GENERAL LEASE CONDITIONS
1. INCORPORATION. These General Lease Conditions are incorporated in and made part of the Office Building Lease—Basic Lease Terms, to which these General Lease Conditions are attached (“Lease”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in these General Lease Conditions shall have the meaning set forth in the Basic Lease Terms.
2. PREMISES. Landlord does hereby lease to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases from Landlord that certain office space (herein called “Premises”) described in Section “E” of the Basic Lease Terms and as depicted on Exhibit A attached hereto. Tenant’s lease of the Premises is subject to the terms, covenants, and conditions herein set forth. Tenant shall be granted access to the Premises, the Building, the Common Areas (as defined below), the Parking Areas (as defined below), and, if applicable, the Rooftop Deck (defined below) twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week, every day of the year. The parties hereby enter into this Lease in consideration of the duties, covenants, and obligations of the other party hereunder. Landlord and Tenant expressly agree to keep, observe, and perform each and all of their respective terms, covenants, restrictions, and conditions contained herein. This Lease is made upon the condition of said performance.
3. TERM. Subject to Section 4.b. below, the term of this Lease (“Term”) shall be for the period designated in Section “F” of the Basic Lease Terms. The Commencement Date shall be, and Tenant’s obligation to pay rent will commence upon, the earlier of (a) the date upon which Tenant first commences to conduct business in the Premises and (b) subject to Section 4.b. below, October 1, 2010.
4. POSSESSION.
4.a. Landlord shall deliver exclusive possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before July 1, 2010 (“Delivery Date”). During the period between the Delivery Date and the Commencement Date (the “Early Access Period”), Tenant shall construct improvements (“Initial Improvements”) and install Tenant’s furniture, fixtures and equipment. Tenant’s access to the Premises during the Early Access Period shall be subject to all terms and conditions of this Lease, except that Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Rent during the Early Access Period until the Commencement Date.
4.b. If for any reason whatsoever, Landlord cannot deliver exclusive possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before the Delivery Date, then there shall be an extension of the Commencement Date for a period equal to the number of days between the Delivery Date and the date upon which Landlord delivers exclusive possession of the Premises to Tenant. Upon the occurrence of such a delay in the Commencement Date, the Expiration Date shall be extended to such date that the Term of the Lease shall be one hundred twenty-six (126) months. If Landlord fails to deliver exclusive possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before the Delivery Date, then the Commencement Date shall be deemed to be the date that is ninety (90) days from the date
Page 4 of 43
on which Landlord delivers possession. In the event Landlord fails to deliver exclusive possession of the Premises to Tenant on or before October 1, 2010, then Tenant, by written notice to Landlord, may terminate this Lease, in which event Landlord shall immediately return any monies paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to this Lease, and neither party shall have any further right or obligation hereunder.
5. BASE RENT. Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as monthly rental on the first day of each month without prior notice or demand, the sum set forth in Section “G” of the Basic Lease Terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as set forth in Section 43 of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to an offset in Base Rent equal to the actual and documented amount of expenses Tenant incurs in connection with the Building Renovation (as defined in Section 43 of this Lease) up to a sum of One Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($150,000.00), as and when applicable. Subject to the foregoing offset right, Tenant shall pay Base Rent in advance on the first business day of each and every calendar month during said Term, except that the Base Rent for the first month after the Free Rent Period shall be paid concurrently with the execution hereof. Rent for any period during the term hereof which is for less than one (1) month shall be a prorated portion of the monthly installment herein, based upon a 30 day month. Said rental shall be paid to Landlord without deduction or offset, in lawful money of the United States of America, at 4212 Solutions Center, Lockbox 774212, Chicago, IL 60677-47003, or to such other person or at such other place as Landlord may from time to time designate in writing.

Page 6 of 43
Building; overhead and profit increment paid to Landlord or to subsidiaries or affiliates of Landlord for services in the Building to the extent the same exceeds the costs of such services rendered by qualified, first-class unaffiliated third parties on a competitive basis; and items and services which Landlord provides selectively to one or more tenants.
Taxes: “Taxes” shall mean any form of real estate tax or assessment or service payment in lieu thereof, and any license fee, commercial rental tax, franchise tax, improvement bond or other similar charge or tax (other than inheritance, personal income or estate taxes) imposed upon the Building or Common Areas or against machinery, equipment or other personal property of Landlord used in connection with the operation and maintenance of the Building, or against Landlord’s business of leasing the building by any authority having the power to so charge or tax, together with reasonable costs and expenses of contesting the validity or amount of the Taxes. “Taxes” excludes any penalties, fines, interest, or charges due for late payment of Taxes by Landlord.
If the Expenses or Taxes paid or incurred by Landlord for any Comparison Year are in excess of the Expenses or Taxes paid or incurred for the Base Year, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s pro rata share of the amount by which Expenses and Taxes in the Comparison Year exceed Expenses and Taxes from the Base Year (“Tenant’s Pro Rata Share”) (as set forth in Section “K” of the Basic Lease Terms). Tenant’s Pro Rata Share represents that portion of the rentable area of the Building occupied by the Tenant hereunder, divided by a figure equal to the net rentable area of the Building. Notwithstanding the foregoing, annual increases in “Controllable Expenses” shall not exceed four point five percent (4.5%), cumulative and compounded of the amount of Controllable Expenses for the preceding year. Controllable Expenses are defined as landscape maintenance costs (excluding snow removal), administrative fees, and wages and related employee benefits payable for all personnel whose wages and employee benefits are included in Expenses.
On or before April 1 of the calendar year following each Comparison Year, Landlord shall use its best efforts to give to Tenant a statement for Tenant’s Pro Rata Share (“Expense and Tax Statement”), but failure by Landlord to give such Expense and Tax Statement by said date shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of its right to recover amounts due hereunder. Upon receipt of such Expense and Tax Statement, Tenant shall pay in full the total amount of charges due thereunder. In addition, the amount of such charges shall be used as an estimate for the then current Comparison Year and this amount may be divided into monthly installments and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, concurrently with the regular monthly rent payment next due, an amount equal to the monthly installment of such estimated charges. If any Comparison Year results in a greater increase in Expenses or Taxes than estimated, then upon receipt of the Expense and Tax Statement from Landlord, Tenant shall pay a lump sum equal to such total increase in Expenses and Taxes over the estimated increase, and the estimated monthly installments to be paid for the next year shall be adjusted to reflect such increase. If in any Comparison Year, Tenant’s share of Expenses or Taxes is less than the amount of estimated payments actually paid by Tenant for such Comparison Year, then any overpayment made by Tenant shall be credited towards the next monthly rent falling due. Even though the Term has expired and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant’s share of Expenses and Taxes for the year in which this Lease terminates, Tenant shall immediately pay any amount due.
Page 7 of 43
In determining Expenses for any calendar year, if, at any time during such calendar year, less than one hundred percent (100%) of the total rentable square footage of the office portion of the Building was occupied by tenants, Expenses shall be equitably adjusted upward to reflect the amount that Expenses would have been, in Landlord’s reasonable estimate, had occupancy of the office portion of the Building been one hundred percent (100%) throughout such calendar year. This same treatment shall be equitably applied to the Base Year.
Landlord shall at all times during the Term of the Lease maintain full, complete and accurate books of account and records prepared in accordance with customary accounting principles with respect to the Expenses, as well as contracts, bills, vouchers and checks, and such other documents as are reasonably necessary to properly audit Expenses. Within thirty (30) days after receipt by Tenant of an Expense and Tax Statement for any prior calendar- year during the Term, Tenant or its authorized representative shall have the right to inspect such books and records of Landlord upon reasonable notice and during the business hours of Landlord at Landlord’s office in the Building, or, at Landlord’s option, at such other location in the Indianapolis area as Landlord reasonably may specify, for the purpose of auditing Expenses during the immediately preceding year. If Tenant’s audit (which, in order for the provisions of this sentence to apply, shall be conducted by a professional, third party auditor not compensated based on the amount of discrepancy) reveals a discrepancy in Expenses, any underpayment by Tenant shall be paid to Landlord within thirty (30) days and any overpayment by Tenant shall be refunded to Tenant within thirty (30) days. In the event Tenant’s audit reveals a discrepancy in Expenses in Tenant’s favor by ten percent (10%) or more, then Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for Tenant’s actual reasonable audit costs at the same time that the refund payment is made to Tenant not to exceed $5,000.00. In the event that Tenant fails to give Landlord written notice requesting the right to inspect Landlord’s books and records and commence such inspection within ninety (90) days after receipt by Tenant of the Expense and Tax Statement for the prior calendar year, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Expense and Tax Statement as true and correct and shall thereafter have no right to audit the books and records of Landlord for the applicable period.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section, the rental payable by Tenant shall in no event be less than the Base Rent specified in Section “G” of the Basic Lease Terms. This Section 7 shall survive the expiration or any earlier termination of this Lease.

