6.CONDITION OF SECOND EXPANSION PREMISES; SECOND EXPANSION IMPROVEMENTS.

6.1Construction Drawings; Permit. As soon as reasonably practicable following mutual execution and delivery of this Fifth Amendment, Tenant shall cause Tenant’s architect to prepare construction documents for the tenant improvements to the Second Expansion Premises (the “Second Expansion Improvements”), as generally shown on Exhibit A attached hereto. Tenant shall then forward the construction documents to Landlord for Landlord’s approval. The construction documents, as approved by Landlord and Tenant, shall be referred to herein as the “Approved Construction Documents”. Landlord’s approval of the Approved Construction Documents shall not be a representation or warranty of Landlord that such drawings are adequate for any use or comply with any Law, but shall merely be the consent of Landlord thereto. Tenant shall apply for a building permit for the Second Expansion Improvements using the Approved Construction Documents (the “Permit”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if Tenant has not obtained and delivered the Permit to Landlord by April 1, 2023, then the Second Expansion Commencement Date shall be adjusted by Landlord to be the date that the Second Expansion Commencement Date would have occurred had Tenant obtained and delivered the Permit to Landlord by April 1, 2023.

6.2Second Expansion Improvements. Landlord, at its sole expense, agrees to construct the Second Expansion Improvements in accordance with the Approved Construction Drawings and the Permit; provided, however, Tenant shall be responsible for all costs of the Second Expansion Improvements that exceed fifteen dollars and no cents ($15.00) per rentable square foot of the Second Expansion Premises (which amount is $45,075.00) (the “Second Expansion Improvement Allowance”). Landlord’s construction of the Second Expansion Improvements shall be under the same terms and conditions as set forth in Sections 2 through 6, inclusive, of Exhibit D (Work Letter) to the Original Lease. Tenant shall pay all costs that exceed the Second Expansion Improvement Allowance on demand as Additional Rent. Subject to Landlord’s receipt of the Permit, Landlord shall proceed with and complete the construction of the Second Expansion Improvements. After the Second Expansion Commencement Date, Tenant shall, upon demand, execute and deliver to Landlord a letter of acceptance of the Second Expansion Premises and satisfactory completion of the Second Expansion Improvements, in the form of Exhibit B attached to this Fifth Amendment. The failure of Tenant to take possession of the Second Expansion Premises shall not serve to relieve Tenant of its obligations arising on the Second Expansion Commencement Date or delay the payment of rent by Tenant. Delay by Landlord in delivering possession of the Second Expansion Premises or completing the Second Expansion Improvements shall not make Landlord liable for any damages arising therefrom.

6.3Tenant Change Orders. If Tenant shall desire any changes to the Second Expansion Improvements, Tenant shall so advise Landlord in writing and Landlord shall determine whether such changes can be made in a reasonable and feasible manner. Any and all costs of reviewing any requested changes, and any and all costs of making any changes to the Second Expansion Improvements that Tenant may request and that Landlord may agree to, shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and if Landlord requests, shall be paid to Landlord upon demand and before execution of the change order.

6.4Tenant’s Acknowledgement. Tenant acknowledges, represents and agrees to the following: (a) Tenant shall be responsible for making its own inspection and investigation of the Second Expansion Premises, (b) Tenant shall be responsible for investigating and establishing the suitability of the Second Expansion Premises for Tenant’s intended use thereof, and (c) except as set forth in this Fifth Amendment, Tenant is leasing the Second Expansion Premises “AS IS” based on its own inspection and investigation and not in reliance on any statement, representation, inducement or agreement of Landlord. By taking possession of the Second Expansion Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Second Expansion Premises as being in satisfactory condition and completed in accordance with any requirements of Landlord set forth herein.

6.5Additional Improvements. In addition, at Tenant’s option and at Tenant’s sole cost, Tenant may request that Landlord demolish the existing multi-tenant corridor and create a new exterior entrance for the Premises (the “Additional Improvements”). If applicable, Tenant shall include the Additional Improvements in the construction documents for the Second Expansion Improvements. The Additional Improvements shall be subject to: (a) approval by Landlord and the City of Phoenix, and (b) the terms and conditions for construction as the Second Expansion Improvements. Further, if the existing multi-tenant corridor is demolished in connection with the Additional Improvements, then upon expiration of the Lease, at Landlord’s option, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reconstruction of the multi-tenant corridor.

7.REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE.Tenant represents that it has not had dealings with any real estate broker, finder or other person with respect to this Fifth Amendment, other than Cushman & Wakefield, who represents Landlord (the “Broker”), and that Tenant is not represented by a real estate broker, finder or other person with respect to this Fifth Amendment. Landlord shall pay the Broker a commission with respect to this Fifth Amendment pursuant to a separate agreement. If any other person shall assert a claim to a finder’s fee, brokerage commission or other compensation on account of alleged employment as a finder or broker or for performance of services as a finder or broker in connection with this transaction, the party under whom the finder or broker is claiming shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other party for, from and against any and all obligations, debts, covenants, conditions, representations, costs, and liabilities and any and all demands, causes of action, and claims, of every type, kind, nature or character, direct or indirect, known or unknown, absolute or contingent, determined or speculative, at law, in equity or otherwise, including attorneys’ fees and litigation and court costs, in connection with such claim or any action or proceeding brought on such claim.

8.CONDITION OF EXISTING PREMISES. Except as set forth in this Fifth Amendment, Tenant is in possession of and has accepted the Existing Premises and Tenant acknowledges that all work to be performed by Landlord in the Existing Premises as required by the terms of the Lease has been satisfactorily completed.

9.EXISTING CLAIMS. Tenant represents and warrants that there are no existing claims or causes of action against Landlord arising out of the Lease, either currently or that would exist with the giving of notice or with the passage of time, nor are there any existing defenses that Tenant has against the enforcement of the Lease by Landlord.

10.MISCELLANEOUS. Except as set forth in this Fifth Amendment, the Lease shall continue in full force and effect. This Fifth Amendment supersedes and replaces all previous terms in the Lease that may conflict with the terms in this Fifth Amendment. Capitalized terms used in this Fifth Amendment without definition will have the meaning stated in the Lease. This Fifth Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original for all purposes, and all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. A signed copy of this Fifth Amendment delivered by DocuSign, facsimile or scanned .pdf and emailed signatures, or any combination thereof, shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Fifth Amendment. The warranties contained in this Fifth Amendment are made and given in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other warranties made in the Lease.
