THIS THIRD AMENDMENT TO LEASE AGREEMENT (the “Third Amendment”) is made as of the 11th day of October, 2011 (“Third Amendment Effective Date”), by and between HERMOSA, LP, a Texas limited partnership (“Landlord”), successor in interest to Miranda Partners, L.P. (“Prior Landlord”) and ZION OIL & GAS, INC. ( “Tenant”).
WHEREAS Prior Landlord and Tenant have heretofore entered into that certain Office Lease Agreement (the “Original Lease”), dated on or about June 20, 2003, as subsequently amended (collectively the “Lease”) covering the premises comprising Suite 300 (the “Original Premises”) in that certain building commonly known as the Centerpoint Tower, 6510 Abrams Road, Dallas, Texas, and more particularly described in the Lease (the “Building”). Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized and uncapitalized words and phrases will have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Lease.
WHEREAS, Landlord has acquired the Building from Prior Landlord and succeeded to all interest as landlord under the Lease.
WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the current term of this Lease (“Current Term”) expires on October 31, 2011 (the "Current Expiration Date"), and both Landlord and Tenant desire to modify and extend said Current Term; and
WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant desire to amend the Lease further by adding additional space to the Lease and in certain other respects under the terms and conditions set forth in this Third Amendment.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual benefit of the parties hereto, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to amend the Lease as follows:
1. Lease Term. The term of the Lease is hereby extended (the “Extended Term”) for forty-eight (48) months beginning November 1, 2011 (“Extended Term Commencement Date”) and ending October 31, 2015 (the “Extended Term Expiration Date”).
2. Expansion Premises. As of the Extended Term Commencement Date, the amount of leased space covered by the Lease shall be expanded to include an additional 1,351 rentable square feet of space located in Suite 302 and as more specifically shown on Exhibit A (“Suite 302”) and an additional 1,324 rentable square feet of space located in Suite 304 (“Suite 304”) and as more specifically shown on Exhibit A (collectively Suite 302 and Suite 304 being the “Expansion Premises”). As a result, the total leased space covered under the Lease will, as of the Extended Term Commencement Date, equal 6,458 rentable square feet (being 3,783 rentable square feet within the Original Premises, 1,351 rentable square feet in Suite 302, and 1,324 rentable square feet in Suite 304) and all such space shall be collectively known as the “Demised Premises” for all purposes under the Lease as of the Extended Term Commencement Date.
