PREMISES, BUILDING, PROJECT, AND COMMON AREAS
Section 2.1Demise of Premises. Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord the Premises on the terms, covenants and conditions in this Lease. The Premises does not include the areas necessary for utilities, services, safety and operation of the Project, including the Building Systems, fire stairways, perimeter walls, space between the finished ceiling of the Premises and the slab of the floor or roof above (of, if there is no finished ceiling, the space forty-five (45) inches below the plaster layer on the slab above the Premises) (together with any other space below the slab of the floor or roof above occupied by Building Systems installed as of the Lease Date, the “Above Ceiling Space”); provided, that Tenant may hang fixtures and equipment in the Above Ceiling Space, including Tenant HVAC equipment that does not interfere with any Building Systems installed in in the Above Ceiling Space.
Section 2.2Historic Building. The Building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is designated a Minneapolis Landmark. Alterations to the Building must meet the United States Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation (the “Rehabilitation Standards”) and must be approved by the National Park Service and the Minnesota State Historic Preservation Office (such Service and Office and any successors thereto, collectively the “Historical Authorities”).
Section 2.3Common Areas. Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to use the Common Areas in common with others subject to compliance with the Rules and the provisions of this Lease. The Building will include a food hall serving tenants and the public. The Amenities shall be part of the Common Areas.
Section 2.4Space Measurement. The RSF of the Premises is as set forth in Section 1.1 of the Lease and is not subject to re-measurement. The rentable square footage of the Premises has been determined in accordance with a modified form of the American National Standards Institute/Building Owners and Managers Association International (“ANSI/BOMA) Form Z65.1-2010. Landlord may re-measure the Building from time to time and, upon Notice to Tenant Landlord’s new measurements shall be binding hereunder provided Landlord measures according to the same modified ANSI/BOMA standard or a more current modified ANSI/BOMA standard and further provided any such re-measurement shall not result in an increase in Base Rent or Additional Rent then set forth in this Lease for the balance of the then Term. As of the Lease Date, Tenant’s Share for Taxes and Operating Expenses is ratio of the RSF of the Premises divided by the 1,193,458, the RSF of the Building excluding any storage areas and roof top areas. For so long as the Project shall contain non-office uses, Landlord shall have the right (but not the obligation) to determine in accordance with sound accounting and management principles, Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Taxes for only the office portion of the
4


Building and Amenities, in which event, Tenant’s Share shall be based on the ratio of the rentable square footage of the Premises to the rentable square footage of the such office portion of the Building and the Amenities. Tenant’s Share shall change when space is added to or deleted from the Premises, additional floors or other additions are added to the Building and if Landlord ceases to own a portion of the Building after a subdivision or vertical separation and Landlord no longer has responsibility for the Operating Expenses and Taxes for the portion not owned by Landlord.
ARTICLE 3

TERM AND POSSESSION
Section 3.1Initial Term. The provisions of this Lease shall be effective on the Lease Date. The initial term of this Lease (the Initial Term”) shall commence on the Commencement Date and shall terminate on the Expiration Date unless this Lease is sooner terminated or extended in accordance with this Lease or an amendment to this Lease. The “Term” of this Lease means the Initial Term, as the same may be extended pursuant to the terms of this Lease or an amendment to this Lease. Within five (5) Business Days after request from Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a Notice in the form set forth in Exhibit C completed by Landlord as a confirmation only of the information set forth therein for the Premises or any space added to the Premises after the Lease Date. Tenant’s failure to execute such Notice shall be deemed an agreement by Tenant of the information set forth on such Notice.
Section 3.2Possession. Landlord shall tender vacant possession of the Premises to Tenant (the date of such tender of possession, the “Possession Date”). Tenant is fully aware of the condition of the Premises and Tenant shall accept possession of the Premises on the Possession Date in its “as is” condition. Except as provided in the Tenant Work Letter attached as Exhibit B (the “Tenant Work Letter”), Landlord has no obligation to perform, or provide funds to perform, any improvements, decorations, alterations, repairs or other work to prepare the Premises for Tenant’s use. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Possession Date to occur on or before July 1, 2023. Except as expressly provided in this Lease, Landlord shall not be liable for any Losses suffered by Tenant and this Lease and Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall not be affected or waived because Landlord is unable to tender possession of the Premises to Tenant or complete any work by any particular date. The Premises, the Building and the Project shall be deemed in good order, condition and repair at the time Tenant takes possession of the Premises subject to latent defects in the Base Building which Tenant discovers and notifies Landlord in writing within six (6) months of the Possession Date. Tenant shall perform all Alterations required for Tenant’s use of the Premises in accordance with the Tenant Work Letter.
ARTICLE 4

SPECIAL TENANT OPTIONS AND RIGHTS
Section 4.1Option to Extend Term. Tenant shall have the option to extend the then Term for all the then Premises only for the Extension Period on the terms and conditions of this Section 4.1. Tenant may exercise an option under this Section 4.1 only if: (i) Tenant has notified
5


