WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant have entered into that certain Lease dated as of October 21, 2016, subsequently amended by the First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to Lease dated June 1, 2017 and Second Amendment to Lease dated as May 25, 2023 (collectively the “Lease”) for space in the building commonly known as 1001 3rd Avenue South, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55404 (the “Building”);
WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant have agreed to amend the Lease so as to permit (i) Landlord to gain access to certain space on the 4th Floor of the Premises and (ii) Tenant to abate Base Rent and Additional Rent with respect to certain space on the 4th Floor of the Premises for twelve (12) months as more fully described herein; and
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and in the Lease, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant hereby covenant and agree to amend and modify the Lease as follows:
1. DEFINED TERMS. Unless otherwise defined herein, terms used herein with initial capital letters shall have the same meanings assigned to such terms in the Lease.
2. RENT ABATEMENT FOURTH FLOOR.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if there is a default of the Lease by the Tenant during the Abatement Period after the expiration of any applicable cure period, the Abatement Period automatically ends, and no further rent shall be deemed abated and any rent that would have been abated shall be due and payable (and any Additional Rent and Base Rent that was abated prior to a default by the Tenant shall remain abated). For the avoidance of doubt, no rent shall be deemed abated for any portion of the premises other than the Abated Portion of the Premises.

It being understood that there is no obligation following such removal to replace the Solar Power System. In connection with such removal, Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord (and any of its agents and contractors) on account of any injury to persons or property caused by such removal (other than on account of the negligence of Landlord or its agents or contractors) and Tenant shall be responsible for any and all costs incurred by Landlord (other than on account of the negligence of Landlord or its agents or contractors) in connection with restoring the Building (including without limitation, the roof of the Building and all other parts of the Building which are affected by the installation of the Solar Panel System) to its condition as existed prior to Tenant’s installation of the Solar Panel System, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Second Amendment, from and after the Third Amendment Effective Date, the Tenant shall no longer have any right to install any Solar Panel Systems in or on the Building. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any reasonable and necessary preapproved costs or expenses incurred by Landlord (and shall pay any indemnity claims) within thirty (30) days of receipt of any invoice therefor, it being agreed that Tenant has preapproved such costs prior to this Third Amendment.

6. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. A determination that any provision of this Amendment is unenforceable or invalid shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision hereof, and any determination that the application of any provision of this Amendment to any person or circumstance is illegal or unenforceable shall not affect the enforceability or validity of such provision as it may apply to any other persons or circumstances.
