Expansion Space As used in this paragraph, the term “Expansion Space” means any space in the Building which, at any time during the Lease Term, is occupied by a Person other than Landlord under a written lease with Landlord, and the term “Tenant’s Expansion Space” means Expansion Space which Tenant has elected to lease as provided in this paragraph. Landlord agrees to notify Tenant promptly after Landlord learns that any Expansion Space is or will become available. Subject to the prior rights of other tenants to whom Landlord has granted substantially similar rights, Tenant has the option to lease any Expansion Space which Landlord notifies Tenant is or will become available. If Tenant gives Landlord notice of its exercise of this option within thirty (30) days after notification from Landlord of the availability of the Expansion Space and if no Event of Default exists when Tenant’s notice is given, this Lease will be deemed to be amended to include Tenant’s Expansion Space as part of the Premises for the remainder of the Lease Term upon all of the same terms contained in this Lease except that (i) the Rentable Area of the Premises will be amended to include Tenant’s Expansion Space; (ii) Tenant’s Share will be increased to include the rentable area of Tenant’s Expansion Space; (iii) the Term Commencement Date with respect to Tenant’s Expansion Space will be the earlier of sixty (60) days after the date on which Tenant’s Expansion Space becomes vacant and ready for occupancy (provided that date is at least sixty (60) days after Tenant exercises its option to lease the Expansion Space), or the date on which the Expansion Space is first occupied by Tenant; (iv) if Tenant’s Expansion Space contains a rentable area of 10,000 square feet or more, and if there are less than three (3) Lease Years remaining in the Lease Term, the Lease Term will be extended to include three (3) full years from the Term Commencement Date with respect to Tenant’s Expansion Space; and (v) subject to adjustment during each Fixed Rental Period as provided in Exhibit E, Basic Rent for each year of the remaining Lease Term (as it may be extended) will be the greater of (a) the Basic Rent last paid by the Person most recently occupying Tenant’s Expansion Space or (b) Market Rent determined as provided in the Rent Rider attached as Exhibit E. If Tenant exercises this option, Tenant’s Expansion Space will be leased to Tenant in its “as is” condition and Tenant will, at its expense and in compliance with the provisions of Section 7.06, design and construct all Improvements desired by Tenant for its use and occupancy. Landlord and Tenant agree to execute such amendments to this Lease and other instruments as either of them considers necessary or desirable to reflect Tenant’s exercise of this option.
Additional Premises Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to expand the Premises to include an additional fifteen thousand four hundred ten (15,410) square feet of Rentable Area located on the first (1st) floor, as shown on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Additional Premises”) on July 1, 2012 (the “Additional Premises Delivery Date”). In the event Landlord determines the Additional Premises will be ready for delivery to Tenant in the Required Condition on the Additional Premises Delivery Date, within ten (10) business days prior to the Additional Premises Delivery Date, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a written amendment to the Lease, which amendment shall provide, unless otherwise agreed in writing, (a) that the commencement date of the Additional Premises shall be the Additional Premises Delivery Date (the “Additional Premises Commencement Date”), (b) that, as of the Additional Premises Commencement Date, the Premises under the Lease shall be increased to include the Additional Premises for a total of sixty-one thousand four hundred forty-four (61,444) square feet of Rentable Area (together, the Premises and the Additional Premises shall be referred to hereinafter as the “Total Premises”), (c) the new Basic Annual Rent applicable to the Total Premises, which shall commence on the Additional Premises Commencement Date and shall be as further described in Section 4.2 of this Amendment, (d) Tenant’s new Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses as of the Additional Premises Commencement Date, which Pro Rata Share shall equal one hundred percent (100%) of the Building and thirty-three and 51/100 percent (33.51%) of the Project and (e) that, in addition to the parking which Tenant is entitled to under the terms of the Lease with respect to the original Premises, Tenant, for so long as Tenant leases the Additional Premises, shall have a non-exclusive license to use the parking facilities serving the Building in common on an unreserved basis with other tenants of the Building and the Project at a ratio of 3.3 parking spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet of Additional Premises, which amounts to fifty-one (51) additional parking spaces, which number shall include three (3) additional Reserved Spaces. In the event the Additional Premises is not ready for delivery to Tenant in the Required Condition on the Additional Premises Delivery Date, then (x) this Amendment and the Lease shall not be void or voidable, (y) Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom and (z) the new Basic Annual Rent applicable to the Premises shall be as further described in Section 4.3 of this Amendment.
