Option to Renew, Condition of Premises/ ROFO
Section 3.01    Condition of Premises: Subject to Landlord's obligation to perform Landlord's Work, the Premises will be accepted by Tenant on the Possession Date in its “as is”, “where is” condition and configuration. By taking possession of the Premises, Tenant agrees that Landlord's Work is substantially
6


completed, subject only to Punch List Items (defined below), the Premises are in good order and satisfactory condition, and that other than Landlord's Work, there are no representations or warranties by Landlord regarding the condition of the Premises, the Building or any other part of Sullivan Center. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Landlord represents to Tenant that on the Possession Date, the Premises will be structurally sound and free of water leaks, and that the mechanical equipment serving the Premises will be in good working condition and repair. Landlord further covenants that Landlord's Work shall be constructed in accordance with all Laws and in a good and workmanlike manner using new materials of a quality that is at least equal to the Landlord's minimum standard for the Office Area.
For purposes of this Lease, “substantial completion” and/or “substantially completed” shall mean that Landlord's Work is completed to such an extent that Tenant can take possession of the Premises and either (i) utilize same for the use intended hereunder or (ii) begin performing Tenant's Work (so long as Tenant has an permit for Tenant's Work), as evidenced by a certificate of Landlord's architect.
Tenant and Landlord shall, within ten (10) days after Landlord advises Tenant that Landlord's Work is substantially completed, conduct a walk through inspection of the Premises to create a punch list of items that still need to be completed notwithstanding that Landlord's Work is otherwise substantially completed (which items are called “Punch List Items”). Once the parties have agreed upon the Punch List Items, Landlord shall have thirty (30) days thereafter to complete such items.
In the event of any dispute as to whether, or when, Landlord's Work has achieved substantial completion, the statement of Landlord's architect that Landlord's Work has achieved substantial completion shall be presumed correct. In the event Tenant does not accept (or disputes) the statement of Landlord's architect, then within ten (1 0) days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's notice that Landlord's Work is substantially completed, Tenant shall advise Landlord, in writing, in detail of those items of Landlord's Work that Tenant alleges are not substantially completed and the name of the architect it is appointing to review the dispute (provided that Tenant shall have the burden of proof to overcome the presumption that Landlord's architect's certification is correct). During the fifteen (15) days following Tenant's written notice to Landlord that Landlord's Work is not substantiality complete, Tenant and Landlord agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the dispute regarding whether, or when, Landlord's Work has achieved substantial completion. If, during said fifteen (15) days, the parties are unable to resolve the dispute, then both Tenant and Landlord shall mutually select a third party architect (the “Third Party Architect”) to determine whether, or when, Landlord's Work has achieved substantial completion. If the parties are unable to mutually agree on said Third Party Architect, then both Tenant and Landlord shall each select an architect and the two architects shall then select the Third Party Architect to make such determination. The Third Party Architect's determination of whether, or when, Landlord's Work has achieved substantial completion shall be conclusive and binding on both Tenant and Landlord hereunder. Each party shall pay the costs and expenses, if any, of their architect and the cost of the Third Party Architect shall be shared equally between Tenant and Landlord.

If the parties are unable to mutually agree on said Third Party Broker, then both Tenant and Landlord shall each select an Illinois real estate broker familiar with the First Option Market Rent Standard and the two brokers shall then select the Third Party Broker to make such determination.
The Third Broker's determination of the First Option Period Market Rent shall be conclusive and binding on both Tenant and Landlord hereunder. Each party shall pay the costs and expenses, if any, of their broker and the cost of the Third Broker shall be shared equally between Tenant and Landlord.
B.    Tenant, by written notice to Landlord given no later than twelve (12) months prior the last day of the First Option Period, time being of the essence, shall have the option to renew the Term of this Lease for an additional sixty (60) calendar month period beginning on first day of the One Hundred Eighty Seventh (187th) calendar month following the Commencement Date and ending on last day of the Two Hundred Forty Sixth (246th) calendar month following the Commencement Date (the “Second Option Period”) pursuant to all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease and at Second Option Period Market Rent set forth below, provided that at the time the notice hereinabove referred to is given and at the time the Second Option Period commences, Tenant is open and operating the Premises for the use set forth in the Lease and is not in default hereunder.
“Second Option Period Market Rent” shall be an amount equal to the annual market rental rate reflecting the net rental rate, real estate taxes and operating expenses, base rent escalations; tenant creditworthiness, tenant improvement allowances, brokerage commissions and all other market inducements then agreed to and accepted between unrelated third parties for comparable class office buildings in the central and east Loop submarkets as of the beginning of the Second Option Period (the “Second Option Market Rent Standard”). Landlord and Tenant agree to use good faith efforts to arrive at said Second Option Period Market Rent within thirty (30) days following the Tenant's exercise of its renewal option. If the parties are unable to mutually agree on the amount of said Second Option Period Market Rent within such thirty (30) day period, then both Tenant and Landlord shall mutually select a third party Illinois real estate broker (the “Third Party Broker”) familiar with the Second Option Market Rent Standard to determine Second Option Period Market Rent. If the parties are unable to mutually agree on said Third Party Broker, then both Tenant and Landlord shall each select an Illinois real estate broker familiar with the Second Option Market Rent Standard and the two brokers shall then select the Third Party Broker to make such determination.

