3.	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.

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).

TENANT IMPROVEMENT rental adjustment (OCT 2016)

A.	The Tenant Improvement Allowance (TIA) for purposes of this Lease is $XX.XX per ABOA SF. The TIA is the amount that the Lessor shall make available for the Government to be used for TIs. This amount is amortized in the rent over the Firm Term of this Lease at an annual interest rate of X percent.

B.	The Government, at its sole discretion, shall make all decisions as to the use of the TIA. The Government may use all or part of the TIA. The Government may return to the Lessor any unused portion of the TIA in exchange for a decrease in rent according to the agreed-upon amortization rate over the Firm Term.

C.	The Government may elect to make lump sum payments for any or all work covered by the TIA. That part of the TIA amortized in the rent shall be reduced accordingly. At any time after occupancy and during the Firm Term of the Lease, the Government, at its sole discretion, may elect to pay lump sum for any part or all of the remaining unpaid amortized balance of the TIA. If the Government elects to make a lump sum payment for the TIA after occupancy, the payment of the TIA by the Government will result in a decrease in the rent according to the amortization rate over the Firm Term of the Lease.

D.	If it is anticipated that the Government will spend more than the identified TIA, the Government may elect to:

1.	Reduce the TI requirements;

2.	Pay lump sum for the overage upon substantial completion in accordance with the “Acceptance of Space and Certificate of Occupancy” paragraph;

3.	Negotiate an increase in the rent.

A.	The Lessor has agreed to total TI pricing of $XX,XXX based on the Agency’s Requirements and design schematic included in Exhibit X. This amount is amortized in the rent over the Firm Term of this Lease at an interest rate of X percent per year.

B.	The TI Unit Prices listed in Exhibit X will be used to make the adjustment for variances between TI turnkey pricing based on the Agency’s Requirements and the approved design intent drawings. The prices quoted will also be used to order alterations during the first year of the Lease. The prices quoted shall be the cost to furnish, install, and maintain each item, unless otherwise specified. These prices may be indexed or renegotiated to apply to subsequent years of the Lease upon mutual agreement of the Lessor and the Government. Final rent calculations will be reconciled and the Lease will be amended after acceptance of the Space.

C.	The Government may elect to make lump sum payments for any or all work covered by the TI scope. That part of the TI amortized in the rent shall be reduced accordingly. At any time after occupancy and during the Firm Term of the Lease, the Government, at its sole discretion, may elect to pay lump sum for any part or all of the remaining unpaid amortized balance of the TI. If the Government elects to make a lump sum payment for the TI after occupancy, the payment of the TI by the Government will result in a decrease in the rent according to the amortization rate over the Firm Term of the Lease.

DEFINITIONS AND General Terms (OCT 2016)

Unless otherwise specifically noted, all terms and conditions set forth in this Lease shall be interpreted by reference to the following definitions, standards, and formulas:

Appurtenant Areas. Appurtenant Areas are defined as those areas and facilities on the Property that are not located within the Premises, but for which rights are expressly granted under this Lease, or for which rights to use are reasonably necessary or reasonably anticipated with respect to the Government's enjoyment of the Premises and express appurtenant rights.

Broker. If GSA awarded this Lease using a contract real estate broker, Broker shall refer to GSA's broker.

Common Area Factor. The “Common Area Factor” (CAF) is a conversion factor determined by the Building owner and applied by the owner to the ABOA SF to determine the RSF for the leased Space. The CAF is expressed as a percentage of the difference between the amount of rentable SF and ABOA SF, divided by the ABOA SF. For example 11,500 RSF and 10,000 ABOA SF will have a CAF of 15% [(11,500 RSF-10,000 ABOA SF)/10,000 ABOA SF]. For the purposes of this Lease, the CAF shall be determined in accordance with the applicable ANSI/‌BOMA standard for the type of space to which the CAF shall apply.

Contract. “Contract” shall mean this Lease.

Contractor. “Contractor” shall mean Lessor.

Days. All references to “day” or “days” in this Lease shall mean calendar days, unless specified otherwise.

FAR. All references to the FAR shall be understood to mean the Federal Acquisition Regulation, codified at 48 CFR Chapter 1.