Basic Rental Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord during the Term hereof, at Landlord's office or to such other person or at such other place as directed from time to time by written notice to Tenant from Landlord, the monthly and annual sums as set forth in Article 1.C. of the Basic Lease Provisions, payable in advance on the first (1st) day of each calendar month, without demand, setoff or deduction, and in the event this Lease commences or the date of expiration of this Lease occurs other than on the first (1st) day or last day of a calendar month, the rent for such month shall be prorated. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and provided that Tenant faithfully performs all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, Landlord hereby agrees to xxxxx Tenant's obligation to pay monthly Basic Rental for the second (2nd) and third (3rd) full calendar months of the initial Lease Term. During such abatement periods, Tenant shall still be responsible for the payment of all of its other monetary obligations under this Lease. In the event of a default by Tenant under the terms of this Lease that results in early termination pursuant to the provisions of Section 20(a) of this Lease, then as a part of the recovery set forth in Article 20 of this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to the recovery of the monthly Basic Rental that was abated under the provisions of this Section 3(a). The amount of Basic Rental to be abated pursuant to this Section 3(a) above may be referred herein as "Abated Rent Amount." Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to contrary contained herein, upon written notice to Tenant, Landlord shall have the option to purchase all or any portion of Tenant's Abated Rent Amount by paying such amount to Tenant, in which case the amount so paid to Tenant shall nullify an equivalent amount of abatement of Tenant's Basic Rental as to the period so designated by Landlord in Landlord's written notice to Tenant. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, the first full month's Basic Rental shall be paid to Landlord in accordance with Article 1.J. of the Basic Lease Provisions and, if the Commencement Date is not the first day of a month, Basic Rental for the partial month commencing as of the Commencement Date shall be prorated based upon the actual number of days in such month and shall be due and payable upon the Commencement Date.
Storage Space (a) In addition to the Premises defined in Section 1.2 above, Landlord desires to lease to Tenant and Tenant desires to lease from Landlord additional space comprising approximately Five Hundred Fifty-Nine (559) rentable square feet of below grade space in the Building as shown on Exhibit A-3 attached hereto (hereinafter referred to as the "Storage Space"), on the all of the terms and conditions of the Lease applicable to the Premises except as specifically set forth in this Paragraph 13.
(b) Tenant shall pay to Landlord Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00) per rentable square foot of space in the Storage Space with respect to the Storage Space throughout the Term of the Lease. Such monthly installments of storage rent shall hereinafter be referred to as "Monthly Storage Space Rent". The Monthly Storage Space Rent will constitute Additional Rent (as defined in the Lease) and shall be due and payable, without deduction or set off, on the first (1st) day of each calendar month during the Term of the Lease commencing January 1, 2005. Tenant's obligation to pay Monthly Storage Space Rent hereunder shall be abated from the period commencing on the Commencement Date and continuing until December 31, 2004. No other amounts other than Monthly Storage Space Rent shall be abated except as expressly provided elsewhere in the Lease. If Tenant defaults under the Lease after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period prior to January 1, 2005, then Tenant shall no longer be entitled to any further abatement of Monthly Storage Space Rent. Monthly Storage Space Rent for any period during the term hereof which is for less than one (1) month shall be prorated based upon the actual number of days of the calendar month involved.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease or herein, (i) the Base Rent payable with respect to the Premises set forth in Section 1.8 of the Lease shall not be applicable to the Storage Space; (ii) Monthly Storage Space Rent payable with respect to the Storage Space shall not be subject to annual escalations; (iii) neither Operating Expense increases as set forth in Section 5 of the Lease nor the Electric Energy Charge as set forth in Section 11.6 of the Lease shall be payable with respect to the Storage Space.
(d) Tenant shall use the Premises solely for storage of office supplies, files, UPS battery packs and product samples and for no other purposes whatsoever.
