ARTICLE III

LEASE TERM; EXTENSION

Section 3.01. Initial Term. The initial term of this Lease (“Initial Term”) shall commence as of the Effective Date and shall expire at midnight on the Initial Term Expiration Date, unless terminated sooner as provided in this Lease and as may be extended as provided herein. The time period during which this Lease shall actually be in effect, including any Extension Term, is referred to as the “Lease Term.”

Section 3.02. Extensions. Unless this Lease has expired or has been sooner terminated, or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time any extension option is exercised, Lessee shall have the right and option (each, an “Extension Option”) to extend the Initial Term for all and not less than all of the Property for four (4) additional successive periods of five (5) years each (each, an “Extension Term”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Lease then in effect.

Section 3.03. Notice of Exercise. Lessee may only exercise the Extension Options by giving its irrevocable written notice thereof to Lessor of its election to do so no later than nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the then-current Lease Term. If written notice of the exercise of any Extension Option is not received by Lessor by the applicable dates described above, then this Lease shall terminate on the last day of the Initial Term or, if applicable, the last day of the Extension Term then in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lessee is entitled to exercise an option to renew but fails to give Lessor timely written notice of such exercise, then Lessor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give Lessee written notice of such failure, and Lessee shall have the right to exercise such Extension Option by written notice to Lessor given within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notice. Upon the request of Lessor or Lessee, the parties hereto will, at the expense of Lessee, execute and exchange an instrument in recordable form setting forth the extension of the Lease Term in accordance with this Section 3.03.

Section 3.04. Removal of Personalty. Upon the expiration of the Lease Term, Lessee may remove from the Property all personal property, equipment and trade fixtures belonging to Lessee. Lessee shall repair any damage caused by such removal and shall leave all of the Property

clean and in good and working condition and repair inside and out, subject to normal wear and tear, casualty and condemnation. Any property of Lessee left on the Property on the tenth (10^th) day following the expiration of the Lease Term shall, at Lessor’s option, automatically and immediately become the property of Lessor.

ARTICLE IV

RENTAL AND OTHER MONETARY OBLIGATIONS

Section 4.01. Base Monthly Rental. During the Lease Term, on or before the first day of each calendar month, Lessee shall pay in advance the Base Monthly Rental then in effect. If the Effective Date is a date other than the first day of the month, Lessee shall pay to Lessor on the Effective Date the Base Monthly Rental prorated by multiplying the Base Monthly Rental by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days remaining in the month (including the Effective Date) for which Rental is being paid, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such month.

Section 4.02. Adjustments During Initial Lease Term. During the Initial Lease Term (excluding any Extension Term), on the first Adjustment Date and on each Adjustment Date thereafter, the Base Annual Rental shall increase by an amount equal to the Rental Adjustment.

Section 4.03. Adjustment During Extension Terms. The Base Annual Rental for each Extension Term shall be equal to the then “Fair Market Rental Rate,” as hereinafter defined; provided, however, in no event shall the Fair Market Rental Rate be less than the Base Annual Rental in effect during the last year of the then expiring Initial Lease Term or Extension Term, as the case may be. As used herein, the "Fair Market Rental Rate" payable by Lessee for each Extension Term shall mean the Base Annual Rental for space comparable in size, location and quality to the Property for a comparable term, and in other comparable buildings in the vicinity of the Property, taking into consideration all out-of-pocket concessions generally being granted at such time for such comparable space, including the condition and value of existing tenant improvements in the Property. Lessor shall provide Lessee with its determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate within ten (10) days after receipt of Lessee's notice to extend the Lease Term. Lessee shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of Lessor's notice in which to notify Lessor of any objection thereto. In the event Lessee notifies Lessor of its objection to the computation of such rental rate, then the parties shall negotiate in good faith for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days in order to come to agreement thereon. In the event the parties are unable to agree upon such rate within such thirty (30) day period, then Lessee shall have the right within ten (10) days thereafter to require that Lessor and Lessee each, at its cost and by giving written notice to the other party, appoint a competent and impartial commercial real estate broker (hereinafter “broker”) with at least five (5) years’ full-time commercial real estate brokerage experience in the geographical area of the Property to set the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Extension Term. Each broker shall submit its valuation of the Fair Market Rental Rate in accordance herewith within ten (10) days after selection, and if the valuations are within ten percent (10%) of each other, then the valuations shall be averaged together to arrive at the Fair Market Rental Rate of the Property. In the event the valuations have a disparity greater than ten percent (10%), then the brokers shall select a third broker, who shall submit a valuation in accordance with the foregoing within ten (10) days after selection. The two valuations which are the closest to each other shall then be averaged together to arrive at the current Fair Market Rental Rate. Upon determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate for the

Extension Term in accordance with the terms outlined above, Lessor and Lessee shall immediately execute an amendment to the Lease Agreement. Such amendment shall set forth among other things, the Base Annual Rental for the Extension Term and the actual commencement date and expiration date of the Extension Term.

