Base Monthly Rent shall be payable by Tenant to Landlord in advance in equal monthly installments commencing upon the Commencement Date and on the first day of each calendar month thereafter during the term of this Lease, without any offset or deduction whatsoever or prior demand. All payments of Base Monthly Rent will be made to Landlord at its office or at such other place as it may designate in writing. Base Monthly Rent for any partial month shall be prorated based upon the actual number of days in the period subject to proration. Effective on the first day of each subsequent Lease Year, including any option or extension terms, Tenant shall pay Landlord, in equal monthly installments, an amount equal to the total Base Monthly Rent for the preceding Lease Year plus the product obtained by multiplying that sum by three percent (3%).
4.2 Net Lease. It is intended that the Base Monthly Rent provided in this Lease shall be a net return to Landlord for the Term, free of any and all expenses or charges with respect to the ownership and operation of the Premises, except as may be expressly provided in this Lease.
4.3 Additional Rent. All sums other than Base Monthly Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease shall be considered “Additional Rent.” The term “Rent”, as used herein, shall include both Base Monthly Rent and Additional Rent.
4.4 Operating Costs. From and after the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent to Landlord 100% of the Operating Costs (as defined herein). Tenant shall pay estimated Operating Costs monthly as Additional Rent due and payable on the same day as Base Monthly Rent with an annual reconciliation of Operating Costs taking place within 120 days of the end of the calendar year. The term “Operating Costs” means all costs, expenses and disbursements of every kind and nature paid or incurred by the Landlord, or otherwise on behalf
of the Landlord, in connection with the ownership, operation, management of the Premises and the maintenance, replacement and repair of the non-structural components of the Building, all of which will be determined by Landlord on an accrual basis. Operating Costs will include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the following: (i) maintenance and service agreements for the Premises and the equipment therein, including, but not limited to, security services or alarm services, if any, and HVAC maintenance; and all such other expenses and costs necessary or desirable to be incurred for the operation of the Premises; (ii) personal property taxes of Tenant; (iii) insurance maintained by Landlord in connection with the Premises; (iv) amortization of capital costs or expenditures incurred for any repair or replacement to the Premises (including any capital expenditure reasonably necessary for the operation and maintenance of the Premises, or required by law or any governmental authority), together with interest thereon at the rate of seven percent (7%) per annum, on a straight-line basis over the greater of ten (10) years or its useful life utilized for federal income tax purposes, and only annual amortization of such improvement shall be included in Operating Costs for the relevant Operating Costs year; and (v) real estate taxes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Operating Costs shall not include (i) the costs of special services rendered to Tenant for which a special or separate charge is made; (ii) any initial cost of construction of the Building Improvements and Site Improvements; (iii) leasing commissions; (iv) depreciation (except amortization of capital expenditures which are allocated over the useful life of said expenditure as described in this Section); (v) any cost of capital improvements that enlarge or expand the existing Building (except any such expenditures required by law or by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Building); (vi) repairs paid by proceeds of insurance (except the deductible and that portion not covered by insurance); (viii) ground rental payments, (ix) interest payments; (x) debt service payments made to a mortgagee; (xi) any costs borne directly by Tenant under this Lease, including attorneys fees and disbursements incurred in leasing space or enforcing leases; (xii) attorneys’ fees and related expenses, court costs and other costs of collection incurred by Landlord because another tenant of the Premises violated the terms of such tenant’s lease agreement or to secure the defense of Landlord’s title to the Premises; (xiii) overhead and profit paid to Landlord’s subsidiaries or affiliates for management or other services on or to the Premises or for supplies or other materials, to the extent that such costs of services, supplies or materials exceed the competitive costs of comparable services, supplies or materials if they were provided by a person or entity that is not a subsidiary or affiliate of Landlord; (xiv) any costs, fines or penalties incurred because Landlord violated any governmental rule or authority or arising out of Landlord’s negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of any law; (xv) costs incurred to test, survey, cleanup, contain, xxxxx, remove or otherwise remedy Hazardous Materials from the Premises, including asbestos and Hazardous Materials in the ground water or soil, unless such Hazardous Materials were in or on the Premises because of Tenant’s negligence or intentional acts; (xvi) incomes, excess profits or franchise taxes or other such taxes imposed on or measured by the income of Landlord from the operation of the Premises; (xvii) penalties and interest for late payment, including, but not limited to, taxes, real estate taxes, insurance, equipment leases and other past due amounts, unless such penalty and interest are otherwise described herein as an obligation of Tenant; (xviii) financing and refinancing costs and any costs in connection with a transfer or sale of the Premises; (xix) lease concessions, including rental abatements and construction allowances, granted to specific tenants; (xx) organizational expenses associated with the creation and operation of the entity which constitutes Landlord and all general corporate overhead and
general administrative expenses not related to the operation of the Premises; and (xxi) any costs incurred for any structural repairs to the Premises.
