  8A. Common Operating Expenses

 

  8A.1 Common Operating Expense Payment Provisions: The following provisions shall apply to the obligations of Tenant with respect to Common Operating Expenses:

 

  A. Payment shall be made by whichever of the following methods is from time to time designated by Landlord, and landlord may change the method of payment at any time. After each calendar year during the Term of this lease, Landlord may invoice Tenant for Tenant’s Adjustment Rent as it relates to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the increase in Common Operating Expenses for such calendar year, and Tenant shall pay such amount so invoiced within five (5) days after receipt of such notice. Alternatively, (i) Landlord shall deliver to Tenant Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the amount of Adjustment Rent as it relates to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the increase in Common Operating Expenses it anticipates will be paid or incurred for the calendar year in question; (ii) during such calendar year, Tenant shall pay such Tenant’s Adjustment Rent as it relates to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the estimated increase in Common Operating Expenses in advance in equal monthly installments due with each installment of Rent; and (iii) within ninety (90) days after the end of such calendar year, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement in reasonable detail of the actual Common Operating Expenses paid or incurred by Landlord in accordance with this subsection A during the just ending calendar year, and thereupon there shall be an adjustment between Landlord and Tenant, with payment to or repayment by Landlord, as the case may require, within five (5) days after delivery by landlord to Tenant of such statement, to the end that Landlord shall receive the entire amount of Tenant’s Adjustment Rent as it relates to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the increase in all the Common Operating Expenses for such calendar year and no more.

 

  B.

Prior to or during December of each calendar year during the lease Term or as soon as practicable thereafter, Landlord may give Tenant written notice of Landlord’s estimate of the amount of the Common Operating Expenses for the next succeeding calendar year. An amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of Tenant’s Share of any such estimated increase shall be payable monthly by Tenant as aforesaid, commencing on the first day of the calendar month following Landlord’s notice and continuing throughout the lease Term, subject to further adjustments following receipt of any notice of increase from landlord given pursuant to this subsection B or subsection C below.

 

- 3 -


  C. Landlord may at any time during the calendar year of the lease Term adjust its estimate of Common Operating Expenses to reflect current expenditures and following written notice to Tenant of such revised estimate, subsequent payments by Tenant shall be based upon such revised estimate.

 

  D. If the Commencement Date is on a date other than the first day of a calendar year, the amount of Adjustment Rent as it relates to the increase in Common Operating Expenses payable by Tenant in such calendar year shall be prorated on the basis which the number of days from the Commencement Date falls bears to 365. If the termination of the lease shall be on a day other than the last day of a calendar year, the amount of any adjustment pursuant to subparagraph A above for the calendar year in which the lease terminates shall be prorated on the basis which the number of days from the commencement of such calendar year to and including such termination date bears to 365. The termination of the lease shall not affect the obligations of Landlord and Tenant pursuant to clause (iii) of subparagraph A above or the immediately preceding sentence.

 

  E.

Tenant shall have the right, exercisable upon not less than two (2) weeks prior written notice to Landlord, to review Landlord’s books and records relating to Common Operating Expenses within ninety (90) days of receipt of any annual statement for the same, for the purpose of verifying the charges contained in such statement. Such review shall take place at Landlord’s office during regular business hours and Tenant shall be responsible for all costs and related expenses of the review. In no event shall Tenant have the right to conduct such review if Tenant is then in default of this lease with respect to any monetary obligations, including, without limitation, the payment by Tenant of all Additional Rent amounts that are the subject of Tenant’s review. Tenant may not withhold payment pending completion of such inspection of Landlord’s books and records. If Tenant fails to timely exercise its inspection rights in accordance with the terms above, the failure shall be conclusively deemed to constitute Tenant’s approval of Landlord’s reconciliation statement for the calendar year in question. Tenant shall keep any information gained from the inspection of Landlord’s books and records confidential and shall not disclose it to any other party, except as

required by law. If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall require its employees or agents inspecting Landlord’s books and records to sign a confidentiality agreement as a condition of Landlord making Landlord’s books and records available to them. Tenant covenants and agrees that any accounting or auditing firm or company retained by Tenant to review or inspect Landlord’s books and records relating to Common Operating Expenses shall not be compensated on a contingency fee basis.

5. The annual rent for the second year of the remaining option years shall be calculated as follows:

b. The annual rent payable for the second year of the option period shall be the amount of the annual rent payable for the first year of the option period increased by the C.P.I. of the immediately preceding year; but in no event shall the new annual rent be less than the rent payable for the year immediately preceding the commencement of the second year of the option period

6. The annual rent for the third year of the remaining option years shall be calculated as follows:

b. The annual rent payable for the third year of the option period shall be the amount of the annual rent payable for the second year of the option period increased by the C.P.I. of the immediately preceding year; but in no event shall the new annual rent be less than rent payable for the year immediately preceding the commencement of the third year of the option period

against the next installment of rent due, and any underpayment shall be immediately due and payable by Tenant. Landlord’s failure to request payment of an estimated or actual rent adjustment shall not constitute a waiver of the right to any adjustment provided for in this paragraph.

10. If the compilation or publication of the C.P.I. is transferred to any other governmental department or bureau or agency or is discontinued, then the index most nearly the same as the C.P.I. shall be used