Section 3.03    Right of First Offer: At any time during the Term hereof (the “First Offer Period”), Landlord agrees to offer Tenant, from time to time, all or any part of the seventh (7th) floor of the Building (the “First Offer Space”) which becomes “available for lease” (as hereinafter defined) during the First Offer Period, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
The First Offer Space shall be deemed to be “available for lease” at such time as Landlord is actively pursuing bona fide third party prospective tenants for the First Offer Space; provided that in all instances, the First Offer Space that is “available for lease” shall be subject to the rights of the existing tenants occupying the First Offer Space. Landlord shall not be deemed to have made the First Offer Space available for leasing by consulting with potential tenants or brokers in order to attempt to determine the prevailing market rate of the First Offer Space nor shall this Section 3.03 prohibit Landlord from entering into negotiations with prospective tenants for the First Offer Space so long as Landlord complies with the provisions of this Section 3.03 prior to executing a lease for the First Offer Space to a prospective third party tenant.
When the First Offer Space becomes available for lease, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of (y) the prevailing market rate (as defined below) and (z) if applicable, the prevailing market construction allowance (as defined below).
Within fifteen (15) days after Landlord's written notice, time being of the essence, Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord of whether or not Tenant desires to lease the First Offer Space. If less than the entire i 11 floor of the First Offer Space becomes available, Tenant will only have the right to lease that part of the First Offer Space that becomes available. If the entire 7th floor of the First Offer Space becomes available, Tenant may elect to lease either (a) all of the First Offer Space, or (b) only that part of the First Office Space shown as “Space A” on Exhibit G attached hereto, or (c) only that part of the First Office Space shown as “Space B” on Exhibit G attached hereto. If (i) Tenant elects not to exercise its right to lease the First Offer Space, or (ii) Tenant fails to give Landlord written notice of its exercise within said fifteen (15) day period, then Landlord may thereafter lease the First Offer Space to a third party at such rental and subject to such terms as it may choose, without further notice to Tenant and free of any right of Tenant.
If Tenant timely elects to exercise its right to lease all or the part of the First Offer Space identified in (a)-(c) above, but does not agree with Landlord's determination of the prevailing market rate and/or the prevailing market construction allowance, then Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate, in good faith, to mutually agree on the prevailing market rate and/or the prevailing market construction allowance. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to mutually agree on the prevailing market rate and/or the prevailing market construction allowance within ten (10) days of Landlord's receipt of Tenant's exercise its right to lease the First Offer Space, then both Tenant and Landlord shall mutually select a third party Illinois real estate leasing broker (the “Third Party Broker”) familiar with the Loop office market to determine said the prevailing market rate and/or the prevailing market construction allowance. If the parties are unable to mutually agree on said Third Party Broker, then both Tenant and Landlord shall each select an Illinois real estate leasing broker familiar with the Loop office market and the two brokers shall then select the Third Party Broker to make such determination. The Third Broker's determination of the prevailing market rate and/or the prevailing market construction allowance shall be conclusive and binding on both Tenant and Landlord hereunder. Each party shall pay the costs and expenses, if any, of their broker and the cost of the Third Broker shall be shared equally between Tenant and Landlord.
If Tenant timely elects to exercise its right to lease the First Offer Space (i) the lease (or Lease amendment) for such First Offer Space shall be executed by Tenant, (ii) the term of the lease for such First Offer Space shall commence on a date to be negotiated between Landlord and Tenant, (iii) the rental
9


for the First Offer Space shall be the prevailing market rate and/or the prevailing market construction allowance, as determined above, (iv) the term of First Offer Space shall be coterminous with the Term of this Lease, and (v) the provisions for tenant build-out work shall conform with this Section 3.03 below.
If, after good faith negotiations, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.03, Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree on lease (or Lease amendment) terms for the First Offer Space as set forth above (excluding the determination of the prevailing market rate and/or the prevailing market construction allowance which shall be finally determined pursuant to the fifth paragraph of this Section 3.03) within thirty (30) days of the elate Tenant exercises its right to lease the First Offer Space, then Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of such failure and if Tenant and Landlord cannot agree on the terms of a lease (or Lease amendment) within fifteen (15) days of Tenant's receipt of Landlord's notice, then Landlord may thereafter lease the First Offer Space to a third party at such rental and subject to such terms as it may choose, without notice to Tenant and free of any right of Tenant; provided that the rent payable by said third party is no less than ninety (90%) percent of the prevailing market rate. If the rent payable by said third party is less than ninety (90%) percent of the prevailing market rate, or should the Landlord fail to execute a lease for the First Offer Space within two hundred seventy (270) days after the initial notice, then before executing a lease for the First Offer Space with any third party, Landlord shall give Tenant another written notice that the First Offer Space is available for lease and Tenant shall, once again, have the rights set forth in this Section 3.03.
Landlord shall only be required to offer the First Offer Space to the Tenant if (i) this Lease is in full force and effect, (ii) Tenant is not in default under this Lease (after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, as provided herein) and (iii) one hundred percent (100%) of the Premises are occupied by Centro, Inc., or Centro, Inc.'s successor or assign pursuant to a Permitted Transfer (as defined in Section 12.05 below) inasmuch as the first offer rights hereunder are intended only for the benefit of Centro, Inc., or Centro, Inc.'s successor or assign pursuant to a Permitted Transfer.
If Tenant leases the First Offer Space under this Section 3.03, the Base Rent rate for the First Offer Space shall be the prevailing market rate. As used herein, the “prevailing market rate” shall be an annual market rental rate as determined in good faith by Landlord and shall reflect the net rental rate, real estate taxes and operating expenses, base rent escalations, number of options and length of option term, tenant creditworthiness, tenant improvement allowances, brokerage commissions and all other market inducements then agreed to and accepted between unrelated third parties for comparable class office buildings for leases in arms-length transactions being completed in the central and east Loop submarkets.
If Tenant elects to lease the First Offer Space, but, by written notice to Landlord given on or before the expiration of the forty-five ( 45) day period set forth above for execution of a written lease (or Lease amendment) for such First Offer Space, Tenant rejects Landlord's determination of the prevailing market rate and/or, if applicable, the prevailing market construction allowance (as determined below), then Landlord may thereafter lease the First Offer Space to a third party at such rental and subject to such terms as it may choose, without notice to Tenant and free of any right of Tenant, except as provided for above if the rent payable by said third party is less than ninety (90%) percent of the prevailing market rate.
In the event that Tenant elects to lease the First Offer Space, but (i) fails to execute a written lease (or Lease amendment) for such First Offer Space (provided that Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant, in a commercially reasonable manner, so that Tenant has a written lease, or Lease amendment, for such First Offer Space to execute) or (ii) gives Landlord written notice, on or before the expiration of the forty-five (45) day period set f01ih above, that it rejects Landlord's determination of prevailing market rate and/or, if applicable, the prevailing market construction allowance, then Tenant shall be automatically deemed to
10


