3.
Provided this Lease is in full force and effect and there is no "event of default" under Paragraph 21 of the Lease, Basic Rent shall abate for five (5) months from March 1, 2025 through July 31, 2025.

 

4.
Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that Tenant has exercised all of its options under the Lease and there are no future options to extend.

 

5.
(a) Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that pursuant to Paragraph 12 of the Third Amendment, Tenant's restoration obligations in respect of alterations, additions and/or improvements heretofore made by Tenant shall be limited to the work set forth on Exhibit C attached thereto. Landlord and Tenant hereby agree that in consideration of Landlord assuming responsibility for those restoration obligations set forth on Exhibit C for which the word "Landlord" has been inserted immediately following the description of the restoration obligation, Tenant shall pay Landlord the Restoration Payment and Restoration Fee Payment as set forth below. Notwithstanding payment of the Restoration Payment and Restoration Fee Payment, the parties acknowledge and agree that additional restoration obligations will be owing in the future by the Tenant to the Landlord to the extent that Tenant makes additional alterations, additions and/or improvements to the Premises after the date hereof.

 

(i)
Simultaneously with the execution of this Fourth Amendment, Tenant shall pay Landlord the sum of [***] (the "Restoration Payment") and in consideration of such amount, Tenant shall only be obligated to perform the items marked

 


 

 

"Tenant" on Exhibit C attached hereto ("Tenant's Obligations") and shall have no surrender/restoration obligations for the other items on Exhibit C.

 

(ii)
On August 31, 2035 (or such earlier date if the term ends sooner), Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to the Base Rent and Expense Rent for the six (6) month period following the Termination Date (September 1, 2035 - February 28, 2036) (the "Restoration Fee Payment") to compensate Landlord for the period of time necessary to perform the work on Exhibit C which are not Tenant's Obligations. The Base Rent monthly rate for such six (6) month period shall be the same as the Base Rent monthly rate as in effect immediately prior to the beginning of such six (6) month period.

 

(b)
Landlord shall use the Restoration Payment together with the Restoration Fee Payment to pay for Tenant's Obligations in lieu of Tenant performing certain of its surrender obligations under the Lease as set forth above.

 

(c)
The parties acknowledge that the restoration work listed on Exhibit C, the Restoration Payment and the Restoration Fee Payment only address alterations, additions and improvements made prior to the date hereof. Tenant shall remain obligated to remove all alterations, additions and/or improvements made after the date hereof and repair all damage resulting therefrom. In addition, Tenant shall remain obligated to otherwise surrender the Premises in the condition required under Paragraph 13 of the Lease, including but not limited to surrendering all systems in good, operable condition.

 

6.
Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants to the other party that it has not dealt with any brokers or agents in connection with the negotiation of this Amendment of Lease other than Charles Klatskin Co. and Cresa. Landlord and Tenant shall each indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party from any breach of this representation by the breaching party. Landlord shall pay Charles Klatskin Co. and Cresa pursuant to a separate agreement.

 

7.
This Fourth Amendment may be executed in counterparts, and all counterparts together shall be construed as one document. Portable document format (PDF) signatures transmitted by electronic mail shall be considered originals for purposes of this Fourth Amendment.
8.
Except as expressly modified herein, all of the provisions of the Lease shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect and Landlord and Tenant ratify and confirm the terms of the Lease.