Landlord in writing of its exercise of such option no earlier than eighteen (18) months (except as provided in Section 4.4) prior to and no later than nine (9) months prior to the then current Expiration Date, time being of the essence, (ii) at the time of the exercise of such option no uncured Event of Default then exists and (iii) the Tenant named herein or its Permitted Transferees shall then be in occupancy of the entire Premises. Tenant’s Notice of its exercise of the Extension Option shall be deemed irrevocable once delivered to Landlord. At Landlord’s option, Tenant’s exercise of a right to extend the term shall be null and void if an uncured Event of Default exists on the commencement of the Extension Period.
Each Extension Period shall be on all the then applicable terms, covenants, and conditions of this Lease except that: (i) Monthly Base Rent shall be as provided below, (ii) except for any Lease Concessions Landlord agrees to provide, Landlord shall have no obligation to perform any work or make any contribution to work to prepare the Premises for Tenant’s use during the Extension Period, (iii) the Expiration Date shall be the last day of the Extension Period and (iv) after the Extension Period, Tenant shall have no further right to extend the Term.
During the thirty (30) day period after Tenant exercises its right to extend the Term for an Extension Period (such period, the “Negotiation Period”) the parties shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the Market Rent and Lease Concessions for such Extension Period. If the parties are unable to agree upon the Market Rent and Lease Concessions during the Negotiation Period, then the Market Rent shall be determined pursuant to Section 4.3 and within five (5) Business Days after said Negotiation Period, Landlord shall give Notice to Tenant of the Lease Concessions, if any, to be provided by Landlord for the Extension Period. The Monthly Base Rent payable by Tenant for the Extension Period shall be one-twelfth (1/12) of the product of (i) the RSF of the Premises and (ii) the Market Rent determined by the parties or pursuant to Section 4.3.
After determination of the Market Rent, Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute and exchange an appropriate amendment to this Lease, reasonably satisfactory to the parties and confirming the terms, conditions and provisions applicable to the Premises during the Extension Period, but neither Landlord’s nor Tenant’s failure to execute such amendment shall relieve Tenant of its obligations under this Lease during the Extension Period.
Section 4.2Early Termination of the Lease. Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease on the Early Termination Date on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4.2. Tenant may exercise such right only if (i) no uncured Event of Default then exists, (ii) Tenant gives Landlord Notice of its exercise of such right at least nine (9) months prior to the Early Termination Date, time being of the essence and (iii) Tenant pays to Landlord with the exercise of such right the termination fee set forth below. Time is of the essence in the delivery of the Notice of termination and payment of the termination fee. At Landlord’s option, Tenant’s exercise of its termination right under this Section 4.2 shall be null and void if an Event of Default exists as of the Early Termination Date or if Tenant timely fails to pay timely the termination fee to Landlord. The early termination of the Lease under this Section 4.2 shall not affect Tenant’s liability for (x) post-termination adjustments to Additional Rent applicable to the period prior to the Early Termination Date, (y) unperformed obligations which accrued prior to the Early Termination Effective Date, and (z) obligations which by their terms survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term. The termination right in this Section 4.2 shall
6


automatically terminate and be null and void if this Lease or Tenant’s possession of the Premises is terminated.
The termination fee payable by Tenant under this Section 4.2 shall be an amount equal to one (1) times the Additional Rent payable for the month in which the Notice of termination is given. Landlord shall provide Tenant with the calculation of the termination fee within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s request for such calculation, provided, such request is delivered no more than twelve (12) months prior to the Early Termination Date.
Section 4.3Market Rent Determination. If Market Rent is to be determined pursuant to this Section 4.3, such Market Rent shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with the then prevailing Expedited Procedures of the American Arbitration Association or its successor for arbitration of commercial disputes, except that the Expedited Procedures shall be modified as follows:
(a)Within ten (10) Business Days after the expiration of the negotiation period, Landlord and Tenant shall each specify in a Notice delivered to the other party (the “Arbitration Notice”), the name and address of the person to act as the arbitrator on such party’s behalf and its determination of the Market Rent. Each arbitrator selected by Landlord and Tenant shall be a real estate broker with at least ten (10) years full-time commercial brokerage experience who is familiar with the Market Rent of comparable office space in the City of Minneapolis , Minnesota. If Landlord or Tenant fails to notify the other of the appointment of its arbitrator or of its determination of the Market Rent within such ten (10) Business Day period, and such failure continues for three (3) Business Days after a party delivers Notice to the other requesting the name of the other party’s arbitrator and its Market Rent determination, then the Market Rent determined by the party making such request shall be the Market Rent for the space and term in question.
(b)The two (2) arbitrators chosen pursuant to clause (a) above shall meet within ten (10) Business Days after the last arbitrator is appointed and shall seek to reach agreement on the Market Rent, provided that the Market Rent agreed upon by the arbitrators shall be no greater than the Market Rent set forth in Landlord’s arbitration Notice or less than the Market Rent set forth in Tenant’s arbitration Notice. The arbitrators shall not determine or change the Lease Concessions to be provided by Landlord and their determination of the Market Rent shall take into account such Lease Concessions. If within twenty (20) Business Days after the last arbitrator is appointed the two (2) arbitrators are unable to reach agreement on Market Rent, then the two arbitrators shall appoint a third arbitrator, who shall be a competent and impartial person with qualifications similar to those required of the first two arbitrators pursuant to clause (a). If they are unable to agree upon such appointment within five (5) Business Day period, the third arbitrator shall be selected by the parties themselves. If the parties do not agree on the third arbitrator within five (5) Business Days after expiration of the first (5) Business Day period, then either party, on behalf of both, may request appointment of such a qualified person by the then president of the Building Owners and Managers Association of Minneapolis. The third arbitrator shall decide the dispute, if it has not been previously resolved, by following the procedures set forth in clause (c) below. Each
7


