2.01. Landlord leases the Premises to Tenant, and Tenant takes the Premises from Landlord on the terms and conditions of this Lease. As a part of this Lease, Landlord must provide to Tenant the non-exclusive right to use the Parking Facilities based on the number of parking spaces indicated above.

2.02. Subject to Tenant not then being in default under the terms of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to occupy the Premises upon the Substantial Completion Date.

2.04. This Lease is binding on the parties on the Effective Date.

2.05. Tenant acknowledges that as of the Effective Date, Landlord is under contract to acquire property containing the Premises (the “Acquisition Contract”) and does not own fee simple title to the Premises. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Lease, and the Landlord’s obligations hereunder, are expressly conditioned upon the Landlord acquiring fee simple title to the Premises on or after the Effective Date, such condition being for the sole benefit of Landlord. If for whatever reason Landlord is unable to acquire fee simple title to the Premises within 105 days from the Effective Date, then Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice to Tenant at any time, and upon such termination, neither Landlord or Tenant shall have any further obligations hereunder, except that Landlord shall return to Tenant the $200,000 Accelerated Mobilization Reimbursement and $800,000.00 Up Front Tenant Development Deposit, set out in Exhibit C attached hereto.

3. Rent.

3.01. Base Rent for the Initial Term is set forth above in Section 1 of this Lease. The Base Rent for the Option to Renew Term(s) is set forth below in Section 4.02. “Rent”, as used in this Lease, shall mean Base Rent, together with Additional Rent (as defined in Section 3.03 below) and any other charges payable by Tenant hereunder.

3.02. Tenant must pay Rent in advance on the first day of each month. The first such monthly installment of Rent shall be due and payable on the Commencement Date and subsequent installments shall be due and payable on the 1st day of each succeeding calendar month during the Initial Term of this Lease; provided that in the event the Commencement Date is not the 1st day of a particular month, then Rent shall be prorated based on the number of days remaining in the month at the per diem rate equal to the number of days in that particular month, but the initial partial month does not count as a month on the table above. Tenant further may be more than 10 days late twice in a calendar year without penalty. On the third and each later occasion in a calendar year on which Tenant is more than 10 days late, Landlord may deliver to Tenant written notice of delinquency. If Tenant does not pay the full amount due within 15 days from delivery of Landlord’s notice, then, to the fullest extent allowed by law, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge of 5% of the delinquent amount as additional Rent hereunder for any such Rent payment that Tenant is in default of making under the terms of this Lease as an offset to the administrative cost incurred by Landlord to address such default by Tenant, which late charge shall be due and payable in connection with the other Rent to which it relates. The late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of costs Landlord will incur because of the late payment.

 

 

Page 6 of 60 Pages


To the fullest extent allowed by law, (i) Tenant’s obligation to make any payment of Rent which Tenant is in default of paying under the terms of this Lease, or (ii) Landlord’s obligation to make any payment to Tenant which Landlord is in default of paying under the terms of this Lease, shall bear interest at a rate which is the lower of the highest rate allowed by law or ten percent (10%) per annum, from the date due until paid. The interest charges will be due at the same time and as a part of the payment for any such sums due upon which the interest charge was calculated.

Interest and late charges are in addition to all Landlord’s other rights and remedies.

3.03. Commencing upon the Commencement Date and throughout the Term of this Lease, Tenant must pay to Landlord the Operating Expenses (as defined in Section 1 above) as additional rental hereunder in monthly installments, which are subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 3.04 below (collectively, the “Additional Rent”), and which initial Operating Expenses are estimated below:

 

Initial Estimated Operating Expenses:

$4.90 psf of the Building per annum, for monthly installments of $20,416.67 per month

3.04. Estimate of Additional Rent. During each calendar year commencing on the Commencement Date, and during each calendar year thereafter, Tenant must pay Landlord, in advance concurrently with each monthly installment of Base Rent, an amount equal to the estimated Additional Rent for such calendar year or part thereof divided by the number of months therein. The estimate must be calculated as stated herein. The initial estimated Additional Rent is set forth in Section 3.03 above. From year to year, Landlord may re-estimate the Additional Rent to be due by Tenant, based on Landlord’s projected expenses for such calendar year, and deliver a copy of the estimate or re-estimate to Tenant. Thereafter, the monthly installments of Additional Rent payable by Tenant will be appropriately adjusted retroactive to January 1st and in accordance with the estimations so that, by the end of the calendar year in question, Tenant will have paid all the Additional Rent as estimated by Landlord. Any amounts paid based on such an estimate are subject to adjustment when actual Operating Expenses are available for each calendar year, pursuant to Section 3.05 below.

For the purpose of calculating Property Taxes if the tax parcel(s) of which the Premises are a part relate to larger land tract(s), then the Property Taxes shall be prorated by Landlord as follows: (i) for the Property Taxes attributable to the land, a ratio of the total net land area in the Premises to the total net land area in the property affected by the tax parcel(s), and (ii) for the Property Taxes attributable to the improvements, a ratio of the total rentable square footage in the Premises to the total rentable square footage in the property affected by the tax parcel(s). The payment to be made by Tenant for the real estate tax year in which this Lease begins or terminates shall bear the same ratio to the payment which would be required to be made for the full real estate tax year as the number of days of such tax year which elapsed during the term of this Lease bears to the total number of days in the full tax year.

