Landlord shall disburse funds from the Landlord Contribution within thirty (30) days of Landlord's receipt of the items described in the clauses (ii)(A) - (C) below, provided, however, that for the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on October 31, 2025, Landlord shall have no obligation to disburse amounts from the Landlord Contribution exceeding an aggregate of $140,214.00 (the "Initial Landlord Contribution Amount"). Any remaining portion of the Landlord Contribution in excess of the Initial Landlord Contribution Amount shall become available to Tenant beginning on the First Extension Term Commencement Date and shall be available to Tenant through the duration of the Term. Any disbursement of the Landlord Contribution to Tenant for reimbursement of its Tenant Installation Costs is conditioned upon the satisfaction of each of
3

Landlord shall cause said elevator to be programmed to service the Premises on or prior to the date which is six (6) full calendar months following the Effective Date hereof. Tenant agrees that the Elevator Work may occur during Normal Business Hours and that Landlord shall coordinate said Elevator Work with Tenant to minimize interruption of Tenant's business. If as part of Landlord's Elevator Work, current Requirements require construction of a demising wall or elevator vestibule, such construction shall be performed by Landlord, at Landlord sole cost and expense; if current Requirements do not require construction of a demising wall or elevator vestibule but Tenant desires to install one, such construction shall be performed by Tenant, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, which shall be governed by Article IX of the Lease.

Landlord reserves the right to discontinue Tenant's rights under this Section 11 upon prior written notice if (a) in Landlord's reasonable opinion, the Support Dog materially or adversely affects any other tenant or user of the Center, (b) the Support Dog, in Landlord's reasonable opinion, becomes or has become a danger or nuisance to any other tenant or user of the Center, (c) any Requirement disallows Tenant's use, or (d) in Landlord's reasonable opinion, the Support Dog becomes

EXHIBIT A
Operating Expenses and Taxes
Section 4.03 Expenses Defined: "Expenses" shall mean all expenses, costs and amounts of every kind and nature which Landlord incurs, pays or accrues during any calendar year for the ownership, management, maintenance, security, repair, replacement, restoration or operation of the Center or any portion thereof, net of amounts payable to Landlord by the Retail Owner (as such term is defined in the Declaration) under the Declaration for Expenses. Expenses include the cost of (i) operating, maintaining and repairing the Center, Base Building, Common Areas, Amenities and Building Systems; (ii) licenses, certificates, permits and inspections and the contesting compliance with Requirements, (iii) all insurance maintained by Landlord in connection with the Center; (iv) landscaping, relamping, and all supplies, tools, equipment and materials for the Center, (v) Market Rent for the Amenities and management office in Building and costs of operating, maintaining and repairing the Amenities net of any gross revenue received from such Amenities, (vi) reasonable third party management fees, consulting fees, legal fees, accounting fees and all other reasonable fees and amounts paid to third party contractors, consultants, and service and utility providers; (vii) rent for equipment and other personal property exclusively located within or used at the Center; (viii) compensation, benefits, employment taxes and other costs for employees of Landlord and its agents working on the Center; (ix) replacement of wall and floor coverings, ceiling tiles and fixtures in common areas, maintenance and replacement of curbs, sidewalks, and other walkways, routine roof repairs and maintenance (but excluding roof replacement) ; (xi) cost of any tenant relation programs reasonably established by Landlord, (xii) payments under Requirements, (xiii) amounts payable to the Retail Owner under the Declaration and (xii) the leasing or rental costs of any rotating or other art program for the Building. If Landlord is not furnishing any particular work or service (the cost of which, if performed by Landlord, would be included in Expenses) to a tenant other than Tenant who has undertaken to perform such work or service in lieu of the performance thereof by Landlord, Expenses shall be deemed to be increased by an amount equal to the additional Expenses which would reasonably have been incurred during such period by Landlord if it had at its own expense furnished such work or service to such tenant. If the Center is not at least one hundred percent (100%) occupied during all or a portion of any calendar year, Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment to the components of Expenses that vary with occupancy for such year to determine the amount of Expenses that would have been incurred had the Center been one hundred percent (100%) occupied; and the amount so determined shall be deemed to have been the amount of Expenses for such year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Expenses shall not include Excluded Expenses.