(e) All property placed in the Storage Space by Tenant, its agents, or any other persons, shall be and remain at the sole risk of Tenant, its agents or other persons. Landlord shall not be liable for any damage to, or theft or loss of, such property, whether or not caused by the act or omission of any person, including Landlord or its agent, or by the bursting, leaking or overflowing of water, sewer or sprinkler pipes, plumbing fixtures, or any other act or thing, unless such damage to, or theft or loss of, such property results directly from the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord and then only to the extent that Tenant, its agents or any other persons, are not compensated therefor by Tenant's insurance. In no event shall Landlord or its agent be liable for consequential damages.
(f) Landlord shall deliver the Storage Space with full height walls, sprinklers, appropriate lighting and a secure locked door. Except as specifically provided herein, Tenant hereby agrees to accept the Storage Space in its "as is" condition existing on the Commencement Date and Landlord shall have no obligation to construct any tenant improvements to the Storage Space on behalf of Tenant. Tenant is not entitled to any improvement allowance pursuant to the terms of the Lease. Landlord will not provide heat, air conditioning, water, char service or any other utility or service to the Premises and the provisions of Section 11 of the Lease shall not apply to the Storage Space.
(g) Notwithstanding any provision herein or in the Lease to the contrary, the Storage Space shall not be counted in connection with, or applied to, the calculation of Tenant's Share set forth in Section 1.11 of the Lease nor the calculation of the number of parking spaces Landlord shall allocate to Tenant pursuant to Section 1.13
Fixed Rent (a) Commencing as of the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay Fixed Rent to Landlord, or Landlord’s designee as designated in a written notice to Tenant at such address as Landlord shall from time to time designate by written notice to Tenant. Except as hereinafter provided, the Fixed Rent shall be due and payable in the amounts set forth on Schedule 2 hereto for the respective periods shown on such Schedule 2. Fixed Rent shall be due and payable in advance on the first day of each month (or if such first day is not a business day, the first business day of each month), commencing on the Date of Rent Commencement, during the Term (each such date being referred to herein as a “Due Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, from the Date of Rent Commencement until Tenant is notified otherwise by Landlord and Lender, Fixed Rent shall be paid by wire transfer to the account specified in the rent direction letter from Landlord to Tenant delivered concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Lease.
(b) If the Lease Commencement Date or Rent Commencement Date shall be on any day other than the first day of a calendar month, then all amounts to be paid on such dates shall be prorated on a per diem basis.
(c) If any installment of Fixed Rent is not paid on the respective Due Date, Tenant shall pay Landlord interest on such overdue payment at the Lease Default Rate, accruing from the Due Date of such payment until the same is paid; provided, however, the foregoing obligation to pay the Default Rate shall not be required for the first late payment of Fixed Rent in any calendar year so long as such delay in payment does not continue for longer than a period of ten (10) days. All Fixed Rent and Additional Rent shall be payable in U.S. Dollars.
(d) Commencing as of the Lease Commencement Date, all taxes, costs, expenses, and other amounts which Tenant is required to pay pursuant to this Lease (other than Fixed Rent), together with every fine, penalty, interest and cost which may be added in accordance herewith for non-payment or late payment thereof shall constitute additional rent (“Additional Rent”). All Additional Rent due to Landlord (or its designee) shall be paid directly by Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord gives written notice that payment is due, unless otherwise provided in this Lease, in which case, the Additional Rent shall be paid as otherwise so provided. Unless otherwise provided herein, Additional Rent payable by Tenant to a third (3rd) party (i.e., utility charges, maintenance contracts, supply contracts, vendor contracts, etc.) shall be paid as and when the same shall be due and payable pursuant to Tenant’s agreement or other arrangement with the applicable third (3rd) party. If Tenant shall fail to pay any such Additional Rent or any other sum due hereunder when the same shall become due (after the expiration of the applicable cure periods therefor), Landlord shall have all rights, powers and remedies with respect thereto as are provided herein or by Law in the case of non-payment of any Fixed Rent and shall, except as expressly provided herein, have the right (after the expiration of the applicable cure periods thereof), not sooner than ten (10) days after notice to Tenant (except in the event of an emergency, as reasonably determined by Landlord, in which case prior notice shall not be necessary) of its intent to do so, to pay the same on behalf of Tenant, and Tenant shall repay such amounts to Landlord on demand. Tenant shall pay to Landlord interest at the Lease Default Rate on all overdue Additional Rent and other sums due hereunder, in each case paid by Landlord or Lender on behalf of Tenant, from the date of payment by Landlord or Lender until repaid by Tenant.
Base Rental 4.1 Tenant shall pay to Landlord annual rent during the Initial Term of this Lease in the amount of Thirty-Five Thousand One Hundred and Sixty Dollars and 00/100 Dollars ($35,160) ("Base Rent"), which shall be paid in equal consecutive monthly installments of One Thousand Four Hundred and Sixty-Five Dollars and 00/100 Dollars ($1,465.00) and a prorated portion for any partial calendar month. Installments of rent shall be paid on the first day of each calendar month in advance.
4.2 In the event that Tenant exercises its right to a Renewal Term, the Base Rent payable during the Renewal Term (and the Base Building Expense figure), as specified in Section 4.1 for Base Rent and Section 5.1 for Base Building Expense, shall be adjusted as of the first day of each Renewal Term (the "First Adjustment Date") by the percentage increase in the Consumer's Price Index for all Urban Consumers specified for All Items, All Cities (1982-1984=100) and issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor, or any replacement thereof (the "Index"). The increased annual Base Rent shall be equal to the annual Base Rent payable for the year preceding the Adjustment Date multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Index for the second calendar month immediately preceding the Adjustment Date and the denominator is the Index for the second calendar month one year preceding. In no event shall the Base Rent be decreased. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the increase in Base Rent for any one Renewal Term shall not be greater than five percent (5%).
4.3 All rent shall be paid to Landlord at the address set forth herein or at such other address as Landlord may designate in writing, without any prior demand therefore and without any deduction or offset whatsoever.
4.4 In the event that Tenant shall fail to pay any amount under this Lease when the same shall be due, such amount shall be subject to a one-time late charge of five cents (.05(cent)) for each One Dollar ($1.00) not paid when due and thereafter shall be subject to a service charge until such amount is paid at the lesser of the rate of two percent (2%) per month or the highest rate permitted by law.
Expansion Premises (a) In consideration of the rents, terms, provisions and covenants of this Amendment and the Lease, Landlord hereby leases unto Tenant and Tenant hereby rents and accepts from Landlord the Expansion Premises. The Expansion Premises is more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto. The Expansion Premises is contiguous to the Replacement Premises.
(b) Tenant covenants, as a material part of the consideration for the Lease, as amended hereby, to keep and perform each and all of said terms, covenants and conditions for which Tenant is liable and that this Amendment is made upon the condition of such performance. On and after the Second Renewal Term Commencement Date, all of the terms and provisions of the Lease, as amended hereby, shall apply to both the Replacement Premises and the Expansion Premises. From and after the Second Renewal Term Commencement Date, each and every reference in the Lease and in this Amendment to “Premises” shall be and mean the Replacement Premises and the Expansion Premises, collectively. The Replacement Premises and Expansion Premises consist of a total of approximately 12,103 rentable square feet. The Expansion Premises shall be known as Suite 246.
(c) At Landlord’s request, Tenant shall execute a Commencement Date Memorandum in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B acknowledging, among other things, the (i) Second Renewal Term Commencement Date, (ii) scheduled termination date of the Lease and (iii) Tenant’s acceptance of the Expansion Premises. Tenant’s failure to execute the Commencement Date Memorandum shall not affect Tenant’s liability hereunder.
Additional Rental (a) For purposes of this Lease, "Tenant's Forecast Additional Rental" shall mean Landlord's reasonable estimate of Tenant's Additional Rental for the coming calendar year or portion thereof. If at any time it appears to Landlord that Tenant's Additional Rental for the current calendar year will vary from Landlord's estimate by more than five percent (5%), Landlord shall have the right to revise, by notice to Tenant, its estimate for such year, and subsequent payments by Tenant for such year shall be based upon such revised estimate of Tenant's Additional Rental. Failure to make a revision contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence shall not prejudice Landlord's right to collect the full amount of Tenant's Additional Rental. Prior to the Rental Commencement Date and thereafter prior to the beginning of each calendar year during the Lease Term, including any extensions thereof, Landlord shall present to Tenant a statement of Tenant's Forecast Additional Rental for such calendar year; provided, however, that if such statement is not given prior to the beginning of any calendar year as aforesaid, Tenant shall continue to pay during the next ensuing calendar year on the basis of the amount of Tenant's Forecast Additional Rental payable during the calendar year just ended until the month after such statement is delivered to Tenant.