4.5 Security Deposit. Tenant will deposit with Landlord upon execution hereof the sum of $35,502.00 Said deposit will be held by Landlord, with right of cominglement and use, and without liability for interest or duty to render accounting, as security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease by Tenant to be kept and performed during the term hereof. If Tenant fails to keep and perform any of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease, then upon five (5) days prior written notice to Tenant Landlord may apply said deposit, or so much thereof as may be reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for loss or damage sustained or suffered by Landlord due to such breach on the part of Tenant. Should the entire deposit, or any portion thereof, be so applied by Landlord, then Tenant will, upon Landlord’s prior written demand, forthwith remit to Landlord a sufficient sum to restore said security to the original sum deposited, and Tenant’s failure to do so within thirty (30) days after receipt of such written demand therefore will constitute a breach of this Lease. Should Tenant comply with all of said terms, covenants and conditions and promptly pay all of the Rents herein provided for as they fall due, and all other sums payable by Tenant hereunder, said deposit will be returned in full to Tenant at the end of the Term of this Lease within thirty (30) days.
ARTICLE V
RENEWAL OPTION
5.1 Tenant’s Option to Renew. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant two (2) options (each, a “Renewal Option”) to extend the Term for an additional period of three (3) years (each , a “Renewal Term”). If a Renewal Option is exercised, the Renewal Term shall commence on the day next following the expiration of the initial Term or the first or second Renewal Term, as the case may be, and the “Expiration Date” shall become the date that is three (3) years after the expiration of the initial Term or the first or second Renewal Term, as the case may be. Each Renewal Option must be exercised, if at all, by written notice from Tenant to Landlord given on or before the date that is 270 days prior to the then effective Expiration Date. All terms, provisions and conditions contained in this Lease shall continue to apply during a Renewal Term and all references in this Lease to the Term shall be deemed to include (where the context requires) the applicable Renewal Term, if the applicable Renewal Option is exercised.
ARTICLE VI
TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS
6.1 Payment Generally.
(a) Landlord shall pay all taxes, including municipal and school taxes, assessments, rates and charges, county taxes, excises, levies, and all other license and permit fees and other governmental charges, which during the Term may be assessed, levied, confirmed, imposed upon, or become due and payable with respect to the Premises or any part thereof (all of which are hereinafter collectively called “Taxes”).
Tenant shall pay to Landlord on the same day in which Tenant pays the Base Monthly Rent, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of such Taxes, determined on the basis of the Landlord’s estimated taxes for the current tax year. If the actual amount of Tenant’s share of Taxes with respect to any tax year once determined, is less than the total amount theretofore paid by Tenant for such period, as aforesaid, the excess shall be credited on Tenant’s next succeeding payment(s) pursuant to this Section. If the actual amount of Tenant’s share of Taxes with respect to any tax year, once determined, shall exceed the total amount theretofore paid by Tenant for such period, as aforesaid, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the difference between the actual amount paid by Tenant and the amount due on the basis of such tax bills for such period within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord. If the amount of Taxes paid by Landlord for the Premises is adjusted after the tax xxxx is prepared, any reduction shall be refunded to Tenant such that Tenant’s payment equals the tax as actually paid.
