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.
Payment of Additional Rent In addition to the Minimum Annual Rent specified in this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as "Additional Rent" for the Leased Premises, in each calendar year or partial calendar year, during the Lease Term, an amount equal to the Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes for such calendar year or partial calendar year. In the case of the calendar year of the Commencement Date, Landlord shall provide such notice prior to the Commencement Date. The Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes shall be estimated annually by Landlord, and written notice thereof shall be given to Tenant prior to the beginning of each calendar year. Tenant shall pay to Landlord each month, at the same time the Monthly Rental Installment is due, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the estimated Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes. If the cost of utility, janitorial or other services increase during a calendar year, Landlord may increase the estimated Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes during such year by giving Tenant written notice to that effect, and thereafter Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in each of the remaining months of such year, an amount equal to the amount of such increase in the estimated Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes for the remainder of the year divided by the number of months remaining in such year. Within a reasonable time after the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall prepare and deliver to Tenant a statement showing the actual Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the aforementioned statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, or Landlord shall credit against the next rent payment or payments due from Tenant, as the case may be, the difference between the actual Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes for the preceding calendar year and the estimated amount paid by Tenant to Landlord during such year. In addition, Tenant shall pay, before delinquency, any and all Real Estate Taxes as defined in Section 3.02.D, above, directly to the appropriate taxing authority. If Tenant fails for any reason to pay the Real Estate Taxes when same is due and payable, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay the Real Estate Taxes directly to the taxing authority and Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord for the cost thereof. Such amount shall accrue interest from the date Landlord pays such amount, pursuant to Section 3.04, below, shall include any penalties, late fees and any interest assessed due to such delinquency. Tenant or its accountants shall have the right to inspect, at reasonable time and in a reasonable manner, during the one hundred twenty (120) day period following the delivery of Landlord's statement of the actual amount of the Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes, such of Landlord's books of account and records as pertain to and contain information concerning such costs and expenses for the Building for the prior calendar year in order to verify the amounts thereof. In the event the first audit discloses (i) errors made during the prior calendar year which, when totaled, indicate that the sum overcharged to and paid by Tenant, exceeds five percent (5%) of the Annual Rental Adjustment excluding Real Estate Taxes plus Landlord's Share of Operating Expenses (the "Total Expenses"), the audit shall be at the expense of Landlord, not to exceed Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00), or (ii) no errors or an error which equals or is less than five percent (5%) of the Total Expenses, the audit shall be at the expense of Tenant. For each subsequent audit, where the audit discloses errors exceeding five percent (5%) of the Total Expenses, Landlord shall pay for such audit and, if the audit discloses errors equal to or less than five percent (5%) of the Total Expenses, Tenant shall pay the costs of the audit. If Landlord spends more than eight (8) hours to accommodate Tenant's right to audit hereunder, Tenant shall also pay to Landlord as additional rent Seventy-five Dollars ($75.00) per hour for each additional hour that Tenant's audit takes of Landlord's property manager's or asset manager's time, provided such audit discloses no error or an error greater than five percent (5%) of the Total Expenses. The results of the audit (regardless of the degree of the error, if any) shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant, and Landlord shall thereafter, if appropriate, change its method of calculating the Operating Expenses consistent with the results of the audit. Tenant agrees to hold the information obtained from such audit confidential and shall not disclose the same without Landlord's express written permission except as necessary to enforce the Lease or protect Tenant's rights hereunder. If Tenant shall not elect to cause an audit within the time period permitted hereby, then Landlord's statement shall be conclusively deemed to have been approved and accepted by Tenant. Pending resolution of any dispute with respect to statements of Tenant's Annual Rental Adjustment, Tenant shall pay its Annual Rental Adjustment as shown on such statement, and upon final determination of the amount of Tenant's Annual Rental Adjustment, Landlord shall promptly refund any overpayment to Tenant or Tenant shall promptly pay any amount due to Landlord, as applicable.
Base Rent Lessee shall pay Base Rent and other rent or charges, as the same may be adjusted from time to time, to Lessor in lawful money of the United States, without offset or deduction, on or before the day on which it is due under the terms of this Lease. Base Rent and all other rent and charges for any period during the term hereof which is for less than one full month shall be prorated based upon the actual number of days of the month involved. Payment of Base Rent and other charges shall be made to Lessor at its address stated herein or to such other persons or at such other addresses as Lessor may from time to time designate in writing to Lessee.