have rejected the Landlord's determination of prevailing market rate and/or, if applicable, the prevailing market construction allowance and the Landlord shall be free to thereafter lease the First Offer Space to a third party at such rental and subject to such terms as it may choose, without notice to Tenant and free of any right of Tenant except as provided above if the rent payable by said third party is less than ninety (90%) percent of the prevailing market rate.
If Tenant elects to lease the First Offer Space, the lease for the First Offer Space shall contain the following provisions for tenant build-out work: Landlord shall provide Tenant with a construction allowance equal in value to the prevailing market construction allowance. As used herein, the “prevailing market construction allowance” shall be either (i) a construction allowance (in cash) generally available to tenants for space similar to the First Offer Space, as determined in good faith by Landlord and then agreed to and accepted between unrelated third parties for comparable class office buildings for leases in arms-length transactions being completed in the central and east Loop submarkets, or (ii) the Landlord's obligation to construct the First Offer Space to a base building standard that is available to tenants for space similar to the First Offer Space, as determined in good faith by Landlord and then agreed to and accepted between unrelated third parties for comparable class office buildings for leases in arms-length transactions being completed in the central and east Loop submarkets, or (iii) a combination of (i) or (ii) above.
Section 3.04    Tenant Right to Terminate:
A.    In the event, subject to Force Majeure, that Landlord is unable to substantially complete Landlord's Work by November 30, 2015, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice given to Landlord at any time thereafter.
B.    So long as (i) this Lease is in full force and effect, (ii) one hundred percent (100%) of the Premises are occupied by Centro, Inc., or Centro, Inc.'s successor or assign pursuant to a Permitted Transfer (inasmuch as the termination right hereunder is intended only for the benefit of Centro, Inc., or Centro, Inc.'s successor or assign pursuant to a Permitted Transfer), and (iii) Tenant is not in default under this Lease (after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, as provided herein), Tenant shall have the right, upon written notice to Landlord (the “Termination Notice”), to terminate this Lease as to all of the Premises by written notice to Landlord given no sooner than fifteen (15) calendar months prior the Early Termination Date and no later than twelve (12) calendar months prior the Early Termination Date (defined hereinafter) in which event this Lease shall terminate on the Early Termination Date.

If Tenant fails to timely exercise its right to terminate this Lease under this Section 3.04, or if this Lease is not in full force and effect, or if Tenant is in default under this Lease (after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, as provided herein) or if Tenant fails to timely pay Landlord the Termination Fee or if less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Premises are occupied by Centro, Inc., or Centro, Inc.'s successor or assign pursuant to a Permitted Transfer inasmuch as the termination right hereunder is intended only for the benefit of Centro, Inc., or Centro, Inc.'s successor or assign pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, then Tenant's right to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall be null and void and any attempted or purported exercise by Tenant of its right to terminate under this Section 3.04 shall be voidable, at Landlord's option, by written notice to Tenant.
Section 3.05    Tenant Right to Contract Premises: During that part of the Term of this Lease that occurs after seventh (i11 ) anniversary of the Commencement Date, Landlord agrees that Centro, Inc., or Centro, Inc.'s successor or assign pursuant to a Permitted Transfer (inasmuch as the right to contract the Premises hereunder is intended only for the benefit of Centro, Inc., or Centro, Inc.'s successor or assign pursuant to a Permitted Transfer) shall have the right to surrender back to Landlord twenty (20%) percent of the Premises shown as the “Contraction Space” on the lease plan attached hereto as Exhibit B.
Tenant shall exercise its right under this Section 3.05 by written notice to Landlord (the “Contraction Notice”) given no later than twelve (12) calendar months prior the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Commencement Date. If Tenant exercises its right under this Section 3.05, the “Contraction Date” shall be the day after the twelfth (12th) calendar month following Landlord's receipt of the Contraction Notice and Tenant shall surrender the Contraction Space to Landlord no later than the Contraction Date. Tenant covenants and agrees to either (i) reimburse Landlord, on demand, for Landlord's cost to demise the Contraction Space separate from the balance of the Premises retained by Tenant or (ii) demise, at its sole cost and expense, the Contraction Space separate from the balance of the Premises retained by Tenant. From and after the Contraction Date, and so long as Tenant has vacated same, Base Rent and Tenant's Proportionate Share shall be adjusted to reflect the rentable square feet that Tenant continues to occupy.
In the event that Tenant elects to contract the Premises as provided under this Section 3.05, Tenant shall pay Landlord a Contraction Fee (defined hereinafter) at the same time the Contraction Notice is given to Landlord.
The “Contraction Fee” is an amount equal to twenty (20%) percent of the sum of (A) (i) the unamortized portion of the Construction Allowance, (ii) the unamortized portion of the Rent Abatement Amount, and (iii) the unamortized portion of the commission paid to the Broker listed in Section 1.22, and (B) an amount equal to the Base Rent, Expenses and Taxes payable under this Lease for the three (3) calendar months that occur immediately prior to the Early Termination Date.

