such excess rent and other excess consideration within ten (10) days following receipt thereof by Tenant.
Lessor shall have the right to sell, assign
or otherwise transfer, in whole or in part, its rights and obligations under this Lease and in the Project. In the event Lessor
shall sell, assign or otherwise transfer the Premises or the Project, upon assumption by Lessor’s transferee of Lessor’s
obligations under this Lease, Lessor shall have no liability following the date of such assignment to perform its covenants under
this Lease.
16. FIRE
AND OTHER CASUALTY.
a. Complete
Destruction. If the Premises are made wholly untenantable by fire, explosion or other casualty, Lessor may, at its option,
elect to terminate this Lease as of the date of such damage by written notice to Tenant given within thirty (30) days after the
casualty. Otherwise, Lessor may, at its election, restore the Premises to tenantable condition, in which event it shall give written
notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the casualty of Lessor’s election to restore. Base Rent and Additional Rent
shall be abated during the period that the Premises are untenantable in proportion to the reduction of tenantability during the
period of restoration. If Lessor shall elect to restore the Premises to tenantable condition, but Lessor shall not complete the
restoration within one hundred eighty (180) days after the occurrence of the casualty, then and thereafter this Lease may be terminated
by either Lessor or Tenant by written notice given within thirty (30) days after the expiration of said one hundred eighty (180)
days period.
b. Partial
Destruction. If the Premises are rendered partially untenantable by fire or other casualty, and if such damage cannot, in Lessor's
reasonable estimation, be materially restored within ninety (90) days of such damage or if the proceeds of any applicable insurance
are not made available to Lessor, then Lessor may terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant given within thirty (30) days
after the casualty. Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be abated during the period that the Premises are untenantable in proportion
to the reduction of tenantability during the period of restoration. Otherwise, Lessor may, at its election, restore the Premises
to tenantable condition, in which event it shall give written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the casualty of Lessor’s
election to restore.
c. Restoration.
If Lessor elects to restore, it shall proceed with reasonable diligence, subject to delays from causes beyond its reasonable control.
In no event shall the Lessor be required to restore any Alterations to the Premises made by or on behalf of the Tenant which may
be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty.
17. INSURANCE;
SUBROGATION.
a. Tenant’s
Insurance. Tenant agrees to purchase, in advance, and to carry in full force and effect during the Lease Term: (i) “All
risk” property insurance covering the full replacement value of all of Tenant’s leasehold improvements, trade fixtures
and personal property within the Premises, and (ii) commercial general liability insurance, providing coverage on an “occurrence”
rather than a “claims made” basis, which policy shall include coverage for Bodily Injury, Property Damage, Personal
Injury, Contractual Liability (applying to this Lease), and Independent Contractors, in current Insurance Services Office form
or other form which provides coverage at least as broad. Tenant shall maintain a combined policy limit of at least $1,000,000 applying
to Bodily Injury, Property Damage and Personal Injury, which limit may be satisfied by Tenant’s basic policy, or by the basic
policy in combination with umbrella or excess policies so long as the coverage is at least as broad as that required herein. Such
liability, umbrella and/or excess policies may be subject to aggregate limits so long as the aggregate limits have not at any pertinent
time been reduced to less than the policy limit stated above, and provided further that any umbrella or excess policy provides
coverage from the point that such aggregate limits in the basic policy become reduced or exhausted. Lessor shall be named as additional
insured under all such policies. At least ten (10) days prior to entry by Tenant on the Premises, Tenant shall deliver to Lessor
evidence that the insurance required by this Lease is in full force and effect. At least ten (10) days prior to expiration of any
such coverage, Tenant shall deliver evidence that the coverage in question will be renewed or replaced upon expiration. Such evidence
of insurance shall contain sufficient information to enable Lessor to determine whether Tenant’s insurance complies with
the requirements of this Lease. Upon request, Tenant shall also furnish insurer-certified copies of all pertinent policies. All
policies used to provide the coverage required by this Lease shall (i) be endorsed to require the insurer to provide at least
ten (10) days’ notice to Lessor prior to cancellation or non-renewal, and (ii) be issued by financially sound companies
having an A.M. Best Company rating of at least A:VII. Tenant may not maintain any insurance concurrent in form or contributing
in the event of loss unless Lessor is named therein as loss payee or additional insured.
x. Xxxxxx’x
Insurance. Lessor agrees to purchase or to cause the Property Manager to purchase in advance, and to carry in full force and
effect during the Lease Term: (i) “All risk” property insurance coverage on the Project, exclusive of the leasehold
and other improvements of the owners and tenants in the Project, in such amount as Lessor deems prudent, (ii) commercial general
liability insurance covering the Project, in a combined single limit amount of at least $1,000,000, and written on an “occurrence”
basis, and (iii) rent loss insurance with respect to the Premises with respect to such exposures and perils in an amount equal
to the Rent payable hereunder for a period of not more than twelve (12) months. Tenant shall reimburse Lessor for the premiums
and other expenses of maintaining such policies as additional rent if such costs and expenses are not otherwise included in Operating
Costs.
c. Alternate
Coverage. If any insurance required hereunder ceases to be available, or is available on terms so unacceptable that prudent
lessors or tenants, as the case may be, generally do not carry such insurance, then in lieu of such insurance, the pertinent party
may carry the most comparable insurance which is available and generally carried by prudent parties.
d. Waiver
of Subrogation. Notwithstanding any Provision of this Lease to the contrary, Lessor and Tenant each hereby release the other,
the Property Manager and the other owners of the Project and the managers, governors, employees, members of the other, the Property
Manager and the other owners of the Project from any and all liability or responsibility to the other or anyone claiming through
or under them by way of subrogation or otherwise for any loss or damage to property caused by fire or any of the extended coverage
casualties covered by the insurance required to be maintained hereunder, even if such loss or damage shall have been caused by
the fault or negligence of the other party or anyone for whom such party may be responsible; provided, however, that this release
shall be applicable and in force and effect only with respect to loss or damage occurring during such times as the releasor’s
policies shall contain a clause or endorsement to the effect that any release shall not adversely affect or impair said policies
or prejudice the right of the releasor to recover thereunder. Lessor and Tenant each agree that it will request its insurance carriers
to include in its policies such a clause or endorsement. The releases contained herein shall be mutually dependent covenants, and
the termination of one shall terminate the other.
e. Assumption
of Responsibility. Tenant assumes all responsibility for protecting the Premises from theft, robbery and pilferage, which includes
keeping doors locked and other means of entry to the Premises closed and secured after normal business hours. Lessor reserves the
right to impose such security restrictions in the Common Areas as it deems appropriate. The parties acknowledge that safety and
security devices, services and programs provided by Lessor, if any, while intended to deter crime and promote safety, may not in
given instances prevent theft or other criminal acts, or ensure safety of persons or property. The risk that any safety or security
device, service or program may not be effective, or may malfunction, or be circumvented by a criminal, is assumed by Tenant with
respect to Tenant property and interest, and Tenant shall obtain insurance coverage to the extent Tenant desires protection against
such criminal acts and other losses, as further described in this Lease. Tenant agrees to cooperate in any reasonable safety or
security program developed by Lessor or required by law.
18. WAIVER;
INDEMNIFICATION; HAZARDOUS MATERIALS.
a. Waiver.
Notwithstanding anything apparently to the contrary in this Lease, Lessor and its members, managers, employees and property manager
shall not be liable to Tenant, and Tenant hereby releases such parties from all damage, compensation or claims from any cause other
than the negligent act or intentional misconduct of Lessor or its members, managers, employees or property manager arising from:
loss or damage to personal property or trade fixtures in the Premises, including books, records, files, computer equipment, computer
data, money, securities, negotiable instruments or other papers; lost business or other consequential damage arising out of interruption
in the use of the Premises; and any criminal act by any person other than Lessor or its members, managers or employees.
b. Indemnification.
Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lessor and its members, managers, employees and property manager harmless from and
against any claim, loss or expense, including reasonable attorney’s fees arising out of injury, death or property loss or
damage occurring in the Premises, except to the extent caused by the negligent act or intentional misconduct of Lessor or its members,
managers, employees or property manager. Tenant further agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lessor and its members, managers,
employees and property manager harmless from and against any claim, loss or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees
arising out of any claim by the Existing Tenant or any of Tenant’s subtenants with respect to the breach of the Existing
Lease, Parking Leases or any sublease or the occurrence of any event on or after the Effective Date.
c. Hazardous
Materials. Tenant shall not install, use, generate, store or dispose of in or about the Premises any hazardous substance, toxic
chemical, pollutant or other material regulated by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act or
any similar law or regulation, including without limitation any material containing asbestos, PCB, CFC or HCFC (collectively “Hazardous
Materials”) without Lessor’s prior written approval of each Hazardous Material. Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold
its approval of use by Tenant of reasonable quantities of Hazardous Materials customarily used in office business operations so
long as Tenant uses such Hazardous Materials in accordance with all applicable laws. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Lessor
harmless from and against any claim, damage or expense arising out of Tenant’s installation, use, generation, storage, or
disposal of any Hazardous Materials, regardless of whether Lessor has approved the activity. To the best of Lessor knowledge, there
are either no Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about the Project or the presence of any such Hazardous Materials complies with
applicable laws.
19. EMINENT
DOMAIN. If the entire Project is taken by eminent domain, this Lease shall automatically terminate as of the date of taking.
If a portion of the Project is taken by eminent domain, Lessor shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving written notice
thereof to Tenant within ninety (90) days after the date of taking. If a portion of the Premises is taken by eminent domain and
this Lease is not terminated by Lessor, Lessor shall, at its expense, restore the Premises, exclusive of any Alterations made to
the Premises by Tenant, to as near the condition which existed immediately prior to the date of taking as reasonably possible,
and Base Rent and Additional Rent shall xxxxx during such period of time as the Premises are untenantable, in the proportion that
the untenantable portion of the Premises bears to the entire Premises. All damages awarded for a taking under the power of eminent
domain, whether for the whole or a part of the Premise, shall belong to, and be the property of Lessor, whether such damages shall
be awarded as compensation for diminution in value to the leasehold estate hereby created or to the fee of the Premises; provided,
however, that Lessor shall not be entitled to any separate award made to Tenant for loss of business, fair value of, and cost of
removal of stock and futures and for relocation. The term “eminent domain” shall include the exercise of any similar
governmental power and any purchase or other acquisition in lieu of condemnation.
20. HOLDING
OVER. Should Tenant, or any of its successors in interest, continue to occupy the Premises or any part thereof, after the expiration
or termination of this Lease, whether with or without the consent of Lessor, such tenancy shall be from month to month and the
monthly Rent shall be one hundred fifty percent (150%) that which would otherwise be payable under this Lease. If Tenant’s
holdover is without the consent of Lessor, neither this Section nor the acceptance of any Rent hereunder shall prevent Lessor from
exercising any remedy to regain immediate possession of the Premises.
21. QUIET
ENJOYMENT/LESSOR REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, AND COVENANTS.
a. Lessor
covenants that if Tenant timely pays all Rent provided for in this Lease, performs all of its obligations provided for under this
Lease, and observes all of the other Provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall, during the Lease Term, peaceably and quietly occupy
and enjoy the possession of the Premises in accordance with the Provisions of this Lease without any interruption or disturbance
from Lessor. Lessor shall not be responsible or liable for the actions of third parties, including the Existing Tenant and any
other owners or tenants in the Project. The liability of the original Lessor and any successor Lessor under this Lease is limited
to its interest in the Project and any insurance proceeds payable to Lessor with respect to the Project, and with respect to any
liability accrued prior to a transfer, any net proceeds received by the transferor Lessor in consideration of the transfer.
b. In
addition to the covenant of quiet enjoyment set forth in Section 21(a) above, Lessor covenants that Lessor shall not amend, modify
or alter in any way the terms of the REA if such amendment, modification or alteration will have a material adverse effect on the
Tenant’s rights or obligations under this Lease without Tenant’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
22. EVENTS
OF DEFAULT. The following events shall be deemed to be events of default by Tenant under this Lease:
a. Tenant
shall fail to pay any installment of Base Rent, Additional Base Rent, Additional Rent and/or any other sums that Tenant is obligated
to pay by any provision of this Lease when and as they become due and payable hereunder, which failure is not cured within five
(5) days after the giving of notice thereof by Lessor, such notice being in lieu of, and not in addition to, any applicable statutory
notice;
b. Tenant
shall fail to perform or observe any other Provision of this Lease, which failure is not cured within fifteen (15) days after the
giving of notice thereof by Lessor unless such default is of such nature that it cannot be cured within such fifteen (15) day period,
in which case no event of default shall occur so long as (i) Tenant shall commence the curing of the default within such fifteen
(15) day period and shall thereafter complete the curing thereof with reasonable diligence and continuity, and (ii) the continuation
of the default does not create material risk to the Project or to persons using the Project;
c. If
Tenant fails more than twice within any twelve (12) month period to observe or perform any Provision of this Lease (including,
without limitation, the payment of Rent), regardless of whether such defaults shall have been cured by Tenant, the third default
shall, at the election of Lessor, in its sole and absolute discretion, be deemed a noncurable event of default;
d. Tenant
or any guarantor of this Lease shall become insolvent, or shall make a transfer in fraud of creditors, or shall make an assignment
for the benefit of creditors.
