AMENDMENT NO. | TO THE LEASE BETWEEN THE TOWN OF WICKENBURG AND LENORE GRACE This Amendment is entered into by and between the Town of Wickenburg, Arizona, a municipal corporation (the “Landlord”), whose address for purposes of notice is 155 North Tegner Street, Suite A, Wickenburg, Arizona 85390 and Lenore Grace (the “Tenant”), whose address for purposes of notice 1s c/o J07.59 £ Sntt~A [Load UAchin ou a4 AZ £53990 (collectively, “the Parties”). MC ; RECITALS: A. Landlord and John Grace entered into a Lease on July 30, 2004, for a twenty (20) year term commencing January 19, 2004, with a commencement date retroactive to January 19, 2004, as provided therein. The Lease pertains to the lease of one (1) parcel of land located at the Wickenburg Municipal Airport for the construction and use of aircraft hangars (the “Premises”). The terms of the Lease are incorporated herein by reference. B. Following the death of John Grace, and without any extension or renewal of the Lease, his surviving spouse, Lenore Grace, has remained in possession of the Premises pursuant to the terms of the Lease. No written assignment, assumption, or probate transfer of the Lease occurred prior to this Amendment. C. Landlord is extending an option to renew the Lease for one additional twenty (20) year term, backdated to the expiration of the Lease. The renewal term shall expire on January 19, 2044, with no further option to renew. D. Paragraph 5.1 of the Lease provides that rent may be adjusted periodically to reflect changes in market conditions; however, no rent adjustment occurred during the initial twenty (20) year term of the Lease. E. In recognition of the significant passage of time and the need to align with current market rates, the Parties agree to adjust the rent for the renewal term to a fair market rental rate and establish clearer rent adjustment language. F. Additionally, Paragraph 6.5 of the lease is amended to reflect current standard revisionary language upon termination of the Lease. G. Finally, Section 11 - Assignment and Subletting of the Lease is amended to clarify the standards and process applicable to assignments and subleases, including the use of a standard form of assignment and the circumstances under which Landlord approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. H. Accordingly, Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Lease to extend the term of the Lease, establish the adjusted rental rate for the renewal period, and clarify the terms of assignment. AGREEMENT: NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the following mutual covenants and conditions, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged by the Parties, the Landlord and Tenant agree as follows: l, The Parties agree to replace Paragraph 3.2 of the Lease with a new Paragraph 3.2 to read as follows: 3.2. Tenant previously held an option under the Lease to renew for an additional twenty (20) year term. That option is hereby modified and deemed exercised by mutual agreement pursuant to this Amendment. The Lease term is therefore extended for one (1) twenty-year term and shall run from January 19, 2024 through January 19, 2044, unless sooner terminated as provided herein. Tenant shall have no further option to renew. a The Parties agree to replace Paragraph 5.1 of the Lease with a new Paragraph 5.1 to read as follows: 5.1. | The Tenant shall pay, without notice and free from all claims, the monthly rent in the amount of $200.00 for the ground that is leased from the Town of Wickenburg as described in Exhibit "A". This amount may be adjusted periodically but not more often than once every two years to reflect changes in the market. This monthly rental rate was derived by applying a per square foot rental fee of $.05 (five) cents/square foot/per month to the Tenant’s hangar size of 4,000 square feet. 3. The Parties agree to replace Paragraph 6.5 of the Lease with a new Paragraph 6.5 to read as follows: 6.5. | Allimprovements and modifications made by Tenant which become fixtures to the Premises, including hangars, shall become the property of Landlord, at no cost to Landlord, upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, free of any security, interest, or claims of any kind from or through Tenant, or in the alternative, Lessor may require Lessee to remove the hangars, at Lessee’s expense. If removal is required, Tenant shall thereafter supply Landlord with copies of any environmental tests or reports generated in connection with such removal together with the certification from a licensed engineer demonstrating that the Premises are free of contamination from any and all hazardous materials on the property or which may have escaped from equipment on the property. If at any time during the term of this Lease, Tenant or assignees voluntarily remove the hangar building, the Lease will automatically terminate. 4. The Parties agree to replace Paragraph 11 of the Lease with a new Paragraph | | to read as follows: 11. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Subject to Section 11.2 and to Tenant's right to sublease or sell, Tenant shall not assign or sublease any interest in this Lease, nor permit any other person to occupy the Premises, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Landlord’s review shall be limited to reasonable considerations relating to the proposed transferee’s financial capability and ability to comply with the Lease. Landlord may require the proposed transferee to submit information reasonably necessary for such review. Landlord shall approve a proposed assignment where the proposed transferee demonstrates the financial and operational capacity to perform Tenant's obligations under the Lease. Any assignment shall be documented on an assignment agreement in substantial conformance with Exhibit A, and upon Landlord’s receipt of a complete assignment package, Landlord shall process the request in a commercially reasonable timeframe. 5. Effect of Amendment. In all other respects, the Lease is affirmed and ratified and, except as expressly modified herein, all terms and conditions of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect. 6, Non-Default.