3.05. Recapture of Unrecovered Expenses. By April 1 of each calendar year, or as soon thereafter as practicable. Landlord must furnish Tenant a statement of Landlord’s actual Operating Expenses (“Actual Operating Expenses”). If Tenant’s estimated payments of Additional Rent exceed the Actual Operating Expenses for the year, then Landlord must promptly, at Landlord’s option, either credit Tenant’s account for subsequent payments of Additional Rent or reimburse Tenant for the excess. Likewise, if Tenant’s estimated payments of Additional Rent for such year are less than the Actual Operating Expenses, then Tenant shall pay Landlord the deficiency in a single lump sum payment promptly following written notice by Landlord.

3.06. Audit of Actual Operating Expenses. On fifteen (15) days prior written notice to Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, Tenant and its agents and representatives may inspect and copy Landlord’s business records relating to calculation of Additional Rent attributable to the immediately preceding calendar year only. Such audit right shall be limited to one (1) time per calendar year. Unless otherwise mutually agreed, the inspection will be conducted during Landlord’s normal working hours. Landlord must make the records available at a location in San Antonio, Texas, and shall allow Tenant to make copies of such records at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant will pay Landlord 20 cents a copy for any copies made on Landlord’s machine.

3.07. Independent Covenants. Tenant’s covenant to pay Rent and Landlord’s covenants are independent. Except as expressly provided herein. Tenant shall not abate Rent under any circumstances.

3.08 Assumed Services. At Tenant’s sole option and effective every January 1st of the Term of this Lease, Tenant may elect to assume responsibility for all or any portion of those maintenance and repair services identified as Operating Expenses in subsections (i) through (ix) in Section 1 above, including but not limited to the Essential Services (“Assumed Services”), by providing Landlord with at least ninety (90) days prior written notice of such election, together with a detailed description of such Assumed Services to be provided by Tenant. In such event and upon Tenant’s assumption of the Assumed Services, the Operating Expenses shall exclude such Assumed Services, so long as Tenant remains responsible for and actually performs the Assumed Services in the manner hereafter set forth. In such event, Tenant agrees to be responsible for the Assumed Services for a period of no less than 12 months, and Tenant shall provide the Assumed Services in keeping with the standards of other comparable buildings in the San Antonio, Texas area.

4. Term, Option to Renew Term and Purchase Option.

4.01. The “Term” of this Lease shall mean the Initial Term and any Option to Renewal Term(s) timely exercised by Tenant pursuant to Section 4.02 below, unless sooner terminated.

4.02 Provided that Tenant is not then in default under the terms of this Lease, Tenant shall have the option to renew this Lease for two consecutive eight-year terms (each, an “Option to Renew Term”) upon 120 days prior written notice to Landlord upon the same terms and conditions of this Lease, except that Base Rent shall be at the following rates:

Years 8-15: $18.48 per rentable square feet of the Building per annum, paid in monthly installments of $77,000.00 per month.

Years 16-23: $20.70 per rentable square feet of the Building per annum, paid in monthly installments of $86,250.00 per month.

Tenant shall continue to pay Additional Rent during the Option to Renew Term(s) as provided in Section 3 above.

In the event that Tenant does not elect to renew this Lease after the expiration of the Initial Term only, then Tenant shall timely pay to Landlord a fee of $275,000.00 (the “Non-Renewal Fee). Tenant’s right to extend the Lease for the Option to Renew Term(s) is personal to Tenant and shall not apply to any of Tenant’s assigns or subtenants other than assignees which are formed by the City to carry out the purpose of the educational initiative.

4.03 So long as Tenant is not in default under the terms of this Lease, Landlord grants Tenant an option to purchase the Premises, exercisable by providing prior written notice to Landlord, for a closing on any of the following dates (each, an “Option Closing Date”): (1) on August 31, 2021 (“First Purchase Option”), (2) on August 31, 2029 (“Second Purchase Option”), or (3) on August 31, 2037 (“Third Purchase Option”). If Tenant timely exercises its option to purchase the Premises, Tenant’s option to purchase the Premises is expressly conditioned on Tenant continuing to honor all provisions of this Lease, including payment of Rent, until the closing of the purchase of the Premises. The purchase price for the Premises shall be determined as follows, as adjusted for the pro-ration of revenue and operating expenses as of the applicable Option Closing Date:

 

 

Page 9 of 60 Pages


4.03.1 If the First Purchase Option is timely exercised, the purchase price shall be $13,200,000.00 payable in cash.

4.03.2 If the Second Purchase Option is timely exercised, the purchase price shall be $14,786,000.00 payable in cash.

4.03.3 If the Third Purchase Option is timely exercised, the purchase price shall be $16,560,000.00 payable in cash.

The Premises will be conveyed by Seller free and clear of all encumbrances, other than those of public record and free and clear of all liens other than the inchoate lien for ad valorem taxes. All taxes and other expenses relating to the Premises will be pro rated to the date of the closing of such sale.

4.04 If Tenant intends to exercise an option to purchase the Premises pursuant to the First Purchase Option, the Second Purchase Option or the Third Purchase Option (the “Exercised Option”), Tenant shall provide Landlord with written notice of such intention no later than 180 days prior to the applicable Option Closing Date for such Exercised Option. Within 30 days of the date Tenant provides notice to Landlord of its intent to purchase the Premises, Landlord shall open escrow with a mutually acceptable escrow company located in the City of San Antonio. As a matter of course, Tenant will complete an environmental assessment of the Premises, and in the event that contaminants are found on the Premises, the soil or the groundwater under the Premises and such contamination was not specifically caused by Tenant, then Tenant shall have to either (i) rescind its notice to exercise the Exercised Option by delivering written notice to Landlord prior to the applicable Option Closing Date, in which event the Exercised Option shall automatically terminate, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations with respect to such option, (ii) require Landlord to remediate the contamination, in which case the closing shall occur on the later of the scheduled closing date or 20 days after the contamination has been remediated, provided however if the cost of remediation is greater than 5% of the sales price the Landlord can elect to cancel this sale and Tenant will be deemed to waive its option rights hereunder, or (iii) waive such conditions and proceed to close on the Option Closing Date. For purposes of this Section 4.03 and 4.04, time is of the essence, and Tenant’s right to purchase the Premises is personal to Tenant and shall not apply to any of Tenant’s assigns.

