PARKING: | Parking in the parking facility of the Building is currently at a cost of $215.00 per month per unreserved parking space, $250.00 per month per reserved parking space and $130.00 per month per tandem parking space, which fees are subject to adjustment by Landlord from time to time provided such adjustment is consistently applied to all of the tenants in the Building. Tenant shall have available to it all times during the Term of the Lease a minimum of 97 non-tandem parking spaces available for its use which Tenant may (i) allocate among unreserved and reserved spaces at its election from time to time, (ii) choose to increase or decrease the number of spaces it desires to use, and whether such spaces are tandem or non-tandem, at its election from time to time, and (iii) choose the location of the desired reserved spaces from those that are then-available; provided, however, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that at all times during the Term, as extended, if applicable, the number of parking spaces used by Tenant shall include five (5) Electric Parking Spaces (as hereinafter defined). Tenant must give Landlord (or Landlord’s parking manager, as the case may be) at least 30 days’ advance notice of any such election, provided that any increase in (a) the number of reserved parking spaces or (b) the number of spaces used above the guaranteed 97 total spaces will be subject to availability at such time. As of the Commencement Date, Tenant elects to use, and Landlord shall provide, 10 reserved spaces (including 5 Electric Parking Spaces) and 87 unreserved spaces, all of which are non-tandem spaces. Tenant shall be obligated to pay the parking fees as indicated herein based on the number and type of spaces Tenant actually uses, provided, however, the parking fees for the first six (6) full months of the Term (the “Parking Abatement Period”) shall be abated for the first 97 parking spaces that Tenant elects to use during such Parking Abatement Period regardless of whether such spaces are reserved or unreserved. Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, shall install or cause to be installed at least five (5) reserved, non-tandem electric charging stations in the parking facility of the Building on or prior to the Commencement Date in a location determined by Landlord and reasonably approved by Tenant, and Tenant shall use at least five (5) such non-tandem electric charging stations (the “Electric Parking Spaces”) as part of its selection of parking spaces. Should Tenant ever elect to reduce the number of Electric Parking Spaces it is occupying (subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, in Landlord’s sole discretion, if the reduction is below the minimum 5 Electric Parking Spaces), Tenant shall have first priority to elect to use the same again when and if they next become available, provided Tenant first gives notice to Landlord (or Landlord’s parking manager as the case may be) of such election. Landlord may elect to reduce the number of parking spaces occupied by Tenant (but never less than the guaranteed 97 amount) by giving Tenant not less than ninety (90) days’ notice of the same (a “Parking Reduction Notice”), and Tenant shall thereafter, and in any event prior to the ninety-first (91st) day after receipt of such Parking Reduction Notice, surrender such spaces and of such type as Tenant elects, in its sole discretion, but Tenant shall always utilize the five (5) Electric Parking Spaces, so that Tenant is occupying no more parking spaces than the number set forth in the Parking Reduction Notice (but not less than 97, unless Tenant so elects in its sole discretion). |

Taxes shall not include fines, penalties, costs or interest for any Taxes, or part thereof, which Landlord or Landlord’s Mortgagee failed to timely pay (except if same are caused by a Default by Tenant). If Landlord receives an abatement, reduction or recovery of Taxes attributable to any year of the Term during which Tenant paid Tenant's Proportional Share of any Taxes, then Taxes for that year will be retroactively adjusted and Landlord shall provide Tenant with a credit, if any, based on such abatement, reduction or recovery.

(b)Tenant agrees and acknowledges that Landlord has made no warranty or guaranty relating to the amount of Taxes, Expenses and Utility Expenses.
4.4.Payments of Rent Adjustments; Projections. Tenant shall pay Rent Adjustments to Landlord in the manner hereinafter provided.
(a)Tax Adjustment, Expense Adjustment and Utility Expense Adjustment. Tenant shall make payments on account of Tax Adjustment, Expense Adjustment and Utility Expense Adjustment (the aggregate of such payments with respect to any Adjustment Year being hereinafter referred to as the “Rent Adjustment Deposit”) as follows:
(i)Prior to each Adjustment Date and from time to time during the Adjustment Year in which such Adjustment Date falls, Landlord may deliver to Tenant a written notice or notices (each such notice being hereinafter referred to as a “Projection Notice”) setting forth (A) Landlord’s reasonable estimates, forecasts or projections (collectively, the “Projections”) of any or all of Taxes, Expenses and Utility Expenses for such Adjustment Year and (B) Tenant’s Rent Adjustment Deposits with respect to the Tax Adjustment, Expense Adjustment and Utility Expense Adjustment components of Rent Adjustments for such Adjustment Year based upon the Projections. Landlord’s budgets of Expenses and Utility Expenses and the Projections based thereon may assume full occupancy of the Building and that Landlord will furnish all services included in Expenses and Utility Expenses to all tenants of the Building.
(ii)Tenant shall commence payments of monthly installments of Rent Adjustment Deposits on the first day of the first calendar month during the Term following Landlord’s delivery of the first Projection Notice hereunder. On such date, and on or before the first day of each calendar month thereafter of the Adjustment Year
- 17 -
covered by such Projection Notice, Tenant shall pay to Landlord one-twelfth (1/12) of the Rent Adjustment Deposits shown in the Projection Notice. Within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s delivery of a Projection Notice for an Adjustment Year in progress, Tenant also shall pay Landlord a lump sum equal to the Rent Adjustment Deposits shown in the Projection Notice less the sum of (A) any previous payments on account of Rent Adjustment Deposits made with respect to such Adjustment Year and (B) monthly installments on account of Rent Adjustment Deposits due for the remainder of such Adjustment Year. Until such time as Landlord furnishes a Projection Notice for an Adjustment Year, Tenant shall continue to pay monthly installments of Rent Adjustment Deposits in the amount shown by the most recent Projection Notice or, if the Tax, Expense and Utility Expense Adjustment for the Adjustment Year covered by such Projection Notice has been determined, one-twelfth (1/12) of such Tax, Expense and Utility Expense Adjustment.
4.5.Readjustments. Following the end of each Adjustment Year and after Landlord has determined the actual amount of Expenses, Utility Expenses and Taxes to be used in calculating the Expense Adjustment, the Utility Expense Adjustment and the Tax Adjustment for such Adjustment Year, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing (any such notice hereinafter referred to as “Landlord’s Statement”) of such Expenses, Utility Expenses and Taxes and the corresponding Tenant’s Expense Adjustment, Utility Expense Adjustment and Tax Adjustment for such Adjustment Year. If the Expense Adjustment, Utility Expense Adjustment or Tax Adjustment owed for such Adjustment Year exceeds, respectively, the Expense Adjustment, Utility Expense Adjustment or Tax Adjustment component of the Rent Adjustment Deposits paid by Tenant during such Adjustment Year, then Tenant, within thirty (30) days after the date of Landlord’s Statement, shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to the excess of the Expense Adjustment, Utility Expense Adjustment or Tax Adjustment over, respectively, the Expense Adjustment, Utility Expense Adjustment or Tax Adjustment component of the Rent Adjustment Deposits paid by Tenant during such Adjustment Year. If the Expense Adjustment, Utility Expense Adjustment or Tax Adjustment component of the respective Rent Adjustment Deposits paid by Tenant during such Adjustment Year exceeds, respectively, the Expense Adjustment, Utility Expense Adjustment or Tax Adjustment owed for such Adjustment Year, then Landlord shall credit such excess to Rent payable after the date of Landlord’s Statement, or, at its option, may credit such excess to any Rent theretofore due and owing, until such excess has been exhausted. If this Lease expires or is terminated prior to full application of such excess, Landlord shall pay to Tenant the balance thereof not theretofore applied against Rent and not reasonably required for payment of Rent for the Adjustment Year in which this Lease expires, subject to Tenant’s obligations under Section 4.9 hereof, provided Tenant has vacated the Premises and otherwise has surrendered the Premises to Landlord in accordance with this Lease and Tenant is not then in default under this Lease. No interest or penalties shall accrue on any amounts which Landlord is obligated to credit or pay to Tenant pursuant to this Section. Landlord reserves the right to send a separate Landlord’s Statement for the Expense Adjustment, Utility Expense Adjustment and Tax Adjustment for any Adjustment Year, each such separate statement being deemed a Landlord’s Statement, and the sending of a separate statement shall not be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to send further statements for the remainder of the components of Rent Adjustments pursuant to this Article 4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord shall have failed to render Landlord’s Statement with respect to any calendar year within 365 days the end of such calendar year, then Landlord shall have waived its right to send any such Landlord’s Statement or otherwise further bill Tenant for that particular year, except
- 18 -
that Landlord shall send an Annual Statement for the final calendar year of the Lease Term by September 30th of the following year and thereafter Landlord shall have no further right to bill Tenant for any further Expenses.
4.6.Grossing Up and Allocations. If the Building is not fully occupied by tenants during all or a portion of any Adjustment Year or if during all or a portion of any Adjustment Year Landlord is not furnishing to any tenant or tenants any particular service, the cost of which, if furnished by Landlord, would be included in Expenses or Utility Expenses, then Landlord may elect to make an adjustment for such year of components of Expenses or Utility Expenses, as the case may be, and the amounts thereof which may vary depending upon the occupancy level of the Building or the number of tenants using the service. Any such adjustments shall be deemed costs and expenses paid or incurred by Landlord and included in Expenses or Utility Expenses, as the case may be, for such year, as if the Building had been fully occupied during the entire Adjustment Year and Landlord had furnished such service at its expense to all tenants for the entire Adjustment Year and Landlord had paid or incurred such costs and expenses for such year. If any item of Expenses or Utility Expenses, although paid or incurred in one year, relates to more than one calendar year, at the option of Landlord, such item may be allocated proportionately among such related calendar years. For purpose of the performing Landlord’s gross-up calculations, the Premises shall be deemed to mean the full 96,720 rentable square feet. In no event shall this section allow or entitle Landlord to recover more than the cost Landlord actually incurs for any particular grossed up variable Expense.
4.7.Books and Records. Landlord shall maintain books and records showing Taxes, Expenses and Utility Expenses in accordance with sound accounting and management practices. Tenant or its representative shall have the right to examine Landlord’s books and records (and Landlord shall make all such electronic versions available to Tenant) showing Taxes, Expenses and Utility Expenses upon reasonable prior notice and during normal business hours at any time within sixty (60) days following the furnishing by Landlord to Tenant of any Landlord’s Statement provided for in Section 4.5. Unless Tenant takes written exception to any item within sixty (60) days after the furnishing of any Landlord’s Statement containing such item, such Landlord’s Statement shall be considered final and accepted by Tenant.
4.8.Audit Procedures. If Tenant notifies Landlord within such sixty (60) day period that Tenant disputes any specific item or items in any Landlord’s Statement, and such dispute is not resolved between Landlord and Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date such notice is given by Tenant, either party, during the fifteen (15) day period following the expiration of the thirty (30) day period commencing on the date such notice is given, may refer such disputed item or items for determination to an independent certified public accountant selected by such party and approved by the other party (to be paid on an hourly and not a contingent fee basis), which approval shall not be withheld unreasonably, and the determination of such accountant shall be final, conclusive and binding upon Landlord and Tenant. Tenant agrees to pay all costs involved in such determination, except in the case of Tax Adjustment, Expense Adjustment and Utility Expense Adjustment for any Adjustment Year where it is determined that Landlord has overcharged Tenant for Tax Adjustment, Expense Adjustment and Utility Expense Adjustment for such Adjustment Year by more than five percent (5%), in which case Landlord shall pay all such costs.
4.9.Proration and Survival. With respect to any Adjustment Year which does not fall entirely within the Term, Tenant shall be obligated to pay as Expense Adjustment, Utility Expense Adjustment and Tax Adjustment for such Adjustment Year only a pro rata share of Expense Adjustment, Utility Expense Adjustment and Tax Adjustment as hereinabove determined, based upon the number of days of the Term falling within the Adjustment Year.
- 19 -
Following expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall pay any Rent Adjustments due to Landlord within thirty (30) days after the date of each Landlord’s Statement sent to Tenant. Without limitation of other obligations of Tenant which shall survive the expiration of the Term, the obligation of Tenant to pay Rent Adjustments provided for in this Article 4 accruing during the Term shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.
4.10.No Decrease in Base Rent. In no event shall any Rent Adjustments result in a decrease of Base Rent payable hereunder.
4.11.Additional Rent. All amounts payable by Tenant as or on account of Rent Adjustments shall be deemed to be additional Rent becoming due under this Lease.
4.12.Cap on Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Expenses, except for Uncontrollable Costs (as hereinafter defined) shall be deemed not to increase by more than four percent (4%) (the “Cost Cap”) from one calendar year to the next calendar year during the Term regardless of any actual increases in Expense; provided, however, in the event that in any calendar year any such increase in Expenses is in fact greater than the Cost Cap (any such increase in excess of the Cost Cap being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Carryover Percentage”), Landlord shall have the right to add all of the Carryover Percentage (or such portion thereof as will not produce a total increase in Expenses in excess of the Cost Cap) to the increases in Expenses occurring over any of the following years of the Term in which such increases in Expenses are less than the Cost Cap, on a cumulative and compounding basis, until all such Carryover Percentages have been used to increase Expenses for purposes of calculating Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Expenses. For example, if the actual increase in Expenses during the second calendar year of the Term is six percent (6%) (thus creating a Carryover Percentage of two percent (2%), which may be carried forward to future years by Landlord), and if in the third calendar year of the Term the actual increase in Expenses is two percent (2%), then during the third calendar year of the Term the Expenses shall be deemed to increase by four percent (4%), such four percent (4%) increase arising from adding the two percent (2%) increase in Expenses which occurred in the third calendar year of the Term to the two percent (2%) Carryover Percentage from the second calendar year. The foregoing provisions of this Section notwithstanding, union wages, the cost of all casualty, liability and other insurance applicable to the Building and Landlord’s personal property used in connection with the Building, utility expenses and Taxes (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to herein as the “Uncontrollable Costs”) shall not be subject to any limitation or cap, and accordingly, the total dollar increase in Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Expenses payable pursuant to this Section for any and each calendar year during the Term shall be calculated without any limitation or cap on Uncontrollable Costs.

If the Unauthorized Interruption is the result of any misconduct or negligent acts of Tenant or its agents or employees, or any other person entering upon the Premises under express or implied invitation of Tenant (collectively, “Tenant's Agents”), Rent will not abate, except to the extent of Landlord's recovery under its loss of rent insurance. If Tenant continues to use any part of the Premises to
- 22 -
conduct its business during any Service Failure, the Rent will only abate for the untenantable portion of the Premises not being used by Tenant.
6.4.Regulations Regarding Utilities Services. Tenant agrees to reasonably cooperate with Landlord in abiding by all reasonable regulations and requirements which Landlord may prescribe for the proper functioning and protection of all utilities and services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Premises and the Building, so long as the same does not impair Tenant’s rights or increase Tenant’s obligations hereunder beyond a de minimis amount.