e. Tenant
or any guarantor of this Lease shall file a petition under any section or chapter of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended,
or under any similar law or statute of the United States or any state thereof, or Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease shall be
adjudged bankrupt or insolvent in proceedings filed against Tenant thereunder.
f. A
receiver or trustee shall be appointed for all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease.
g. Tenant
shall desert, vacate or abandon any substantial portion of the Premises.
23. LESSOR’S
REMEDIES.
a. Tenant
hereby agrees that, upon the occurrence of an event of default, then, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to
Lessor by law or by other Provisions of this Lease, Lessor shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the remedies set
forth herein without any notice or demand.
(1) The
Lessor may, but shall not be required to, make the payment and/or perform the duty or obligation of Tenant hereunder giving rise
to such event of default and to enter the Premises as appropriate in connection therewith without being deemed in any manner guilty
of trespass, eviction or forcible entry and detainer and without incurring any liability for any damage resulting therefrom, and
Tenant agrees to pay to Lessor as additional rent due hereunder, the amount of any costs and expenses incurred by Lessor in thus
effecting compliance with Tenant’s obligations under this Lease plus 15% for overhead incurred by Lessor in connection therewith,
together with interest thereon, from the date paid by Lessor, at the lesser of 18% per annum or the highest rate permitted by law;
but the making of such payment or the performance of such duty or obligation by Lessor shall not, unless reimbursed by Tenant in
accordance with this Lease, operate to cure such default or to estop Lessor from the pursuit of any remedy which Lessor would otherwise
be entitled.
(2) Lessor
may, at its sole option, terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination to Tenant. Neither the passage of time after
the occurrence of the event of default nor exercise by Lessor of any other remedy with regard to such event of default shall limit
Lessor’s rights to terminate this Lease as provided herein.
(3) Whether
or not Lessor elects to terminate this Lease, Lessor may re-enter upon and repossess the Premises (said repossession being hereinafter
referred to as “Repossession”) by picking or changing locks, force, summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and
may (i) expel or remove Tenant and any other person or entity who may be occupying all or any part of the Premises, and (ii) remove
any and all property therefrom, in each case without being deemed in any manner guilty of trespass, eviction or forcible entry
or detainer, and without incurring any liability for any damage resulting therefrom, Tenant hereby waiving any right to claim damage
for such Repossession so long as Lessor complies with applicable law in connection with the Repossession. From time to time after
Repossession of the Premises, whether or not this Lease has been terminated, Lessor may, but shall not be obligated to, attempt
to relet all or any part of the Premises for the account of Tenant in the name of Lessor or otherwise, for such term or terms (which
may be greater or less than the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Lease Term) and on such terms
and conditions (which may include concessions or free rent) and for such uses as Lessor, in its reasonable discretion, may determine,
and may collect and receive the rent therefor. Any rent received shall be applied against Tenant’s obligations hereunder,
but Lessor shall not be responsible or liable for any failure to collect any rent due upon any such reletting. No termination of
this Lease or Repossession of the Premises pursuant to this Section or otherwise shall relieve Tenant of its liabilities and obligations
under this Lease, including, but not limited to, its liabilities and obligations for Rent and other sums and charges due and payable
and to become due and payable hereunder, all of which liabilities and obligations shall survive any such termination or Repossession.
