Common use of Cost Pools Clause in Contracts

Cost Pools. The parties acknowledge that certain of the costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Project (i.e., the Direct Expenses) should be separately allocated to the office space and the Retail Space. Direct Expenses shall be allocated between the office space and Retail Space (each, a “Cost Pool”) based on the estimated benefit derived by the space which is the subject of the Cost Pool, and such allocations shall be reasonably determined by Landlord. Accordingly, Direct Expenses shall be charged to the Retail Space and the office space by virtue of the creation of Cost Pools. Direct Expenses which apply equally to the Retail Space and the office space (such as Landlord’s insurance costs), as reasonably determined by Landlord, shall be allocated to the office space Cost Pool and the Retail Space Cost Pool based on the square footage of each of those spaces, respectively, compared to the total square footage of the applicable Building. After the date of this Lease, if Tenant ceases to lease the entirety of the initial Premises, Landlord may reasonably establish additional Cost Pools in connection with any new leases of the Project, such as a life sciences Cost Pool. Any costs allocated to a Cost Pool (e.g. the Retail Space Cost Pool) which does not include a portion of the Premises shall be excluded from the definition of Direct Expenses for the purposes of this Lease.