Upon Tenant's request, in writing, Landlord shall provide Tenant with the amount of commission paid to the Broker listed in Section 1.22 no later than thirty (30) days after Tenant's written request.
In the event Tenant elects to contract the Premises as provided under this Section 3.05, if the portion of the Premises it retains contains all of the bathrooms on the floor in which the Premises are located, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord shall retain the right to allow (and Tenant shall permit) other tenants occupying the floor on which the Premises are located to use the bathrooms located in the contracted Premises.
Section 3.06    Outdoor Space: So long as Tenant strictly complies with the provisions of this Section 3.06 and the City of Chicago (“City”) approves same, Tenant shall have the right to use that part of the
12


roof of the Building that is accessible through the Premises (the “Roof Space”) as an outdoor terrace. In the event Tenant desires to use the Roof Space as an outdoor terrace, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall perform any and all work necessary for said use (the “Roof Work”); provided that before beginning any work on the Roof Space, Tenant shall have plans and specifications of the Roof Work (the “Roof Plans”) prepared by an Illinois licensed architect and submit same to the Landlord for its review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Landlord believes it is necessary for a structural engineer to review the Roof Plans, Landlord shall have the right to do so, at Tenant's cost.
Upon Landlord's approval of the Roof Plans, Tenant shall have the right to perform the Roof Worksubject to the following: (i) Tenant shall obtain a building permit for the Roof Work from the City, (ii) the Roof Work shall be performed in a good and workman like manner and in accordance with all applicable laws, including the Americans with Disabilities Act, (iii) during the performance of the Roof Work, Tenant shall access the Roof Space from the Premises and shall conduct all staging in the Premises, (iv) Tenant shall not erect any improvements on the Roof Space that are inconsistent with its use as an outdoor terrace, and (v) the performance of the Roof Work shall not interfere with the business of any other tenant in the Building.

Tenant's right to use the Roof Space is not transferable or assignable and the Roof Space may be used only so long as one hundred percent (100%) of the Premises are occupied by Centro, Inc., or Centro, Inc. 's successor or assign pursuant to a Permitted Transfer inasmuch as the right to use the Roof Space is intended only for the benefit of Centro, Inc., or Centro, Inc.’s successor or assigned pursuant to a Permitted Transfer.

Article IV.
Rent
Section 4.01    Payments: As consideration for this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord, without any setoff or deduction, the total amount of Base Rent and Additional Rent due for the Term. “Additional Rent” means all sums (exclusive of Base Rent) that Tenant is required to pay Landlord. Additional Rent
13


and Base Rent are sometimes collectively referred to as “Rent.” Tenant shall pay and be liable for all rental, sales and use taxes (but excluding income taxes), if any, imposed upon or measured by Rent under applicable Law. Base Rent and recurring monthly charges of Additional Rent shall be due and payable in advance on the first day of each calendar month during the Term without notice or demand, provided that the installment of Base Rent for the first calendar month of the Term shall be payable upon the execution of this Lease by Tenant. All other items of Rent shall be due and payable by Tenant on or before 30 days after billing by Landlord. All payments of Rent shall be in United States Dollars by good and sufficient check or by other means (such as automatic debit or electronic transfer) acceptable to Landlord. If Tenant fails to pay any item or installment of Rent when due, Tenant shall pay Landlord an administration fee equal to 5% of the past due Rent, provided that Tenant shall be entitled to a grace period of 5 days for not more than 2 late payments of Rent in a given calendar year. If the Term commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month or terminates on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, the monthly Base Rent and Tenant's Expense Adjustment (defined in Section 4.03.) and Tenant's Tax Adjustment (defined in Section 4.04.) for the month shall be prorated based on the number of days in such calendar month. Landlord's acceptance of less than the correct amount of Rent shall be considered a payment on account of the earliest Rent due. No endorsement or statement on a check or letter accompanying a check or payment shall be considered an accord and satisfaction, and either party may accept the check or payment without prejudice to that party's right to recover the balance or pursue other available remedies. Tenant's covenant to pay Rent is independent of every other covenant in this Lease.
Section 4.02    Payment of Tenant's Expense Adjustment and Tax Adjustment: Tenant shall pay an amount (the “Expense Adjustment”) which shall be Tenant's Proportionate Share for Expenses of the excess, if any, of Expenses for each calendar year during the Term over the Base Year Expenses. Tenant shall pay an amount (the “Tax Adjustment”) which shall be Tenant's Proportionate Share for Taxes of the excess, if any, of Taxes imposed or incurred for each calendar year during the Term over the Base Year Taxes. Any partial calendar year during the term shall be treated on a fractional basis, based upon the number of months and the number of days of any partial month. Landlord shall provide Tenant with a reasonable, good faith estimate of the total amount of Expenses and Taxes for each calendar year during the Term. On or before the first day of each month, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a monthly installment equal to one-twelfth of Tenant's Proportionate Share of Landlord's estimate of the total amount of Expenses and Taxes. If Landlord determines that its estimate was incorrect by a material amount, Landlord may provide Tenant with a revised estimate. After its receipt of the revised estimate, Tenant's monthly payments shall be based upon the revised estimate. If Landlord does not provide Tenant with an estimate of the total amount of Expenses and Taxes by January 1 of a calendar year, Tenant shall continue to pay monthly installments based on the previous year's estimate until Landlord provides Tenant with the new estimate. Upon delivery of the new estimate, an adjustment shall be made for any month for which Tenant paid monthly installments based on the previous year's estimate. Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of any underpayment within 30 days after receipt of the new estimate. Any overpayment shall be credited against the next due future installment(s) of Additional Rent.
Following the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall furnish Tenant with statement(s) of the actual amount of Expenses or Taxes, as the case may be, for the calendar year in question and the actual amount of the Expense Adjustment or Tax Adjustment, as the case may be, for such calendar year (each such statement, a “Reconciliation Statement”). If the estimated amount of Expense Adjustment or Tax Adjustment Tenant has actually paid for a calendar year is more than the actual amount of the respective Expense Adjustment or Tax Adjustment, as the case may be, as finally determined for such calendar year, Landlord shall apply any overpayment by Tenant against Additional Rent due or next installment becoming due, provided if the Term expires before the determination of the overpayment, Landlord shall refund any overpayment to Tenant after first deducting the amount of Rent due. If the estimated amount
14


