WHEREAS, the term of the Lease currently expires on August 31, 2020, and Tenant desires to extend the term of the Lease to expire on December 31, 2025;
WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, Landlord has agreed to extend the term of the Lease as set forth herein; and
WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Lease to reflect their agreements as to the terms and conditions governing the extension of the term of the Lease.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants between the parties herein contained, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:
1. Lease Term. The term of the Lease is hereby extended to expire on December 31, 2025, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of the Lease.
2. Base Rent. From and after the date hereof and continuing through December 31, 2019, Tenant shall continue to pay Base Rent with respect to the Leased Premises in accordance with the terms of the Lease. Commencing January 1, 2020, Tenant shall pay Base Rent for the Leased Premises as follows:
Period | Annual Base Rent | Monthly Installments of Base Rent |
1/1/20 – 12/31/20 | $559,789.56 | $46,649.13 |

1
Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Common Area Maintenance Costs, commencing on January 1, 2021, the Controllable Maintenance Costs (hereinafter defined) shall not increase by more than 5% per calendar year on a compounding and cumulative basis over the course of the remaining term of the Lease, as extended hereby. In other words, Controllable Maintenance Costs for calendar year 2021 shall not exceed 105% of the Controllable Maintenance Costs for calendar year 2020, and Controllable Maintenance Costs for calendar year 2022, shall not exceed 105% of the limit on Controllable Operating Expenses for calendar year 2021, etc. By way of illustration, if Controllable Maintenance Costs were $1.00 per square foot for calendar year 2020, then Controllable Maintenance Costs for calendar year 2021 shall not exceed $1.05 per square foot, and Controllable Operating Expenses for calendar year 2022 shall not exceed $1.1025 per square foot. "Controllable Maintenance Costs" shall mean all Common Area Maintenance Costs exclusive of (i) the cost of wages and salaries to the extent of increases in minimum wage required by federal or state law or to the extent of increases required by a collective bargaining agreement, (ii) the cost of utilities, (iii) fees for management services (not to exceed 3% of Landlord's gross revenue from the Project as set forth in Section 7(b) of the Lease Agreement), (iv) the cost of snow and ice removal, and (v) costs to comply with governmental requirements.
4. Acceptance of Leased Premises. Tenant acknowledges that Tenant currently occupies the Leased Premises and hereby accepts the Leased Premises, the Building and the Project in "as is" condition without relying upon any representation or warranty (express or implied) of Landlord or any representative of Landlord. Landlord shall not be required to perform any leasehold improvements or, except as provided in Section 5 below, provide any improvement allowance in connection with this Amendment.
5. Construction Allowance. Landlord shall provide an allowance of up to $82,200.00 (the "Construction Allowance") toward the cost of Landlord-approved leasehold improvements and related permitting and architectural fees incurred by Tenant in connection with improvements to be performed by Tenant in the Leased Premises. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for such costs (up to the amount of the Construction Allowance) within thirty (30) days after Landlord's receipt of receipted bills covering all labor and materials expended and used in the leasehold improvements and full and final waivers of lien from all contractors and subcontractors performing any work in connection therewith. Any portion of the Construction Allowance for which Tenant has not requested reimbursement prior to the date that is six (6) months after the date of this Amendment shall be the sole property of Landlord, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit, payment or abatement on account thereof. Any construction, alterations or improvements to the Leased Premises shall be performed by Tenant at its sole cost and expense (subject to reimbursement through the Construction Allowance as described above) and shall be governed in all respects by the terms of the Lease, including without limitation Section 12 of the Lease Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord shall not be obligated to disburse any portion of the Construction Allowance during the continuance of an uncured default by Tenant under the Lease, as amended, and Landlord's obligation to disburse shall only resume when and if such default is cured. Landlord hereby approves of the improvements described in the Estimate prepared by Texas Comfort Systems LLC dated August 13, 2019, attached hereto as Exhibit A.
