B. By the certain First Amendment to Lease dated as of April 16, 2013 (the “First Amendment”), by and between Cleveland Industrial and Tenant, the Term of the Lease was extended pursuant to the terms and conditions of the First Amendment (the Original Lease and the First Amendment are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Lease”).

D. The Term is scheduled to expire on October 31, 2014.

E. Landlord and Tenant are entering into this Second Amendment to amend the Lease, in part as follows: (i) to further extend the Term; (ii) to provide for the Fixed Rent during such extended Term; (iii) to provide for certain rights of both Landlord and Tenant with respect to that certain space consisting of approximately 19,000 square feet comprising a portion of the Premises as depicted on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part thereof (the “ROFR Space”); and (iv) to make certain other modifications to the Lease, all as more particularly set forth herein.

F. All references to the Lease shall mean the Lease, as amended, whether or not such reference shall expressly refer to such amendments. Unless otherwise provided herein, all capitalized words and terms used herein shall have the same meanings ascribed to such words and terms as in the Lease.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:

1.Extension of Term.

(a) Second Amendment Extension Term. The Term is hereby extended for a period of three (3) years commencing on November 1, 2014 (the “Second Amendment Extension Term Commencement Date”), and ending on October 31, 2017 (the “Second Amendment Extension Term Termination Date”). Tenant shall have the right to further extend the Term based on the terms and conditions set forth in Section 1(b) below, it being understood that Section 3.8 of the Original Lease and Section 3 of the First Amendment shall be deleted and replaced with Section 1(b) below.


(b) Renewal Options. Tenant shall have two (2) consecutive options (each, an “Extension Option”) to extend the Term for all (but not less than all) of the Premises which are demised under the Lease as of the day immediately preceding the Second Amendment Extension Term Termination Date for two (2) additional periods of five (5) years each (each, an “Extension Term”), subject to the following terms and conditions:

(i) No Default. The lease is in full force and effect and Tenant has not defaulted in the performance of its obligations under the Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods at the time of its exercise of the then applicable Extension Option nor at the commencement of the then applicable Extension Term, but Landlord shall have the right at its sole discretion to waive the non-default condition herein.

(ii) Fixed rent. Each Extension Term shall be upon all of the same terms, covenants and conditions as provided in the Lease, except that: (A) Tenant may not again exercise the Extension Option during the second Extension Term so as to further extend the Term beyond the expiration of the second Extension Term; and (B) the Fixed Rent payable for each Extension Term (the “Market Extension Rent”) shall be at the then current “market rate” annual Fixed Rent rate for new leases for similar space in the Building as in effect six (6) months prior to commencement of the applicable Extension Term, determined in accordance with this Section 5(b)(ii); provided, however, the Fixed Rent rate for each Extension Term shall in no event be less than the Fixed Rent rate for each previous Term or Extension Term (as the case may be).

(A) Market rate Fixed Rent shall mean the Fixed Rent rate for which the Premises would be expected to be leased for a five (5) year term commencing on the first day of the applicable Extension Term, with annual increases, in an arm’s-length transaction between a willing lessor and lessee in the greater Cleveland, Ohio metropolitan area industrial space market existing at the time such rate is established.

(B) If Tenant properly exercises the applicable Extension Option, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree as to the market rate Fixed Rent at least five (5) months prior to the commencement of the applicable Extension Term. If Landlord and Tenant do not agree as to the market rate Fixed Rent by such date, then market rate Fixed Rent for the applicable Extension Term shall be determined by binding “baseball” arbitration, in accordance with the following provisions:

(1) The party desiring such arbitration shall give written notice to that effect to the other party, specifying in such notice the name, address and professional qualifications of the person designated to act as appraiser on its behalf. Within ten (10) days after service of such notice, the other party shall give written notice to the party desiring such arbitration, specifying the name, address and professional qualifications of the person designated to act as appraiser on its behalf. The two (2) appraisers shall, within ten (10) days after selection of the second appraiser, select a third appraiser. All appraisers appointed hereunder shall be MAI members of the Appraisal Institute with not less than five

 

2


(5) years of experience in the appraisal of improved industrial real estate in the great Cleveland, Ohio metropolitan area, and be devoting substantially all of their time to professional appraisal work at the time of appointment, and be in all respects impartial and disinterested. The market rate Fixed Rent determined by each of the first two selected appraisers (each a “Proposed Rent Determination,” and collectively, the :Proposed Rent Determinations”) shall be submitted to the third selected appraiser within a period of thirty (30) days after the appointment of such third appraiser. Within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Proposed Rent Determinations, such third appraiser shall select one Proposed Rent Determination as the Fixed Rent for the applicable Extension Term, which determination shall be final, binding and conclusive upon all parties.

(2) Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of the appraiser appointed by or on behalf of such party and the fees and expenses of the third appraiser shall be borne equally by both parties.

(iii) Additional Rent. During each Extension Term, Tenant shall continue to pay Additional Rent, together will all other sums due, owing or payable under the Lease.

(iv) Exercise of Option. Tenant may exercise each Extension Option by giving Landlord a written notice thereof on or before the date that is six (6) months prior to the commencement of the applicable Extension Term. Failure by Tenant to timely exercise its right to each Extension Option shall be deemed a waiver by Tenant of its right to exercise the applicable Extension Option.

(v) Lease Amendment. If Tenant exercises an Extension Option, then the parties shall execute an amendment to the Lease to reflect Tenant’s exercise of the applicable Extension Option upon the terms provided herein, which amendment shall be executed within thirty (30) days after Tenant exercises the applicable Extension Option.

2. Rent.

Notwithstanding any provision of the Lease to the contrary (including, without limitation, Section 3.1 of the Original Lease and Section 2 of the First Amendment), subject to Section 3 below, from and after the Second Amendment Extension Term Commencement Date through and including the Second Amendment Extension Term Termination Date, Fixed Rent shall be as follows:
