(a)Commencing on the Fourth Amendment Expansion Space Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined), the Existing Premises: (i) shall be expanded to include those certain spaces consisting of approximately 3,737 rentable square feet in the aggregate on the eighth (8th) floor of the Building, as more particularly shown on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof (such spaces being sometimes referred to collectively herein as the “Fourth Amendment Expansion Space”), and (ii) shall then consist of a total of approximately 410,787 rentable square feet. The Lease is hereby amended to add the Fourth Amendment Expansion Space to the Existing Premises as demised and defined in the Lease as of the Fourth Amendment Expansion Space Commencement Date upon the same terms and provisions specified in the Lease, except as herein set forth. On and after the Fourth Amendment Expansion Space Commencement Date, all references in the Lease to the “Premises” shall mean the Existing Premises together with the Fourth Amendment Expansion Space (unless specifically set forth herein to the contrary). However, as set forth below, no Basic Rental, and no amounts that would otherwise be due as Tenant’s Share of Excess Expenses and Tenant’s Share of Excess Taxes or the fee for security services, shall be payable with respect to the Fourth Amendment Expansion Space until the Fourth Amendment Expansion Space Rent Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined).

4.Additional Rent.
(a)Tenant shall continue to pay all additional rent and other charges due under the Lease (including, without limitation, Tenant’s Share of Excess Expenses and Tenant’s Share of Excess Taxes and the fee for security services) for the Existing Premises in the same manner as set forth in the Lease.
(b)Subject to Paragraphs 4(c), 4(d), and 4(e) below, on and after the Fourth Amendment Expansion Space Commencement Date, in addition to the amounts payable with respect to the Existing Premises, Tenant shall pay all additional rent and other charges due under the Lease applicable to the Fourth Amendment Expansion Space in the same manner as set forth in the Lease, except that Tenant’s obligation to pay Tenant’s Share of Excess Expenses, Tenant’s Share of Excess Taxes, and the fee for security services with respect to the Fourth Amendment Expansion Space shall not commence until the Fourth Amendment Expansion Space Rent Commencement Date.
(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of calculating amounts due as Tenant’s Share of Excess Expenses and Tenant’s Share of Excess Taxes with respect to only the Fourth Amendment Expansion Space: (i) the Base Expenses shall be the Expenses for the 2022 calendar year; and (ii) the Base Taxes shall be the Taxes for the 2022 calendar year (the 2022 Summer Taxes due July 1, 2022, and 2022 Winter Taxes due December 1, 2022). Because the Base Expenses and Base Taxes are different for the Fourth Amendment Expansion Space than the Base Expenses and Base Taxes for the Existing Premises, Tenant’s Share of Excess Expenses and Tenant’s Share of Excess Taxes shall be calculated separately with respect to the Fourth Amendment Expansion Space. Tenant’s Share with respect to only the Fourth Amendment Expansion Space shall be 78.07 percent (78.07%).
(d)Section 5(a)(D) of the Original Lease shall not apply to the calculation of amounts due as Tenant’s Share of Excess Expenses and Tenant’s Share of Excess Taxes with respect to the Fourth Amendment Expansion Space. For
Page 3 of 9
FOURTH AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED LEASE-611 WEBWARD AVENUE MASTER TENANT LLC – ROCKET MORTGAGE, LLC
purposes of calculating amounts due as Tenant’s Share of Excess Expenses and Tenant’s Share of Excess Taxes with respect to only the Fourth Amendment Expansion Space, the Controllable Expenses for any calendar year following the 2022 calendar year shall not exceed the Fourth Amendment Cap. The “Fourth Amendment Cap” for the calendar year immediately following the 2022 calendar year shall be 102% of the Controllable Expenses for the 2022 calendar year, and the Fourth Amendment Cap for each calendar year thereafter shall be 102% of the Fourth Amendment Cap for the immediately preceding calendar year.
(e)The fee for security services payable with respect to the Existing Premises shall continue to be as set forth in the Lease. The fee for security services payable with respect to the Fourth Amendment Expansion Space shall be calculated based on the same per rentable square foot per annum rate as the fee for security services then payable with respect to the “Expansion Space” under the Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment Expansion Space”) (as such rate may increase annually pursuant to the Third Amendment). Except as set forth in this Paragraph 4(e), the fee for security services for the Fourth Amendment Expansion Space shall be payable in the same manner as the fee for security services payable with respect to the Existing Premises.
5.8th Floor Leasehold Improvements.
(a)Tenant agrees to accept the Fourth Amendment Expansion Space in its then-current, “as-is” condition as of the Fourth Amendment Expansion Space Commencement Date, and Landlord shall have no obligation to make any improvements to the Fourth Amendment Expansion Space. Except as expressly provided herein, there are no rental abatements, improvement allowances, moving allowances or other payments, credits or allowances of any kind whatsoever being made or provided by Landlord with respect to the expansion of the Existing Premises to include the Fourth Amendment Expansion Space.
(b)Landlord agrees to provide Tenant an allowance of up to [***] (the “8th Floor Improvement Allowance”) for the cost of construction of certain improvements within the Fourth Amendment Expansion Space and other portions of the Premises located on the eighth (8th) floor as more particularly defined in the “Work Letter” attached hereto as Exhibit “B” and by this reference made a part hereof (the “8th Floor Leasehold Improvements”), to be computed, expended and applied in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Work Letter. The 8th Floor Leasehold Improvements shall be constructed by Tenant in accordance with the Work Letter. In no event shall Landlord be obligated to expend more than the 8th Floor Improvement Allowance for the design and construction of the 8th Floor Leasehold Improvements. Tenant shall be responsible for all costs of designing and constructing the 8th Floor Leasehold Improvements in excess of the 8th Floor Improvement Allowance.
Page 4 of 9
FOURTH AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED LEASE-611 WEBWARD AVENUE MASTER TENANT LLC – ROCKET MORTGAGE, LLC
(c)Subject to the terms of this Paragraph 5(c), provided that there does not exist an Event of Default under the Lease, after application of the 8th Floor Improvement Allowance to Tenant’s Construction Costs (as defined in the Work Letter) in accordance with the Work Letter, Tenant may, by written notice to Landlord (the “Election Notice”) on or before the Allowance Expiration Date (as defined in the Work Letter), elect to apply any then-remaining unused portion of the 8th Floor Improvement Allowance to the actual, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Tenant for the cost of purchasing and installing furniture, trade fixtures, equipment, telephone and data cabling, and other similar non-construction items and signs in the Premises (collectively, “FF&E Costs”). If Tenant elects to apply any portion of the 8th Floor Improvement Allowance to FF&E Costs, Tenant shall specify the portion of the 8th Floor Improvement Allowance to be so applied in the Election Notice, and the Election Notice must be accompanied by invoices from Tenant evidencing expenditure of such sums by Tenant. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for such actual, out-of-pocket expenses promptly upon receipt of the Election Notice and such invoices. However, Landlord shall have no obligation to reimburse Tenant for any such FF&E Costs for which invoices are submitted after the Allowance Expiration Date.
6.Parking.
(a)As set forth in the Third Amendment, the ratio of six (6) parking spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet of the Premises does not apply to the Third Amendment Expansion Space. Such ratio also does not apply to the Fourth Amendment Expansion Space. There shall be no additional parking spaces made available to Tenant in connection with the Fourth Amendment Expansion Space except as set forth in Paragraph 6(b) below.
(b)Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 1(o) or Section 35 of the Original Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall be allocated: (i) two (2) unreserved parking spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet of the Fourth Amendment Expansion Space; plus (ii) five (5) parking spaces in the parking garage located on floor LL1 of the Building (the “Qube Parking Spaces”). Parking charges for the spaces described in clause (i) above shall be the same as the parking charges then payable for the QL Parking Spaces under Section 35 of the Original Lease (as such charges escalate from time to time). Parking charges for the Qube Parking Spaces shall initially be Three Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($300.00) per parking space per month, which monthly parking fee shall increase by an amount equal to Five and 00/100 Dollars ($5.00) per parking space on January 1st of every year. All Qube Parking Spaces shall be reserved parking spaces (8, 9, 10, 11 and 12) as shown on Exhibit “C” attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof. However, Landlord shall not be required to police Tenant’s right to utilize such parking spaces.

FOURTH AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED LEASE-611 WEBWARD AVENUE MASTER TENANT LLC – ROCKET MORTGAGE, LLC
(c)On and after the Fourth Amendment Expansion Space Commencement Date, the number of QL Parking Spaces to which Tenant is entitled shall be equal to: (i) six (6) parking spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet of the Existing Premises; plus (ii) two (2) parking spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet of the Third Amendment Expansion Space; plus (iii) two (2) parking spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet of the Fourth Amendment Expansion Space, plus (iv) the five (5) Qube Parking Spaces. The total number of QL Parking Spaces described in the immediately preceding sentence is sometimes herein referred to as the “Maximum QL Parking Spaces.” Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 35 of the Original Lease to the contrary, if Tenant exercises its right to reduce the number of QL Parking Spaces and then subsequently exercises its right to increase the number of QL Parking Spaces, in no event shall Tenant have the right to increase the number of QL Parking Spaces above the Maximum QL Parking Spaces.
(d)Except as expressly set forth in this Paragraph 6 to the contrary, all parking spaces shall continue to be governed by and subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in Section 35 of the Original Lease.

11.Counterparts and Lease Execution.
(a)This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and may be signed and/or transmitted by facsimile, electronic mail of a .pdf document, or electronic signature technology (e.g., via DocuSign or similar electronic signature technology), and each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument.

ARTICLE 2
DEVELOPMENT OF CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS
2.01 Space Plan. Tenant shall cause the Space Planner to submit the Space Plan to Landlord for Landlord’s review and approval. After Landlord receives the Space Plan, Landlord shall, in its sole but reasonable discretion, approve or disapprove the Space Plan. If Landlord disapproves the Space Plan, Landlord shall return the Space Plan to Tenant, along with a statement setting forth the grounds for the disapproval. In such event, Tenant shall make such changes as are necessary in order to make the Space Plan acceptable to Landlord and shall then re-submit the revised Space Plan to Landlord. This procedure shall be repeated until Landlord has delivered to Tenant written approval of the Space Plan. When approved by Landlord, the Space Plan shall be deemed to be the Approved Space Plan.
2.02 Construction Drawings. Upon receipt of the Approved Space Plan, Tenant shall direct the Space Planner to begin preparation of Construction Drawings and shall submit Construction Drawings to Landlord for Landlord’s approval or disapproval. After its receipt of such documents, Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of its approval or disapproval, stating in reasonable detail the reasons for any disapproval. If Landlord reasonably disapproves the Construction Drawings, Tenant shall then resubmit revised Construction Drawings to Landlord and Landlord shall, within three (3) Business Days thereafter, approve or disapprove the revised Construction Drawings, stating in reasonable detail the reasons for any disapproval. The foregoing process shall be repeated as many times as are necessary in order to obtain Construction Drawings which are approved by Landlord. When approved by Landlord, the Construction Drawings shall be deemed to be the Approved Construction Drawings.
2.03 Change Orders.
(a) All changes requested by Tenant shall require Landlord’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld. Any Contractor-initiated Change Order must be reviewed and approved by Landlord and Tenant, which review and approval will not be unreasonably withheld. Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord’s approval or disapproval of any Change Order within five (5) Business Days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s request for approval thereof.
(b) Should any Change Order modify the Approved Construction Drawings, Tenant shall pay all reasonable additional third-party costs thereby actually incurred by Landlord (plus any increase in the Construction Management Fee (as hereinafter defined) resulting from such Change Order). All revised or additional Construction Drawings are subject to Landlord’s prior review and written approval. Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord’s approval or disapproval thereof within five (5) Business Days after Landlord’s receipt of such revised or additional Construction Drawings. If and when approved by Landlord, such revised or additional Construction Drawings shall be deemed to be a part of the Approved Construction Drawings.