8.a. Tenant may use the Premises only for the purpose set forth in Section “L” of the Basic Lease Terms and shall not use or permit the Premises to be used for any other purpose without the prior written consent of Landlord.

Tenant acknowledges and understands that the Building of which the Premises are a part is a “non-smoking” building. The use of any tobacco or other smoking product is strictly prohibited within the Premises and/or the Building. Tenant shall be solely responsible for enforcing this requirement among its employees, visitors and invitees. Any violation of this requirement shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a breach of this Lease.
8.d. Except as set forth in Section 33 of this Lease, Tenant shall not install, display or permit any sign, identification, notice, circular, advertisement or decoration which may be seen, observed, heard or experienced outside of the Premises without, in each case, Landlord’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.
8.e. Tenant covenants and agrees that it will not use, keep or suffer to be kept, or generate or store any hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants (collectively, “Hazardous Substances”) in, upon or about the Premises or the Building, Tenant shall promptly remove and clean up any Hazardous Substance brought onto or about the Premises or the Building in violation of this provision. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord for all costs and expenses including reasonable attorney’s fees and court costs incurred by Landlord in connection with any claim or suit for damages or injuries resulting from any Hazardous Substances used, kept, generated or stored by Tenant on the Premises or Building or to correct any violation of this covenant, or to remove, neutralize or render harmless any Hazardous Substance or to comply with the requirements of any regulatory body having jurisdiction over Hazardous Substances, or to contest the actions of any such regulatory body with respect to the Building. Tenant’s indemnity obligation hereunder shall survive the expiration or earlier tennination of this Lease. In the event of a breach of this covenant, then in addition to any other remedies available to Landlord, Landlord at its sole option may declare Tenant to be immediately in default hereof and in forfeiture of its rights to occupy the Premises under this Lease, and may cause Tenant to be immediately removed from the Premises, which events shall not release Tenant from its covenant to pay rent or otherwise relieve Tenant from any monetary obligation under this Lease.
8.f. Tenant acknowledges that all hallways, restrooms, parking areas, elevators, and other common areas of the Building (i.e. all areas outside of the demising walls of the Premises) (the “Common Areas”) as well as all portions of the Premises which may be seen from outside the Premises, such as exterior surfaces of doors to the Premises, exterior windows and the like are subject to the control of Landlord. Tenant shall not modify, deface, xxxx upon, affix any sign to, or otherwise use any of said areas without the express prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.
Page 9 of 43
8.g. Tenant acknowledges that any modification, penetration or alteration to a fire-rated door, doorframe or other fire-rated structures may cause such improvements to lose their fire-rating. Tenant shall be responsible for any charge or cost incurred by Landlord in correcting or repairing any damage done to such improvements by Tenant or on its behalf In particular, Tenant shall not install any locks, deadbolts or other penetration of such doors or frames without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.
9. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW. Tenant shall not use the Premises or permit anything to be done in or about the Premises which will in any way conflict with any law, statute, ordinance or governmental rule or regulation now in force or which may hereafter be enacted or promulgated. Tenant shall comply at Tenant’s sole cost with any direction of any governmental authority having jurisdiction which shall, by reason of the nature of Tenant’s specific use of the Premises (as opposed to office use in general), impose any duty upon Tenant or Landlord with respect to the Premises or with respect to the use or occupation thereof. The judgment of any court of competent jurisdiction or the admission of Tenant in any action against Tenant, whether Landlord be a party thereto or not, that Tenant has violated any law, statute, ordinance or governmental rule, regulation or requirement, shall be conclusive of that fact as between the Landlord and Tenant.
10. ALTERATIONS AND ADDITIONS.
10.a. Except for non-structural, interior changes that do not cost in the aggregate more than $3,000 in any calendar year, which changes shall not require the prior consent of Landlord or the delivery of plans and specifications to Landlord, before proceeding with any change (exclusive only of changes to items constituting Tenant’s personal property), Tenant shall submit to Landlord plans and specifications for the work to be done, which shall in all cases require Landlord’s prior written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. In the event Landlord consents to the making of any alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises by Tenant, the same shall be made by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense in accordance with all building code and other governmental requirements and pursuant to any required permits or licenses. Any contractor or person selected by Tenant to make the same must be qualified, licensed and first approved of in writing by the Landlord. All articles of personal property and all business and trade fixtures, machinery and equipment, furniture and movable partitions owned by Tenant or installed by Tenant at its expense in the Premises shall be and remain the property of Tenant. Tenant may remove such items at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant shall forthwith and with all due diligence remove any wiring or cabling installed in the Premises or in shafts, ducts or portions of the Common Areas, and Tenant shall, forthwith and with all due diligence at its sole cost and expense, repair any damage to the Premises caused by such removal. Tenant shall restore and repair all damage to the Premises caused by such removal, and shall otherwise perform such removal in accordance with Landlord’s reasonably imposed scheduling and other requirements. If Tenant shall fail to remove all of its effects from said Premises upon termination of this Lease for any cause whatsoever, Landlord may, at its option, remove and store the same in the manner required by law. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord upon demand any and all reasonable expenses incurred in such removal, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and storage charges on such effects for any length of time that the same shall be in Landlord’s possession, or Landlord may, at its option, sell said effects in the manner permitted by law. In no event shall Tenant be required to remove the Initial Improvements.
Page 10 of 43
10.b. Except as provided in Section 11 and Section 22 of this Lease, Landlord shall not be responsible for making any improvements, changes, alterations or additions to the Premises either prior to or during the Term.
11. REPAIRS.
11.a. By taking possession of the Premises, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Premises as being in good, sanitary order, condition and repair and Tenant accepts same “as is”. Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, keep the Premises and every part thereof in substantially the same condition and repair as exists as of the Commencement Date, excepting ordinary wear and tear and Landlord’s repair obligations under the Lease. The foregoing maintenance and repair obligations of Tenant include all non-structural facilities exclusively serving the Premises, including without limitation, all interior electrical and plumbing, all telephone, computer and electronic equipment and lines, carpeting and floor coverings, wall coverings, ceilings and ceiling tiles, paint, doors, locks, and repairs required as a result of forced entry of the Premises and interior lighting and fixtures. Tenant shall also be solely responsible for the repair and maintenance of all fixtures, furniture or equipment brought onto the Premises by Tenant.
11.b. Tenant understands that any required or requested services by Tenant (excluding normal and customary janitorial and security services to be provided by Landlord hereunder) by Building personnel at the Premises shall be at Landlord’s reasonable discretion and prior approval and at Tenant’s cost and expense. Landlord shall charge and xxxx Tenant for all such services, including materials, at rates determined by Landlord from time to time. Tenant shall pay for all such services promptly following receipt of Landlord’s invoice therefore.
11.c. Subject to the provisions of Section 22, Landlord shall repair and maintain the structural portions of the Building, the Common Areas, and the Parking Areas, including but not limited to main plumbing and utility lines, air conditioning, heating, and electrical systems, installed or furnished by Landlord, unless such maintenance and repairs are caused in part or in whole by the negligence of Tenant, its agents, servants, employees or invitees, in which case Tenant shall pay to Landlord the reasonable cost of such maintenance and repairs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall be responsible for maintaining and clearing all sewer and plumbing lines connected to facilities or systems in the Premises, unless such obstructions shall occur in a building-wide main.
11.d. Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to make any such repairs or to perform any maintenance unless such failure shall persist for an unreasonable time (but in no event less than 48 hours) after written notice of the need of such repairs or maintenance is given to Landlord by Tenant. Except as provided in Section 22 hereof, there shall be no abatement of rent and no liability of Landlord by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations or improvements in or to any portion of the Building or the Premises or in or to fixtures, appurtenance and equipment therein. Except as provided in Section 23.d. of this Lease, Tenant waives the right to make repairs at Landlord’s expense under any law, statute or ordinance now or hereafter in effect.
Page 11 of 43
11.e. Tenant shall upon the expiration or sooner tenranation of this Lease surrender the Premises to the Landlord in substantially the same condition as when received but subject to other terms of this Lease, reasonable wear and tear and Landlord’s repair obligations under this Lease excepted.
11.f. Except as provided in Section 23.d. of this Lease, Tenant shall have no right to repair or contract for any repairs or maintenance at Landlord’s expense without Landlord’s prior written consent. Any such repairs performed by Tenant or by Tenant’s agent at Tenant’s request without Landlord’s prior written approval shall be at Tenant’s sole expense, except where such repairs are made pursuant to Section 23.d. of this Lease.
12. LIENS. Tenants shall keep the Premises and the property of which the Premises are a part free from any liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by Tenant. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Lease to the contrary, if any such liens are filed and not discharged or bonded over, provided such bond removes any cloud on Landlord’s title, by Tenant within 20 days of such filing, Landlord may, without waiving its rights and remedies based on such breach of Tenant and without releasing Tenant from any of its obligations, cause such liens to be released by any means it shall deem proper, including payment in satisfaction of the claim, giving rise to such lien. Thereafter Tenant shall promptly pay to Landlord, upon notice by Landlord, any sum paid by Landlord to remove such liens, together with interest at the maximum rate per annum permitted by law from the date of such payment by Landlord.
13. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. Except as expressly provided below, Tenant shall not voluntarily assign its interest in this Lease or sublet the Premises, or allow any other person or entity to occupy or use all or any part of the Premises, without first obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed (the foregoing assignments or sublets are hereinafter sometimes referred to as “Transfer(s)”). Any Transfer without Landlord’s prior written consent shall be voidable, at Landlord’s election.
13.a. Tenant shall not either voluntarily or by operation of law assign its interest in this Lease and shall not sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or suffer any other person (except the employees, agents, servants and invitees of Tenant) to occupy or use the Premises, or any portion thereof, without first obtaining the written consent of Landlord. Without in any way limiting Landlord’s right to refuse to consent to any assignment of this Lease or subletting of the Premises, Landlord reserves the right to refuse to give such consent if in Landlord’s discretion and opinion (i) the use of the Premises is or may be in any way adversely affected; (ii) the business reputation of the proposed assignee or subtenant is deemed unacceptable; or (iii) the financial worth and/or credit worthiness of the proposed assignee or subtenant is insufficient to meet the obligations hereunder or is less than that of Tenant, Landlord may withhold or deny its consent with respect to any proposed assignment or subletting to a third (3rd) party that is already a tenant in the Building.
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, to assign its interest in this Lease, or to sublet the Premises, without Landlord’s consent and without being subject to the Landlord’s termination rights, as set forth in this Section 13, to (i) an entity which controls, or is under common control

