1.                                      Definitions.  All capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meaning as defined in the Lease, unless otherwise defined in this Twelfth Amendment.

 

2.                                      Expansion Space; Term; Rent.  Landlord and Tenant hereby confirm, stipulate and agree that the Existing Premises shall be expanded as of the term commencement date to include an additional 1,091 rentable square feet of office space known as Suite 110, which space is more particularly identified in red outline on Exhibit “A” attached hereto (the “Expansion Space”).  Landlord will deliver possession of the Expansion Space immediately following execution of this Twelfth Amendment for commencement of the construction of Tenant Improvements.  Landlord will diligently pursue completion of construction of the Tenant Improvements following delivery of possession.  The term commencement date (“TCD”) and date of rent commencement with respect to the Expansion Space will be September 1, 2015; provided, however, in the event delivery of possession is delayed or Substantial Completion of Tenant Improvements does not occur by September 1, 2015 and any such delay is caused by Landlord or Landlord’s contractors, then Tenant shall be entitled to receive from Landlord a rent credit equal to one (1) day of free Annual Rent for every one (1) day of any such delay.  Unless sooner terminated as provided in the Lease, and subject to the renewal options contained in the Lease, the expiration date for the lease of the Expansion Space will be January 31, 2025.  Annual Rental for the Expansion Space payable by Tenant under the Lease shall be as follows:

 

	
Months 1 to 60,   inclusive:
   Monthly Installment:

Landlord shall timely pay the cost of Tenant Improvements up to the amount of the Tenant Improvement Allowance.

In the event that the total cost of Tenant Improvements is more than the Tenant Improvement Allowance, then Tenant shall pay such excess costs when such amounts become due and owing to the contractors.

Tenant’s Share attributable to the entire Leased Premises after the addition on the TCD of the Expansion Space shall be 41.32%.  The Operating Expense Base for the Expansion Space shall mean the amount of Operating Expenses for the calendar year 2015.  From and after the TCD, the 5% cap on increases in Tenant’s Share attributable to the Expansion Space as to increases in Operating Expenses, as set forth in Section 4.02(g) of the H&P Lease, shall be applicable to the Expansion Space and Tenant’s Share shall be made in reference to the base amount established in 2015.

 

6.                                      Authority.

(the “Broker”) in connection with the negotiation or execution of this Twelfth Amendment.  Landlord shall indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from and against any cost, expenses or liability for commissions or other compensation or charges of Broker.