This Ordinance authorizes the City of San Antonio to pay claims which are brought against it or its employees under the Texas Tort Claims Act, § 101.001 et seq., Section 150 of the City Charter, the Federal Civil Rights Act, § 42 U.S.C., 1983, and other applicable statutes. As a political subdivision of the State of Texas, Tenant is subject to the Texas Tort Claims Act, and the obligations of Tenant and the rights of persons claiming against Tenant are subject to that Act.

With respect to the Property Insurance, Tenant purchases a blanket commercial property insurance policy. The broad form coverage protects Tenant’s business personal property and leasehold improvements in accordance with the requirements of this Lease.

11.02.01 Landlord must maintain Commercial General Liability insurance of not less than $1,000,000 that includes coverage for among other things claims that may be made by Landlord’s invitees for injuries suffered while on the Premises (“Landlord’s CGL Insurance”) and a policy of fire and extended coverage insurance (or, at Landlord’s option, an “all-risk” policy) on the Building, in the amount of its

full replacement value with a deductible that does not exceed $5,000.00 (“Landlord’s Casualty Insurance”). Tenant shall pay to Landlord as a part of Additional Rent, the premiums for all fire and extended coverage or all-risk insurance, boiler insurance, rent insurance and property damage insurance which Landlord may elect to carry, from time to time, with respect to the Premises (collectively, the “Insurance Premiums”). For purposes hereof, premiums paid for insurance policies having policy years which do not coincide with calendar years shall be prorated on a per diem basis for each calendar year affected, and total premiums for policies issued for more than one year will be prorated equally over the number of years for the term of such policies, regardless of differences in premium amounts actually paid during any particular year or years of such term. The payment to be made by Tenant for the respective years in which this Lease commenced and terminates shall bear the same ratio to the payment which would be required to be paid for the full year as the number of days of such year which elapsed after commencement or prior to termination of this Lease, as the case may be, bears to the full year. Landlord shall have the right to carry its insurance with respect to the Premises under a “blanket policy” that includes property in addition to the Premises, but the Insurance Premiums shall not exceed the lesser of (i) an amount which would have been applicable in the event Landlord had not carried such insurance under a “blanket policy” or (ii) a cost equal to the proportionate interest of the a 50,000 square foot building to the total number of improved building square feet insured under the blanket policy. The Insurance Premiums shall be reimbursed by Tenant pursuant to this Lease.

11.02.03 Each insurance policy of Landlord required by this Lease must contain the following clauses:

“This insurance cannot be canceled, limited in scope or coverage, or non-renewed until after 30-days’ prior written notice has been given to Tenant and to:

 

City Clerk, City of San Antonio        City of San Antonio
City Hall/2nd Floor        Leasing Division
P. O. Box 839966        P.O. Box 839966
San Antonio, Texas 78283-3966   and      San Antonio, Texas 78283-3966
Attention: Risk Manager       

Each insurance policy required by this Lease must contain the following clause to the extent available to Landlord:

“The Tenant is added as an additional insured as respects operations and activities of, or on behalf of, the named insured performed under this Lease with the City of San Antonio This policy cannot be invalidated as to Tenant because of Landlord’s breach of representation, warranty, declaration, or condition of this policy without 30 days prior written notice to Tenant.”

 

 

Page 16 of 60 Pages


11.02.04. Within 30 days after the Commencement Date and promptly after Tenant’s later request, Landlord must, at its own expense, deliver certificates to Tenant’s Risk Manager and to the City Clerk, reflecting all required insurance coverage, together with copies of policies and endorsements. All endorsements and certificates must be signed by an authorized representative of the insurance company and must include the signatory’s company affiliation and title. If requested by Tenant, Landlord must send Tenant documentation acceptable to Tenant that confirms that the individual signing the endorsements and certificates is authorized to do so by the insurance company. Tenant may request, but Landlord is not obligated to implement, changes in policy terms, conditions, limitations, or exclusions (except where established by law). Any increase in premiums as a result of any changes approved by Landlord and Tenant to such insurance coverages shall become a part of the Insurance Premiums charge and shall be reimbursed by Tenant pursuant to this Lease.

12. Release of Claims/Subrogation.

The insurance requirements of this Lease are a bargained-for allocation of risk of loss. Landlord and Tenant each release the other from claims arising from injury or loss to either of them if the injury or loss is covered by insurance the waiving party is required by this Lease to maintain, whether or not the party actually has the insurance (“Covered Claims”). This release is additional to and does not limit any other release contained in this Lease. Landlord and Tenant, to the maximum extent allowable without causing cancellation of a required policy, will require their insurers to waive subrogation against each other for Covered Claims. This release shall not apply to the amount of any deductible under any insurance policy, and THIS RELEASE DOES NOT APPLY TO CLAIMS CAUSED BY A PARTY’S WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. Nothing in this Section 12 shall be construed to impose any other or greater liability upon either Landlord or Tenant than would have existed in the absence of this Section 12.