Landlord reserves the following rights, exercisable without notice and without liability to Tenant for damage or injury to property, person or business and without effecting an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use or possession or giving rise to any claim for setoff or abatement of Rent or affecting any of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease:

(f)To grant to anyone the exclusive right to conduct any business or render any service in the Building, or the nonexclusive right to use any premises in the Building for a use which is the same as or similar to the use expressly permitted to Tenant by Article 5, so long as in each case the Permitted Use of Tenant hereunder is not affected or proscribed in any way;

- 26 -
to activate elevator emergency controls, or otherwise to take such action or preventive measures deemed necessary by Landlord for the safety or security of the tenants or other occupants of the Building or for the protection of the Building and the property in the Building.

(j)To reasonably regulate access to telephone, electrical and other utility closets in the Building and to require use of designated contractors for any work involving access to the same;
(k)To reasonably control and prevent access to Common Areas and other non-general public areas of the Building, in each case so long as such controls are uniformly applied in a non-discriminatory manner and Tenant’s rights hereunder are not impaired and Tenant’s obligations hereunder are not increased as a result of the same;
(l)Subject to the restrictions of Section 1.4 above, provided that reasonable access to the Premises, the parking area (and Tenant’s use of the parking spaces), and the Building fitness center shall be maintained and the business of Tenant shall not be interfered with unreasonably, to rearrange, relocate, enlarge, reduce or change corridors, exits, entrances in or to the Building and to decorate and, at its own expense, to make repairs, alterations, additions and improvements, structural or otherwise, in or to the Building or any part thereof, and any adjacent building, land, street or alley, including for the purpose of connection with or entrance into or use of the Building in conjunction with any adjoining or adjacent building or buildings, now existing or hereafter constructed, and may for such purposes erect scaffolding and other structures reasonably required by the character of the work to be performed, and during such operations may enter upon the Premises and take into and upon or through any part of the Building, including the Premises, all materials that may be required to make such repairs, alterations, improvements or additions, and in that connection, Landlord may temporarily close public entry ways, other public spaces, stairways or corridors and interrupt or temporarily suspend any services or facilities agreed to be furnished by Landlord, all without the same constituting an eviction of Tenant in whole or in part and without abatement of Rent by reason of loss or interruption of the business of Tenant or otherwise and without in any manner rendering Landlord liable for damages or relieving Tenant from performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Landlord, at its option, may make any repairs, alterations, improvements and additions in and about the Building and the Premises during ordinary business hours so long as the same does not impair (beyond a de minimis amount) Tenant’s ability to conduct business in the Premises in the ordinary course and without material interruption, sound, vibration or other conditions that harm the ability of Tenant to conduct business in the Premises, otherwise, Landlord shall perform such work at times other than business hours and Landlord shall pay all overtime and additional expenses resulting therefrom. Notwithstanding the foregoing, but to the extent practicable, Landlord shall reasonably coordinate all of the foregoing in advance with Tenant and will perform all of the foregoing in a diligent, workerlike manner and use commercially reasonable effort to limit any interruption or inconvenience to Tenant.
11.2.Use of Roof and Land. Landlord specifically excepts and reserves to itself the use of the roof, the exterior portions of the Premises, all rights to the land and improvements below the improved floor level of the Premises, to the improvements and air rights above the ceiling of the Premises and to the improvements and air rights located outside the demising walls of the Premises and to such areas within the Premises required for installation of utility lines and other installations required to serve other occupants of the Building and to maintain and repair same, and no rights with respect thereto are conferred upon Tenant, unless otherwise specifically provided herein. This Lease does not grant any rights to light or air, provided, however, that Landlord shall not voluntarily obstruct the windows to the Premises except temporarily and as
- 27 -
reasonably required in connection with repairs, improvements, maintenance or cleaning and in such case only for the shortest period of time and as limited in scope as reasonably necessary.
If Landlord has space available on the roof of the Building, which space is in Landlord’s sole control and no other party has any rights thereto, Landlord shall grant to Tenant a license to locate communications equipment approved by Landlord in its reasonable discretion or such other equipment that is reasonably required by Tenant in connection with the conduct of its business, such as, for example venting, UPS, antennas or supplemental HVAC equipment (all such equipment, collectively, the “Equipment”) in the area on the roof of the Building designated by Landlord, in its reasonable discretion based upon the needs of each party (the “Equipment Space”) during the Lease Term. Such license shall accommodate one or more roof top supplemental air conditioning unit(s) and/or air cooled chiller(s) and related components The rights granted under this License are non-exclusive (provided that once Equipment is installed, the space occupied by such Equipment shall become exclusively that of the license holder for such Equipment), limited use rights, in the nature of a license coupled with an interest and therefore irrevocable for the duration of the Lease Term, which rights are personal to Tenant and any Permitted Assignee and may not be assigned or used by any party other than Tenant or an assignee that is a Permitted Assignee. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant may not resell any services provided through the Equipment. Landlord may, from time to time, upon not less than 90 days’ written notice, relocate the Equipment Space to another area of the roof; provided that such relocation shall not materially, substantially, and unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Equipment and shall be made at Landlord’s sole cost and expense.

The Equipment shall be used solely for Tenant’s and any assignee that is a Permitted Transferee’s own business purposes and not for the benefit of, license or concession to any other tenant or occupant of the Building or other party.
ARTICLE 12
ALTERATIONS
ALTERATIONS
Tenant shall not make, without the prior written consent of Landlord, any alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises (collectively “Alterations”), except as otherwise provided in this Lease. Landlord’s consent shall not be required for any non-structural interior alterations (including, without limitation, cosmetic and other decorative alterations) (collectively “Non-Structural Alterations”), provided that they do not affect mechanical, electrical, plumbing and utility services and/or Building systems, are not visible from outside the Premises, do not affect Landlord’s insurance coverages for the Building and are reasonably consistent in quality with Tenant’s Work, so long as Landlord is given written notice (which notice may be by email to Building management or through a building management portal, as applicable) of such alterations before they are commenced (except no notice is required for cosmetic or decorative alterations of an immaterial nature). If Landlord’s consent to any such Alterations is required hereunder and obtained, then before commencement of the work or delivery of any materials
- 28 -
onto the Premises or into the Building, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord for approval plans and specifications, names and addresses of contractors, copies of contracts if requested by Landlord, necessary permits and licenses, and such other materials as may be reasonably requested by Landlord. All Alterations shall be installed in a good, workmanlike manner and only new, high-grade materials shall be used. All such work shall be done only by contractors or mechanics reasonably approved by Landlord and shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable scheduling requirements and regulations. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that if Landlord determines that it is necessary to utilize the services of third party engineers in connection with the review and approval for any Alterations (other than Not-Structural Alterations for which no approval is required), Tenant shall pay the reasonable, out of pocket cost thereof within thirty (30) days after it receives an invoice therefor from Landlord together with reasonable supporting documentation. Before commencing any work in connection with such Alterations, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with certificates of insurance from all contractors performing labor or furnishing materials insuring Landlord against any and all liabilities which may arise out of or be connected in any way with said Alterations, with such limits as are set forth in the Workletter or as Landlord shall reasonably require. Tenant shall permit Landlord to supervise construction operations in connection with the foregoing work if Landlord requests to do so, provided Landlord shall not charge Tenant a supervisory fee, but Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of the engineer as provided above. Tenant shall pay the cost of all such Alterations, as well as the cost of repairing any damage to the Building, including the Premises, occasioned by such Alterations, including the cost of labor and materials, contractors’ profits, overhead and general conditions. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein to the contrary, Landlord shall not charge any supervisory or overhead or other fee with respect to any alterations performed by Tenant, but Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of the engineer as provided above. Upon completing any Alterations (other than Non-Structural Alterations), Landlord may request and Tenant shall then furnish Landlord with contractors’ affidavits in form reasonably required by Landlord or by law, as is applicable, and full and final waivers of lien and receipted bills covering all labor and materials expended and used. All Alterations shall comply with all insurance requirements and with all city and county ordinances and regulations and with the requirements of all state and federal statutes and regulations. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if any Alterations will affect the mechanical, electrical and/or plumbing systems in the Building, such Alterations shall be subject to the prior written approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
Subject to Tenant’s obligation to obtain Landlord’s written approval of Tenant’s connection to Landlord’s systems in the Building, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned, Landlord shall provide to Tenant, at no additional Rent or other charge, reasonable and non-exclusive access to shafts, closets and risers in the Building reasonably designated by Landlord for installation of the Lines, supplemental HVAC and other requirements customary for Tenant’s permitted use, for Tenant’s installation, removal, replacement, repair, maintenance and operation therein, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, of conduits, lines, cables, ducts, pipes and other installations for data, telecommunications, supplemental HVAC, emergency generator and other requirements, whether connecting from the
- 29 -
Building points of entry to the Premises, or from any rooftop mounted equipment to the Premises.
The installation of any supplemental HVAC system in the Premises for the purpose of providing supplemental air-conditioning to the Premises (the “Supplemental HVAC System”) shall be governed by the terms of Article 12 of this Lease if installed as an Alteration or the Workletter if installed as part of Tenant’s Work, and this paragraph, and, if approved by Landlord pursuant to the terms of Article 12 of this Lease or Workletter, as applicable, and this paragraph, shall be performed by Tenant at its sole cost and expense. All aspects of the Supplemental HVAC System (including, but not limited to, the plans and specifications therefor and any connection to the Building's condenser water system) shall be subject to Landlord's prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless the structural aspects of the Building, the Building Systems, the exterior appearance of the Building and/or the certificate of occupancy issued for the Building or the Premises will be adversely affected and/or the installation of the Supplemental HVAC System will violate any Applicable Laws, in which event Landlord's approval may be withheld in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if required for such purpose, Tenant may connect into the Building's condenser water system, and further, Tenant shall have available for the Lease Term of the Lease such cooling capacity as is reasonably required by Tenant for operating the Supplemental HVAC System reasonably consistent with the supplemental cooling needs for the ordinary course of Tenant’s business (including customary office IT server rooms). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Lease, Tenant shall have no obligation to remove the Supplemental HVAC System prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Any reimbursements owing by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable by Tenant within thirty (30) days of Tenant's receipt of an invoice and reasonable supporting documentation therefor
ARTICLE 13
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
13.1.Assignment and Subletting. Tenant, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, shall not (a) assign, transfer, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or encumber this Lease or any interest under it, (b) allow to occur any transfer of this Lease or Tenant’s interest herein by operation of law, (c) sublet the Premises or any part thereof, (d) permit the use or occupancy of the Premises or any part thereof for any purpose not provided for in the Schedule to this Lease or by anyone other than Tenant and Tenant’s agents and employees (other than Desk Space Users), or (e) if Tenant is not a publicly traded entity, cause, suffer or permit to occur any “Change of Control” (as such term is defined in Section 13.8 hereof). To the extent permitted by law, this Lease shall not be assigned or assignable by voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or otherwise, and in no event shall this Lease or any rights or privileges hereunder be an asset of Tenant under any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization proceedings.
13.2.Rentals Based on Net Income. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Article 13, Tenant expressly covenants and agrees not to enter into any lease, sublease, license, concession or other agreement for use, occupancy or utilization of the Premises
- 30 -
which provides for rental or other payment for such use, occupancy or utilization based in whole or in part on the net income or profits derived by any person from the property leased, used, occupied or utilized (other than an amount based upon a fixed percentage or percentages of receipts or sales), and that any such purported lease, sublease, license, concession or other agreement shall be absolutely void and ineffective as a conveyance of any right or interest in the possession, use, occupancy or utilization of any part of the Premises.
13.3.Tenant to Remain Obligated. Consent by Landlord to any assignment, subletting, use, occupancy or transfer shall not operate to relieve Tenant from any covenant or obligation hereunder except to the extent, if any, expressly provided for in such consent, or be deemed to be a consent to or relieve Tenant from obtaining Landlord’s consent to any subsequent assignment, transfer, subletting, use or occupancy. Tenant shall pay all of Landlord’s reasonable, out of pocket costs, charges and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with any assignment, transfer, subletting, use or occupancy made or requested by Tenant, not to exceed $2,500 plus reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord in the aggregate per transfer request.
13.4.Tenant’s Notice; Landlord’s Right to Terminate. Except for any Permitted Transfers for which this Section 13.4 shall not apply, Tenant, by notice in writing, shall advise Landlord of its intention from, on and after a stated date (which shall not be less than twenty (20) days after the date of Tenant’s notice) to assign this Lease or sublet any part or all of the Premises for the balance or any part of the Term, and, in such event, Landlord shall have the right, to be exercised by giving written notice to Tenant within twenty (20) days after receipt of Tenant’s notice, to recapture the space described in Tenant’s notice and such recapture notice, if given, shall terminate this Lease with respect to the space therein described as of the date stated in Tenant’s notice. Tenant’s notice shall state the name and address of the proposed subtenant or assignee, and the material terms upon which the transfer is proposed and sufficient information to permit Landlord to determine the financial responsibility and character of the proposed subtenant or assignee shall be delivered to Landlord with said notice. If Tenant’s notice covers all of the space hereby demised, and if Landlord gives its recapture notice with respect thereto, the Term of this Lease shall expire on the date stated in Tenant’s notice as fully and completely as if that date had been herein definitely fixed for the expiration of the Term. If, however, this Lease is terminated pursuant to the foregoing with respect to less than the entire Premises, Base Rent and Tenant’s Proportionate Share as defined herein shall be adjusted on the basis of the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant, and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect; provided that Tenant shall pay all costs in connection with any physical subdivision of any portion of the Premises required to comply with applicable laws following a recapture and termination of such space. In the alternative, Tenant may deliver to Landlord a preliminary request for determination (a “Request for Determination”) as to Landlord’s intent to recapture and terminate, in which case, the name of the proposed subtenant or assignee is not initially required, and Landlord shall provide to Tenant its determination whether it will elect to recapture and terminate or not within ten (10) business days after receipt (provided, however, that Landlord’s response to a Request for Determination does not vitiate any other term or condition of this Article 13, including, as provided below, Landlord’s recapture right). Tenant acknowledges and agrees however that, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Landlord will still require the notice specified above with detail surrounding the proposed subtenant or assignee as a condition to granting its consent as provided in Section 13.5 below, notwithstanding Landlord’s response to a Request for Determination and if, after being informed of the name of the proposed subtenant or assignee, Landlord shall have the right to recapture the applicable portion of the Premises.
- 31 -
13.5.Landlord’s Consent. If Landlord, upon receiving Tenant’s notice with respect to any such space, does not exercise its right to terminate as aforesaid, Landlord will not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to Tenant’s assignment of this Lease or subletting the space covered by its notice, and shall notify Tenant of the same within the same twenty (20) day period provided to Landlord in which to elect to recapture and terminate as provided in Section 13.4 above. Landlord shall not be deemed to have unreasonably withheld its consent to a sublease of part or all of the Premises or an assignment of this Lease if its consent is withheld because: (a) Tenant is then in breach or violation of any of the terms hereunder beyond any applicable notice and cure period; (b) any notice of termination of this Lease or termination of Tenant’s possession was given under Article 17; (c) the portion of the Premises which Tenant proposes to sublease, including the means of ingress thereto and egress therefrom and the proposed use thereof, or the remaining portion of the Premises, or both, will violate any applicable law, ordinance or regulation, including, without limitation, any applicable building code or zoning ordinances; (d) the proposed use of the Premises by the subtenant or assignee does not conform with the use permitted by Article 5; (e) in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, the proposed subtenant or assignee is of a character or is engaged in a business which would be deleterious to the reputation of the Building, or the subtenant or assignee is not sufficiently financially responsible to perform its obligations under the proposed sublease or assignment; (f) the proposed subtenant or assignee is a government or a government agency; or (g) the proposed subtenant or assignee is an entity to whom Landlord or Landlord’s agent have been engaged in active negotiations for the leasing of space in the Building as evidenced by the trading of letters of intent in the 3 month period prior to Tenant sending its notice of proposed transfer under Section 13.4 above; provided, however, that the foregoing are merely examples of reasons for which Landlord may withhold its consent and shall not be deemed exclusive of any permitted reasons for reasonably withholding consent whether similar to or dissimilar from the foregoing examples.
13.6.Profits. Except for any Permitted Transfer for which this Section 13.6 shall not apply, if Tenant, having first obtained Landlord’s consent to any sublease or assignment, or if Tenant or a trustee in bankruptcy for Tenant pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, assigns this Lease or sublets the Premises, or any part thereof, at a rental or for other consideration in excess of the Rent or pro rata portion thereof due and payable by Tenant under this Lease, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as additional Rent 50% of any such excess rent or other monetary consideration payable solely with respect to the applicable portion of Tenant’s leasehold estate in Premises (after deducting therefrom reasonable and customary real estate brokerage commissions actually paid by Tenant to unaffiliated third parties, tenant improvement allowances, rent concessions, the actual cost of improvements to the Premises made by Tenant for the transferee, legal fees, marketing expenses, and other direct out-of-pocket costs actually paid by Tenant in connection with the transfer (as long as the costs are commercially reasonable and are commonly incurred by landlords in leasing similar space and Tenant promptly provides to Landlord an itemization of charges and reasonable supporting documentation evidencing such deductions)) within ten (10) days after receipt under any such assignment or, in the case of a sublease, (a) within ten (10) days after receipt of the same each month during the term of any sublease, the excess of all rent and other consideration due from the subtenant for such month over the Rent then payable to Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this Lease for said month (or, if only a portion of the Premises is being sublet, the excess of all rent and other consideration due from the subtenant for such month over the portion of the Rent then payable to Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this Lease for said month which is allocable on a square footage basis to the space sublet) and (b) immediately upon receipt thereof, any other consideration realized by Tenant from such subletting; it being agreed, however, that Landlord shall not be responsible for any deficiency if Tenant assigns this Lease or sublets the Premises or any part thereof at a rental less than that provided for herein.
- 32 -
13.7.Assignee to Assume Obligations. If Tenant assigns this Lease as permitted herein, the assignee shall expressly assume all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder in a written instrument satisfactory to Landlord and furnished to Landlord not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of the assignment. If Tenant subleases the Premises as permitted herein, Tenant shall obtain and furnish to Landlord, not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of such sublease and in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord (if not already contained in the sublease), the written agreement of such subtenant to the effect that the subtenant, at Landlord’s option and written request, will attorn to Landlord in the event this Lease terminates before the expiration of the sublease.
13.8.Change of Control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 13, this Section 13.8 shall not be applicable to Tenant so long as Tenant is a publicly traded entity but if that is not the case, if Tenant is a corporation (other than a corporation the stock of which is publicly traded) the term “Change of Control” shall mean any direct or indirect change in the legal or beneficial ownership or control of the shares of stock which constitute control of Tenant other than by reason of gift or death.

DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION BY CASUALTY
DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION BY CASUALTY
15.1.Damage or Destruction by Casualty. If the Premises or the Building are damaged by fire or other casualty and if such damage does not render all or a substantial portion of the Premises or the Building untenantable, then Landlord shall proceed to repair and restore the same with reasonable promptness, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustments and delays caused by matters beyond Landlord’s reasonable control. If any such damage renders all or a substantial portion of the Premises or the Building untenantable, Landlord, with reasonable promptness after the occurrence of such damage, shall reasonably estimate (in consultation with independent architects and/or contractors) the length of time that will be required to substantially complete the repair and restoration of such damage and shall advise Tenant by notice of such estimate. If it is estimated that the amount of time required to substantially complete such repair and restoration will exceed two hundred seventy (270) days from the date such damage occurred, then either Landlord or Tenant (but as to Tenant, only if all or a substantial portion of the Premises or the parking area as reasonably required for Tenant to make productive use of the Premises are rendered untenantable) shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date of such damage upon giving notice to the other at any time within twenty (20) days after Landlord
- 36 -
gives Tenant the notice containing said estimate (it being understood that, if it elects to do so, Landlord may also give such notice of termination together with the notice containing said estimate). Unless this Lease is so terminated, Landlord shall proceed with reasonable promptness and diligence to repair and restore the Premises, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustments and delays caused by matters beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, and also subject to zoning laws and building codes then in effect. Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant, and Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease, except as hereinafter provided, if such repairs and restoration in fact are not completed within the time period estimated by Landlord or within two hundred seventy (270) days. If the Premises are not repaired or restored within eighteen (18) months after the date of such fire or other casualty, then either party may terminate this Lease, effective as of the date of such fire or other casualty, by written notice given to the other party not later than thirty (30) days after the expiration of said eighteen (18) month period, but prior to substantial completion of repair or restoration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (a) Landlord shall have no duty pursuant to this Section to repair or restore any portion of the alterations, additions or improvements owned or made by or on behalf of Tenant in the Premises or existing in the Premises as of the date such space is leased to, or occupied by, Tenant, all of which shall be repaired or restored by Tenant, or to expend for any repair or restoration amounts in excess of insurance proceeds paid to Landlord and available for repair or restoration; (b) Tenant shall not have the right to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section if the damage or destruction was caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its agents or employees; and (c) if any such damage rendering all or a substantial portion of the Premises or the Building untenantable shall occur during the last two (2) years of the Term, either Landlord or Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to the other within sixty (60) days after the date such damage occurred, and if such option is so exercised, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such notice. The provisions of this Section 15.1 shall govern, notwithstanding any applicable laws, statutes or ordinances to the contrary.
15.2.Abatement of Rent. In the event any fire or casualty and such fire or casualty renders the Premises untenantable and if this Lease is not terminated pursuant to Section 15.1 by reason of such damage, then Rent shall abate during the period beginning with the date of such damage and ending with the date Landlord tenders the Premises to Tenant with Landlord’s restoration work completed. Such abatement shall be in an amount bearing the same ratio to the total amount of Rent for such period as the portion of the Premises not ready for occupancy from time to time bears to the entire Premises. In the event of termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 15.1, Rent shall be apportioned on a per diem basis and shall be paid to the date of the fire or casualty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the fire or casualty is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its agents or employees, then Rent shall not abate as provided in this Section 15.2 unless and to the extent that Landlord receives insurance proceeds related thereto.
ARTICLE 16
EMINENT DOMAIN
EMINENT DOMAIN
If the Building or a substantial part thereof, or any part thereof which includes all or a substantial part of the Premises, shall be taken or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, the Term of this Lease shall end upon and not before the earlier of the date when the possession of the part so taken shall be required for such use or purpose or the effective date of the taking, and without apportionment of the award to or for the benefit of Tenant. If any condemnation proceeding shall be instituted in which it is sought to
- 37 -
take or damage any part of the Building, the taking of which, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, would prevent the economical operation of the Building, and such taking or damage makes it reasonably necessary or desirable to remodel the Building to conform to the taking or damage, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice given to Tenant not less than ninety (90) days prior to the date of termination designated in said notice so long as Landlord also terminates all other leases in the Building. In either of these events, Rent at the then current rate shall be apportioned as of the date of the termination. No money or other consideration shall be payable by Landlord to Tenant for the right of termination. Landlord shall receive the entire award or other compensation for the Real Property, the Project and other improvements taken and Tenant shall have no right to share in the condemnation award, whether for a total or partial taking, for loss of Tenant’s leasehold or improvements or other loss or expenses or to share in any judgment for damages. Tenant shall have the right to make any claims allowed by the laws of the State of Colorado against the condemning authority, including an award for moving expenses, loss of Tenant’s Property and the unamortized balance of leasehold improvements done at Tenant’s expense and not paid for by any Landlord provided improvement allowance, as long as any award made to Tenant does not diminish Landlord’s award.
ARTICLE 17
DEFAULT

17.1.Events of Default. The occurrence of any one or more of the following matters constitutes a “Default” by Tenant under this Lease:

(e)Tenant abandons the Premises and fails to otherwise perform under this Lease;
(f)Tenant becomes insolvent or bankrupt or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts as they mature, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or applies for or consents to the appointment of a trustee or receiver for Tenant or for the major part of its property;
- 38 -
(g)The levy upon, under writ of execution or the attachment by legal process of, the leasehold interest of Tenant, or the filing or creation of a lien with respect to such leasehold interest, which lien shall not be release or discharged within sixty (60) days from the date of such filing;
(h)A trustee or receiver is appointed for Tenant or for the major part of its property and is not discharged within ninety (90) days after such appointment; or
(i)Any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding, or other proceeding for relief under any bankruptcy law, or similar law for the relief of debtors, is instituted (i) by or on behalf of Tenant or (ii) against Tenant and is allowed against it or is consented to by it or is not dismissed within ninety (90) days after such institution.
At Landlord’s option, any written notice of default required to be given to Tenant may be given in the form of a statutory notice of default under the laws of the State in which the Building is located relating to the leasing of real property.
17.2.Rights and Remedies of Landlord. If a Default occurs, Landlord shall have, to the extent not prohibited expressly by law, the rights and remedies set forth in this Article 17, which shall be distinct, separate and cumulative and shall not operate to exclude or deprive Landlord of any other right or remedy allowed it by law:
(a)Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving to Tenant notice of Landlord’s election to do so, in which event the Term of this Lease shall end, and all right, title and interest of Tenant hereunder shall expire, on the date stated in such notice and demanding that Tenant deliver possession of the Premises on such date;
(b)Landlord may terminate the right of Tenant to possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease by giving notice to Tenant that Tenant’s right to possession shall end on the date stated in such notice, whereupon the right of Tenant to possession of the Premises or any part thereof shall cease on the date stated in such notice and demanding that Tenant deliver possession of the Premises on such date; and
(c)Landlord may enforce the provisions of this Lease and may enforce and protect the rights of Landlord hereunder by a suit or suits in equity or at law for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained herein, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy, including recovery of all moneys due or to become due from Tenant under any of the provisions of this Lease.
17.3.Right to Re-Enter. If Landlord exercises either of the remedies provided in Sections 17.2(a) or (b), Tenant shall surrender possession and vacate the Premises and immediately deliver possession thereof to Landlord, and Landlord may re-enter and take complete and peaceful possession of the Premises, with or without process of law, full and complete license to do so being hereby granted to Landlord, and Landlord may remove all occupants and property therefrom, using such force as may be necessary, without being deemed guilty in any manner of trespass, eviction or forcible entry and detainer and without relinquishing Landlord’s right to Rent or any other right given to Landlord hereunder or by operation of law.
17.4.Current Damages. If Landlord terminates the right of Tenant to possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to immediate recovery of all amounts then due hereunder. Such termination of possession shall not release Tenant, in whole or in part, from Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent hereunder for the full Term, and Landlord
- 39 -
shall have the right, from time to time, to recover from Tenant, and Tenant shall remain liable for, all Base Rent, Rent Adjustments and any other sums accruing as they become due under this Lease during the period from the date of such notice of termination of possession to the stated end of the Term. In any such case, Landlord may relet the Premises or any part thereof for the account of Tenant for such rent, for such time (which may be for a term extending beyond the Term of this Lease) and upon such terms as Landlord shall determine and may collect the rents from such reletting. Landlord shall not be required to accept any tenant offered by Tenant or to observe any instructions given by Tenant relative to such reletting. Also, in any such case, Landlord may make repairs, alterations and additions in or to the Premises and redecorate the same to the extent deemed by Landlord necessary or desirable and in connection therewith change the locks or other access devices to the Premises, and Tenant upon demand shall pay the cost of all of the foregoing together with Landlord’s expenses of reletting. The rents from any such reletting shall be applied first to the payment of the expenses of reentry, redecoration, repair and alterations and the expenses of reletting and second to the payment of Rent herein provided to be paid by Tenant. Any excess or residue shall operate only as an offsetting credit against the amount of Rent due and owing as the same thereafter becomes due and payable hereunder, and the use of such offsetting credit to reduce the amount of Rent due Landlord, if any, shall not be deemed to give Tenant any right, title or interest in or to such excess or residue and any such excess or residue shall belong to Landlord solely, and in no event shall Tenant be entitled to a credit on its indebtedness to Landlord in excess of the aggregate sum (including Base Rent and Rent Adjustments) which would have been paid by Tenant for the period for which the credit to Tenant is being determined, had no Default occurred. No such reentry or repossession, repairs, alterations and additions, or reletting shall be construed as an eviction or ouster of Tenant or as an election on Landlord’s part to terminate this Lease, unless a written notice of such intention is given to Tenant, or shall operate to release Tenant in whole or in part from any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, and Landlord, at any time and from time to time, may sue and recover judgment for any deficiencies remaining after the application of the proceeds of any such reletting.
17.5.Final Damages. If this Lease is terminated by Landlord pursuant to Section 17.2(a), Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all Rent accrued and unpaid for the period up to and including such termination date, as well as all other additional sums payable by Tenant, or for which Tenant is liable or for which Tenant has agreed to indemnify Landlord under any of the provisions of this Lease, which may be then owing and unpaid, and all costs and expenses, including court costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord in the enforcement of its rights and remedies hereunder, and, in addition, Landlord shall be entitled to recover as damages for loss of the bargain and not as a penalty (a) the unamortized portion of any brokerage commissions paid by Landlord in connection with this Lease and of any concessions offered by Landlord to Tenant in connection with this Lease, including without limitation Landlord’s unamortized contribution to the cost of tenant improvements and alterations, if any, installed by either Landlord or Tenant pursuant to this Lease or any Workletter, (b) the aggregate sum which at the time of such termination represents the excess, if any, of the present value of the aggregate Rent which would have been payable after the termination date had this Lease not been terminated, including, without limitation, Base Rent at the annual rate or respective annual rates for the remainder of the Term provided for in Article 3 of this Lease or elsewhere herein and the amount projected by Landlord to represent Rent Adjustments for the remainder of the Term pursuant to Article 4 of this Lease, over the then present value of the then aggregate fair rental value of the Premises for the balance of the Term, such present worth to be computed in each case on the basis of a four percent (4%) per annum discount from the respective dates upon which such rentals would have been payable hereunder had this Lease not been terminated, and (c) any damages in addition thereto, including
- 40 -
reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, which Landlord sustains as a result of the breach of any of the covenants of this Lease other than for the payment of Rent.
17.6.Acceleration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, to the extent not expressly prohibited by law, in the event of any Default by Tenant, Landlord may terminate this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession and accelerate and declare all Rent reserved for the remainder of the Term to be immediately due and payable (including amounts projected by Landlord for Rent Adjustments that would have accrued thereafter); provided the Rent so accelerated shall be discounted at the rate of four percent (4%) per annum to the then present value, and Landlord shall, after received payment of the same from Tenant, be obligated to turn over to Tenant any actual net reletting proceeds (net of all expenses incurred by Landlord in such reletting) thereafter received during the remainder of the Term, up to the amount so received from Tenant pursuant to this provision.
17.7.Removal of Personal Property. All property of Tenant removed from the Premises by Landlord pursuant to any provision of this Lease or applicable law may be handled, removed or stored by Landlord at the cost and expense of Tenant, and Landlord shall not be responsible in any event for the value, preservation or safekeeping thereof. Tenant shall pay Landlord for all expenses incurred by Landlord with respect to such removal and storage so long as the same is in Landlord’s possession or under Landlord’s control. All such property not removed from the Premises or retaken from storage by Tenant within thirty (30) days after the end of the Term, however terminated, at Landlord’s option, shall be conclusively deemed to have been conveyed by Tenant to Landlord as by bill of sale without further payment or credit by Landlord to Tenant.
17.8.Landlord’s Right to Cure. In addition and without prejudice to any other right or remedy of Landlord, if a Default shall occur, Landlord may cure the same at the expense of Tenant (i) immediately and without notice in the case (A) of emergency, (B) where such Default unreasonably interferes with any other tenant in the Building, or (C) where such Default will result in the violation of any applicable law or the cancellation of any insurance policy maintained by Landlord and (ii) in any other case if such Default continues for 10 days from the receipt by Tenant of notice of such Default from Landlord. All reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in curing such Default, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall be reimbursable by Tenant as Rent hereunder upon demand, together with interest thereon, from the date such costs were incurred by Landlord, at the rate specified in Section 30.8 below.
17.9.Attorneys’ Fees. In the event that either Landlord or Tenant should bring suit (or arbitration if elected by Tenant with respect to Section 9(d) of the Workletter) for the possession of the Premises, for the recovery of any sum due under this Lease, or because of the breach of any provision of this Lease or for any other relief against the other, then all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by the prevailing party therein shall be paid by the other party, which obligation on the part of the other party shall be deemed to have accrued on the date of the commencement of such action and shall be enforceable whether or not the action is prosecuted to judgment.
17.10.Assumption or Rejection in Bankruptcy. If Tenant is adjudged bankrupt, or a trustee in bankruptcy is appointed for Tenant, Landlord and Tenant, to the extent permitted by law, agree to request that the trustee in bankruptcy determine within sixty (60) days thereafter whether to assume or to reject this Lease.
17.11.Intentionally Omitted.
- 41 -
17.12.Waiver of Right of Redemption; Mitigation. Tenant hereby waives all right of redemption to which Tenant or any person under Tenant may be entitled by any law now or hereafter in force. In addition, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts in order to mitigate its damages following any Default by Tenant under this Lease; provided, however, nothing shall require Landlord to attempt to re-lease the Premises unless and until Landlord obtains possession of the Premises.
ARTICLE 18
SUBORDINATION
SUBORDINATION
18.1.Subordination. Subject to Tenant first obtaining a commercially reasonable subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement, this Lease shall be subordinate to any deed of trust, mortgage, or other security instrument (each a “Mortgage”), or any ground lease, master lease, or primary lease (each, a “Prime Lease”), that now or hereafter covers all or any part of the Premises (the mortgagee under any such Mortgage, beneficiary under any such deed of trust, or the lessor under any such Prime Lease is referred to herein as a “Landlord’s Mortgagee”).

