BACKGROUND |
WHEREAS, by letter dated October 13, 2020 (the “Offer”), Landlord provided Tenant with Landlord’s Offer for the ROFO Premises in accordance with Exhibit 12 of the above-described lease (as amended, the “Existing Lease”), which Offer for the ROFO Premises Tenant accepted on October 16, 2020.
WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Existing Lease to reflect, among other provisions, the expansion of the Premises to include the ROFO Premises, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Existing Lease is hereby amended as follows (the Existing Lease, as amended by this First Amendment, shall hereafter be referred to as the “Lease”). Any
1
capitalized terms used herein shall have the same definition as set forth in the Existing Lease, except to the extent otherwise set forth in this First Amendment.
|
|
1. |
ROFO Premises |
a.Demise of ROFO Premises. Landlord hereby demises and leases to Tenant, and Tenant hereby hires and takes from Landlord, the ROFO Premises. Said demise of the ROFO Premises shall be for a term commencing on the ROFO Premises Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined) and expiring on the last day of the sixtieth (60th) full calendar month after the ROFO Premises Commencement Date (the “ROFO Premises Expiration Date”). Except as set forth herein, said demise of the ROFO Premises shall be upon all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Lease (as amended by this First Amendment) applicable to the Existing Premises.
b.ROFO Premises Commencement Date.
i.The “ROFO Premises Commencement Date” shall be the date that is the later of: (A) the date that is three (3) days after Tenant’s receipt of notice from Landlord of the expected ROFO Premises Commencement Date and (B) the date on which Landlord delivers possession of the ROFO Premises to Tenant with all base building systems and structural components serving the ROFO Premises (in each case, which Landlord is required to repair and maintain pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of the Lease) in good working order and condition, but otherwise in “as-is” condition, broom clean (with all furniture, fixtures, equipment and other personal property removed therefrom), vacant, and free and clear of any occupants; it being agreed that the delivery of the ROFO Premises in such condition shall not detract from or limit Landlord’s repair and maintenance obligations with respect to the Premises (including the ROFO Premises) under the Lease. Prior to the ROFO Premises Commencement Date, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a copy of the surrender plan (or substantial equivalent) of the current occupant of the ROFO Premises and reasonable evidence that the work required thereby has been (or will be) completed prior to the ROFO Premises Commencement Date. It is estimated that the ROFO Premises Commencement Date shall occur on or about October 1, 2021; but in no event shall the ROFO Premises Commencement Date occur prior to August 1, 2021. Landlord shall use diligent efforts to deliver the ROFO Premises to Tenant on or about October 1, 2021, however, the failure of Landlord to deliver the ROFO Premises to Tenant on or before October 1, 2021 shall in no way affect the validity of the Lease, this First Amendment, or the obligations of Tenant thereunder (except that the ROFO Premises Commencement Date shall not occur until the date Landlord delivers the ROFO Premises to Tenant in accordance with this paragraph), and Tenant shall not have any claim against Landlord and Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant by reason thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the ROFO Premises Commencement Date has not occurred on or before the ROFO Rent Credit Date (as hereinafter defined), then, as Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy on account thereof, Tenant shall be entitled to a rent credit against Tenant’s obligation to pay Base Rent in respect of the ROFO Premises only equal to one (1) day for each day between the ROFO Rent Credit Date and the ROFO Premises Commencement Date. The “ROFO Rent Credit Date” shall mean December 31, 2021, as such date shall be extended due to any delay caused by an act or omission by Tenant and/or Tenant’s agents, employees or contractors, Landlord’s Force Majeure or any other delay that is beyond Landlord’s reasonable control (it being agreed that, if the existing tenant of the ROFO Premises
2
has not timely vacated the ROFO Premises by the current expiration date of such tenant’s lease, then so long as Landlord is using commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the ROFO Premises to Tenant vacant and free and clear of any occupants, such delay shall be considered to be “beyond Landlord’s reasonable control” for purposes hereof).
ii.Tenant shall not have any right to occupy all or any part of the ROFO Premises for the Permitted Uses under the Lease prior to the ROFO Premises Commencement Date; provided, however that Landlord (or Landlord’s property manager) shall exercise good faith efforts to accommodate Tenant’s requests for occasional access to the ROFO Premises prior to the ROFO Premises Commencement Date for the limited purpose of viewing the same in connection with Tenant’s planning for future occupancy, in all cases subject to any limitations or restrictions contained in the existing tenant’s lease.
iii.When the ROFO Premises Commencement Date has occurred, such date and the ROFO Premises Expiration Date shall be evidenced by a document reasonably acceptable to both parties and executed by Landlord and Tenant and delivered each to the other, but the failure of Landlord or Tenant to execute or deliver such document shall have no effect upon such dates.
iv.Subject to subsection (i) above and Landlord’s ongoing service, maintenance, repair, insurance and restoration obligations under the Lease, (a) all work which Tenant deems necessary to prepare the ROFO Premises for Tenant’s use and occupancy and/or to refurbish the ROFO Premises shall be performed by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, in accordance with the provisions of the Lease, including, without limitation, Section 11 of the Lease and (b) Landlord has no obligation to perform any work, supply any materials, incur any expense or make any alterations or improvements to prepare the ROFO Premises for Tenant’s occupancy.
v.Effective on the ROFO Premises Commencement Date and continuing until the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Term under the Existing Lease for the Existing Premises and the ROFO Premises Expiration Date, (A) all references in the Lease to “Premises” shall be deemed to mean the Existing Premises and the ROFO Premises, collectively, (B) the Premises shall then consist of a total of 44,019 rentable square feet, which the parties stipulate shall be the correct Rentable Square Footage of the Premises, which shall not be remeasured and which the parties acknowledge is the entirety of the interior leasable area of the Building, (C) Tenant’s Share for the Premises shall be increased to 100%, (D) Tenant shall have the right to install and maintain signage on the exterior of the Building and on any monument serving the Building, and no third party shall have the right to maintain or install signage thereon (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit or restrict Landlord from installing Building identification signage on the Building or monument), (E) the number of Tenant’s Parking Spaces shall be increased to one hundred twelve (112) surface parking spaces (the “Full Building Parking Minimum”) located in the Parking Area more particularly identified in the plan attached hereto on Exhibit 2 and made a part hereof, and (F) in no event shall Landlord, in connection with the exercise of its rights under Section 2.2 of the Existing Lease, reduce the number of Tenant’s Parking Spaces to less than the Full Building Parking Minimum.
vi.Notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, effective on the ROFO Premises Commencement Date and continuing until the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Term under the Existing Lease for the Existing Premises and the ROFO Premises Expiration
3
Date, if (A) Tenant removes the two (2) 3000 liter nitrogen tanks (the “Nitrogen Tanks”) on the Property that were installed by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of the letter agreement dated September 28, 2016 from PPF OFF King 733 Concord Owner, LLC (Landlord’s predecessor in interest) to Tenant (the “Nitrogen Tank Letter”), (B) such removal is performed in accordance with the provisions of the Nitrogen Tank Letter, and (C) Tenant restores the three (3) surface parking spaces in the Parking Area that were occupied by the Nitrogen Tanks so that they are usable parking spaces in the Parking Area (the “Restored Parking Spaces”), then Tenant’s Parking Spaces shall be increased to one hundred fifteen (115) surface parking spaces located in the Parking Area and the Full Building Parking Minimum shall be increased to one hundred fifteen (115) surface parking spaces, in each case, to include the Restored Parking Spaces accordingly.