It is determined by the Building owner and may vary by city or by building within the same city. The Rentable Space may include a share of Building support/common areas such as elevator lobbies, Building corridors, and floor service areas. Floor service areas typically include restrooms, janitor rooms, telephone closets, electrical closets, and mechanical rooms. The Rentable Space does not include vertical building penetrations and their enclosing walls, such as stairs, elevator shafts, and vertical ducts. Rentable Square Feet is calculated using the following formula for each type of Space (e.g., office, warehouse, etc.) included in the Premises: ABOA SF of Space x (1 + CAF) = RSF.

If title is transferred, the Lessor shall notify the Government within five days of the transfer of title.

B.	The Government and the Lessor may execute a Change of Name Agreement if the Lessor is changing only its legal name, and the Government's and the Lessor's respective rights and obligations remain unaffected.

C.	If title to the Property is transferred, the Government, the original Lessor (Transferor), and the new owner or assignee (Transferee) shall execute a Novation Agreement providing for the transfer of Transferor's rights and obligations under the Lease to the Transferee.

The original Lessor must maintain an active registration in SAM until the Novation process is complete.

REAL ESTATE TAX ADJUSTMENT (JUN 2012)

A.	Purpose: This paragraph provides for adjustment in the rent (tax adjustment) to account for increases or decreases in Real Estate Taxes for the Property after the establishment of the Real Estate Tax Base, as those terms are defined herein. Tax adjustments shall be calculated in accordance with this paragraph.

B.	Definitions: The following definitions apply to the use of the terms within this paragraph:

Property is defined as the land and Buildings in which the Premises are located, including all Appurtenant Areas (e.g., parking areas to which the Government is granted rights).

Real Estate Taxes are those taxes that are levied upon the owners of real property by a Taxing Authority (as hereinafter defined) of a state or local Government on an ad valorem basis to raise general revenue for funding the provision of government services. The term excludes, without limitation, special assessments for specific purposes, assessments for business improvement districts, and/or community development assessments.

Taxing Authority is a state, commonwealth, territory, county, city, parish, or political subdivision thereof, authorized by law to levy, assess, and collect Real Estate Taxes.

Tax Year refers to the 12-month period adopted by a Taxing Authority as its fiscal year for assessing Real Estate Taxes on an annual basis.

Tax Abatement is an authorized reduction in the Lessor's liability for Real Estate Taxes below that determined by applying the generally applicable real estate tax rate to the Fully Assessed (as hereinafter defined) valuation of the Property.

Unadjusted Real Estate Taxes are the full amount of Real Estate Taxes that would be assessed for the Property for one full Tax Year without regard to the Lessor's entitlement to any Tax Abatements (except if such Tax Abatement came into effect after the date of award of the Lease), and not including any late charges, interest or penalties. If a Tax Abatement comes into effect after the date of award of the Lease, "unadjusted Real Estate Taxes" are the full amount of Real Estate Taxes assessed for the Property for one full Tax Year, less the amount of such Tax Abatement, and not including any late charges, interest, or penalties.

Real Estate Tax Base is the unadjusted Real Estate Taxes for the first full Tax Year following the commencement of the Lease term. If the Real Estate Taxes for that Tax Year are not based upon a Full Assessment of the Property, then the Real Estate Tax Base shall be the Unadjusted Real Estate Taxes for the Property for the first full Tax Year for which the Real Estate Taxes are based upon a Full Assessment. Such first full Tax Year may be hereinafter referred to as the Tax Base Year. Alternatively, the Real Estate Tax Base may be an amount negotiated by the parties that reflects an agreed upon base for a Fully Assessed value of the Property.

The Property is deemed to be Fully Assessed (and Real Estate Taxes are deemed to be based on a Full Assessment) only when a Taxing Authority has, for the purpose of determining the Lessor's liability for Real Estate Taxes, determined a value for the Property taking into account the value of all improvements contemplated for the Property pursuant to the Lease, and issued to the Lessor a tax bill or other notice of levy wherein the Real Estate Taxes for the full Tax Year are based upon such Full Assessment. At no time prior to the issuance of such a bill or notice shall the Property be deemed Fully Assessed.