with Tenant; (ii) the surviving entity of any merger or consolidation involving Tenant; or (iii) any entity which purchases all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets and has a financial worth and/or credit worthiness sufficient to meet the obligations created by this Lease (each, a “Permitted Transferee”); provided, however, Tenant shall give prompt written notice of such an assignment or sublease to Landlord and, in connection with an assignment, the assignee entity shall execute such reasonable documentation as Landlord may request confirming the assignee entity’s assumption of this Lease. Moreover, Tenant shall have the right, at any time and from time to time (i) to engage in a “going public transaction” of any kind or nature whatsoever, or (ii) for all or any portion of the voting or other securities of Tenant to be sold or transferred, in each case, without Landlord’s prior written consent and without being subject to the Landlord’s termination rights as set forth in this Section 13.
For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary set forth in this Lease, none of the transactions contemplated by the paragraph immediately preceding shall constitute “Transfers” or be subject to any limitations or restrictions.
No consent by Landlord to any Transfer (or any assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or sublease of the Premises to a Permitted Transferee) shall release Tenant from Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.
No later than forty-five (45) days prior to the effective date of a proposed Transfer, Tenant shall (i) notify Landlord in writing of Tenant’s intent to enter into a Transfer, (ii) provide Landlord with the name of the proposed assignee or sublessee, (iii) provide Landlord with all reasonably requested financial documentation of the proposed assignee or sublessee, and (iv) provide Landlord with the terms and conditions of Tenant’s proposed assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease or subletting of the Premises (collectively, the “Transfer Documents”). Upon Landlord’s receipt of the Transfer Documents, Landlord shall, within thirty (30) days of its receipt of the Transfer Documents, elect one of the following options: (i) consent to such proposed Transfer; (ii) refuse such consent, which refusal, shall be on reasonable grounds and set forth in a written notice delivered by Landlord to Tenant; or (ii) elect to terminate this Lease; provided, however, that Landlord shall not have the right to terminate this Lease in connection with Tenant subletting the Premises unless the sublease is for the entire Premises (or balance of the Premises if Tenant previously subleased a portion of the Premises) and for the balance of the Term. If Landlord elects option (i) above, final approval of any proposed Transfer is contingent upon Lender’s approval of such Transfer. Landlord shall provide Tenant with a written notice inforrning Tenant of Lender’s approval or denial of Tenant’s request of a proposed Transfer within forty-five (45) days from Landlord’s receipt of the Transfer Documents.
In the event that Landlord elects to terminate this Lease by reason of a proposed Transfer, Landlord shall give such election (“Recapture Notice”) to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Transfer Documents. The Recapture Notice, if given, shall, in addition to stating Landlord’s election to terminate this Lease, state the date of termination of the Lease, which, in no event, shall be earlier than sixty (60) days following the date on which the Recapture Notice is given.

Landlord hereby agrees to defend, indemnify, protect and hold Tenant and its officers, employees, agents and contractors harmless against and from any and all loss, cost (including reasonably incurred attorneys’ fees), damage or liability to the extent arising in whole or in part out of the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord or Landlord’s employees and from and against all costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and liabilities incurred for such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon, except to the extent caused by Tenant’s negligence or willful misconduct. In case any action or proceeding is brought against Tenant and/or any of Tenant’s officers, employees, agents or contractors by reason of any such claim, Landlord upon notice from Tenant hereby agrees to defend such claim at Landlord’s expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Tenant.

Page 14 of 43
personal property within the Building, by reason of fire or other casualty which are covered by “all risks” property insurance policies. Because the provisions of this paragraph will preclude the assignment of any claim mentioned herein by way of subrogation or otherwise to an insurance company or any other person, each party to this Lease shall give to each insurance company which has issued to it one or more policies of fire and extended coverage insurance notice of the terms of the mutual releases contained in this paragraph, and have such insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of insurance coverages by reason of the mutual releases contained in this paragraph.
16. INSURANCE.
16. a. Tenant shall at Tenant’s expense obtain and keep in force a commercial general liability policy of insurance protecting Tenant and Landlord as an additional insured against claims for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage based upon or arising out of the use, occupancy, or maintenance of the Premises and all areas appurtenant thereto. Such insurance shall be on an occurrence basis providing single limit coverage in an amount not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence with an annual aggregate of not less than $4,000,000.
Tenant shall add Landlord as an additional insured by means of an endorsement at least as broad as the Insurance Service Organization’s “Additional Insured-Managers or Landlord’s of Premises” Endorsement (known as ISO CG2011 or its equivalent) and coverage shall also be extended to include damage caused by smoke, fumes, vapor or soot produced by or originating from equipment that is used to heat, cool, or dehumidify the Building, or equipment that is used to heat water for personal use, by the Building’s occupants, or their guests, and bodily injury or property damage arising out of heat, smoke, or fumes from a hostile fire (also known as ISO Form CG 2165 12 04 or its equivalent).
The policy shall not contain any intra-insured exclusions as between insured persons or organizations, but shall include coverage for liability assumed under this Lease as an “insured contract” for the performance of Tenant’s indemnity obligations under this Lease.
The limits of said insurance shall not, however, limit the liability of Tenant nor relieve Tenant of any obligation hereunder. Tenant shall provide an endorsement on its liability policy(ies) which provides that its insurance shall be primary to and not contributory with any similar insurance earned by Landlord, whose insurance shall be considered excess insurance only.
If Tenant shall fail to procure and maintain said insurance, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, procure and maintain same, but at the expense of Tenant. Insurance required hereunder shall be in companies rated ‘A+’ or better in “Best’s Insurance Guide” Tenant shall deliver to Landlord prior to occupancy of the Premises copies of policies of insurance required herein or certificate evidencing the existence and amounts of such insurance with additional, named insured and loss payable clauses satisfactory to Landlord. No policy shall be cancelable or subject to reduction of coverage or non-renewal except after ten (10) days prior written notice to Landlord. If for any reason, Tenant shall fail to provide or maintain such insurance, Tenant shall be primarily liable for all risks covered by such insurance as if Tenant was the insurer thereunder.
Page 15 of 43
16.b. Tenant shall at all times maintain in full force and effect a policy or policies of contents and business interruption insurance insuring against all risks, including, without limitation, wind, hail, fire, backup of water through drains, pipes and flues, and covering all of Tenant’s operations, personal property, tenant improvements, fixtures, equipment, and other property which may be situated at the Premises at any time (the “Contents”). In the event of any damage of Tenant’s property resulting from any cause, except for any damage caused by Landlord’s negligence or willful or intentional misconduct, Tenant’s sole recourse shall be against said insurer, and not Landlord. Such insurance shall be primary and non-contributing with any insurance maintained by Landlord. In the event Tenant fails to maintain such insurance, Tenant shall be deemed a self-insurer and shall be solely responsible for such loss or damage, regardless of the cause thereof.
16.c. Tenant shall be solely responsible for providing property and collision insurance for each and every vehicle owned, leased or in the control of Tenant, its employees, invitees or agents. Any vehicle parked in the Building or adjacent parking lot owned by Landlord shall be in the Building or lot at Tenant’s sole risk. Except where loss or damage is caused by Landlord’s gross negligence or intentional or willful misconduct, Landlord shall in no event be responsible for any loss or damage to any vehicle so parked and Tenant and/or other owners shall look solely to its/their insurance in the case of loss or damage. The waiver of subrogation provisions of Section 15 shall specifically apply in the event of any such loss or damage.
16.d. Tenant shall be solely responsible for carrying worker’s compensation insurance as required by law and shall furnish to Landlord certificates evidencing the same.
16.e. At all times during the Term, Landlord shall maintain property damage insurance covering the Building (but excluding any of Tenant’s personal property) and all other improvements in and about the Common Areas in which Landlord may have an insurable interest, for full replacement value, providing protection against any peril included within the classification “All Risk” or “Special Causes of Loss”, inclusive of standard fire and extended coverage insurance, including endorsements against vandalism, malicious mischief and other perils. Such coverage shall be in such amounts, from such companies, and on such other terms and conditions, as Landlord may from time to time reasonably determine, provided the coverage and amounts of insurance carried by Landlord in connection with the Building shall at a minimum be comparable to the coverage and amounts of insurance which are carried by reasonably prudent landlords of buildings comparable to and in the vicinity of the Building.
16.f. At all times during the Term, Landlord shall maintain commercial general liability insurance against any and all claims for bodily injury and property damage occurring in, or about the Building. Such coverage shall be in such amounts, from such companies, and on such other terms and conditions, as Landlord may from time to time reasonably determine, provided the coverage and amounts of insurance carried by Landlord in connection with the Building shall at a minimum be comparable to the coverage and amounts of insurance which are carried by reasonably prudent landlords of buildings comparable to and in the vicinity of the Building.