In the event of any such termination or Repossession, whether or not the Premises shall have been relet, Tenant shall pay to Lessor
the Rent and other sums and charges to be paid by Tenant up to the time of such termination or Repossession, and thereafter Tenant,
until the end of what would have been the Lease Term in the absence of such termination or Repossession, shall pay to Lessor, as
and for liquidated and agreed current damages for Tenant’s default, the equivalent of the amount of the Rent and such other
sums and charges which would be payable under this Lease by Tenant if this Lease were still in effect, less the net proceeds actually
collected, if any, of any reletting effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section after deducting all of Lessor’s expenses
in connection with such reletting, including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage fees, management and leasing
commissions, advertisement expenses, operating expenses, legal expenses, attorneys’ fees, alteration costs, remodeling and
repair costs and expenses of preparation for such reletting. Tenant shall pay such current damages to Lessor monthly on the days
on which the Base Rent, Additional Rent and other sums and charges would have been payable under this Lease if this Lease were
still in effect, and Lessor shall be entitled to recover the same from Tenant on each such day. At the election of Lessor any time
after such termination or Repossession, whether or not Lessor shall have collected any current damages as aforesaid, Lessor shall
be entitled to recover from Tenant, and Tenant shall pay to Lessor on demand, as and for liquidated and agreed final damages for
Tenant’s default, an amount equal to the then present value of the excess of the Base Rent, Additional Rent and other sums
or charges reserved under this Lease from the date of such termination or Repossession and for what would be the then unexpired
Lease Term if the same had remained in effect plus the amount which Lessor estimates in its reasonable judgment to be the cost
of any reletting, less the amount of rent which Lessor estimates in its reasonable judgment that Lessor will in all likelihood
actually collect for the Premises for the same period, said present value to be arrived at on the basis of a discount rate equal
to the “Prime Rate” published in the Wall Street Journal on the date of such election by Lessor. Notwithstanding
any other remedy set forth in this Lease, in the event Lessor has made rent concessions of any type or character, or waived any
Base Rent, and Tenant fails to take possession of the Premises on the commencement or completion date or otherwise defaults at
any time during the term of this Lease, the rent concessions, including any waived Base Rent, shall be canceled and the amount
of the Base Rent or other rent concessions shall be due and payable immediately as if no rent concessions or waiver of any Base
Rent had ever been granted. A rent concession or waiver of the Base Rent shall not relieve Tenant of any obligation to pay any
Additional Rent or other charge due and payable under this Lease.
b. Late
Payment Charge; Interest. In the event Lessor does not receive any installment of Base Rent, Additional Base Rent, Additional
Rent, or any other charge payable hereunder within five days of the date on which it is due, or if any check submitted by Tenant
to Lessor is returned for nonsufficient funds, Tenant, unless prohibited by law, shall pay to Lessor, in addition to such amounts
owed under this Lease, a late charge in the amount of $250.00 as compensation to Lessor for administrative costs. Also, Lessor
retains the right to demand after the occurrence of a default by Tenant hereunder and thereafter while such default continues,
rental payments in the form of a certified check, cashier’s check or money order at no cost to Lessor. Any amount not paid
by any party to the other party when due hereunder shall accrue interest from the date the same is due and payable and until the
same is paid in full at the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the highest rate permitted by law. The provisions for
such late charge and interest shall be in addition to all of Lessor’s other rights and remedies hereunder or at law and shall
not be construed as liquidated damages or as limiting Lessor’s remedies in any manner.
c. Attorneys’
Fees. Tenant shall reimburse Lessor for all reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements incurred by Lessor in
enforcing its rights and remedies as a result of any default of Tenant, or in the collection of any amount due from Tenant under
this Lease.
24. SUBORDINATION
OF LEASE. For purposes of this Section 24, the term “Mortgage” shall mean at any time, any mortgage of record now
or hereafter placed against the Project, any increase, amendment, extension, refinancing or recasting of a Mortgage and, in the
case of a sale or lease and leaseback by Lessor of all or any part of the Project, the lease creating the leaseback. For the purposes
hereof, a Mortgage shall be deemed to continue in effect after foreclosure thereof until expiration of the period of redemption
therefrom. This Lease is subject and subordinate to the lien of any Mortgage which may now or hereafter encumber the Project or
any development of which the Project is a part. In confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after
request by Lessor, execute any certificate or other document requested by the holder of the Mortgage for the purpose of confirming
the matters set forth in Section 24, but not otherwise materially modifying Tenant’s rights under this Lease. Tenant agrees
that in the event that any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any Mortgage, Tenant shall immediately and automatically
attorn to the purchaser at such foreclosure sale, as the lessor under this Lease, and Tenant waives the provisions of any statute
or rule of law, now or hereafter in effect, which may give or purport to give Tenant any right to terminate or otherwise adversely
affect this Lease or the obligations of Tenant hereunder in the event that any such foreclosure proceeding is prosecuted or completed.
