TERM AND TERMINATION
2.1    Lease. Subject to and upon the terms, provisions and conditions hereinafter set forth, and each in consideration of the duties, covenants and obligations of the other hereunder, Landlord does hereby lease, demise and let to Tenant and Tenant does hereby lease and take from Landlord the Property.
2.2    Term. The Term shall begin on the Commencement Date, and end on the Expiration Date, unless extended or terminated sooner as provided below.
2.3    Renewal Options: Provided Tenant is not in default beyond any applicable cure period, Tenant shall have one option to renew this Lease for a period of five years (the “Renewal Option”). Tenant shall have the right to exercise the Renewal Option by providing Landlord with written notice not less than nine months prior to the Expiration Date. This Lease shall continue upon the same terms and conditions; provided, however, Base Rent during the renewal term shall be at the then “fair market rent” for the Property, as determined by the following process:

2.3.1    Within 20 days after Tenant’s exercise of its option to extend, Landlord will propose the market rental rate to Tenant in writing.

2.3.2    Within 20 days thereafter, Tenant will either accept such determination (with no response on Tenant’s part during such period being deemed Tenant’s rejection of such proposed market rental rate, which will be followed by Tenant’s alternate determination of the market rental rate) or, if Tenant disagrees with such determination, Tenant will



provide in writing to Landlord Tenant’s alternate determination of the market rental rate.

2.3.3    If, within 20 days thereafter, the parties are not able to agree on the market rental rate, within 20 days after such failure to agree, Landlord and Tenant shall together appoint an appraiser or commercial real estate broker having at least five years' experience in the leasing of similar properties in the vicinity of Eden Prairie, Minnesota (an “Appraiser”). If Landlord and Tenant are not able to agree upon the designation of the Appraiser, then each will select an Appraiser and the two Appraisers will select a third Appraiser who will determine the market rental rate.

2.3.4    Within 45 days after the Appraiser’s appointment, the Appraiser will determine the fair market rental value of the Property applicable to the renewal term and shall choose whichever of the fair market rental values set forth in Landlord's last proposal or Tenant’s last proposal is closer to such determination, which shall, for all purposes hereunder, be deemed the fair market rental rate and that amount shall be the Base Rent for the renewal term. The Appraiser may not make any change to the Landlord’s or Tenant’s determination and its role is strictly limited to choosing which of the two determinations (Landlord’s or Tenant’s) is closer to the market rental rate. The determination of the Appraiser shall be binding, final and conclusive on the parties. The fees and expenses of the Appraiser and all costs incurred in connection with the appointment of the Appraiser will be shared equally by Landlord and Tenant.

2.3.5    For the purposes of this Lease, the term “market rental rate” means the market net rental (i.e., comparable to Base Rent) for the Property in question with respect to the time period in question, taking into account base rental rates, escalation provisions and factors and other economic deal points typically contracted for in arms-length transactions for space of the size of and with at least as desirable a location in other similar buildings in Eden Prairie, and further taking into account all pertinent factors.
2.4    Surrender of the Property Upon Lease Termination. On the Expiration Date or upon the earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall peaceably surrender the Property in good condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear, casualty, condemnation and the Landlord’s maintenance and repair obligations hereunder excluded. On or before the Expiration Date or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, remove any Required Removables pursuant to Section 5.1 and all of its property, trade fixtures and equipment from the Property. All property not removed shall be deemed abandoned. Tenant appoints Landlord its agent to remove all property of Tenant not removed by Tenant from the Property upon termination of this Lease and to cause its transportation, storage and disposal, all at the sole cost of Tenant. Landlord shall not be liable for damage, theft, misappropriation or loss of the abandoned property. Tenant shall pay all costs and expenses of the removal, transportation and storage of the abandoned property. Tenant shall leave the Property “broom swept” and in the condition described above. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, upon demand, for any reasonable and actual expenses incurred by Landlord to restore the Property to the condition described above following Tenant’s surrender.