Section 4.04. Additional Rental. Lessee shall pay and discharge, as additional rental (“Additional Rental”), all sums of money required to be paid by Lessee under this Lease which are not specifically referred to as Rental. Lessee shall pay and discharge any Additional Rental when the same shall become due, provided that amounts which are billed to Lessor or any third party, but not to Lessee, shall be paid within fifteen (15) days after Lessor’s written demand for payment thereof. In no event shall Lessee be required to pay to Lessor any item of Additional Rental that Lessee is obligated to pay and has paid to any third party pursuant to any provision of this Lease.

Section 4.05. Late Charges. Any payment that is not paid to Lessor within ten (10) days of the due date shall, in addition to any other remedy of Lessor, incur a late charge of two percent (2%) (which late charge is intended to compensate Lessor for the cost of handling and processing such delinquent payment and should not be considered interest); provided, however, in no event shall Lessee be obligated to pay a late charge higher than the maximum legal rate then in effect.

Section 4.06. Holdover. If Lessee remains in possession of the Property after the expiration of the Lease Term hereof, Lessee, at Lessor’s option and within Lessor’s sole discretion, may be deemed a tenant on a month‑to‑month basis and shall continue to pay Rentals and other Monetary Obligations in the amounts herein provided, except that the Base Monthly Rental shall be automatically increased to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the last Base Monthly Rental payable under this Lease, and Lessee shall comply with all the terms of this Lease; provided that nothing herein nor the acceptance of Rental by Lessor shall be deemed a consent to such holding over.

ARTICLE V

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF LESSEE

The representations and warranties of Lessee contained in this Article V are being made to induce Lessor to enter into this Lease, and Lessor has relied, and will continue to rely, upon such representations and warranties. Lessee represents and warrants to Lessor as follows:

ARTICLE VI

TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS; UTILITIES; INSURANCE

Section 6.01. Taxes.

(a) Payment. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.01(b) below, Lessee shall pay and discharge, no later than the last day on which payment be made without penalty or interest, any and all taxes and installments of special assessments assessed against or imposed upon the Property or Lessee during the Lease Term related to or arising out of this Lease and the activities of the parties hereunder, including without limitation, (i) all taxes or assessments upon the Property or any part thereof and upon any personal property, trade fixtures and improvements located on the Property, whether belonging to Lessor or Lessee, or any tax or charge levied in lieu of such taxes and assessments; and (ii) all taxes, charges, license fees and or similar fees imposed by reason of the use of the Property by Lessee. Notwithstanding anything in clauses (i) through (ii) to the contrary, Lessee shall not be obligated to pay or reimburse Lessor for any taxes based on the net income of Lessor or any corporate franchise, estate, inheritance, gift tax or tax imposed on the transfer of Lessor’s interest in the Lease or the Property. Lessee shall have the right to pay special assessments in installments over the longest permissible periods.

(b) Right to Contest. Within thirty (30) days after each tax and assessment payment is required by this Section 6.01 to be paid, Lessee shall provide Lessor with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lessor that taxes and assessments have been timely paid by Lessee. In the event Lessor receives a tax xxxx, Lessor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to forward said xxxx to Lessee within fifteen (15) days of Lessor’s receipt thereof. Lessee may, at its own expense, contest or cause to be contested (in the case of any item involving more than $100,000, after prior written notice to Lessor, which shall be given within fifteen (15) days of Lessee’s determination to contest any matter as permitted herein), by appropriate legal proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence, any above‑described item or lien with respect thereto, provided that (i) neither the Property nor any interest therein would be in any danger of being sold, forfeited or lost by reason of such proceedings; (ii) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (iii) if and to the extent required by the applicable taxing authority and/or Lessor, Lessee posts a bond or takes other steps acceptable to such taxing authority and/or Lessor that removes such lien or stays enforcement thereof; and (iv) upon termination of such proceedings, it shall be the obligation of Lessee to pay the amount of any such tax and assessment or part thereof as finally determined in such proceedings, the payment of which may have been deferred during the prosecution of such proceedings, together with any costs, fees (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements), interest, penalties or other liabilities in connection therewith. Lessor shall at the request of Lessee, execute or join in the execution of any instruments or documents necessary in connection with such contest or proceedings, but Lessor shall incur no cost or obligation thereby.

(c) Tax Escrow Account. During the pendency of any uncured Event of Default hereunder, upon written notice from Lessor, Lessee shall pay or cause to be paid into a separate account (the "Tax Account") to be established by Lessee with a lending institution designated by Lessor (which Tax Account shall not be removed from such lending institution without the express prior approval of Lessor), and which Lessor may draw upon, a reserve amount sufficient to discharge the obligations of Lessee under Section 6.01 hereof with respect to real estate taxes for the applicable Fiscal Year as and when they become due (such amounts, the "Tax Escrow Amount"). During each month commencing with the first full calendar month following the receipt of said notice from Lessor, Lessee shall deposit into the Tax Account one twelfth of the Tax Escrow Amount so that as each installment of real estate taxes becomes due and payable, there are sufficient funds in the Tax Account to pay the same. If the amount of such and real estate taxes has not been definitively ascertained by Lessee at the time when any such monthly deposit is to be paid, Lessor shall require payment of the Tax Escrow Amount based upon the amount of real estate taxes paid for the preceding year, subject to adjustment as and when the amount of such real estate taxes are ascertained by Lessee. The Tax Escrow Amount in the Tax Account shall be and constitute additional security for the performance of Lessee's obligations hereunder and shall, if there are sufficient funds in escrow, be used to pay taxes when due.