(b) In the event that an increase in Taxes is caused by the Tenant’s improvements made to the Premises, Tenant shall pay the increase attributable to such improvements. If the improvements, the taxes for which are to be paid separately by Tenant, are not separately assessed, Tenant’s portion of that tax shall be equitably determined by Landlord from the respective valuations assigned in the assessor’s worksheets or such other information (which may include the cost of construction) as may be reasonably available. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant shall not be responsible for any increase in Taxes which results solely from the creation of additional rentable area in the Building or on the Premises or from improvements or alterations made by Landlord or other tenants, and Tenant shall not be responsible for any increases in Taxes for the Premises resulting from a refinancing or sale of the Premises during the initial Term. If there is a tax abatement program in effect at any time during the Term which reduces Taxes or Taxes are “phased-in” during the Term, Taxes shall be adjusted so that they are computed on the same basis as Taxes for the tax years during which the tax abatement or phase-in is in effect. If Tenant seeks to dispute any increase in Taxes on its improvements, the burden of proof with respect thereto shall fall solely upon Tenant and Landlord shall give Tenant the necessary authority to challenge any such assessment on Landlord’s behalf, and Tenant shall bear the full cost and expense of any such challenge.
6.2 Apportionment. All Taxes which shall be charged, laid, levied, assessed or imposed for each fiscal period in which the Term begins or terminates shall be apportioned pro rata between Landlord and Tenant in accordance with the portion of the relevant fiscal period during which the Term shall be in effect. In the event that any payment of Taxes is due after the expiration of the Term with respect to a fiscal period that includes part of the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s proportionate share thereof (based upon the portion of the fiscal period that was included in the Term) at least ten (10) days prior to the date that payment is due with the maximum discount. The foregoing covenant of this Section 6.2 shall survive the expiration of the Term.
6.3 Special Assessments. If any special assessment with respect to the Premises may be paid in installments, Tenant shall be obligated to pay only those installments which become due and payable during the Term.
6.4 No Obligation to Pay Landlord’s Taxes. Nothing herein contained shall require or be construed to require Tenant to pay any transfer, recording, inheritance, estate, succession, franchise, excise, business privilege, income, gross receipts or profit tax, or capital levy that is or may be imposed upon Landlord.
6.5 Permitted Contests. Tenant shall have the right to contest any increase in any Taxes levied against the Premises, and Landlord shall cooperate with any reasonable request by Tenant in connection with such contest and permit Landlord’s name to be used in such contest, to the extent reasonably necessary.
ARTICLE VII
USE
7.1 Use of Premises. The Premises may be used for the operation of a research and development facility (including, but not limited to, development of medical devices including assembly and light manufacturing, and storage and use of compressed gases) and such other uses as may be incidental thereto or for any other use or purpose permitted by the applicable zoning authority from time to time and otherwise by law (“Use”). Nothing herein shall be deemed to require Tenant to continuously operate in the Premises.
7.2 Compliance with Law. Except as otherwise set forth herein, Tenant agrees that during the Term, Tenant will, at its expense, promptly comply with the following: (a) all applicable federal, state, county, city and municipal or other statutes, charters, laws, rules, orders, regulations and ordinances affecting Tenant’s occupancy and, use of the Premises (collectively, “Laws”); (b) all rules, orders, and regulations of all public officers including the police, health and fire departments; and (c) the requirements of all insurance companies having liability, fire and other insurance coverages in force and effect with respect to Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises.

ARTICLE XII
DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
12.1 Notification. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord of any fire or other casualty upon the Premises.
12.2 Total Destruction. If the Building or the Premises as a whole shall be totally destroyed by fire or other casualty, or if the Building or other portion of the Premises shall be so damaged by fire or other casualty that (in the opinion of a reputable contractor or architect designated by Tenant) its repair or restoration (a) would require more than one hundred eighty (180) days or (b) would require the expenditure of more than sixty percent (60%) of the full insurable value of the Premises immediately prior to the casualty, Landlord or Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease within thirty (30) days after such contractor or architect has given its written opinion to Tenant and Landlord. In such event, Landlord or Tenant shall provide the other party with a written termination notice, including a copy of the opinion given by the contractor or architect, and the termination shall be effective thirty (30) days after the date such damage occurred. In connection with such termination, Tenant shall be entitled to a portion of the insurance proceeds paid or payable on account of the fire or other casualty in an amount equal to unamortized costs incurred by Tenant, and Tenant shall turn over or assign to Landlord all of Tenant’s right, title and interest in the balance of such insurance proceeds. The foregoing notwithstanding, in the event that the Building or the Premises is damaged by fire or other
casualty during the last one hundred and eighty (180) days of the Term, Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease.
