ADDENDUM #2 TO LEASE AGREEMENT

This ADDENDUM #2 to Lease Agreement (this “Lease”) is by and between MALONE RTE 2 WATERBURY PROPERTIES, LLC, a Vermont limited liability company with a place of business in Montpelier, Vermont (the “Landlord”) and SOLAR COMMUNITIES, INC. dba SUNCOMMON, a Vermont benefit corporation and certified B corporation with a place of business in Waterbury, Vermont (the “Tenant”).  Landlord and Tenant are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Parties” and individually referred to herein as a “Party”.

Background

1.          Landlord and Tenant entered into a Lease Agreement on October 19, 2015 (the “Original Lease Agreement”) in which Tenant and Landlord agreed that Tenant would lease and occupy 8,640 +/- square feet of office space in a new 14,000 +/- square foot commercial building which Landlord constructed and owns in Waterbury, Vermont (“Landlord’s Building”).

2.          Landlord and Tenant now wish to enter into an Addendum #2 to the original Lease Agreement in order to extend the Term of the lease and adjust the Annual Base Rent.

N O W ,  T H E R E F O R E ,

In consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants and agreements set forth in the original Lease Agreement, and in reliance on the representations and warranties contained therein and herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

Extension of Lease Term.  Landlord hereby agrees to extend the original 10 year lease Term to 12 years for the office space only.  Landlord shall lease and rent the Premises to Tenant for a term of twelve (12) years commencing on the Rent Commencement Date, as documented in the Rent Commencement Agreement, a copy of which is attached herein by reference.

Adjustment to Annual Base Rent.  Annual Base Rent for the 8,640 square feet of office space (the “Premises”) shall be adjusted from $189,663 to $212,301 in accordance with the attached Rent Commencement Agreement signed by the Parties as of March 1, 2017.  This Rent Commencement Agreement dated March 1, 2017 shall supersede and replace any earlier Rent Commencement Agreements signed by the Parties.

The adjusted Annual Base Rent is calculated in accordance with Exhibit D of the Original Lease Agreement:

Initial Construction Cost allocated to Tenant:  $2,547,606 ÷ 12 = $212,301 Annual Base Rent

Tenant shall owe Landlord an amount equal to the difference in actual monthly rent payments made for the initial ten months of the lease term ($15,805.25 X 10 months  = $158,052.50 from June 2016 through March 2016) compared to the adjusted Monthly Base Rent for the same period ($17,691.71 X 10 months = $176,917.10).  The total payment due is $18,864.60.  Tenant shall make such payment to Landlord within 10 days of the Execution Date of this Addendum #2.

-2-

Common Area Charges.  Since Tenant is now leasing the entire Building (office space and warehouse space), Tenant shall pay 100% of Common Area Charges as defined in Section 6 of the Original Lease Agreement directly to the providers of such goods and services, as opposed to reimbursing Landlord for Tenant’s pro rata share in the form of Additional Rent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall continue to insure the Premises in accordance with Section 9: Common Area Charges of the Original Lease Agreement and shall continue to be responsible for maintaining and repairing the exterior and structural components of the Building in accordance with Section 13; Repairs, Replacements of the Original Lease Agreement.

Excepting the modifications above in this Addendum #2, Landlord and Tenant shall be bound by the all other terms, conditions, rights, obligations and covenants as in the Original Lease Agreement.

-3-

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties, as evidenced by the signatures of their duly authorized agents, do hereby execute this Addendum #2 to the Lease Agreement as of the 2nd day of March, 2017.
