LEASE AGREEMENT

THIS LEASE AGREEMENT (“Lease”) is made as of the Effective Date by and between Landlord and Xxxxxx.

WITNESSETH:

1. Premises. For and in consideration of the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and the rent hereinafter specifically reserved, Landlord does hereby lease unto Tenant, and Tenant does hereby lease from Landlord the Premises in the Building. Tenant shall also have the non-exclusive right during the Term to use the Common Areas of the Building and the land on which the Building is situated (the “Land”). As used herein, “Common Areas” shall mean all portions of the Building and the Land intended for the use by two or more occupants of such Building or Land or their visitors, including without limitation all sidewalks, lobbies, stairways, corridors, passageways, atria, doors, doorways, elevators, common restrooms, loading areas, and all other public parts of such Building. Landlord hereby represents and warrants that, as of the Effective Date, the base Building systems serving the Demised Premises are in good working order.

2. Term. This Lease shall continue in force during the Term. Should the Lease Commencement Date fall on a date other than the first day of a month, Tenant shall occupy the Premises on the “Occupancy Date” and the Lease Commencement Date shall be deemed to be the first day of the following month. Tenant shall occupy the Demised Premises on the terms and conditions contained herein, except that the Base Annual Rent for the partial first month of occupancy shall be prorated based on the number of days following the Occupancy Date and preceding the Lease Commencement Date.

3. Rent.

Base Rent. Commencing on the Lease Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Base Annual Rent. Said Base Annual Rent shall be paid in twelve equal monthly installments on the first (1st) day of each and every month during the Term, with appropriate proration for the first and last months.

Additional Rent-Utilities: If Premises are not sub-metered, Tenant shall be responsible for its Proportionate Share of Building electric, gas, water/sewer-storm water runoff consumption and waste removal services. The amount of Tenant’s share shall be prorated such that Tenant shall pay for a percentage of utilities that is equivalent to the portion of the Building that it occupies as adjusted by Landlord’s reasonable estimate of the utilities expense had one hundred (100%) of the Building been furnished said services. The obligation of the Tenant to pay for such costs shall commence as of the Possession Date. If the Landlord is billed for any utility costs subsequent to the Possession Date of this Lease the Tenant agrees to reimburse the Landlord for such costs upon presentation by Landlord of an accounting of the costs incurred.

Additional Rent – Expenses, Taxes: Tenant shall be responsible for its Proportionate Share of Building Expenses and Taxes over the 2019 Base Year. The amount of Tenant’s shall be adjusted from time to time by Landlord’s reasonable estimate. Within 120 days from the end of the previous calendar year, or as soon as what is reasonable for Landlord, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a reconciliation of the prior year Expenses and Taxes. If reconciliation shows Tenant owes further Additional Rent, it shall submit payment to Landlord within 30 days of receiving said reconciliation. If Xxxxxx is owed a credit based on said reconciliation, Landlord will issue a credit to Xxxxxx in said amount.

The following terms are defined below:

(a) The term “Expenses” shall mean the actual cost incurred by Landlord with respect to the operation, maintenance, repair and replacement and administration of the Building, including, without limitation or duplication, (1) the costs incurred for all utilities supplied to the entire Building; air conditioning; mechanical ventilation; heating; cleaning (including janitorial services); rubbish removal; snow removal; general landscaping and maintenance; window washing, xxxxxx and matron services, electric current for Common Areas; management fees; protection and security services; repairs, replacement, and maintenance; fire, extended coverage, boiler, sprinkler, apparatus, public liability and property damage insurance (including loss of rental income insurance); supplies; wages, benefits and salaries respecting service and maintenance employees and management staff; sales, use and other similar taxes; water rates and sewer charges; personal property taxes; advertising, public relations and promotions; and the cost of movable equipment and personal property, which is not capitalized, as well as the cost of maintaining all such movable equipment, and any other costs, charges and expenses which, under generally accepted accounting principles and practices, would be regarded as maintenance and operating expenses, (2) any costs and expenses paid or incurred by Landlord for the repair, maintenance and operation of the roads and Common Areas of the Building, and (3) the cost of any capital improvements made to the Building and Common Areas of the Development by Landlord, including those that are intended to reduce other Expenses or made to the Building by Landlord after the date of this Lease that are required under any governmental law or regulation that was not applicable to the Building at the time it was constructed, such costs to be amortized in accordance with GAAP over the useful life thereof.