Except as otherwise set forth in any SNDA among Tenant, Landlord and Landlord’s Mortgagee, it is further agreed that if any Mortgage is foreclosed, (i) the holder of the Mortgage or its grantees, or purchaser at any foreclosure sale (or grantee in a deed in lieu of foreclosure), as the case may be, shall not be (x) liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including Landlord) except for acts, omissions, obligations, or payments of a continuing nature, provided that Mortgagee’s obligation to cure such default shall be limited solely to performance as required pursuant to the terms of the Lease, and so long as Tenant (i) notifies Mortgagee of such continuing default, and (ii) provides Mortgagee with a reasonable opportunity to cure such continuing default, (y) subject to any offsets or counterclaims which Tenant may have against a prior landlord (including Landlord), or (z) bound by any prepayment of Base Rent or Rent Adjustments which Tenant may have made in excess of the amounts then due for the next succeeding month, (ii) the liability of the mortgagee or trustee hereunder or purchaser at such foreclosure sale or the liability of a
- 42 -
subsequent owner designated as Landlord under this Lease shall exist only so long as such trustee, mortgagee, purchaser or owner is the owner of the Building or Land and such liability shall not continue or survive after further transfer of ownership; and (iii) upon request of the mortgagee or trustee, if the Mortgage is foreclosed, Tenant will attorn, as Tenant under this Lease, to the purchaser at any foreclosure sale under any Mortgage, such purchaser shall recognize Tenant as tenant under this Lease and not disturb Tenant’s tenancy hereunder, and Tenant will execute such commercially reasonable instruments as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence such attornment.
18.3.Intentionally Omitted.
18.4.Short Form Lease. Should any Landlord’s Mortgagee or any prospective mortgagee require execution of a short form of lease for recording (containing the names of the parties, a description of the Premises, and the Term of this Lease) or a certification from Tenant concerning this Lease in such form as may be required by said Landlord’s Mortgagee or said prospective mortgagee, Tenant agrees to execute promptly such short form of lease or certificate and deliver the same to Landlord within ten (10) days following the request therefor, so long as such short form of Lease or certificate is commercially reasonable and does not purport to change any of the terms and conditions of this Lease.

Tenant further agrees that if Landlord has failed to cure such default within twenty (20) days after such notice to Landlord (or if such default cannot be cured or corrected within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary if Landlord has commenced cure or correction within such twenty (20) days and is pursuing diligently the remedies or steps necessary to cure or correct such default), then the Landlord’s Mortgagee shall have an additional thirty (30) days within which to cure or correct such default (or if such default cannot be cured or corrected within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary if such Landlord’s Mortgagee has commenced cure or correction within such thirty (30) days and is pursuing diligently the remedies or steps necessary to cure or correct such default, including the time necessary to obtain possession if possession is necessary to cure or correct such default).

ARTICLE 21
SUBROGATION AND INSURANCE
SUBROGATION AND INSURANCE
21.1.Waiver of Subrogation. Landlord and Tenant agree to have all fire and extended coverage and other property damage insurance and other insurance as applicable which may be carried by either of them endorsed with a clause providing that any release from liability of or waiver of claim for recovery from the other party entered into in writing by the insured thereunder prior to any loss or damage shall not affect the validity of such policy or the right of the insured to recover thereunder, and providing further that the insurer waives all rights of subrogation which such insurer might have against the other party.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, any release or any waiver of claims shall not be operative, nor shall the foregoing endorsements be required, in any case where the effect of such release or waiver is to invalidate insurance coverage or to invalidate the right of the insured to recover thereunder or to increase the cost thereof (provided that in the case of increased cost, the other party shall have the right, within ten (10) days following written notice thereof, to pay such increased cost and thereby keep such release or waiver in full force and effect).
21.2.Tenant’s Insurance. Tenant shall carry insurance during the entire Term hereof with terms, coverages and companies (which shall be licensed to do business in the state in which the Building is located and shall be rated no lower than A- XV by A.M.

Landlord’s written approval of such actions to be taken with respect to the Premises or any adjacent property shall first be obtained. For the avoidance of doubt, Tenant may use and store in the Premises ordinary office cleaning supplies of such types and in such amounts that are not in violation of Environmental Laws.

ARTICLE 27
SECURITY DEPOSIT
SECURITY DEPOSIT
27.1.Security Deposit. Tenant has deposited with Landlord the sum set forth in the Schedule as the security deposit for the full and faithful performance of every provision of this Lease to be performed by Tenant. If Tenant is in Default with respect to any provision of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the provisions relating to the payment of Rent, Landlord may use, apply or retain all or any part of the security deposit for the payment of any Rent and any other sum with respect to which Tenant is in Default, or for the payment of any other amount which Landlord may spend or become obligated to spend by reason of Tenant’s Default. If any portion of the security deposit is to be used or applied, Tenant, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, shall deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the security deposit to its original amount and Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to keep the security deposit separate from its general funds and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on any security deposit. Provided no default has occurred that has not been cured by Tenant, then the security deposit or any balance thereof remaining after application by Landlord as permitted under this Lease shall be returned to Tenant (or at Landlord’s option to the last assignee of Tenant’s interest) within sixty (60) days after the expiration of the Term and Tenant’s vacation of the Premises.
27.2.Letter of Credit. As an alternative to the cash security deposit described above, Tenant at its election may deposit with Landlord the Letter of Credit (as hereinafter defined). Concurrent with Tenant’s execution and delivery of this Lease, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 27.2, Tenant may, at its option as provided in the foregoing sentence, as security for the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, cause to be delivered via overnight delivery or other verifiable means to Landlord directly from the issuer thereof an unconditional, standby and irrevocable letter of credit (such letter of credit and any amendment or replacement thereof is defined herein as the “Letter of Credit”) in favor of Landlord and its successors and assigns, issued by a financial institution reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, in an amount equal to the then-applicable amount of the security deposit. If and as Tenant elects to deliver the Letter of Credit to Landlord, each initial Letter of Credit hereunder shall expire no earlier than the day which is twelve (12) months after the Commencement Date and any subsequent or replacement Letter of Credit hereunder shall expire no earlier than the day which is twelve (12) months from the expiration of the then outstanding and expiring Letter of Credit. If and when the security deposit is in the form of a Letter of Credit, Tenant shall ensure that, at all times during the Term, as extended, if applicable, after the delivery to Landlord of the initial Letter of Credit and for thirty (30) days after expiration of the Term, as extended, if applicable, an unexpired Letter of Credit shall be in the possession of Landlord. Accordingly, Tenant shall cause to be delivered to Landlord as described herein during the Term, as extended, if applicable, not later than thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the then outstanding and expiring Letter of Credit, a replacement Letter of Credit. Failure by Tenant to so cause to be delivered to Landlord as described herein any replacement Letter of Credit shall entitle Landlord to draw on the then outstanding Letter of Credit and retain the entire proceeds thereof as part of
- 49 -
the Letter of Credit under this Lease unless and until Tenant provides Landlord with the required replacement Letter of Credit. The Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. The form of the Letter of Credit attached hereto as Exhibit J is satisfactory to Landlord. If the form of Letter of Credit normally issued by Tenant’s financial institution is different than the form of Letter of Credit attached hereto as Exhibit J, Landlord’s approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that such letter of credit is consistent with the terms stated in this Section. Tenant shall bear all costs and expenses related to maintaining the Letter of Credit, including the fees of the financial institution that issues the Letter of Credit and any fees required to transfer the Letter of Credit to any new owner of the Building. Upon the occurrence of a default by Tenant under this Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods as provided herein, Landlord may draw upon the Letter of Credit, in whole or in part, and use all or any part of the draw on the Letter of Credit for the payment of any Rent or for the payment of any amounts which Landlord may pay or become obligated to pay by reason of such default, or to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of such default. If the Letter of Credit is drawn upon, in whole or in part, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, restore the Letter of Credit to its original amount. Landlord shall not be required to keep the cash proceeds of any draw on the Letter of Credit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on such cash proceeds. In no event shall the cash proceeds of any draw on the Letter of Credit be considered an advance payment of Rent, and in no event shall Tenant be entitled to use such cash proceeds for the payment of Rent. The Letter of Credit (or any balance thereof as reduced by any draw thereunder) shall be returned to Tenant within sixty (60) days after the last to occur of the expiration of the Term, as extended, if applicable, and vacation of the Building by Tenant. Landlord shall have the right to transfer the Letter of Credit to any purchaser of the Building without charge or fee to Landlord. Upon such transfer, Tenant shall look solely to such purchaser for return of the Letter of Credit, and Landlord shall be relieved of any liability with respect to such items.
27.3.Transfer of Security Deposit. Tenant hereby agrees not to look to any mortgagee as mortgagee, mortgagee in possession, or successor in title to the Building for accountability for any security deposit required by Landlord hereunder, unless said sums have actually been received by said mortgagee as security for Tenant’s performance of this Lease. Landlord may deliver the funds deposited hereunder by Tenant to the purchaser of Landlord’s interest in the Building, in the event that such interest is sold, and thereupon Landlord and its managing agent shall be discharged from any further liability with respect to such security deposit.

TITLE AND COVENANT AGAINST LIENS

- 50 -
and content approved by Landlord in writing, provided if the bond effectively causes the lien to be released against the real estate, then it shall be deemed approved), or pay or otherwise remove the same within thirty (30) days after Tenant receives notice of the same. Tenant has no authority or power to cause or permit any lien or encumbrance of any kind whatsoever, whether created by act of Tenant, operation of law or otherwise, to attach to or be placed upon the Premises, the Building or the Project, and any and all liens and encumbrances created by Tenant shall attach only to Tenant’s interest in the Premises. If any such liens so attach and Tenant fails to bond over (in form and content approved by Landlord in writing, provided if the bond effectively causes the lien to be released against the real estate, then it shall be deemed approved), pay or otherwise remove the same within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of the same, Landlord, at its election, may pay and satisfy the same and in such event the sums so paid by Landlord, with interest from the date of Landlord’s payment thereof at the rate set forth in Section 30.8 for amounts owed to Landlord by Tenant, shall be deemed to be additional Rent due and payable by Tenant at once without notice or demand. All materialmen, contractors, artisans, mechanics, laborers, and any other persons now or hereafter contracting with Tenant or any contractor or subcontractor of Tenant for the furnishing of any labor services, materials, supplies, or equipment with respect to any portion of the Premises, at any time from the date hereof until the end of the Term, are hereby charged with notice that they look exclusively to Tenant to obtain payment for same.

(a) Tenant shall be responsible for all Title III compliance and costs in connection with the Premises (other than elevator lobbies located on 5th and 6th floors of the Building which are Landlord’s responsibility for any nonconformance with elevator button height or otherwise), including structural work, if any, and including any leasehold improvements or other work to be performed in the Premises under or in connection with this Lease, and (b) Landlord shall perform, and Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of, any so-called Title III “path of travel” requirements triggered by any construction activities or alterations in the Premises. Except as set forth above with respect to Landlord’s Title III obligations, Tenant shall be solely responsible for all other requirements under the ADA relating to Tenant or any affiliates or persons or entities related to Tenant (collectively, “Affiliates”), operations of Tenant or Affiliates, or the Premises, including, without limitation, requirements under Title I of the ADA pertaining to Tenant’s employees.