party shall pay the fees and expenses of its respective arbitrator and both shall share the fees and expenses of the third arbitrator. Attorneys’ fees and expenses of counsel and of witnesses for the respective parties shall be paid by the respective party engaging such counsel or calling such witnesses.
(c)Concurrently with the appointment of the third arbitrator, each of the arbitrators selected by the parties shall state, in writing, his or her determination of the Market Rent supported by the reasons therefor, which determinations as to the arbitrator appointed by Landlord shall be no greater than the Market Rent set forth in Landlord’s arbitration Notice nor, as to the arbitrator appointed by Tenant, less than the Market Rent set forth in Tenant’s arbitration Notice. The third arbitrator shall have the right to consult experts and competent authorities for factual information or evidence pertaining to a determination of Market Rent, but any such determination shall be made in the presence of both parties with full right on their part to cross-examine. The third arbitrator shall conduct such hearings and investigations as he or she deems appropriate and shall, within thirty (30) days after being appointed, select which of the two proposed determinations most closely approximates his or her determination of Market Rent. The third arbitrator shall have no right to propose a middle ground or any modification of either of the two proposed determinations or the Lease Concessions to be provided by Landlord. The selection made by the arbitration Rent shall constitute the decision of the third arbitrator and shall be final. The third arbitrator shall render the decision in writing with counterpart copies to each party. The third arbitrator shall have no power to add to or modify the provisions of the Lease.
(d)In the event of a failure, refusal or inability of any arbitrator to act, his or her successor shall be appointed by him or her, but in the case of the third arbitrator, his or her successor shall be appointed in the same manner as that set forth herein with respect to the appointment of the original third arbitrator.
Section 4.4Right of First Offer. Tenant shall have a continuing right to lease the First Offer Space that is or will become Available on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 4.4. First Offer Space or any portion thereof shall only be “Available” if, at the time in question, no party leases or occupies such space, whether pursuant to a lease with Landlord or other agreement with Landlord and no party holds any unexpired or unexercised option or right to lease or occupy such space, or to renew or extend its lease or right of occupancy thereof. First Offer Space that is vacant and unleased as of the Lease Date shall not be deemed “Available” until such space subsequently becomes Available after Landlord first enters into a lease for such space after the Lease Date. Landlord shall be free to extend the tenancy or occupancy of any portion of the First Offer Space whether or not pursuant to a lease or other agreement, and such space shall not be deemed to be “Available”. Nothing in this Section 4.4 shall be deemed to limit Landlord’s right to keep First Offer Space vacant or to utilize such space for Project purposes if Landlord elects, in Landlord’s sole discretion, to do so prior to delivering a First Offer Notice, and such vacant space shall not be deemed Available. Space is not Available until Landlord intends to market such space for lease.
Landlord shall not lease any portion of the First Offer Space that is Available until Landlord delivers a Notice to Tenant of the availability of such space and Tenant does not
8


exercise its right under this Section 4.4 to lease such space. Landlord’s Notice shall include (i) a description of the portion of the First Offer Space that is Available for lease, (ii) the RSF in such space, (iii) the base rental rate per RSF for such space, (iv) the anticipated commencement of the lease of such space, (v) any Lease Concessions to be provided by Landlord, and (vi) any increase in the Letter of Credit Amount as a result of leasing the such space. Tenant may exercise its right to lease such space only by Notice delivered to Landlord within seven (7) days following the date delivery of Landlord’s Notice for such space, time being of the essence. Tenant may not elect to lease less than all the First Offer Space included in Landlord’s Notice and Tenant’s exercise of its right to lease the First Offer Space included in Landlord’s Notice shall be irrevocable.
If Landlord has received a letter of intent from a non-Affiliate to lease all or a portion of the First Offer Space and other space in the Building, Landlord may include such other space in Landlord’s Notice for the First Offer Space and Tenant’s option to lease the First Offer Space shall apply to all the space described in the First Offer Notice. In such case, if Tenant timely exercises its right to lease all of such space, then for the remaining purposes of this Lease such other space included in the Notice from Landlord shall be treated as First Offer Space.
If Tenant fails to deliver timely the Notice exercising its right to lease the First Offer Space included in Landlord’s Notice, Tenant shall be deemed to have rejected Landlord’s offer to lease such space, Landlord shall be free to lease such space on any terms and conditions and Tenant shall have no further to lease such space under this Section 4.4 until such space becomes available after Landlord leases such space. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not lease such space to a third party more than six (6) months after the end of the time period set forth above for Tenant to exercise its right to lease such space or on basic economic terms (including net rent, additional charges, tenant improvement allowances and other lease concessions) which, in aggregate, are less than ninety percent (90%) of the amount of such aggregate basic economic terms set forth in Landlord’s Notice to Tenant (all determined on a net effective rent basis using a discount rate of eight percent (8%) per annum), without again offering such space to Tenant for lease pursuant to this Section 4.4.
If Tenant timely exercises its right to lease the First Offer Space included in Landlord’s Notice, such space shall be added to the Premises and the Term shall commence for such space on the date Landlord tenders vacant possession of such space to Tenant. Tenant shall lease such space on all the terms and conditions of this Lease except (i) the Monthly Base Rent for such space shall be one twelfth (1/12th), of the product of the base rental rate for such space and the rentable square footage of such space set forth in Landlord’s Notice (which, absent manifest error, the parties agree shall be the rentable square footage of such space for all purposes of this Lease), (ii) Tenant’s Share shall be adjusted to reflect the additional space added to the Premises, (iii) Tenant shall receive the benefit of any Lease Concessions set forth in Landlord’s First Offer Notice (iv) Tenant shall lease such space in its then “as is” condition, and, except to the extent included in Lease Concessions, Landlord shall not be obligated to perform any work with respect thereto or make any contribution to Tenant to prepare such First Offer Space for Tenant’s occupancy and (v) the Letter of Credit Amount shall be increased as set forth Landlord’s Notice and Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an amendment to the Letter of Credit increase the amount thereof to the increased Letter of Credit Amount. Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute an amendment evidencing the leasing of each portion of the First Offer Space and the terms thereof
9