The Expenses shall be adjusted to equal Landlord’s reasonable estimate of Expenses had one hundred percent (100%) of the total rentable area of the Building been occupied and had one hundred percent (100%) of the total rentable area of the Building been furnished all services. In order to equitably and consistently calculate any increases in Expenses over the Base Year, if, during the Base Year, Landlord furnished a particular work or service to any portion of the Development (the cost of which constituted an Expense) and if, during any year following the Base Year, Landlord no longer furnishes such work or service for any reason whatsoever, then the Expenses for such later year shall be increased by an amount equal to the additional cost which would have been incurred by Landlord had Landlord continued to furnish such work or service.

(b) The term “Taxes” shall mean the amount incurred by Landlord for all ad valorem real property taxes and assessments, special or otherwise, levied upon or with respect to the Development, or the rent and additional charges payable hereunder, imposed by any taxing authority having jurisdiction. Taxes shall also include all taxes, levies and charges which may be assessed, levied or imposed in replacement of, or in addition to, all or any part of ad valorem real property taxes as revenue sources, and which in whole or in part are measured or calculated by or based upon the freehold and/or leasehold estate of Landlord or Tenant, or the rent and other charges payable hereunder, or relating to the ownership or operation of the Development (but not including income taxes owed on revenue derived from the operation, lease or sale of the Development). Taxes shall include any expenses incurred by Landlord in determining or attempting to obtain a reduction of Taxes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that Landlord obtains a reduction in Taxes below the amount of Taxes for the Base Year, such reduced amount shall thereafter be deemed to be the amount of Taxes for the Base Year, notwithstanding the calendar year of such reduced Taxes, for purposes of calculating Tenant’s Share of increases in Taxes in excess of the Base Year.

Other. Tenant shall be responsible for obtaining and paying for all other utilities and services for their space including phone, internet, cable television, and in-suite janitorial services. Landlord agrees to provide access to the Building’s data distribution closet or other areas of the Building necessary to connect Tenant’s telecommunications equipment including the roof for possible IT equipment – exact location to be mutually agreed upon.

4. Use. The Premises are to be used and occupied by Tenant for the operation of an office and other ancillary uses typically associated with office use and for no other purpose without the prior written consent of Landlord. No activity shall be conducted on the Premises that does not comply with local laws, ordinances, and regulations. Xxxxxx agrees to abide by and adhere to the Landlord Rules and Regulations as set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto. Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant that, as of the Effective Date, the Premises (in its "as-is" condition as of the Effective Date), the common areas of the Building and the base Building systems serving the Premises comply with applicable law.

Tenant shall have access to the Premises twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days a week, but the parties acknowledge and agree that the Premises will typically be occupied between the hours of 7am to 7pm Monday through Friday and 8am to 12pm on Saturday (the “Normal Business Hours”). Should Tenant desire to operate its business for any period of time in excess of Normal Business Hours, on a repetitive, regular or continuous basis (“Extended Hours”), Tenant shall provide written notice to Landlord and the Rent shall be adjusted to reflect a reasonable additional charge for electricity and HVAC for the applicable period, to be mutually agreed on by Landlord and Tenant.

5. Construction of Leased Premises. Landlord shall construct the Tenant Improvements for Suite 180W only, as set forth on the attached Contractor Agreement, delivered to Landlord by Tenant. Tenant selected Contractor and is responsible for all costs associated with the “Contractor Agreement” and completion of the Tenant Improvements as set forth in Exhibit B (Exhibits A and B shall be referred to collectively as the “Tenant Improvements” or “Final Plans”) at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant has made a construction deposit to Landlord of $600,000.00 (the “TI Deposit”). At job completion satisfactory to both Landlord and Tenant, with all outstanding building permits opened by Contractor finalized with the City of Xxx Arbor, a final accounting shall be completed. To the extent the total job cost is less than the TI Deposit, Landlord shall refund any overage to Tenant. To the extent the total job cost is greater than the TI Deposit, Tenant shall remit payment to Landlord in the amount of any overage. Within five (5) business days following substantial completion of the Tenant Improvements, Landlord and Tenant shall cooperate to execute a mutually agreeable “punch list” identifying any incomplete and unacceptable items in the Tenant Improvements. No later than thirty (30) days after the parties’ execution of said “punch list”, Tenant shall have Contractor complete all items identified on said “punch list”. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the Tenant Improvement plans attached as Exhibits A and B reflect the parties’ substantial agreement regarding the work to be performed in the Premises, but that certain additional work may need to be performed or adjustments may need to be made to the proposed Tenant Improvements. Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxx agree to work together in good faith to mutually and reasonably agree upon any changes required to the Tenant Improvements.