3.1    Base Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, without setoff, the monthly Base Rent, in advance, on the 1st day of each month during the Term commencing on the Rent Commencement Date, without demand or notice by Landlord. If for any reason the Rent Commencement Date shall not begin on the first of the month, the Base Rent shall be equitably prorated.
3.2    Additional Rent. In addition to Base Rent, commencing on the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay as additional rent, in advance, on or before the 1st day of each month during the Term, one-twelfth (1/12th) of the estimated amount of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the Property Taxes and Operating Expenses incurred with respect to the Property for the calendar year (the “Additional Rent”). Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be the ratio expressed as a percentage that the rentable area of the Property (which is 20,019 rentable square feet) bears to the rentable area of the Building (which is 81,546 rentable square feet). For the purposes of calculating Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Property Taxes and Operating Expenses, Landlord may not reduce the rentable area of the Building during the Term unless caused by Tenant’s Work, Tenant’s Alterations, or other Tenant improvements to the Property or other space within the Building as a result of a future Tenant expansion.
The “Property Taxes” shall include any general real property tax, improvement tax, assessment, special assessment, reassessment, commercial rental tax, charge, penalty or similar imposition imposed by any authority having the direct or indirect power to tax, which become due or payable against or upon the Building, the Real Estate, or Landlord after the Rent Commencement Date, including but not limited to, (a) any city, county, state or federal entity, (b) any school, agricultural, lighting, drainage or other improvement or special assessment district, (c) any governmental agency, or (d) any private entity having the authority to assess the Property. The term Property Taxes include all charges or burdens of every kind and nature Landlord incurs in connection with using, occupying, owning, operating, leasing or possessing the Property, whether any of the foregoing are general, special, ordinary, extraordinary, foreseen or unforeseen. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Property Taxes shall not include (i) taxes, assessments and the like not due and payable during the Term; (ii) federal, state or local income taxes, or any tax measured by Landlord’s net income; (iii) franchise, gift, transfer, excise, capital stock, estate, succession or inheritance taxes; (iv) any special assessments attributable to the initial construction of the Real Estate; (v) taxes attributable to the trade fixtures of other tenants of the Building, or (vi) penalties or interest on late payment of Property Taxes unless caused by Tenant. For the purposes of calculating Property Taxes in any given calendar or taxable year, special assessments shall be paid over the maximum period allowed by law.

The “Operating Expenses” shall be determined on a cash basis, regardless of when incurred, and shall include all expenses, costs and disbursements (other than Property Taxes as set forth above) incurred by the Landlord in connection with the management, maintenance, operation and repair of the Property, including, without limitation, Common Areas maintenance, energy costs not separately metered, snow removal costs, insurance premiums and costs, maintenance and repair costs, and all other costs which can properly be considered operating expenses, but excluding (i) capital repairs or improvements, (ii) alterations for tenants, (iii) principal or interest payments on loans secured by any mortgage on the Property, (iv) expenses incurred as a result of the fault of Landlord, its