OPTIONS TO EXTEND
OPTIONS TO EXTEND
35.1.Options to Extend. Provided that Tenant is not then in Default under this Lease, subject to applicable notice and cure rights, and provided further that (i) this Lease shall not have theretofore been assigned to any party other than a Permitted Assignee, and (ii) either (a) Tenant has not sublet the entire 4th Floor portion of the Premises to a party that is not a Permitted Transferee, or (b) Tenant has not sublet more than twenty percent (20%) of the rentable square feet of the 5th and 6th Floor portion of the Premises to any party that is not a Permitted Transferee, in each case at the time of electing the Option to Extend and at the time of the commencement of the applicable Optional Extension Term, Tenant shall have the right, at
- 57 -
Tenant’s option, to extend the Term of this Lease for two (2) additional periods of either five (5) years or ten (10) years in each case as elected by Tenant at the time it exercises and Option to Extend (each an “Optional Extension Term”). The options to extend (each, an “Option to Extend”) shall be exercised by Tenant giving written notice of the exercise thereof to Landlord at least nine (9) months before the expiration of the initial Term as to the first Option to Extend and at least nine (9) months before the expiration of the first Option to Extend as to the second Option to Extend. Each Optional Extension Term shall be upon the same terms, covenants, and conditions as set forth in this Lease with respect to the initial Term as to the first Option to Extend want with respect to the first Option to Extend as to the second Option to Extend, except that (i) Landlord shall have no obligation whatsoever to alter, improve or remodel the Premises, and (ii) the Annual Base Rent and additional Rent payable during the Optional Extension Term, as applicable, shall equal the then-prevailing Fair Market Rental Rate for the Premises, as defined below. At any time within twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the initial Term as to the first Option to Extend or within twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the first Option to Extend as to the second Option to Extend, Tenant may request in writing that Landlord provide Tenant with its reasonable determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Premises which shall apply during the Optional Extension Term, as applicable, and Landlord shall furnish same in writing to Tenant within thirty (30) days after such request. Tenant shall have fifteen (15) days thereafter to object to such determination by written notice to Landlord.
35.2.Fair Market Rental Rate. For purposes of this Article 35, the term “Fair Market Rental Rate” shall mean the fair rental, as of the date for which such Fair Market Rental Rate is being calculated, per annum per rentable square foot for comparable space for a comparable term, by reference to comparable space with a comparable use in the Building, and in other buildings comparable to the Building in quality and location (but excluding those leases where the tenant has an equity interest in the Building), where the landlord has had a reasonable time to locate a tenant who rents with the knowledge of the uses to which the Premises can be adapted, and neither the landlord nor the prospective tenant is under any compulsion to rent. The Fair Market Rental Rate shall take into account and reflect the rental rates for new tenancies of similar quality properties and size.
35.3.Arbitration. In the event Tenant fails to timely object to Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate as provided above, such determination shall be deemed conclusive and binding upon the parties for the purposes of the Option to Extend, as applicable, set forth herein. If Tenant timely objects to Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate in any instance, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree on the Fair Market Rental Rate. If they fail, after good faith efforts, to agree upon the Fair Market Rental Rate within thirty (30) days following the date Landlord receives Tenant’s notice of its exercise of the Option to Extend, as applicable, as provided above (the “Settlement Period”), the Fair Market Rental Rate applicable during the Optional Extension Term, as applicable, shall be determined by arbitration as follows:
(i)If Landlord and Tenant fail to agree upon the Fair Market Rental Rate during the Settlement Period, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon an arbitrator to determine the Fair Market Rental Rate applicable during the Optional Extension Term, as applicable. If they fail, after good faith efforts, to agree upon an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after expiration of the Settlement Period (the “Negotiation Period”), then Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint a qualified and impartial person as arbitrator (a qualified person being one who has had at least ten (10) years of experience in a profession which directly relates to the leasing of
- 58 -
Class A office space in the downtown Denver, Colorado submarket) within fifteen (15) days after the expiration of the Negotiation Period (the “Selection Period”). The identity and address of each such appointee shall be designated in writing by each party to the other. If either party fails to appoint an arbitrator on or before the expiration of the Selection Period, then the arbitrator appointed by the party not in default hereunder may appoint a qualified and impartial person who has had at least ten (10) years of experience in a profession which directly relates to the leasing of Class A office space in the downtown Denver, Colorado submarket as the second arbitrator and shall notify the other party of the identity and address of such appointee. If the two arbitrators so appointed (the “Related Arbitrators”) fail to agree upon the Fair Market Rental Rate within thirty (30) days after submission of the matter to them, they shall, within ten (10) days after the expiration of said thirty (30) day period, appoint a third arbitrator who has no previous or existing relationship with Landlord or Tenant and who also has had at least ten (10) years of experience in a profession which directly relates to the leasing of Class A office space in the downtown Denver, Colorado submarket (the “Independent Arbitrator,” and together with the Related Arbitrators, the “Arbitrators”). In the case of the failure of the two initial arbitrators to agree upon the identity of an Independent Arbitrator, such Independent Arbitrator shall be appointed by the American Arbitration Association, or its successor, from its qualified panel of arbitrators, and shall be a person having no previous or existing relationship with Landlord or Tenant and having at least ten (10) years of experience in a profession which directly relates to the leasing of Class A office space in the downtown Denver, Colorado submarket.
(ii)The parties shall submit all facts, including expert opinions, to the Related Arbitrators and the Independent Arbitrator, if one has been appointed. The Related Arbitrators and Independent Arbitrator, after having been duly sworn to perform his or their duties with impartiality and dispatch, shall proceed to determine the Fair Market Rental Rate with all reasonable dispatch and in any event shall render their decision within thirty (30) days after the submission of the matter to the Related Arbitrators, except in any case in which the Related Arbitrators fail to agree and an Independent Arbitrator is appointed, in which case the Arbitrators shall render their decision not later than thirty (30) days after the appointment of the Independent Arbitrator. Such decision shall be in writing and in duplicate, with one counterpart thereof delivered to Landlord and one counterpart thereof delivered to Tenant. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, or its successor, and applicable Colorado law. The decision of a majority of the Arbitrators appointed pursuant to the foregoing shall be binding, final and conclusive on the parties. The arbitration decision shall be enforceable by either party in any court of law.
- 59 -
(iii)If a majority of the duly appointed Arbitrators believes or believe that expert advice would materially assist him, her or them in the resolution of the matter in dispute, or if either Landlord or Tenant desires to provide expert advice, he or they may retain one or more qualified persons to provide such expert advice. The fees of the Arbitrators and the expenses incident to the proceedings shall be borne equally between Landlord and Tenant. The fees of respective counsel engaged by the parties, and the fees of expert witnesses and other witnesses called for by the parties, shall be paid by the respective party engaging such counsel or calling or engaging such witnesses.
(iv)Intentionally omitted.
(v)If Tenant becomes obligated to pay Rent, or adjustments thereto, if any, with respect to any space or any period prior to the foregoing determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate for such space or period, Tenant shall commence paying Base Rent and additional Rent, if any, utilizing the Fair Market Rental Rate specified by Landlord in its notice of the Fair Market Rental Rate for such space or period. Following determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate in accordance with the foregoing, Landlord and Tenant, by a cash payment within thirty (30) days after the date of such determination, shall adjust between themselves the difference, if any, between the Rent and adjustments thereto, if any, paid by Tenant pursuant to the foregoing sentence and the Rent and adjustments thereto, if any, actually owed by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease for the period prior to such determination.
35.4.Amendment. Should the Term be extended hereunder, the parties shall memorialize the extension by executing a commercially reasonable amendment modifying the Lease promptly thereafter, which agreement shall set forth the Annual Base Rent and additional Rent and the other economic terms and provisions in effect during the Optional Extension Term. These Options to Extend are personal to Ibotta, Inc. and any Permitted Assignee.
ARTICLE 36
RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER
RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER
Commencing as of the Commencement Date, Tenant shall have a continuing right of first offer to lease certain space in the Building subject to the terms and conditions set forth below:
(a)“ROFO Space” shall mean vacant and available space in the Building.
(b)Provided that, (i) no Default by Tenant beyond any applicable notice and cure period is then in existence; (ii) Tenant and/or any Permitted Transferee is occupying the Premises; and (iii) the Lease has not been assigned nor have the Premises been sublet other than to a Permitted Transferee in each case; and (iv) there are at least sixty (60) months remaining in the Term, unless Tenant extends the Term as provided in this Lease at the same time Tenant delivers Tenant’s Acceptance Notice (as hereinafter defined), if the ROFO Space becomes available for lease after the date of this Lease to a new tenant and is not subject to: (i) the rights of any existing tenant of the Building as such rights exist on the Execution Date hereof; and
- 60 -
(ii) the rights of any tenant leasing such space subsequent to the date of this Lease if Tenant was offered such space pursuant to this Article 36 and declined to exercise its right of first offer with respect to such space, including the election of the existing tenant to continue in occupancy thereof, Tenant shall have the continuing right to lease the ROFO Space pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in Landlord’s First Offer Notice (as defined below).
(c)Such offer of ROFO Space shall be given by Landlord to Tenant in a written notice (the “First Offer Notice”), which First Offer Notice shall designate the space being offered and specify the terms and conditions upon which Landlord intends to lease the ROFO Space, as determined by Landlord; such terms being no less favorable to Tenant as those intended to be offered to third parties. Tenant may accept the offer set forth in Landlord’s First Offer Notice by delivering to Landlord an unconditional acceptance thereof, in writing, within ten (10) business days after Landlord’s delivery of the First Offer Notice to Tenant (“Tenant’s Acceptance Notice”). Time shall be of the essence with respect to Tenant’s Acceptance Notice. Once Tenant delivers Tenant’s Acceptance Notice to Landlord, it cannot be modified or withdrawn. Tenant must lease the ROFO Space on all of the terms and conditions set forth in the First Offer Notice if Tenant elects to lease the ROFO Space, and Tenant must accept all and not a portion of the ROFO Space offered by Landlord in the First Offer Notice if Tenant desires to accept any of such ROFO Space. If Tenant does not accept (or fails to timely accept within such ten (10) business day period) an offer made by Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Section with respect to the ROFO Space designated in the First Offer Notice, then Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its right of first offer with respect to the ROFO Space that was the subject of the First Offer Notice and Landlord shall be free to lease such ROFO Space to any third party on substantially the terms set forth in the First Offer Notice, provided, however, if the rent offered shall decrease by more than 10% from that of the First Offer Notice, then Landlord must once again offer the ROFO Space to Tenant upon such updated economic terms.
(d)If Tenant timely delivers Tenant’s Acceptance Notice, within twenty (20) days of Tenant’s Acceptance Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an amendment to this Lease, prepared by Landlord and reasonably approved by Tenant, adding the ROFO Space to the Premises and setting forth the terms of Tenant’s lease of the ROFO Space as set forth in Landlord’s First Offer Notice. Except as set forth in Landlord’s First Offer Notice, Tenant’s lease of the ROFO Space shall be under the same terms and conditions pertaining to Tenant’s lease of the Premises under the Lease, excluding any concessions not expressly set forth in Landlord’s First Offer Notice, including, but not limited to, free rent and tenant improvements, if any.
(e)Tenant acknowledges and agrees that this right of first offer is personal to Ibotta, Inc. and any Permitted Assignee, and shall not inure to the benefit of any other party.
(f)Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant in the event that Landlord does not deliver possession of all or part of the ROFO Space to Tenant on account of a holding over by any prior tenant of such ROFO Space in violation of the terms of such tenant’s lease, provided that Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to obtain possession of the ROFO Space from such other tenant(s) (and Tenant hereby agrees to join in any action brought for possession of such ROFO Space upon Landlord’s request and at Landlord’s sole cost and expense) and the occupancy date of the ROFO Space (the “Right of First Offer Occupancy Date”) shall not be deemed to occur until Landlord shall actually deliver the right of possession of such ROFO Space to Tenant.
(g)Commencing on the Right of First Offer Occupancy Date, the ROFO Space shall become part of the Premises hereunder, and the Base Rent and additional Rent for
- 61 -
the Premises, including such ROFO Space, shall be adjusted as of the Right of First Offer Occupancy Date. The term for the ROFO Space shall be coterminous with the expiration of the Term, as extended. If the Right of First Offer Occupancy Date is other than on the first day of a month, the monthly installment of Base Rent and additional Rent for the first month shall be appropriately adjusted.
ARTICLE 37
RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
37.1.Commencing on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall have a continuing right of first refusal to add to the Premises the Offered Space as hereinafter defined, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. “Offered Space” shall mean the adjacent space on the 3rd and 4th floor which is vacant and available space in the Building, provided that such space shall not be deemed to be “available” if it is subject to the rights of an existing tenant of the Building or if an existing tenant has elected to continue in occupancy thereof.