Percentage of Occupancy refers to that portion of the Property exclusively occupied or used by the Government pursuant to the Lease. For Buildings, the Percentage of Occupancy is determined by calculating the ratio of the RSF occupied by the Government pursuant to the Lease to the total RSF in the Building or Buildings so occupied, and shall not take into account the Government's ancillary rights including, but not limited to, parking or roof space for antennas (unless facilities for such ancillary rights are separately assessed). This percentage shall be subject to adjustment to take into account increases or decreases for Space leased by the Government or for rentable space on the Property.

C.	Adjustment for changes in Real Estate Taxes. After the Property is Fully Assessed, the Government shall pay its share of any increases and shall receive its share of any decreases in the Real Estate Taxes for the Property, such share of increases or decreases to be referred to herein as "tax adjustment." The amount of the tax adjustment shall be determined by multiplying the Government's Percentage of Occupancy by the difference between the current year Unadjusted Real Estate Taxes and the Real Estate Tax Base, less the portion of such difference not paid due to a Tax Abatement (except if a Tax Abatement comes into effect after the date of award of the Lease). If a Tax Abatement comes into effect after the date of award of the Lease, the amount of the tax adjustment shall be determined by multiplying the Government's Percentage of Occupancy by the difference between the current year Unadjusted Real Estate Taxes and the Real Estate Tax Base. The Government shall pay the tax adjustment in a single annual lump sum payment to the Lessor. In the event that this tax adjustment results in a credit owed to the Government, the Government may elect to receive payment in the form of a rental credit or lump sum payment.

If the Property contains more than one separately assessed parcel, then more than one tax adjustment shall be determined based upon the Percentage of Occupancy, Real Estate Tax Base, and Real Estate Taxes for each respective parcel.

After commencement of the Lease term, the Lessor shall provide to the LCO copies of all real estate tax bills for the Property, all documentation of Tax Abatements, credits, or refunds, if any, and all notices which may affect the assessed valuation of the Property, for the Tax Year prior to the commencement of the Lease Term, and all such documentation for every year following. Lessor acknowledges that the LCO shall rely on the completeness and accuracy of these submissions in order to establish the Real Estate Tax Base and to determine tax adjustments. The LCO may memorialize the establishment of the Real Estate Tax Base by issuing a unilateral administrative lease amendment indicating the base year, the amount of the Real Estate Tax Base, and the Government's Percentage of Occupancy.

The Real Estate Tax Base is subject to adjustment when increases or decreases to Real Estate Taxes in any Tax Year are attributable to (a) improvements or renovations to the Property not required by this Lease, or (b) changes in net operating income for the Property not derived from this Lease. If either condition results in a change to the Real Estate Taxes, the LCO may re-establish the Real Estate Tax Base as the Unadjusted Real Estate Taxes for the Tax Year the Property is reassessed under such condition, less the amount by which the Unadjusted Real Estate Taxes for the Tax Year prior to reassessment exceeds the prior Real Estate Tax Base.

If this Lease includes any options to renew the term of the Lease, or be otherwise extended, the Real Estate Tax Base for determining tax adjustments during the renewal term or extension shall be the last Real Estate Tax Base established during the base term of the Lease.

If any Real Estate Taxes for the Property are retroactively reduced by a Taxing Authority during the term of the Lease, the Government shall be entitled to a proportional share of any tax refunds to which the Lessor is entitled, calculated in accordance with this Paragraph. Lessor acknowledges that it has an affirmative duty to disclose to the Government any decreases in the Real Estate Taxes paid for the Property during the term of the Lease. Lessor shall annually provide to the LCO all relevant tax records for determining whether a tax adjustment is due, irrespective of whether it seeks an adjustment in any Tax Year.

If the Lease terminates before the end of a Tax Year, or if rent has been suspended, payment for the real estate tax increase due because of this section for the Tax Year will be prorated based on the number of days that the Lease and the rent were in effect. Any credit due the Government after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease shall be made by a lump sum payment to the Government or as a rental credit to any succeeding Lease, as determined in the LCO's sole discretion. Lessor shall remit any lump sum payment to the Government within 15 calendar days of payment or credit by the Taxing Authority to Lessor or Lessor’s designee. If the credit due to the Government is not paid by the due date, interest shall accrue on the late payment at the rate established by the Secretary of the Treasury under Section 12 of the Contract Disputes Act of 1978, as amended (41 USC § 611), that is in effect on the day after the due date. The interest penalty shall accrue daily on the amount of the credit and shall be compounded in 30day increments inclusive from the first day after the due date through the payment date. The Government shall have the right to pursue the outstanding balance of any tax credit using all such collection methods as are available to the United States to collect debts. Such collection rights shall survive the expiration of this Lease.