12.3 Repair Provisions. If the Building or other portion of the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty during the Term and neither Tenant nor Landlord elects not to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Article XII, then Landlord shall repair the damage and restore and rebuild the Building or other portion of the Premises or both with reasonable dispatch to the extent Landlord has collected the insurance proceeds attributable to such damage. Any such work by Landlord shall restore the Building or the other portions of the Premises or both to substantially their former condition, to the extent that the same is feasible (subject to those changes which Landlord reasonably deems desirable and to any changes in building and other governmental codes and regulations), so as to constitute a complete and tenantable Premises. If the Building or other portion of the Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty prior to the Commencement Date, Landlord shall be solely responsible for repairing any damage and restoring and rebuilding the Building and other portions of the Premises.
12.4 Rental Abatement. If the Building or other portion of the Premises shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty thereby causing the Building or other portion of the Premises to be totally or partially untenantable, the Base Monthly Rent shall be abated in the proportion that the untenantable area of the Building or other portion of the Premises bears to the total area of the Building or other portion of the Premises, for the period from the date of such damage or destruction to the date the damage or destruction is completely repaired or restored.
ARTICLE XIII
EMINENT DOMAIN
13.1 Notification. Either party shall give prompt notice to the other upon learning of a threatened Taking. For the purposes of this Lease, the term “Taking” means either a Total Taking or a Partial Taking; the term “Total Taking” means any taking of all or a portion of the Premises by condemnation or other governmental proceeding for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, on either a permanent or temporary basis, as a result of which it is unreasonable or impossible for Tenant to properly conduct its business in the Premises, as Tenant shall determine in its reasonable discretion; the term “Partial Taking” means any taking of a portion of the Premises by condemnation or other governmental proceeding for any public or quasi-public use or purpose other than a Total Taking.
13.2 Total Taking. In the event of a Total Taking, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of vesting of title in the condemning authority. In such event, Tenant shall be entitled to a portion of the condemnation award or proceeds payable on account of the Total Taking in an amount equal to Tenant’s losses attributable to Alterations and Major Alterations. In addition, Tenant shall have the right to claim from the condemning authorities such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant in its own right on account of any and all damages to Tenant’s business or property, the unamortized costs of any leasehold improvements to the Premises, the value of the unexpired term, Tenant’s trade fixtures, business damages (including business interruption insurance) and moving expenses if separately allocated and any
other losses incurred by Tenant, provided the filing of the claim does not diminish the award which would otherwise be receivable by Landlord.
13.3 Partial Taking. In the event of a Partial Taking, Tenant shall, provided that a condemnation award or awards shall be sufficient for the purpose, proceed with reasonable dispatch to repair the remaining parts of the Premises to substantially their former condition, to the extent that the same is feasible (subject to those changes which Tenant reasonably deems desirable and which are approved by Landlord in writing and to changes in building and other governmental codes and regulations), so as to constitute a complete and tenantable Premises; provided, however, if there is a Partial Taking which, in the judgment of Tenant reasonably exercised, results in the Premises being unsuitable for the Use, Tenant may terminate this Lease without any liability to Tenant or Landlord.
13.4 Rental Abatement. In the event of any Partial Taking, the Base Monthly Rent shall be reduced proportionately based on the amount of the Premises taken by the condemning authority. During any periods of repair to the Premises after a Partial Taking as provided in Section 13.3 above, the Base Monthly Rent (as reduced in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 13.4) shall be abated in the proportion that the untenantable area of the Building or other portion of the Premises (after the Partial Taking) bears to the total area of the Building or other portion of the Premises (after the Partial Taking).
