Premises

	 	 	 	 	 

 

 

EXHIBIT “B”

ADDITIONAL LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS

(Allowance)

     1. WORKING DRAWINGS. Landlord shall cause to be prepared plans, specifications and
construction drawings of all improvements that Tenant proposes to install in the Additional
Premises (“Additional Leasehold Improvements”), which Additional Leasehold Improvements are
generally described as follows: warehouse lights, roof-mounted heating and ventilation equipment,
dock packages, demising wall and an opening in the existing wall. The Additional Leasehold
Improvements shall be substantially the same as the Leasehold Improvements. As used herein,
“Working Drawings” shall mean the final plans, specifications and construction drawings, as
amended from time to time, and “Work” shall mean the work required to construct and install
all Additional Leasehold Improvements to be constructed in accordance with and as indicated on the
Working Drawings. Preparation by Landlord of the Working Drawings shall not be a representation or
warranty of Landlord, and shall create no responsibility or liability on the part of Landlord, with
respect to their adequacy for any use, purpose or condition, their completeness, design
sufficiency, or compliance with any laws, rules or regulations of governmental agencies or
authorities, but shall merely be the consent of Landlord to the performance of the Work. Tenant
shall, at Landlord’s request, sign the Working Drawings to evidence its review and approval thereof.
All changes in the Work must receive the prior written approval of Landlord, and in the event of
any such approved change Tenant shall, upon completion of the Work, furnish Landlord with an
accurate, reproducible “as-built” plan (e.g., sepia) of the Additional Leasehold Improvements as
constructed, which plan shall be incorporated into this First Amendment by this reference for all
purposes.

     2. CONTRACTOR Landlord shall enter into the construction contract (“Contract”) with the
contractor who has been selected by Landlord to perform the Work (“Contractor”). The Contract shall
be in form and substance acceptable to Landlord. The Contractor and all subcontractors shall be
required to procure and maintain (a) insurance against such risks, in such amounts, and with such
companies as Landlord may reasonably require and such insurance policies must name Landlord and
Landlord’s mortgagee as additional insureds and (b) if Landlord so elects, payment and performance
bonds covering the cost of the Work and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Certificates
of such insurance, with paid receipts therefor, and copies of such bonds must be received by
Landlord before the Work is commenced.

     3. TOTAL CONSTRUCTION COSTS. Tenant shall bear the entire cost of performing the Work
(including, without limitation, the cost of preparing the Working Drawings, costs of construction
labor and materials, removing any improvements currently in the Premises (including the Additional
Premises), electrical usage during construction, additional janitorial services, general tenant
signage, and related taxes and insurance costs, all of which costs are herein collectively called
the “Total Construction Costs”) in excess of the Construction Allowance (hereinafter
defined). Upon completion of the
Work, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a construction management fee in an amount equal to five percent
(5%) of the total costs of construction, labor, materials, and removal of any improvements
currently in the Premises (including the Additional Premises) and such fee shall be deducted from
the Construction Allowance.

     4. CONSTRUCTION ALLOWANCE. Landlord shall provide to Tenant a construction allowance
(“Construction Allowance”) for the purpose of defraying the cost of constructing the
Additional Leasehold Improvements which Construction Allowance shall be equal to the lesser of (i)
the Total Construction Costs or (ii) $449,162.00.

     5. PAYMENT OF CONSTRUCTION COSTS. (a) Upon the selection of the Contractor, Tenant

B-1

 

shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to Landlord’s estimate of the difference between (i) the
Total Construction Costs, and (ii) the Construction Allowance (such difference being referred to
herein as the “Excess Construction Costs”). Landlord shall not have any obligation to
commence construction until Landlord has received the Excess Construction Costs. Landlord shall have
the right at any time, and from time to time, during the performance of the Work to reasonably
revise its estimate of the Excess Construction Costs, and if so revised, Tenant shall pay to
Landlord, within 3 days after such revised estimate is delivered to Tenant, the increase in the
Excess Construction Costs pursuant to such revised estimate. Upon completion of the Work Landlord
shall determine the actual Excess Construction Costs and if Tenant has overpaid or underpaid the
Excess Construction Costs Landlord shall refund the amount of such overpayment to Tenant, or Tenant
shall pay the amount of the underpayment to Landlord (as the case may be), within three (3) days
after the final determination of the Excess Construction Costs by Landlord.

     (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Construction Allowance shall not
be used for (and Landlord shall have no obligation to use or advance any portion of the
Construction Allowance for) the cost of furniture, fixtures or equipment which are not permanently
attached to the Land or the Building (including, but not limited to, tenant signage, telephone
equipment, or any other special utility service lines needed by Tenant for its use of the
Premises).

