WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to expand the Premises, and amend certain other terms of the Lease, all as more particularly provided below;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the foregoing, and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in the Lease and herein, the Lease is hereby modified and amended as set out below:

 

1.                                      Definitions.  All capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meaning as defined in the Lease, unless otherwise defined in this Tenth Amendment.

 

2.                                      Expansion Space; Term; Rent.  Landlord and Tenant hereby confirm, stipulate and agree that the Existing Premises shall be expanded as of the term commencement date to include an additional 1,589  rentable square feet of Storage Space (the “Additional Storage Space”) as described in red outline on Exhibit “A” attached hereto (and labeled Suites 7 and 8). Landlord will deliver possession of the Additional Storage Space in “as is” condition upon execution of this Tenth Amendment; provided, however, in the event delivery of possession is delayed and any such delay is caused by Landlord or Landlord’s contractors, then Tenant shall be entitled to receive from Landlord a rent credit equal to one (1) day of free Annual Rent for every one (1) day of any such delay. The term commencement date (“TCD”) and date of rent commencement with respect to the Additional Storage Space will be on the day of delivery of possession (prorated for any partial month). Unless sooner terminated as provided in the Lease, and subject to the renewal option contained in this Tenth Amendment, the expiration date for the lease of the

 



 

Additional Storage Space will be November 30, 2017. Annual Rental for the Additional Storage Space payable by Tenant under the Lease shall be as follows:

3.                                      Tenant’s Share and Operating Expense Base. Tenant’s Share attributable to the Additional Storage Space shall be 0.30%.

4.                                      Renewal Term.  Provided Tenant is not then in default in any of its material obligations under this Lease after applicable notice and curative periods have expired, Tenant shall have one (1)

 



 

option to renew the term of the Additional Storage Space (the “Renewal Term”). The option shall be exercised by written notice to Landlord given on or before August 31, 2017. Unless sooner terminated as provided in the Lease, the expiration date for the Renewal Term of the Additional Storage Space will be January 31, 2025. The Renewal Term shall be on the same covenants, agreements, terms, provisions and conditions as are contained in this Tenth Amendment.

 



 

5.                                      Authority. Each of Landlord and Tenant represents and warrants to the other that the execution, delivery and performance of this Tenth Amendment by such party is within the requisite power of such party, has been duly authorized and is not in contravention of the terms of such party’s organizational or governmental documents.

Each of Landlord and Tenant further represents and warrants to the other that this Tenth Amendment, when duly executed and delivered, will constitute a legal, valid, and binding obligation of Tenant, Landlord and all owners of the Building, fully enforceable in accordance with its respective terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, moratorium, arrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and the availability of specific performance or other equitable remedies.

 

7.                                      Successors and Assigns.  This Tenth Amendment will be binding on the parties’ successors and assigns.

 

8.                                      Brokers.  Tenant warrants that it has had no dealings with any broker or agent other than Commercial Realty, LLC d/b/a CB Richard Ellis|Oklahoma (the “Broker”) in connection with the negotiation or execution of this Tenth Amendment.  Landlord shall indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from and against any cost, expenses or liability for commissions or other compensation or charges of Broker.  Tenant agrees to indemnify Landlord and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all costs, expenses or liability for commissions or other compensations or charges claimed to be owed by Tenant to any broker or agent, other than Broker, with respect to this Tenth Amendment or the transactions evidenced hereby.

 

9.                                      Amendments.  With the exception of those terms and conditions specifically modified and amended herein, the Lease shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with all its terms and conditions. In the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of

 



 

this Tenth Amendment and the terms and provisions of the Lease, the terms and provisions of this Tenth Amendment shall supersede and control.

 

10.                               Counterparts.  This Tenth Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of such counterparts shall constitute one agreement. To facilitate execution of this Tenth Amendment, the parties may execute and exchange facsimile counterparts of the signature pages and facsimile counterparts shall serve as originals.

 

11.                               Disclosure.  Members of the Boulder Towers Tenants in Common are licensed real estate brokers in the State of Oklahoma and are affiliated with Commercial Realty, LLC d/b/a CB Richard Ellis|Oklahoma; they are also partners in Boulder Towers Tenants in Common, the Landlord.