Monthly Rent a. Commencing as of the Commencement Date, and continuing thereafter on or before the first day of each calendar month during the term hereof, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as monthly rent for the Premises, the Monthly Rent specified in Paragraph 2 above. If Tenant’s obligation to pay Monthly Rent hereunder commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, or if the term of this Lease terminates on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, then the Monthly Rent payable for such partial month shall be appropriately prorated on the basis of a thirty (30)-day month. Monthly Rent and the Additional Rent specified in Paragraph 7 shall he paid by Tenant to Landlord, in advance, without deduction, offset, prior notice or demand, in immediately available funds of lawful money of the United States of America, or by good check as described below, to the lockbox location designated by Landlord, or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing. Payments made by check must be drawn either on a California financial institution or on a financial institution that is a member of the federal reserve system. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall pay to Landlord together with Tenant’s execution of this Lease an amount equal to the Monthly Rent payable for the first full calendar month of the Lease term after Tenant’s obligation to pay Monthly Rent shall have commenced hereunder, which amount shall be applied to the Monthly Rent first due and payable hereunder.
b. All amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, or otherwise payable in connection with Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises, in addition to the Monthly Rent hereunder and Additional Rent under Paragraph 7, shall constitute rent owed by Tenant to Landlord hereunder.
c. Any rent not paid by Tenant to Landlord when due shall bear interest from the date due to the date of payment by Tenant at an annual rate of interest (the “Interest Rate”) equal to the lesser of (i) twelve percent (12%) per annum or (ii) the maximum annual interest rate allowed by law on such due date for business loans (not primarily for personal, family or household purposes) not exempt from the usury law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall give Tenant notice of non-payment of rent when due and five (5) days after delivery of such notice to cure such non-payment once in each calendar year before assessing interest in such calendar year pursuant to this Paragraph 5.c. Failure by Tenant to pay rent when due, including any interest accrued under this subparagraph, shall constitute an Event of Default (as defined in Paragraph 25 below) giving rise to all the remedies afforded Landlord under this Lease and at law for nonpayment of rent.
d. No security or guaranty which may now or hereafter be furnished to Landlord for the payment of rent due hereunder or for the performance by Tenant of the other terms of this Lease shall in any way be a bar or defense to any of Landlord’s remedies under this Lease or at law.
e. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease: (i) in no event may any rent under this Lease be based in whole or in part on the income or profits derived from the Premises, except for percentage rent based on gross (not net) receipts or sales; (ii) if the holder of a Superior Interest (as defined in Paragraph 21 below) succeeds to Landlord’s interest in the Lease (“Successor Landlord”) and the Successor Landlord is advised by its counsel that all or any portion of the rent payable under this Lease is or may be deemed to be “unrelated business income” within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code or regulations issued thereunder, such Successor Landlord may, at its option, unilaterally amend the calculation of rent so that none of the rent payable to Landlord under the Lease will constitute “unrelated business income,” but the amendment will not increase Tenant’s payment obligations or other liability under this Lease or reduce the Landlord’s obligations under this Lease and (iii) upon the Successor Landlord’s request, Tenant shall execute any document such holder deems necessary to effect the foregoing amendment to this Lease.
Payment of Base Rent Tenant agrees to pay the Base Rent for the Premises. Monthly Installments of Base Rent shall be payable in advance on the first day of each calendar month of the Term. If the Term begins (or ends) on other than the first (or last) day of a calendar month, the Base Rent for the partial month shall be prorated on a per diem basis. Tenant shall pay Landlord the first Monthly Installment of Base Rent when Tenant executes the Lease.
Annual Fixed Rent Tenant covenants and agrees to pay the Annual Fixed Rent in Section 1.1 to Landlord in advance in equal monthly installments commencing on the Term Commencement Date (if not the first day of a month) and thereafter on the first day of each calendar month during the Term. All payments shall be due without billing or demand and without deduction, setoff or counterclaim, except as expressly set forth in this Lease. Tenant shall make payment for any portion of a month at the beginning or end of the Term. All payments shall be payable to Landlord at Landlord’s address, as specified in Section 1.1, or to such other entities at such other places as Landlord may from time to time designate. Without limiting the foregoing, except as expressly set forth in this Lease, Tenant’s obligation so to pay Rent (as hereinafter defined) shall not be discharged or otherwise affected by any law or regulation now or hereafter applicable to the Premises, or any other restriction on Tenant’s use, or any casualty or taking, or any failure by Landlord to perform any covenant contained herein, or any other occurrence; and, except as expressly set forth in this Lease, Tenant waives all rights now or hereafter existing to terminate or cancel this Lease or quit or surrender the Premises or any part thereof, or to assert any defense in the nature of constructive eviction to any action seeking to recover Rent. The foregoing notwithstanding, if Landlord fails for any reason within Landlord’s control to provide any service to be supplied by Landlord under the Lease which is necessary for Tenant’s reasonable use of the Premises (such as HVAC, elevator service, electricity, water, or structural repairs), and Tenant is unable to use the Premises on account of such failure, Tenant shall be entitled to a proportional abatement of Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Charges for Operating Expenses and Taxes based on the portion of the Premises which cannot be used by Tenant. This abatement shall begin on the fourth (4th) consecutive Business Day from Tenant’s written notice to Landlord of the failure. The abatement shall end when the services are restored sufficiently to permit use of the Premises.