agents or employees, (v) costs charged to Tenant under any other sections of this Lease, paid by other tenants, or covered by insurance or condemnation proceeds, (vi) legal fees, and leasing commissions, tenant improvement costs or other expenses in connection with leasing space in the Building, (vii) costs and expenses attributable to any personnel except to the extent the time and energies of such personnel are devoted exclusively to the Building, (viii) costs to remediate any Hazardous Materials existing on the Real Estate prior to the Commencement Date, or (ix) advertising and promotional expenses. Replacements of the original components of the Property shall be included in Operating Expenses; provided that the cost shall be amortized on a straightline basis over the useful life of the component as such useful life is reasonably determined by Landlord, unless this Lease expressly provides otherwise, and only the annual portion of such amortized cost that occurs during the Term (as may be extended) shall be included in Operating Expenses.
Landlord shall, each year during the Term of this Lease after the Rent Commencement Date, give Tenant an estimate of Property Taxes and Operating Expenses payable per square foot of rentable area for the coming calendar year. After written notice from Landlord setting forth an estimate of Property Taxes and Operating Expenses for a particular calendar year, Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Tenant’s Proportionate Share of such estimated Property Taxes and Operating Expenses. Tenant shall pay such estimate on the Tenant’s Proportionate Share of first day of each month until subsequently adjusted for the following year pursuant to this Section.
As soon as reasonably possible after the end of each calendar year, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a report setting forth the actual Property Taxes and Operating Expenses for the preceding calendar year (the “Report”). If Tenant’s estimated payments of Property Taxes and Operating Expenses exceed the amount due to Landlord for the calendar year in question, Landlord shall either refund any such amount to Tenant or apply any such amount as a credit against Tenant’s other obligations under this Lease. If Tenant’s estimated payment of Property Taxes and Operating Expenses are less than the amount due Landlord for the calendar year in question, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord such shortfall within thirty (30) days of receipt of such report.
No more than once per year, Tenant shall have the right to examine the books and records of the Landlord for the purpose of reviewing Landlord’s determination of the Property Taxes and Operating Expenses paid by Tenant under this section 3.2. If Tenant elects to complete such examination, it shall deliver written notice of such election within ninety
(90) days after receiving the Report and complete such examination within sixty (60) days thereafter. In the event any such inspection or audit indicates that Tenant has overpaid any charges under this Lease, Landlord shall credit such overpayment to the next charges due Landlord under this Lease or refund to Tenant if for the final year. In addition, if Landlord has overstated Operating Expenses by more than three percent (3%), then Landlord shall pay for Tenant’s cost of to conduct the audit. The Report shall otherwise be considered final and accepted by Tenant following Tenant’s examination of Landlord’s books and records or expiration of such ninety (90) day period without Tenant conducting such review. The provisions of this section shall survive termination or expiration of this Lease.
3.3    Late Charge. If the Base Rent or any other amount due under this Lease is not paid by the 5th day after its due date, Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge equal to 5% of the late



amount. Payment of the late charge shall not be construed to extend the date for payment or to relieve Tenant of its obligation to pay all amounts due under this Lease, and neither the demand for, nor the collection by, Landlord of a late charge shall be construed as a cure of Tenant’s default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any late payment charge hereunder on the first late payment during the Lease term.
3.4    Interest Charge. Any and all amounts due Landlord under this Lease and remaining unpaid for 30 days shall bear interest at the rate of 12% per year from the due date until paid. The payment of interest shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease.
3.5    Personal Property Taxes. Tenant agrees to timely pay, when due, all personal property taxes, whether assessed against Landlord or Tenant, on Tenant’s furniture, equipment and other items of personal property owned by Tenant and located in or about the Property.

8.7    In the event Tenant fails to maintain the Property as required in this Lease, Landlord shall give Tenant notice of the required work. In the event Tenant fails to promptly commence the work and diligently prosecute it to completion, then Landlord shall have the right to expend funds, at the expense of Tenant, as are reasonably required to perform the work.

10.3    Costs and Attorneys’ Fees. Tenant shall pay, upon demand, all Landlord’s reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred in enforcing Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.
10.4    Landlord’s Default. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default under this Lease until Tenant has provided Landlord written notice specifying the nature of the default and Landlord does not cure such default within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice or within such reasonable time thereafter as may be necessary to cure such default where such default is of such a character as to reasonably require more than thirty (30) days to cure, provided that Landlord promptly commence and diligently pursue such cure to completion. Notwithstanding any cure/grace periods provided for in this Lease, Landlord shall act immediately to cure any default on its part that results in any emergency constituting a threat of imminent damage to persons or property.
ARTICLE 11
CONDEMNATION AND PROPERTY DAMAGE
11.1    Condemnation.
11.1.1    Total Condemnation. If all or any portion of the Property, substantial enough to render the Property unsuitable for Tenant’s use, is taken or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or is sold or conveyed in lieu of condemnation, and Tenant determines that it cannot continue to conduct its business in the Property, then Tenant may terminate this Lease by providing written notice to Landlord, and this Lease shall terminate as of the date of the date of such taking. Any award made to Landlord for the taking or condemnation shall belong to Landlord; provided, however, Tenant shall be entitled to retain, any separate award made directly to Tenant for relocation benefits, loss in value of its leasehold interest, loss of goodwill, trade fixtures or other personal property owned by Tenant on the Property.
11.1.2    Partial Condemnation. If a portion of the Property is taken or condemned by any competent authority for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, or is sold or conveyed in lieu of condemnation, and this Lease is not terminated by Tenant,