Landlord shall not be liable for, and Tenant shall not be entitled to, any reduction of rental by reason of Landlord’s failure to furnish any of the foregoing when such failure is caused by accident, breakage, repairs, strikes, lockouts or other labor disturbances or labor disputes of any character, or by any other cause beyond Landlord’s control. Landlord shall not be liable under any circumstances for a loss of or injury to property, however occurring, through or in connection with or incidental to failure to furnish any of the foregoing utilities or services.

If Tenant uses water, electricity, heat or air conditioning in excess of that supplied by Landlord pursuant to Section 17.a. of this Lease, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon billing, the actual cost of such excess consumption, the cost of the installation, operation, and maintenance of equipment which is installed in order to supply such excess consumption, and the cost of the increased wear and tear on existing equipment caused by such excess consumption; and Landlord may install devices to separately meter any increased use and in such event Tenant shall pay the increased cost directly to Landlord, on demand, at the rates charged by the public utility company furnishing the same, including the cost of installing, testing and maintaining of such additional metering devices. If Tenant desires to use heat, ventilation or air conditioning during hours other than those for which Landlord is obligated to supply such utilities pursuant to the terms of Section 17.a of this Lease, Tenant shall give Landlord such prior notice, if any, as Landlord shall from time to time reasonably establish as appropriate, of Tenant’s desired use in order to supply such utilities, and Landlord shall supply such utilities to Tenant at such hourly cost per zone to Tenant (which shall be treated as additional rent) as Landlord shall from time to time reasonably establish.
17.d. If the Building is equipped with any security entry system or alarm system, Tenant shall comply with all rules and regulations propounded by Landlord relating to such system(s). In the event any additional security cost is incurred by Landlord due to Tenant’s activities in the Building or pursuant to Tenant’s request for such additional security, Landlord may charge Tenant for such costs.

18.a. Tenant shall pay, or cause to be paid, before delinquency, any and all taxes levied or assessed and which become payable during the term hereof upon all Tenant’s leasehold improvements, equipment, furniture, trade fixtures and personal property located in the Premises. In the event any or all of Tenant’s leasehold improvements, equipment, furniture, trade fixtures and personal property shall be assessed and taxed with the Building, Tenant shall pay to Landlord its share of such taxes within ten (10) days after delivery to Tenant by Landlord of a statement in writing setting forth the amount of such taxes applicable to Tenant’s property.

19. RULES AND REGULATIONS. Tenant shall faithfully observe and comply with the “Rules and Regulations”, a copy of which is attached hereto. Landlord reserves the right from time to time to make all reasonable modifications to said Rules and Regulations. The additions and modifications to those Rules and Regulations shall be binding upon Tenant upon delivery of a copy of them to Tenant.