13. Indemnity.

LANDLORD covenants and agrees to FULLY INDEMNIFY, DEFEND and HOLD HARMLESS, Tenant and the elected officials, employees, officers, directors, volunteers and representatives of Tenant, individually and collectively, from and against any and all costs, claims, liens, damages, losses, expenses, fees, fines, penalties, proceedings, actions, demands, causes of action, liability and suits of any kind and nature, including but not limited to, personal or bodily injury, death and property damage, made upon Tenant directly or

indirectly arising out of, resulting from or related to LANDLORD’S activities under this Lease, including any acts or omissions of LANDLORD, any agent, officer, director, representative, or employee of LANDLORD, and their respective officers, agents employees, directors and representatives while in the exercise of the rights or performance of the duties under this Lease. The indemnity provided for in this paragraph shall not apply to any liability resulting from the negligence of TENANT, its officers or employees, directors, volunteers and representatives or invitees, in instances where such negligence causes personal injury, death, or property damage. IN THE EVENT LANDLORD AND TENANT, OR TENANT’S OFFICERS OR EMPLOYEES DIRECTORS, VOLUNTEERS AND REPRESENTATIVES OR INVITEES, ARE FOUND JOINTLY LIABLE BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION, LIABILITY SHALL BE APPORTIONED COMPARATIVELY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS FOR THE STATE OF TEXAS, WITHOUT, HOWEVER, WAIVING ANY GOVERNMENTAL IMMUNITY AVAILABLE TO TENANT UNDER TEXAS LAW AND WITHOUT WAIVING ANY DEFENSES OF THE PARTIES UNDER TEXAS LAW.

The provisions of this INDEMNITY are solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and not intended to create or grant any rights, contractual or otherwise, to any other person or entity. LANDLORD shall advise Tenant in writing within 24 hours of any claim or demand against Tenant or LANDLORD known to LANDLORD related to or arising out of LANDLORD’S activities under this LEASE and shall see to the investigation and defense of such claim or demand at LANDLORD’S cost. Tenant shall have the right, at its option and at its own expense, to participate in such defense without relieving LANDLORD of any of its obligations under this paragraph.

14. Casualty/Total or Partial Destruction.

14.01. If the Premises are damaged by casualty, Tenant shall give immediate written notice to Landlord.

(i) If Landlord reasonably believes the damage to cost five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000.00) or less to repair, within thirty (30) days following the date of such notice, Landlord will use reasonable efforts to determine if the Premises can be restored within 180 days thereafter. If Landlord determines that the Premises can be restored within 180 days from the date that the determination as to the restoration is made by the Landlord, Landlord will, at its expense, restore the roof, foundation and structural soundness of the exterior walls of the Premises to the extent same were included in the Landlord’s Work, and all leasehold improvements within the Premises, including interior partitions, ceilings, wiring, light fixtures, and plumbing, to the extent same were included in

 

 

Page 18 of 60 Pages


the Tenant Improvements, all to substantially the same condition in which the same existed prior to the casualty, as the case may be, reasonable wear and tear excepted and only to the extent of insurance proceeds provided to Landlord to address the casualty loss; provided, however, that Landlord shall have no obligation to restore the Premises if there is less than one (1) year remaining in the current Term of the Lease. Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to restore the Premises as quickly as reasonably possible to the extent of the insurance proceeds that are to be made available to Landlord, as set out in Section 14.04, below. If Landlord fails to complete the portion of the restoration for which Landlord is responsible hereunder within 180 days from the date that repairs are commenced by Landlord despite using Landlord’s reasonable diligence, and Tenant is prevented from using the Premises for its Permitted Use, then (i) Tenant may provide notice of intent to terminate the Lease and may terminate this Lease if the restorations are not complete within thirty (30) days after such notice, or (ii) Landlord may terminate this Lease, in each case by written notice delivered to the other provided the notice is delivered before Landlord completes Landlord’s restoration obligations; provided, however, that Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease if Tenant, or its employees or agents, were the cause of such damage.

(ii) If Landlord reasonably believes the damage to cost more than five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000.00) to repair, within ninety (90) days following the date of such notice, Landlord will use reasonable efforts to determine if the Premises can be restored within 270 days thereafter. If Landlord determines that the Premises can be restored within 270 days from the date that the determinate as to the restoration is made by the Landlord, Landlord will, at its expense, restore the roof, foundation and structural soundness of the exterior walls of the Premises to the extent same were included in the Landlord’s Work, and all leasehold improvements within the Premises, including interior partitions, ceilings, wiring, light fixtures, and plumbing, to the extent same were included in the Tenant Improvements, all to substantially the same condition in which the same existed prior to the casualty, as the case may be, reasonable wear and tear excepted and only to the extent of insurance proceeds provided to Landlord to address the casualty loss; provided, however, that Landlord shall have no obligation to restore the Premises if there is less than three (3) years remaining in the current Term of the Lease. Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to restore the Premises as quickly as reasonably possible to the extent of the insurance proceeds that are to be made available to Landlord, as set out in Section 14.04, below. If Landlord fails to complete the portion of the restoration for which Landlord is responsible hereunder within 270 days from the date that repairs are commenced by Landlord despite using Landlord’s reasonable diligence, and Tenant is prevented from using the Premises for its Permitted Use, then (i) Tenant may provide notice of intent to terminate the Lease and may terminate this Lease if the restoration s are not complete within thirty (30) days after such notice, or (ii) Landlord may terminate this Lease, in each case by written notice delivered to the other provided the notice is delivered before Landlord completes Landlord’s restoration obligations; provided, however, that Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease if Tenant, or its employees or agents, were the cause of such damage.

