6.    Representations and Warranties.

(b)     Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant as follows: (i) The execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment will not result in any breach of, or constitute any default under, any agreement or other instrument to which Landlord is a party or by which Landlord or the Leased Premises might be bound and will not result in the imposition of any lien or encumbrance against the Leased Premises or the Lease; (ii) The execution, delivery and performance by Landlord of this Amendment have been duly authorized by Landlord, and all third party consents required for this Amendment have been obtained by
Landlord, specifically including but not limited to the consent and approval of Landlord’s mortgage lender, if any; and (iii) The person executing this Amendment on behalf of Landlord represents and warrants that such person is duly authorized to act on behalf of Landlord in executing this Amendment, and that this Amendment constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of Landlord enforceable against Landlord in accordance with its terms.
(c)    Republic Airlines Space. The parties acknowledge that the Expansion Space 2017 is currently leased to Republic Airlines pursuant to a lease dated November 19, 2001, as amended by Lease Expansion Agreement dated July 21, 2003, Lease Extension and Modification Agreement dated July 8, 2005, Lease Amendment No. 2 and Consent dated May 14, 2015 and Lease Amendment No. 3 dated July 25, 2016 (collectively, the “RA Lease”) and that Landlord has negotiated a modification of the RA Lease that obligates Republic Airlines to surrender the Expansion Space 2017 on or before December 31, 2016. In the event that Landlord is unable to deliver the Premises on or before December 31, 2016 as a result of the failure of the bankruptcy court approval the RA amendment, this amendment shall be null and void with no further force or effect. In connection with that modification and in consideration of Tenant’s agreement to enter into this Amendment, Landlord covenants to Tenant that the Expansion Space 2017 annual rent and additional rent provided hereunder does not exceed the annual rent or additional rent (on a per square foot basis) provided under the RA Lease during the same time period and that such covenant is true now and shall continue to be true for so long as this Lease and the RA Lease continue to be in full force and effect (and continuing until whichever is later).

1.Definitions; Definition of Lease. Except as otherwise provided herein, the capitalized terms used in this Amendment shall have the definitions set forth in the Initial Lease. As used in the Initial Lease and herein, “Lease”





shall mean the Initial Lease, First Lease Amendment, Second Lease Amendment, and Third Lease Amendment as modified by and together with this Amendment.
2.Entire Agreement. The Lease, as amended by this Amendment, constitutes the entire agreement between Landlord and Tenant regarding the Lease and the subject matter contained herein and supersedes any and all prior and/or contemporaneous oral or written negotiations, agreements or understandings.
3.Lease Ratification. The Lease, as modified herein, is in full force and effect, and the parties hereby ratify the same. Each party represents and warrants to the other that there is no existing default under the Lease and that there is no event which, with the giving or notice or passage of time, would constitute a default under the Lease. The Lease and this Amendment shall be binding upon the parties and their respective successors and assigns. To the extent the terms and conditions of the Lease conflict with or are inconsistent with this Amendment, the terms and conditions of this Amendment shall control.
4.Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed a part of an original and all of which together shall constitute one agreement. Signature pages may be detached from the counterparts and attached to a single copy of this Amendment to form one document.
5.DSW’s Consent to Amendment; Ratification of Guaranty. DSW Inc. has, and assumes, no obligations, liabilities or responsibilities under this Lease, except that DSW Inc. delivered to Landlord a Guaranty dated as of October 1, 2008 under which DSW Inc. guaranteed the performance of Tenant under the Initial Lease.