     6. CONSTRUCTION WARRANTIES. Upon completion of the Work, Landlord shall assign to Tenant on
a non-exclusive basis (it being agreed that Landlord shall retain the right to pursue warranty
claims under all such warranties) all manufacturers’ and contractors’ warranties obtained by
Landlord covering the Work. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in securing the performance by any
manufacturer, contractor or subcontractor of the warranty provided by any such party with respect
to the Work.

     7. LEASE CONSTRUCTION PROVISIONS. To the extent not inconsistent with this Exhibit, Paragraph
7 of the Lease shall govern the performance of the Work and the Landlord’s and Tenant’s
respective rights and obligations regarding the improvements installed pursuant thereto.

(“Landlord”) and Victor Equipment Company, a Delaware Corporation (“Tenant”).

W I T N E S S E T H   T H A T:

     WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain Lease Agreement dated
September 22, 2003 (the “Original Lease”);

     WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant also executed that certain First Amendment to Lease
dated effective as of May 1, 2004 (the “First Amendment”);

     WHEREAS, the Original Lease, as amended by the First Amendment, is referred to herein as the

     WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to modify certain provisions of the Lease and agree to
certain other matters as set forth below.

     NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration including the amendments stated herein,
the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

	 	1.	 	Defined Terms. Capitalized terms not defined in this Second Amendment Shall have the
meanings assigned to such terms in the Lease. To the extent that there is any conflict between
any provision of the Lease and this Second Amendment, this Second Amendment shall control.
	 
	 	2.	 	Term. The “Term” of the Lease is hereby extended until 5:00 p.m. on February
28, 2015 (the “Expiration Date”), subject to adjustment and earlier termination as
provided in the Lease.
	 
	 	3.	 	Base Rent. The term “Base Rent” is hereby amended by replacing the definition of Base
Rent set forth in the Lease with the following amounts payable in advance, without demand,
deduction or set off, during the time periods indicated:

	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	Months	 	Corresponding	 	Monthly	 	Annual	 	Per Square Foot

          (Subject to adjustments as provided in the Lease)

Page 1 of 4

 

	 	4.	 	Expired Right of First Offer. Landlord and Tenant hereby acknowledge and agree that
the Right of First Offer described in Exhibits “G” and “G-1” to the Lease has
expired and is of no further effect. Accordingly, Exhibits “G” and “G-1” to the Lease are
hereby deleted in their entirety.
	 
	 	5.	 	Grant of New Right of First Offer. From and after the date hereof, Landlord hereby
grants to Tenant a right of first offer (“ROFO”) to lease the remaining leasable space
in the Building which consists of approximately 100,667 square feet, more particularly
identified as the cross-batched area on Exhibit “A” attached to this Second Amendment
(the “Additional Space”) in accordance with the terms set forth herein. At such time
as Landlord desires to lease all or a portion of the Additional Space to an unaffiliated third
party (“Third Party”), Landlord shall give Tenant written notice thereof (“Offer
Notice”) and shall offer to lease to Tenant the Additional Space upon the trams and
conditions stated in the Offer Notice. The Offer Notice shall specify the portion of the
Additional Space subject to such offer, the rent to be paid for such Additional Space, and the
date on which the Additional Space in question shall be included in the Premises. Tenant may
exercise the ROFO by delivering written notice (the “ROFO Election Notice”) to
Landlord, within twenty-one (21) days after Landlord delivers the Offer Notice to Tenant (the
“ROFO Exercise Period”), that Tenant elects to lease all of such Additional Space, at
the rental rate and upon the other terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Notice. If
Tenant timely elects to lease such Additional Space by delivering the ROFO Election Notice
within the ROFO Exercise Period, then Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to the
Lease, effective as of the date such Additional Space is to be included in the Premises, and
providing for Tenant’s leasing of such Additional Space on the same terms and conditions as
set forth in the Offer Notice. If Tenant fails or is unable to timely exercise the ROFO by
delivering the ROFO Election Notice to Landlord within the ROFO Exercise Period, then Tenant’s
rights with regard to the ROFO shall terminate, time being of the essence with respect to the
exercise thereof, and Landlord may lease all or any portion of the Additional Space to the
Third Party or to any other party upon terms which are acceptable to Landlord. In the event
that Landlord fails to execute a Lease with the  Third Party or any other party within one
hundred eighty (180) days after the end of the ROFO Exercise Period, then (i) Tenant’s ROFO
will be reinstituted with regard to the Additional Space, and (ii) Landlord must again comply
with the terms of this Section before leasing the Additional Space to the Third Party or any
other party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary. Tenant may not exercise its rights
under the ROFO if Tenant is in default under the Lease or if Tenant is not then occupying the
entire Premises. Tenant’s rights under the ROFO shall terminate if (a) the Lease or Tenant’s
right of possession of the Premises is terminated or expires, or (b) Tenant assigns any of its
interest in this Lease or sublets any portion of the Premises (other than to an Affiliate).
	 
