meet with a designated employee of Tenant (the “Tenant Representative”) to discuss the objections set forth in the Audit Notice. Landlord shall provide the Tenant Representative with reasonable access to Landlord’s books and records at the property manager’s office relating to Operating Expenses for the calendar year in question in order to attempt to resolve the issues raised by Tenant in the Audit Notice. If, within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Audit Notice, Landlord and Tenant are unable to resolve Tenant’s objections, then not later than fifteen (15) days after the expiration of such 30-day period, Tenant may conduct the audit. Such audit shall be performed by an independent, reputable certified public accounting firm charging for its services on an hourly rate (and not a contingent fee) basis (“Acceptable Accountants”) for the purpose of inspecting and auditing Landlord’s books and records for the Building relating to the objections raised in Tenant’s Audit Notice. Prior to commencing such audit, the Acceptable Accountants and Tenant must enter into a confidentiality agreement whereby the Acceptable Accountants and Tenant agree to keep the results and findings of such audit confidential. Such audit shall be limited to a determination of whether or not Landlord calculated the Operating Expenses in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease. All costs and expenses of any such audit shall be paid by Tenant; provided, however, in the event it is ultimately determined that Landlord has overstated Operating Expenses by more than five percent (5%), then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for Tenant’s reasonable, out-of-pocket cost of the audit (but in no event to exceed the lesser of the amount of the overcharge to Tenant or $2,000.00) plus the amount determined to have been overpaid by Tenant. Any audit performed pursuant to the terms of this subsection shall be conducted only by the Acceptable Accountants at the offices of Landlord’s property manager. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Tenant shall be entitled to exercise its audit right pursuant to this subsection only in strict accordance with the foregoing procedures no more often than once per calendar year and each such audit shall relate only to the calendar year most recently ended. In the event that Tenant fails to notify Landlord within the foregoing 90-day period that Tenant objects to the Statement, then Tenant’s right to audit such year’s Statement shall be null and void.
Records, Audits and Reports At the expense of the Company, the Managers shall maintain records and accounts of all operations and expenditures of the Company.