Section 6.02. Utilities. Lessee shall contract, in its own name, for and pay when due all charges for the connection and use of water, gas, electricity, telephone, garbage collection, sewer use and other utility services supplied to the Property during the Lease Term.

Section 6.03. Insurance.

(a) Coverage. Throughout the Lease Term, Lessee shall maintain, with respect the Property, at its sole expense, the following types and amounts of insurance, in addition to such other insurance as Lessor may reasonably require from time to time:

(i) Insurance against loss or damage to real property and personal property under an “all risk” or “special form” insurance policy, which shall include coverage against all risks of direct physical loss, including but not limited to loss by fire, lightning, wind, terrorism, and other risks normally included in the standard ISO special form. Such insurance shall be in amounts not less than 100% of the full insurable replacement cost values.

(ii) Commercial general liability insurance, including products and completed operation liability, covering Lessor and Lessee against bodily injury liability, property damage liability and personal and advertising injury, and liability arising out of the ownership, maintenance, repair, condition or operation of the Property. Such insurance shall be in amounts of not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage, and $2,000,000 general aggregate. Such limits of insurance can be acquired through Commercial General liability and Umbrella liability policies.

(iii) Workers’ compensation and Employers Liability insurance with statutorily mandated limits covering all persons employed by Lessee on the Property in connection with any work done on or about the Property for which claims for death or bodily injury could be asserted against Lessor, Lessee or the Property.

(b) Insurance Provisions. All insurance policies shall:

(i) provide for a waiver of subrogation by the insurer as to claims against Lessor covered under the “all risk” or “special form” insurance policy described in Section 6.03(a)(i);

(ii) be primary and provide that any “other insurance” clause in the insurance policy shall exclude any policies of insurance maintained by Lessor and the insurance policy shall not be brought into contribution with insurance maintained by Lessor;

(iii) contain deductibles not to exceed $100,000;

(iv) except for workers’ compensation insurance referred to in Section 6.03(a)(iii) above, name Lessor and any Lessor Affiliate or Lender requested by Lessor, as an “additional insured” with respect to liability insurance; and

(v) be issued by insurance companies licensed to do business in the state of Minnesota.

(c) Blanket Policies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.03, any insurance which Lessee is required to obtain pursuant to this Section 6.03 may be carried under a “blanket” policy or policies covering other Property or liabilities of Lessee provided that such “blanket” policy or policies otherwise comply with the provisions of this Section 6.03.

ARTICLE VII

MAINTENANCE; ALTERATIONS

Section 7.01. Condition of Property; Maintenance. Lessee hereby accepts the Property “AS IS” and “WHERE IS” with no representation or warranty of Lessor as to the condition thereof. Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, be responsible for (a) keeping all of the building, structures and improvements erected on the Property in good order and repair, free from actual or constructive waste, subject to ordinary wear and tear; (b) the repair or reconstruction of any building, structures or improvements erected on the Property damaged or destroyed by a Casualty; and (c) subject to Section 7.02, making all necessary structural, non-structural, exterior and interior repairs to any building, structures or improvements erected on the Property.

Section 7.02. Alterations and Improvements. During the Lease Term, Lessee shall not alter the exterior, structural, plumbing or electrical elements of the Property in any manner without the written consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned; provided, however, Lessee may undertake non-structural alterations to the Property that cost less than $50,000, individually, and do not materially affect the exterior appearance of the Property, without Lessor’s prior written consent. If Lessor’s consent is required hereunder and Lessor consents to the making of any such alterations, the same shall be made by Lessee at Lessee’s sole expense by a licensed contractor and according to plans and specifications approved by Lessor and subject to such other conditions as Lessor shall reasonably require. Any work at any time commenced by Lessee on the Property shall be prosecuted diligently to completion, shall be of good workmanship and materials shall not void, invalidate or otherwise compromise any existing

Warranty, and shall comply fully with all the terms of this Lease and all Legal Requirements. Upon completion of any alterations individually costing $50,000 or more, Lessee shall promptly provide Lessor with evidence of full payment to all laborers and materialmen contributing to the alterations. Lessee shall keep the Property free from any liens arising out of any work performed on, or materials furnished to, the Property.

ARTICLE VIII

USE OF THE PROPERTY; COMPLIANCE

Section 8.01. Use. During the Lease Term, the Property shall be used for the operation of a Permitted Facility.

Section 8.02. Compliance. Lessee’s use and occupation of the Property, and the condition thereof, shall, at Lessee’s sole cost and expense, comply fully with all Legal Requirements and all restrictions, covenants and encumbrances of record, and any owner obligations under such Legal Requirements, or restrictions, covenants and encumbrances of record, with respect to the Property, in either event, the failure with which to comply could have a Material Adverse Effect. Lessee shall obtain, maintain and comply with all required licenses and permits, both governmental and private, to use and operate the Property as a Permitted Facility. Lessee will use its best efforts to prevent any act or condition to exist on or about the Property that will materially increase any insurance rate thereon, except when such acts are required in the normal course of its business and Lessee shall pay for such increase. All references to any obligations of the “owner” in the Environmental Covenant shall apply solely to Lessee, and any failure by Lessee to comply with such obligations shall constitute an Event of Default under this Lease (subject to the notice and cure period set forth in Section 12.01(f)).

