Common use of Measurement of Premises Clause in Contracts

Measurement of Premises. If requested by Tenant, the Premises shall be measured according to the BOMA Standard Method for Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings, modified as is customary for laboratory buildings in the Boston/Cambridge area market, to include mechanical shafts dedicated solely to tenant use in the tenant rentable area. The following are expressly excluded from the measurement of the Premises and reserved to Landlord: all the perimeter walls of the Premises (except the inner surfaces thereof), the Common Areas, and any space in or adjacent to the Premises used for shafts, stacks, pipes, conduits, wires and appurtenant fixtures, fan rooms, ducts, electric or other utilities, sinks or other Building facilities, and the use of all of the foregoing. If the measurement of the Premises determines that the area of the Premises is greater or less than ten percent (10%) of the area of the Premises set forth in Section 1.1 hereof, then whenever the size of the Premises is necessary for any computation, size shall be the adjusted size as herein determined.