in a form reasonably satisfactory to both parties, (but no such agreement shall be necessary in order to make the provisions hereof effective.)
Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and tender to Tenant vacant possession of the First Offer Space leased by Tenant on the anticipated commencement date set forth in Landlord’s Notice but Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant and this Lease shall not be affected if Landlord is unable to tender possession of such space on any particular date.
Tenant’s rights under this Section 4.4 shall not apply and Landlord shall not be required to notify Tenant of its right to lease First Offer Space if any of the following conditions exist on the date Landlord is to deliver a Notice to Tenant or on the date such space is to be added to the Premises: (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, (ii) the Lease is not in full force and effect, (iii) a Transfer of this Lease has occurred other than a Permitted Transfer or a sublease of less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the rentable area of the Premises to subtenants that are not Permitted Transferees; (iv) less than three (3) years of the Term will remain after the date such space is to be added to the Premises unless Tenant has an Extension Option and Tenant exercises such Extension Option simultaneously with the exercise of the right to lease the First Offer Space or (v) Tenant has exercised its right under Section 4.2 to terminate the Lease or a right under Section Error! Reference source not found. to contract the Premises. At Landlord’s option, Tenant’s exercise of a right to lease First Offer Space shall be null and void if an uncured Event of Default exists on the anticipated commencement of the Lease for such space.
After the Lease Date, except in connection with an initial leasing of First Offer Space after the Lease Date, Landlord shall not grant any rights to any tenant or other third party to lease any portion of the First Offer Space unless such rights are subordinate to the rights granted Tenant hereunder, except to new tenants or occupants of such space after Landlord shall have offered such space to Tenant pursuant to this Section 4.4 and Tenant shall have declined the right to lease such space.
Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute an amendment evidencing the leasing of each portion of the First Offer Space and the terms thereof in a form reasonably satisfactory to both parties, but no such agreement shall be necessary in order to make the provisions hereof effective.
Section 4.5Signage. Tenant’s name will be included in the lobby’s digital directory should Landlord install a directory.
Section 4.6Rights Personal. The rights granted to Tenant pursuant this Article 4 (other than Section Error! Reference source not found.) are personal to the original named Tenant under this Lease and shall not be transferrable except to a Permitted Transferee.
ARTICLE 5
BASE RENT
Section 5.1Base Rent. Tenant shall pay the Monthly Base Rent to Landlord in advance on or before the first day of Lease Month. The Monthly Base Rent for the first full Lease Month shall be paid with Tenant’s execution and delivery of this Lease. The Monthly
10


Base Rent for any partial Lease Month shall be prorated based on the number of days in such month.
Section 5.2Additional Rent. Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s Share of Operating Expenses and Tenant’s Share of Taxes for each calendar year beginning or ending in the Term (collectively “Additional Rent”) as follows;
(a)Landlord may reasonably estimate in advance the Additional Rent Tenant owes for each calendar year beginning or ending in the Term. In such event, Tenant shall pay such estimated amounts in installments equal to one-twelfth of the annual estimate on or before the first day of each Lease Month in such calendar year with Tenant’s payment of Base Rent. Such estimate may be reasonably adjusted from time to time by Landlord.
(b)Within two hundred and seventy (270) days after the end of each such calendar year, or as soon thereafter as practicable, Landlord shall deliver a statement to Tenant (the “Statement”) showing: (a) the amount of actual Taxes and Operating Expenses for such calendar year, with a listing of amounts for major categories of Operating Expenses, (b) any amount paid by Tenant towards Additional Rent for such calendar year on an estimated basis, and (c) any revised estimate of Tenant’s obligations for Additional Rent for the current calendar year.
(c)If the Statement shows that Tenant’s estimated payments were less than Tenant’s actual obligation for Additional Rent for such year, Tenant shall pay the difference to Landlord. If the Statement shows an increase in Tenant’s estimated payments for the current calendar year, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference between the new and former estimates for the period from January 1 of the current calendar year through the month in which the Statement is sent. Tenant shall pay such amounts within thirty (30) days after Landlord sends the Statement to Tenant.
(d)If the Statement shows that Tenant’s estimated payments exceeded Tenant’s actual obligation for Additional Rent, Tenant shall receive a credit for the difference against payments of Rent then or next due and if the Lease has terminated any excess shall be refunded to Tenant. If the Term shall have expired and no further Rent shall be due, Landlord shall pay to Tenant the remaining difference within thirty (30) days after Landlord sends the Statement to Tenant.
(e)Provided Tenant’s obligations under this Lease are not materially adversely affected, Landlord reserves the right to reasonably change, from time to time, the manner or timing of the foregoing payments. In lieu of providing one Statement covering Taxes and Operating Expenses, Landlord may provide separate statements, at the same or different times. No delay by Landlord in providing the Statement (or separate Statements) shall be deemed a default by Landlord or a waiver of Landlord’s right to require payment of Tenant’s obligations for actual or estimated Taxes or Operating Expenses or to deliver a corrected Statement for a year.
(f)Upon receipt of a refund of Taxes for a calendar year included in the determination of Additional Rent, Landlord shall recalculate Tenant’s Share of Taxes for
11


