Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

FSP Phoenix Tower Corp. (the “Registrant”) is a Delaware corporation formed to purchase, own, operate, improve and reposition a thirty-four story multi-tenant office building containing approximately 629,054 rentable square feet of space located on approximately 2.1 acres of land in Houston, Texas (the “Property”).  The Registrant operates in a manner intended to qualify as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes. The Registrant acquired the Property through a limited partnership, FSP Phoenix Tower Limited Partnership (the “Property Owner”), of which the Registrant is the sole limited partner and of which FSP Phoenix Tower LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Registrant, is the sole general partner. The sole business of the Property Owner is to own and operate the Property; the sole business of each of FSP Phoenix Tower LLC and the Registrant is to hold the equity interests of the Property Owner.

 

The Property Owner and Permian Mud Service, Inc. (“Permian Mud”) are parties to a Lease Agreement dated April 28, 2005, as amended by a First Amendment to Lease Agreement dated October 16, 2007 (as so amended, the “Original Lease Agreement”), whereby Permian Mud leases an aggregate of approximately 77,654 square feet of space on levels 25, 27 and 28 at the Property from the Property Owner. The expiration date for the space leased pursuant to the Original Lease Agreement is February 28, 2018.

 

On May 31, 2011, the Property Owner and Permian Mud entered into a Second Amendment to Lease Agreement (the “Second Amendment” and, together with the Original Lease Agreement, the “Lease Agreement”) that, among other items, (i) added approximately 7,396 square feet of space on level 31 at the Property and (ii) added approximately 9,748 square feet of space on level 29 at the Property. The commencement date for the additional premises on level 31 is expected to be on or about August 1, 2011 and the commencement date for the additional premises on level 29 is expected to be on or about October 1, 2011. The expiration date for the additional premises (both level 31 and level 29) is February 28, 2018. Accordingly, pursuant to the Lease Agreement, from and after the commencement date for the additional premises (both level 31 and level 29), Permian Mud will lease an aggregate of approximately 94,798 square feet of space at the Property, or approximately 15% of the Property’s rentable area, on levels 25, 27, 28, 29 and 31. The expiration date of the term of the Lease Agreement is February 28, 2018. Permian Mud also leases approximately 512 square feet of storage space at the Property pursuant to a separate storage agreement.

 

The Second Amendment is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing summary of the Second Amendment is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the Second Amendment filed herewith and the foregoing summary of the Original Lease Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the Original Lease Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.4 to the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2007.