37.2.If Landlord intends to enter into a lease (the “Proposed Lease”) for all or a portion of the Offered Space with anyone (the “Proposed Tenant”) other than an existing tenant, then Landlord shall, after it has received a bona fide offer from the Proposed Tenant, offer to Tenant the right to lease such Offered Space upon the terms and conditions of the Proposed Lease to the Proposed Tenant for the Offered Space, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter provided. Tenant may only exercise the right of first refusal described herein if as of the date that Tenant elects to exercise such right pursuant to Tenant’s Notice (as hereinafter defined) and as of the commencement date of the term of the lease of the Offered Space each of the following conditions are satisfied ( the “ROFR Exercise Conditions”) (i) no Default beyond any applicable notice and cure period is then in existence; (ii) Tenant and/or any Permitted Transferee is occupying the Premises; (iii) the Lease has not been assigned nor have the Premises been sublet other than to a Permitted Transferee in each case; and (iv) there are at least sixty (60) months remaining in the Term (unless Tenant extends the Term for the Premises as hereinafter provided). If any of the ROFR Exercise Conditions are not satisfied, Tenant’s exercise of this right of first refusal shall, at Landlord’s sole election, be null and void. And tenant shall be deemed to have waived its rights to the applicable Offered Space.
37.3.Such offer shall be made by Landlord to Tenant in a written notice (the “First Refusal Notice”) which offer shall designate the space being offered and shall specify the terms for such Offered Space which shall be the same as those offered in the Proposed Lease to the Proposed Tenant. Tenant may accept the offer set forth in the First Refusal Notice by delivering to Landlord an unconditional acceptance in writing (“Tenant’s Notice”) of such offer within fifteen (15) days after delivery by Landlord of the First Refusal Notice to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant exercises the right of first refusal to lease the Offered Space by delivering a timely Tenant’s Notice, (i) and the term of the lease for the Offered Space would expire prior to the expiration of the Term, then Tenant may request in Tenant’s Notice that certain of the terms of the Proposed Lease be adjusted to permit the proposed lease term thereof to be coterminous with the Lease Term of the Premises, and (ii) if the Term of this Lease would expire prior to the expiration of the Proposed Lease for the Offered Space Landlord shall so specify in First Refusal Notice and state, in bold, therein that “Tenant, by giving Tenant’s Notice shall be deemed to have agreed that the Term of this Lease for the Premises shall automatically be deemed extended so that it is coterminous with the lease of the Offered Space, with the extension to be on all of the terms set forth in this Lease, except that the Base Rent for the Premises for the period between the end of the existing Term and the end of the term for the Offered Space shall escalate in the same manner and by the same
- 62 -
percentage as the base rent for the Offered Space escalates pursuant to the First Refusal notice”. Upon receipt of such request from Tenant to adjust the Lease Term of the Offered Space to be coterminous, Landlord shall provide Tenant with an offer of the adjusted terms of the Proposed Lease necessary to provide to Landlord the same economic return as the Proposed Lease. Such offer of the adjusted terms shall be made by Landlord to Tenant in a written notice (“Landlord’s Adjusted Notice”). Tenant may accept the offer set forth in the Adjusted Notice by delivering to Landlord an unconditional acceptance in writing (“Tenant’s Adjusted Notice”) of such offer within fifteen (15) days after delivery from Landlord to Tenant of Landlord’s Adjusted Notice. Time shall be of the essence with respect to the giving of Tenant’s Notice and Tenant’s Adjusted Notice, as the case may be. If Tenant does not accept (or fails to timely accept) an offer made by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this Section with respect to the Offered Space designated in the First Refusal Notice, or Landlord’s Adjusted Notice, as the case may be, or Tenant , after a timely exercise does not timely enter into the lease amendment described in section 37.4, Landlord shall be under no further obligation with respect to such space by reason of this Section. In order to send the First Refusal Notice, Landlord does not need to have negotiated a complete lease with the Proposed Tenant but may merely have agreed upon the material economic terms for the Proposed Lease, and Tenant must make its decision with respect to the Offered Space as long as it has received a description of such material economic terms.
37.4.Tenant must accept all of the Offered Space offered by Landlord at any one time in a First Refusal Notice if Tenant desires to accept any of such Offered Space and may not exercise its right with respect to only a portion of such space. In connection with the acceptance of the Offered Space by Tenant for lease, within twenty (20) days of Tenant’s Notice, or Tenant’s Adjusted Notice, as the case may be, Landlord and Tenant shall execute a lease amendment prepared by Landlord and reasonably approved by Tenant and reflecting the addition of the Offered Space to the then existing Premises pursuant to the terms and provisions described in the First Refusal Notice or Landlord’s Adjusted Notice, as the case may be, with the other terms of this Lease remaining unchanged, except as provided above with respect to the extension of the Term of the Lease if the term for the Offered Space would expire after the Term of this Lease and the escalations of Base Rent during such extension, which will be set forth in the lease amendment. If Tenant does not timely exercise the right of first offer and Landlord does not enter into a lease or amendment for such Offered Space as described above with a third party, if Landlord thereafter receives another offer to lease the Offered Space, Landlord shall follow the process described above as this right of Tenant is a continuing right of first refusal.
37.5.This right of first refusal is personal to Ibotta, Inc. and any Permitted Assignee.
ARTICLE 38
SIGNAGE
SIGNAGE
Except as expressly set forth below, Landlord reserves unto itself the exclusive right to erect any signage on the roof or exterior of the Building. Landlord shall, at Landlord’s sole cost, (i) install a Building standard sign identifying Tenant at the entrance to the Premises and install Building-standard directional signage in the elevator lobby identifying the location of the Premises in each case on any multi-tenant floor that includes a portion of the Premises, (ii) install Tenant’s name in the top position on the Building signage plaque (with at least as many rows allocated to Tenant as any other tenant of the Building as applicable) at the entry on the 16th Steet side of the Building, which plaque is depicted on Exhibit G attached hereto; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit or restrict Landlord from allowing other tenants to have sign
- 63 -
panels on such plaque that is equal in size (based on square footage of the applicable sign panel) or smaller than Tenant’s sign panel on such plaque and (iii) if the lobby in the Building contains tenants’ signage, identify Tenant based on Tenant’s Proportionate Share with Building standard main lobby signage, which may be an electronic directory sign or such other form of signage (as Landlord may elect, consistent with a first-class office building) established by Landlord for the Building in the same manner as the other occupants thereof. Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall be permitted to install suite entry signage on any floor where Tenant is the only Tenant on such floor without needing Landlord’s approval. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 38, Tenant shall not, without Landlord’s prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, install, fix or use any other signs or any notice, picture, placard or poster, or any advertising or identifying media which is visible from the exterior of the Premises. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right and Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant, at no cost or expense to Landlord, to obtain the permits and other approvals necessary and required for Tenant to install exterior “eyebrow” Building signage as shown on Exhibit G attached hereto, which signage may, at Tenant’s election, be illuminated and may be up to the maximum size permitted by applicable code. In connection therewith, Landlord will provide access to reasonably convenient electrical connections and Tenant shall pay for the cost of all electricity consumed by Tenant’s exterior signage. The exact size, type and location of the exterior signage (to the extent either differing or not addressed in Exhibit G) shall be subject to Tenant’s and Landlord’s mutual written agreement and reasonable approval and shall be in conformance with and subject to applicable laws, including, without limitation, compliance with the LDDR design district which has jurisdiction over such exterior signage in Lodo, and Landlord shall, at no cost or expense to Landlord, use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Tenant in obtaining all required approvals for such exterior signage, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant shall be responsible for the prompt removal of its exterior Building signage at the expiration of the Term or any extensions thereof or earlier termination of this Lease and to restore such effected area to the condition which existed prior to such installation, reasonable wear and tear excepted.
ARTICLE 39
CONTRACTION RIGHT
CONTRACTION RIGHT
39.1.Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease respect to the portion of the Premises which constitutes space on the fourth (4th) floor (28,842 rentable square feet) then being leased by Tenant hereunder (the “Excluded Premises”) by notice (the “Partial Exclusion Notice”) to Landlord in writing given no later than the last day of the seventy-second (72nd) full month of the Term hereunder (time being of the essence) (the “Partial Exclusion Notice Expiration Date”).
39.2.If Tenant so elects to exercise its contraction right as provided in Section 39.1 above, then the lease of the Excluded Premises shall terminate on the last day of the eighty-fourth (84th) full month of the Term (the “Exclusion Date”) as though the lease had expired by lapse of time on the Exclusion Date with respect to the Excluded Premises. From and after the Exclusion Date, the remainder of the Premises (the “Remainder Leased Premises”), after exclusion of such Excluded Premises, shall be deemed to be the Premises under this Lease. If Tenant has exercised said contraction option, within thirty (30) days after request by either
- 64 -
party hereto, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into a written amendment to this Lease prepared by Landlord and approved by Tenant, confirming the terms, conditions and provisions applicable to the Excluded Premises and the Remainder Leased Premises as determined in accordance herewith.
39.3.If Tenant exercises its contraction right under this Article 39, then Tenant shall vacate and deliver possession of the Excluded Premises to Landlord in the manner set forth in, and in the condition required by, the Lease for surrender of the Premises, on or before the Exclusion Date, which shall include, without limitation, removal of the internal staircase between floors 4 and 5 that is contemplated to be installed as part of Tenant’s Work and repairing the slab to the condition which existed prior to installation of the stairway. Any retention of possession by Tenant of all or part of the Excluded Premises after the Exclusion Date shall be deemed a holdover under Article 9 of this Lease without consent of Landlord, and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of said Article 9 with respect to such holdover.
39.4.If Tenant exercises its contraction right under this Article 39, then effective as of the Exclusion Date, Base Rent provided to be paid under the lease for the Premises shall be reduced for the remainder of the Term based on the Base Rent applicable to the Excluded Premises as set forth in this Lease. Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Expenses, Taxes and Utility Expenses for the calendar year which includes the Exclusion Date shall be calculated separately for the Excluded Premises and the Remainder Leased Premises as follows:
(a)Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Expenses, Taxes and Utility Expenses attributable to the Excluded Premises shall be prorated pursuant to Article 4 of this Lease for the calendar year which includes the Exclusion Date as though this Lease will terminate on the Exclusion Date, and the number of days in the Term shall be deemed to be the number of days in the period commencing on January 1 of the calendar year which includes the Exclusion Date and ending on the Exclusion Date. Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Expenses, Taxes and Utility Expenses attributable to the Excluded Premises for said calendar year shall be computed pursuant to Tenant’s Proportionate Share, using as the numerator the rentable area of the Excluded Premises.
(b)Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Expenses, Taxes and Utility Expenses with respect to the Remainder Leased Premises for such calendar year and for the remainder of the Term thereafter shall be computed pursuant to the definition of Tenant’s Proportionate Share, using as the numerator described therein the total rentable area of the Remainder Leased Premises.
39.5.In the event Tenant exercises its option to contract as provided in this Article 39, then, notwithstanding anything contained in this Article 39 to the contrary, Tenant shall pay Landlord the “Excluded Premises Termination Fee” (as hereinafter defined) with respect to the Excluded Premises at the same time as Tenant delivers its written termination notice under this Article 39, which payment shall be an express condition of the effectiveness of Tenant’s early termination election hereunder. For purposes hereof, the term “Excluded Premises Termination Fee” shall mean an amount, calculated with respect to the Excluded Premises, equal to the “Unamortized Excluded Premises Costs” (as hereinafter defined), calculated as of the Exclusion Date. For purposes hereof, the term “Unamortized Excluded Premises Costs” for the Excluded Premises shall mean an amount equal to the unamortized portion of (a) Landlord’s Contribution, and (b) the commissions and fees paid by Landlord to the Brokers, such amortization to be made evenly over the Term at an annual interest rate of eight percent (8%). At any time and from time to time during the Term, Tenant may in a written notice to Landlord request that Landlord deliver to Tenant a “Certified Cost Statement” (as hereinafter defined)
- 65 -
with respect to the Excluded Premises Termination Fee. Landlord shall provide such Certified Cost Statement to Tenant within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of such request. As used herein, a “Certified Cost Statement” is a statement certified by Landlord to be true and correct setting forth the total Excluded Premises Termination Fee (or the Termination Fee or other similar Fee with respect to the exercise by Tenant of options hereunder) as reasonably determined by Landlord in connection with this Section, including the amount of each specific component of such Fee and amortization schedules, to the extent applicable thereto. Provided that Tenant requests a then-current Certified Cost Statement by no later than sixty (60) days prior to the last day of the seventy-second (72nd) full month of the Term, then in the event that Landlord fails to deliver a Certified Cost Statement to Tenant by no later than thirty (30) days prior to the last date of the eighty-fourth (84th) full month of Term, then the last date on which Tenant may exercise its termination right set forth herein shall be extended until thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of the Certified Cost Statement.
39.6.Any notice to contract shall be irrevocable once given.