Page 19 of 43
Lease (unless a Tenant Default has occurred), to show the Premises to prospective tenants, to alter, improve or repair the Premises and any portion of the Building of which the Premises are a part that Landlord may deem necessary or desirable, all without abatement of rent, and may for that purpose erect scaffolding and other necessary structures where reasonably required by the character of the work to be performed, always providing that the entrance to the Premises shall not be unreasonably obstructed thereby and provided that the business of Tenant shall be interfered with as little as is reasonably practicable. Landlord will provide Tenant with at least two (2) business days’ prior notice (except in the case of an emergency) of any of the actions set forth in this Section 21.a. to be taken by Landlord if such action will substantially interfere with Tenant’s ability to (i) conduct business in the Premises, (ii) gain access to and from the Premises, or (iii) use or have access to and egress from the parking area. All other entries shall require at least one (1) business day advance notice. Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the performance of any work of repairs or alterations described herein shall not materially interfere with Tenant’s use of or access to the Premises (or any portion thereof) or the Common Areas for Tenant’s business purposes (such efforts to include, to the extent possible, limiting the performance of any such work which might be disruptive to weekends or the evening and the cleaning of any work area prior to the commencement of the next business day).
Tenant hereby waives any claim for damages or for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Premises, and any other loss occasioned thereby, except to the extent caused by Landlord’s negligence or willful misconduct or Landlord’s breach of this Lease. For each of the aforesaid purposes, Landlord may at its discretion at all times have and retain a key with which to unlock all of the doors in, upon and about the Premises, excluding Tenant’s vaults, safes and files, and Landlord at its discretion has the right to use any and all means which Landlord may deem proper to open said doors in an emergency, in order to obtain entry to the Premises without liability to Tenant. Any entry to the Premises obtained by Landlord by any of said means shall not under any circumstances be construed or deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an eviction of Tenant from the Premises or any portion thereof.
21.b. Tenant understands and acknowledges that janitorial and maintenance services for the Building, the Premises, and the Parking Areas may be performed by outside independent contractors, and not by Landlord or its employees. Except in the case where Landlord has been negligent in its hiring of such outside independent contractors, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or any other party for any injury to person or damage to or loss of or theft of any of Tenant’s property resulting from such independent service providers, nor shall Tenant be entitled to any offset of Base Rent or any other charges resulting from such damage or loss.
22. | DAMAGE AND DESTRUCTION. |
22.a. In the event the Premises or the Building are damaged as a result of any cause whether or not covered by fire and extended coverage insurance, Landlord shall forthwith repair the same, provided the extent of the destruction be less than ten percent (10%) of the then full replacement cost of the Premises (in the case of damages solely to the Premises) or less than two percent (2%) of the then full replacement cost of the Building (in case of damages to the Building). In the event the destruction of the Premises or the Building is to an extent greater than the foregoing
Page 20 of 43
percentage of the full replacement cost, then Landlord shall have the option; (1) to repair or restore such damage, this Lease continuing in full force and effect, but the rent to be reduced by a proportionate amount, based upon the extent, if any, to which such damage materially interfered with the business carried on by the Tenant in the Premises; or (2) give notice to Tenant at any time within one hundred eighty (180) days after such damage terminating this Lease as of the date specified in such notice, which date shall be no less than thirty (30) and no more than sixty (60) days after the giving of such notice. In the event of giving such notice, this Lease shall expire and all interest of the Tenant in the Premises shall terminate on the date so specified in such notice.
22.b. If this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall not be required to repair any damage or to replace any panels, decoration, office fixtures, floor covering, partitions, or any other property installed in the Premises by Tenant. Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation or damages from Landlord for loss of the use of the whole or any part of the Premises, Tenant’s personal property, or any inconvenience or annoyance occasioned by such damage, repair, construction or restoration, Tenant’s sole recourse shall be to the insurance maintained by Tenant under Section 16 of this Lease. Tenant shall, at its sole cost, be responsible for removing all fixtures, furnishings and equipment to permit Landlord access to areas of the Premises in need of restoration or repair, and the reinstallation thereof following restoration or repair.
22.c. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease if the Premises or any portion of the Common Areas material to Tenant’s use of or access to the Premise is damaged by fire or other casualty and Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the period required to repair such damage exceeds ninety (90) days and such damage or casualty occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term of this Lease (or the Term of any renewal option, if applicable) by giving the other notice thereof at any time within thirty (30) days following the occurrence of such damage or casualty. Such notice shall specify the date of termination, which date shall not be less than thirty (30) nor more than sixty (60) days following the date on which such notice of termination is given. This Lease shall expire and all interest of Tenant in the Premises shall terminate on the date so specified in such termination notice and the Rent shall be paid to the date of such termination.
23. | DEFAULT AND REMEDY |

(ii) Tenant fails to perform or observe any other term, condition, covenant or obligation required under this Lease for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord; provided, however, that if the nature of Tenant’s default is such that more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required to cure, then such default shall be deemed to have been cured if Tenant commences such performance within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently completes the required action within no more than ninety (90) days thereafter.

Page 21 of 43
(iv) Tenant shall assign or sublet all or a portion of the Premises in contravention of the provisions of Section 13 of this Lease.

23.b. Intentionally Omitted.
23.c. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Tenant Default, Landlord shall have the following rights and remedies, in addition to those stated elsewhere in this Lease and those allowed by law or in equity, any one or more of which may be exercised without further notice to Tenant:
(i) Landlord may re-enter the Premises and cure any Tenant Default, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord as additional rent for any costs and expenses which Landlord thereby incurs; and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage which Tenant may sustain by reason of Landlord’s action.
(ii) Without terminating this Lease, Landlord may terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, and thereafter, neither Tenant nor any person claiming under or through Tenant shall be entitled to possession of the Premises, and Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and Landlord may re-enter the Premises and dispossess Tenant and any other occupants of the Premises by any lawful means and may remove their effects, without prejudice to any other remedy that Landlord may have, Upon termination of possession, Landlord may (a) re-let all or any part thereof for a term different from that which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Lease term and for rent and on terms and conditions different from those contained herein, whereupon Tenant shall be immediately obligated to pay to Landlord an amount equal to the present value (discounted at the prime rate) of the difference between the rent provided for herein and that provided for in any lease covering a subsequent re-letting of the Premises, for the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term (the “Accelerated Rent Difference”), or (b) without re-letting, declare the present value (discounted at the prime rate) of all rent which would have been due under this Lease for the balance of the Term to be immediately due and payable as liquidated damages (the “Accelerated Rent”). Upon termination of possession, Tenant shall be obligated to pay to Landlord (a) the Accelerated Rent Difference or the Accelerated Rent, whichever is applicable, (b) all loss or damage that Landlord may sustain by reason of the Tenant Default (“Default Damages”), which shall include, without limitation, expenses of preparing the Premises for

(iii) Landlord may terminate this Lease and declare the Accelerated Rent to be immediately due and payable, whereupon Tenant shall be obligated to pay to Landlord (a) the Accelerated Rent, (b) all of Landlord’s Default Damages, and (c) all Prior Obligations. It is expressly agreed and understood that all of Tenant’s liabilities and obligations set forth in this subsection (iii) shall survive termination.
(iv) Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that the payment of the Accelerated Rent Difference or the Accelerated Rent as set above shall not be deemed a penalty, but merely shall constitute payment of liquidated damages, it being understood that actual damages to Landlord are extremely difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain. Neither the filing of a dispossessory proceeding nor an eviction of personalty in the Premises shall be deemed to terminate the Lease.
(v) Landlord may xxx for injunctive relief or to recover damages for any loss resulting from a Tenant Default.
23.d. Landlord’s Default and Tenant’s Remedies. Landlord shall be in default (“Landlord Default”) if it fails to perform any term, condition, covenant or obligation required under this Lease for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Tenant to Landlord; provided, however, that if the term, condition, covenant or obligation to be performed by Landlord is such that it cannot reasonably be performed within thirty (30) days, such default shall be deemed to have been cured if Landlord commences such performance within said thirty-day period and thereafter diligently undertakes to complete the same. Upon the occurrence of a Landlord Default, Tenant may, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity, cure such Landlord Default at Landlord’s expense. All money spent, or costs incurred, by Tenant in curing a Landlord Default shall, at Tenant’s sole discretion, (i) be immediately due and payable, together with an additional overhead charge of ten percent (10%) or (ii) be set off against any Rent due hereunder. Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease or obtain consequential, punitive or special damages in connection with a Landlord Default hereunder.
23.e. Limitation of Landlord’s Liability. If Landlord shall fail to perform any term, condition, covenant or obligation required to be performed by it under this Lease and if Tenant shall, as a consequence thereof, recover a money judgment against Landlord, Tenant agrees that it shall look solely to Landlord’s right, title and interest in and to the Building for the collection of such judgment; and Tenant further agrees that no other assets of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or other process for the satisfaction of Tenant’s judgment.
23.f. Nonwaiver of Defaults. Neither party’s failure or delay in exercising any of its rights or remedies or other provisions of this Lease shall constitute a waiver thereof or affect its right thereafter to exercise or enforce such right or remedy or other provision. No waiver of any default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other default. Landlord’s receipt of less than the full rent due shall not be construed to be other than a payment on account of rent then due, nor
Page 23 of 43
shall any statement on Tenant’s check or any letter accompanying Tenant’s check be deemed an accord and satisfaction.

Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon Landlord by terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of rent or of any other sum due from Tenant is not received by Landlord or Landlord’s designee within ten (10) days of when said amount is due, then such late payment shall incur a late charge and Tenant shall pay to Landlord an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of such overdue amount.

Tenant shall neither permit nor disregard any circumstance in the Premises that may result in mold. In the event of the presence or suspected presence of mold, Tenant shall immediately notify Landlord in writing.
36. TENANT IMPROVEMENTS. On or after the Delivery Date, Tenant may cause to be constructed in the Premises, certain improvements (“Initial Improvements”).

Page 30 of 43
Improvement Allowance”). If Landlord fails to pay amounts due from the Tenant Improvement Allowance in accordance with the terms of this Lease, and such amounts remain unpaid for thirty (30) days after notice from Tenant, then without limiting Tenant’s other remedies, Tenant may deduct the amount thereof from the rent next due and owning under this Lease. The Tenant Improvement Allowance shall include the cost of all permits, fees, construction documents, and construction management fees incurred by Tenant in connection with the Initial Improvements.
38. RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER. Subject to the rights of any existing tenants as they exist on the date of this Lease (the “Superior Rights”), and upon and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 38, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a right of first offer with respect to all space on floors two (2) through eight (8) of the Building (“Offer Space”). The right of first offer granted to Tenant with respect to the Offer Space pursuant to this Section 38 is referred to herein as the “ROFO”. Tenant may exercise its ROFO as to the Offer Space that becomes available as to all but not less than all of the Offer Space that is then available as indicated in the Landlord Offer Notice (as defined below), upon written notice to Landlord in the manner provided below. However, Tenant shall not have the right to exercise its ROFO if, at that time, Tenant Default exists, Landlord shall notify Tenant, in writing, when Offer Space becomes available (the “Landlord Offer Notice”). Upon receipt of the Landlord Offer Notice, Tenant shall have five (5) business days in which to notify Landlord, in writing, if Tenant wishes to exercise its ROFO as to the Offer Space identified in the Landlord Offer Notice (the “Tenant Notice”).
If Tenant does not exercise the ROFO as to the Offer Space identified in the Landlord Offer Notice within the five (5) business day period, or if Tenant notifies Landlord that Tenant does not wish to exercise its ROFO as to the Offer Space, Landlord shall be free to lease the Offer Space, free from Tenant’s rights under this Section 38, for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter (after which, Tenant’s ROFO shall apply once again to the Offer Space). If Tenant does not exercise its ROFO with respect to an available space and another tenant leases such space for a period of at least three (3) years, then Tenant’s ROFO over that space shall no longer apply so long as that other tenant remains in occupancy; however, if such space shall Become Available as hereinafter defined, Tenant’s ROFO shall again apply to such space.
If Tenant timely exercises its ROFO, in accordance with this Section 38, with respect to the Offer Space identified in the Landlord Offer Notice, the terms of this Lease shall apply to that Offer Space, except as follows:
(i) the Delivery Date for the Offer Space by Tenant shall be the date on which Landlord delivers exclusive possession of the Offer Space to Tenant, the Commencement Date for the Offer Space shall be ninety (90) days after the Delivery Date, and the Expiration Date for that Offer Space shall be the same expiration date of the Term as for the remainder of the Premises;
(ii) Tenant’s Percentage Share shall be adjusted upward to reflect the rentable square feet in the Offer Space for which Tenant has exercised its ROFO;
Page 31 of 43
(iii) The initial Free Rent Period, plus any free rent as per the Base Rent schedule shown as item G of the Basic Lease Terms (“Additional Free Rent”) and the Tenant Improvement Allowance for the Offer Space shall be prorated based on the remaining Term of the Lease. The amount and the timing of the Additional Free Rent periods shall be in accordance with the Free Rent Schedule attached hereto as Attachment No. 4.
(iv) For the avoidance of doubt, the Space Planning and Design Allowance (as defined in Section 42 of this Lease), shall not be prorated—in other words, Tenant shall receive the full Space Planning and Design Allowance, on the terms set forth in Section 42, for any and all Offer Space leased by Tenant;
(v) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Tenant exercises its ROFO after December 31, 2015, the Base Rent, Free Rent Period and Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be at the then-current market rate for similar space within the Building; and
(vi) the Base Rent for the Offer Space shall be as set forth in the rent schedule set forth in Schedule “G” of the Basic Lease Terms.
Tenant’s ROFO as to available Offer Space shall only apply once the Offer Space has “Become Available”. The Offer Space shall be deemed to “Become Available” when (i) the Landlord receives notice that a current tenant in the Building is vacating, and (ii) the lease for the current tenant (or if currently vacant, the first tenant of such Offer Space after the date of this Lease) of all or a portion of the Offer Space expires or is otherwise terminated. Offer Space shall not be deemed to “Become Available” if the space is: (i) assigned or subleased by the then current tenant of the space; or (ii) re-let by the then current tenant of the space by renewal, extension or renegotiation.
If Tenant timely and properly exercises its ROFO as to the Offer Space, Tenant shall, promptly upon Landlord’s request, and within thirty (30) days after the date on which Tenant provides its written notice to Landlord that Tenant desires to exercise its ROFO as to the Offer Space, enter into an addendum or amendment to this Lease in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord that confirms the commencement date for Tenant’s lease of the Offer Space, the Base Rent for the Offer Space, and the increase in Tenant’s Pro Rata Share to account for the Offer Space, and which contains such other terms and conditions consistent with the foregoing that Landlord and Tenant reasonably deem to be necessary or appropriate
Notwithstanding anything in this Section 38 to the contrary, Tenant’s ROFO shall be null and void if there is less than five (5) years remaining on the Lease Term, unless Tenant exercises its Option to Extend (as defined in Section 40 below).