Neither the holder of the Mortgage (whether it acquires title by foreclosure or by deed in lieu thereof) nor any purchaser at foreclosure
sale shall be liable for an act or omission of Lessor occurring prior to the date of acquisition of title, nor subject to any offsets
or defenses which Tenant might have against Lessor nor bound by any prepayment by Tenant of more than one month’s installment
of Base Rent and Additional Rent nor by any modification of this Lease made subsequent to the granting of the Mortgage unless consented
to by the holder of the Mortgage. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 24, so long as Tenant is not in default
under this Lease, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect and the holder of the Mortgage and any purchaser at foreclosure
sale thereof shall not disturb Tenant’s possession hereunder.
25. NOTICES.
All notices or other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be effective if hand delivered or sent by registered
or certified first-class mail, postage prepaid, or by overnight express service which maintains confirmation of delivery, (i) if
to Lessor at Lessor’s address set forth below, and (ii) if to Tenant, at Tenant’s address set forth below or at the
Premises, unless notice of a change of address is given pursuant to the provisions of this Section. The day notice is given by
mail shall be deemed to be the day following the day of mailing. If acceptance is refused, as evidenced by the records of the postal
service or overnight delivery service, notice shall be deemed given on the date acceptance is refused. Lessor and Tenant shall
each have the right at any time and from time to time to designate one (1) additional party to whom copies of any notice shall
be sent.

26. RULES
AND REGULATIONS. Tenant shall use the Premises and the Common Areas of the Project in accordance with the Provisions of this
Lease and such additional rules and regulations as may from time to time be reasonably made by Lessor for the general safety, comfort
and convenience of the owners, occupants and tenants of the Project, including, but not limited to, those set forth on Exhibit
E hereto. Tenant shall use its best efforts to cause Tenant’s agents, customers, employees and invitees to abide by such
rules and regulations. Lessor shall in no event be responsible to Tenant for enforcement of such rules and regulations against
other tenants of the Project.
27. ENERGY;
GOVERNMENTAL ACTION. Whenever Lessor is required to keep or perform any Provision of this Lease, Lessor shall be deemed to
have kept and performed such Provisions notwithstanding any act or omission taken by the Lessor, if such act or omission is pursuant
to any governmental regulations, requirements, directives or requests, or if Lessor deems such action to be for the benefit of
our national interest or the general public. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lessor may reduce the quantity and
quality of all utility and other services and impose such regulations as the Lessor reasonably deems necessary in order to conserve
energy, and may change the Usual Business Hours. Utility in the sense of this Section 27 includes, but is not limited to heating,
cooling, electricity, water and all the sources of energy needed to provide such.
28. LIGHT
AND AIR. Tenant has no right to light or air over any premises adjoining the Project.
29. BROKERAGE
FEES. N/A
30. LESSOR’S
USE. It is understood that Lessor may occupy portions of the Project in the conduct of the Lessor’s business. In such
event, all references herein to other tenants of the Project shall be deemed to include Lessor as an occupant or tenant.
31. MISCELLANEOUS
TAXES.
a. Tenant
shall pay prior to delinquency all taxes assessed against or levied upon its occupancy of the Premises, or upon the fixtures, furnishings,
equipment and personal property of Tenant located in the Premises, if nonpayment thereof shall or would give rise to a lien on
the Project or any part thereof, and when possible, Tenant shall cause said fixtures, furnishings, equipment and personal property
to be assessed and billed separately from the property of Lessor. In the event any or all of Tenant’s fixtures, furnishings,
equipment and personal property, or Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises, shall be assessed and taxed with the property of
Lessor, Tenant shall pay to Lessor as additional rent hereunder its share of such taxes within ten (10) days after delivery to
Tenant by Lessor of a statement in writing setting forth the amount of such taxes applicable to Tenant’s fixtures, furnishings,
equipment or personal property, or occupancy of the Premises.
b. If,
under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or any political subdivision in which the Premises are situated, a tax
or excise on rents or other tax, however described, is levied or assessed against Lessor or all or any part of the Rent reserved
hereunder, in addition to, in lieu of or as a substitute in whole or in part for taxes and assessments commonly known as real estate
taxes, Tenant shall pay and discharge such tax or excise on rents or other tax, but only to the extent of the amount thereof which
is lawfully assessed or imposed upon Lessor, and which was so assessed or imposed as a direct result of Lessor’s ownership
of the Premises or of this Lease, or of the rental accruing under this Lease.
32. ESTOPPEL
CERTIFICATE; FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
a. Tenant
Estoppel Certificates. Tenant agrees, within ten (10) days after request by Lessor, to deliver to Lessor or Lessor’s
designee, including without limitation, the present or any future holder of any mortgage(s) on the Project or the Premises, or
any prospective purchaser of the Project or Premises, a written estoppel certificate: (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified
and in full force and effect, or if there have been modifications, that the Lease is in full force and effect as modified and stating
the modifications; (ii) stating the dates to which the Rent and other charges hereunder have been paid by Tenant; (iii) stating
whether or not Lessor is in default in the performance of any Provision of this Lease, and, if so, specifying each such default;
(iv) agreeing that Tenant and Lessor will not thereafter modify this Lease without the approval of any mortgagee identified by
Lessor; (v) agreeing that, except for any security deposit required herein, Tenant shall not prepay any Rent more than 30 days
in advance; and (vi) such other matters relating to this Lease as may reasonably be requested. Any such estoppel certificate delivered
pursuant hereto may be relied upon by any owner of the Project, any prospective purchaser of the Project, any mortgagee or prospective
mortgagee of the Project or of Lessor’s interest, or any prospective assignee of any such mortgagee. Tenant acknowledges
that failure to comply with this Section 32 on a timely basis could result in a loss of a favorable sale or financing and Tenant
agrees to be liable for any consequential damages resulting from Tenant’s breach hereunder.
x. Xxxxxx
Estoppel Certificates. Lessor agrees, within ten (10) days after request by Tenant, to deliver to Tenant or Tenant’s
designee, a completed estoppel certificate certifying items (i)-(vi) of Section 32(a) above.
c. Financial
Statements. Tenant shall within ten (10) days after request, but not more often than once in a calendar year, deliver to Lessor
its most recent quarterly financial statement, which shall be for the quarter which ends not earlier than 75 days prior to the
date of the request, including balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flow. Such financial statement shall be audited
if an audited financial statement exists, and if unaudited shall be certified by Tenant’s president or chief financial officer
to be in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Unless such financial statements are public, Lessor shall treat
such financial statements as confidential, provided that Lessor may disclose them to a bona fide prospective purchaser or mortgagee
so long as any such recipient agrees to treat as confidential any such financial statement received.
33. SECURITY
INTEREST. To secure the payment and performance of its obligations under this Lease, Tenant hereby grants to Lessor a security
interest under the Uniform Commercial Code in all property of Tenant now or hereafter placed in or on the Premises, including but
not limited to leasehold improvements, trade fixtures, furnishings and inventory. Tenant agrees to execute such financing statements
and furnish such information as Lessor may from time to time request in order to perfect this security interest. Lessor may at
its election file a copy of this Lease as a financing statement. Lessor, as secured party, shall be entitled to all of the rights
and remedies available to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code. Lessor’s security interest is and shall remain
subject and subordinate to any lien securing bona fide purchase money financing of any of the property in question in favor of
a party unaffiliated with Tenant.
34. LESSOR
DEFAULT. If Lessor defaults in the performance of its obligations under this Lease, Tenant may give Lessor written notice thereof
and Lessor shall have thirty (30) days after Lessor’s receipt of Tenant’s default notice to cure such default; provided,
however, that if such default cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, Lessor shall have as much time to cure such default
as is necessary, provided Lessor promptly commences and diligently pursues such cure; and provided further, that if the default
relates to a matter which, in Tenant’s reasonable judgment, is of an emergency nature, Lessor shall have only forty-eight
(48) hours (or such lesser period as is reasonable under the circumstances) to cure such default. If Lessor fails to cure any such
default within such cure period (or, if this Lease elsewhere provides for a shorter cure period, or no cure period, if Lessor commits
such a default), it shall be deemed an event of default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, Tenant, at its option, may
cure the default in which event Lessor shall reimburse Tenant for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Tenant
in connection with such cure within twenty (20) days of receiving an invoice for such amount from Tenant with reasonable supporting
documentation. Any such amount not paid by Lessor when due shall accrue interest from the date the same is due and payable and
until the same is paid at the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the highest rate permitted by law. In addition to the
foregoing remedies, the Tenant shall be entitled to such other legal and equitable remedies as may be provided by applicable law.
35. MISCELLANEOUS.
a. Gender.
Words of any gender used in this Lease shall be held and construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular number
shall be held to include the plural, unless the context otherwise requires.
b. Binding
Effect. This Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and, subject to the restrictions and
limitations herein contained, upon their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.
c. Waiver.
Lessor’s acceptance of Rent shall not be an acquiescence to any default nor a waiver of Lessor’s right to enforce the
default, regardless of Lessor’s knowledge of any default. The acceptance of Rent after the expiration or termination of this
Lease or after Lessor’s exercise of the right of re-entry shall not reinstate, continue or extend the Lease Term or revoke
such notice or action on the Lessor’s part or waive Tenant’s default and Lessor’s right to terminate Tenant’s
possession. No act or thing done by Lessor or its agents, employees or property manager during or after the Lease Term, including,
but not limited to, the explicit acceptance of surrender of the Premises shall constitute a release of Tenant’s liability
to perform this Lease. Acceptance of a part of the Rent due by Lessor shall not be a waiver of the balance due. Failure or delay
of Lessor in enforcing any default of Tenant, whether the default is known to Lessor or not, shall not relieve Tenant of the obligation
to perform all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease and shall not waive Lessor’s right to enforce such default
or future defaults. There shall be no acceptance of surrender of the Premises, waiver of default, extension of the Lease Term,
amendment of the Rent or any other modification of this Lease except as done specifically in writing and signed by the Lessor.
No re-entry by Lessor and no acceptance by Lessor of keys from Tenant, shall be considered an acceptance of a surrender of the
Lease.
d. Holidays.
For purposes of this Lease, holidays shall be defined as New Years Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving
Day and Christmas Day.
e. Survival.
The indemnification obligations of the parties and the other Provisions of this Lease which relate to periods subsequent to the
expiration or termination of this Lease shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.
f. Entire
Agreement. This Lease contains the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the Premises, the Common areas and
the Building and the Project.
g. Amendment.
This Lease shall not be amended or extended except by written agreement signed by both parties.
h. Governing
Law. This Lease and its performance shall be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota.
i. Headings.
The Section headings in this Lease are for convenience only and do not limit, enlarge or construe the text of this Lease, which
shall govern.
j. Multiple
Tenants. If more than one person or entity shall sign this Lease as Tenant, the obligations set forth herein shall be deemed
joint and several obligations of each party.
k. Time.
Time is of the essence.
l. Relationship
of Parties. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed to create a partnership or joint venture of or between
Lessor and Tenant, or to create any other relationship between the parties other than that of lessor and tenant.
m. Payment
Terms. Whenever any Provision of this Lease requires Tenant to pay any amount to Lessor or to reimburse Lessor for any costs,
expenses or charges, such payment shall, unless otherwise specified in this Lease, be due and payable in full as additional rent
hereunder within ten (10) days of the date of Lessor’s invoice for the same.
n. Invalidity
of Particular Provisions. If any provision of this Lease is or becomes illegal, invalid, or unenforceable because of present
or future laws or any rule or regulation of any governmental authority, effective during the Lease Term, the intention of the parties
hereto is that the remaining Provisions of this Lease shall not be affected thereby unless such illegality, invalidity, or unenforceability
is, in the sole determination of Lessor, essential to the rights of both parties in which event Lessor has the right to terminate
this Lease on written notice to Tenant.
36. EXPIRATION
DATE FOR ACCEPTANCE OF LEASE. The submission of this Lease to Tenant or its broker or other agent does not constitute an offer
to Tenant to lease the Premises. This Lease shall have no force and effect until, (i) it is executed and delivered by Tenant to
Lessor and (ii) it is fully reviewed and executed by Lessor; provided, however, that upon execution of this Lease by Tenant and
delivery to Lessor, such execution and delivery by Tenant shall, in consideration of the time and expense incurred by Lessor in
reviewing the Lease and Tenant’s credit, constitute an offer by Tenant to Lease the Premises upon the terms and conditions
set forth herein (which offer to lease shall be irrevocable for ten (10) business days following the date of delivery.