Additional Space Commencing on May 1, 2001, Sublessor herein grants unto the Sublessee a Right of First Refusal on any space that shall be and/or becomes available in the building during the remaining Term of this Sublease. Prior to May 1, 2001 and thereafter prior to the first day of May of any calendar year during the remaining Term hereof, Sublessor shall notify Sublessee by written notice of the availability of any such space in the building. Should Sublessee desire to exercise its Right of First Refusal and sublease such available space, Sublessee must notify Sublessor in writing of its desire to sublease the available space within seven (7) calendar days of Sublessee's receipt of Landlord's notice of availability. Within thirty (30) days of the receipt of Sublessee's notice exercising the right to sublease such available space, Sublessee and Sublessor shall enter into an amendment of this agreement setting forth the terms under which the additional space is subleased to Sublessee. The Base Rental shall be at a rental mutually agreed between Sublessee and Sublessor. Failure by Sublessee to exercise its Right of First Refusal within said seven (7) calendar day period, or if exercised, failure to enter into an amendment of this agreement within thirty (30) days of Sublessor's receipt of Sublessee's notice, shall be deemed a waiver of such right and Sublessor shall thereafter be free of any obligation under this Article 2.04 for a period of 12 months. Any exercise by Sublessee of this Right of First Refusal shall be for a minimum of 5,000 rental square feet.
Improvements to Premises Lessee shall take the Premises in its "as-is" condition for the Extended Term except for certain Leasehold Improvements (herein so called) to the Premises which shall be completed in accordance with the specifications attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "Approved Plans"), which have been approved by both Lessor and Lessee. Lessor shall cause the Leasehold Improvements to be installed or constructed in accordance with the Approved Plans by Lessor's contractor. So long as no Event of Default (or event which with notice or lapse of time could become an Event of Default) has occurred under the Lease, Lessor agrees to provide Lessee an allowance equal to One Hundred Fifty-Three Thousand One Hundred Nineteen and No/100 Dollars ($153,119.00) (the "Improvement Allowance"), which allowance is to be used solely for completion of the Leasehold Improvements in accordance with the Approved Plans, and an additional allowance equal to Three Thousand Two Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($3,200.00) (the "Architectural Allowance"), which allowance is to be used solely for space planning and design services for the Premises. In the event that any alterations or modifications to the Premises are required in order to comply with applicable law, including, without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, or the State of Texas equivalent laws and regulations, the cost of any such alterations or modifications shall be satisfied out of the Improvement Allowance. The cost of the Leasehold Improvements and the space planning and design fees is to be paid by Lessor out of the Improvement Allowance and the Architectural Allowance, respectively. Any completed work (labor or materials) outside the scope of the Approved Plans or the cost of which is in excess of the Improvement Allowance or the Architectural Allowance, as the case may be, shall be at Lessee's sole cost and will be billed to Lessee by Lessor and will be due and payable within ten (10) days after Lessee's receipt of an invoice therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee will not be liable for work outside the scope of the Approved Plans or excess costs over the amount of the Improvement Allowance or the Architectural Allowance unless Lessee has consented in writing to such work outside the scope of the Approved Plans or excess costs prior to the commencement of such work or the incurring of such excess costs. Any portion of the Improvement Allowance or the Architectural Allowance remaining upon the completion of the Leasehold Improvements shall be deemed forfeited by Lessee. Lessor further acknowledges and agrees that Section 4.07 of the Lease is hereby amended to provide that Lessee shall not be required to surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor "in the same condition as when received", but rather shall be entitled to surrender possession of the Premises in the same condition as exists upon the completion of the Leasehold Improvements described in Paragraph 3 above, subject to any and all other requirements set forth in Section 4.07 of the Lease.
