Rent Increases The Rent payable shall not be increased or otherwise modified during the Term of this Lease. Any increase in Rent shall only take effect after the expiration of the Term provided in this Lease. Any increase in Rent to take effect upon renewal or extension of the Term of this Lease must be preceded by a - day notice of the same from the Landlord to the Tenant.
RENT INCREASE 6.1 The Landlord is entitled to increase the Rent payable under this tenancy, either during the Tenancy Term or any subsequent renewal or periodic term, on each anniversary of the start date of this tenancy (“The Rent Increase Date”). The increase will be a minimum 5% in addition to the current Rent payable. Should the Landlord elect to do so they will first serve written notice on the Tenant in accordance with these Tenancy Terms and Conditions of at least one calendar month prior to the Rent Increase Date (“the Rent Increase Notice”).
6.2 If the Landlord chooses not to increase the Rent on the Rent Increase Date they may defer doing so to any date thereafter provided they shall at any time thereafter be entitled to serve a Rent Increase Notice and the said rent increase shall take effect on the expiry of such notice – the Landlord will not be entitled to then increase the rent in this way for another 12 months.
Base Rental (a) Lessee hereby agrees to pay to Lessor, without setoff or deduction whatsoever, in accordance with the Schedule of Base Rent attached hereto as EXHIBIT D ("Base Rental). Lessee shall also pay, as additional rent [or Forecast Additional Rent ], all such other sums of money as shall become due from and payable by Lessee to Lessor under this Lease (Base Rental, any adjustment thereto pursuant to Section 4 hereof, and all such other sums of money due from and payable by Lessee pursuant to this Lease are sometimes hereinafter collectively called "rent"), for the nonpayment of which Lessor shall be entitled to exercise all such rights and remedies as are herein provided in the case of the nonpayment of Base Rental. The annual Base Rental, together with any adjustment or increase thereto then in effect, shall be due and payable in advance in twelve (12) equal installments on the first 1st day of each calendar month during the term of this Lease, and Lessee hereby agrees so to pay such Base Rental and any adjustment or increase thereto to Lessor at Lessor's address provided herein (or such other address as may be designated by Lessor in writing from time to time) monthly, in advance, and without demand. If the term of this Lease commences on a day other than first (1st) day of a month or terminates on a day other than the last day of a month, then the installments of Base Rental and any adjustments thereto for such month or months shall be prorated, and the installment or installments so prorated shall be paid in advance.
(b) In the event any installment of the Base Rental, or any other sums which may become owing by Lessee to Lessor under the provisions hereof are not received within Five (5) days after the due date thereof (without in any way implying Lessor's consent to such late payment), Lessee, to the extent permitted by law, agrees to pay, in addition to said installment of the Base Rental or such other sums owed, a late payment charge equal to ten percent (10%) (Late Fee) of the installment of the Base Rental or such other sums owed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the foregoing late charges shall not apply to any sums which have been advanced by Lessor to or for the benefit of Lessee pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, it being understood that such sums shall bear interest, which Lessee hereby agrees to pay to Lessor, at the lesser of fifteen percent (15%) per annum or the maximum rate of interest permitted by law to be charged Lessee for the use or forbearance of such money.
Base Rent Adjustments Base Rent shall be increased on each annual anniversary of the first day of the first full month during the Term of this Lease (each an “Adjustment Date”) by multiplying the Base Rent payable immediately before such Adjustment Date by the Rent Adjustment Percentage and adding the resulting amount to the Base Rent payable immediately before such Adjustment Date. Base Rent, as so adjusted, shall thereafter be due as provided herein. Base Rent adjustments for any fractional calendar month shall be prorated.
Wage Increases The wage rates in this Agreement will only be increased in accordance with any increases which may be awarded by the Australian Fair Pay Commission through wage reviews. The level of any increases will be such that the percentage wage increase as set out in Clause 15 of this agreement will be maintained. No additional increases in wage rates will apply to the rate of pay in Clause 15 of this Agreement while it is in operation.
Base Rent Adjustment The Base Rent payable hereunder shall be adjusted upward from time to time in accordance with the following provisions:
(a) Tenant shall pay to Landlord as an adjustment to Rent, an amount equal to the excess (the “Excess”) from time to time of total annual Operating Expenses per square foot of Rentable Area of the Premises, as Grossed-Up, over and above the Expense Stop. The Excess shall be obtained by multiplying (i) the difference between the annual Operating Expense per square foot of Rentable Area in the Premises and the Expense Stop, by (ii) the total Rentable Area of the Premises as set forth in Section 1.15. Such amount shall be paid in advance in monthly installments on the same dates as Base Rent is due and payable hereunder based on Landlord’s notice delivered to Tenant from time to time setting forth Landlord’s good faith estimate of the Operating Expenses for the current calendar year. Landlord shall have the right to adjust such amount no more than once a year to reflect any changes in Landlord’s estimate of Operating Expenses.
(b) By April 1 of each calendar year during the Lease Term, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement (“Actual Statement”) of Landlord’s annual Operating Expenses, as Grossed-Up, for the previous calendar year. If for any calendar year the amounts collected from Tenant for the prior year, as a result of Landlord’s estimate of Operating Expenses, exceeds the amount of the Excess actually due during such prior year, then Landlord shall refund to Tenant any overpayment (or at Landlord’s option, apply such amount against Rent due or to become due hereunder). Likewise, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, any underpayment with respect to the prior year.
