All disbursements made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be subject to all audit requirements applicable to State funds.

The Recipient simultaneously shall provide the Director with its detailed responses to each and every negative or adverse finding pertaining to the Project and contained in the report. Such responses shall indicate what steps will be taken by the Recipient in remedying or otherwise satisfactorily resolving each problem identified by any such finding. If the Recipient fails to comply with the requirements of this Section or fails to institute steps designated to remedy or otherwise satisfactorily resolve problems identified by negative audit findings, the Director may bar the Recipient from receiving further financial assistance under Chapter 164 of the Revised Code until the Recipient so complies or until the Recipient satisfactorily resolves such findings.

• Audit Right In the event that within ninety (90) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Statement for the prior calendar year, Tenant reasonably believes that certain of the Operating Expenses charged by Landlord include costs that are not properly included within the term “Operating Expenses” or that Landlord has erred in calculating same, Tenant shall have the right to audit Landlord’s books and records in accordance with this subsection. Tenant shall exercise such audit right by providing Landlord with a written notice of Tenant’s exercise of such audit right within such 90-day period and a statement enumerating reasonably detailed reasons for Tenant’s objections to the Statement issued by Landlord (the “Audit Notice”). Upon the receipt by Landlord of an Audit Notice, Landlord shall instruct its property manager for the Building to meet with a designated employee of Tenant (the “Tenant Representative”) to discuss the objections set forth in the Audit Notice. Landlord shall provide the Tenant Representative with reasonable access to Landlord’s books and records at the property manager’s office relating to Operating Expenses for the calendar year in question in order to attempt to resolve the issues raised by Tenant in the Audit Notice. If, within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of the Audit Notice, Landlord and Tenant are unable to resolve Tenant’s objections, then not later than fifteen (15) days after the expiration of such 30-day period, Tenant may conduct the audit. Such audit shall be performed by an independent, reputable certified public accounting firm charging for its services on an hourly rate (and not a contingent fee) basis (“Acceptable Accountants”) for the purpose of inspecting and auditing Landlord’s books and records for the Building relating to the objections raised in Tenant’s Audit Notice. Prior to commencing such audit, the Acceptable Accountants and Tenant must enter into a confidentiality agreement whereby the Acceptable Accountants and Tenant agree to keep the results and findings of such audit confidential. Such audit shall be limited to a determination of whether or not Landlord calculated the Operating Expenses in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease. All costs and expenses of any such audit shall be paid by Tenant; provided, however, in the event it is ultimately determined that Landlord has overstated Operating Expenses by more than five percent (5%), then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for Tenant’s reasonable, out-of-pocket cost of the audit (but in no event to exceed the lesser of the amount of the overcharge to Tenant or $2,000.00) plus the amount determined to have been overpaid by Tenant. Any audit performed pursuant to the terms of this subsection shall be conducted only by the Acceptable Accountants at the offices of Landlord’s property manager. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Tenant shall be entitled to exercise its audit right pursuant to this subsection only in strict accordance with the foregoing procedures no more often than once per calendar year and each such audit shall relate only to the calendar year most recently ended. In the event that Tenant fails to notify Landlord within the foregoing 90-day period that Tenant objects to the Statement, then Tenant’s right to audit such year’s Statement shall be null and void.