as provided above, then this Lease shall continue, Landlord shall at its expense, restore the Building or Property as to near the condition which existed immediately prior to the date of taking as reasonably possible, and the Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be equitably adjusted according to the condemned square footage of the Property compared to the square footage of the Property.
11.2    Damage. In case of damage to the Property by fire, vandalism, malicious mischief or any other casualty, Landlord shall (unless this Lease is terminated as provided below) diligently proceed to make all the repairs necessary to restore any damaged improvements on the Real Estate (excluding any personal property of Tenant) to the condition in which they existed immediately prior to the destruction or damage, subject to delays which may arise by reason of adjustment of loss under insurance policies and delays beyond the reasonable control of Landlord.
Within 60 days after the date of the damage, Landlord shall deliver a written notice to Tenant detailing the time estimated by Landlord’s architect or general contractor to restore such damage. Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing of the termination within 60 days after the date of damage (the termination notice to include a termination date providing at least 90 days for Tenant to vacate the Property) if: (a) repairs to the Property cannot reasonably be completed within 180 days after the casualty without the payment of overtime or other premiums, (b) more than 40% of the Property is affected by the damage, or (c) any mortgagee of Landlord shall require that the insurance proceeds or any portion of the proceeds be used to retire any mortgage debt, or the damage is not fully covered by Landlord’s insurance policies; provided, however, as a condition to Landlord’s termination of this Lease, it shall also terminate all other leases in the Building.
If Landlord does not timely deliver a written notice electing to terminate this Lease as provided above and the estimate provides that the repairs to the Property cannot reasonably be completed within 180 days after the casualty without the payment of overtime or other premiums, Tenant shall also have the right to terminate this Lease by written notice to Landlord within 30 days after Landlord’s notice that it is not terminating this Lease (or the date of expiration of said 60 day period if Landlord fails to timely deliver a written notice of termination). If a portion of the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty, and this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall, to the extent of available insurance proceeds, restore the damaged improvements to as near the condition which existed immediately prior to such damage or destruction as is reasonably possible. In addition, Base Rent and Additional Rent shall abate during such period of time as Tenant is not reasonably able to conduct its business in the Property. If Tenant is unable to reasonably conducts its business in a portion of the Property, then during such period, Base Rent and Additional Rent shall abate in the proportion that the affected portion of the Property bears to the entire Property.