14.02. If Landlord determines that the Premises cannot be restored within the time periods set out in Section 14.01, Landlord at its option may either terminate this Lease (and choose not to restore) or restore the Premises and notify Tenant of the estimated time to restore. Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease within 15 days following Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of such notice of the estimated time to restore.

14.03. During the period before Landlord completes restoration, Rent will be adjusted as may be fair and reasonable to take into consideration those portions of the Building which are not useable by the Tenant, on a per square foot proration.

14.04 No damage or destruction to the Premises shall allow Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises or affect Tenant’s liability for the payment of Rent or any other covenant herein contained, except as may be specifically provided in this Lease. Landlord shall not be obligated to commence any repair, restoration or rebuilding until insurance proceeds are received by Landlord, and Landlord’s obligations hereunder shall be limited to the proceeds received by Landlord under its insurance policy or Tenant’s insurance policy, as the case may be.

14.05 As with the insurance requirements, the rebuilding obligations of this paragraph are a bargained-for allocation of risk.

14.06 In the event the Premises is not reconstructed Landlord will pay Tenant the $2,000,000 term completion incentive as described in this Lease as well as insurance proceeds paid to the Landlord and Tenant in the following manner:

(i) all proceeds relating to the loss of the Base Building Improvements will be payable to Landlord.

(ii) as for the proceeds relating to the loss of the Tenant Improvements, the Tenant will receive that portion of those proceeds which is provided for the loss of the Tenant Improvements multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months remaining under the terms of the Lease and the denominator of which is the total number of months under the terms of the Lease, assuming each option which was capable of being exercised at the time of the Lease termination had been exercised (but excluding those option periods which were not capable of being exercised due to the lapse of time to make a timely election or otherwise).

 

 

Page 20 of 60 Pages


(iii) the remainder of the insurance proceeds relating to the loss of the Tenant Improvements will be payable to the Landlord.

14.07 In the event the Landlord determines that the Premises can be restored within the time periods set out in Section 14.1, above, and the Tenant reasonably determines that the Landlord’s restoration process will not cause the Premise to be restored within such period, the Tenant may provide notice to Landlord of its desire to cause the work to be completed by Tenant and may pursue such work if, within fifteen (15) days thereafter the Landlord has not provided a reasonable explanation as to why completion on the time table determined by Landlord is reasonable. If Tenant undertakes this work, as set out above, it shall do so at its sole cost and expense and, upon completion. Landlord’s will reimburse Tenant for Tenant’s reasonable actual third party cost in doing so, up to but not exceeding the Landlord unexpended portions of any insurance proceeds received by Landlord for the restoration process.

15. Condemnation/Substantial or Partial Taking.

15.01. If the Premises or any portion of them are taken by eminent domain, or sale in lieu of eminent domain, by any entity other than Tenant or any entity controlled by Tenant, the Lease automatically terminates as to the part so taken as of the date the condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever occurs first.

15.02. If entire Premises are not taken, the Rent payable during the unexpired portion of the Term will be adjusted as may be fair and reasonable.

15.03. Tenant has no claim to the condemnation award or proceeds in lieu of condemnation.

16. Holdover.

16.01. If the Lease has not been earlier terminated according to its terms and Tenant is current on rent, both after the Initial Term and after any renewals provided for in this Lease, Tenant may holdover for up to six additional months on a month-to-month basis on the same terms and conditions herein, except that Base Rent shall be one hundred twelve and one-half percent (112.5%) of the Base Rent for the immediately preceding calendar month. Tenant need not give advance notice of intent to exercise this holdover right, and it need not hold over all of the allowable six months.

16.02. Whenever this Lease refers to the Term, events to occur during the Term, or rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant during the Term, a holdover period is considered a part of the Term.

2. Building Improvements and Other Work to be Completed at Landlord’s Expense.

2.1. Landlord represents that all of Landlord’s Work and Tenant Improvements (as defined below) shall be constructed to Substantial Completion on or before the Estimated Substantial Completion Date as may be extended under the terms of the Lease to the Outside Delivery Date. “Landlord’s Work” shall include the base building improvements described on Attachment A hereto (the “Base Building Improvements”). “Tenant Improvements” shall have the meaning set forth in Section 3 below. Landlord shall cause all portions of Landlord’s Work and Tenant Improvements to comply with the access requirements of ADA at Landlord’s sole cost and expense.

2.2. Landlord shall be solely responsible for the delivering to the designated Architect “as built” plans for Landlord’ Work. In the event the Architect charges additional fees for development or verification of the “as built” plans, such fees shall be borne solely by the Landlord and shall not be charged to Tenant.

3. Improvements to be Completed by Landlord and Considered Tenant Improvements

The term “Tenant Improvements” shall mean all improvements identified in Attachment B attached hereto. Landlord and Tenant will carry out construction of the Tenant Improvements in the manner set out in this Work Letter.

4. Project Tasks to be Completed as Detailed Below

4.1 Landlord and Tenant agree that Villa Park Architecture is the designated architect for the Tenant Improvements (“Architect”) and that the Contractor (as referenced in Section 6 below) shall be responsible for retaining a qualified licensed engineer (“Engineer”) to complete the Tenant Improvements. Tenant, at its option may direct Landlord to hire an alternative architect or engineer (“Alternate A/E”). The services of the Alternate A/E can be used to review the drawings prepared by Architect and/or Engineer. The costs associated with services provided by the Alternate A/E shall be paid by Landlord using the Tenant Improvement Reimbursement.

