including expenses, interest and attorney's fees.
13. COMMON AREA MAINTENANCE COST. (a) Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord,
upon taking occupancy of Premises, as Additional Rent hereunder, throughout the
Term, including any extensions or renewals thereof, for Tenant's Share (as
defined below) of the annual Common Area Maintenance Costs (as defined in
subparagraph (b) below which is estimated to be .52 cents per square foot for
1995) of the Building and related common and areas, including the parking areas.
The Common Area Maintenance Cost per square foot of the Building shall be
determined by dividing the total Common Area Maintenance Costs incurred for the
calendar year in question and dividing it by the total number of rentable square
feet in the buildings located on the Property as described in Exhibit "A", but
in no event shall Landlord be reimbursed for more than the total Common Area
Maintenance Cost actually incurred during the year in question. Tenant's pro
rata share of the Common Area Maintenance Cost shall be determined by
multiplying such amount by the number of rentable square feet contained with- in
the Premises (hereinafter called "Tenant's Share"). Landlord and Tenant hereby
conclusively agree that, for purposes of this Paragraph 13, the gross square
footage of the Premises is 7,000 gross square feet and the gross square feet of
the Property is 39,763, square feet and Tenant's Share shall be determined based
on such amounts. For purposes of calculation, the gross area leased to Tenant
shall be 17.60% of the entire Property. If the size of the Property or the
Premises is changed, the parties hereby agree to recalculate Tenant's Share
following such change.
(b) Common Area Maintenance Cost shall be
all those expenses of operating, servicing, managing, repairing and maintaining
the Property in a first-class manner deemed by Landlord reasonable and
appropriate and in the best interest of the tenants of the Property. Common Area
Maintenance Cost shall include, without limitation the following: (i) the wages
and salaries of all employees engaged in the operation and maintenance of the
Property; (ii) materials used in the operations and maintenance of the Property
(iii) the cost of maintenance and service agreements on landscaping, grounds
maintenance, trash and snow removal, and other similar services or agreements;
(iv) management expense, including, without limitation, management fees and
expenses whether paid to Landlord, if Landlord manages the Property or to a
third party management company; (v) the costs, including interest, amortized
over its useful life, of any capital improvement made to the Property to comply
with any governmental law or regulation that was not applicable to the Property
at the time of its construction, designed to improve the operating efficiency of
any system within the building or it is made or acquired to maintain the
first-class nature of the Property; (vi) common area utility cost.
(c) As soon as practicable after December
31 of each year during the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall furnish to Tenant
an itemized statement of such Common Area Maintenance Cost per rentable square
foot within the Property for the calendar year then ended. Tenant may have
access to Landlord's records, during normal business hours and at the place
where Landlord keeps such records, in order to audit or otherwise verify such
expenses. (i) On or before January 1 of each calendar year thereafter, Landlord
shall provide Tenant a written estimate of Tenants Share of annual Common Area
Maintenance Cost for the upcoming calendar year. Beginning with the first month
of each calendar year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, together with monthly
payment of Base Rent as provided in Paragraph 3 hereinabove as Additional Rent
hereunder, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the estimated Tenant's
Share (as shown in Landlord's statement) of Common Area Maintenance Cost. In the
event
at the end of any calendar year, Tenant has paid to Landlord an amount in excess
of Tenant's Share of any actual Common Area Maintenance Cost for such calendar
year, Landlord shall apply any such amount to any amount then owing to Landlord
hereunder, and if none, to the next due installment or installments of Rent due
hereunder and in tthe event at the end of any calendar year Tenant has paid to
Landlord less than Tenant's Share of any actual Common Area Maintenance Cost for
such calendar year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord any such deficiency within
thirty (30) days after Tenant receives the annual statement referred to above.
(ii) For the calendar year in which the Commencement Date occurs, the provisions
of this paragraph shall apply, but Tenant's Share for such year shall be subject
to a pro rata adjustment based upon the number of full and partial calendar
months of said calendar year between the Commencement Date and December 31 of
such calendar year. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant, on or before the
Commencement Date, the estimated Tenant's Share for the calendar year in which
the Commencement Date occurs and Tenant shall pay an equal monthly installment
of such estimated amount along with Tenant's monthly payment of Base Rent. For
the calendar year in which this Lease expires, and is not extended or renewed,
the provisions of this paragraph shall apply, but Tenant's Share for such year
shall be subject to a pro rata adjustment based upon the number of full and
partial calendar months of said calendar year prior to the expiration of the
Term of this Lease and shall be computed as soon as possible after December 31
of the calendar year in which such expiration occurs. If the prorated Tenant's
Share for the final calendar year differs from the estimated monthly payments
made by Tenant as required herein, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, or Landlord
shall pay to Tenant, as the case may be, within thirty (30) days after
Landlord's delivery of the applicable Operating Expense statement the amount by
which Tenant's Share (as prorated) differs from the estimated payments made by
Tenant.
(d) TAX AND INSURANCE. Upon taking
occupancy of Premises, Tenant shall pay monthly as Additional Rent during the
term of this Lease, and any extension or renewal thereof, Tenant's Share of
taxes (including; but not limited to ad valorem taxes, special assessments and
any other governmental charges) on the Premises as calculated in Sub Paragraph
13(a). Based upon the estimated taxation payable for 1995 which is $22,600.00,
Tenant shall be liable for a monthly amount of Tenant's Share of taxation in the
amount $331.46. If such taxes for the year in which the Lease terminates are not
ascertainable before payment of the last month's rental, then the amount of such
taxes assessed against the Property for the previous tax year shall be used as a
basis for determining the pro rata share, if any, to be paid by Tenant for that
portion of the last Lease year. Tenant shall further pay monthly its Tenant's
Share of the cost of fire and extended coverage insurance including any and all
public liability insurance on the building during the term of this Lease. Based
upon the estimated insurance payable for 1995 which is approximately $1,192.89,
Tenant shall be liable for a monthly amount of Tenant's Share of insurance in
the amount of $17.50.
14. LANDLORD'S FAILURE TO GIVE POSSESSION. Landlord shall not be liable for
damages to Tenant for failure to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant if
such failure is caused by no fault of Landlord, by the failure of Tenant to