ARTICLE 12
MISCELLANEOUS
12.1    Subletting and Assignment. Tenant shall not sublet or assign any interest in this Lease to an unrelated third party without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may assign the Lease, sublet the Property or otherwise transfer Tenant’s interest under the Lease to: (i) any parent, affiliate or subsidiary entity of Tenant, (ii) any entity resulting from a merger, spin off or split up involving Tenant or its parent entity, if any, and (iii) any person or entity acquiring substantially all of Tenant’s assets or stock. Any such transfer shall not be subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.1, be prohibited or require Landlord’s consent (any such transfer being, a “Permitted Transfer”), provided Tenant shall furnish Landlord with written notice of such transfers within fifteen (15) days of the transfer and Tenant furnishes Landlord with a copy of the assignment or sublease agreement that is expressly subject to the terms of this Lease. Moreover, any Permitted Transfer must be for the Permitted Uses under this Lease and no part of the Property shall be further demised for such assignee or subtenant without Landlord’s prior written consent. Except for a Permitted Transfer, any sublease or assignment of this Lease shall not relieve Tenant of its obligations to Landlord. Any profits from a third-party sublease (other than a Permitted Transfer) shall be shared equally between Landlord and Tenant after Tenant’s actual and reasonable costs of subleasing have been first deducted, including market commissions, legal fees, tenant improvements and other concessions reasonably required to induce a subtenant.
12.2    Brokers. Each party hereto represents that it has not had any dealings with any real estate broker, finder or other person other than Tom Hayhoe of CBRE (“Landlord’s Broker”), representing Landlord, and Tim Olsen and Ben Copeland of Carlson Partners (collectively, “Tenant’s Broker”), representing Tenant, with respect to this Lease, and each party shall hold harmless the other from all damages or claims that may be asserted by any other broker, finder or other person with whom the indemnifying party has purportedly dealt with respect to this Lease. Landlord shall make commission payments to Landlord’s Broker and Tenant’s Broker in accordance with the terms of a separate agreement.
12.3    Environmental. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall comply with all laws and requirements of federal, state, county and municipal authorities pertaining to air and water quality, Hazardous Materials (as defined below), waste disposal, air emissions, pollution control, hazardous substances, and other environmental matters at the Property (collectively referred to as “Environmental Laws”). Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Materials to be kept or used in or about the Property, except for small quantities of Hazardous Materials as are necessary in the ordinary course of Tenant’s business, provided that Tenant shall handle, store, use and dispose of the Hazardous Materials in compliance with all applicable laws and the standards prevailing in the industry for the storage and use of those substances or materials, in a manner which is safe and does not contaminate the Property. Tenant shall immediately furnish Landlord with a copy or notice of any and all citations, orders, reports, subpoenas or requests regarding the Property from any federal, state or local governmental authority and a copy of any and all information, documents or reports submitted to any federal, state or local governmental authority by or on behalf of Tenant regarding an alleged violation of Environmental Laws at the Property. The term, “Hazardous Materials”, means any hazardous or toxic substance, material or waste, including, but not limited to, those substances, materials and wastes listed in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended (“CERCLA”), the Resource Conservation and recovery Act of 1976, as amended (“RCRA”), the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, as amended, or by the Environmental Protection Agency as hazardous substances (40 CFR Part 302) and amendments to those laws and regulations. For clarity, Tenant’s obligations under thisLease with respect to Hazardous Materials shall apply only in connection with, and to



the extent of, Hazardous Materials brought onto the Property by Tenant or Tenant’s sublessees or their respective employees, agents, invitees, licensees, or contractors during the Term of this Lease. Landlord represents and warrants that, to its knowledge, there are no existing violations of Environmental Laws or existing Hazardous Materials on the Property or subsurface as of the Commencement Date. Landlord shall be responsible for all remediation costs related to any existing violations of Environmental Laws or existing Hazardous Materials on the Property or subsurface prior to the Commencement Date. Landlord’s and Tenant’s representation and indemnity obligations under this Section 12.3 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
12.4    Waiver. The waiver by or failure of either party to take action with respect to any breach of any term, covenant or condition contained in this Lease, shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the term, covenant or condition, or subsequent breach of the same, or any other term, covenant, or condition. The subsequent acceptance of rent by Landlord shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding breach of Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rental so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of the preceding breach at the time of acceptance of the rent.
12.5    Warranty of Title and Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord warrants that it has title to the Property in fee simple, and that it has full right and authority to enter into this Lease. Landlord covenants and agrees that, so long as Tenant shall duly and punctually perform and observe all of its obligations under the Lease, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Property, without any hindrance or molestation from Landlord, or any other party.
12.6    Survival. The indemnification clauses set forth in this Lease and all obligations of Tenant under this Lease not fully performed as of the expiration or earlier termination of the Term shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term.
12.7    Landlord’s Right of Entry. Upon not less than 24 hours’ prior notice to Tenant (unless in the event of an emergency in which case no prior notice shall be required) Landlord, and the agents and employees of Landlord, may enter into and upon the Property during Tenant’s normal business hours for the purpose of inspecting them, and exercising any right or power reserved to Landlord under this Lease. The right of entry will be done in a manner so as not to interfere with Tenant’s use of, access to, or business operations at the Property, and must be done upon prior written request to Tenant and accompanied by a representative of Tenant. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize, to the extent practicable, any interference with Tenant’s use of, access to or operations and business in the Property for the Permitted Use. In addition, in connection with any entry by Landlord, Landlord’s representatives, agents, contractors, or any other party (a) Landlord shall repair any damage caused by such parties during any entry into the Property under this Section 12.7, (b) all of Tenant’s proprietary files and business information in the Property shall be deemed confidential and neither Landlord, nor any of Landlord’s employees, agents or contractors shall disclose any such information to any third party, and (c) Tenant may elect to accompany anyone entering the Property under this Section 12.7.
12.8    Subordination. This Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times to any mortgage placed upon or against the Property; provided that the mortgagee named in any such mortgage shall agree to recognize this Lease and not disturb Tenant’s rights hereunder in the event of foreclosure provided the Tenant is not in default beyond any applicable notice and cure period as set forth in this Lease. Tenant agrees that it will, within 20 days after receipt of Landlord’s written request, execute and deliver any commercially reasonable instrument as required by Landlord’s mortgagee to memorialize such agreement. Landlord shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a non-disturbance agreement from any mortgagee of the Property within 30 days following the Commencement Date;



