3.04       TENANT’S proportionate share of taxes over the Tax Base of $301,436.80 will be determined as tax bills are received. TENANT’S share (4.5%), once calculated shall be paid to the LANDLORD together with each installment of Basic Annual Rent. As soon as practicable following the receipt by LANDLORD of a new tax bill, (i.e., after January 1, 2006 for the General Tax and October 1, 2006 for the School Tax), said amount shall be recalculated either upward or downward and LANDLORD shall send TENANT a notice of such recalculation, together with a copy of the official tax bill, and TENANT shall, within fifteen (15) days of LANDLORD’S notice, pay the LANDLORD the monthly difference times the number of months for which TENANT has paid rent during the then calendar year. In the event TENANT has overpaid LANDLORD, LANDLORD shall together with such notice, refund the overpayment to TENANT. Thereafter, TENANT shall continue to pay last ascertained tax increase to LANDLORD until a new tax increase has been ascertained, at which time a similar adjustment shall be made.

 

3.05       Should LANDLORD receive the benefit of any exemption or abatement under RPTL 485-B or any other exemption or abatement granted by the applicable taxing jurisdiction the benefit of such exemption shall belong solely to LANDLORD and shall not otherwise affect the computation made herein or the amounts to be paid by TENANT and all calculations shall be made as if no such exemption had been obtained.

 

3.06       If at the time any taxes or installments thereof are required to be paid, the amount of monthly installments paid by TENANT are insufficient to pay TENANT’S Proportionate Share of the amount in excess of the Tax Base, TENANT shall pay the deficiency within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor. In the event of any excess, such amount shall be credited toward the next payments coming due from TENANT hereunder until the expiration of the Lease, at which time if LANDLORD is holding any excess amounts, and provided TENANT is not in default under any terms, covenants and conditions hereof, same shall be returned to TENANT.

 

3.07       Should the taxing authority impose any additional Taxes or increase the assessed value by reason of any improvements made by or for TENANT, or include machinery, equipment, fixtures, inventory or other personal property or assets of TENANT, then TENANT shall pay the entire tax attributable to such items. Payments of these items of taxes shall be made by the LANDLORD and reimbursed by the TENANT to the LANDLORD no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the date the same are due and payable to the appropriate taxing authorities.

 

3.08       LANDLORD may contest the validity or the amount of the assessed valuation of the premises of which the Demised Premises are a part.

As used herein, the term “net refund” shall mean the refund plus interest, if any, thereon, paid by governmental authority less costs for appraisal, engineering, expert testimony, attorney, printing and filing fees and all other costs and expenses of the proceeding.

 

3.09       In no event shall the TENANT have the right to participate in nor institute any such proceeding, it being understood that the commencement, settlement, or conduct thereof shall be in the sole discretion of the LANDLORD.

 

3.10       Wherever in this Article or elsewhere in this Lease reference is made to TENANT’S Proportionate Share, same shall be deemed to mean 4.5% (percent).

 

ARTICLE IV

UTILITIES AND UTILITY CHARGES

 

4.01       TENANT understands that all utilities, including electrical, water and gas, will be supplied to the Building by the applicable utility company or district and that the LANDLORD shall not be responsible for any failure of service. LANDLORD agrees, however, that the costs for such utilities are included in TENANT’S Basic Annual Rent provided hereunder and that in the event TENANT shall be in default of Rent or Additional Rent beyond its time to cure, LANDLORD shall have the right to suspend all utility services to the demised Premises.