ARTICLE XIV
LANDLORD’S ACCESS RIGHTS
Landlord and its agents shall have the right to enter the Premises, upon reasonable advance notice, at any reasonable time during business hours, except in cases of an emergency, to show the Premises to prospective purchasers or mortgagees of the Premises or to perform Landlord’s obligations. Tenant shall have the option of requiring Landlord to schedule any such showing at times during which the interference with Tenant’s employees and Tenant’s business operations will be minimized.

If Tenant remains in possession (except as provided in Section 9.3) after the Expiration Date of this Lease, and after any applicable renewal or extension periods properly exercised, or after any earlier termination
date of this Lease or of Tenant’s right to possession: (a) Tenant shall be deemed a tenant-at-will on a month-to-month basis on the same terms and conditions as provided in this Lease except that Base Monthly Rent shall be equal to 150% of the immediately preceding month’s Base Monthly Rent; (b) there shall be no renewal or extension of this Lease by operation of law; and (c) the tenancy at will may be terminated upon thirty (30) days’ notice from Landlord.

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
17.1 Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s written consent, in each and every instance, before entering into or permitting any “Transfer.” A “Transfer” consists of any of the following, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether effected by death, operation of law, or otherwise: (i) any assignment, mortgage, pledge, encumbrance, or other transfer of any interest in this Lease to any entity which is not an affiliate or subsidiary under common ownership with Tenant; (ii) any sublease, license, franchise, concession, or other occupancy of any portion of the Premises by any persons other than Tenant and its employees; and (iii) any transfer of this Lease by merger, consolidation of liquidation, or any change in ownership, or power to vote the majority of the outstanding voting stock of Tenant.

(a) Tenant fails to pay Rent or any other payment due hereunder when such sum is due and such failure continues and is not remedied within ten (10) days after written notice thereof to Tenant, provided that Tenant shall only be entitled to such notice and cure period twice in any twelve (12) month period;
(b) Tenant fails to comply with any provision of this Lease (other than a failure in any payment due hereunder which is addressed by paragraph (a) above) and such failure continues and is not remedied within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to Tenant; provided, however, that if the failure cannot, by its nature, be cured within such thirty (30) day period, but Tenant has commenced and is diligently pursuing a cure of such failure, then no Event of Default shall be deemed to have happened so long as Tenant remedies the failure within a reasonable period of time; or

Tax Parcel No. 251-0710-221-0104-3
EXHIBIT B
WORK LETTER
This Exhibit is attached to and made a part of the Lease by and between DAIRY DRIVE, LLC, a Wisconsin limited liability company (“Landlord”) and INO THERAPEUTICS LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Tenant”) for that certain real property, together with all improvements thereon and appurtenances thereto belonging, commonly known as 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000 (the “Premises”).
Building Improvements. Landlord agrees to deliver to Tenant the Premises, which shall include the Building Improvements (as defined below), subject to the terms and conditions of this Work Letter.
1. Building Improvements. The term “Building Improvements” shall include all work described in those certain final plans and specifications pages (a-1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 2.1) [NEED TO SEE PAGES 1.2,1.3 AND 2.1], which are attached hereto and prepared by TJK Design Build, Inc. (the “Design Build Contractor”), dated as of April 15, 2008 and the building specification attached hereto (collectively, the “Final Construction Documents”).
2. Substantially Complete. The term “Substantially Complete” shall mean that the Building Improvements are complete in accordance with the Final Construction Documents, the same being certified to the City of Madison, Wisconsin by the Design Build Contractor and subject only to Landlord’s completion of items on a punch list mutually agreed to by both Landlord and Tenant pursuant to Paragraph 7 below. If the Building Improvements are not Substantially Complete (subject to Tenant Delay and Force Majeure, as such terms are defined below) by July 7, 2008, Landlord shall pay Tenant two (2) days of free Base Monthly Rent for each day after July 7, 2008 until such date that the Building Improvements are Substantially Complete. If the Building Improvements are not Substantially Complete by September 1, 2008, Tenant may terminate this Lease without any further obligations hereunder, subject to Tenant Delay and Force Majeure.