WORKLETTER
THIS WORKLETTER is executed simultaneously with that certain Lease between TR 16 MARKET SQUARE CORP., a Delaware corporation, as Landlord, and IBOTTA, INC., a Delaware corporation, as Tenant, relating to certain premises (the “Premises”) in the building located at 16 Market Square, Denver, Colorado, which Premises are more fully identified in the Lease. Capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined in this Workletter, shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Lease.
For and in consideration of the agreement to lease the Premises and the mutual covenants contained herein and in the Lease, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows:
1. Landlord’s Work.
Subject to extension as a result of a force majeure event, long lead items and/or Tenant delays (of which Landlord gives written notice to Tenant within 10 business days after occurring), Landlord shall perform the following in a commercially reasonable, diligent manner: (i) bathroom renovation work on the 4th floor (which bathroom renovation work is reasonably complementary to the design and aesthetic attributes of the approved plan for restrooms renovations that Tenant carries out and completes on the 5th and 6th floors of the Building, a rendering of which bathroom renovation work is attached to this Workletter as Schedule 1), which shall be completed by the later to occur of: (i) September 1, 2025; and (ii) the date that Tenant opens for business in the Premises, (ii) elevator renovations to modernize the interior cabs of the elevators, which estimated completion date is December 31, 2025 (a rendering of the elevator renovations is attached to this Workletter as Schedule 2), (iii) the expansion of the fitness center as shown on Exhibit I attached to this Lease, which is estimated to occur on the latest to occur of: (a) September 1, 2025, (b) the date Tenant opens for Business in the Premises; and (c) 270 days after Landlord secures control of such space from the existing tenant (which control Landlord shall use commercially reasonable, diligent efforts to pursue), and (iv) lobby security upgrades (the “Lobby Security Upgrades”) which are estimated to be complete by the later to occur of: (i) September 1, 2025; and (ii) the date that Tenant opens for business in the Premises (a rendering of the lobby security upgrades currently contemplated is attached to this Workletter as Schedule 3)(collectively, “Landlord’s Work”). Except for the Monthly Lobby Security Expense (payable as Rent Adjustments under Article 4 of the Lease) and as provided hereinbelow with respect to the Lobby Security Upgrades, Landlord’s Work shall be at no cost to Tenant and may not be passed through to Tenant as an Expense or deducted from Landlord’s Contribution (as hereinafter defined). For purposes of the next sentence, Landlord and Tenant agree to assign an allocation of 25% to each of the categories of the work described in (i)-(iv) above If Landlord fails to deliver the required category of Landlord’s Work (i.e. (i), (ii) (iii) or (iv)) within ninety (90) days after the estimated dates set forth above, as applicable, subject to extension for force majeure event, long lead items and/or Tenant delays (of which Landlord gives written notice to Tenant within 10 business days after occurring), then, for each day of
D-2
such delay, Tenant shall receive a credit against Base Rent based upon the applicable percentage of the category not substantially complete until substantial completion has been achieved. For example, if Landlord is able to timely deliver only 2 of the 4 categories of the work and as a result the extended delivery date has been exceeded for those 2 undelivered categories, then Tenant shall receive a per diem credit equal to 50% of the applicable Base Rent until substantial completion of those 2 undelivered categories.
As of the Date of Execution, Landlord and Tenant have identified Kastle Systems as a potential vendor to perform the Lobby Security Upgrades and provide the accompanying technology services. Based on credible and reasonably comprehensive bids obtained by Landlord from Kastle Systems, Landlord and Tenant anticipate the cost of Lobby Security Upgrades will be approximately $96,000.00, which cost may increase based on unanticipated scope but not to more than $120,000.00 without the prior written agreement of Landlord and Tenant (the foregoing cost, the “Base Installation Cost”). The final pricing of the Lobby Security Upgrades will be shared with Tenant on an open-book and collaborative basis, and is subject to the mutual agreement by Landlord and Tenant. Landlord and Tenant shall share the Base Installation Cost 50/50.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may propose optional upgrades or changes, a different make and model, or alternative technology providers to Kastle Systems (the foregoing, “Tenant Options”), provided that any additional cost beyond the Base Installation Cost shall be presented to Tenant for Tenant’s review and approval, and if approved by Tenant, shall be borne 100% by Tenant. Any delay in delivery caused by Tenant’s Options shall be deemed Tenant delay. All Tenant Options shall be subject to the prior approval of Landlord, which may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
When the total cost of the Lobby Security Upgrades, any Tenant Options, and final specifications are all approved by Landlord and Tenant, the installation of the Lobby Security Upgrades shall be performed by Landlord. Tenant’s portion of the cost (being 50% of the Base Installation Cost and 100% of any Tenant Options) shall be deducted from the Landlord Contribution.
2. Tenant’s Work. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall perform or cause to be performed Tenant’s work (“Tenant’s Work”) in the Premises provided for in the Plans (as defined in Paragraph 3 hereof) to be submitted to and approved in writing by Landlord, which Tenant’s Work shall include all demolition work related to the Premises. Tenant’s Work shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike fashion, in accordance with the requirements set forth herein and in compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and other governmental requirements, including, without limitation, the ADA and ADAAG. Tenant shall commence the construction of Tenant’s Work promptly following completion of the preconstruction activities provided for in Paragraph 3 below and shall diligently proceed with all such construction. Tenant shall coordinate Tenant’s Work so as avoid unreasonably interference with any other work being performed by or on behalf of Landlord (including, without limitation, Landlord’s Work) and other tenants at the Building. Tenant’s Work shall not be deemed to be Alterations.
D-3
3. Preconstruction Activities.
(a) As soon as reasonably practicable in light of Tenant’s construction planning, Tenant shall submit the following information and items to Landlord for Landlord’s review and approval:
(i) a detailed construction schedule containing the major components of Tenant’s Work including demolition plans and the time required for each, including the scheduled commencement date of construction of Tenant’s Work, milestone dates and the estimated date of completion of construction;
(ii) an itemized statement of the estimated construction cost, including permits and architectural and engineering fees;
(iii) Intentionally Omitted;
(iv) the names and addresses of Tenant’s contractors (and the contractors’ subcontractors) to be engaged by Tenant for Tenant’s Work (“Tenant’s Contractors”). Landlord has the right to reasonably approve or disapprove Tenant’s Contractors. B2SJ is hereby approved as Tenant’s Architect. Provident Construction is hereby approved as an option for Tenant’s Contractor. Tenant shall not employ as Tenant’s Contractors any persons or entities disapproved by Landlord. If Landlord has affirmatively approved only certain contractor(s) and/or subcontractor(s) from Tenant’s list, Tenant shall employ as Tenant’s Contractors only those persons or entities so approved. Landlord may, at its election, designate a list of approved contractors for performance of Tenant’s Work involving electrical, mechanical, plumbing or life-safety systems, from which Tenant must select its contractors for such work;
(v) certified copies of insurance policies or certificates of insurance as hereinafter described. Tenant shall not permit Tenant’s Contractors to commence Tenant’s Work until the required insurance has been obtained and certified copies of policies or certificates have been delivered to Landlord; and
(vi) the Plans for Tenant’s Work, which Plans shall be subject to Landlord’s approval in accordance with Paragraph 3(b) below.
Tenant will update such information and items by notice to Landlord of any changes.
(b) As used herein, the term “Plans” shall mean full and detailed architectural and engineering plans and specifications covering Tenant’s Work (including, without limitation, architectural, mechanical and electrical tenant’s working drawings for Tenant’s Work). The Plans shall be subject to Landlord’s approval and the approval of all local governmental authorities requiring approval, if any. Landlord shall give its
D-4
approval or disapproval (giving general reasons in case of disapproval) of the Plans within seven (7) business days after receipt thereof by Landlord, and thereafter, within five (5) business days for any re-submission. Landlord agrees not to unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its approval of said Plans; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be deemed to have acted unreasonably if it withholds its consent because, in Landlord’s opinion: (i) Tenant’s Work is likely to affect adversely Building systems, telecommunications or data transmission equipment or systems, the structure of the Building or the safety of the Building and its occupants, including possible disturbance of any Hazardous Material; (ii) Tenant’s Work would materially decrease Landlord’s ability to furnish services to Tenant or other tenants; (iii) Tenant’s Work would materially increase the cost of operating the Building; (iv) Tenant’s Work would violate any Laws; (v) Tenant’s Work contains or uses Hazardous Materials; (vi) Tenant’s Work would adversely affect the exterior appearance of the Building (excluding Tenant’s exterior eyebrow signage which is permitted); or (vii) Tenant’s Work would adversely affect another tenant’s premises. The foregoing reasons, however, shall not be exclusive of the reasons for which Landlord may withhold consent, whether or not such other reasons are similar to or dissimilar from the foregoing. Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant by discussing or reviewing preliminary plans and specifications, at Tenant’s request prior to completion of the full, final detailed Plans, in order to expedite preparation of the final Plans and the approval process. If Landlord notifies Tenant that changes are required to the final Plans submitted by Tenant, Tenant shall, within five (5) days thereafter, submit to Landlord for its approval the Plans as amended in accordance with the changes so required. The Plans shall also be revised, and Tenant’s Work shall be changed, to incorporate any work required in the Premises by any local governmental field inspector. Landlord’s approval of the Plans shall in no way be deemed to be acceptance or approval of any element therein contained which is in violation of any applicable laws, ordinances, regulations or other governmental requirements. Tenant shall have the right to provide its own construction manager to manage the construction process, and to let and hold the construction contracts. As described above, Landlord shall be entitled to reasonable approval rights of Tenant’s Contractors, including, without limitation, all contractors, subcontractors, engineers and construction managers; provided, however, Landlord shall not specify that Tenant use any particular subcontractor unless Landlord’s MEP Engineers (as hereinafter defined) advise Landlord to require a specific subcontractor. In addition, Landlord may require certain mechanical, electrical, plumbing and structural engineering firms (collectively, the “MEP Engineers”) to be engaged to ensure preservation of Building systems, code compliance, structural integrity of improvements and impact on other tenants in the Building. There will be no Building construction standards imposed on Tenant as to Tenant’s Work other than those mandated/required by applicable code and/or by the MEP Engineers. During the construction of Tenant’s Work, Landlord shall provide all utilities required to carry out and complete the construction at no cost to Tenant. If in connection with Tenant’s Work, if reinforcing of the floor is required, Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense to reinforce the floor in any areas specified by Tenant’s architect as designed by Landlord’s approved structural engineer, subject to the terms of this Lease and with Landlord approved impact on other
D-5
tenants only. There shall be no construction, management, coordination fee or other “mark ups” on Tenant’s Work payable to Landlord, other than the Construction Management Fee and any actual out of pocket, third party engineers fees incurred by Landlord in connection with Landlord’s review process to the extent as expressly permitted in Paragraph 5 below.
(c) Tenant’s Work shall not be undertaken or commenced by Tenant in the Premises until:
(i) the Plans have been submitted to and approved by Landlord;
(ii) all necessary building permits have been obtained by Tenant;
(iii) all required insurance coverages have been obtained by Tenant. (Failure of Landlord to receive evidence of such coverage upon commencement of Tenant’s Work shall not waive Tenant’s obligations to obtain such coverages.);
(iv) items required to be submitted to Landlord prior to commencement of construction of Tenant’s Work have been so submitted and have been approved, where required; and
(v) Landlord has given written notice that Tenant’s Work can proceed, subject to such reasonable conditions as Landlord may impose.
4. Delays. In the event Tenant, for any reason, fails to complete Tenant’s Work on or before the scheduled Commencement Date of the Term of the Lease, Tenant shall be responsible for rent and all other obligations as set forth in the Lease from the scheduled date for the commencement date under the Lease, regardless of the degree of completion of Tenant’s Work on such date, and no such delay in completion of Tenant’s Work shall relieve Tenant of any of its obligations under said Lease, except to the extent the delay is caused by Landlord Delay in which case the scheduled Commencement Date will be tolled for each day of actual Landlord Delay. “Landlord Delay” shall mean any actual delay in the substantial completion of Tenant’s Work caused to Tenant by any delay by Landlord in performing its obligations under the Workletter within the time periods specified therein, in each case so long as Tenant gives written notice to Landlord within 10 business days of the Landlord Delay occurring.
5. Charges and Fees. Subject to Paragraph 9 below, Tenant shall be responsible for all costs and expenses attributable to Tenant’s Work provided there shall be no construction, management, coordination fee or other “mark ups” on Tenant’s Work payable to Landlord, other than the Construction Management Fee and out of pocket, third party expenses related to the hiring of engineers to assist Landlord in connection with such review; provided, however, if Tenant uses Landlord’s engineers, there will be no additional fee related to such engineers.
6. Change Orders. All changes to the final Plans requested by Tenant must be approved by Landlord in advance of the implementation of such changes as part of Tenant’s Work. All delays caused by Tenant-initiated change orders, including, without limitation, any stoppage of Tenant’s Work during the change order review process, are solely the responsibility
D-6
of Tenant and shall cause no delay in the commencement of the Lease or the rental and other obligations therein set forth.
7. Standards of Design and Construction and Conditions of Tenant’s Performance. All of Tenant’s Work done in or upon the Premises by Tenant shall be done according to the standards set forth in this Paragraph 7, except as the same may be modified in the Plans approved by or on behalf of Landlord and Tenant.
(a) Tenant’s Plans and all design and construction of Tenant’s Work shall comply with all applicable statutes, ordinances, regulations, laws, codes and industry standards, including, but not limited to, requirements of Landlord’s fire insurance underwriters. Approval by Landlord of the Plans shall not constitute a waiver of this requirement or assumption by Landlord of responsibility for compliance. Where several sets of the foregoing laws, codes and standards must be met, the strictest shall apply where not prohibited by another law, code or standard.
(b) Tenant shall obtain, at its own cost and expense, all required building permits and, when construction has been completed, shall obtain, at its own cost and expense, an occupancy permit for the Premises, which permit shall be delivered to Landlord. Tenant’s failure to obtain such permits shall not cause a delay in the commencement of the Lease or the rental and other obligations therein set forth.
(c) Tenant’s Contractors shall be licensed contractors, possessing good labor relations, capable of performing quality workmanship and working in harmony with Landlord’s contractors and subcontractors and with other contractors and subcontractors in the Building. All work shall be coordinated with any other construction or other work in the Building in order not to affect unreasonably and adversely construction work being performed by or for Landlord or its tenants, it being understood that, in the event of any conflict, Landlord and its contractors and subcontractors shall have priority over Tenant and Tenant’s Contractors, but Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant, at no material cost or expense to Landlord, so as not to cause delay in Tenant’s Work as a result of Landlord’s work.
(d) Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform on behalf of and for the account of Tenant upon not less than 15 days advance notice to Tenant, subject to reimbursement by Tenant, any work (i) which Landlord deems to be necessary on an emergency basis, (ii) which pertains to structural components, Building systems or the general utility systems for the Building, (iii) which pertains to the erection of temporary safety barricades or signs during construction, or (iv) which Landlord completes relating to Tenant’s Work and other work in the Building which Tenant was obligated to complete, but Tenant failed to do so after Landlord’s provided written notice thereof to Tenant as described above, but Tenant failed to so cure within such 15 day period to cure.
(e) Tenant shall use only new, first-class materials in Tenant’s Work, except where explicitly shown otherwise in the Plans approved by Landlord and Tenant. Tenant shall obtain warranties of at least one (1) year’s duration from the completion of Tenant’s
D-7
Work against defects in workmanship and materials on all Tenant’s Work performed and equipment installed in the Premises as part of Tenant’s Work.
(f) Tenant and Tenant’s Contractors, in performing work, shall not unreasonably interfere with other tenants and occupants of the Building. Tenant and Tenant’s Contractors shall make all reasonable efforts and take all steps appropriate to construction activities undertaken in a fully occupied, first-class office building so as not to unreasonably interfere with the operation of the Building and shall, in any event, comply with all reasonable rules and regulations existing from time to time at the Building. Tenant and Tenant’s Contractors shall take all reasonable precautionary steps to minimize dust, noise and construction traffic and to protect their facilities and the facilities of others affected by Tenant’s Work and to properly police same. Construction equipment and materials are to be kept within the Premises, and delivery and loading of equipment and materials shall be done at such locations and at such time as Landlord shall direct so as not to burden the construction or operation of the Building.
(g) Landlord shall have the right to order Tenant or any of Tenant’s Contractors who violate the requirements imposed on Tenant or Tenant’s Contractors in performing work to cease work and remove its equipment and employees from the Building. No such action by Landlord shall delay the commencement of the Lease or the rental and other obligations therein set forth.
(h) Tenant shall have no responsibility to pay utility costs or charges for any service (including HVAC and the like) to the Premises during construction of Tenant’s Work. Further, Tenant shall have no obligation to pay for any support services provided by Landlord’s contractors. All use of freight elevators is subject to reasonable scheduling by Landlord at no cost to Tenant. Tenant shall arrange and pay for removal of construction debris and shall not place debris in the Building’s waste containers.
(i) Tenant shall permit access to the Premises, and Tenant’s Work shall be subject to inspection, by Landlord and Landlord’s architects, engineers, contractors and other representatives at all times during the period in which Tenant’s Work is being constructed and installed and following completion of Tenant’s Work.
(j) Tenant shall proceed with Tenant’s Work expeditiously. Tenant shall notify Landlord upon completion of Tenant’s Work and shall furnish Landlord with such further documentation as may be reasonably necessary under Paragraphs 9 and 10 below.
(k) Tenant shall have no authority to materially deviate from the Plans in performance of Tenant’s Work, except as authorized by Landlord and its designated representative in writing.
(l) Landlord shall have the right to run utility lines, pipes, conduits, duct work and component parts of all mechanical and electrical systems where necessary or desirable through the Premises, to repair, alter, replace or remove the same, and to require Tenant to install and maintain proper access panels thereto.
D-8
(m) Tenant shall impose on and enforce all applicable terms of this Workletter against Tenant’s architect and Tenant’s Contractors.
8. Insurance and Indemnification.
(a) In addition to any insurance which may be required under the Lease, Tenant shall secure, pay for and maintain or cause Tenant’s Contractors to secure, pay for and maintain during the continuance of construction and fixturing Tenant’s Work within the Building or Premises, insurance in the following minimum coverages and limits of liability:
(i) Workers’ compensation and employers’ liability insurance with limits of not less than $500,000.00, or such higher amounts as may be required from time to time by any employee benefit acts or other statutes applicable where Tenant’s Work is to be performed, and in any event sufficient to protect Tenant’s Contractors from liability under the aforementioned acts;
(ii) commercial general liability insurance (including contractors’ protective liability) in an amount not less than $3,000,000.00 combined single limit, whether involving bodily injury liability (or death resulting therefrom) or property damage liability or a combination thereof. Such insurance shall provide for explosion and collapse, completed operations coverage and broad form blanket contractual liability coverage and shall insure Tenant’s Contractors against any and all claims for bodily injury, including death resulting therefrom, and damage to the property of others and arising from its operations under the contracts whether such operations are performed by Tenant’s Contractors or by anyone directly or indirectly employed by any of them;
(iii) “special form” builder’s risk insurance upon the entire Tenant’s Work to the full insurable value thereof. This insurance shall include the interests of Landlord and Tenant (and their respective contractors and subcontractors of any tier to the extent of any insurable interest therein) in Tenant’s Work and shall insure against the perils of fire and extended coverage and shall include “all risk” builder’s risk insurance for physical loss or damage including, without duplication of coverage, theft, vandalism and malicious mischief. If portions of Tenant’s Work are stored off the site of the Building or in transit to said site are not covered under said “all risk” builder’s risk insurance, then Tenant shall effect and maintain similar property insurance on such portions of Tenant’s Work. Any loss insured under said “all risk” builder’s risk insurance is to be adjusted with Landlord and Tenant and made payable to Landlord as trustee for the insureds, as their interests may appear.
D-9
All policies (except Tenant’s workers’ compensation policy) shall be endorsed to include as additional insured parties Landlord and its beneficiaries, their partners, directors, officers, employees and agents, Landlord’s contractors, Landlord’s architects, and such additional persons as Landlord may designate. The waiver of subrogation provisions contained in the Lease shall apply to all insurance policies (except Tenant’s workers’ compensation policy) to be obtained by Tenant pursuant to this Paragraph. The insurance policy endorsements shall also provide that all additional insured parties shall be given thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any reduction, cancellation or nonrenewal of coverage (except that ten (10) days’ notice shall be sufficient in the case of cancellation for nonpayment of premium) and shall provide that the insurance coverage afforded to the additional insured parties thereunder shall be primary to any insurance carried independently by said additional insured parties. Additionally, where applicable, each policy shall contain a cross-liability and severability of interest clause.
(b) Without limitation of the indemnification provisions contained in the Lease, to the fullest extent permitted by law Tenant agrees to indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless Landlord, Landlord’s contractors and Landlord’s architects and their partners, directors, officers, employees and agents, from and against all claims, liabilities, losses, damages and expenses of whatever nature arising out of or in connection with Tenant’s Work or the entry of Tenant or Tenant’s Contractors into the Building and the Premises, including, without limitation, mechanics’ liens or the cost of any repairs to the Premises or Building necessitated by activities of Tenant or Tenant’s Contractors and bodily injury to persons or damage to the property of Tenant, its employees, agents, invitees or licensees or others.

