Base Rent Purchaser will receive a credit at Closing for the prorated amount of all base or fixed rent payable pursuant to the Leases and all Additional Rents (collectively, “Rent”) previously paid to, or collected by, Seller and attributable to any period following the Closing Date. Rents are “Delinquent” when they were due prior to the Closing Date, and payment thereof has not been made on or before the Closing Date. Delinquent Rent shall not be prorated at Closing. All Rent collected by Purchaser or Seller from each tenant from and after Closing will be applied as follows: (i) first, to Delinquent Rent owed for the month in which the Closing Date occurs (the “Closing Month”), (ii) second, to any accrued Rents owing to Purchaser, and (iii) third, to Delinquent Rents owing to Seller for the period prior to Closing. Any Rent collected by Purchaser and due Seller will be promptly remitted to Seller. Any Rent collected by Seller and due Purchaser shall be promptly remitted to Purchaser. Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to collect Delinquent Rents owed to Seller in the ordinary course of its business; provided, however, that Seller hereby retains the right to pursue any tenant under the Leases for any Rent and other sums due Seller for period attributable to Seller’s ownership of the Property; and provided further, however, Seller (i) shall be required to notify Purchaser in writing of Seller’s intention to commence or pursue any legal proceedings; and (ii) shall not be permitted to commence or pursue any legal proceedings against any tenant seeking eviction of such tenant or the termination of the underlying Lease. “Additional Rents” shall mean any and all amounts due from tenants for operating expenses, common area maintenance charges, taxes, shared utility charges, management fees, insurance costs, other comparable expenses and pass-through charges and any other tenant charges. The provisions of this Section 14.5 shall survive the Closing and the delivery of any conveyance documentation.
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.
Additional Rent In addition to the Base Rent reserved by Section 4.01, and notwithstanding that the payment of Base Rent does not commence until the Rent Commencement Date, commencing on the Lease Commencement Date and continuing throughout the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay: (i) in respect of the Premises and the Building Common Area, (a) Tenant’s Building Share of Operating Expenses; (b) Tenant’s Building Share of Insurance Expenses; (c) Tenant’s Building Share of Real Property Taxes; and (d) a management fee (the “Management Fee”), payable on a monthly basis, in advance, at the same time and in the same manner applicable to monthly installments of Base Rent, in an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the then applicable monthly installment of Base Rent (for purposes of computing the Management Fee pursuant to this Section 4.01, the Base Rent due for each of the first eight (8) months of the Lease Term shall be deemed to be $180,657.00 per month); and (ii) with respect to the Project Common Area, (a) Tenant’s Project Share of Operating Expenses, (b) Tenant’s Project Share of Insurance Expenses, and (c) Tenant’s Project Share of Real Property Taxes. As used herein, the term “Tenant’s Share” shall mean Tenant’s Building Share or Tenant’s Project Share (as defined below), as applicable. All of the foregoing payments of Operating Expenses, Insurance Expenses, Real Property Taxes, and the Management Fee, together with any and all other amounts (other than Base Rent), whether or not contemplated, payable by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease are referred to herein, collectively, as “Additional Rent,” and Base Rent and Additional Rent are referred to herein, collectively, as “Rent.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Landlord may elect, at its sole and absolute discretion, instead of charging Tenant the Tenant’s Share of certain Operating Expenses, Insurance Expenses and or Property Taxes, to charge to Tenant as Additional Rent one hundred percent (100%) of such expenses to the extent such expenses are incurred solely in connection with Tenant’s occupancy or use of the Premises, including, without limitation, the cost of separately metered utilities servicing the Premises or taxes or special assessments related solely to Tenant’s occupancy or use of the Premises.
Rent Lessee shall pay Lessors rent for the use of the Equipment pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph 3 (“Rent”). Rent shall accrue during the Initial Term, and Lessee shall pay Lessors Rent attributable to the Initial Term at the expiration of the Term (in connection with Lessee’s payment under its purchase obligation pursuant to Paragraph 7 below), subject to Lessee’s right to pay Rent currently as it accrues. Lessee shall pay Rent to Lessors on a quarterly basis during each of the First Renewal Term, the Second Renewal Term and the Third Renewal Term, in each case if Lessee exercises the applicable renewal option. Rent during the Initial Term shall be equal to an annual rate of twelve percent (12%) of the Purchase Price (as defined in the Sale and Leaseback Agreement, taking into account the dates on which each installment of the Purchase Price is actually paid to Lessee), compounded quarterly. The Rent during the First Renewal Term shall be equal to an annual rate of thirteen percent (13%) of the Purchase Price (compounded quarterly if Lessee fails to pay Rent currently as required by this Paragraph 3). Rent during the Second Renewal Term shall be equal to an annual rate of fourteen percent (14%) of the Purchase Price (compounded quarterly if Lessee fails to pay Rent currently as required by this Paragraph 3). Rent during the Third Renewal Term shall be equal to an annual rate of fifteen percent (15%) of the Purchase Price (compounded quarterly if Lessee fails to pay Rent currently as required by this Paragraph 3). If any Rent or other amount payable by Lessee is not paid within five days after the day on which it becomes payable, Lessee will pay on demand, as a late charge, an amount equal to 5% of such unpaid Rent or other amount but only to the extent permitted by applicable law. All payments provided for herein shall be payable to Lessors at the address specified in Paragraph 23 below, or at any other place designated by Lessors. For purposes of calculating the amount of Rent that accrues during any period, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by 100/105ths of any amounts treated as a reduction of Exercise Price in accordance with the last sentence of Paragraph 7 below, as of the date such amounts are paid to Lessors.
Additional Rental (a) For purposes of this Lease, "Tenant's Forecast Additional Rental" shall mean Landlord's reasonable estimate of Tenant's Additional Rental for the coming calendar year or portion thereof. If at any time it appears to Landlord that Tenant's Additional Rental for the current calendar year will vary from Landlord's estimate by more than five percent (5%), Landlord shall have the right to revise, by notice to Tenant, its estimate for such year, and subsequent payments by Tenant for such year shall be based upon such revised estimate of Tenant's Additional Rental. Failure to make a revision contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence shall not prejudice Landlord's right to collect the full amount of Tenant's Additional Rental. Prior to the Rental Commencement Date and thereafter prior to the beginning of each calendar year during the Lease Term, including any extensions thereof, Landlord shall present to Tenant a statement of Tenant's Forecast Additional Rental for such calendar year; provided, however, that if such statement is not given prior to the beginning of any calendar year as aforesaid, Tenant shall continue to pay during the next ensuing calendar year on the basis of the amount of Tenant's Forecast Additional Rental payable during the calendar year just ended until the month after such statement is delivered to Tenant.