provided, however, Landlord’s failure to obtain such non-disturbance agreement while using commercially reasonable efforts shall not constitute a default under this Lease. The non-disturbance agreement shall provide that Tenant’s possession of the Property will not be disturbed so long as Tenant is not in breach of this Lease and attorns to the record owner of the Property.
12.9    Estoppel Certificates. Tenant agrees that it will, within 20 days after receipt of the written request, execute and deliver a certificate certifying, to the extent it may do so, (i) that this Lease is in full force and effect; (ii) that rent due under this Lease has been paid; (iii) the dates to which rent an other charges have been paid and the amount of rent, if any, paid in advance by Tenant; (iv) whether this Lease has been modified and, if so, the identification of the modifications; (v) that Tenant has no knowledge of any existing default by Landlord; and (vi) other matters the requesting party may reasonably require.
12.10    Notices. All notices, demands and other communications to be given or delivered under or by reason of the provisions of this Lease will be in writing and email and will be deemed to have been given: (i) immediately when personally delivered; (ii) when received by first class mail, return receipt requested; (iii) one day after being sent for overnight delivery by Fed Ex or other overnight delivery service; or (iv) when receipt is acknowledged, either electronically or otherwise, if sent by facsimile or other electronic transmission device. Notices, demands and communications to the other Party will, unless another address is specified by the Party in writing, be sent to the addresses indicated below:
(i)to Landlord at the address set forth in Section 1.1;
(ii)to Tenant at the address set forth in Section 1.2
12.11    Governing Law. This Lease shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the state where the Property is located.
12.12    Binding Effect. The person or persons executing this Lease on behalf of both Landlord and Tenant represent and warrant that the execution has been fully authorized by all requisite action so that upon execution, this Lease will be binding upon and enforceable against both Landlord and Tenant in accordance with its terms.
12.13    Amendments In Writing. No amendment, modification, or alteration of this Lease is binding unless in writing, dated subsequent to the date of this Lease, and duly executed by the parties.
12.14    Limitation of Liability. The obligations of Landlord under this Lease are not personal obligations of the individual members, managers, directors, officers, shareholders, agents or employees of Landlord. Tenant shall look solely in Landlord’s interest in the Property for satisfaction of any liability of Landlord and shall not look to other assets of Landlord nor seek recourse against the assets of members, managers, directors, officers, shareholders, agents or employees of Landlord.
12.15    Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one instrument. Execution and delivery of this Lease by exchange of facsimile copies or electronically scanned and electronically mailed copies, bearing the signature or electronic signature of a party, shall constitute a valid and binding execution and delivery of this Lease by the party. Facsimile or electronically scanned copies shall constitute enforceable original documents.
12.16    Force Majeure. Landlord and Tenant will each be excused from performing any obligation hereunder for such period of time it is delayed from doing so by an act of god, inclement weather, war, civil commotion, casualty, terrorism, labor difficulties, newly-imposed



government regulations or orders, unforeseeable delays in obtaining governmental permits and approvals, including delays resulting from third-party appeals, or other causes beyond its reasonable control (“Force Majeure”). Nothing in this Lease shall excuse or permit delay of the time for Tenant to pay Base Rent, Additional Rent, or other money or to obtain and maintain insurance policies.