6. Late Charges. Rent is payable on the first day of every month. Any payment received by the Landlord from the Tenant after the fifth (5th) day of the month is subject to a five percent (5%) late charge or amount allowable by pertinent Michigan law, whichever is less.

7. Parking. Tenant shall have access to on premises parking spaces located in the common area parking.

8. Condition of Premises; alterations; maintenance; repairs.

Tenant shall maintain the Premises in a clean and sanitary condition and shall surrender the Premises in the same condition as existed at the commencement of this Lease, subject to ordinary wear and tear and damage by the elements. Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions, or improvements to the Premises, other than Permitted Alterations (hereinafter defined), without the prior written consent of Landlord, which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. A “Permitted Alteration” shall mean any alteration in the Premises that does not (1) affect the structure of the Building; (2) adversely affect the electrical, plumbing, mechanical or other systems of the Building or the functioning thereof; (3) interfere with the operation of the Building or the provision of services or utilities to other tenants in the Building; or (4) cost more than Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) in the aggregate over a period of six (6) months

Xxxxxx agrees to be responsible for any damage caused to the Premises by its use, and further agrees to promptly report to Landlord any damage caused to or discovered in the Premises. If Tenant shall fail to make any repairs or to perform any maintenance which it is obligated to make or perform under this Lease within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from Landlord to do so, or in the event of a situation that poses an imminent threat of bodily harm to person or property (an “Emergency”), Landlord may enter the Premises and make such repairs as are reasonably necessary to restore the Premises to their original condition (wear and tear and damage by the elements excepted), and Xxxxxx shall reimburse the Landlord for the reasonable and actual out-of-pocket cost of any such repairs for which it is responsible under this Lease. However, if the nature of any Landlord requested visit is not an emergency, the Tenant may request that Landlord come at an alternative time, including after hours if necessary.

Landlord shall make all necessary repairs to the common areas (including any common area stairs) and structure (including but not limited to the roof, foundation, skylights, penetrations, etc.) of the Building, the parking facility serving the Building and the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems therein, except with respect to any items installed or constructed by Tenant and except where the repair has been made necessary by misuse or neglect by Tenant or Tenant’s agents, servants, visitors or licensees. Landlord shall undertake its maintenance and repair obligations pursuant to the terms of this Section 8(c) in a manner which is comparable to the manner in which reasonably prudent owners of first-class office buildings in the Ann Arbor, Michigan submarket of comparable age, size, quality and location to the Building undertake similar maintenance obligations. Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to make such repairs in a timely fashion.

9. Signs. Landlord reserves exclusive right to the exterior of the Building, and Lessee shall not construct, place or paint any sign or awning or improvement or apparatus on the exterior of the Building without prior written consent of Landlord. Any signs placed in the windows or doors of the Premises by Tenant shall be approved in writing by Landlord, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and shall be in keeping with the character and décor of the Building as a whole.

	d.

	e.	Electricity for building standard lighting twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days a week.

Adhering to a property management protocol that is consistent with the standard for professionally managed office buildings in the Ann Arbor, Michigan area.

11. Damage to Premises. If the Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty, then Landlord shall repair the Premises as speedily as possible, and the rent shall be abated in whole or in part, according to the portion of the Premises which is rendered unusable. If less that the entire space is rendered unusable but the remaining portion is obviously not suited to meet Xxxxxx’s operations needs, then the entire space will be deemed unusable. If the Premises cannot be repaired within one hundred eighty days (180), then Tenant may terminate this Lease by giving notice to Landlord within ten (10) days after the Landlord has notified Tenant of the time required to repair the Premises. Landlord shall, in its sole judgment, reasonably exercised, determine the length of time required to repair the Premises, and shall notify Tenant of such determination within ten (10) days after the occurrence of the fire or other casualty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Premises are so damaged by fire or other casualty that demolition or substantial reconstruction is required, then Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the date of such damage. If Landlord commences to restore the Premises in accordance with the terms of this Section 12 and Landlord fails to substantially complete the restoration work which Landlord is obligated to perform hereunder within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of the damage, then Tenant shall have the right, during the thirty (30) day period immediately following the expiration of such one hundred eighty (180) day period, to terminate this Lease by delivering a termination notice to Landlord, specifying an effective date, not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days after the giving of such termination notice, on which the Term shall expire as fully and completely as if such date were the date originally fixed for the expiration of the Term.

12. Eminent Domain. If any part of the Premises is taken by public authority under the power of eminent domain then this Lease shall terminate on the part so taken on the date possession of the Premises is required for public use, and any pre-paid rent shall be refunded to the Tenant. If less that the entire space is rendered unusable but the remaining portion is obviously not suited to meet Xxxxxx’s operations needs, then the entire space will be deemed unusable. In such a circumstance, Landlord and Tenant shall also each have the right to terminate this Lease for any remaining portion of the Premises upon written notice to the other, which notice shall be delivered within thirty (30) days following the date notice is received of such taking (provided, however, that Landlord shall only have the right to terminate this Lease if it terminates the leases of all office tenants of the Building which are terminable by Landlord in such event). If neither party terminates this Lease, Landlord shall make all necessary repairs to the Premises and the Building and the improvements in which the Premises are located to render and restore it to a complete architectural unit, and Tenant shall continue in possession of the portion of the Premises not taken under the power of eminent domain, under the terms and conditions provided in this Lease, except that the monthly rent shall be reduced in direct proportion to the amount of the Premises so taken. All damages awarded for such taking shall belong to and shall be property of the Landlord, whether such damages be awarded as compensation for diminution in value of the Leasehold or to the fee of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may go to all legal proceedings and assert any claim that it may have against the condemning authority for compensation for any of Tenant's personal property and trade fixtures and for any relocation expense compensable by statute, and receive such award therefor as may be allowed in the condemnation proceedings, if such award shall be made in addition to and stated separately from the award made for the Land and the Building or the part thereof so taken.

13. Liability

	a.	Indemnity. To the maximum extent this Lease may be made effective according to law, Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx agree to indemnify and save harmless each other from and against all claims of whatever nature arising from any act, omission, or negligence of the other party, or its contractors, licensees, invitees, agents, servants, or employees. This indemnity and hold harmless provision shall include indemnity against all costs, expense, and liabilities incurred in or in connection with any such claim or proceeding brought thereon, and the defense thereof.

To the maximum extent this Lease may be made effective according to law, Xxxxxx agrees to use and occupy the Premises and to use such other portions of the Building as Tenant is given the right to use at Tenant's own risk; and Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss of or damage to fixtures or other personal property of Tenant or Tenant's agents, employees, independent contractors, or invitees for any other reason than the intentionally wrongful or negligent acts or omissions of Landlord or Landlord's agents, employees, independent contractors, or invitees. The provisions of this section shall be applicable from and after the Effective Date and until the end of the Term, and during such further period as Tenant may use or be in possession of any part of the Premises.

	c.	Injury Caused by Third Parties. To the maximum extent this lease may be made effective according to the law, Xxxxxx agrees that Landlord shall not be responsible or liable to Tenant, or those claiming by, through or under Tenant, for any loss or damage that may be occasioned by or through the acts or omissions of persons occupying adjoining Premises or any part of the Premises adjacent to or connecting with the Premises or any part of the building, or otherwise or for any loss or damage resulting to Tenant or those claiming by, through, or under Tenant, or its or their property, from breaking, bursting, stopping, or leaking of electric cables and wires, water, gas, sewer, or steam pipes, from roof leaks, fire, or any other like causes unless caused by Landlord's negligence or willful misconduct, provided, however, that Landlord agrees to use to commercially reasonable and good faith efforts to enforce the terms of any other tenants lease against such tenant.

Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for damages or otherwise (a) if any utility shall become unavailable from any public utility company or authority, or any other person or entity (including Landlord) supplying or distributing such utility or (b) for any interruption in a utility service (including, without limitation, heating, ventilation, air conditioning) caused by the making of any necessary repairs or improvements or by any cause whatsoever nor shall the same constitute a termination of this Lease or an eviction of Tenant unless a result of Xxxxxxxx’s negligence or bad acts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may not elect to intentionally discontinue a utility that is provided by Landlord without Tenant’s prior written consent. However, if for any reason the utilities are shut off for more 30 consecutive days then Tenant may cancel this lease.

14. Insurance. Landlord will obtain and maintain, at all times until termination of this Lease and surrender of the Premises to Landlord, special cause of loss form, or its equivalent, property insurance including equipment breakdown coverage, covering the Building and the Premises, including common areas, and all other improvements to the Building made by Landlord but specifically excluding Tenant betterments installed by Tenant and providing the insurance protection to Landlord described in this Lease, which insurance shall be in an amount not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost of the foregoing. Landlord will retain in its possession the original policy and all endorsements, renewal certificates and new policies, if any issued during the term but will provide Tenant, upon request, with copies of said policy or certificates of self-insurance. Landlord will also maintain commercial general liability insurance coverage against claims for, or arising out of, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring in, on or about the Building and the Premises or property in, on or about the street, sidewalks or properties adjacent to the Building and the Premises. The policy shall carry limits, including coverage under umbrella policies of not less than $500,000 per occurrence and $1,000,000 aggregate.

In addition to the above, and not by the way of substitution thereof, Tenant shall obtain, at its own expense, comprehensive general liability insurance with both Landlord and Wickfield Properties LLC named as additionally insured, against claims for, or arising out of, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring on the Premises and shall have limits of coverage of $500,000 per occurrence and $1,000,000 annual aggregate. Tenant will deliver a letter to Landlord confirming Tenant's required insurance coverage upon written request from Landlord.

If the Landlord chooses to cancel this Lease, Landlord must give notice to Tenant in writing in accordance with Section 19 contained herein.

16. Subordination of Lease. Tenant agrees that Landlord may subordinate this Lease to its present or any subsequent mortgage on the leased Premises, provided that such subordination shall not interfere with Xxxxxx's continued occupancy of the Premises pursuant to the term of this Lease and provided further that any lender with a mortgage on the Premises agrees to deliver to Tenant a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in the lender’s standard and reasonable form with reasonable approval by Tenant. Xxxxxx agrees to execute any and all instruments as may be reasonably requested from time to time by Landlord in order to evidence the above described subordination of this Lease to any mortgage. Xxxxxx agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord within thirty (30) days following a written request from Landlord a statement in writing certifying this lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified, and stating said modifications), and the dates to which the rent and other charges have been paid in advance, if any, it being intended that any such statement delivered pursuant to this paragraph may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser, mortgagee, or assignee.

17. Landlord's Remedies.

	a.	In the event Tenant shall fail to pay the Rent or any other obligation involving the payment of money reserved herein when due, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of such default, and if Tenant shall fail to cure such default within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, Landlord shall, in addition to its other remedies provided by law and in this Lease, have the remedies set forth in subparagraph (c) below.

If Tenant shall be in default in performing any of the terms of this Lease other than the payment of Rent or any obligation involving the payment of money, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of such default, and if Tenant shall fail to cure such default within forty-five (45) days after receipt of such notice (or if the default is of such a character as to require more than forty-five (45) days to cure, such reasonable additional time as shall be required to permit Tenant to cure the default, provided that Tenant promptly commenced and diligently pursued the cure of such default), then Landlord may (at its option and in addition to other legal remedies) cure such default for the account of Tenant and be reimbursed by Tenant for the reasonable and actual costs of such care. Such reimbursement shall be Additional Rent for all purposes hereunder, including subparagraph (a) above and shall be paid by Tenant with the next monthly installment of Rent.

	c.	If any Rent or any other obligation involving the payment of money shall be due and unpaid or Tenant shall be in default upon any of the terms of this Lease, and such default has not been cured after notice and within the time provided in subparagraphs (a) and (b) above, then Landlord may seek to take possession pursuant to legal proceedings or any notice provided for by law. Landlord may either terminate this Lease or, without terminating this Lease, re-let the Premises or any part thereof on such terms and conditions as Landlord shall deem reasonably advisable. Any payments as a result of such re-letting shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of any indebtedness of Tenant to Landlord other than Rent due hereunder; second, to the payment of any reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in obtaining possession and re-letting the Premises, including, without limitation, legal fees, brokerage commissions and the cost of any reasonable alterations, and repairs to the Premises; third, to the payment of Rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future Rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder.

Notices to the respective parties shall be to the addresses set forth in the Lease Summary or such other address as notified to the other parties.

19. Assignment. The Tenant covenants not to assign or transfer this Lease or mortgage the same or sublet said Premises or any part thereof without the prior written consent of the Landlord which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any assignment, transfer, hypothecation, mortgage or subletting without said written prior consent shall give the Landlord the right to terminate this Lease and to re-enter and repossess the leased Premises, except that the Tenant may withdraw request to assign or sublease, in which case Landlord shall not have the right to terminate this Lease or repossess the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to assign the Lease or sublease the Premises, or a portion thereof, to any parent, subsidiary or affiliate or any entity resulting from a merger with tenant or the sale of all substantially all of Tenant's assets.