Section 8.03. Environmental.

(a) Covenants.

(i) Lessee covenants to Lessor during the Lease Term, subject to the limitations of subsection (ii) below, as follows:

(A) All uses and operations on or of the Property, whether by Lessee or any other Person, shall be in compliance with all Environmental Laws and permits issued pursuant thereto.

(B) There shall be no Releases in, on, under or from the Property, except in Permitted Amounts.

(C) There shall be no Hazardous Materials or Regulated Substances in, on or under the Property, except in Permitted Amounts. Above and below ground storage tanks shall be properly permitted and only used as permitted.

(D) Lessee shall not act or fail to act or allow any other tenant, occupant, guest, customer or other user of the Property to act or fail to act

in any way that (1) materially increases a risk to human health or the environment, (2) poses an unreasonable or unacceptable risk of harm to any Person or the environment (whether on or off any of the Property), (3) has a Material Adverse Effect, or (4) is contrary to any material requirement set forth in the insurance policies maintained by Lessee or Lessor, or (5) constitutes a public or private nuisance.

(ii) Notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, an Event of Default shall not be deemed to have occurred as a result of the failure of Lessee to satisfy any one or more of the covenants set forth in subsections (A) through (D) above provided that Lessee shall be in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of any Governmental Authority with respect to the Remediation of any Release at the Property.

(b) Remediation. Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, and without limiting any other provision of this Lease, effectuate any Remediation required of Lessee by any Governmental Authority of any condition (including, but not limited to, a Release or Threatened Release) in, on, under or from the Property and take any other reasonable action deemed necessary by any Governmental Authority for protection of human health or the environment. Should Lessee fail to undertake any required Remediation in accordance with the preceding sentence within a commercially reasonable time frame, Lessor, after written notice to Lessee and Lessee’s failure to immediately undertake such Remediation, shall be permitted to complete such Remediation, and all Costs incurred in connection therewith shall be paid by Lessee. Any Cost so paid by Lessor, together with interest at the Default Rate, shall be deemed to be Additional Rental hereunder and shall be immediately due from Lessee to Lessor.

(c) Indemnification. Lessee shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless each of the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses, including, but not limited to, all Costs of Remediation (whether or not performed voluntarily), arising out of or in any way relating to any Environmental Laws, Hazardous Materials, Regulated Substances, above or below ground storage tanks, the Environmental Covenant (including the obligations of the “owner” under the Environmental Covenant), and other environmental matters concerning the Property, to the extent caused by or through Lessee.

(d) Survival. The obligations of Lessee and the rights and remedies of Lessor under this Section 8.03 shall survive the termination, expiration and/or release of this Lease.

ARTICLE IX

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

Section 9.01. Inspection. Lessor and its authorized representatives shall have the right, at all reasonable times and upon giving reasonable prior notice (except in the event of an emergency, in which case no prior notice shall be required), to enter the Property or any part thereof and inspect the same. Lessee hereby waives any claim for damages for any injury or inconvenience to or interference with Lessee’s business, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Property and any other loss occasioned by such entry, but, subject to Section 10.01, excluding damages arising as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor. Notwithstanding the foregoing,

Lessor shall exercise its inspection rights in a manner that does not interfere with Lessee’s use of the Property.

RELEASE AND INDEMNIFICATION

Section 10.01. Release and Indemnification. Lessee agrees to use and occupy the Property at its own risk and hereby releases Lessor and Lessor’s agents and employees from all claims for any damage, compensation, liability, injury, loss or claim from any cause, other than gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lessor, its agents or employees, relative to or arising from (i) loss or damage to Lessee's personal property or improvements that Lessee may remove pursuant to Section 3.04 hereof; (ii) any injury to person or damage to property on or about the Property; (iii) any criminal act on or about the Property; or (iv) interference with Lessee's business operations or loss of occupancy or use of the Property from Lessor's right to access or enter the Property under this Lease. Lessee acknowledges and agrees that Lessor has no duty or obligation to provide security for the Property. Lessee shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless each of the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses (excluding Losses suffered by an Indemnified Party arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party) caused by, incurred or resulting from Lessee’s operations or occurring in or about the Property, whether relating to its original design or construction, latent defects, alteration, maintenance, use by Lessee or any Person thereon, supervision or otherwise, or from any breach of, default under, or failure to perform, any term or provision of this Lease by Lessee, its officers, employees, agents or other Persons. It is expressly understood and agreed that Lessee’s obligations under this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease for any reason whatsoever.

ARTICLE XI

CONDEMNATION AND CASUALTY

Section 11.01. Notification. Lessee shall promptly give Lessor written notice of (a) any Condemnation of any of the Property, (b) the commencement of any proceedings or negotiations which might result in a Condemnation of any of the Property, and (c) any Casualty to any of the Property or any part thereof. Such notice shall provide a general description of the nature and extent of such Condemnation, proceedings, negotiations or Casualty, and shall include copies of any documents or notices received in connection therewith. Thereafter, Lessee shall promptly send Lessor copies of all notices, correspondence and pleadings relating to any such Condemnation, proceedings, negotiations or Casualty.

