WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant now wish to modify the Lease by, among other things, having the Lease continue in full force and effect and extending the Lease Term, all under the provisions of this Amendment.
NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual agreements and covenants in this Amendment, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:
1.Extension of Lease Term. Landlord and Tenant agree that the term of the Lease shall be extended by thirty-six (36) months, commencing midnight on June 30, 2022, and ending at 11:59 p.m. on June 30, 2025 (the “Extension Term”).

Landlord and Tenant each acknowledges and reaffirms all of its obligations under the Lease, as the Lease has been amended by this Amendment, and agrees that any reference made in any other document to the Lease shall mean the Lease as amended by this Amendment. This Amendment may not be

If any provisions of this Amendment or the Lease, as amended hereby, shall be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, such determination shall not affect any other provision of the Lease or this Amendment and all such other provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree this Amendment shall not be construed or interpreted against either party hereto by virtue of the identity of the preparer.
4.Binding Effect. The covenants and agreements of this Amendment shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors, and assigns.
