The parties now desire to amend the terms of the Lease in order to: (i) provide for the reduction of the "Premises"; (ii) memorialize the space plan applicable to the Remaining Premises; (iii) provide for an assignment of the Lease from Assignor to Assignee; and (iv) further amend the terms of the Lease, all on the terms and conditions set forth below.

AGREEMENT

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

1.                Assignment; Assumption. Effective as of the date hereof (the "Effective Date"), Assignor hereby assigns, conveys and transfers to Assignee all of Assignor's rights, title and interests as "Tenant" in, under and to the Lease (the "Assignment"), including, without limitation, any security deposit of Assignor held by Landlord pursuant to the terms of the Lease. Assignee hereby accepts the Assignment and assumes and agrees to keep, perform and be bound by all of the terms, covenants, conditions and obligations contained in the Lease on the part of "Tenant", which accrue on or after the Effective Date, to be kept and performed thereunder as though Assignee was the original "Tenant" under the Lease, effective as of the Effective Date. Assignee acknowledges and agrees further that it has been provided with a true and complete copy of the Lease and fully understands its obligations as "Tenant" under the Lease as amended by this Amendment (the "Amended Lease"). As of the Effective Date, all references herein and in the Amended Lease to "Tenant" shall mean and refer to Assignee. As part of the Assignment, Landlord, Assignor and Assignee hereby acknowledge and agree that:

 

a.                Assignor is released from all of its obligations under the Amended Lease, but Ourgame International Holdings Ltd. ("Guarantor") is not released from any of its obligations under the Guaranty of Lease executed by Guarantor on March 26, 2019;

 

b.                Assignee's address for receipt of notices under the Amended Lease is the Premises; and

 

c.                Landlord may consent to subsequent assignments or sublettings of the Amended Lease or to any amendments or modifications thereto without notifying Assignor and without obtaining its consent thereto. Landlord has not made any express, implied, oral or written representations or promises that any future assignments or subleases will be approved.

The parties hereby acknowledge that Landlord has not yet turned over possession of the Original Premises to Assignor and that the Reduction Space is currently vacant. As of the Effective Date, the Lease shall be deemed terminated with respect to the Reduction Space, and from and after the Effective Date, the "Premises" (as defined in the Lease) shall be deemed to mean the Remaining Premises.

 

3.                Condition of Premises. The parties hereby agree that the space plans attached hereto as Exhibit "B" are the "Space Plans" (as defined in the Work Letter attached to the Lease as Exhibit "B" [the "Work Letter"]) for the Premises (i.e., the Remaining Premises).

Tenant's rights to all such parking passes are subject to the terms of Article 28 of this Lease.

 

e.                Section 12 (Tenant Improvement Allowance). Section 12 of the Summary is hereby deleted and replaced with:

 

Up to $1,352,790.00 (based on up to $90.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises) (the "Tenant Improvement Allowance").

f.                 Article 3 (Base Rent). The first sentence of the second paragraph of Article 3 of the Lease is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as Tenant is not in Default under this Lease, Landlord hereby agrees to abate Tenant's obligation to pay $39,832.15 per month of Base Rent during the Base Rent Abatement Period (such total amount of abated Base Rent, i.e., $438,153.65 in the aggregate, being hereinafter referred to as the "Abated Base Rent") (the Abated Base Rent, Abated Temporary Space Parking Charges and Abated Parking Charges [as defined in Section 28.1 below], are collectively referred to herein as the "Abated Amount").

 

g.                Article 21 (Security Deposit). The first sentence of Article 21 is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

h.                Section 29.39 (Moving Allowance). Section 29.39 of the Lease is hereby amended to delete the following excerpt: "Provided Tenant is not in Default under this Lease, Landlord shall provide Tenant with an allowance of up to $10.00 per rentable square foot (i.e., up to $245,790.00, based upon the Premises containing 24,579 rentable square feet) (the 'Moving Allowance')…" and to replace the same with the following: "Provided Tenant is not in Default under this Lease, Landlord shall provide Tenant with an allowance of up to $10.00 per rentable square foot (i.e., up to $150,310.00, based upon the Premises containing 15,031 rentable square feet) (the 'Moving Allowance')…"

 

i.                 Section 5(a) (Allowance). The last paragraph of Section 5(a) of the Work Letter is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

 

Tenant may exceed the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance by up to $30.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises (i.e., up to $450,930.00, based on the Premises containing 15,031 rentable square feet) (the "Additional Allowance"), subject to the following. The portion of the Additional Allowance used by Tenant, if any, shall be amortized over the initial 167-month Lease Term, with interest at the rate of seven percent (7%) per annum, in the form of additional Base Rent (but shall under no circumstances be subject to abatement for any reason and shall not be part of the Abated Amount). For example, if the amount of the Additional Allowance utilized is $30.00 per rentable square foot, or $450,930.00, then the Base Rent for all 167 installments due during the initial Lease Term would be increased by $4,232.90 per month, which amount includes the interest factor. If the increased payment amounts are determined after the Lease Commencement Date, then within thirty (30) days after Landlord's demand, Tenant shall pay the total amount attributable to the increased installments for the months which have already passed. If Tenant's Default results in a termination of the Lease, the entire remaining Additional Allowance (plus all interest earned and unearned) shall be immediately payable by Tenant to Landlord.

 

 

 

 

 3 

 

j.                 Section 5(e) (Unused Allowance Amounts). Section 5(e) of the Work Letter is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

Provided Tenant is not in Default, Tenant shall be permitted, subject to prior written request given to Landlord no later than one hundred eighty (180) days after substantial completion of the Tenant Improvements (the "Outside Allowance Date"), to apply up to (i) $20.00 per rentable square foot of any unused Tenant Improvement Allowance (i.e., up to $300,620.00 based upon the Premises containing 15,031 rentable square feet) and (ii) up to $15.00 per rentable square foot of any unused Additional Allowance (i.e., up to $225,465.00 based upon the Premises containing 15,031 rentable square feet) towards design costs and the costs of furniture, fixtures and equipment, IT/telecommunication costs and security systems. Any portion of the Tenant Improvement Allowance or Additional Allowance which remains unused, unapplied and/or unrequested as of the Outside Allowance Date shall not be available to Tenant and Landlord shall have no obligation to pay any portion thereof.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 7, Tenant's use of Storage Room 2 shall be governed by Section 29.41 of the Lease as though Storage Room 2 were the "Storage Room" as defined in said Section 29.41.

 

8.                Condition Precedent. The effectiveness of this Amendment is conditioned upon Assignor causing the Guarantor to execute the Reaffirmation and Consent set forth below the signature blocks of this Amendment. The foregoing condition is for the benefit of Landlord only and may be waived in its sole discretion.