(c) In the event of any good faith dispute as to the amount of the Excess as set forth in the statement of actual Operating Expenses, Tenant shall have the right, no more frequently than once per calendar year, after reasonable notice to Landlord and at reasonable times, to inspect and photocopy Landlord’s Operating Expenses records at Landlord’s offices. If, after such inspection and photocopy, Tenant continues, in good faith, to dispute the amount of the Excess as set forth in said statement, Tenant shall be entitled not later than one (1) year following Tenant’s receipt of an Actual Statement to retain a national, independent, certified public accountant who is not contracted on a contingency fee basis and is mutually acceptable to Landlord and Tenant to audit Landlord’s Operating Expenses records with respect to the calendar year covered by Actual Statement to determine the proper amount of the Excess. Landlord shall be entitled to review the results of such audit promptly after completion of same. If such audit proves that Landlord has overcharged Tenant, then within fifteen (15) days after the results of the audit are made available to Landlord, Landlord shall credit Tenant the amount of such overcharge toward the payments of Base Rent and Additional Rent next coming due under this Lease. If the results of such audit prove that Landlord has undercharged Tenant, then within fifteen (15) days after the results of the audit are made available to Tenant, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of any such undercharge. Tenant agrees to pay the cost of such audit, provided that Landlord shall reimburse Tenant the amount of such cost if the results of such audit prove that Landlord’s determination of the Excess (as set forth in the Actual Statement) was in error by more than six percent (6%). If Tenant does not request an audit in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6(c) within one (1) year after Tenant’s receipt of an Actual Statement, such Actual Statement shall be conclusively binding upon Tenant. Landlord shall be required to maintain records of all Operating Expenses for three (3) years following the issuance of the Operating Expense statement for such Operating Expenses. The payment by Tenant of any amounts pursuant to this Article shall not preclude Tenant from questioning the correctness of any such statement.
Expansion Premises In addition to the Original Premises, commencing on the Expansion Premises Commencement Date (as defined below), Landlord leases to Tenant, and Tenant leases from Landlord, the Expansion Premises.
Option to Extend Lease Term Landlord hereby grants to Tenant one (1) option ("Option") to extend the Lease Term with respect to the Premises on the following terms and conditions:
(a) The Option shall give Tenant the right to extend the Lease Term for an additional ten (10) years (the "Extended Term");
(b) Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of its exercise of the Option no later than one hundred eighty (180)days, nor earlier than three hundred sixty (360), prior to the Termination Date;
(c) Tenant may not extend the Lease Term pursuant to this Section 3.4 if Tenant is in default in the performance of any of the terms and conditions of this Lease and/or the Other Lease, which default continues after the expiration of any grace period and the giving of any notice, as provided in Article 16 below or in the Other Lease. Any notice of exercise of the Option given by Tenant while Tenant is in default shall be of no force and effect. The period of exercise of the Option shall not be extended for any period in which Tenant is unable to exercise an Option by reason of Tenant's default. If Tenant is in default on the date that the Extended Term is to commence, then Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 16.2.1, notwithstanding any notice given by Tenant of the exercise of the Option.
(d) All terms and conditions of this Lease shall apply during the Extended Term, except that Base Rent for the Extended Term shall be determined in accordance with Section 5.1.2 below;
(e) Once Tenant delivers notice of its exercise of the Option, Tenant may not withdraw such exercise and, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.4, such notice shall operate to extend the Lease Term. Upon the extension of the Lease Term pursuant to this Section 3.4, the term "Lease Term" as used in this Lease shall thereafter include the Extended Term and the Termination Date shall be the expiration date of the Extended Term.
No Rent Abatement Tenant shall continue to pay all Rent due or accruing under this Lease during any Clean-up, and shall not be entitled to any reduction, offset or deferral of any Base Rent or Additional Rent due or accruing under this Lease during any such Clean-up.
Basic Rental Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord during the Term hereof, at Landlord's office or to such other person or at such other place as directed from time to time by written notice to Tenant from Landlord, the monthly and annual sums as set forth in Article 1.C. of the Basic Lease Provisions, payable in advance on the first (1st) day of each calendar month, without demand, setoff or deduction, and in the event this Lease commences or the date of expiration of this Lease occurs other than on the first (1st) day or last day of a calendar month, the rent for such month shall be prorated. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and provided that Tenant faithfully performs all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, Landlord hereby agrees to xxxxx Tenant's obligation to pay monthly Basic Rental for the second (2nd) and third (3rd) full calendar months of the initial Lease Term. During such abatement periods, Tenant shall still be responsible for the payment of all of its other monetary obligations under this Lease. In the event of a default by Tenant under the terms of this Lease that results in early termination pursuant to the provisions of Section 20(a) of this Lease, then as a part of the recovery set forth in Article 20 of this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to the recovery of the monthly Basic Rental that was abated under the provisions of this Section 3(a). The amount of Basic Rental to be abated pursuant to this Section 3(a) above may be referred herein as "Abated Rent Amount." Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to contrary contained herein, upon written notice to Tenant, Landlord shall have the option to purchase all or any portion of Tenant's Abated Rent Amount by paying such amount to Tenant, in which case the amount so paid to Tenant shall nullify an equivalent amount of abatement of Tenant's Basic Rental as to the period so designated by Landlord in Landlord's written notice to Tenant. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the first full month's Basic Rental shall be paid to Landlord in accordance with Article 1.J. of the Basic Lease Provisions and, if the Commencement Date is not the first day of a month, Basic Rental for the partial month commencing as of the Commencement Date shall be prorated based upon the actual number of days in such month and shall be due and payable upon the Commencement Date.