Section 11.02. Total Condemnation. In the event of a Condemnation of all or substantially all of any of the Property, and if as a result of such Condemnation: (i) access to the Property to and from the publicly dedicated roads adjacent to the Property as of the Effective Date is permanently and materially impaired such that Lessee no longer has access to such dedicated road; (ii) there is insufficient parking to operate the Property as a Permitted Facility under applicable Laws; or (iii) the Condemnation includes a portion of the building such that the remaining portion is unsuitable for use as a Permitted Facility, as determined by Lessee in the exercise of good faith business judgment (and Lessee provides to Lessor an officer’s certificate executed by an officer of Lessee certifying to the same) (each such event, a “Total Condemnation”), then, in such event:

(a) Termination of Lease. On the date of the Total Condemnation, all obligations of either party hereunder with respect to the Property shall cease; provided, however, that Lessee’s obligations to the Indemnified Parties under any indemnification provisions of this Lease with respect to the Property and Lessee’s obligation to pay Rental and all other Monetary Obligations (whether payable to Lessor or a third party) accruing under this Lease with respect to the Property prior to the date of termination shall survive such termination. If the date of such Total Condemnation is other than the first day of a month, the Base Monthly Rental for the month in which such Total Condemnation occurs shall be apportioned based on the date of the Total Condemnation.

(b) Net Award. Subject to Section 11.07 below, Lessor shall be entitled to receive the entire Net Award in connection with a Total Condemnation without deduction for any estate vested in Lessee by this Lease, and Lessee hereby expressly assigns to Lessor all of its right, title and interest in and to every such Net Award and agrees that Lessee shall not be entitled to any Net Award or other payment for the value of Lessee’s leasehold interest in this Lease.

Section 11.03. Partial Condemnation or Casualty. In the event of a Condemnation which is not a Total Condemnation (each such event, a “Partial Condemnation”), or in the event of a Casualty:

(a) Net Awards. All Net Awards shall be paid to Lessor.

(b) Continuance of Lease. This Lease shall continue in full force and effect upon the following terms:

(i) All Rental and other Monetary Obligations due under this Lease shall continue unabated.

(ii) Lessee shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute restoration of the Property to the same condition, as nearly as practicable, as prior to such Partial Condemnation or Casualty as approved by Lessor; provided, however, that Lessee shall have no obligation to incur costs in excess of the Net Award or insurance proceeds, as applicable, made available by Lessor to Lessee hereunder. Upon the written request of Lessee (accompanied by evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lessor that such amount has been paid or is due and payable and is properly part of such costs, and that Lessee has complied with the terms of Section 7.02 in connection with the restoration), Lessor shall promptly make available in installments, subject to reasonable conditions for disbursement imposed by Lessor, an amount up to but not exceeding the amount of any Net Award received by Lessor with respect to such Partial Condemnation or Casualty.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Casualty cannot reasonably be expected to be restored within three hundred sixty-five (365) days of the date of such Casualty as reasonably determined by Lessee, then Lessee shall have the right to terminate this Lease Agreement upon delivery of written notice to Lessor. The termination will be effective as of the date of the Casualty. Upon such termination, all obligations of either party hereunder with respect to the Property shall cease; provided, however, that Lessee’s obligations to the Indemnified Parties under any indemnification provisions of this Lease with respect to the Property and Lessee’s obligation to pay Rental and all other Monetary Obligations (whether payable to Lessor or a third party) accruing under this Lease with respect to the Property prior to the date of termination shall survive such termination. If the date of such Casualty is other than the first day of a month, the Base Monthly Rental for the month in which such Casualty occurs shall be apportioned based on the date of the Casualty.

Section 11.04. Temporary Taking. In the event of a Condemnation of all or any part of the Property for a temporary use (a “Temporary Taking”), this Lease shall remain in full force and effect without any reduction of Base Annual Rental, Additional Rental or any other Monetary Obligation payable hereunder. Except as provided below, Lessee shall be entitled to the entire Net Award for a Temporary Taking, unless the period of occupation and use by the condemning authorities shall extend beyond the date of expiration of this Lease, in which event the Net Award made for such Temporary Taking shall be apportioned between Lessor and Lessee as of the date of such expiration.

Section 11.05. Adjustment of Losses. Any loss under any property damage insurance required to be maintained by Lessee shall be adjusted by Lessor and Lessee. Any Net Award relating to a Total Condemnation or a Partial Condemnation shall be adjusted by Lessor or, at Lessor’s election, Lessee. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions of this Section 11.05 to the contrary, if at the time of any Condemnation or any Casualty or at any time thereafter an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lessor is hereby authorized and empowered but shall not be obligated, in the name and on behalf of Lessee and otherwise, to file and prosecute Lessee’s claim, if any, for a Net Award on account of such Condemnation or such Casualty and to collect such Net Award and apply the same to the curing of such Event of Default and any other then existing Event of Default under this Lease and/or to the payment of any amounts owed by Lessee to Lessor under this Lease, in such order, priority and proportions as Lessor in its discretion shall deem proper.

