5. Condition of Temporary Space. Tenant accepts the Temporary Space in its “as-is” condition. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has not undertaken to perform any modification, alteration or improvement to the Temporary Space. By Taking possession of the Temporary Space, Tenant waives (a) any claims due to defects in the Temporary Space; and (b) all express and implied warranties of suitability, habitability and fitness for any particular purpose. Tenant waives the right to terminate the Lease due to the condition of the Temporary Space.
6. Parking. Tenant shall have the rights to six (6) additional parking spaces, of which one (1) space shall be a covered reserved space located under the Building, and the remaining five (5) spaces shall be non-reserved spaces in the surface parking lot of the Building. The parking shall be at no additional charge.
7. OFAC List Representation. Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord that neither Tenant nor any of its officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members or affiliates is or will be an entity or person: (a) that is listed in the annex to, or is otherwise subject to the provisions of, Executive Order 13224 issued on September 24, 2001 (“EO 13224”); (b) whose name appears on the United States Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) most current list of “Specifically Designated National and Blocked Persons” (which list may be published from time to time in various mediums including, but not limited to, the OFAC website, http:www.treas.gov/ofac/t11sdn.pdf); (c) who commits, threatens to commit or supports “terrorism,” as that term is defined in EO 13224; or (d) who is otherwise affiliated with any entity or person listed above.
8. Consent. This Amendment is subject to, and conditioned upon, any required consent or approval being unconditionally granted by Landlord’s mortgagee(s). If any such consent shall be denied, or granted subject to an unacceptable condition, this Amendment shall be null and void and the Lease shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
9. Broker. Tenant represents and warrants that it has not been represented by any broker or agent other than Oxford Commercial in connection with the execution of this Amendment. Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and its designated property management, construction and marketing firms, and their respective partners, members, affiliates and subsidiaries, and all of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, employees, servants, partners, members, representatives, insurers and agents from and against all claims (including costs of defense and investigation) of any broker or agent or similar party claiming by, through or under Tenant in connection with this Amendment.
10. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to Tenant’s execution and delivery to Landlord of this Amendment. If Tenant fails to execute and deliver a signed copy of this Amendment to Landlord by 5:00 p.m. (in the city in which the Premises is located) on September 1, 2009, this Amendment shall be deemed null and void and shall have no force or effect, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Landlord. Landlord’s acceptance, execution and return of this Amendment shall constitute Landlord’s agreement to waive Tenant’s failure to meet such deadline.
11. Miscellaneous. This Amendment shall become effective only upon full execution and delivery of this Amendment by Landlord and Tenant. This Amendment contains the parties’