4.2 On or before ninety (90) days following the Effective Date, Tenant shall submit to Landlord a space plan and specifications for the Premises, showing all Tenant requested demising walls, corridors, entrances, exits, doors, interior partitions, and the locations of all offices, conference rooms, computer rooms, mini-service kitchens, reception area and library room (collectively the “Space Plan”).

4.3 Within 105 days of the Effective Date, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a preliminary budget of the costs to complete the Tenant Improvements (the “Preliminary Budget”). The Preliminary Budget will outline the estimated costs to be paid by Tenant to Landlord for the Tenant Improvements, including permit fees, Architectural and Engineering fees, a construction supervision fee equal to 3% of the hard cost of the Tenant Improvements, excluding any costs associated with Architectural and Engineering fees, permit fees, and any other cost not attributable to the actual amount required to build the Tenant Improvements (the “Construction Supervision Fee”), a contingency line item equal to 10% of the hard costs to

 

 

Page 41 of 60 Pages


construct the Tenant Improvements and any other costs that Landlord expects will be incurred as a part of carrying out the Tenant Improvements. The Preliminary Budget will also indicate any costs attributable to Landlord’s Work so that Tenant has an understanding of the costs Landlord estimates it will incur to complete the Landlords Work and Tenant Improvements. In the event that the Preliminary Budget indicates a cost for completion that exceeds 100% of the Tenant Improvement Reimbursement that is available to fund Tenant Improvements, the Landlord and Tenant shall work cooperatively to reduce the project scope to meet a target completion cost that is not more than 100% of the Tenant Improvement Reimbursement that is available for Tenant Improvements. Such budget shall be revised into final form as provided in Section 7, below.

5. Preparation of Plans and Specifications and Construction Schedule.

5.1 Within 10 days of the Effective Date, Landlord shall instruct the Architect to commence preparation of Working Drawings (the “Working Drawings”), which must be compatible with the design, construction and equipment of the Building, comply with all applicable laws, be capable of physical measurement and construction, contain all such information as may be required for the construction of the Tenant Improvements and the preparation of the Engineering Drawings (as defined below), and contain all partition locations, plumbing locations, air conditioning system and duct work, special air conditioning requirements, reflected ceiling plans, office equipment locations, and special security systems. The Working Drawings may be submitted in one or more stages and at one or more times. Landlord shall provide Tenant the Working Drawings, or such portion as has from time to time been submitted, for review. Tenant agrees to respond with any comments thereto (with specified reason if it does not approve) within 5 business days following any submittal by Landlord to Tenant of such portion(s) of the Working Drawings. In the event the Tenant provides objections to the Working Drawings as proposed by Landlord, Landlord will accommodate the changes set out as the specific reasons for the objections unless (i) the accommodation will cause the cost of the Tenant Improvements to go over the authorized expenditures in the Preliminary Budget and Tenant does not agree in its objection to increase the Final Budget to accommodate the cost, or (ii) the accommodation will cause the time frame to carry out the Tenant Improvements to be extended and the Tenant does not agree in its objection to extend the Estimated Completion Date by the amount of the extra time required to provide for the accommodation. If Tenant does not provide for the increased time frame or budget, as set out above, the objections will be waived and the Landlord will use reasonable efforts to construct the Tenant Improvements in a manner that addresses the Tenant’s objections to the Working Drawings in a manner that will not increase the Final Budget or increase the time to construct the Tenant Improvements. Landlord and Tenant hereby instruct the Architect to cause the Working Drawings to comply with all applicable building codes and be drawn free from errors or omissions on the part of the Architect to the extent same affect the Tenant’s rights to use and occupy the Premises for its Permitted Use. At such time as the Working Drawings are approved by Landlord and Tenant, with the Engineering Drawings incorporated therein, as set forth below, they shall be referred to as the “Working Drawings.”

 

 

Page 42 of 60 Pages


5.2 Landlord shall cause the Architect to coordinate all engineering drawings prepared by the Engineer, showing complete mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC plans (“Engineering Drawings”) for the Tenant Improvements to be integrated into the Working Drawings. The Engineering Drawings may be submitted in one or more stages and at one or more times for Tenant’s review. Tenant agrees to respond with any comments thereto (with specified reason if it does not approve) within 5 business days following any submittal by Landlord to Tenant of such portion(s) of the Engineering Drawings. In the event the Tenant provides objections to the Engineering Drawings as proposed by Landlord, Landlord will accommodate the changes set out as the specific reasons for the objections unless (i) the accommodation will cause the cost of the Tenant Improvements to go over the authorized expenditures in the Final Budget and Tenant does not agree in its objection to increase the Final Budget to accommodate the cost, or (ii) the accommodation will cause the time frame to carry out the Tenant Improvements to be extended and the Tenant does not agree in its objection to extend the Outside Delivery Date by the amount of the extra time required to provide for the accommodation. If Tenant does not provide for the increased time frame or budget, as set out above, the objections will be waived and the Landlord will use reasonable efforts to construct the Tenant Improvements in a manner that addresses the Tenant’s objections to the proposed Engineering Drawings in a manner that will not increase the Final Budget or increase the time to construct the Tenant Improvements. At such time as the Engineering Drawings are approved by Landlord and Tenant, they shall be referred to as the Engineering Drawings.