2.04 Legal Requirements. All design, construction and installation shall conform to the requirements of the Lease, including, but not limited to, Section 8(d) thereof, and all applicable governmental laws, rules, requirements, codes, orders, regulations or ordinances (collectively, “Law” or “Laws”). Tenant agrees that any review or approval by Landlord of the Space Plan or the Construction Drawings is solely for Landlord’s benefit, and without any representation, warranty or liability whatsoever to Tenant or any other person with respect to the adequacy, correctness or sufficiency thereof, or otherwise. The approval by Landlord of the Approved Space Plan and the Approved Construction Drawings shall not in any way be deemed to be an agreement or certification by Landlord that the work contemplated thereby complies with applicable Laws or that the Approved Space Plan or the Approved Construction Drawings will be approved by governmental agencies having jurisdiction thereover. Tenant and the Space Planner shall be solely responsible for the compliance of the design shown on the Approved Space Plan and the Approved Construction Drawings with all applicable Laws. Tenant acknowledges that the 8th Floor Leasehold Improvements must be in compliance with all applicable Laws and any historic requirements relating to the Building’s historic designation, and with the requirements of any Historic Tax Credits.
2.05 Materials and Workmanship. All work and materials required under the Approved Construction Drawings, including all materials, finishes and workmanship shall be equal to, or of a quality superior to, Building Standard. Except as approved by Landlord, all materials incorporated in the 8th Floor Leasehold Improvements shall be new.
2.06 Field Verification. Space Planner shall verify at the job site all dimensions, locations and structural members and any physical conditions affecting the Construction Drawings.
2.07 Electrical Meter. The parties acknowledge that, as of the date of this Amendment, the Fourth Amendment Expansion Space is not submetered for electricity. The 8th Floor Leasehold Improvements must include the installation of an electrical submeter, or work to cause all electricity provided to the Fourth Amendment Expansion Space to be measured by the electrical submeter currently measuring electricity to the Existing Premises, so as to enable Tenant to pay for electricity provided to the Fourth Amendment Expansion Space in the manner set forth in Section 11(b) of the Original Lease. Without limiting any other grounds upon which Landlord may refuse to consent thereto, Landlord shall have the right to disapprove any Construction Drawings that do not include the work described in this Section 2.07.
2.08 Deemed Approval. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its approval of the Space Plan, the Construction Drawings, or any Change Order (including, without limitation, any revised or additional Construction Drawings relating thereto). In the event that Landlord fails to notify Tenant of Landlord’s approval or disapproval of any submittal within the time periods specified in this Work Letter, Landlord shall be deemed to have approved the applicable submittal.

(c) Tenant shall select the Contractor to construct 8th Floor Leasehold Improvements, but any such Contractor shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Landlord and Tenant, all work involved in the construction and installation of 8th Floor Leasehold Improvements shall be carried out by Contractor under a direct contract with Tenant. If Tenant wishes to engage any additional contractor other than Contractor to perform any portion of the 8th Floor Leasehold Improvements, any such engagement shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Tenant does hereby waive all claims against Landlord for damage to any property or injury to, or death of any person in, on or about the Premises or the Building arising out of or in any way related to the construction of the 8th Floor Leasehold Improvements by Contractor, except to the extent caused by, or resulting from, the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, servants, employees, representatives or contractors, and then only if such damage, injury, death or loss is not covered by insurance of the type required to be carried by Tenant or its Contractor under the Lease. Except to the extent caused by, or resulting from, the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, servants, employees, representatives or contractors and except for the liabilities waived under Section 21 of the Lease, Tenant shall, and hereby does agree to, indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all claims, causes of action, damages, costs and expenses arising out of the performance of the 8th Floor Leasehold Improvements, including, but without limitation, personal injury or property damage, the imposition of any lien against the Premises or the Building and matters arising out of the failure of the 8th Floor Leasehold Improvements to comply with applicable Laws or any historic requirements relating to the Building’s historic designation, or with the requirements of any Historic Tax Credits.

(f) Tenant agrees that in the event it fails to make any payment required in this Work Letter after notice and reasonable opportunity to cure in a timely manner, or fails to obtain the final lien waivers described above in this Article 4 within a reasonable period of time, then Landlord, in addition to any and all other remedies allowed to Landlord by law or in equity, shall have the same rights and remedies against Tenant as in the case of an Event of Default in payment of Rent under the Lease. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in the Lease, if an Event of Default under the Lease or a default under this Work Letter has occurred at any time on or before the completion of the 8th Floor Leasehold Improvements, then (i) in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to Landlord pursuant to the Lease, Landlord shall have the right to withhold payment of all or any portion of the 8th Floor Improvement Allowance and/or Landlord may cause Contractor to cease the construction of the 8th Floor Leasehold Improvements (in which case Tenant shall be responsible for any delay in the completion of the 8th Floor Leasehold Improvements caused by such work stoppage), and (ii) all other obligations of Landlord under the terms of this Work Letter shall be forgiven until such time as such Event of Default or default under this Work Letter is cured pursuant to the terms of the Lease or this Work Letter, as applicable (in which case Tenant shall be responsible for any delay in the completion of the 8th Floor Leasehold Improvements caused by such inaction by Landlord).

All such coverages shall be maintained with companies meeting the requirements applicable to insurance to be carried by Tenant under the Lease (provided that, notwithstanding anything contained in the Lease to the contrary, in no event shall Contractor have any right to self-insure). Prior to the commencement of the 8th Floor Leasehold Improvements, Tenant shall deliver copies of certificates of insurance evidencing such coverage to Landlord.