such calendar year and any excess payment by Tenant shall be applied as a credit against Rent and if the Lease has terminated refund any excess to Tenant. If Taxes for a calendar year are increased after the Statement for such calendar year is delivered to Tenant, Landlord shall recalculate Tenant’s Share of Taxes for such calendar year and Tenant shall pay to Landlord any underpayment of Taxes within thirty (30) days after Landlord delivers to Tenant its invoice for such underpayment.
(g)A Statement shall be final unless Tenant objects to any cost or expense included in such Statement within one hundred twenty (120) days after the delivery of the Statement (such period the “Tenant Audit Period”). Tenant may inspect or audit Landlord’s records relating to Taxes and Operating Expense for a calendar year (a “Tenant Audit”) during the Tenant Audit Period for such calendar year; provided no Default then exists and Tenant has paid all Rent then due and payable by Tenant. Each Tenant Audit shall be conducted during the applicable Tenant Audit Period at the location where Landlord maintains its books and records (provided that Landlord shall make such books and records available in the Minneapolis metropolitan area), shall not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Landlord’s business, and shall be conducted only during business hours reasonably designated by Landlord. Tenant shall provide Landlord with ten (10) days prior written Notice of its intent to conduct a Tenant Audit and Tenant shall pay the cost of the Tenant Audit, provided that Landlord shall have thirty (30) days to provide Landlord’s records relating to Taxes and Operating Expenses for such Tenant Audit. Tenant may not conduct more than one Tenant Audit for a calendar year. Tenant shall provide Landlord with a copy of any report prepared for a Tenant Audit. If Tenant objects to any cost included in a Statement within the Audit Period for such Statement Tenant and the parties are unable to resolve such objection within thirty (30) days after the Tenant Audit Period, then either party may refer the dispute raised to one of the nationally recognized public accounting firms whose decision shall be conclusively binding upon Landlord and Tenant. Tenant shall pay the fees and expenses of the accountants described in the preceding sentence, unless such accounting firm determines that Landlord overstated Taxes or Operating Expenses by more than five percent (5%) for such calendar year, in which case Landlord shall pay such fees and expenses. If it is finally determined that Taxes or Operating Expenses were misstated on such Statement, then Landlord shall apply such overpayment of such costs as a credit against Rent and if the Lease has terminated refund any excess amounts to Tenant or Tenant shall pay to Landlord any underpayment of such costs, as the case may be, within thirty (30) days after notification thereof. Tenant shall maintain the results of any such audit or inspection confidential (except that Tenant may disclose such information to Tenant’s financial, legal, and tax consultants, or in connection with a legal or dispute resolution proceeding or as otherwise required by Requirements) and shall not be permitted to use any third party to perform such audit or inspection other than an independent firm of certified public accounts meeting the following requirements: (1) with at least ten (10) years of experience reviewing office building expense reconciliations, (2) that is not compensated on a contingency fee basis or in any other manner which is dependent upon the results of such audit or inspection (and Tenant shall deliver the fee agreement or other similar evidence of such fee agreement to Landlord upon request), and (3) that agrees with Landlord in writing to maintain the results of such audit or inspection confidential (subject to disclosure in connection with a legal or
12



dispute resolution proceeding or as otherwise required by Requirements). Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit, suspend, or abate Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent when due, including Additional Rent. Time is of the essence in the completion of the Tenant Audit and objection to any Statement.
(h)Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Lease to the contrary, during the Term, Tenant’s Share of Controllable Operating Expenses shall not increase in any calendar year by more than five percent (5%) per annum (calculated on a cumulative and compounded basis) over the Controllable Operating Expenses for calendar year 2023.

Any Transfer in contravention of the provisions of this Article 13 shall be void and shall constitute an incurable Event of Default. Landlord’s consent to any Transfer shall not relieve Tenant from the obligation to obtain Landlord’s consent to any further Transfer. In no event shall any Transferee assign or encumber its sublease or further sublet any portion of its sublet space, or otherwise suffer or permit any portion of the sublet space to be used or occupied by others. The listing of any name other than that of Tenant on the doors of the Premises, any Building directory or elsewhere shall not vest any right or interest in this Lease or in the Premises, nor be deemed to constitute Landlord’s consent to any Transfer. Any such listing shall constitute a privilege revocable in Landlord’s discretion by Notice to Tenant. Each Transfer shall be subject and subordinate to this Lease.
Section 13.3Consent to Assignment or Subletting. If no Event of Default then exists and if Landlord does not give a Recapture Notice as provided below, Landlord’s consent to a proposed assignment or sublease shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall be granted or denied no later than the date (“Transfer Approval Date”) which is thirty (30) days after delivery to Landlord of (i) a true and complete statement reasonably detailing the identity of the proposed Transferee, the nature of its business and its proposed use of the Premises, (ii) current financial information with respect to the Transferee, including its most recent financial statements, (iii) a copy of the fully executed assignment or sublease; and (iv) any other information Landlord may reasonably request. If Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to (A) a sublease of a portion of the Premises for a sublease term that is eighty percent (80%) or more of the remaining Term, (B) a sublease of eighty percent (80%) or more of the Premises or (C) an assignment of this Lease Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease (or in case of clause (A) to terminate the Lease for the portion of the Premises to be subleased) by Notice delivered to Tenant (“Recapture Notice”) on or prior to the Transfer Approval Date. Tenant
22


