In the event Landlord determines the Additional Premises will be ready for delivery to Tenant in the Required Condition on the Additional Premises Delivery Date, within ten (10) business days prior to the Additional Premises Delivery Date, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a written amendment to the Lease, which amendment shall provide, unless otherwise agreed in writing, (a) that the commencement date of the Additional Premises shall be the Additional Premises Delivery Date (the “Additional Premises Commencement Date”), (b) that, as of the Additional Premises Commencement Date, the Premises under the Lease shall be increased to include the Additional Premises for a total of sixty-one thousand four hundred forty-four (61,444) square feet of Rentable Area (together, the Premises and the Additional Premises shall be referred to hereinafter as the “Total Premises”), (c) the new Basic Annual Rent applicable to the Total Premises, which shall commence on the Additional Premises Commencement Date and shall be as further described in Section 4.2 of this Amendment, (d) Tenant’s new Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses as of the Additional Premises Commencement Date, which Pro Rata Share shall equal one hundred percent (100%) of the Building and thirty-three and 51/100 percent (33.51%) of the Project and (e) that, in addition to the parking which Tenant is entitled to under the terms of the Lease with respect to the original Premises, Tenant, for so long as Tenant leases the Additional Premises, shall have a non-exclusive license to use the parking facilities serving the Building in common on an unreserved basis with other tenants of the Building and the Project at a ratio of 3.3 parking spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet of Additional Premises, which amounts to fifty-one (51) additional parking spaces, which number shall include three (3) additional Reserved Spaces. In the event the Additional Premises is not ready for delivery to Tenant in the Required Condition on the Additional Premises Delivery Date, then (x) this Amendment and the Lease shall not be void or voidable, (y) Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom and (z) the new Basic Annual Rent applicable to the Premises shall be as further described in Section 4.3 of this Amendment.
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.
Tenant’s Share The term “Tenant’s Share” shall mean the percentage obtained by dividing Tenant’s Gross Leasable Area by the Building Gross Leasable Area, which as of the Effective Date is the percentage identified in Section G of the Summary.
Storage Space Landlord shall reserve up to five thousand 5,000 square feet of storage space for lease by Tenant during the Lease Term (the “Storage Space”). The Storage Space shall be located in one or more private rooms selected by Landlord in the On-Site Parking Area designated on Exhibit P attached hereto. Tenant shall have the right to increase or decrease (but not in excess of the 5,000 square foot limit set forth above) the amount of Storage Space leased by Tenant on thirty (30) days written notice to Landlord. The Storage Space described above required to be provided by Landlord to Tenant shall be leased at a rental rate equal to ( ) per usable square foot per month during the Lease Tenn. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any Storage Space in addition to the Storage Space required to be reserved by Landlord for Tenant’s use hereunder shall become available for use by tenants of the Building, Landlord agrees that Tenant shall have the right, upon written notice to Landlord, to lease such additional Storage Space on a month-to-month basis to the extent and for the duration that Landlord does not require the use of such additional Storage Space by other tenants in the Building or for another purpose. Any such additional Storage Space shall be leased at a rental rate equal to ( ) per usable square foot per month. The Storage Space rental amounts shall be due on a monthly basis concurrent with Tenant’s payment of the Base Rent due with respect to the Premises, and shall constitute Rent under the Lease. All Storage Space leased by Tenant shall be in a condition reasonably suitable for use as storage space. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord, by providing Tenant with the Storage Space is not assuming the responsibility to ensure the security of or provide security for the Storage Space, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord for damage to or theft of any property stored by Tenant in the Storage Space, except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s agents, contractors or representatives. Landlord shall deliver the Storage Space to Tenant in its “as-is” condition, without any obligation on the part of Landlord to remodel, refurbish or otherwise improve the Storage Space, provided that the Storage Space shall have a ceiling, walls, a door and lighting. Landlord shall have the right, not more than once per calendar year, upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Tenant, to relocate the Storage Space to another area of the Building of approximately the same aggregate square footage as the Storage Space; in the event of such relocation of the Storage Space, Landlord shall pay Tenant’s actual costs of moving materials stored in the Storage Space to the replacement Storage Space.