Section 11.06. Lessee Obligation in Event of Casualty. During all periods of time following a Casualty, Lessee shall take reasonable steps to ensure that the Property is secure and does not pose any risk of harm to any adjoining property and Persons (including owners or occupants of such adjoining property).

Section 11.07. Lessee Awards and Payments. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Article XI, Lessee shall be entitled to claim and receive any award or payment from the condemning authority expressly granted for the taking of any personal property owned by Lessee, any insurance proceeds with respect to any personal property owned by Lessee, the interruption of its business and moving expenses, but only if such claim or award does not adversely affect or interfere with the prosecution of Lessor’s claim for the Condemnation or Casualty, or otherwise reduce the amount recoverable by Lessor for the Condemnation or Casualty.

ARTICLE XII

DEFAULT, CONDITIONAL LIMITATIONS,
REMEDIES AND MEASURE OF DAMAGES

Section 12.01. Event of Default. Each of the following shall be an event of default by Lessee under this Lease (each, an “Event of Default”):

(a) if any Rental or other Monetary Obligation due under this Lease is not paid when due; provided, however, any delay in the payment of Rental shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder so long as the same is corrected within five (5) Business Days of the date Lessee receives written notice thereof from Lessor that such sums are due, provided, however, that no more than one (1) notice of nonpayment to Lessee shall be required to be given in any calendar year and any additional payments not paid within ten (10) Business Days of the date due shall be an Event of Default without notice from the Lessor;

(b) Failure to maintain insurance in accordance with Section 6.03;

(c) if Lessee fails to pay, prior to delinquency, any taxes, assessments or other charges the failure of which to pay has resulted in the imposition of a lien against any the Property;

(d) if Lessee abandons the Property;

(e) if there is an Insolvency Event affecting Lessee;

(f) if Lessee fails to observe or perform any of the other covenants, conditions or obligations of Lessee in this Lease; provided, however, if any such failure does not involve the payment of any Monetary Obligation, then such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, unless and until Lessor shall have given Lessee written notice thereof and a period of thirty (30) days shall have elapsed, during which period Lessee may correct or cure such failure, upon failure of which an Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred hereunder without further notice or demand of any kind being required. If such failure cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30)‑day period, and Lessee is diligently pursuing a cure of such failure, then Lessee shall have a reasonable period to cure such failure beyond such thirty (30)‑day period; or

(g) if the estate or interest of Lessee in any of the Property shall be levied upon or attached in any proceeding and such estate or interest is about to be sold or transferred or such process shall not be vacated or discharged within ninety (90) days after it is made.

Section 12.02. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, with or without notice or demand, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or such other notice as may be required by Law, Lessor shall be entitled to exercise, at its option, concurrently, successively, or in any combination, all remedies available at Law or in equity, including, without limitation, any one or more of the following:

(a) to terminate this Lease, whereupon Lessee’s right to possession of the Property shall cease and this Lease, except as to Lessee’s liability, shall be terminated;

(b) to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law, to (i) re-enter and take possession of the Property (or any part thereof), any or all personal property or fixtures of Lessee upon the Property and, to the extent permissible, permits and other rights or privileges of Lessee pertaining to the use and operation of the Property, and (ii) expel Lessee and those claiming under or through Lessee, without being deemed guilty in any manner of trespass or becoming liable for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, without resort to legal or judicial process, procedure or action. No notice from Lessor hereunder or under a forcible entry and detainer statute or similar Law shall constitute an election by Lessor to terminate this Lease unless such notice specifically so states. If Lessee shall, after default, voluntarily give up possession of the Property to Lessor, deliver to Lessor or its agents the keys to the Property, or both, such actions shall be deemed to be in compliance with Lessor’s rights and the acceptance thereof by Lessor or its agents shall not be deemed to constitute a termination of the Lease. Lessor reserves the right following any re‑entry and/or reletting to exercise its right to terminate this Lease by giving Lessee written notice thereof, in which event this Lease will terminate;

(d) to relet the Property or any part thereof for such term or terms (including a term which extends beyond the original Lease Term), at such rentals and upon such other terms as Lessor, in its reasonable discretion, may determine, with all proceeds received from such reletting being applied to the Rental and other Monetary Obligations due from Lessee in such order as Lessor may, in its reasonable discretion, determine, which other Monetary Obligations include, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, attorneys’ fees and expenses, and repair costs and expenses of preparing for such reletting. Lessor reserves the right following any re‑entry and/or reletting to exercise its right to terminate this Lease by giving Lessee written notice thereof, in which event this Lease will terminate as specified in said notice;

(e) to recover from Lessee all Costs paid or incurred by Lessor as a result of such breach, regardless of whether or not legal proceedings are actually commenced;

(f) to immediately or at any time thereafter, and with or without notice, at Lessor’s sole option but without any obligation to do so, correct such breach or default and charge Lessee all Costs incurred by Lessor therein. and enforce, to the extent not enforced by Lessee, the terms of any Warranty. Any sum or sums so paid by Lessor, together with interest at the Default

Rate, shall be deemed to be Additional Rental hereunder and shall be immediately due from Lessee to Lessor. Any such acts by Lessor in correcting Lessee’s breaches or defaults hereunder shall not be deemed to cure said breaches or defaults or constitute any waiver of Lessor’s right to exercise any or all remedies set forth herein;

(g) to immediately or at any time thereafter, and with or without notice, except as required herein, set off any money of Lessee held by Lessor under this Lease or any other Transaction Document or any Other Agreement against any sum owing by Lessee hereunder; and/or

(h) to seek any equitable relief available to Lessor, including, without limitation, the right of specific performance.

Section 12.03. Cumulative Remedies. All powers and remedies given by Section 12.02 to Lessor, subject to applicable Law, shall be cumulative and not exclusive of one another or of any other right or remedy or of any other powers and remedies available to Lessor under this Lease, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements of Lessee contained in this Lease, and no delay or omission of Lessor to exercise any right or power accruing upon the occurrence of any Event of Default shall impair any other or subsequent Event of Default or impair any rights or remedies consequent thereto. Every power and remedy given by this Section or by Law to Lessor may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by Lessor, subject at all times to Lessor’s right in its sole judgment to discontinue any work commenced by Lessor or change any course of action undertaken by Lessor.

ARTICLE XIII

SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT

Section 13.01. Subordination. This Lease at all times shall automatically be subordinate to the lien of any and all ground leases and Mortgages now or hereafter placed upon the Property by Lessor, and Lessee covenants and agrees to execute and deliver, upon demand, such further instruments subordinating this Lease to the lien of any or all such ground leases and Mortgages as shall be desired by Lessor, or any present or proposed mortgagees under trust deeds, upon the condition that Lessee shall have the right to remain in possession of the Property under the terms of this Lease, notwithstanding any default in any or all such ground leases or Mortgages, or after the foreclosure of any such Mortgages, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Prior to the Effective Date, Lessor shall provide to Lessee a commercially reasonable form of non-disturbance agreement from any Lender holding a Mortgage on the Property as of the Effective Date.

Section 13.02. Attornment. In the event any purchaser or assignee of any Lender at a foreclosure sale acquires title to the Property, or in the event that any Lender or any purchaser or assignee otherwise succeeds to the rights of Lessor as lessor under this Lease, Lessee shall attorn to Lender or such purchaser or assignee, as the case may be (a “Successor Lessor”), and recognize the Successor Lessor as lessor under this Lease, and, subject to the provisions of this Article XIII, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between the Successor

Lessor and Lessee. The foregoing provision shall be self‑operative and effective without the execution of any further instruments.

Section 13.03. Execution of Additional Documents. Although the provisions in this Article XIII shall be self‑operative and no future instrument of subordination shall be required, upon request by Lessor, Lessee shall execute and deliver such additional reasonable instruments as may be reasonably required for such purposes.

ARTICLE XIV

ASSIGNMENT

Section 14.01. Assignment by Lessor. As a material inducement to Lessor’s willingness to enter into the transactions contemplated by this Lease (the “Transaction”) and the other Transaction Documents, Lessee hereby agrees that Lessor may, from time to time and at any time and without the consent of Lessee, engage in all or any combination of the following, or enter into agreements in connection with any of the following or in accordance with requirements that may be imposed by applicable securities, tax or other Laws: the sale, assignment, grant, conveyance, transfer, financing, re‑financing, purchase or re‑acquisition of all, less than all or any portion of the Property, this Lease or any other Transaction Document, Lessor’s right, title and interest in this Lease or any other Transaction Document, the servicing rights with respect to any of the foregoing, or participations in any of the foregoing. In the event of any such sale or assignment other than a security assignment, Lessee shall attorn to such purchaser or assignee (so long as Lessor and such purchaser or assignee notify Lessee in writing of such transfer and such purchaser or assignee expressly assumes in writing the obligations of Lessor hereunder from and after the date of such assignment). At the request of Lessor, Lessee will execute such documents confirming the sale, assignment or other transfer and such other agreements as Lessor may reasonably request, provided that the same do not increase the liabilities and obligations of Lessee hereunder. Lessor shall be relieved, from and after the date of such transfer or conveyance, of liability for the performance of any obligation of Lessor contained herein, except for obligations or liabilities accrued prior to such assignment or sale.

Section 14.02. Assignment by Lessee.

(a) Lessee shall not assign, sublet, transfer, convey, pledge or mortgage this Lease or any interest herein or any interest in Lessee, without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. At the time of any assignment of this Lease which is approved by Lessor, the assignee shall assume all of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease pursuant to a written assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lessor. Such assignment of this Lease pursuant to this Section 14.02 shall not relieve Lessee of its obligations respecting this Lease unless otherwise agreed to by Lessor. Any assignment, transfer, conveyance, pledge or mortgage in violation of this Section 14.02 shall be voidable at the sole option of Lessor. Any consent to an assignment given by Lessor hereunder shall not be deemed consent to any subsequent assignment. Any assignment or transfer of this Lease by transfer of a majority interest of stock in one transaction or a series of related transactions, asset sale, merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution, or any changes in the ownership of, or power to

vote in excess of fifty percent (50%) of its outstanding stock in one transaction or a series of related transactions, shall constitute an assignment for purposes of this Section.

