Tenant agrees to pay its Allocable Share of the Reimbursable Operating Costs as additional rental within thirty (30) days of written invoice from Landlord.

Landlord shall have no obligation to provide guard services or other security measures for the benefit of the Project. Tenant assumes all responsibility for the protection of Tenant and Tenants Agents from acts of third parties; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent Landlord, at its sole option, from providing security measures for the Project. This is a Net Lease, meaning that Base Monthly Rent is paid to Landlord absolutely net of all costs and expenses, except as provided otherwise herein. The provision for payment of Reimbursable Operating Costs by means of periodic payment of Tenants Allocable Share of Building and/or Project Costs is intended to pass on to Tenant and reimburse Landlord for all costs of operating and managing the Building and/or Project. The provisions of the Section 8 notwithstanding, if the any capital improvements or repairs, including without limitation, roof membrane or the HVAC system requires replacement during the Lease Term, then Tenant shall make such replacement and the cost of such replacement shall be allocated as follows: Landlord and Tenant shall establish the useful life of the replacement or repair based upon the useful life of the replacement or repair in months. Landlord shall within ten (10) days reimburse Tenant for the cost of the replacement less the product of such total cost multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of years remaining in the Lease Term, the denominator of which is the useful life (in years) of the replacement. Notwithstanding anything in this lease to the contrary, Reimbursable Operating Cost shall not include (i) costs incurred in connection with the original construction of the Building; (ii) costs of correcting defects in or inadequacy of the initial design or construction of the Building; (iii) fines, penalties, ground-lease rental or interest; (iv) expenses resulting from the negligence of Landlord, its agents, servants or employees or from another tenant of the Project; (v) bad debt loss, rent loss or reserves of any kind; (vi) costs associated with the operation of the business of the partnership which constitutes Landlord (as distinguished from costs of operation of the Building), including without limitation, partnership accounting and legal matters, cost of defending lawsuits, or cost of financing; (vii) fees (including legal) or commissions incurred in connection with leasing the Project; (viii) cost for which Landlord is reimbursed by another tenant or occupant of the Project; (ix) wages and benefits of any employee who does not devote substantially all of his or her time to the Building; (x) costs paid to Landlord or to affiliates of Landlord for services in the building to the extent the same exceed or would exceed the costs for such services if rendered by unaffiliated third parties on a competitive basis; (xi) net income, inheritance, gift or estate tax; (xii) Landlords general corporate overhead and general administrative expenses; (xiii) any management fees; (xiv) any Project Costs associated with the development, improvement, construction, repair, maintenance, ownership or operation of Lot 1 or Lot B, except as specifically provided in the Declaration as to be shared between the Commercial Owner and the Residential Owner, as defined in the Declaration.
Tenant shall have the right, at Tenants expense and not more than once every 12 months, upon not less than twenty (20) days prior written notice to Landlord, to review, at reasonable times in Landlords office or at another reasonable location designated by Landlord, Landlords books and records applicable to this Lease and for the prior years Reimbursable Operating Costs, for purposes of reviewing Landlords expenditures and Landlords calculation of such Reimbursable Operating Costs. In the event that Tenant disputes any amount charged to Tenant, Tenant shall further have the right to have Landlords books and records with respect to such costs for such fiscal year to be audited by a certified public accountant selected by Tenant. Tenants Allocable Share of such Reimbursable Operating Cost shall be appropriately adjusted on the basis of such audit. If such audit discloses a liability for a
Page 14
refund in excess of five (5%) percent of Tenants Allocable Share of Reimbursable Operating Costs previously paid, the reasonable cost of such audit shall be borne by Landlord; otherwise, the cost of such audit shall be paid by Tenant.
E. Tenants Allocable Share: For purposes of prorating Reimbursable Operating Costs which Tenant shall pay, Tenants Allocable Share of Reimbursable Operating Costs shall be computed by multiplying the Reimbursable Operating Costs by a fraction, the numerator of which is the rentable square footage of the Premises and the denominator of which is either the total rentable square footage of the Building if the service or cost is allocable only to the Building, or the total rentable square footage of the Project if the service or cost is allocable to the entire Project. Tenants obligation to share in Reimbursable Operating Costs shall be adjusted to reflect the Lease Commencement and Expiration dates and subject to recalculation in the event of expansion of the Building or Project.
F. Waiver of Liability: Failure by Landlord to perform any defined services, or any cessation thereof, when such failure is caused by accident, breakage, repairs, strikes, lockout or other labor disturbances or labor disputes of any character or by any other cause, similar or dissimilar, shall not render Landlord liable to Tenant in any respect, including damages to either person or property, nor be construed as an eviction of Tenant, nor cause an abatement of rent, nor relieve Tenant from fulfillment of any covenant or agreement hereof. Should any equipment or machinery utilized in supplying the services listed herein break down or for any cause cease to function properly, upon receipt of written notice from Tenant of any deficiency or failure of any services, Landlord shall use reasonable diligence to repair the same promptly, but Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease and shall have no claim for rebate of rent or damages on account of any interruptions in service occasioned thereby or resulting therefrom. Tenant waives the provisions of California Civil Code Sections 1941 and 1942 concerning the Landlords obligation of tenantability and Tenants right to make repairs and deduct the cost of such repairs from the rent. Landlord shall not be liable for a loss of or injury to person or property, however occurring, through or in connection with or incidental to furnishing, or its failure to furnish, any of the foregoing.