9. Landlord’s Contribution; Excess Amounts.
(a) Landlord shall pay Landlord’s Contribution on a monthly basis so long as each request by Tenant to make such payment shall be accompanied by a contractors affidavit and lien waivers, in form and content reasonably approved by Landlord and, if applicable, Landlord’s Mortgagee. Upon completion of Tenant’s Work, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with final waivers of liens and contractors’ affidavits, in such form as may be required by Landlord, Landlord’s title insurance company and Landlord’s Mortgagee, from all parties performing labor or supplying materials or services in connection with Tenant’s Work showing that all of said parties have been compensated in full and waiving all liens in connection with the Premises and Building.

D-10
period, within fifteen (15) days after the last to occur of the following: (a) Landlord’s receipt of the aforesaid evidence and (b) Tenant opens for business in the Premises, Landlord shall remit to Tenant Landlord’s contribution (“Landlord’s Contribution”) in the amount of One Hundred Forty-Five and 00/100 Dollars ($145.00) per rentable square foot of the Premises (using the Final Rentable Area for the avoidance of doubt and resulting in a total Landlord’s Contribution amount of $14,024,400.00 for application to the cost of Tenant’s Work. If the cost of Tenant’s Work exceeds Landlord’s Contribution, Tenant solely shall have responsibility for the payment of such excess cost. If the cost of Tenant’s Work is less than Landlord’s Contribution, Tenant shall have the right to apply up to 10% of Landlord’s Contribution for any move-related expenses of Tenant and (a) telecommunications equipment and installation; (b) the purchase of furniture, fixtures and equipment; (c) other specialty trade fixtures and equipment as selected by Tenant for the Premises; (d) legal fees and consultant fees; and (e) moving costs of any kind. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord may deduct from Landlord’s Contribution any amounts due to Landlord or its architects or engineers under this Workletter. As part of Landlord’s Contribution, Landlord’s shall be paid a ½ of 1% construction management fee of the total hard construction costs of Tenant’s Work (the “Construction Management Fee”), but no other fees or charges shall be due to Landlord as a result of the performance of Tenant’s Work, other than any such out of pocket third party engineers’ expenses incurred by Landlord unless Tenant uses Landlord’s engineers in which event Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any such expenses to such engineers.
(c) In addition to Landlord’s Contribution, Landlord agrees to provide to Tenant an allowance with respect to a test-fit of the Premises (the “Test-Fit Allowance”, together with Landlord’s Contribution, the “Construction Allowance”) in the amount of up to Fourteen Thousand Five Hundred Eight and 00/100 Dollars ($14,508.00) representing fifteen cents ($0.15) per rentable square foot of the Final Rentable Area of the Premises to be applied to the costs of a test-fit of the Premises to be prepared by Tenant’s architect B2SJ with one revision and pricing notes in order to estimate Building efficiency and construction costs; provided, that: (a) Tenant delivers written notice to Landlord requesting that Landlord deposit with Tenant the Test-Fit Allowance; (b) Tenant delivers to Landlord documents, reasonably acceptable to Landlord, evidencing such expenses, including copies of third party invoices; and (c) Tenant is not then in default under the Lease beyond any applicable notice or grace period.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, if Landlord fails to timely pay any amount of the Construction Allowance and Tenant has satisfied all conditions for obtaining disbursement (a “Qualified TI Disbursement”), and such default by Landlord is not cured within 30 days after notice thereof from Tenant then Tenant shall be entitled, at its option, to set off the amount of such Qualified TI Disbursement from Tenant’s Base Rent obligation hereunder. Tenant’s setoff rights hereunder shall not exceed the total Construction Allowance less any amount previously disbursed to Tenant. Notwithstanding anything contained in this subsection (d) to the contrary, if Landlord and Tenant have a good faith bona fide dispute relating to Tenant’s
D-11
Work and/or Landlord’s Contribution in connection with a Qualified TI Disbursement, such 30 day period described herein shall be extended on a day for day basis until such dispute is settled. At the request of Tenant, any dispute as to Tenant’s exercise of any rights under this section shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, with the following exceptions. The arbitration shall be held in Denver, Colorado. There shall be a single arbitrator selected by the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator shall be independent of the parties and have at least ten years’ experience in the supervision of the operation and management of major office buildings in the area in which the Building is located. The arbitrator will have no authority to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party’s actual damages. The arbitrator must set forth in any award findings of fact and conclusions of law supporting the decision. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The cost of the arbitrator shall be allocated as provided in Section 17.9 of this Lease.
10. Intentionally Omitted.
11. Miscellaneous.
(a) Except as expressly set forth herein or in the Lease, Landlord has no agreement with Tenant and has no obligation to do any work with respect to the Premises.
(b) If the Plans for Tenant’s Work require the construction and installation of more fire hose cabinets or telephone/electrical closets than the number regularly provided by Landlord in the core of the Building in which the Premises are located, then Tenant agrees to pay all costs and expenses arising from the construction and installation of such additional fire hose cabinets or telephone/electrical closets.
(c) Time is of the essence under this Tenant’s Workletter.
(d) If Tenant fails to make any payment relating to Tenant’s Work as required hereunder, Landlord, at its option, may complete Tenant’s Work pursuant to the approved Plans and continue to hold Tenant liable for the costs thereof and all other costs due to Landlord. Tenant’s failure to pay any amounts owed by Tenant hereunder when due or Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations hereunder shall also constitute a default under the Lease, and Landlord shall have all the rights and remedies granted to Landlord under the Lease for nonpayment of any amounts owed thereunder or failure by Tenant to perform its obligations thereunder.
(e) Notices under this Workletter shall be given in the same manner as under the Lease.
(f) The liability of Landlord hereunder or under any amendment hereto or any instrument or document executed in connection herewith (including, without limitation, the Lease) shall be limited to and enforceable solely against Landlord’s interest in the Building.

SUBORDINATION,
NONDISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, made as of ____________, 2024, by and among TR 16 MARKET SQUARE CORP., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), EQUITABLE FINANCIAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY, a New York corporation, (“Lender”), and IBOTTA, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”),
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, Lender has a loan to Borrower secured by a mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument (the "Mortgage") from Borrower to Lender, recorded in the Official Records of the City and County of Denver, State of Colorado. The mortgage encumbers the real property (the “Property”) in the City and County of Denver, State of Colorado, commonly known as 16 Market Square, which is described in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof. Tenant is the tenant under the Lease (the “Lease”) dated _____________, _____, between Borrower, as landlord, and Tenant, as tenant. Tenant leases a portion of the Property pursuant to the Lease. Borrower will assign or has assigned the Lease to Lender pursuant to the Mortgage.
NOW, THEREFORE, Borrower, Lender and Tenant agree as follows:
1.Subordination
. The Lease is hereby made and shall at all times be subject and subordinate in all respects to the Mortgage and all indebtedness and obligations now or hereafter secured by the Mortgage, including, without limitation, all amendments, modifications, extensions, supplements, substitutions and replacements of the Mortgage and all advances made by Lender to Borrower secured by the Mortgage, subject to the terms hereof.
2.Nondisturbance; Recognition
. If there is a judicial foreclosure sale, a sale pursuant to the power of sale, or an acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure under the Mortgage (any such event being a “Foreclosure Transfer”), the Lease shall not be terminated (or subject to termination) as a result of the Foreclosure Transfer, nor shall Tenant’s use, possession or enjoyment of the portion of the
Property demised by the Lease be disturbed, so long as no default exists beyond any applicable notice and cure under the Lease that would give the landlord under the Lease the right to terminate the Lease or would cause automatic termination of the Lease, and the Lease and Tenant’s rights thereunder shall be recognized by Foreclosure Transferee subject to the terms hereof. Tenant agrees that the person or entity, which may include Lender, and its successors and assigns, that acquires title to the Property by reason of a Foreclosure Transfer and succeeds to the interest of Borrower as landlord under the Lease (such person or entity being the “Foreclosure Transferee”) shall not be:
(a) liable for any act or omission of Borrower or any other prior landlord under the Lease except for acts, omissions, obligations, or payments of a continuing nature, provided that Foreclosure Transferee’s obligation to cure such default shall be limited solely to performance as required pursuant to the terms of the Lease, and so long as Tenant (i) notifies Foreclosure Transferee of such continuing default, and (ii) provides Foreclosure Transferee with an opportunity to cure such continuing default, in each case, in accordance with Section 4 of this Agreement, and, in such event, the Foreclosure Transferee’s responsibility shall be determined as if the failure had first arisen upon the day the Foreclosure Transferee acquires title to the Property by reason of a Foreclosure Transfer and succeeds to the interest of Borrower as landlord under the Lease,
(b) subject to any claim, charge, offset or defense under the Lease that Tenant might have against Borrower or any such prior landlord based on any act, omission, event or occurrence before the Foreclosure Transfer,
(c) bound by any rent, additional rent or deposit that Tenant might have paid in advance to Borrower or any such prior landlord for more than the current month (or other period for which rent or additional rent is to be paid in advance in accordance with the Lease) in which the Foreclosure Transfer occurs, unless such rent, additional rent or deposit is actually received by the Foreclosure Transferee,
(d) bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease or any termination of the Lease made without Lender’s prior written consent, except to confirm (i) the exercise of the options expressly provided in Article 34 (Option to Terminate), Article 35 (Options to Extend), Article 36 (Right of First Offer), Article 37 (Right of First Refusal), and Article 39 (Contraction Right) and (ii) the election of rights of Tenant to terminate the Lease as are expressly provided in Section 2.2 of the Lease as of the date hereof,
(e) responsible for repairing or restoring the Property in the case of damage by fire or other casualty or taking by condemnation, except as otherwise expressly set forth in the Lease, provided, however, the foregoing shall not limit the termination rights of the parties in the event of a casualty or condemnation as expressly set forth in the Lease. To the extent that Foreclosure Transferee shall be obligated under the Lease to make such repairs, Foreclosure Transferee shall be obligated to finance the completion of such repairs only to the extent of casualty insurance proceeds or condemnation awards received and available for repair or restoration,
(f) obligated to perform any construction work required to be done by Borrower or any such prior landlord or to reimburse Tenant for any construction work performed by Tenant or to pay Tenant for any tenant improvement or construction allowance, or
(g) bound by any agreement not expressly set forth in the Lease.
3.Attornment
. If the interest of the landlord under the Lease is transferred by reason of a Foreclosure Transfer, Tenant shall be bound to the Foreclosure Transferee and the Foreclosure Transferee shall be bound to Tenant under the Lease for the balance of the term of the Lease, and any extension thereof which may be effected in accordance with the Lease, with the same force and effect as if the Foreclosure Transferee were the original landlord under the Lease, except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 2 hereof. Tenant hereby attorns to the Foreclosure Transferee as the landlord under the Lease, such attornment to be effective and self-operative upon the Foreclosure Transfer without the execution of any further agreement. The respective rights and obligations of the Foreclosure Transferee and Tenant upon such attornment, to the extent of such balance of the term of the Lease and any such extension, shall be the same as now set forth in the Lease, except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 2 hereof.
4.Covenants
. With respect to the assignment of the Lease by Borrower to Lender pursuant to the Mortgage, Tenant shall pay all rent and perform all obligations under the Lease to Borrower until Tenant receives written notice from Lender, in which event Tenant agrees to pay all rent and to perform all obligations under the Lease directly to and for the benefit of Lender or such other party as Lender directs in such notice, and Borrower (as landlord under the lease) authorizes Tenant to do so in accordance with the instructions of Lender. Borrower agrees that such payment and performance to and for the benefit of Lender shall satisfy Tenant’s obligations under the Lease. Tenant agrees that Lender assumes no obligations under the Lease by virtue of the assignment of the Lease by Borrower to Lender pursuant to the Mortgage or other loan document and that Lender shall not become liable for any obligations under the Lease unless Lender acquires title to the Property as a Foreclosure Transferee at a Foreclosure Transfer. As long as the Mortgage shall encumber the Property:
(a)Tenant shall not pay any rent under the Lease more than one (1) month in advance.
(b)Tenant shall not terminate (except upon default or breach by Borrower, after giving Lender written notice and opportunity to cure pursuant to this Agreement) the Lease for a default by Borrower, as landlord under the Lease, without the prior written consent of Lender, it being acknowledged and agreed that Lender’s consent is not required for the exercise by Tenant of any of express termination rights under the Lease.
(c)If Borrower defaults under or breaches the Lease, Tenant shall simultaneously send to Lender a copy of any default notice sent to Borrower describing each such default or breach and give Lender the following opportunity to cure such default or breach:
(i) In the case of a default or breach that is capable of being cured by the payment of money, Lender shall have the cure period available to Borrower under the Lease plus twenty (20) days to cure such default or breach;
(ii) In the case of a non-monetary default or breach that is capable of being cured without possession of the Property, Lender shall have the cure period available to Borrower under the Lease plus sixty (60) days to cure such default or breach; and
(d) (iii) If curing such default or breach requires possession of the Property, Lender shall have sixty (60) days after the date on which Lender obtains possession of the Property to cure such default or breach.
Tenant shall not terminate the Lease because of any such default or breach by Borrower unless Tenant has given such written notice to Lender and Lender has failed to cure such default or breach within the applicable period of time.
Anything in this Subparagraph 4(c) to the contrary notwithstanding, if the default or breach is of such a nature that Lender is not obligated to cure such pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 2 hereof, Tenant shall not terminate the Lease so long as Lender is diligently moving towards completion of a Foreclosure Transfer, and upon completion of such Foreclosure Transfer, such default or breach shall be deemed waived.
1.Notices
. All notices under this Agreement shall be properly given only if made in writing and either mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, or delivered by hand (including messenger or recognized delivery, courier or air express service) to the party at the address set forth in this paragraph or such other address as such party may designate by notice to the other parties.
