EXHIBIT B.2




 


BASIC ANNUAL RENT


 


Effective with this Amendment, the initial Basic Annual Rent shall be $20.25 per rentable square foot per year plus, on a monthly basis, for the two year period commencing January 1, 2013, an amount necessary to amortize the Tenant Improvement funds, with interest computed thereon at the rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum, advanced to the Tenant as provided for in Exhibit D.2. Basic Annual Rent shall be increased by two and a half percent (2.5%) per annum.




 


From the Commencement Date thru the end of 2012, Landlord shall relieve Tenant of the net increase in Basic Annual Rent resulting from this Second Amendment.  The monthly Basic Annual Rent due under the First Amendment to Lease is $23,758.19 for July 2012 and $24,056.53 for August thru December 2012.  As a concession, those will be the same amounts due under this Second Amendment.




 


In the event that Tenant Improvements are not completed by July 15, 2012, due solely to the actions or inactions of Landlord, Tenant will be relieved of the net increase in Basic Annual Rent for an equal amount of time beyond 2012.




 


Landlord has the right to create up to 50,000 sq ft of additional space on the Property (the “Additional Space”). The creation of the Additional Space will reduce the Operating Expenses for the Premises (the “Additional Space Expense Reduction”). Tenant agrees that should Landlord create the Additional Space then the Rent shall be increased (effective as of the date of the inclusion of the Additional Space) by the amount of any Additional Space Expense Reduction.  Such a reduction shall be computed (within six months of the inclusion of Additional Space) by subtracting (i) the Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Operating Expenses and Taxes computed after the inclusion of the Additional Space in the square footage calculations from (ii) Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Operating Expenses and Taxes computed before the inclusion of the Additional Space in the square footage calculations.  Landlord shall provide Tenant with such computations for Tenant’s review.

TENANT IMPROVEMENTS




 


Per a mutually agreed space plan and work letter, Landlord will provide a “Turn Key” build out, including all hard and soft costs, up to $33.00 psf. Landlord will provide up to an additional $100,000 in Tenant Improvement funds, which will be amortized back into the Basic Annual Rent at 18% per annum and paid back over two years starting January 2013.  Any amount over the cap of $33 psf and $100,000 will be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.  Landlord will perform the construction in-house, using Tenant’s architect, SABA Architects for the construction drawings and Landlord’s architect for the rest of the permit submittal drawings and required documents.  Landlord will use its preferred subcontractors, and in the event Landlord’s preferred subcontractors’ pricing does not appear competitive, Landlord agrees to competitively bid the work.  There will be no construction management fee, supervision fee or other fees charged to the Tenant.
