Monthly Total Rent (includes rent, tax, insurance, CAM, utilities, etc.):
June 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018 - $0.448 per square foot per month
Effective, January 1, 2019, the monthly Total Rent for warehousing services (which includes rent, tax, insurance, CAM, utilities, warehouse protection and other operating expenses, the "Variable Rent Costs"), shall increase to $0.4664 per square foot per month. The Variable Rent Costs will be reconciled on an annual basis.
Client's Facility space allocation is 113,900 square feet. Upon Client's election and a one-hundred forty-five (145) day written notice period to GEODIS, Client may reduce its Facility space allocation; provided that Client's allocation will never fall below 95,000 square feet without express written agreement from GEODIS. Any reduction in square footage space will be memorialized in a separate written agreement between the Parties.
GEODIS reserves the right to move, at its sole cost and expense, any Products in storage from the Facility to any of its other facilities, so long as it provides no less than thirty (30) days' prior notice to Client. The condition of such facilities must be equal to or better than the condition of the Facility, and such transfer shall not adversely affect the Rates or materially impact the Services.
Monthly Equipment Lease Fee:
June 1, 2018 to May 31, 2023 - $1,291.49 (See Equipment Lease Schedule)
The Parties acknowledge that the above revised pricing became effective June 1, 2018. The Client has been billed pursuant to these revised rates since June 1, 2018, and Client expressly approves such rates.
6. | The Parties further agree that the purchase and/or lease of certain capital is necessary in relation to the renewal and this Amendment. Therefore, an additional equipment lease fee of $1,291.49 will be charged to Client each month during the Term. Before the expiration of the Term, should Client terminate the Agreement for convenience, or should GEODIS terminate for cause, the applicable ending balance on the attached Equipment Lease Schedule shall be due to GEODIS, in addition to any other sums due as set forth in the Agreement. |
7. | Any capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement. Except as provided herein, the Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. It is specifically understood and agreed that the foregoing shall not be deemed to be a waiver or amendment of any other provision of the Agreement or any of GEODIS's rights or remedies under the Agreement. |