(b) For purposes of this Section 14.02, in addition to any other reasonable grounds for refusal, Lessor’s consent to any assignment or sublease shall be deemed reasonably withheld if, in Lessor’s good faith judgment, any one or more of the following apply: (i) the proposed transferee is not in a financial condition to comply with its financial obligations under the assignment or sublease; (ii) either the proposed transferee, or any affiliate of the proposed transferee, occupies or is negotiating with Lessor to lease the Property or any other building owned by Lessor and its related parties; (iii) the use of the Premises by the proposed transferee would, in Lessor’s reasonable judgment, not comply with the terms of the Lease; (iv) if the space subject to the assignment or sublease is only a portion of the Property and the physical division of such portion is, or would render the Property, irregular in shape and configuration or without appropriate ingress or egress and facilities suitable for normal leasing purposes, or is otherwise not readily divisible from the Property; (v) the proposed transferee is a government, governmental entity (or an agency or instrumentality thereof); or (vi) an uncured Event of Default exists under the Lease at the time Lessee requests Lessor’s consent to the proposed transfer.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 14.02 and provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of the proposed assignment or other transfer, and provided further that any assignee agrees to assume all of Lessee’s obligations under this Lease, Lessee shall have the right to assign or otherwise transfer all, but not less than all, of its interest in, to and under this Lease without Lessor’s consent to an Affiliate of Lessee.

ARTICLE XV

Section 16.01 Expansion. Lessee has the right (the “Expansion Right”) to acquire from the City of New Brighton, Minnesota certain real estate parcels adjacent to the Property (the “Option Property”) pursuant to that certain Contract for Private Redevelopment dated June 10, 2014 (the “Redevelopment Contract”). In the event Lessee desires to exercise the Expansion Right, Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee to exercise such rights under the Redevelopment Contract to purchase the Option Property and to construct building improvements on the Option Property, which improvements may adjoin, or connect to, the building improvements, located upon the Property. In the event the Lessee exercises its Expansion Right and acquires the Option Property during the Lease term hereof, Lessee shall not convey its fee interest in the Option Property, or any portion thereof, to any third party without providing Lessor with the following right of first refusal to purchase the Option Property (the “Option Property Right of First Refusal”). If Lessee receives an offer by a third party to purchase the Option Property, or any portion thereof, which Lessee desires to accept, Lessee shall deliver a copy of said offer to Lessor (the “Option Property Right of First Refusal Notice”) Lessee’s notice to Lessor shall state: (i) Lessee’s desire and intention to sell all or any part of the Option Property; and (ii) full details of the offer received by it, and a description of the purchase price as well as the overall transaction. Lessor shall have twenty (20) days from

and after receiving the Option Property Right of First Refusal Notice to elect to purchase the Option Property, or such portion as may be the subject of the offer, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Option Property Right of First Refusal Notice, including all rights, privileges and timetables contained in the offer and any amendments related thereto which had been accepted by Lessee. If Lessor elects to purchase the Option Property, or such portion as may be the subject of the offer, the closing shall occur as set forth in the Option Property Right of First Refusal Notice or at such date as may be mutually agreed upon by and between the parties. If Lessor fails to give Lessee written notice within the twenty (20) day period of its intent to purchase the Option Property, or such portion as may be the subject of the offer, then the Option Property Right of First Refusal shall terminate; provided, however, that if such closing as described in the Option Property Right of First Refusal Notice does not occur, then the Option Property Right of First Refusal shall remain in effect.

ARTICLE XVII

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

Section 17.01 Right of First Refusal. During the Lease Term hereof, Lessor shall not convey its fee interest in the Property, or any portion thereof, to any third party without providing Lessee with the following right of first refusal to purchase the Property (the “Right of First Refusal”). If Lessor receives an offer by a third party to purchase the Property, or any portion thereof, which Lessor desires to accept, Lessor shall deliver a copy of said offer to Lessee (the “Right of First Refusal Notice”). Lessor’s notice to Lessee shall state: (i) Lessor’s desire and intention to sell all or any part of the Property; and (ii) full details of the offer received by it, and a description of the purchase price as well as the overall transaction. Lessee shall have twenty (20) days from and after receiving the Right of First Refusal Notice to elect to purchase the Property, or such portion as may be the subject of the offer, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Right of First Refusal Notice, including all rights, privileges and timetables contained in the offer and any amendments related thereto which had been accepted by Lessor. If Lessee elects to purchase the Property, or such portion as may be the subject of the offer, the closing shall occur as set forth in the Right of First Refusal Notice or at such date as may be mutually agreed upon by and between the parties. If Lessee fails to give Lessor written notice within the twenty (20) day period of its intent to purchase the Property, or such portion as may be the subject of the offer, then the Right of First Refusal shall terminate; provided, however, that if such closing as described in the Right of First Refusal Notice does not occur, then the Right of First Refusal shall remain in effect.

ARTICLE XVII

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 18.01. Force Majeure. Any prevention, delay or stoppage due to strikes, lockouts, acts of God, enemy or hostile governmental action, civil commotion, fire or other casualty beyond the control of the party obligated to perform shall excuse the performance by such party for a period equal to any such prevention, delay or stoppage, expressly excluding, however, the obligations imposed upon Lessee with respect to Rental and other Monetary Obligations to be paid hereunder.
