In explanation of the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, Basic Costs shall include: all real and personal property taxes and assessments (whether general or special, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen) and any tax or assessment levied or charged in lieu thereof, whether assessed against Landlord and/or Tenant and whether collected from Landlord and/of Tenant; snow removal, trash removal, common area, utilities, cost of equipment or devices used to conserve or monitor energy consumption, supplies, liability and building, fire, and casualty insurance, license, permit and inspection fees, cost of services of independent contractors, cost or compensation (including employment taxes and fringe benefits) of all persons who perform regular and recurring duties connected with day-to-day operation, maintenance, repair, and replacement of the Building, its equipment and the adjacent walk, and landscaped area (including, but not limited to janitorial, scavenger, gardening, security, parking, elevator, painting, plumbing, electrical, mechanical, carpentry, window washing, structural and roof repairs and reserves, signing and advertising), but excluding persons performing services not uniformly available to or performed for substantially all Building tenants; and rental expense or a reasonable allowance for depreciation of personal property used in the maintenance, operation and repair of the Building. The foregoing notwithstanding, Basic Costs shall not include depreciation on the Building and Improvements; amounts paid toward principal or interest of loans of Landlord; nor “Direct Costs” as defined in Section 3.03 (b).

(d) “Estimated Costs” shall mean the projected amount of Direct Costs, Metered Costs and Proportionate Share of Basic Costs.

(b) Within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Annual Report of Costs, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount by which Direct Costs, Metered Costs and Proportionate Share of Basic Costs, as specified in the Report, exceed the aggregate of Estimated Costs actually paid by Tenant as Additional Rent for the year at issue.

(c) If the Annual Report of Costs indicates that the Estimated Costs paid by Tenant exceeded the actual Direct Costs, Metered Costs and Proportionate Share of Basic Costs for the same year, Landlord, at its sole election, shall either (i) pay the amount of such excess to Tenant, or (ii) apply such excess against the next installment(s) of Base Monthly Rent and/or Additional Rent due hereunder and so notify Tenant.