shall have five (5) days after receipt of the Recapture Notice to rescind in writing the proposed assignment or sublease, and, upon such rescission, the Transfer Notice and Recapture Notice shall be null and void. If the Recapture Notice is not rescinded (x) this Lease shall end and expire for the applicable portion of the Premises on the date such assignment or sublease by Tenant was to commence, or, if later, sixty (60) days after the date of the Recapture Notice unless Landlord agrees to such earlier date and upon any such termination. At Landlord’s request, Tenant shall enter into an amendment of this Lease confirming such total or partial termination, and the appropriate modifications to the terms and provisions hereof to reflect the reduction in the Premises including Base Rent and Tenant’s Share. Landlord shall not be deemed to have unreasonably withheld its consent if, in the reasonable judgment of Landlord: (i) the Transferee’s character or business is not consistent with the standards or criteria used by Landlord in leasing the Building; (ii) the Transferee does not have a sufficient financial condition to perform its obligations under this Lease or the sublease; (iii) the Transferees use of the Premises violates this Lease or the uses set forth in Appendix VI; or (iv) the Transferee is a tenant of the Building or an entity with which Landlord is actively negotiating a lease for space in the Building or a governmental entity or agency. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Consent Fee for any Transfer requiring Landlord’s consent whether or not Landlord consents to the Transfer or delivered a Recapture Notice or Tenant withdraws its request for consent after receipt of a Recapture Notice.
Section 13.4Conditions of Assignment and Subletting. Each Permitted Transfer and each sublease or assignment approved by Landlord shall be subject to the following:
(a)The form of the proposed assignment or sublease shall be reasonably satisfactory to Landlord; no sublease shall be for a term ending later than one day prior to the then Expiration Date; at Landlord’s request Tenant and the Transferee under a sublease that is not a Permitted Transfer shall execute Landlord’s customary consent form and the Transferee under an assignment shall assume all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord;
(b)If Tenant is in default under this Lease, Landlord may collect rent from the Transferee and apply the net amount collected to the Rent herein reserved without waiving any provisions of this Article 13 or consenting to the Transfer.
(c)Tenant has paid Landlord the Landlord Consent Fee for any Transfer other than a Permitted Transfer
(d)For each assignment or sublease that is not a Permitted Transfer Tenant shall pay to Landlord (A) in the case of an assignment, fifty percent (50%) of all sums and other consideration paid to Tenant by the Transferee for or by reason of such assignment after first deducting the reasonable third-party brokerage fees, legal fees and architectural fees and improvement allowances paid or to be paid by Tenant in connection with such Transfer (“Transaction Costs”) and, (B) in the case of a sublease, fifty percent (50%) of any consideration payable under the sublease to Tenant by the Transferee which exceeds on a per square foot basis the Base Rent and Additional Rent accruing during the term of the sublease for the sublet space after first deducting the monthly amortized amount of the Transaction Costs (which costs shall be deemed
23



amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the sublease). Tenant shall pay such amounts to Landlord monthly as and when paid by the Transferee to Tenant.
(e)Notwithstanding any Transfer or any acceptance of rent by Landlord from any Transferee, Tenant shall not be released from any liability under this Lease. A Transferee’s default under any term, covenant or condition of this Lease shall be a default by Tenant under this Lease.
Section 13.5No Money Damages. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to make, nor shall Tenant make, any claim, and Tenant hereby waives any claims, for money damages (nor shall Tenant claim any money damages by way of set-off counterclaim or defense) based upon any claim or assertion by Tenant that Landlord has unreasonably withheld or unreasonably delayed its consent or approval to a proposed assignment or subletting as provided for in this Article. Tenant’s sole remedy shall be an action or proceeding to enforce any such provision, or for specific performance, injunction or declaratory judgment.
Section 13.6Holdover by Transferee or User. If any Transferee, or other user of the Premises shall holdover in any portion of the Premises, any such holdover shall be deemed a holdover by Tenant and shall entitle Landlord to any and all of the holdover rights afforded to Landlord in this Lease.
ARTICLE 14

SURRENDER OF PREMISES

Tenant shall also remove from the Premises all debris and rubbish, all Tenant Property and all Specialty Alterations (“Tenant’s Removal Obligation”). All other Tenant Improvements whether installed by Tenant or Landlord shall be Landlord’s property and shall remain upon the Premises, all without compensation, allowance or credit to Tenant.

