LEASE NO. 36C-24W25L0014, PAGE 6 LESSOR: ________ GOVERNMENT: ________ GSA TEMPLATE L100

C. The Lessor has offered free rent for the first XX (X) months of the Lease (free rent includes shell, operating, TI, BSAC and parking rent).

Therefore, the first XX (X) months of the Lease shall be provided at no cost to the Government.

D. In instances where the Lessor amortizes either the TI or Building Specific Amortized Capital (BSAC) for a period exceeding the Firm Term of the

Lease, should the Government terminate the Lease after the Firm Term or does not otherwise renew or extend the term beyond the Firm Term, the Government shall not be liable for any costs, including unamortized costs beyond the Firm Term.

E. Rent is subject to adjustment based upon a mutual on-site measurement of the Space upon acceptance, not to exceed XX ABOA SF based upon the methodology outlined under the “Payment” clause of GSA 3517, General Clauses.

F. Rent is subject to adjustment based upon the final Tenant Improvement (TI) cost to be amortized in the rental rate, as agreed upon by the parties subsequent to the Lease Award Date.

Rent is subject to adjustment upon reconciliation from quantities in the Lease to the approved DIDs and post-DID change orders, based on unit prices negotiated and agreed upon prior to Lease award.

G. Rent is subject to adjustment based on the final Building Specific Amortized Capital (BSAC) cost to be amortized in the rental rate, as agreed upon by the parties subsequent to the Lease Award Date.

H. If the Government leases the Premises for less than a full calendar month, then rent shall be prorated based on the actual number of days leased for that month.

I. Rent shall be paid to Lessor by electronic funds transfer (EFT) in accordance with the provisions of the General Clauses. Rent shall be payable using the EFT information contained in the System for Award Management (SAM). In the event the EFT information changes, the Lessor shall be responsible for providing the updated information to SAM. Failure by the Lessor to maintain an active registration in SAM may result in delay of rental payments until such time as the SAM registration is activated.

J. Lessor shall provide to the Government, in exchange for the payment of rental and other specified consideration, the following:

1. The leasehold interest in the Property described herein in the paragraph entitled “The Premises.”

2. All costs, expenses and fees to perform the work required for acceptance of the Premises in accordance with this Lease, including all costs for labor, materials, and equipment, professional fees, subcontractor fees, attorney fees, permit fees, inspection fees, and similar such fees, and all related expenses.

3. Performance or satisfaction of all other obligations set forth in this Lease; and all services, utilities, and maintenance required for the proper operation of the Property, the Building, and the Premises in accordance with the terms of the Lease, including, but not limited to, all inspections, modifications, repairs, replacements, and improvements required to be made thereto to meet the requirements of this Lease.Performance or satisfaction of all other obligations set forth in this Lease; and all services, utilities (with the exclusion of XX), maintenance required for the proper operation of the Property, the Building, and the Leased Premises, in accordance with the terms of the Lease, including, but not limited to, all inspections, modifications, repairs, replacements and improvements required to be made thereto to meet the requirements of this Lease. The Government shall be responsible for paying the cost of XX directly to the utility provider. The Lessor shall ensure that such utilities are separately metered. The Lessor shall provide and install as part of shell rent, separate meters for utilities. Sub-meters are not acceptable. The Lessor shall furnish in writing to the LCO, prior to occupancy by the Government, a record of the meter numbers and verification that the meters measure Government usage only. Proration is not permissible. In addition, an automatic control system shall be provided to assure compliance with heating, ventilation, and air conditioning requirements.

K. For succeeding Leases with an incumbent Lessor where the Government is currently in occupancy and possession of the leased Premises and where the Lease requires the Lessor to perform alterations using either the TIA or BSAC, the amortized tenant improvement rent and/or BSAC rent will not commence until the alterations are complete and accepted by the Government. Upon acceptance of these improvements, the Government will commence payment of the tenant improvement and/or BSAC rent as stipulated under the Lease, in addition to payment of the tenant improvement and/or BSAC rent for the period starting from the Lease Term Commencement Date to the date of tenant improvements/BSAC acceptance by the Government (such rent payment will not include any additional interest). Alternatively, the Government may elect to re-amortize the tenant improvements/BSAC over the remaining Firm Term of the Lease, at the amortization rate stipulated in the Lease. In the event the Government does not use all the TIA or BSAC, then the rental payments will be adjusted in accordance with the provisions of the Lease (e.g., de-amortization).