	 	6.	 	Renewal Option.
	 
	 	 	 	(a) Provided the Lease is still then in full force and effect and further provided that
Tenant is not in default under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease,
Tenant shall have one (1) option (the “Renewal Option”) to extend the Term of the
Lease for a period of sixty (60) months following the Expiration Date (the “Renewal
Term”). To exercise this Renewal Option, Tenant shall, no earlier than fifteen (15)
months prior to the Expiration Date, and no later than fourteen (14) months prior to the
Expiration Date, send written notice (“Renewal Exercise Notice”) to indicating that
Tenant desires to exercise the Renewal Option. If Tenant timely exercises the Renewal Option
in accordance with the provisions and limitations set forth herein, the Term of the Lease shall be
extended for the

Page 2 of 4

 

	 	 	 	Renewal Term upon all of the then applicable terms, convenants and conditions contained in
the Lease, except that the Base Rent payable during such Renewal Term shall be at an annual
rate determined as set forth in Section 6(b) below, it being understood that such Base Rent
due during the Renewal Term shall be payable in equal monthly installments, in advance,
without demand, deduction or set off, in the same manner as during the Term of the Lease
immediately prior to the Renewal Term.
	 
	 	 	 	(b) The Base Rent for the Renewal Term shall be at the prevailing “Market Rate”
rental value for space of equivalent quality, size, utility and location in the area (taking
into consideration the length of the Renewal Term, the credit status of Tenant, and all
other relevant factors). To determine the Market Rate rental value of the Premises for the
Renewal Term, Landlord shall provide Tenant with Landlord’s written designation
(“Landlord’s Designation”) of what Landlord believes, in its sole discretion, the
Market Rate rental value to be, indicating the Base Rent to be charged for the Renewal Term.
Landlord’s Designation shall be sent to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s
receipt of Tenant’s Renewal Exercise Notice. Within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt
of Landlord’s Designation (the “Negotiation Period”), Tenant may do any of the
following:

	 	(i)	 	accept the Market Rate rental value set forth in Landlord’s
Designation by delivering written notice of such acceptance to Landlord;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	reject the Market Rate rental value set forth in Landlord’s
Designation and propose a counteroffer by delivering written notice to
Landlord (“Notice of Counteroffer”); or
	 
	 	(iii)	 	reject the Market Rate rental value set forth in Landlord’s
Designation and retract Tenant’s Renewal Exercise Notice by delivering written
notice (“Notice of Non-Renewal”) to Landlord prior to the end of the
Negotiation Period, in which case the Lease shall terminate on the Expiration
Date.

	 	 	 	(c) If Tenant delivers a Notice of Counteroffer and both Landlord and Tenant agree upon the
Market Rate rental value of the Premises for the Renewal Term, then, prior to the end of the
Negotiation Period, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to the Lease setting
forth the Base Rent for the Renewal Term. If Landlord and Tenant fail to execute such an
amendment during the Negotiation Period and if Tenant fails to deliver a Notice of
Non-Renewal to Landlord during the Negotiation Period, then Tenant shall be deemed to have
accepted Landlord’s Designation, and the Lease will be automatically extended for the
Renewal Term upon all of the then applicable terms, covenants and conditions contained in
the Lease, except that the Base Rent payable during such Renewal Term shall be as set forth
in Landlord’s Designation.
	 
	 	 	 	(d) Time is of the essence with respect to the exercise of the Renewal Option. Tenant shall
not have the right to give any notice exercising the Renewal Option after the expiration of
the applicable time limitation set forth herein, and any
notice given after such time limitation purporting to exercise such Renewal Option shall
void and of no force or effect.
	 
	 	7.	 	Tenant Acknowledgement. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that (a) Landlord has
performed all of its obligations under the Lease, and (b) there are no offsets, claims or
defenses to the payment of rent and the performance of the other obligations of Tenant under
the Lease.

Page 3 of 4

 

	 	8.	 	General. Except as herein amended, the Lease shall continue in full force and effect,
and, as hereby amended, is hereby ratified and affirmed. This Second Amendment may be executed
in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be identical, but which together will constitute
one and the same instrument. The parties may execute and exchange counterparts of the
signature pages of this Second Amendment by facsimile, which shall be deemed originals for all
purposes.

     IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Second Amendment under seal of the date and
year written below.