39. GUARANTEED EXPANSION. However, notwithstanding Tenant’s rights of refusal, Tenant agrees to lease the entire 6th floor and 8th floor immediately upon such floors becoming available (“Second Delivery Date”) so long as such Second Delivery Date is not later than September 1, 2011. Such space shall be delivered to Tenant by Landlord as soon as it is available and Tenant shall take possession of it at that time. The terms of the lease of the Second Delivery Date space shall be in accordance with the provisions of Section 38 (i) through (iv) herein.
Page 32 of 43
40. OPTION TO EXTEND. Tenant shall be granted the right to extend the Lease Term for two (2) separate periods of five (5) years each (each an “Option to Extend”). Each Option to Extend shall commence the day following the Expiration Date of the then current Lease Term. Tenant must exercise each Option to Extend no more than twelve (12) and no less than six (6) months prior to the Expiration Date of the then current Lease Term by giving Landlord written notice of Tenant’s intent to exercise its Option to Extend right. The terms of each Option to Extend shall be on the same terms as the then current Lease Term, except that Base Rent shall be at the rate charged by Landlord at the time of the Option to Extend for similar space within the Building; provided, however, that in no event shall Base Rent for any year of the Option to Extend Term be less than the Base Rent for the last year of the then current Lease Term. Tenant may only exercise its Option to Extend so long as no Tenant Default is then in effect.
41. ROOFTOP DECK. Provided there is no Tenant Default then in effect, and provided further that Tenant complies with all zoning and other municipal and county rules and regulations, Tenant shall have the right, at Tenant’s own cost and expense and subject to the terms hereof, to construct a deck on the roof of the Building (the “Rooftop Deck”) for the sole use of Tenant’s employees and their invitees; the Rooftop Deck shall not be used for public gatherings. Tenant shall be solely responsible for obtaining any necessary permits and licenses required to construct and operate the Rooftop Deck. Copies of all such permits and licenses shall be provided to Landlord prior to the start of construction on the Rooftop Deck. All construction must comply with all Landlord and governmental safety, security, and insurance requirements. The Rooftop Deck must be maintained in good condition and repair, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, and be kept in a clean condition by Tenant at all times. Any increase in Landlord’s insurance costs due to the construction or use of the Rooftop Deck shall be borne solely by the Tenant.
The design and manner of installation of the Rooftop Deck shall be approved by Landlord prior to any work being performed on the Rooftop Deck, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. After obtaining written approval of Landlord, Tenant shall have reasonable access to the roof to construct the Rooftop Deck. However, unless otherwise approved by Landlord in writing, in no event shall Tenant be permitted to penetrate the roof membrane in connection with the construction of the Rooftop Deck. No permitted roof penetration shall be made so as to invalidate Landlord’s roof warranty. Tenant shall also be solely responsible to make (or reimburse Landlord, at Landlord’s option, for the making of) any repairs necessary to repair subsequent leaks occasioned by the construction and installation of the Rooftop Deck. Notwithstanding the grant of this right, Landlord shall maintain control over the roof of the Building, and nothing herein shall be deemed Landlord’s consent for Tenant to use the roof for any other purpose than the installation, operation, maintenance, and use of the Rooftop Deck in conjunction with Tenant’s lease of the Premises. Under no circumstances shall Tenant rent the Rooftop Deck or cause it to be available to third (3rd) parties.
42. SPACE PLANNING AND DESIGN. Landlord shall promptly reimburse Tenant the sum of One and 25/100 Dollars ($1.25) per rentable square feet of space occupied by Tenant in the Building (the “Space Planning and Design Allowance”) to cover the cost of Tenant’s architects to prepare space planning, design, and construction documents. If Landlord fails to pay the Space Planning and Design Allowance within thirty (30) days after notice from Tenant, then without
Page 33 of 43
limiting Tenant’s other remedies, Tenant may deduct the amount thereof from the rent next due and owning under this Lease. Zero and 15/100 Dollars ($0.15) per rentable square feet of space occupied by Tenant in the Building of the Space Planning and Design Allowance shall be used for space planning and shall be paid to Tenant regardless of whether Tenant executes this Lease or not. Landlord hereby grants its approval for Tenant to use its own architect in connection with the preparation of space planning, design, and construction documents.
43. BUILDING LOBBY AND ATRIUM IMPROVEMENTS. Tenant may cause certain improvements to be constructed in the Building lobby, elevator cabs and atrium (“Building Renovation”). On or after the date upon which Tenant has leased at least Forty Thousand (40,000) square feet of space in the Building, so long as there is no Tenant Default in effect at the time of the Building Renovation, Landlord shall contribute the sum of One Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($150,000.00) (the “Building Lobby and Atrium Improvement Allowance”) to cover the cost of Building Renovation. The Building Lobby and Atrium Improvement Allowance shall be credited against Tenant’s Base Rent upon Landlord’s receipt of invoices paid by Tenant in connection with the Building Renovation and Unconditional Lien Releases from each of Tenant’s contractors who performed work in connection with the Building Renovation.
Landlord hereby approves Axis Architecture and Interiors as the potential designer/architect for the Building Renovation. Tenant shall submit all design/architectural drawings to Landlord for approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed so long as the designs are in keeping with the Building’s historical nature and character. Nothing in this Section shall constitute Landlord granting possession over the atrium to Tenant. Landlord shall retain all rights to designate the use of the atrium and lobby space; provided, however the atrium and lobby space in the Building shall always be used as Common Area.
44. SUBMISSION IS NOT AN OPTION. THE SUBMISSION OF THIS LEASE FOR EXAMINATION AND NEGOTIATION DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER TO LEASE, A RESERVATION OF, OR OPTION FOR THE PREMISED AND SHALL VEST NO RIGHT IN ANY PARTY. TENANT OR ANYONE CLAIMING UNDER OR THROUGH TENANT SHALL HAVE THE RIGHTS TO THE PREMISES AS SET FORTH HEREIN AND THIS LEASE BECOMES EFFECTIVE AS A LEASE ONLY UPON EXECUTION, ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND DELIVERY THEREOF (“FINALIZATION”) BY LANDLORD AND TENANT TO EACH OTHER, REGARDLESS OF ANY WRITTEN OR VERBAL REPRESENTATION OF ANY AGENT, MANAGER OR EMPLOYEE OF LANDLORD TO THE CONTRARY.