5.3. After Tenant has approved the Engineering Drawings, Landlord shall cause the Architect to integrate the approved Working Drawings with the approved Engineering Drawings (collectively “Final Plans”) and deliver five sets of the Final Plans for the Tenant Improvements to Tenant. The Final Plans shall be suitable for a) plan check review and permitting by local agencies having jurisdiction and, b) for the layout, improvement and finish of the Premises consistent with the design of the Space Plan and construction of the Base Building Improvements, including electrical and mechanical drawings, capacity reports, dimensioned partition plans, floor plans, power, telephone communications safety devices, construction detail sheets including millwork detail plans showing the location of partitions, light fixtures, electrical outlets, telephone sprinklers, doors, (including voltage, amps, phase, and special plugs and connections), wall finishes, floor coverings, millwork and other Tenant Improvements.

5.4 Approval by Tenant of the Working Drawings and Engineering Drawings shall be deemed approval of the Final Plans and shall act as a confirmation by Tenant as to the adequacy or correctness of the design of the Tenant Improvements.

 

 

Page 43 of 60 Pages


5.5. Within 10 days after approval by Landlord and Tenant of the Working Drawings and the Final Budget, (as set forth below), or as soon as practicable thereafter, Landlord shall submit to Tenant a detailed construction schedule, subject to approval by Tenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, setting forth the estimated dates for specific completion of the Tenant Improvements, including, but not limited to, submission of plans to local jurisdiction for review, issuance of building permit, submission of plans to contractors for bidding, award of construction contract, construction commencement, construction completion, projected Commencement Date and other similar dates (“Construction Schedule”). Landlord’s failure to include any days attributable to Tenant Delay occurring prior to the preparation of the Construction Schedule shall be deemed to indicate that up until the date the Construction Schedule was prepared, no instances of Tenant Delay occurred and Landlord shall be barred from adjusting the Outside Delivery Date for Tenant Delay’s occurring prior to the delivery of the Construction Schedule. Tenant agrees to issue its approval or disapproval (with specified reason therefore) within 5 business days following any submittal by the Landlord of the detailed Construction Schedule. In the event the Tenant provides objections to the Construction Schedule as proposed by Landlord, Landlord will accommodate the changes set out as the specific reasons for the objections unless (i) the accommodation will cause the cost of the Tenant Improvements to go over the authorized expenditures in the Final Budget and Tenant does not agree in its objection to increase the Final Budget to accommodate the cost, or (ii) the accommodation will cause the time frame to carry out the Tenant Improvements to be extended and the Tenant does not agree in its objection to extend the Outside Delivery Date by the amount of the extra time required to provide for the accommodation. If Tenant does not provide for the increased time frame or budget, as set out above, the objections will be waived and the Landlord will use reasonable efforts to construct the Tenant Improvements in a manner that addresses the Tenant’s objections to the Construction Schedule in a manner that will not increase the Final Budget or increase the time to construct the Tenant Improvements. At such time as the Construction Schedule is approved by Landlord and Tenant, it shall be as the Construction Schedule.

6. Selection of Contractor for Tenant Improvements

Tenant has approved and agrees that Landlord may select the general contractor for the purpose of carrying out the Landlord’s Work and the Tenant Improvements, provided any construction contract for the Tenant Improvements will require the general contractor to retain subcontractors and materials consistent with the SBEDA rules for the City of San Antonio, Texas; or such percentage as may be agreed to between Landlord and Tenant.

 

 

Page 44 of 60 Pages


7. Final Budget and Payment of Tenant Construction Costs.

7.1 At least 10 days prior to commencement of Tenant Improvement Reimbursement, Landlord shall submit a construction budget outlining all costs to complete the Tenant Improvements including a contingency line item equal to 10% of the hard costs to construct the Tenant Improvements, the Construction Supervision Fee and in a format similar to the Preliminary Budget referred to herein as the “Final Budget”. Tenant shall have 5 business days from the date of receipt of the Final Budget to approve or disapprove (giving specific reasons therefore) the Final Budget. In the event the Tenant provides objections to the proposed Final Budget, as proposed by Landlord, Landlord will accommodate the changes set out as the specific reasons for the objections unless (i) the accommodation will cause the cost of the Tenant Improvements to go over the authorized expenditures in the Final Budget and Tenant does not agree in its objection to increase the Final Budget to accommodate the cost, or (ii) the accommodation will cause the time frame to carry out the Tenant Improvements to be extended and the Tenant does not agree in its objection to extend the Estimated Completion Date by the amount of the extra time required to provide for the accommodation. If Tenant does not provide for the increased time frame or budget, as set out above, then the objections will be waived and the Landlord will use reasonable efforts to construct the Tenant Improvements in a manner that addresses the Tenant’s objections to the proposed Final Budget, in a manner that will not increase the Final Budget or increase the time to construct the Tenant Improvements.

7.2 In the event a change in conditions or circumstances should arise after the approval of the Final Budget attributable specifically to a change requested by Tenant, or a cost should arise which Tenant has not approved as a part of the Final Budget or Final Plans, Landlord will bring any such expense to the attention of Tenant and Tenant will agree to modify the Final Budget to accommodate such cost (i) to the extent the sums are required to cause the Tenant Improvements to be constructed in accordance with the Final Plans; (ii) and the expense, when combined with all other expenses added to the Final Budget under this paragraph do not exceed the Tenant Improvement Reimbursement. If the cost due to change in condition should exceed the Final Budget, and Tenant does not agree to amend the Final Budget, the Tenant Improvements will be completed by Landlord without such modification and the Tenant Improvements will be completed by Landlord as originally contracted.