of Expense Adjustment or Tax Adjustment Tenant has actually paid for such calendar year is less than the actual amount of the respective Expense Adjustment or Tax Adjustment, as the case may be, for such year, Tenant shall pay Landlord, within 30 days after its receipt of the relevant Reconciliation Statement of Expenses or Taxes, as the case may be, of any underpayment for the calendar year in question.
Section 4.03    Expenses Defined: “Expenses” means all costs and expenses incurred in each calendar year in connection with operating, maintaining, repairing, and managing the Office Area, including lobbies and elevators and that part of the Office Area Common Area used in common by tenants in the Office Area, including, but not limited to:
a.    Labor costs, including, wages, salaries, social security and employment taxes, medical and other types of insurance, uniforms, training, and retirement and pension plans.
b.    Management fee at three percent of gross rents of the Office Area (the “Management Fee”), the cost of equipping and maintaining a management office, accounting and bookkeeping services, legal fees not attributable to leasing or collection activity, and other administrative costs. Landlord, by itself or through an affiliate, shall have the right to directly perform or provide any services under this Lease (including management services). Except for the Management Fee, the cost of additional services provided by Landlord, shall not exceed the cost for such services that would have been incurred had Landlord entered into an arms-length contract for such services with an unaffiliated entity of comparable skill and experience.
c.    The cost of services, including amounts paid to service providers and the rental and purchase cost of parts, supplies, tools, equipment and other materials.
d.    Premiums and deductibles paid by Landlord for insurance, including workers compensation, special form causes of loss property insurance, earthquake, general liability, rental loss, elevator, boiler and machinery and other insurance customarily carried from time to time by owners of comparable buildings.
e.    Electrical Costs (defined below) and charges for water, gas, coal, steam and sewer, but excluding those charges for which Landlord is directly reimbursed by tenants pursuant to Sections 10.01 and 1 0.02. “Electrical Costs” means: (i) charges paid by Landlord for electricity, whether to a utility company or other provider; (ii) costs incurred in connection with an energy management program, whether to a utility company or other provider; and (iii) if and to the extent permitted by Law, a fee for the services provided by Landlord in connection with the selection of utility companies and the negotiation and administration of contracts for electricity. Electrical Costs shall be adjusted as follows: (x) amounts received by Landlord as reimbursement for above standard electrical consumption shall be deducted from Electrical Costs; and (y) Landlord's cost of electricity to individual tenant spaces in the Office Area (whether separately metered or reasonably estimated), shall be deducted from Electrical Costs.
f.    The cost of maintenance, repair and replacements of existing improvements and equipment pursuant to Section 9.02.
g.    The amortized cost of capital improvements (as distinguished from replacement parts or components installed in the ordinary course of business) made to the Sullivan Center which are: (i) performed primarily to reduce operating expense costs or otherwise improve the operating efficiency of the Sullivan Center; or (ii) required to comply with any Laws that are enacted, or first interpreted to apply to the Sullivan Center, after the Effective Date of this Lease. The cost of capital improvements shall be amortized by Landlord over the Payback Period (defined below). “Payback Period” means the
15


reasonably estimated period of time that it takes for the cost savings resulting from a capital improvement to equal the total cost of the capital improvement.
If Landlord incurs costs for the Sullivan Center, whether pursuant to a reciprocal easement agreement, common areas agreement, lease with a non-Office Area tenant or otherwise, a portion of such shared costs and expenses allocated to the Office Area, as reasonably determined by Landlord, shall be considered Expenses. Expenses shall not include: the cost of capital improvements (except as set forth in (g) of this Section 4.03); depreciation; interest; principal payments of mortgage and other non-operating debts of Landlord; the cost of repairs or other work to the extent Landlord is reimbursed by insurance or condemnation proceeds; costs in connection with leasing space in the Office Area, including brokerage commissions; lease concessions, including rental abatements and construction allowances, granted to specific tenants; costs incurred in connection with the sale, financing or refinancing of the Office Area; fines, interest and penalties incurred due to the late payment of Taxes (defined in Section 4.04) or Expenses; organizational expenses associated with the creation and operation of the entity which constitutes Landlord; or any penalties or damages that Landlord pays to Tenant under this Lease or to other tenants in the Office Area under their respective leases.
If the Office Area is not fully occupied during any calendar year or if Landlord is not supplying services to the total rentable square footage of the office space of the Office Area at any time during a calendar year, Expenses shall, at Landlord's option, be determined as if the office space of the Office Area had been fully occupied and Landlord had been supplying services to the total rentable square footage of the office space of the Office Area during that calendar year. The extrapolation of Expenses under this Section shall be performed by appropriately adjusting the cost of those components of Expenses that are impacted by changes in the occupancy of the Office Area.
Section 4.04    Taxes Defined: “Taxes” shall mean:
a.    all real estate taxes and other assessments on the Sullivan Center, including, but not limited to, assessments for special improvement districts and building improvement districts, taxes and assessments levied in substitution or supplementation in whole or in part of any such taxes and assessments and the Sullivan Center's share of any real estate taxes and assessments under any reciprocal easement agreement, common area agreement or similar agreement;
b.    all personal property or similar taxes for property that is used by Landlord in connection with the operation, maintenance and repair of the Sullivan Center; and
c.    all costs and fees incurred in connection with monitoring, controlling or seeking reductions in any tax liabilities described in (a) and (b) immediately above, including, without limitation, any costs incurred by Landlord for compliance, review and appeal of tax liabilities.
Without limitation, Taxes shall not include any income, capital levy, franchise, capital stock, gift, estate or inheritance tax. If at any time the method of taxation then prevailing shall be altered so that any new or additional tax, assessment, levy, imposition or charge or any part thereof shall be imposed upon Landlord in place or partly in place of Taxes or a contemplated increase in Taxes, or in addition to Taxes, and shall be measured by or be based in whole or in part upon the Building or any part of the Building or the rents or other income from the Building, then all such new taxes, assessments, levies, impositions or charges or part thereof, to the extent that they are so measured or based, shall be included in Taxes to the extent that such items would be payable if the Building were the only property of Landlord subject thereto and the income received by Landlord from the Building were the only income of Landlord. If a special assessment is payable in installments, Taxes for the year shall include only the amount of the installment and any interest due and payable during that year. For all other real estate taxes, Taxes for that year shall,
16