3. Landlord Change Orders. Landlord shall submit to Tenant in the form of a change order acceptable to the Design Build Contractor, for Tenant’s review, any material change in the Building Improvements which will affect any matters previously approved by Tenant and which materially affect the appearance of the Building Improvements. Tenant shall have five (5) business days to review such change order and to approve such change order or disapprove such change order in writing, which disapproval shall contain written comments as to what changes would be necessary in order for Tenant to approve such change order. Tenant may not unreasonably withhold or condition its consent for any change order requested by Landlord. If Tenant shall not respond in writing within such five (5) business day period, such change order shall be deemed approved. If Tenant shall disapprove of any change order, Landlord and Tenant shall work together with the Design Build Contractor to expeditiously resolve Tenant’s concerns.
4. Tenant’s Change Orders. Tenant shall submit to Landlord for Landlord’s review, any request for a change in the Building Improvements. Landlord shall have five (5) business days to review such change order and to approve such change order or disapprove such change
order in writing, which disapproval shall contain written comments as to what changes would be necessary in order for Landlord to approve such change order. Landlord may not unreasonably withhold or condition its consent for any change order requested by Tenant. As part of any approval, Landlord shall supply to Tenant a cost estimate for the requested change order from the Design Build Contractor and the reasonable number of days the acceptance of such change order shall postpone the date the Building Improvements will be Substantially Complete (any such delay being deemed a Tenant Delay). Landlord agrees not to disapprove any change order unless such change order represents a material deviation from the Final Construction Documents. If Landlord shall not respond in writing within such five (5) business day period, such change order shall be deemed approved. If Landlord shall disapprove of any change order, Landlord and Tenant shall work together with the Design Build Contractor to expeditiously resolve Landlord’s concerns. No change in the Building Improvements shall be effective unless Landlord has executed a change order for such change, such change order being in a form acceptable to the Design Build Contractor. Any change in the Building Improvements which arises out of a request made by Tenant shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense as Additional Rent under the Lease payable upon the date when the Building Improvements are Substantially Complete.
5. Completion of Building Improvements. Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant that the Building Improvements shall be free from defects in workmanship and material, and the Building Improvements shall comply with the Final Construction Documents and with all applicable building codes and other legal requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth elsewhere in this Lease, Landlord will cause the repair or replacement of any defects in material or workmanship, if any, in and to the Building Improvements, if Landlord receives written notification of such defect from Tenant within the period of one (1) year after the Commencement Date of the Lease and under such circumstances such repair or replacement shall not be considered Operating Expenses under the Lease. Landlord will not be responsible for any defect of any nature in the Building Improvements of which Landlord is not so notified within such one (1) year period. LANDLORD MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, IN THE BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS EXCEPT THE WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN.
6. Completion of Tenant’s Work. All work necessary for Tenant to conduct its business in the Premises and not included in the Building Improvements shall be performed by Tenant and is deemed to be “Tenant’s Work.” Landlord shall have the right to reasonably approve all contractors and subcontractors retained by Tenant to perform Tenant’s Work. Tenant will do and perform at its expense all Tenants’ Work (a) diligently and promptly, (b) in a good and workmanlike manner, (c) in compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances, and (d) in a lien-free manner. Tenant shall be allowed access to the Premises prior to the Commencement Date in order to complete Tenant’s Work provided Tenant’s Work shall not materially hinder or interfere with Landlord’s completion of the Building Improvements. Landlord and Tenant agree to cooperate with each other in order to enable the Building Improvements and the Tenant’s Work to be performed in a timely manner.
7. Punch List Items. Upon or prior the date the Design Build Contractor indicates to Landlord the Building Improvements are Substantially Complete and Landlord delivers possession of the Premises to Tenant, Landlord’s and Tenant’s representatives together shall conduct a walk-through of the Building to compile a punch list of the “Punch List Items” (hereinafter defined). Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a copy of said punch list within ten (10) days after the walk-through. Landlord shall complete any Punch List Items within thirty (30) days after it receives a copy of said punch list. As used herein, the term “Punch List Items” shall mean such minor items of a cosmetic nature which, when considered as a whole, do not adversely affect either the performance of Tenant’s Work or Tenant’s ability to conduct its normal business operations in the Premises.
