| b. | Additional Charges. |
| i. | The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that, with respect to the Expansion Subleased Premises, the Sublease as amended hereby, is intended to be a Full Service Gross sublease and that commencing after the 2019 calendar year (“Expansion Sublease Base Year”) Subtenant shall be responsible for the payment of Subtenant’s Expansion Share (as defined below) of all Operating Expenses that exceed the total amount of Operating Expenses payable by Sublandlord under the Prime Lease for the Expansion Sublease Base Year (which will include both the pro-rated estimated amount on the Budget Sheet and the additional actual Operating Expenses according to the Landlord’s Statement). Subtenant shall also be responsible for the payment of Subtenant’s Expansion Share of all Building Operating Expenses (as defined below) that exceed the amount of Building Operating Expenses incurred by Sublandlord during the Expansion Sublease Base Year. The amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3(b) are collectively referred to as, “Expansion Additional Rent”, and together with Expansion Gross Rent and all other amounts payable by Subtenant with respect to the Expansion Subleased Premises, “Expansion Rent”. A copy of the Landlord Statement for the Expansion Sublease Base Year expenses shall be provided to Subtenant. |
3
| ii. | Payment of such amounts due hereunder shall be made by Subtenant in the same manner as Sublandlord shall be required to pay such amounts pursuant to the Prime Lease (except as specifically set forth below) and paid to Sublandlord for forwarding to the Prime Landlord. |
| iii. | “Subtenant’s Expansion Share” is equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is the rentable area of the Expansion Subleased Premises and the denominator of which is the total rentable area of the Building excluding areas designated as common areas for the use of subtenants under the Prime Lease by Sublandlord. |
| iv. | “Building Operating Expenses” are expenses incurred by Sublandlord in connection with the operation, maintenance, and repair of areas of the Building designated by Sublandlord as common areas for the use of subtenants under the Prime Lease, but only to the extent that such expenses would constitute “Operating Expenses” under the Prime Lease if incurred by Prime Landlord in connection with the ownership, operation and maintenance of the Building Complex; provided, however, in no event shall any Operating Expenses or Building Operating Expenses be duplicative of each other. |
| c. | Subtenant's Covenant to Pay Rent. Subtenant's obligation to pay Expansion Rent shall commence on the Expansion Date. Expansion Rent shall be payable in equal monthly installments in advance on the first (1st) day of each and every calendar month during the Term, without setoff, deduction, notice or demand at the address of Sublandlord set forth in Section 12 of the Sublease. |
| 4. | Expansion Work. Sublandlord covenants and agrees to complete the work identified on Exhibit B (the “Expansion Work”) attached to this Amendment prior to May 1, 2019 and to use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Expansion Work on or before such date. Sublandlord agrees to promptly submit the plans for the Expansion Work to the Prime Landlord for prior approval in accordance with the Prime Lease. Sublandlord shall warrant that the Expansion Work is designed, engineered and constructed in a good and workmanlike manner, free of any latent defects, liens or other encumbrances, and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Prime Lease, and all applicable laws for a period of one (1) year following completion of the Expansion Work. Sublandlord shall be responsible for any costs associated with completion of the Expansion Work. Sublandlord’s obligations under this Amendment to deliver the Expansion Subleased Premises to Subtenant is contingent and conditioned upon Prime Landlord approving the Expansion Work. |
| 5. | FF&E. |
| a. | Sublandlord shall not remove that certain furniture, fixture, and equipment that was located in the Expansion Subleased Premises when Subtenant toured the space (collectively, the “Expansion FF&E”) from the Expansion Subleased Premises prior to the Expansion Date and the Expansion FF&E shall remain in the Expansion Subleased Premises upon delivery thereof to Subtenant. |
| b. | For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and (to the extent that it constitutes Tenant’s Property under the Prime Lease) Sublandlord, does hereby transfer, bargain and convey to Subtenant, all FF&E and Expansion FF&E with such transfer and conveyance to be effective upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Sublease. The FF&E and Expansion FF&E shall be conveyed to Buyer on a quitclaim, “as is,” “where is” and “with all faults” basis, without representations, warranties and/or covenants, express or implied, of any kind or nature. |
4
| c. | Subtenant shall be responsible for the removal of all FF&E and Expansion FF&E from the Expansion Subleased Premises at the expiration of the Term pursuant and subject to the requirements of the Prime Lease applicable thereto. |
| 6. | Parking. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Subtenant shall have the parking rights and obligations of Sublandlord that are allocated or attributable to the Expansion Subleased Premises based on Subtenant’s Expansion Share. Any right to utilize a fractional portion of a parking space allocated to the Expansion Subleased Premises shall be retained by Sublandlord for its benefit such that the number of parking spaces allocated to the Expansion Subleased Premises is a whole number. Commencing on the first day of the 19th calendar month following the Expansion Date , Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord rental of $100 per month per each of the Covered Parking Spaces allocated to Subtenant pursuant to this Section 6 as Rent. |
| 7. | Security Deposit. Upon Subtenant’s execution and delivery of this Amendment to Sublandlord, Subtenant shall deposit with Sublandlord the sum of $37,039 as additional security for the performance by Subtenant of all of the terms, covenants, and conditions required to be performed by it under the Sublease as amended hereby (the “Expansion Security Deposit”). The Expansion Security Deposit shall be deemed part of the Security Deposit under the Sublease and all terms applicable to the Security Deposit under the Sublease shall apply to the Expansion Security Deposit. Accordingly, the aggregate amount of the Security Deposit is hereby increased to $319,069. |
| 8. | Right of First Offer. Section 18 of the Sublease is hereby terminated with respect to the Expansion Subleased Premises but will remain in effect for the remainder of the First Offer Space. |