7.3 Tenant may, after approval of the Final Plans, request changes to the Final Plans. Any changes are subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval. In the event a Change Order is made and, where required the Landlord approves any of Tenant’s requested revisions to the Final Plans (the “Change Order”), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, Tenant shall pay to Landlord within thirty (30) days following request for the Change Order, in addition to any other amounts which are payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, all of Landlord’s extra costs associated with such Change Order as set out in the Change Order Invoice to be delivered to Tenant, as set out below, including, but not limited

 

 

Page 45 of 60 Pages


to a construction management fee and associated architectural and engineering fees, if any. Landlord shall not be required to approve a Change Order if the requested changes does not materially change the improvement set out in the Final Plans. Prior to implementing any requested Change Order to the Final Plans, Landlord will prepare and deliver to Tenant for Tenant’s approval a “Change Order Invoice” setting forth the cost of such requested Change Order and the number of days of Construction Delays and Tenant Delay arising in connection therewith. If Tenant fails to approve, execute and deliver to Landlord such Change Order Invoice within five (5) business days following the delivery of the Change Order Invoice by Landlord, Tenant will be deemed to have withdrawn the proposed request for the Change Order and Tenant will not be charged any costs associated with the Change Order.

7.4 Landlord shall cause to be constructed the Tenant Improvements in the manner set out in this Work Letter: however Landlord’s obligations to carry out these obligations are subject to payment to the Landlord of the Tenant Improvement Reimbursement and Tenant’s compliance with its payment obligation set out in this Work Letter. ,Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord all of the Approved Costs incurred by Landlord to construct the Tenant Improvements, which cost shall be paid in increments on or before each Tenant Improvement Reimbursement Payment Date, as set out above. For the purpose of this Work Letter, “Approved Costs” are any costs set out in the Final Budget, any Change Order as approved by Tenant and Landlord or any other cost approved by Tenant.

7.5 Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord a fee in the amount of $200,000.00, as the Accelerated Mobilization Reimbursement, which fee will be paid to Landlord in good funds on the Effective Date to assist in defraying the cost incurred by Landlord to address the construction schedule of Tenant.

7.6 Notwithstanding Landlord’s right to move forward with the Tenant Improvements in the event Tenant fails to take action as provided in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 above, in no event shall the Tenant Improvement cost exceed the Tenant Improvement Reimbursement plus any other increase in sums available for such work pursuant to a Change Order as approved by Tenant and Landlord or any other cost approved by Tenant unless Tenant expressly authorizes Landlord to exceed the such sums.

7.7 Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the sum of $800,000.00, as the Up Front Tenant Development Deposit, which sums will be paid to Landlord in good funds on the Effective Date.

8. Construction of Tenant Improvements

FIRST AMENDMENT TO LEASE

This First Amendment to Lease (this “Amendment”) is entered into to be effective as of April 8, 2016 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Flamingo Cay, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Landlord”), and San Antonio Early Childhood Education Municipal Development Corporation, a Texas nonprofit corporation (“Tenant”), as an amendment to that certain Lease dated October 1, 2013 (the “Lease”), between Landlord and Tenant concerning certain premises currently containing approximately 5.43 acres of land, a single story building containing approximately 50,000 square feet, a parking lot containing approximately 250 parking spaces, and multiple playground areas, as more particularly described in the Lease (the “Existing Premises”). All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Lease.

Landlord and Tenant desire to redefine the Premises and hereby agree to amend the Lease as follows:

1. Premises. The Premises shall be redefined to be Lot 23, Block 6, New City Block 11379, Pre-K4 SA, West MAOZ, in the City of San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas, according to a plat thereof recorded in Volume 9670, Page 187-188, Deed and Plat Records of Bexar County, Texas; it being agreed that any portion of the original description of the Premises not described above shall no longer be encumbered by the Lease. The parties agree to execute a Memorandum of Lease reflecting the new description of the Premises, if necessary. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the number of parking spaces in the Parking Facilities is 207. Accordingly, the “No. of Parking Spaces,” as defined in Section 1 of the Lease, shall be modified by deleting “250” and replacing it with “207.” Additionally, (ii) in the definition for “Premises” in Section 1 of the Lease shall be modified by deleting “250” and replacing it with “207.”

2. Cross Access and Parking. The City of San Antonio, Texas (“COSA”), currently owns approximately 4.476 acres of land adjacent to the west side of the Premises and located at 1243 Enrique M. Barrerra Parkway, in San Antonio, Texas, as more particularly described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes (the “COSA Property”). Landlord hereby agrees that, in the event that COSA desires to have cross access rights on the Premises (“Access Rights”), Landlord shall grant such reasonable, non-exclusive rights in accordance with the terms of this paragraph. The Access Rights would be unique to COSA with COSA allowed to assign its rights to Tenant, would terminate upon the sale of the COSA Property by COSA or the termination of the Lease, and would not run with the land as a benefit to the COSA Property; provided, however, that the Access Rights will run with the land as a burden to the Premises for so long as Tenant is occupying the Premises and the Lease remains in full force and effect and for so long as COSA owns the COSA Property. Additionally, the Access Rights would not include any rights to park on the Premises, and COSA’s parking needs and requirements shall be fulfilled without any burden on the Premises.

3. Effect of Amendment. Except as amended by this Amendment, the Lease shall remain in full force and effect and is ratified by Landlord and Tenant. In the event the terms, covenants, or conditions of this Amendment conflict with the terms, covenants, or conditions of the Lease, the terms of this Amendment shall control.

4. Time. Time is of the essence in all matters pertaining to the performance of this Amendment. If, however, the final date of any period set forth in this Amendment falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday under the laws of the United States or the State of Texas, then, in such event, the time of such period shall be extended to the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday.