8. Tenant Delay. Any delay incurred by Landlord in completing the Building Improvements arising out of the approval process for a change order set forth in paragraphs 3 and 4 of this Work Letter or due to a delay caused by Tenant’s interference with Landlord’s completion of the Building Improvements shall be a “Tenant Delay” and shall toll any date by which the Premises must be Substantially Complete.
9. Force Majeure. If either party is delayed, hindered or prevented from the performance of an obligation because of acts of God, war, civil disturbances, restrictive governmental laws or regulations, riots, insurrection, or other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party delayed, but not including financial inability, the performance shall be excused for the period of delay. The period for the performance of the given obligation shall also be extended for a period equal to the period of delay but no more than sixty (60) days beyond the original deadline for the given obligation.

R E C I T A L S:
A. The Owner owns or is purchasing and will own all right, title and interest in that certain real property being, lying and situate in and more particularly described as set forth on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof (the “Property”); and
B. Pursuant to a lease dated as of by and between Owner, as landlord, and Tenant, as tenant (as the same may have been amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Lease”), Owner leases to Tenant the entire Property and the improvements thereon (collectively, the “Leased Premises”); and
C. A mortgage and security agreement has or will be given by the Owner to the Lender (the “Mortgage”) for the purpose of securing a loan by Lender to Owner, which Mortgage is secured, in part, by the Property; and
D. It is the desire and intention of the parties hereto to subordinate the operation of the Lease for the full term thereof to the lien and operation of the Mortgage, so that the Mortgage shall and will become a lien upon the Leased Premises and the Lease will be unconditionally subordinated thereto in every manner whatsoever, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto intending to be legally bound hereby, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the sum of Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable considerations, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, agree as follows:
1. Recitals. All of the above Recitals are hereby incorporated herein by reference and are made a part hereof.
2. Subordination. The Lease and the rights of Tenant thereunder are and shall be junior, inferior, subject and unconditionally subordinate in each and every respect to the lien, operation and effect of the Mortgage and to any and all advancements made thereunder and to any renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, additional advances, future advances and extensions thereof.
3. Non-Disturbance. The Lender does hereby agree with the Tenant that, so long as no Event of Default (as defined in the Lease) by Tenant exists, (a) the Lender will take no action which will interfere with or disturb the Tenant’s possession or lawful use of the Leased Premises or other rights under the Lease, and (b) in the event the Lender becomes the owner of the Property by foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, the Property shall be subject to the Lease and the Lender shall recognize the Tenant as a tenant on the Property for the remainder of the term of the Lease (as the same may be extended in accordance with the provisions of the Lease) and shall be bound by all of the terms of the Lease (including, without limitation, the [Work Letter]); provided, however, that the Lender shall not be liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord except for defaults of a continuing nature, or in connection with Landlord’s failure to provide the [Work Letter] subject to any offsets or defenses which the Tenant might have against any prior landlord except for any offsets or credits against rent that Tenant is entitled to take or receive as expressed in the Lease, nor shall the Lender be bound by any Base Monthly Rent (as defined in the Lease) which the Tenant might have paid for more than the current month to any prior landlord, nor shall Lender be bound by any material amendment or modification of the Lease unless Lender has received written notice of such material amendment or modification of the Lease.
4. Attornment. Both Lender and Tenant do hereby agree that, in the event the Lender becomes the owner of the Property by foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, then (i) the Tenant shall attorn to and recognize the Lender (its designees, assigns, or successor owner of the Property) as the landlord under the Lease for the remainder of the term thereof, and the Tenant shall perform and observe its obligations thereunder, subject only to the terms and conditions of said Lease, and (ii) the Lender (its designees, assigns, or successor owner of the Property) shall recognize the Tenant as the tenant under the Lease and be bound by all of the terms of the Lease (including, without limitation, the Work Letter), subject to the exceptions expressly provided in the last clause of paragraph 3 above. The Tenant further covenants and agrees to execute and deliver upon request of the Lender, or its successors or assigns, an appropriate and reasonable agreement of attornment, in a form acceptable to Tenant, to any subsequent title holder of the Property.
