6. RENT ADJUSTMENT

This paragraph is hereby amended with the addition of the following:

A.1 TAX ESCALATION: Commencing as of February 1, 2018, if any tax year commencing with the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019, the real estate taxes on the land and buildings, of which the Leased Premises are a part, are in excess of the amount of the real estate taxes thereon for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 (hereinafter called the “Base Year”), LESSEE will pay to LESSOR as additional rent hereunder, when and as designated by notice in writing by LESSOR, 18.51% of such excess that may occur in each year of the term of this lease or any extension or renewal thereof and proportionately for any part of a fiscal year. If the LESSOR obtains an abatement of any such excess real estate tax, a proportionate share of such abatement, less the reasonable fees and costs incurred in obtaining the same, if any, shall be refunded to the LESSEE. The LESSEE shall, effective July 1, 2018, make estimated installment payments as additional rent as and when the payment of base rent is due. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 2019 (July 1, 2018 – June 30, 2019) the LESSEE’S estimated installment payments shall be based on 105% of the actual real estate taxes assessed during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 (July 1, 2017 – June 30, 2018) less the Base Year amount. Thereafter, estimated real estate tax payments shall be based on 105% of the prior year’s actual real estate taxes less the Base Year amount. Actual real estate taxes will not be known at the beginning of each fiscal year and therefore retroactive adjustment to estimated payments shall be necessary when actual real estate taxes are known. After the end of each fiscal year, as and when the actual real estate taxes are available, LESSOR shall provide LESSEE written notice in reasonable detail of LESSEE’S pro rata share of the actual real estate taxes for such fiscal year less the Base Year amount, the estimated payments made by LESSEE on account thereof, and the new estimated payments calculated in accordance with the above. The LESSEE shall pay LESSOR within thirty (30) days of receiving such written notice, the balance owed due to insufficient estimated payments made in accordance with the above, and the LESSOR shall credit the LESSEE’S account for any excess estimated payments made in accordance with the above or refund such amount to LESSEE at the end of the Term if such credit cannot be fully applied against rent. Taxes for which LESSEE is obligated to reimburse LESSOR hereunder shall not include any penalties or interest for late or partial payment nor any income, franchise, inheritance, estate, transfer, excise, gift or capital gain taxes, that are or may be payable by LESSOR or that may be imposed against LESSOR or against the rents payable hereunder; provided, however, if at any time during the Lease term the present method of taxation shall be changed so that in lieu of the whole or any part of any real estate taxes levied, assessed, reassessed or imposed on the property of which the Leased Premises is a part and the improvements thereon, there shall be levied, assessed reassessed or imposed on LESSOR a capital levy or other tax directly on the rents received therefrom and/or a franchise tax, assessment, levy or charge measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon such rents or the present or any future building or buildings in and on the property of which the Leased Premises is a part, then all such taxes, assessments, reassessments, levies or charges, or the part thereof so measured or based, shall be deemed to be included within the term “real estate taxes” for the purpose hereof. LESSOR shall elect to pay, or real estate taxes due from LESSEE shall be calculated as if LESSEE elected to pay, all real estate taxes and betterments and special assessments over the longest period permitted under applicable law and real estate taxes due from LESSEE shall include only those installments which become due during or with respect to the Lease term (and an interest charged thereon as a result of such installment treatment).

B.1 OPERATING COST ESCALATION: Commencing as of February 1, 2018, the LESSEE shall pay to the LESSOR as additional rent hereunder when and as designated by notice in writing by LESSOR, 18.51% of any increase in operating expenses over those incurred during the calendar year 2018. Operating expenses are defined for the purposes of this agreement in Exhibit E-1 hereto (as so defined, “Operating Expenses”). The LESSEE shall, effective January 1, 2019 make estimated installment payments as additional rent as and when the payment of base rent is due. During the calendar year 2019, the LESSEE’S estimated installment payments shall be based on 105% of actual Operating Expenses assessed during calendar year 2018 less the Operating Expenses base year amount or refund such amount to LESSEE at the end of the Term if such credit cannot be fully applied against rent. Thereafter, estimated Operating Expenses shall be based on 105% of the prior year’s actual Operating Expenses less the Operating Expenses base year amount. Actual Operating Expenses will not be known until after the conclusion of each calendar year, retroactive adjustment to estimated payments shall be necessary when actual Operating Expenses are known. After the end of each calendar year, as and when the actual Operating Expenses are available (with LESSOR endeavoring to provide same by April 30^th of each year), LESSOR shall provide LESSEE written notice in reasonable detail of LESSEE’S pro rata share of the actual Operating Expenses for such calendar year less the Operating Expenses base year amount, the estimated payments made by LESSEE on account thereof, and the new estimated payments calculated in accordance with the above. The LESSEE shall pay LESSOR, within thirty (30) days of receiving written notice thereof, the balance owed due to insufficient estimated payments made in accordance with the above, and the LESSOR shall credit the LESSEE’S account for any excess estimated payments made in accordance with the above.

20. NOTICE:

LESSOR’S address as contained in this paragraph 20 and throughout the Lease is hereby changed to 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000.