at Landlord's election, include either the amount accrued, assessed or otherwise imposed for the year or the amount due and payable for that year, provided that Landlord's election shall be applied consistently throughout the Term. If a reduction in Taxes is obtained for any year of the Term, then Taxes for that year will be retroactively adjusted and Landlord shall provide Tenant with a credit, if any, based on the adjustment.
Section 4.05    Examination Rights: Tenant may, within ninety (90) days after receiving Landlord's statement of Expenses, give Landlord written notice (“Review Notice”) that Tenant intends to review Landlord's records of the Expenses for the year in question. Within a reasonable time after receipt of the Review Notice, Landlord shall make available for inspection during normal business hours all pertinent records that are reasonably necessary for Tenant to conduct its review. If any records are maintained at a location other than the office of the Sullivan Center, Tenant may either inspect the records at such other location or pay for the reasonable cost of copying and shipping the records to the office of the Sullivan Center. Tenant must utilize either its own full-time, salaried employees or an independent certified public accountant (“CPA”) experienced in examining Expense records of mixed use buildings, which CPA shall be subject to Landlord's reasonable prior approval. If Tenant retains a CPA to review Landlord's records, the CPA shall not be compensated on a contingent fee basis. Upon receipt of the examination report, Tenant will deliver to Landlord a copy thereof and all accompanying data. Tenant shall be solely responsible for all costs, expenses and fees incurred for the examination. Within sixty (60) days after all of the records are made available to Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to give Landlord written notice (an “Objection Notice”) stating in reasonable detail any objection to Landlord's statement of Expenses for that year. If Tenant fails to give Landlord an Objection Notice within the sixty (60) day period or fails to provide Landlord with a Review Notice within the ninety (90) day period described above, Tenant shall be deemed to have irrevocably approved Landlord's statement of Expenses and shall be barred from raising any claims regarding the Expenses for that year. If Tenant provides Landlord with a timely Objection Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith to resolve any issues raised in Tenant's Objection Notice. If Landlord and Tenant determine that Expenses for the year in questions are less than reported, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a credit against the next installment of Rent in the amount of the overpayment by Tenant. Likewise, if Landlord and Tenant determine that Expenses for the year· in question are greater than reported, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of any underpayment within 30 days. No examination shall cover a period of time in excess of the one calendar year immediately preceding the examination. The records reviewed by Tenant and results of the examination shall be treated as confidential by Tenant. Tenant will keep confidential all agreements involving the right to examine in this Section, any information gained in the examination and the results of any examination conducted hereunder, and shall cause the employees or CPA conducting said examination to keep such information confidential. Landlord may require Tenant and Tenant's agent to execute a so called “Confidentiality Letter”. In no event shall Tenant be permitted to examine Landlord's records or to dispute any statement of Expenses unless Tenant has paid and continues to pay all Rent when due and otherwise perform its obligations under this Lease.
Section 4.06    HVAC Charges: In addition to the electrical charges set forth in sections 10.01 and 10.02, Tenant shall pay charges for HV AC services for the premises as set forth in Exhibit F attached.
Section 4.07    Cap on Expenses: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant's obligation to pay Expenses (excluding costs for snow removal, insurance, utilities and other noncontrollable costs) shall:
(i) for the first calendar year following the Base Year, not exceed an amount equal to (a) one hundred five percent (105%) of the Expenses (excluding costs for snow removal, insurance,
17


utilities and other non-controllable costs) in the Base Year, minus (b) Expenses (excluding costs for snow removal, insurance, utilities and other non-controllable costs) in the Base Year; and
(ii) for the second calendar year following the Base Year, not exceed an amount equal to (a) one hundred five percent (105%) of one hundred five percent (105%) of the Expenses (excluding costs for snow removal, insurance, utilities and other non-controllable costs) in the Base Year, minus (b) Expenses (excluding costs for snow removal, insurance, utilities and other non-controllable costs) in the Base Year; and
(iii) for the third calendar year following the Base Year, not exceed an amount equal to (a) one hundred five percent (105%) of one hundred five percent (105%) of one hundred five percent (105%) of the Expenses (excluding costs for snow removal, insurance, utilities and other non-controllable costs) in the Base Year, minus (b) Expenses (excluding costs for snow removal, insurance, utilities and other non-controllable costs) in the Base Year; and
for each calendar year thereafter, Tenant's obligation to pay Expenses (excluding costs for snow removal, insurance, utilities and other non- controllable costs) shall be capped in the same manner as provided above.
For example, and assuming the following: actual Expenses (excluding snow removal, insurance, utilities, and other non-controllable costs) for the Base Year are $2.00 psf, and for the next three calendar years are: $2.08 psf; $2.16 psf; and $2.45 psf; then Tenant's Expenses obligation, and the corresponding caps for each calendar year would be as follows: (i) Base Year - $0.00 in Expenses and no cap; (ii) first calendar year following Base Year - $.08 psf/annum in Expenses and a cap of $.10 psf/annum (i.e. 105% of $2.00 psf = $2.10 psf minus $2.00 psf); (iii) second calendar year following Base Year - $.16 psf in Expenses and a cap of $.21 psf/annum (i.e. 105% of 105% of $2.00 psf = $2.21 psf minus $2.00 psf) ; and (iv) third calendar year following Base Year- $.32 psf in Expenses and a cap of $.32 psf/annum (i.e. 105% of 105% of 105% of $2.00 psf = $2.32 psf minus $2.00 psf).
In the event there is a conflict between the above language and the example or, an ambiguity in the above language, then the example shall control.
Article V.
Compliance with Laws; Use
The Premises shall be used only for the Permitted Use and for no other use whatsoever. Tenant shall not use or permit the use of the Premises for any purpose or in any manner which is illegal, dangerous to persons or property or which, in Landlord's reasonable opinion, disturbs any other tenants of the Sullivan Center or interferes with the operation of the Sullivan Center.

Landlord shall not discriminate against Tenant in Landlord's enforcement of the rules and regulations.
Tenant shall have the right to access the Building on a 24/7/365 basis.