5. Notices Under Lease. So long as the Mortgage remains outstanding and unsatisfied, the Tenant shall deliver to the Lender, at the address and in the manner hereinbelow provided, a copy of all notices permitted or required to be given to the landlord by the Tenant under and pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Lease. Within the time permitted the landlord for curing any default under the Lease as therein provided, the Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, pay any taxes and assessments, make any repairs and improvements, make any deposits or do any other act or thing required of the landlord by the terms of the Lease; and all payments so made and all things so done and performed by the Lender shall be as effective to prevent the rights of the landlord from being forfeited or adversely affected because of any default under the Lease as the same would have been if done and performed by the landlord.
6. Assignment of Lease. The Tenant acknowledges that the Owner may execute and deliver to the Lender an assignment of the Lease as security for the loan which the Mortgage secures, and the Tenant hereby expressly consents to any such assignment and agrees to pay any rents under the Lease directly to Lender upon Lender’s written Notice to Tenant to make payments directly to Lender or at the direction of Lender. The Owner hereby authorizes and directs the Tenant (upon written direction to Tenant by the Lender) to pay the above sums directly to the Lender, or at the direction of Lender, and the Owner hereby agrees to hold Tenant harmless for any monies so paid directly to or at the direction of the Lender and agrees that Tenant shall have no liability whatsoever to Owner for any payments made in accordance with Lender’s notice or direction. Tenant agrees that neither Lender’s demanding or receiving any such payments, nor Lender exercising any other right, remedy, privilege, power, or immunity granted by the Mortgage (or other documents executed in conjunction therewith), will operate to impose any liability upon Lender for performance of any obligation of Owner under the Lease unless and until Lender becomes owner of the Property.
7. Notices. Any and all notices, elections or demands permitted or required to be made under this Agreement shall be in writing and will be deemed delivered or made upon the earlier of actual receipt if sent by overnight courier or hand delivered or three (3) days after same is mailed by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, with sufficient postage affixed, and addressed to the parties as follows:

9. Non-Waiver. No indulgence, waiver, election or non-election by the Lender under the Mortgage or any other loan documents associated with the Mortgage shall affect this Agreement.

14. Exculpation. In the event the Lender or any affiliate of the Lender (for purposes of this paragraph the term “Lender” shall include any corporation or partnership owned or controlled
by the Lender) acquires title to the Leased Premises and succeeds to the interest of Owner under the Lease, then, anything in the Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Lender shall have no personal liability for any damages resulting from its default under the terms of the Lease, and Tenant agrees that it shall look solely to the estate and interest of the Lender in the Leased Premises and the rents, issues and profits thereof, and the refinance and sale proceeds thereof, for the collection of any judgment (or other judicial process) requiring the payment of money by Lender in the event of any default or breach by Lender with respect to any of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease to be observed and/or performed by Lender, and no other assets of the Lender shall be subject to levy, execution or other procedures for the satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies.
15. Prevailing Clause. The Tenant agrees that any and all right of first refusal or rights to purchase, if any, to purchase any portion or all of the Property granted to it under the Lease is and are in all manner and respect unconditionally subordinate and inferior to the Mortgage and other Loan Documents in favor of Lender.
16. Insurance Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Lease or in this Agreement, Lender hereby agrees to promptly make any and all insurance proceeds and condemnation proceeds unconditionally available to Landlord for restoration of the Leased Premises.
17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original. The counterparts shall together constitute but one agreement.

poorly designed or proportioned structures; to obtain harmonious use of materials and color schemes; to insure the highest and best development of the World Dairy Center; to prevent haphazard, unharmonious improvement of building sites; to secure and maintain the proper setbacks from streets; and to thereby promote the development of the world Dairy Center as a high-quality development.

Such Committee members shall serve at the pleasure of, and may be replaced by, the owners of the World Dairy Center who together own a majority of the square footage of platted lots within the World Dairy Center.
