Common use of Cost of Utilities Clause in Contracts

Cost of Utilities. All costs associated with bringing required utilities from the point of origin to the point of connection at the Improvements, including, without limitation, related professional, engineering and consultant fees, service charges, meters, and the costs of connections, including, without limitation, any hook-up fees or increased capacity charges assessed by any utility company, water district and/or government agency, shall be paid by Tenant except as provided above in Section 8.1 with respect to the common infrastructure facilities. Tenant shall be responsible for paying all costs associated with bringing required utilities from the point of origin to the point of connection at the Improvements (including, without limitation, a sewer assessment charge) regardless of whether a utility company, water district, and/or government agency imposes any related assessment on the University campus as a whole or on Tenant directly. If any such charge is imposed on the University campus as a whole, the University shall allocate these charges equitably among all utility users on the campus, including Tenant, based on relative usage. In making such allocation, University agrees to not treat the Tenant in a discriminatory manner. In no event shall Tenant be charged twice for the same assessment.