The Letter of Credit is not an advance payment of Rent or a measure of Tenant's liability for damages. Landlord may, from time to time, without prejudice to any other remedy, apply all or a portion of the Letter of Credit to satisfy past due Rent or to cure any uncured default by Tenant. If Landlord so applies the Letter of Credit, Tenant shall on demand restore the Letter of Credit to its original amount. Landlord shall return the Letter of Credit to Tenant within 45 days after the determination of Tenant's Expense Adjustment and Tax Adjustment for the calendar year of the Term in which 841 h month of the Term occurs.

However, if the Premises, or a material portion of the Premises, is rendered untenantable for a period in excess of five (5) consecutive Business Days as a result of a Service Failure caused by Landlord, then Tenant, as its sole remedy, shall be entitled to receive an abatement of Rent payable hereunder during the period beginning on the sixth (6th) consecutive Business Day of the Service Failure and ending on the day the service has been restored.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant, at the time it requests approval for a proposed Alteration (defined in Section 9.03), may request in writing that Landlord advise Tenant whether the Alteration or any portion of the Alteration will be designated as a Required Removable. Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of Tenant's request, Landlord shall advise Tenant in writing as to which portions of the Alteration, if any, will constitute Required Removables.

If applicable environmental Law requires that said ACM be removed as a result of Tenant's
20


Work, or if Tenant's Work disturbs any ACM in the Center and as a result, the ACM must be removed pursuant to applicable Laws, Tenant shall remove same as part of Tenant's Work and in conformance with applicable environmental Law. In the event that any other tenant in the Center performs work to its space that disturbs ACM within the Premises, Landlord will cause said tenant to comply with applicable laws with regard to the removal of said ACM within the Premises.
Section 8.02    Tenant's Work Plans. Prior to starting an Tenant's Work, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with plans and specifications reasonably acceptable to Landlord; names of contractors reasonably acceptable to Landlord (provided that Landlord may designate specific contractors with respect to Sullivan Center systems); copies of contracts; necessary permits and approvals; evidence of contractor's and subcontractor's insurance in amounts reasonably required by Landlord; and any security for performance that is reasonably required by Landlord. Tenant covenants and agrees to competitively bid the general contractor who will perform Tenant's Work. Tenant shall have the right to use the Building's freight elevators for hoisting of Tenant's Work materials on a 24/7/365 basis so long as Tenant first schedules its use of same with Landlord.

Changes to the plans and specifications must also be submitted to Landlord for its approval. Tenant's Work shall be constructed in accordance with all Laws and in a good and workmanlike manner using new materials of a quality that is at least equal to the quality designated by Landlord as the minimum standard for the Office Area. Landlord may designate reasonable rules, regulations and procedures for the performance of work in the Office Area and, to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid disruption to the occupants of the Office Area, shall have the right to designate the time when Tenant's Work may be performed. If Landlord believes it is necessary for a structural engineer to review Tenant's plans, Landlord shall have the right to do so, at Tenant's cost. Tenant shall assure that the Tenant's Work comply with all insurance requirements and Laws. Landlord's approval of Tenant's Work shall not be a representation or warranty by Landlord that Tenant's Work complies with applicable Laws or will be adequate for Tenant's use.
Section 8.03    Allowance. So long as Tenant is not in default of this Lease, and subject to the limitations described in the next following paragraph, Landlord shall pay to Tenant's contractors and materialmen, as a “Construction Allowance” an amount up to $5,258,025.00 ($75.00 psf) to be used for planning, architectural/engineering fees, demolition, Tenant's Work construction costs, and construction management/oversight fees, furniture, fixtures and equipment expenses and moving expenses (collectively, the “Actual Construction Costs”), which said amount shall be paid directly to Tenant's contractors and materialmen within thirty (30) days of the last to occur of all of the following: (a) all Tenant's Work performed by Tenant in the Premises shall have been substantially completed in accordance with the provisions of the Exhibits of this Lease and Tenant's plans and specifications; (b) Tenant shall have furnished Landlord a standard sworn “owners” statement /affidavit for Tenant's Work, (c)Tenant shall• have furnished Landlord a stai1dard sworn “general contractor's” statement /affidavit for Tenant's Work; (d) Tenant shall have furnished to Landlord final lien waivers from all general contractors, subcontractors and materialmen who supplied services or material as part of Tenant's Work; (e) Tenant shall have provided Landlord with a copy of the certificate of occupancy (or its equivalent) for the Premises issued by the appropriate governmental entity; and (f) Tenant shall have provided Landlord with “as-built” plans of Tenant's Work on a CD in Autocad format.
Tenant shall have the right to request that Landlord pay Tenant's contractors and materialmen a portion of the Construction Allowance monthly provided that Tenant complies with the provisions of subsections (b), (c) and (d) above (provided that to satisfy this subsection [d], Tenant shall furnish Landlord partial lien waivers from all general contractors, subcontractors and materialmen who supplied services or material as part of Tenant's Work) and the amount Tenant's Work actually completed and
21


installed in the Premises, for which payment is requested, is more than the amount of the Construction Allowance requested; and provided further that Tenant complies with subsections (a) through (f) above with regard to the final portion of the Construction Allowance.
Tenant and Landlord shall establish a standard construction escrow at the office of the Landlord's title insurance company (the “Construction Escrow”) for the purpose of Landlord funding the Construction Allowance and Tenant paying the cost of Tenant's Work. Landlord and Tenant shall comply with the provisions of the Construction Escrow, and Tenant shall pay 100% of the cost of same. All payments for Tenant's Work shall be funded through the Construction Escrow. Unless required by Landlord's lenders or equity partners, the Construction Escrow will not require (i) that the title company issue date down mechanic lien endorsements every time part of the Construction Allowance is funded or (ii) that there be an inspecting architect who approves every draw; provided that if (i) and/or (ii) aforesaid is required, same shall be at Tenant's cost.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Tenant shall use no more than the following amounts of the Construction Allowance toward the following Actual Construction Costs: (i) $788,703 for construction management/oversight fees; and (ii) $1,402,140 for furniture, fixtures and equipment expenses and moving expenses.
Prior to beginning construction of Tenant's Work, Tenant shall provide Landlord with a budget showing the anticipated cost of Tenant's Work. If the budget for Tenant's Work indicates that the cost of Tenant's Work exceeds the amount of the Construction Allowance, before Landlord is obligated to fund any part of the Construction Allowance, Tenant shall, using its own funds, pay for the cost of that part of Tenant's Work that is in excess of the Construction Allowance and Tenant's payment of same, through the Construction Escrow, shall be a condition to Landlord's obligation to pay the Construction Allowance.