At Landlord’s option, any Tenant Property or Specialty Alterations not removed on the Expiration Date or within ten (10) days of the earlier termination of this Lease or Tenant’s possession of the Premises shall become the property of Landlord without compensation, allowance or credit to Tenant. No surrender of the Premises shall occur prior to the Expiration Date without the written consent of Landlord notwithstanding the delivery of keys or any other act of Landlord’s Parties. At Landlord’s option a surrender of the Premises prior to the Expiration Date shall be an assignment of the Lease or a sublease of the Premises and shall not be a merger of the estate of Tenant in the Premises with the estate of Landlord in the Project.
24


ARTICLE 15

HOLDING OVER
Tenant’s failure to surrender timely the Premises in accordance with Article 14 shall constitute a “Holdover” and unless Landlord expressly agrees otherwise in writing shall constitute a tenancy at sufferance only. Tenant shall pay to Landlord during the period of a Holdover Monthly Recurring Rent equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the amount of Monthly Recurring Rent for the last month of the Term for the first sixty (60) days of the Holdover and thereafter two hundred percent (200%) of such Monthly Recurring Rent for the last month of the Term determined without proration for partial months. In addition, Tenant shall be indemnify Landlord for all Losses sustained by Landlord as a result of the Holdover. This Article 15 shall not constitute permission for a Holdover or extend the Term or waive Landlord’s right to re-enter or obtain possession of the Premises as permitted under this Lease but all other provisions of this Lease shall apply to the Holdover.
ARTICLE 16

SUBORDINATION
This Lease is subject and subordinate to all present and future Mortgages (unless the Mortgage Holder requests otherwise) and to all other encumbrances against any part of the Project and all matters of record applicable to the Project.
Landlord will provide Tenant with an executed agreement from the Master Landlord in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (“Recognition Agreement”).

Tenant shall be responsible for any lender or related costs associated with obtaining an SNDA. If there is any conflict between an executed Recognition Agreement or SNDA and this Article 16, such Recognition Agreement or SNDA shall control.

As long as any Mortgage is outstanding, Tenant agrees that Tenant shall not cancel, surrender, terminate, assign, amend or modify, or enter into any agreement to cancel, surrender, terminate, assign, amend or modify the Lease, without the prior written approval of each Security Holder. In the event of any default on the part of Landlord, arising out of or accruing under the Lease, whereby the validity or the continued existence of the Lease might be impaired or terminated by Tenant, or Tenant might have a claim for partial or total eviction, Tenant shall not pursue any of its rights with respect to such default or claim, and no notice of termination of the Lease as a result of such default shall be effective, unless and until Tenant has given Notice of such default or claim to the Security Holder (but not later than the time that Tenant notifies Landlord of such default or claim) and granted to such Security Holder a reasonable time, which shall not be less than the greater of (i) the period of time granted to Landlord under the Lease, or (ii) thirty (30) days, after the giving of such Notice by Tenant to such Security Holder, to cure or to undertake the elimination of the basis for such default or claim, after the time when Landlord shall have become entitled under the Lease to cure the cause of such default or claim; it being expressly understood that (a) if such default or claim cannot reasonably be cured within such cure period, such Security Holder shall have such additional period of time to cure same as it reasonably determines is necessary, so long as it continues to pursue such cure with reasonable diligence, and (b) such Security Holder’s right to cure any such default or claim shall not be deemed to create any obligation for such Security Holder to cure or to undertake the elimination of any such default or claim. Tenant waives the provisions of any current or future statute, rule or law which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of the Tenant hereunder in the event of any foreclosure proceeding or sale.

ARTICLE 18

Section 18.2Landlord Remedies. Upon any Event of Default, Landlord shall have the following remedies in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity (all of which remedies shall be distinct, separate and cumulative) exercisable without any notice or demand whatsoever:
29


(a)Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim or damages therefor; and Landlord may recover from Tenant (i) all accrued and unpaid rent through the date of termination, (ii) the amount by which the present value of the unpaid rent for the balance of the Lease Term exceeds the present value of Market Rent for the remaining Term (the present value determined use a discount rate equal to the annual yield on the United States Treasury bonds, notes or bills maturing nearest to the Expiration Date as selected by Landlord), (iii) all Losses arising from Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including Leasing Costs and advertising expenses incurred in reletting the Premises to a new tenant and any Recurring Rent for the period from the termination of the Lease until the Premises are relet and (iv) such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable Requirements.
(b)Terminate Tenant’s right of possession, without terminating this Lease or releasing Tenant from its obligations hereunder, and enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, by any lawful means.

(c)to seek any declaratory, injunctive or other equitable relief, and specifically enforce this Lease, or restrain or enjoin a violation or breach of any provision hereof.
30


No act or omission by Landlord shall be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, or accept a surrender of the Premises, nor shall the same operate to release Tenant in whole or in part from any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, unless Notice of such intention is sent by Landlord or its agent to Tenant. Tenant hereby irrevocably waives any right otherwise available under any law to redeem or reinstate this Lease.
ARTICLE 19

LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO CURE
If Tenant shall fail to perform any obligation under this Lease, including any Repairs, Tenant Removable Obligations or obligations regarding insurance, Mechanics Liens or Hazardous Materials, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, make any such payment or perform any such act on Tenant’s part without waiving its rights based upon any default of Tenant and without releasing Tenant from any obligations hereunder, (a) immediately, and without notice, in the case of emergency or if the default (i) materially interferes with the use by any other tenant of the Building, (ii) materially interferes with the efficient operation of the Building, (iii) results in a violation of any applicable Requirements, or (iv) results or will result in a cancellation of any insurance policy maintained by Landlord, and (b) in any other case if such default continues for ten (10) days after the date Landlord gives Notice of Landlord’s intention to perform the defaulted obligation.

Tenant’s obligations under this Article 19 shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Term.
ARTICLE 20

LANDLORD’S DEFAULT
If Landlord shall fail to perform any term or provision under this Lease required to be performed by Landlord, Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default hereunder nor subject to any claims for damages of any kind, unless such failure shall have continued for a period of thirty (30) days after Notice thereof by Tenant (or, if such failure relates to a monetary obligation of Landlord, then five (5) Business Days after Notice thereof by Tenant); provided, if the nature of Landlord’s failure is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required in order to cure, Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences to cure such failure within such thirty (30) day period, and thereafter reasonably seeks to cure such failure to completion. The aforementioned periods of time permitted for Landlord to cure shall be extended for any period of time during which Landlord is delayed in, or prevented from, curing due to Force Majeure Delays. If Landlord shall fail to cure within the times permitted for cure herein, Landlord shall
31


be subject to such remedies as may be available to Tenant (subject to the other provisions of this Lease); provided Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease and, in recognition that Landlord must receive timely payments of Rent and operate the Project, Tenant shall have no right of self-help to perform repairs or any other obligation of Landlord, and shall have no right to withhold, set-off, or abate Rent.
ARTICLE 21

LANDLORD FEES AND OTHER CHARGES
Section 21.1Interest and Late Fees. Tenant shall pay Landlord a service charge equal to five percent (5%) of the amount past due for bookkeeping and administrative expenses if Rent is not received within ten (10) days after Landlord delivers Notice to Tenant of Tenant’s failure to pay Rent when due. In addition, any Rent paid more than ten (10) days after Landlord delivers Notice to Tenant of Tenant’s failure to pay Rent when due shall accrue interest from the due date until payment is received by Landlord at the Prime Rate plus five percent (5%) (the “Default Rate”). Such service charge and interest payments shall not be deemed consent by Landlord to late payments, nor a waiver of Landlord’s right to insist upon timely payments at any time, nor a waiver of any remedies to which Landlord is entitled as a result of the late payment of Rent. The exercise of any remedy by Landlord shall not be deemed an election of remedies or preclude Landlord from exercising any other remedies in the future.
Section 21.2Consent Fees. If Tenant requests Landlord’s consent or approval to any matter, Tenant shall pay Landlord a fee (collectively, the “Consent Fees”) equal to the out-of-pocket costs payable to third parties and incurred and/or expected to be incurred in connection with the consent or approval, including reasonable attorneys’, engineers’, accountants’ or architects’ fees plus $500.00 for any requested consent to any matter other than a consent to Alterations and Tenant Work. The Consent Fee shall be paid whether or not Landlord grants its consent. Landlord shall have no obligation to consider any request for consent or approval until the Consent Fees (or Landlord’s estimates thereof) have been paid to Landlord.
Section 21.3Administrative Charges. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, Landlord’s standard administrative charge (“Administrative Charge”) for any Alteration performed by Tenant or any Repair, Alteration or other with any action which Tenant requests Landlord to perform or which Landlord performs pursuant to Article 19. The Administrative Charge for such work performed by Landlord shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) (twenty percent (20%) if the actual costs are less than $2,500) of the actual costs incurred by Landlord with respect to the matter in question. The Administrative Charge for Alterations performed by Tenant shall not exceed three percent (3%) of the cost of such Alterations. Payment of the Administrative Charge shall not obligate Landlord to undertake any action not specifically required of Landlord pursuant to the terms of this Lease. Landlord shall have no obligation to commence or complete such action until the appropriate fees (or Landlord’s estimates thereof) have been paid to Landlord. Tenant’s payment of the fees hereunder in no way entitles Tenant to Landlord’s consent or approval nor shall Tenant’s offer to pay the same require Landlord to perform any work not specifically required of Landlord under this Lease.
32


ARTICLE 22

NONWAIVER
No provision of this Lease will be deemed waived by either party unless expressly waived in writing signed by the waiving party. No waiver shall be implied by delay or any other act or omission of either party. No waiver by either party of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed a waiver of such provision with respect to any subsequent matter relating to such provision, and Landlord’s consent or approval respecting any action by Tenant shall not constitute a waiver of the requirement for obtaining Landlord’s consent or approval respecting any subsequent action. Acceptance of Rent by Landlord shall not constitute a waiver of any breach by Tenant of any term or provision of this Lease. Landlord’s acceptance of an amount less than the Rent set forth in this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of Landlord’s right to receive the full amount due, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or payment or any letter accompanying such check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the full amount due. The acceptance of Rent or of the performance of any other term or provision from any Person other than Tenant, including any Transferee, shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to approve any Transfer.
ARTICLE 23

LETTER OF CREDIT
Concurrently with Tenant’s execution of the Lease, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord a letter of credit in the Letter of Credit Amount meeting the requirements set forth below (the “Letter of Credit”), as security for the faithful performance and observance by Tenant of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. If an Event of Default occurs or if Tenant fails to pay any Rent as and when due, Landlord may draw on the Letter of Credit or apply or retain Security Deposit (as defined below), in whole or in part, to the extent required for the payment of (a) any Rent due from Tenant, (b) any sum which Landlord may expend or may be required to expend by reason of the Default, and (c) any damages to which Landlord is entitled pursuant to this Lease.