Basic Rent The periodic rent payable for the Aircraft throughout the Basic Term pursuant to Section 3.02 of the Lease, adjusted pursuant to Article 3 of the Lease. Basic Term. The period commencing at the beginning of the day on the Delivery Date and ending at the end of the day on July 15, 2023, or such earlier date on which the Lease shall be terminated as provided therein.
Additional Rent 3.3.1. In addition to the Monthly Base Rent and other sums to be paid by Tenant to Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional rent the amount by which Tenant's share of Operating Expenses (defined below) for any lease year or part thereof during the term exceeds Tenant's Expense Stop Base, as set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions. Tenant's share of Operating Expenses shall be an amount equal to the product of the Operating Expenses multiplied by Tenant's Operating Expense Percentage specified in the Basic Lease Provisions. For partial lease years during the term, the annual Operating Expenses and Tenant's Expense Stop Base shall be prorated on a daily basis using a 30-day month and 360-day year to determine the amount of additional rent due to Landlord.
3.3.2. Landlord shall be entitled to make an estimate of Operating Expenses projected for each lease year. Landlord shall be entitled to revise such estimate at any time and from time to time during the lease year to increase or decrease the estimate of Operating Expenses. If Landlord notifies Tenant that Landlord's estimate (or any revised estimate) of Operating Expenses would result in an obligation of Tenant to pay additional rent, then upon request by Landlord, Tenant shall pay one-twelfth (1/12) of such estimated additional rent on the first day of each month in advance together with the Monthly Base Rent. If Landlord shall so notify Tenant after the commencement of a lease year, then with the next payment of rent due, Tenant shall also pay to Landlord one-twelfth (1/12) of such estimated additional rent for each month of such lease year which has already elapsed.
3.3.3. Landlord shall provide Tenant with an annual statement showing Tenant's share of the annual Operating Expenses over Tenant's Expense Stop Base, if any, for the prior lease year, together with any proration. Landlord shall use all reasonable efforts to deliver the annual statement within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of the lease year; provided, however, that failure of Landlord to deliver the annual statement within such period shall not impair or constitute a waiver of Tenant's obligations to pay additional rent or cause Landlord to incur any obligation for damages. If the amount of the additional rent due for the lease year exceeds any amount paid by Tenant as estimated additional rent for such lease year, then Tenant shall pay such excess to Landlord within ten (10) days of receipt of Landlord's statement. If the amounts paid as estimated additional rent for a lease year exceed the amount of Tenant's obligation shown on the annual statement, then Tenant shall be entitled to a credit against monthly installments of estimated additional rent due for the then current year. If no further sums of additional rent are or will become due against which the excess can be credited, then, subject to offset at Landlord's election against other sums owed by Tenant, Landlord shall pay such excess to Tenant within ten (10) days after delivery of the annual statement. All obligations to pay additional rent and/or the obligation of Landlord to credit or reimburse Tenant for any excess payment of estimated additional rent shall survive expiration of the term or earlier termination of this Lease.
3.3.4. Tenant shall have a period of thirty (30) days after delivery of the annual statement of Operating Expenses to question or challenge the amount shown thereon by giving written notice to Landlord specifying the items which are challenged. Tenant waives and relinquishes the right to challenge or object to the amounts shown at any time after expiration of such thirty (30) day period. If Tenant timely challenges any item shown on the annual statement, Tenant shall then have a period of sixty (60) days in which to inspect, during business hours upon reasonable written notice to Landlord at Landlord's office, Landlord's records relating to the challenged item or items. Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord prior to expiration of such sixty (60) days of whether Tenant continues to challenge any of the items originally objected to, in which case a certification as to proper amount shall be made by Landlord's independent certified public accountant, which certification shall be final and conclusive. The cost of such review shall be paid by Tenant, unless such review reveals an error resulting in an overcharge to Tenant of five percent (5%) or more, in which case the cost of such review shall be paid by Landlord. If Tenant fails to review the records or fails to give timely written notice to Landlord that it continues to object, then Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its objection and shall have no further right to challenge or object thereto. Notwithstanding any objection or challenge of Tenant, Tenant shall pay the amount claimed by Landlord to be due as and when provided for herein, pending the resolution of Tenant's objection.
Late Payment Rent Late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent and other sums due will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord under any Mortgage covering the Premises. Therefore, if any installment of Rent due from Tenant is not received by Landlord within 5 days after the date such payment is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional sum equal to 6% of the overdue Rent as a late charge. Notwithstanding the foregoing, before assessing a late charge the first time in any calendar year, Landlord shall provide Tenant written notice of the delinquency and will waive the right if Tenant pays such delinquency within 5 days thereafter. The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. In addition to the late charge, Rent not paid when due shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the 5th day after the date due until paid.
Calculation and Payment of Additional Rent Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in the manner set forth in Section 4.4.1, below, and as Additional Rent, Tenant’s Share of Direct Expenses for each Expense Year.