Article XII.
Assignment and Subletting
Section 12.01    Consent Required: Except with respect to a Permitted Transfer (defined in Section 12.05. below), Tenant shall not assign, sublease, transfer or encumber any interest in this Lease or allow any third party to use any portion of the Premises (collectively or individually, a “Transfer”) without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed, or withheld if Landlord does not elect to exercise its termination rights under Section 12.02 following. Without limitation, it is agreed that Landlord's consent shall not be considered unreasonably withheld if:
a.    the proposed transferee's financial condition does not meet the criteria Landlord uses to select Office Area tenants having similar leasehold obligations or in Landlord's reasonable opinion is not of good reputation;
b.    the proposed transferee's business is not suitable for the Sullivan Center considering the business of the other tenants and the Sullivan Center's prestige, or would result in a violation of another tenant's rights;
c.    the proposed transferee is a governmental agency;
d.    Tenant is not in full compliance with any of the terms in this Lease; or
e.    any portion of the Sullivan Center or Premises would likely become subject to additional or different Laws as a consequence of the proposed Transfer.

Any attempted Transfer in violation of this Article shall, at Landlord's option, be void. Consel1t by Landlord to one or more Transfer(s) shall not operate as a waiver of Landlord's rights to approve any subsequent Transfers. In no event shall any Transfer or Permitted Transfer release or relieve Tenant from any obligation under this Lease.
Section 12.02    Request for Consent: As part of its request for Landlord's consent to a Transfer, Tenant shall provide Landlord with financial statements (in form, substance and certified to be accurate as may be reasonably required by Landlord) for the proposed transferee, a complete copy of the proposed assignment, sublease and other contractual documents and such other information including credit and reputation references as Landlord may reasonably request. Landlord shall, by written notice to Tenant within 30 days of its receipt of the required information and documentation, either:
a.    consent to the Transfer by the execution of consent agreement in a form reasonably designated by Landlord; or

Notwithstanding Landlord's failure to consent to a transfer, Tenant shall pay Landlord concurrently with tenant's request for consent, a non-refundable review fee of $750.00 for Landlord's review of any Permitted Transfer or requested Transfer, provided if Landlord's actual reasonable costs and expenses
25


(including reasonable attorney's fees) exceed $750.00, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for its actual reasonable costs and expenses in lieu of a fixed review fee.

Tenant may deduct from the excess all reasonable and customary expenses directly incurred by Tenant attributable to the Transfer (other than Landlord's review fee), including brokerage fees, legal fees and construction costs. If Tenant is in Monetary Default (defined in Section 14.01 below), Landlord may require that all sublease payments be made directly to Landlord, in which case Tenant shall receive a credit against Rent in the amount of any payments received (less Landlord's share of any excess).
Section 12.04    Other Transfers: Except as provided below with respect to a Permitted Transfer, if Tenant is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or similar entity, and if the entity which owns or controls a majority of the voting shares/rights at any time changes for any reason (including but not limited to a merger, consolidation or reorganization), such change of ownership or control shall constitute a Transfer. The foregoing shall not apply if Tenant or Tenant's guarantor, if any, is an entity whose outstanding stock is listed on a recognized security exchange.
Section 12.05    Permitted Transfers: Tenant may assign its entire interest under this Lease to a successor to Tenant by purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization without the consent of Landlord, provided that all of the following conditions are satisfied (a “Permitted Transfer”):

e.    Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of the purchase, merger, consolidation or reorganization. Tenant's notice to Landlord shall include information and documentation showing that each of the above conditions has been satisfied.

If the Completion Estimate indicates that the Premises cannot be made tenantable within 270 days from the date the repair and restoration is started, then regardless of anything in Section 17.01 above to the contrary, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to Tenant of such election within 90 days after receipt of the Completion Estimate.
In the event Landlord is required, or elects to rebuild as provided for above, and fails to complete same within 270 days from the date the repair and restoration is started, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon giving the Landlord at least thirty (30) days written notice of such election, which notice must be given to Landlord no earlier than 270 days from the date the repair and restoration is started and no later than 360 days from the date the repair and restoration is started. If Landlord fails to substantially complete such rebuilding before the expiration of said thirty (30) days, then this Lease shall terminate as of the thi1tieth (30th) day and neither party shall have any obligation to the other hereunder.
Article XVIII.
Condemnation
Either party may terminate this Lease if the whole or any material part of the Premises shall be taken or condemned for any public or quasi-public use under Law, by eminent domain or private purchase in lieu thereof (a “Taking”). Landlord shall also have the right to terminate this Lease if there is a Taking of any portion of the Office Area or Sullivan Center which would result in the remainder of the Office Area or Sullivan Center unsuitable for use similar to the use prior to the Taking. In order to exercise its right to terminate the Lease, Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, must provide written notice of termination to the other within 45 days of the Taking. Any such termination shall be effective as of the date the physical taking occurs. If this Lease is not terminated, the Rentable Square Footage of the Sullivan Center, the Rentable Square Footage of the Office Area, the Rentable Square Footage of the Premises and Tenant's Proportionate Share(s) shall, if applicable, be appropriately adjusted. In addition, Rent for any portion of the Premises taken or condemned shall be abated during the unexpired Term of this Lease effective when the physical taking of the portion of the Premises occurs. All compensation awarded for a Taking, or sale proceeds, shall be the property of Landlord, any right to receive compensation or proceeds being expressly waived by Tenant. However, Tenant may file a separate claim at its sole cost and expense for Tenant's Property and Tenant's reasonable relocation expenses, provided the filing of the claim does not diminish the award which would otherwise be receivable by Landlord.