In order to obtain a tax adjustment, the Lessor shall furnish the LCO with copies of all paid tax receipts, or other similar evidence of payment acceptable to the LCO, and a proper invoice (as described in GSA Form 3517, General Clauses, 552.270-31, Prompt Payment) for the requested tax adjustment, including the calculation thereof. All such documents must be received by the LCO within 60 calendar days after the last date the real estate tax payment is due from the Lessor to the Taxing Authority without payment of penalty or interest. FAILURE TO SUBMIT THE PROPER INVOICE AND EVIDENCE OF PAYMENT WITHIN SUCH TIME FRAME SHALL CONSTITUTE A WAIVER OF THE LESSOR’S RIGHT TO RECEIVE A TAX ADJUSTMENT PURSUANT TO THIS PARAGRAPH FOR THE TAX YEAR AFFECTED.

Tax Appeals. If the Government occupies more than 50 percent of the Building by virtue of this and any other Government Lease(s), the Government may, upon reasonable notice, direct the Lessor to initiate a tax appeal, or the Government may elect to contest the assessed valuation on its own behalf or jointly on behalf of Government and the Lessor. If the Government elects to contest the assessed valuation on its own behalf or on behalf of the Government and the Lessor, the Lessor shall cooperate fully with this effort, including, without limitation, furnishing to the Government information necessary to contest the assessed valuation in accordance with the filing requirements of the Taxing Authority, executing documents, providing documentary and testimonial evidence, and verifying the accuracy and completeness of records. If the Lessor initiates an appeal at the direction of the Government, the Government shall have the right to approve the selection of counsel who shall represent the Lessor with regard to such appeal, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and the Lessor shall be entitled to a credit in the amount of its reasonable expenses in pursuing the appeal.

ADJUSTMENT FOR VACANT PREMISES (OCT 2017)

If the Government fails to occupy any portion of the leased Premises or vacates the Premises in whole or in part prior to expiration of the term of the Lease, the rental rate and the base for operating cost adjustments will be reduced using the figure specified in the “Rate for Adjustment for Vacant Leased Premises” paragraph of this Lease.

If no rate reduction has been established in this Lease, the rate will be reduced by that portion of the costs per ABOA SF of operating expenses not required to maintain the Space.

Said reduction shall occur after the Government gives 30 calendar days’ prior notice to the Lessor and shall continue in effect until the Government occupies the vacant Premises or the Lease expires or is terminated.

OPERATING COSTS ADJUSTMENT (JUN 2012)

A.	Beginning with the second year of the Lease and each year thereafter, the Government shall pay annual incremental adjusted rent for changes in costs for cleaning services, supplies, materials, maintenance, trash removal, landscaping, water, sewer charges, heating, electricity, and certain administrative expenses attributable to occupancy.

B.	The amount of adjustment will be determined by multiplying the base rate by the annual percent of change in the Cost of Living Index. The percent change will be computed by comparing the index figure published for the month prior to the Lease Term Commencement Date with the index figure published for the month prior which begins each successive 12-month period. For example, a Lease which commences in June of 2005 would use the index published for May of 2005, and that figure would be compared with the index published for May of 2006, May of 2007, and so on, to determine the percent change. The Cost of Living Index will be measured by the Department of Labor revised Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W), U.S. city average, all items, (1982 to 1984 = 100) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Payment will be made with the monthly installment of fixed rent. Rental adjustments will be effective on the anniversary date of the Lease; however, payment of the adjusted rental rate will become due on the first workday of the second month following the publication of the Cost of Living Index for the month prior to the commencement of each 12month period.

C.	In the event of any decreases in the Cost of Living Index occurring during the term of the occupancy under the Lease, the rental amount will be reduced accordingly. The amount of such reductions will be determined in the same manner as increases in rent provided under this paragraph.

D.	If the Government exercises an option to extend the Lease term at the same rate as that of the original term, the option price will be based on the adjustment during the original term. Annual adjustments will continue.

additionAL POST-AWARD financial And Technical DELIVERABLES (JUN 2012)

If the Lessor is a HUBZone small business concern (SBC) that did not waive the price evaluation preference, the Lessor shall provide a certification within 10 days after Lease award to the LCO (or representative designated by the LCO) that the Lessor was an eligible HUBZone SBC on the date of award. If it is determined within 20 days after award that a HUBZone SBC Offeror that has been awarded the Lease was not an eligible HUBZone SBC at the time of award, and the HUBZone SBC Lessor failed to provide the LCO with information regarding a change to its HUBZone eligibility prior to award, then the Lease shall be subject, at the LCO's discretion, to termination, and the Government will be relieved of all obligations to the Lessor in such an event and not be liable to the Lessor for any costs, claims or damages of any nature whatsoever.

Within XX days after Lease award, the Lessor shall provide to the LCO (or representative designated by the LCO) evidence of:

Lessor must provide the Government with a summary report demonstrating completion of all required response actions prior to Substantial Completion. Any remediation performed by or on behalf of Lessor must be undertaken in strict compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations.

B.	National Environmental Policy Act

The National Environmental Policy Act regulations provide for analyzing proposed major federal actions to determine if there are ways to mitigate the impact of the proposed actions to avoid, minimize, rectify, reduce, or compensate for environmental impacts associated with such actions. Where the Government has determined that any or all of these mitigation measures should be or must be adopted to lessen the impact of these proposed actions, Lessor must incorporate all mitigation measures identified and adopted by the Government in the design and construction drawings and specifications. All costs and expenses for development of design alternatives, mitigation measures and review submittals for work to be performed under the Lease are the sole responsibility of Lessor.

NATIONAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION ACT REQUIREMENTS - LEASE (SEP 2014)

A.	Where a Memorandum of Agreement or other pre-award agreement concluding the Section 106 consultation includes mitigation, design review or other continuing responsibilities of the Government, Lessor must allow the Government access to the Property to carry out compliance activities. Compliance may require excavation for artifact recovery, recordation and interpretation. For Tenant Improvements and other tenant-driven alterations within an existing historic building, new construction or exterior alterations that could affect historic properties, compliance also may require on-going design review. In these instances, Lessor will be required to retain, at its sole cost and expense, the services of a preservation architect who meets or exceeds the Secretary of the Interior’s Professional Qualifications Standards for Historic Architecture, as amended and annotated and previously published in the Code of Federal Regulations, 36 C.F.R. part 61, and the GSA Qualifications Standards for Preservation Architects. These standards are available at: http://www.gsa.gov/historicpreservation>Project Management Tools> Qualification Requirements for Preservation Architects. The preservation architect will be responsible for developing preservation design solutions and project documentation required for review by the Government, the State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO), the Tribal Historic Preservation Officer (THPO), if applicable, and other consulting parties in accordance with Section 106. For Tenant Improvements and other tenant-driven alterations within an existing historic building, the preservation architect must develop context-sensitive design options consistent with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. Where new construction or exterior alterations, or both, are located within a historic district, may be visible from historic properties or may affect archeological resources, compliance may require tailoring the design of the improvements to be compatible with the surrounding area. Design review may require multiple revised submissions, depending on the complexity of the project and potential for adverse effects to historic properties. GSA is responsible for corresponding with the SHPO, the THPO, if applicable, and any other consulting party.

B.	Compliance requirements under Section 106 apply to all historic property alterations and new construction, regardless of the magnitude, complexity or cost of the proposed scope of work.

C.	The costs for development of design alternatives and review submittals for work required under the Lease are the sole responsibility of Lessor. In addition, building shell costs relating to such design alternatives are the sole responsibility of Lessor and must be included in the shell rent. Such costs may be offset by federal, state or local preservation tax benefits. Lessor is encouraged to seek independent financial and legal advice concerning the availability of these tax benefits.

design excellence – leaSE (OCT 2016)

A.	After Lease Award, the Lessor’s Architect, Engineers and Construction Management Team shall participate in a Technical Design Review of the design with Government representatives to collaboratively develop a final design and balance the following objectives:
