reserved under this Lease:
(1) Base Rent to be paid in monthly installments in advance on or

Base Rent will be paid by the Tenant concurrently with the execution of this
Lease.

(4) [Reserved]
(5) Additional Rent consisting of all of the sums, liabilities,
obligations and other amounts (excepting Base Rent, Operating Cost Share
Rent, and Tax Share Rent) which Tenant is required to pay or discharge

interest for late payment thereon, all as hereafter provided.
B. Payment of Operating Cost Share Rent and Tax Share Rent.
--------------------------------------------------------
(1) Payment of Estimated Operating Cost Share Rent and Tax Share Rent.
Landlord shall estimate the Operating Costs and Taxes of the Project from
time to time each year. Such estimates may be revised by Landlord whenever
it obtains information relevant to making such estimates more accurate but
not more often than annually. Such estimates will generally (but need not)
be issued after the beginning of a fiscal year and revised upon the
determination of the final real estate tax assessment or final real estate
tax rate for the Project.
Within ten (10) days after notice from Landlord setting forth an
estimate of Operating Costs for a particular fiscal year, Tenant shall pay
Landlord in amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of Tenant's Proportionate
Share of such estimated costs multiplied by the number of months that have
elapsed in such fiscal year to the date of such payment, minus payments of
estimated Operating Cost Share Rent previously paid for said period.
Thereafter on the first day of each month, Tenant shall pay monthly until a
new estimate of Operating Costs is applicable, one-twelfth (1/12th) of
Tenant's Proportionate Share of the estimated Operating Costs.
Within ten (10) days after notice from Landlord setting forth an
estimate of Taxes for a particular fiscal year, Tenant shall pay Landlord an
amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of Tenant's Proportionate Share of such
estimated costs multiplied by the number of months that have elapsed in such
fiscal year to the date of such payment, minus payments of estimated Tax
Share Rent previously paid for said period. Thereafter on the first day of
each month, Tenant shall pay monthly until a new estimate of Taxes is
applicable, one-twelfth (1/12th) of Tenant's Proportionate Share of the
estimated Taxes.
(2) Correction of Operating Cost Share Rent. As soon as reasonably
possible after the end of each fiscal year, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant
a report (the "Operating Cost Report") setting forth (a) the actual
Operating Costs for the preceding fiscal year, (b) the amount of Operating
Cost Share Rent due to Landlord for such preceding fiscal year, and (c) the
amount of Operating Expense Share Rent paid by the Tenant in and allocable
to such fiscal year. On or before twenty (20) days after receipt of such
report, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of Operating Cost Share Rent
due for the preceding fiscal year (or a portion thereof if this Lease was
not in effect for the entire fiscal year) minus any payments made by Tenant
for such fiscal year. If Tenant's estimated payments of Operating Cost Share
Rent exceed the amount due Landlord for the fiscal year in question,
Landlord shall either refund any such amount to Tenant or apply any such
amount as a credit against Tenant's other obligations under Section 2(A)(2)
of this Lease.
(3) Correction of Tax Share Rent. At any time during any fiscal year,
when such information becomes available, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a
report (the "Tax Report") setting forth (a) the actual Taxes for the
preceding fiscal year, (b) the amount of Tax Share Rent due to Landlord for
such preceding fiscal year, and (c) the amount of Tax Share Rent paid by the
Tenant in and allocable to such fiscal year. On or before twenty (20) days
after receipt of such report, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of Tax
Share Rent due for the preceding fiscal year (or a portion thereof if this
Lease was not in effect for the entire fiscal year) minus any payments made
for such fiscal year. If Tenant's estimated payments of Tax Share Rent
exceed the amount due Landlord
-2-
for the fiscal year in question, Landlord shall either refund any such amount
to Tenant or apply any such amount as a credit against Tenant's other
obligations under Section 2(A)(3) of this Lease.
C. [Reserved]
D. Definitions
(1) Taxes. "Taxes" shall mean any and all federal, state and local
governmental taxes, assessments and charges of any kind or nature, whether
general, special, ordinary or extraordinary, which Landlord shall pay or become
obligated to pay because of or in connection with the ownership, leasing,
renting, management, control or operation of the Project or of the personal
property, fixtures, machinery, equipment, systems and apparatus located therein
or used in connection therewith or with regard to Landlord's proportionate share
of common area expenses relating to the development commonly known as Park
Place. Taxes shall include, without limitation, real estate taxes, personal
property taxes, sewer rents, water rents, assessments (special or otherwise),
transit taxes, and ad valorem taxes. Taxes shall also include all fees, costs
and expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees and court costs) paid by
Landlord in connection with protesting or contesting, or seeking a refund or
reduction of, any of the aforesaid Taxes, regardless of whether the Landlord is
ultimately successful. Tenant shall not be required to pay costs in excess of
any amounts recovered in connection with the protest or contest or seeking of a
refund or reduction unless Tenant gives prior consent to such protest or seeking
of a refund or reduction. If at any time during the term hereof, a tax or excise
on rents or income or other tax however described (herein called "Rent Tax") is
levied or assessed by the United States or the State of Wisconsin, or any
political subdivision thereof, on account of the rents hereunder or the interest
of Landlord under this Lease, such Rent Tax shall constitute and be included in
Taxes, provided, however, that in no event shall Tenant be obligated (a) to pay
for any year any greater amount as a result of such Rent Tax than would have
been payable by Tenant had the rentals paid to Landlord under all Project leases
(being the rentals upon which such taxes are imposed) been the sole taxable
income of Landlord for the year in question or (b) to pay or to reimburse
Landlord for any tax of any kind assessed against Landlord on account of any
such Rent Tax having been reimbursed to Landlord by Tenant or any third party.
For the purposes of determining Taxes for any given fiscal year, the amount
to be included for such fiscal year (a) from special taxes or assessments
payable in installments, shall be the amount of the installments (and any
interest) due and payable during such fiscal year, (b) from all other Taxes,
shall be the amount accrued, assessed or otherwise imposed for such fiscal year
without regard to when any such Taxes are payable, and (c) from any adjustment
(including, without limitation, a refund) to any Taxes by the taxing authority,
when such adjustment has resulted in a corresponding adjustment payment by or to
Landlord, shall constitute an adjustment to Taxes for the fiscal year during
which such adjustment is made or received by Landlord, as the case may be.
Tenant shall not be responsible for any installments of special assessments
levied prior to the Commencement Date.
Taxes shall not include any net income (except Rent Tax as hereinabove
provided), capital, stock, succession, transfer, franchise, gift, estate or
inheritance taxes, unless the same shall be imposed in lieu of all or any
portion of Taxes.
(2) Operating Costs. "Operating Costs" shall mean any expenses, costs and
disbursements (other than Taxes) of every kind and nature, paid or incurred by
Landlord in connection with the ownership, leasing, management, maintenance,
operation and repair of all or any part of the Project (adjusted for vacancy as
hereafter provided), in connection with the personal property, fixtures,
machinery, equipment, systems and apparatus located in the Project or used in
connection therewith and in connection with Landlord's proportionate share of
common area expenses, costs and disbursements relating to the development
commonly known as Park Place. Operating Costs shall not include (a) costs of
alterations of tenant premises; (b) costs of capital improvements, except for
any capital improvements which are intended to reduce Operating Costs, any
capital improvements which Landlord is required to make pursuant to, or which
are necessary to keep the Project in compliance with, all applicable
governmental rules and regulations applicable from time to time to the Project
and any costs for capital improvements included in common area
-3-
charges for Park Place (the foregoing capital improvements that are included
within Operating Costs are collectively referred to herein as the "Included
Capital Items"); (c) depreciation (except on any Included Capital Items); (d)
interest and principal payments on mortgages or any rental payments on any
ground or other underlying leases subject to which Landlord holds its interest
in the Project (hereinafter, referred to individually as a "Ground Lease" and
collectively as "Ground Leases"), and other debt costs, if any; (e) real estate
brokers' leasing commissions or compensations; (f) any cost or expenditure (or
portion thereof) for which Landlord is reimbursed, whether by insurance proceeds
or otherwise (Operating Cost Share Rent, Tax Share Rent and provided for in any
tenant leases are not reimbursements); (g) the cost of any kind of service
furnished to any other office tenant of the Project which Landlord does not make
available to Tenant hereunder; (h) costs incurred by Landlord for alterations,
renovations, improvements, decoration or painting, architectural, legal and/or
engineering services, if any, for other tenants of the Building, other than
those costs incurred in connection with the common areas; (i) costs of repairs
or other work occasioned by fire or other casualty or by the exercise of eminent
domain, for which Landlord is reimbursed by insurance or a condemnation award;
(j) leasing or sales commissions, attorney's fees and other professional fees,
costs and disbursements and other expenses incurred in connection with
negotiations or disputes with other tenants, other occupants, or prospective
tenants or occupants of the Building; (k) costs incurred due to the violation by
Landlord of the terms and conditions of any lease with any other tenant of the
Building; (l) penalties for failure to pay taxes when due, unless such failure
is caused by Tenant; (1) overhead and profit paid to subsidiaries or affiliates
of Landlord for services to the Building to the extent that the costs thereof
exceed the competitive costs of such services in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin
metropolitan area; (m) any compensation paid to clerks, attendants or other
persons in commercial concessions operated by Landlord; (n) advertising and
promotional expenditures; (o) any fines or penalties incurred due to violations
by Landlord of any governmental rule or authority, unless such fines or
penalties or violations were caused by or incurred because of Tenant; (p)
expenses relating to refinancing or sale of the Building; (q) costs of repairing
any items covered by warranty or guaranty, if Landlord elects to pursue such
warranty or guaranty and if Landlord is actually reimbursed under the warranty
or guaranty; (r) expenses in connection with services or benefits provided to
other tenants or occupants of the Building, which services or benefits Tenant is
not entitled to receive under this Lease; (s) cost of utility or other services,
if any, separately metered and provided to vacant space or premises occupied by
other tenants (except for any utility or services provided to common areas); and
(t) any management or administrative fee which in the aggregate exceeds the
competitive market rates for management or administrative fees for similar
buildings in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin metropolitan area. The annual cost to be
included as an Operating Cost for any Included Capital Item shall be an amount
equal to the cost of said Included Capital Item (including any costs associated
with financing the construction or installation or purchase of the improvement
if the improvement results in a reduction of the level of Operating Costs over
the life of the improvement) divided by the number of years in the depreciable
life of the Included Capital Item as reasonably determined by Landlord. If
Landlord reasonably determines that a repair, alteration or replacement of any
structural portion of the Building, the parking lot serving the Building, or any
of the major systems serving the Building (any such repair, alteration or
replacement being herein referred to as a "Repair") is a capital Repair, then
the annual cost to be included as an Operating Cost for any such capital Repair
shall be the cost of said Repair (including any costs associated with financing
the construction or installation of the Repair or purchases made with respect to
the Repair if the Repair results in the reduction in the level of Operating
Costs over the life of the Repair) divided by the number of years in the
depreciable life of the Repair as reasonably determined by Landlord.
If during all or any portion of any fiscal year the Project is not fully
rented and occupied by tenants, Landlord may elect to make an appropriate
adjustment of Operating Costs for such fiscal year, employing sound accounting
and management principles, to determine the Operating Costs that would have been
paid or incurred by Landlord had the Project been fully rented and occupied for
the entire fiscal year, and the amount so determined shall be deemed to have
been the Operating Costs for such fiscal year. If Landlord is not furnishing any
particular work or service (the cost of which if performed by Landlord would
constitute an Operating Cost) to a tenant who has undertaken to perform such
work or service in lieu of the performance thereof by Landlord for all or any
portion of a fiscal year, Operating Costs for such fiscal year shall be deemed
to be increased by an amount equal to the additional Operating Costs which
reasonably would have been incurred during such fiscal year by Landlord if it
had, at its own expense, furnished such work or service to such tenant.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the provisions of
this paragraph with respect to adjustment of Operating Costs for vacancy, or as
a result of the performance by tenants of certain services, shall apply only to
Operating Costs which are variable and which increase as occupancy in the
Project increases and shall not apply to any Operating Costs which do not vary
with the amount of occupancy in the Project. Further, in making its adjustment
of Operating Costs for vacancy or as a result of the performance by tenants of
certain services, Landlord shall not charge more than those Operating Costs
actually incurred by Landlord.
(3) Comparison Year. "Comparison Year" means each fiscal year of the Lease
through and including the years in which the term of this Lease (including any
extensions or renewals thereof) commences and ends. The first and last
Comparison Year may contain less than twelve (12) calendar months.
(4) Consumer Price Index. "Consumer Price Index" means the Consumer Price
Index for All Urban Consumers, United States City Average, All Items (1982-84 =
100) of the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Consumer Price Index
for any given Comparison Year shall be the December monthly index for that year,
except that for the last Comparison Year, the Consumer Price Index shall be the
monthly index for the last calendar month (whether whole or partial) of the term
of this Lease. If the manner in which such Consumer Price Index as determined by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics shall be revised, an adjustment shall be made in
such revised index which would produce results equivalent, as nearly as
possible, to those which would have been obtained if the Consumer Price Index
had not been so revised. If the Consumer Price Index shall become unavailable to
the public because publication is discontinued, or otherwise, Landlord will
substitute therefor a comparable index based upon changes in the cost of living
or purchasing power of the consumer dollar published by any other governmental
agency or, if no such index shall be available, then a comparable index
published by a major bank or other financial institution or by a university or a
recognized financial publication.
(5) Fiscal Year. The term "fiscal year" shall mean any 12 month period
(including, without limitation, the calendar year) which Landlord may from time
to time select as the fiscal year of the Project, provided that the first fiscal
year and the last fiscal year of the Term may contain less than twelve (12)
months.
(6) Tenant's Proportionate Share. "Tenant's Proportionate Share" shall mean
the percentage set forth as Item 7 on the Schedule.
(7) Park Place. "Park Place" shall mean that larger real estate development
of which the Project is a part.
E. Rules of Interpretation and Computation of Base Rent and Rent Adjustments:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) If this Lease commences on other than the first day of a month, the Base
Rent, Operating Cost Share Rent, and Tax Share Rent for the month in which this
Lease so begins shall be prorated based upon the number of days of the Term
falling within such month. If the Term of this Lease commences on any day other
than the first day of the designated fiscal year, or if the Term of this Lease
ends on any day other than the last day of the designated fiscal year, any
Operating Cost Share Rent, and Tax Share Rent due to Landlord with respect to
such fiscal year shall be prorated based on the number of days in the Term
falling within such fiscal year.
(2) All Rent shall be paid to Landlord without deduction or offset at the
office of the Rental Agent in the Project, or to such other person or place as
Landlord may from time to time designate in writing. The Tenant's covenants to
pay Rent shall be independent of every other covenant set forth in this Lease.
(3) Any sum due from Tenant to Landlord not paid when due shall bear interest
from the date due until the date paid at the annual rate equal to the lesser of:
(i) the highest lawful rate, or (ii) a rate of interest equal to the sum of
three percent (3%) plus the "Corporate Base Rate". The phrase "Corporate Base
Rate" means that rate of interest most recently announced by the Firstar Bank
-4-
Milwaukee, N.A. or its successor (collectively, the "First") as the corporate
base rate, changing automatically and simultaneously with each announced change
by the First in the Corporate Base Rate, such change to be effective as of and
on the date announced by the First as the effective date for the change in the
Corporate Base Rate. A certificate made by an officer of the First stating the
Corporate Base Rate in effect on a certain day, or Corporate Base Rates in
effect during a certain period, shall, for purposes of this Lease, be conclusive
evidence of the First's Corporate Base Rate or Rates on said day or during such
period. In the event that the First ceases to use the term Corporate Base Rate
in setting a base rate of interest for commercial loans, then the Corporate Base
Rate herein shall be determined by reference to the rate used by the First as a
base rate of interest for commercial loans as the same shall be designated by
the First to the Landlord. The payment of such interest shall not excuse or cure
any default of Tenant under this Lease.
(4) If Tenant is in default on any of its obligations under this Lease,
Tenant shall not be entitled to any refund of any sum which may otherwise be due
it by application of any provision of this Lease until any and all of Tenant's
defaults under this Lease are cured by Tenant.
(5) If changes are made to this Lease or to the Project changing the
number of rentable square feet contained in the Premises or in the Project,
Tenant's Proportionate Share shall be appropriately adjusted and the
computations of Rent shall be appropriately adjusted so as to take into account
the different Tenant's Proportionate Share figures applicable during each
portion of the applicable fiscal year. Tenant's Proportionate Share is based on
a total of 197,600 rentable square feet in the Building and total rentable
square feet in the Premises initially demised hereunder as set forth in Item 3
in the Schedule.
(6) Landlord shall maintain books and records in accordance with sound
accounting and management practices, reflecting the Operating Costs and Taxes.
In the event of any dispute as to any Operating Cost Share Rent or Tax Share
Rent, Tenant shall have the right to inspect Landlord's accounting records
relative to Operating Costs and Taxes at Landlord's accounting office upon
reasonable prior notice during normal business hours during the sixty (60) days
following the furnishing by Landlord to Tenant of either of the Operating Cost
Report and the Tax Report. Unless either party shall take written exception to
any item in any such report within said sixty (60) day period, such report shall
be considered as final and accepted by Tenant and Landlord. Any payment due to
the Landlord as shown on the Operating Cost Report or the Tax Report, whether or
not written exception is taken thereto, shall be made by the Tenant within
twenty (20) days after the Landlord shall have submitted the Operating Cost
Report or the Tax Report (as the case may be) without prejudice to any such
written exception. If Tenant makes such timely written exception, a
certification as to the proper amount of Operating Cost Share Rent and Tax Share
Rent shall be made by an independent certified public accountant mutually
acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, which shall be final and conclusive. Tenant
agrees to pay the cost of such certification unless the certification shows that
Landlord's calculation as to the amount of Operating Cost Share Rent and Tax
Share Rent exceeded by more than five percent (5%) the amount of Operating Cost
Share Rent and Tax Share Rent shown by the certification. Landlord shall pay for
the cost of such certification if the certification shows that Landlord's
calculation as to the amount of Operating Cost Share Rent and Tax Share Rent
exceeded by more than five percent (5%) the amount of Operating Cost Share Rent
and Tax Share Rent shown by the certification.
(7) In the event of the termination of this Lease by expiration of the
stated Term or for any other cause or reason whatsoever prior to the
determination of Operating Cost Share Rent, Tax Share Rent, or Additional Rent,
Tenant's agreement to pay any such sum shall survive termination of the Lease
and Tenant shall pay any such amount due to Landlord within fifteen (15) days
after being billed therefor. Tenant's obligation to pay Base Rent shall also
survive the expiration or termination of this Lease. In the event of the
termination of this Lease by expiration of the stated Term or for any other
cause or reason whatsoever, except the default by Tenant under any of the terms
or provisions of this Lease, prior to the determination of Operating Cost Share
Rent, or Tax Share Rent as hereinabove set forth, Landlord's agreement to refund
any excess in the amount of the estimated payments made by Tenant on account of
Operating Cost Share Rent, or Tax Share Rent over the actual amount thereof
accruing or payable up to the time of the termination or expiration shall
survive termination of the Lease and the Landlord shall pay the amount due to
Tenant within fifteen (15) days of Landlord's determination of such amount.
(8) No calculation, determination or payment of Operating Cost Share Rent
or Tax Share Rent or by virtue of the operation of the Rent adjustment
provisions under this Section 2 shall result in the payment by Tenant in any
fiscal year during the Term of less than the Base Rent shown on the Schedule.
(9) If any Operating Cost though paid in one (1) fiscal year, relates to
more than one (1) fiscal year, at the option of the Landlord, such Operating
Cost may be proportionately allocated among such related fiscal years. If any
Operating Cost relates to more than one parcel of property, at the option of the
Landlord, such Operating Cost may be allocated among the parcels of property to
which it relates.
(10) All payments made with respect to Operating Cost Share Rent, or Tax
Share Rent (including any monthly payments made on the basis of Landlord's
estimates thereof) may be commingled and need not be segregated by the Landlord
and may be held and utilized by the Landlord without payment to the Tenant of
interest or any sums for the use of any of said amounts.
3. PREPARATION AND CONDITION OF PREMISES, POSSESSION AND SURRENDER OF
PREMISES.
A. Except to the extent expressly indicated in the Tenant Improvements
item on the Schedule and except as otherwise expressly set forth in Appendix D
Landlord is leasing the Premises to Tenant "as is", without any representations
or warranties of any kind (including, without limitation, any express or implied
warranties of merchantability, fitness or habitability) and without any
obligation on the part of the Landlord to alter, remodel, improve, repair,
decorate or clean the Premises or any part thereof. If so indicated in the
Tenant Improvements item on the Schedule. Landlord shall cause the Premises to
be completed in accordance with the plans, specifications, and agreements and on
the terms, conditions and provisions
-5-
as provided in the Tenant Improvement Work Agreement (Appendix D) and Exhibit A
thereto (Building Standards) both of which are attached hereto and made a part
of this Lease.
B. Except as may be otherwise set forth under Section 5.F., during the term
of this Lease, Tenant shall maintain the Premises in as good condition as when
Tenant took possession, or as when completed after possession in the event that
Tenant takes possession prior to the Completion Date (loss or damage caused by
action of the elements) Acts of God and the public enemy, ordinary wear and fire
and other casualty insured against by Landlord excepted) failing which Landlord
may but need not restore the Premises to such good condition and Tenant shall
pay the cost thereof. At the termination of this Lease or at the termination of
Tenant's right to possession without termination of this Lease, Tenant shall,
subject to Sections 3C and 3D below return the Premises to Landlord broom clean
and in good condition as described in the immediately preceding sentence or
Landlord may, but need not, restore the Premises to such good condition and
Tenant shall pay the cost thereof.
C. Unless otherwise provided by written agreement, signed by Landlord, all
Work (hereinafter defined), partitions, hardware, light fixtures and other
fixtures (except trade fixtures and movable furniture and equipment belonging to
Tenant) in or upon the Premises, whether placed there by Landlord or Tenant,
shall be surrendered with the Premises at the termination of this Lease, by
lapse of time or otherwise, or at the termination of Tenant's right to
possession without termination of this Lease, and shall become Landlord's
property without compensation to Tenant; provided, however, that if prior to any
such termination of the Lease, or of the right to possession, or within ten (10)
days thereafter, Landlord so directs by written notice, Tenant shall promptly
remove any Work, partitions, hardware, light fixtures or other fixtures placed
in or upon the Premises by Tenant and designated in such notice and repair any
damage to the Premises caused by such removal, failing which Landlord may remove
the same and repair the Premises and Tenant shall pay the cost thereof to
Landlord upon demand.
D. Tenant shall also remove its furniture, movable equipment, trade fixtures
and all other items of personal property including all telephone and data wiring
if required by Landlord, from the Premises prior to the end of the Term or any
extension thereof, or within thirty (30) days after the early termination of
this Lease for any reason, or of the termination of Tenant's right of
possession; and if Tenant does not remove such property, at Landlord's election:
(i) Tenant shall be conclusively presumed to have conveyed the same to Landlord
under this Lease as a xxxx of sale without further payment or credit by Landlord
to Tenant, (ii) Tenant shall be conclusively presumed to have forever abandoned
such property, and without accepting title thereto, Landlord may, at Tenant's
expense, remove, store, destroy, discard or otherwise dispose of all or any part
thereof in any manner that Landlord shall choose without incurring liability to
Tenant or to any other person, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand,
any and all reasonable expenses incurred in taking any of such actions. In no
event shall Landlord ever become or accept or be charged with the duties of a
bailee (either voluntary or involuntary) of any personal property, and the
failure of Tenant to remove all such property from the Premises and the Project
shall forever bar Tenant from bringing any action or asserting any liability
against Landlord with respect to any such property which Tenant fails to remove.
During the first thirty (30) days after the early termination of this Lease for
any reason, or of the termination of Tenant's right of possession, Landlord may,
at its option, remove and store any personal property not removed from the
Premises by the Tenant, at the risk, cost and expense of Tenant, and Landlord
shall in no event be responsible for the value, preservation and safe keeping
thereof. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, any and all reasonable
expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with such removal and storage.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3, Tenant
shall not be required to remove any part of the Work done pursuant to Appendix D
or its security system or any other improvements or alterations consented to by
Landlord; provided, however, Tenant shall be required to remove its telephone
and data wiring if required by Landlord and to repair any and all damage caused
by such removal.
E. All obligations of the Tenant hereunder shall survive the expiration of
the Term or sooner termination of this Lease.
F. Except as may be otherwise set forth on Appendix D, Tenant's taking
possession of the Premises or any portion thereof shall be conclusive evidence
that the Premises or such portion were then in good order, repair and
satisfactory condition. Landlord may authorize Tenant to take possession of all
or any part of the Premises prior to the Commencement Date. If Tenant does take
possession pursuant to such authorization, all of the covenants and conditions
of this Lease shall apply to and shall control such pre-term occupancy. Rent for
such pre-term occupancy shall be paid upon occupancy and on the first day of
each calendar month thereafter at the rate set forth in Section 2A hereof. If
the Premises are occupied for a fractional month, such Rent shall be prorated on
a per diem basis.

services to the Tenant without charge except for Operating Cost Share Rent, or
as otherwise specifically provided herein, as follows:

through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00

fully with the Landlord in the operation of the heating system and to abide by
all reasonable regulations and requirements which Landlord may prescribe to
permit the proper functioning and protection of the heating system. Landlord
reserves the right to stop the heating system when necessary by reason of
accident or emergency or for repairs, alterations, replacements or improvements,
which in the judgment of the Landlord are desirable or necessary, until said
repairs, alterations, replacements or improvements shall have been completed.

Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and any other
national or state holidays observed by the majority of office tenants in the
Milwaukee metropolitan area, now or hereafter established, that may be

to make any repairs to the heating system promptly and with due diligence.
B. Air Conditioning. Landlord shall furnish air conditioning to provide a
temperature and humidity condition required, in Landlord's reasonable judgment,
for comfortable occupancy of the Premises under normal business operations in
the absence of machines or equipment which may affect the temperature or
humidity otherwise maintained in the Premises. Such air conditioning shall be
provided daily during business hours (Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to
6:00 p.m., and Saturday from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., Holidays excepted). Tenant

including telephone equipment, used in the Premises adversely affects the
temperature or humidity otherwise maintained by the air conditioning system,
Landlord reserves the right to install supplementary air conditioning units in
the Premises and the cost thereof, including all of the costs relating to the
installation and the cost of operation and maintenance thereof, shall be
Additional Rent hereunder and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord upon demand.
C. Extra Hours. Landlord shall also furnish heat and air conditioning
after business hours, on the condition that Tenant gives Landlord not less than
twenty-four (24) hours' prior notice of Tenant's needs for such additional
heating or air conditioning, and provided that Tenant pays to Landlord its then
current charges for such additional heating or air conditioning. Notwithstanding
the foregoing condition that Tenant give Landlord not less than twenty-four (24)
hours' prior notice of Tenant's needs for additional heating or air
conditioning, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to provide Tenant additional
heating or air conditioning after business hours as Tenant requires. Such
charges will be prorated by Landlord between requesting user-tenants if more
than one tenant requests such additional heating or air conditioning at the
same time and the proration shall be based upon the area of the Project leased
to such tenants and their respective periods of use.
D. Elevators. Landlord shall provide passenger elevator service in common
with the Landlord and the other tenants, daily, during business hours, Sundays
and Holidays excepted. One of the passenger elevators can be adapted for freight
use upon 48 hours' prior notice to Landlord by the Tenant with such use to be
confined to the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on
Monday through Friday. Further, upon prior request to the Landlord by the
Tenant, freight elevator service may be available on Saturdays. Freight elevator

by Wisconsin Electric Power Company or any other electricity company serving the
Project, and such electricity shall be supplied as an Operating Cost. Landlord
shall not in any way be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage or expense
Tenant may sustain or incur if either the amount or quality of electric service
is changed or is no longer available or suitable for Tenant's requirements. If
such service shall be discontinued, such discontinuance shall not in any way
affect this Lease except as otherwise set forth in Section 5.I. below. Tenant
covenants and agrees that at all times its use of electric current shall never
exceed the capacity of the existing feeders to the Building or the risers or the
wiring installed thereon when reviewed in conjunction with the electrical usage
of the other tenants in the Project. Tenant covenants and agrees that it shall
make no alterations or additions to the electric equipment and/or appliances
without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance. Landlord shall
maintain the light fixtures in the Premises and install any lamps, bulbs,
ballasts or starters to be used by Tenant in the Premises, all as an Operating
Cost, except that any light fixtures, ballasts, starters and bulbs which are not
building standard items shall be repaired or replaced by Landlord at Tenant's
expense. Landlord reserves the right to stop the electrical system when

Landlord are desirable or necessary, until said repairs, alterations, regular

excepted. Tenant shall not provide janitor services in the Premises without the
prior written consent of Landlord and then only at Tenant's sole responsibility,

established by Tenant or if such persons at any time during the term of the
Lease pose a security risk, as reasonably determined by Tenant, or if the
services provided by Landlord do not meet the standards set forth on Appendix B,
then Tenant shall give written notice thereof to the Landlord. If the problem
stated in the notice is not corrected by Landlord on or before thirty (30) days
following said notice, Tenant shall be permitted to provide its own janitorial
services. Tenant shall obtain Landlord's approval of the persons and/or entities
providing janitorial services on behalf of Tenant unless such services are
provided by employees of Tenant or Tenant's holding company. Landlord hereby
approves the use by Tenant of its employees or the employees of Tenant's holding
company to provide such services. Regardless of whether Tenant uses its
own employees or employees of the holding company or a third party to provide
janitorial services, if Tenant provides its own janitorial services, the
provision of such services and the persons and/or entities providing such
services shall be subject to rules and regulations reasonably imposed by
Landlord.
H. Window Washing. Landlord shall furnish window washing of all exterior
windows, weather permitting, at intervals to be determined by Landlord, but not
less than two (2) times during each calendar year.
I. Interruption of Service. Landlord does not warrant that any service
will be free from interruption caused by labor controversies, accidents,
inability to obtain fuel, steam, water or supplies, governmental regulations, or
other causes beyond the reasonable control of the Landlord, or repairs,
alterations, replacements or improvements to such systems. No such interruption
of service shall be
-7-
deemed as eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use and possession of the Premises
or any part thereof, or render Landlord liable to Tenant for damages, by
abatement of Rent or otherwise, or relieve Tenant from performance of Tenant's
obligations under this Lease, except that if such interruption of service
continues uncorrected for a period of seventy-two (72) hours and does not result
from the errors or omissions of the Tenant or a Force Majeure event, then if the
interruption of service results in the complete loss to the Premises of (i)
electricity or (ii) elevator service or (iii) heat or (iv) air conditioning or
(v) ventilation, Landlord shall be liable to Tenant for damages limited to
abatement of Rent and all other charges due under the Lease for the period in
excess of seventy-two (72) hours during which such condition continues
uncorrected. If such interruption of service continues uncorrected for seventy-
two (72) hours and does not result from the errors or omissions of the Tenant or
a Force Majeure event and such interruption results in the partial loss of any
of the above enumerated services, then the Landlord shall be liable to Tenant
for damages limited to a partial abatement of Rent for the period in excess of
seventy-two (72) hours during which the condition continues uncorrected based
upon the number of square feet in the Premises affected by such interruption of
service. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts not to interrupt voluntarily any
service to the Premises except upon forty-eight (48) hours advance notice to
Tenant and then only in a manner which does not materially interfere with
Tenant's business operations, unless Landlord must do so because of an emergency
or if necessary for the proper maintenance and operation of the Building, in
which event Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with
Tenant's business operations.
The heating, ventilating, air conditioning and electrical service furnished
by Landlord pursuant to this Section 4, shall be furnished at capacities
sufficient to accommodate Tenant's use of the equipment listed on Appendix F
attached hereto.
Tenant shall make arrangements directly with the telephone company servicing
the Building for such telephone service in the Premises as may be desired by
Tenant. Tenant shall pay the entire cost of all telephone charges.
5. ALTERATIONS AND REPAIRS.
A. Tenant shall not make any improvements or alterations in or additions,
changes or installations to the Premises (collectively, "Work") without
submitting plans and specifications therefor to Landlord, and obtaining
Landlord's prior written consent in each instance. Landlord may withhold such
consent in its sole discretion if the improvements or alterations or additions
or changes or installation shall affect the structural portions of the Project
or any of its mechanical, electrical or plumbing systems. Tenant shall have the
right, without Landlord's consent, to make non-structural alterations, the total
cost of which are less than $10,000.00. For the purpose of the preceding
sentence, the term "non-structural alterations" shall mean aesthetic changes to
the Premises such as painting, carpeting, and wall covering. Tenant shall also
have the right to perform internal wiring Work without first obtaining
Landlord's consent to such Work; provided, however, Tenant hereby indemnifies
and holds harmless Landlord and the Project from any and all loss, damages,
costs, liabilities and expenses arising in connection with the internal wiring
Work performed by Tenant, its employees, agents or contractors, including
without limitations, damages and costs incurred by other tenants of the Project
because of such Work. All Work shall be performed (a) at the sole cost and
expense of Tenant by employees of contractors employed by Landlord, or with
Landlord's written consent given prior to the letting of the contract, by
contractors employed by Tenant under a written contract previously approved in
writing by Landlord, and (b) on such terms and under such conditions as
Landlord, in its sole discretion, shall determine as will protect the Premises,
the Building and the Project from improper contractors' work and against the
imposition of any lien resulting from Work; without limiting the foregoing, if
Landlord consents to any Work, it shall be performed subject to the following
requirements:
(1) If the Work is to be done by Tenant's contractors, Tenant shall
furnish to Landlord prior to commencement thereof building permits and
certificates of appropriate insurance and bonds satisfactory in all respects
to Landlord.
(2) Upon completion of any Work, Tenant shall furnish Landlord with
contractors' affidavits and full and final waivers of lien, each conforming
to the applicable Wisconsin statutory requirements, as-built plans of any
Work and receipted bills covering all labor and materials expended and used.
(3) Any Work permitted to be undertaken by Tenant's contractors shall
be performed in such a fashion and by such means as necessary to maintain
peace and harmony among the other contractors serving the Project and the
other tenants and so as not to cause interference with the continuance of
work to be performed or services to be rendered to the Project or the other
tenants.
(4) All Work shall comply with all insurance requirements and with all
applicable laws, ordinances and regulations. All Work shall be constructed
in a good and workmanlike manner, and only good grades of material shall be
used with a quality equal to or better than that used in the Project.
(5) Tenant shall permit Landlord to supervise all Work within the
Premises. Landlord shall charge a supervisory fee not to exceed (a) ten
percent (10%) of the total cost of the Work, including, without limitation,
all labor and material costs, if Landlord's employees or contractors perform
the Work, and (b) five percent (5%) of the total cost of the Work,
including, without limitation, all labor and material costs, if Tenant's
employees or contractors perform the Work and if Tenant was required to
obtain Landlord's consent to the Work pursuant to this Section 5.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to pay the 5%
supervisory fee for internal wiring Work performed by Tenant, its employees
or contractors.
B. If Tenant desires telegraphic, telephonic, burglar alarm, computer
installations or signal service (all of which shall be at Tenant's sole cost and
expense), Landlord shall, upon request, direct where and how all connections and
wiring for such service shall be introduced and run. In the absence of any such
directions, Tenant shall make no borings, cutting or install any wires or cable
in or about the Premises. Landlord shall use its best efforts not to impose
conditions or requirements on Tenant with respect to this Section 5.B. that
unreasonably interfere with Tenant's business operations.
C. Tenant agrees to protect, defend and indemnify Landlord, its agents
(including, without limitation, the Rental Agent) and employees, the Premises,
the Building and the Project from and against any and all liabilities of every
kind and description which may arise out of or be connected in any way with any
Work, performed by Tenant and whether performed in compliance with this
Section 5.
D. Any mechanic's lien filed against the Premises or the Project or any
notice which is received by either Landlord or Tenant or filed for work or
materials furnished or claimed to be furnished and deriving from Work or for
materials or work claimed to have been furnished to Tenant or the Premises shall
be released and discharged of record by Tenant, in either case, within ten (10)
days after such filing or receipt, whichever is applicable, at Tenant's expense.
If Tenant chooses to contest such claim or notice or lien, Tenant may do so in
place of causing the release and discharge thereof, provided that within said
twenty (20) day period, (i) Tenant provides Landlord with a title indemnity or
bond or other adequate security covering any possible lien or claim that may
arise from the failure to release and discharge such claim, notice or lien; (ii)
Tenant contests such claim, notice or lien in good faith by appropriate
proceedings that operate to stay enforcement thereof; and (iii) Tenant promptly
pays and discharges any final adverse judgment entered in any such proceeding.
If Tenant has not caused the release or discharge or begun appropriate
proceedings to contest such claim, notice or lien, within said twenty (20) days,
Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, pay the amount necessary to remove
the same without being responsible for making an investigation as to the
validity or accuracy thereof and the amount so paid, together with all costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by
Landlord in connection therewith, shall be deemed Additional Rent hereunder,
payable upon demand. Tenant has no power or authority to cause or permit any
lien or encumbrance of any kind whatsoever, whether created
-8-
by act of Tenant, operation of law or otherwise, to attach to or be placed upon
Landlord's title or interest in the Premises or the Project, and any and all
liens and encumbrances created by Tenant shall attach to Tenant's interest only.
E. Except for ordinary wear and as otherwise provided in this Lease, Tenant
shall, at all times during the Term hereof, at its sole expense, keep all
Tenant's movable and removable fixtures located in or appurtenant to the
Premises in good order, repair and condition, and Tenant shall promptly arrange
with the Landlord to have Landlord (or Landlord's agent) make repairs of all
other damages to the Premises and the replacement or repair of all damages or
broken glass (including signs thereon), fixtures and appurtenants (including
hardware and heating, cooling, ventilating, electrical, plumbing and other
mechanical facilities in the Premises), with materials equal in quality and
class to the original materials damaged or broken, within any reasonable period
of time specified by Landlord. Landlord may, but shall not be required to do so,
enter the Premises at all reasonable times to make any repairs, alterations,
improvements or additions, as Landlord shall desire or deem necessary for the
safety, protection, preservation or improvement of the Project, or as Landlord
may be required to do by any governmental department or agency, or by the order
or decree of any court or by any other proper authority. The cost of all repairs
made by Landlord to the Project which are made necessary as a result of misuse
or neglect by Tenant or Tenant's employees, invitees, servants, contractors or
agents shall be immediately paid as Additional Rent by Tenant to Landlord upon
being billed for same. The cost of all other repairs and replacements (except
those caused by Tenant's misuse or negligence and those relating to Tenant's
movable and removable fixtures) shall be paid for by the Landlord and deemed an
item of Operating Costs.
F. Landlord shall maintain, replace and repair the exterior structural
portions of the Premises, to-wit: foundation, bearing wall and roof. Landlord
shall maintain, replace and repair all walls, plate glass, floors and ceilings,
wiring (except for Tenant's telephone and data wiring), pipes and equipment
within the walls, floors and ceilings, and all equipment including without
limitation, heating, air conditioning, ventilation, electrical and plumbing
equipment and elevator machinery. Landlord shall maintain the Project in as good
a condition and repair as the Project was in on the Commencement Date of this
Lease. Landlord shall manage and operate the Project in a manner consistent with
the management and operation of the Project as of the Commencement Date of this
Lease. Landlord shall maintain, repair and replace all common areas in the
Building and the Project in as good a condition and repair and in as clean and
orderly an appearance as existed on the Commencement Date of this Lease. Costs
and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with its maintenance, repair and
replacement obligations shall be included as an item of Operating Costs. To the
best of Landlord's knowledge and belief, the Project is in good repair and all
Project systems are in operating condition as of the Commencement Date.
6. USES OF PREMISES. The Premises shall be occupied and used by Tenant only
for general office purposes, and for no other purpose. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, no use shall be made of the Premises nor acts done
which will increase the existing rate of insurance upon the Project or cause a
cancellation of any insurance policy covering the Project or any part thereof or
require additional insurance coverage. Tenant shall not permit to be kept, used
or sold in or about the Premises any article which may be prohibited by
Landlord's insurance policies.
7. BUILDING RULES AND GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS. Tenant shall abide by all
applicable laws or governmental regulations concerning its use of the Premises.
Tenant shall not be required to make any alterations or improvements to the
Project unless related to the conduct of Tenant's business on the Premises, to
make the Project comply with any governmental law, rule, regulation, order or
ordinances. Tenant shall also abide by all uniform reasonable rules and
regulations adopted or to be adopted from time to time by Landlord pertaining to
the operation and management of the Project. Except in the event of an
emergency, Landlord shall give Tenant thirty (30) days prior written notice of
the adoption of any rule or regulation. If any rules and regulations are
contrary to the terms of the Lease, the terms of this Lease shall prevail. The
present rules are contained in Appendix C. The violation of the Project rules or
the laws or regulations governing Tenant's use of the Premises shall be subject
to a default under Section 11 (A)(2) of this Lease. Landlord shall not be
responsible to Tenant for violation of rules or regulations or terms of this
Lease or any other Lease in the Project by another tenant, nor shall failure to
obey the same by others or lack of enforcement by Landlord relieve Tenant from
its obligations to comply therewith. Landlord shall use its best efforts to
enforce all rules and regulations in a non-discriminatory manner.
8. CLAIMS; INSURANCE LIABILITY.
A. To the extent permitted by law, Tenant waives all claims it may have
against Landlord, its officers, directors, servants, agents or employees for
damage to person or property sustained by Tenant or by any occupant of the
Premises or the Project, or any other person, occurring in or about the Premises
or the Project, resulting from the Premises or the Project or any part of said
Premises or Project becoming out of repair or resulting from any existing or
future condition, defect, matter or thing in the Premises, the Project or any
part of it, or from equipment or appurtenances therein, or from the action of
the elements, or any accident within or adjacent to the Premises or Project or
resulting directly or indirectly from any act or omission of Landlord or any
occupant of the Premises or Project or any other person while on the Premises or
the Project. If any such damage to the Premises or the Project or any equipment
or appurtenances therein, or to tenants thereof, or their agents, employees,
contractors or invitees, results from any act, omission or negligence of Tenant,
its agents, employees, servants, contractors or invitees, Landlord may, at
Landlord's option, repair such damage and Tenant shall upon demand by Landlord
reimburse Landlord for all costs of such repairs and damages. All property on
the Project or in the Premises belonging to the Tenant, its agents, employees,
servants, contractors or invitees or to any occupant of the Premises shall be
there at the risk of the Tenant or such other person only and Landlord shall not
be liable for damage thereto or theft, misappropriation or loss thereof.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 8 to the contrary, no
agreement of Tenant in this Section 8 shall be deemed to exempt Landlord from
liability for injury to person or damage to property caused by or resulting from
the negligence of Landlord, its agents or employees in the operation or
maintenance of the Premises or the Project or resulting from Landlord's default
under this Lease.
B. Landlord and Tenant agree to have all property insurance policies which
maybe carried by either of them endorsed with a clause providing that any
release from liability of or waiver of claim for recovery from the other party
entered into in writing by the insured thereunder prior to any loss or damage
shall not affect the validity of said policy or the right of the insured to
recover thereunder. Without limiting any release or waiver of liability or
recovery contained in any other Section of this Lease but rather in confirmation
and furtherance thereof, Landlord and Tenant each hereby waive any and every
claim for recovery from the other for any and all loss of or damage to the
Project or the Premises or to the contents thereof, which loss or damage is
covered by valid and collectible special form property coverage insurance
policies, to the extent that such loss or damage is recoverable under said
insurance policies. Inasmuch as this mutual waiver will preclude the assignment
of any such claim by subrogation (or otherwise) to an insurance company (or any
other person), Landlord and Tenant each agree to give to each insurance company
which has issued, or in the future may issue, its policies of special form
property coverage insurance, written notice of the terms of this mutual waiver,
and to have said insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary to prevent
the invalidation of said insurance coverage by reason of said waiver.
-9-
C. At all times during the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall at its sole cost
and expense maintain in full force and effect insurance protecting Tenant and
Landlord and their respective agents and employees, and any other parties
designated by Landlord from time to time, with terms, coverages and in companies
at all times reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and with such increases in
limits as Landlord may, from time to time, reasonably request. Initially, such
coverage shall be in the following amounts:
(1) Comprehensive or Commercial General Liability Insurance, including
Contractual Liability insuring the indemnification provisions contained in
this Lease, with limits of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00)
combined single limit per occurrence for Bodily Injury, Death and Property
Damage, and umbrella coverage of not less than $5,000,000. The Comprehensive
or Commercial General Liability policy shall include the Landlord as an
additional insured, with a severability of interest endorsement.
(2) Insurance against (a) "All Risks" of physical loss covering the
tenant improvements (if any) described in Item 12 of the Schedule, the Work,
movable fixtures, office equipment, furniture, trade fixtures, merchandise
and all other items of Tenant's property on the Premises, and (b) loss of use
of the Premises. Landlord shall maintain in full force and effect insurance
in amounts, with companies and of a type maintained by prudent landlords of
buildings of similar age and quality to the Building in the Milwaukee,
Wisconsin metropolitan area. The amount of the deductible under such
insurance policies shall be the amount which is customary under insurance
policies maintained by prudent landlords of buildings of similar age and
quality to the Building in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin, metropolitan area
(currently estimated to be $20,000.00). Tenant understands and agrees that in
lieu of insurance, Landlord may provide self-insurance with respect to the
Building, insuring itself against casualties similar to those insured against
by landlords of buildings of similar age and quality to the Building in the
Milwaukee, Wisconsin metropolitan area; provided, however, if Landlord elects
to self-insure, for all purposes of this Lease, Landlord will be deemed to
have in effect insurance policies of the type and in amounts and with
deductible amounts maintained by prudent landlords of buildings of similar
age and quality to the Building in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin metropolitan
area. In the event of damage to the Building, Landlord shall not be required
to make any claims under Landlord's insurance policy. If Landlord chooses not
to make a claim under its insurance policy with respect to such damage,
however, Landlord shall not include as an Operating Cost, the amount Landlord
would have recovered had Landlord made such claim, to the extent that the
loss or damage would have been recoverable under said insurance policies.
D. Tenant hereby agrees to prior to the commencement of the Term hereof and
prior to the expiration of any policy, furnish Landlord certificates evidencing
that all required insurance is in force and providing that such insurance may
not be cancelled or changed without at least thirty (30) days' prior written
notice to Landlord and Tenant (unless such cancellation is due to nonpayment of
premiums, in which event ten (10) days' prior written notice shall be provided).
E. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord and
its officers, directors, servants, agents and employees against any claims or
liability for damage to person or property (or for loss or misappropriation of
property) occurring in the Premises, arising from any breach or default on the
part of Tenant during the Term of this Lease or from any act or omission of
Tenant or of any employee, agent, servant, invitee or contractor of Tenant, and
from any costs relating thereto (including, without limitation, attorney's
fees).
F. Landlord hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Tenant and
its officers, directors, servants, agents and employees against any claims or
liability for damage to person or property (or for loss or misappropriation of
property) occurring in any part of the Project other than the Premises, arising
from any breach or default on the part of the Landlord during the term of this
Lease or from any act or omission of Landlord or of any employee, agent,
servant, invitee or contractor of Landlord, and from any costs relating thereto
(including without limitation, attorneys' fees).
9. FIRE AND OTHER CASUALTY.
A. In the event that (i) the Premises are made substantially untenantable by
fire or other casualty, including damage or casualties of war, and Landlord
shall decide not to restore or repair the same, or (ii) the Building is so
damaged by fire or other casualty that Landlord shall decide to demolish or not
rebuild the same, then, in either of such events, either Landlord or Tenant
shall have the right to terminate this Lease by notice to the other within
ninety (90) days after the date of such fire or other casualty.
B. If the Premises or the Building are made untenantable by fire or other
casualty, and this Lease is not terminated pursuant to Section 9A above,
Landlord shall, to the extent permitted by any mortgages or Ground Leases with
respect to the Premises and the Project, immediately take such action as is
necessary to make applicable insurance proceeds available and to use the same to
reconstruct, repair and restore the Building and the Premises, subject to zoning
laws and building codes then in effect, and including only Building Standard
Tenant Improvements (as provided in Exhibit A of Appendix D) or, if any portion
of the Premises has been leased on an "as is" basis, including only improvements
similar to those located in such portion of the Premises on the Commencement
Date or the date on which such portion was added to the Premises, if later than
the Commencement Date (herein, the improvements Landlord is required to make are
called the "Required Improvements"), and at Landlord's option Tenant may be
permitted or required to devote the proceeds of its insurance described in
Section 8C(2)(a) to cause restoration of tenant improvements over and above the
Required Improvements, and pay for the same to Landlord or through Landlord as
if newly done pursuant to Section 5 of this Lease. In the event a fire or other
casualty occurs and both Landlord and Tenant are insured, it is agreed that the
coverage of the Landlord shall be primary and that Landlord's recovery in no
event shall be reduced by any insurance recovery to Tenant.
C. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9 to the contrary, if all or any
portion of the Premises shall be made untenantable by a fire or other casualty,
Landlord shall with reasonable promptness and in no event later than 30 days
following the fire or other casualty cause a registered architect selected by
Landlord and licensed to do business in Wisconsin to estimate the amount of time
required to substantially complete repair and substantially complete restoration
of the Premises and make the Premises tenantable again, using standard working
methods. If the estimate indicates that the Premises cannot be made tenantable
within six (6) months from the date the repair and restoration is started,
either party shall have the right to terminate this Lease by giving to the
other notice of such election within ten (10) days after its receipt of the
architect's certificate. If the estimate of the registered architect indicates
that the Premises can be made tenantable within six (6) months from the date the
repair and restoration is started, or if neither party terminates this Lease
pursuant to this Section 9C, Landlord shall proceed with reasonable promptness
to repair and restore the Premises, provided that if the estimate of the
registered architect indicates that the Premises can be made tenantable within
six (6) months from the date repair and restoration is started, and if Landlord
does not repair and restore the Premises within said six (6) month period, which
six (6) month period shall be extended to the extent of any Reconstruction
Delays, then Tenant may terminate this Lease upon fifteen (15) days prior
written notice to Landlord. For purposes of this Lease, the term "Reconstruction
Delays" shall mean: (i) any delays caused by the insurance adjustment process,
(ii) any delays caused by Tenant, and (iii) any delays caused by events beyond
Landlord's reasonable control.
D. In the event that this Lease is terminated pursuant to Section 9A or
Section 9C above, Rent shall be apportioned on a per diem basis and be paid to
the date of the fire or other casualty. In the event that such fire or casualty
renders all or any portion of the Premises
-10-
untenantable and this Lease is not terminated pursuant to Section 9A or Section
9C, then subject to the last sentence of this Section 9D, the Rent provided for
in this Lease shall xxxxx on a per diem basis during the period of repair and
restoration until the Premises are tenantable again, and the abatement shall be
in an amount bearing the same ratio to the total amount of Rent due for such
period as the untenantable portion of the Premises from time to time bears to
the entire Premises. Any provision hereof notwithstanding, Tenant's Rent shall
not xxxxx if its negligence was the cause of the fire or other casualty; and
whether or not the Lease is terminated, Tenant's recovery shall be limited to
the amount necessary to cause restoration of the tenant improvements as
described in this Section 9.
10. RIGHTS RESERVED TO THE LANDLORD. Landlord reserves the following rights,
exercisable without notice to Tenant except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, and without liability to Tenant for damage or injury to property, person
or business (all such claims being hereby released, except to the extent that
they are caused by Landlord's negligence), and without effecting an eviction or
disturbance of Tenant's use or possession or giving rise to any claim for
offsets, or abatements of Rent or affecting any of Tenant's obligations under
this Lease. Specification of the rights reserved to Landlord herein shall not
exclude any right accruing to Landlord by operation of law or reserved
specifically or by inference from any provision contained in this Lease:
A. Name: To change the Project's name or street address.
----
B. Signs: To install, affix and maintain any and all signs on the
-----
exterior and interior of the Building. No signs visible from the exterior of
the Building or from within its lobbies or common corridors shall be
permitted to be installed in the Premises by Tenant without Landlord's
approval of the sign and the location thereof, which may be withheld in
Landlord's sole discretion. Landlord reserves the right to remove at Tenant's
expense any such sign not so approved by Landlord.
C. Windows: To designate and approve, prior to installation, a11 types
-------
of window shades, blinds. drapes, awnings, window ventilators and other
similar equipment and to control all the internal lighting that may be
visible from the exterior of any Building.
D. Service Contracts: To designate all sources furnishing sign painting
-----------------
and lettering, ice and drinking water, towels, toilet supplies, shoe shining
or other services on the Premises, provided that the rates for such services
as are designated by Landlord are reasonably competitive with rates charged
therefor in the Milwaukee metropolitan area.
E. Keys: To retain at all times and to use passkeys to the Premises and
----
keys to all locks within and into the Premises. No locks or bolts shall be
altered, changed or added without the prior written consent of Landlord.
F. Access for Repairs, etc.: To have access to the Premises to perform
-------------------
its duties and obligations under this Lease and to inspect the Premises, make
repairs, alteration, additions or improvements, whether structural or
otherwise, in and about the Premises, the Project or any part thereof as set
forth in various Sections of this Lease including, without limitation,
Section 5 and Section (10N). Except in the event of an emergency, Landlord
shall access the Premises only upon the prior consent of Tenant; provided,
however, in the event Tenant does not consent to Landlord's entering the
Premises for the purposes of making any repair, alteration, additions or
improvements required to be made, whether structural or otherwise, or to
perform Landlord's maintenance, repair and replacement obligations under this
Lease, Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant with respect to any damage
caused because of Landlord's inability to gain access to the Premises and
Tenant shall be liable for any loss or damage to the Project caused because
Landlord was not permitted access to the Premises.
G. Occupancy: To decorate, remodel, repair, alter or otherwise prepare
---------
the Premises for reoccupancy at any time after Tenant vacates or abandons the
Premises. Such acts of Landlord shall not relieve Tenant of its obligation to
pay Rent to the Termination Date.
H. Rights to Conduct Businesses: To grant to anyone the exclusive right
----------------------------
to conduct any business or render any service in the Project provided such
exclusive right shall not operate to exclude Tenant from the use permitted by
this Lease.
I. Heavy Equipment: To approve the weight, size or location of safes and
---------------
other heavy equipment and articles in and about the Premises and the Project
and to require all such items and furniture to be moved into and out of the
Building or anywhere else in the Project and the Premises only at such times
and in such manner as Landlord shall direct in writing. Movement of Tenant's
property into or out of the Project and within the Project is entirely at the
risk and responsibility of Tenant.
J. Show Premises: To show the Premises to prospective tenants or brokers
-------------
during the last year of the Term of this Lease or the last year of any
extension thereof or to show the Premises to prospective purchasers at all
reasonable times, provided prior notice is given to Tenant in each case and
Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises shall not materially be
inconvenienced by any such action of Landlord.
K. Close Project: To close or restrict access to the Project during such
-------------
hours as Landlord shall from time to time reasonably determine, and on
Holidays subject, however, to Tenant's right to admittance at all times under
such regulations as Landlord may prescribe from time to time which may
include, by way of example but not of limitation, that persons entering or
leaving the Project identify themselves to a security guard by registration
or otherwise and that said persons establish their right to enter or leave
the Project.
-11-
L. [Reserved]
M. Use of Lock Box by Landlord: Landlord may from time to time elect to
---------------------------
designate a lock box collection agent (independent agent, bank or other
financial institution) to act as Landlord's agent for the collection of amounts
due Landlord. In such event the date of payment of Rent or other sums paid
Landlord through such agent shall be the date of agent's receipt of such payment
(or the date of collection of any such sum if payment is made in the form of a
negotiable instrument thereafter dishonored upon presentment); however, for
purposes of this Lease, no such payment or collection shall be deemed "accepted"
by Landlord if Landlord issues a check payable to the order of the Tenant in the
amount sent to the lock box and if Landlord mails the check to the Tenant
addressed to the place designated in this Lease for notice to Tenant within
twenty-one (21) days after the amount sent by the Tenant is received by the lock
box collection agent or if the Landlord returns a dishonored instrument within
twenty-one (21) days of its dishonor. Return of any such sum to Tenant by so
sending such a check of the Landlord or by so sending a dishonored instrument to
the Tenant within the appropriate twenty-one (21) day period shall be deemed to
be rejection of Tenant's tender of such payment for all purposes as of the date
of Landlord's lock box collection agent's receipt of such payment (or
collection). The return of Tenant's payment in the manner described in this
Section 10(M) shall be deemed not to be a waiver of any breach by Tenant of any
term, covenant or condition of this Lease nor a waiver of any of Landlord's
rights or remedies granted in this Lease. The possession of Tenant's funds or
negotiation of Tenant's negotiable instrument by Landlord's agent or Landlord
during the applicable twenty-one (21) day period shall be deemed not to be a
waiver of any defaults of Tenant or any rights of Landlord theretofore accrued
nor shall any such possession or negotiation be considered an acceptance of
Tenant's tender.
N. Repairs and Alterations: At any time Landlord may decorate, make
-----------------------
alterations, additions or improvements structural or otherwise, in or to the
Project or any part thereof, including the Premises, and perform any acts
required or permitted hereunder or related to the safety, protection,
preservation or improvement of the Project or the Premises, and during such
operations Landlord shall have the right to take into and through the Premises
or any part of the Project all material and equipment required and to close and
temporarily suspend operation of entrances, doors, corridors, elevators and
other facilities, and to have access to and open all ceilings, without liability
to Tenant by reason of interference, inconvenience, annoyance or loss of
business; provided, however, that Landlord shall cause as little inconvenience
or annoyance to Tenant as is reasonably possible under the circumstances, and
shall not do any act which would permanently reduce the size of the Premises.
Landlord shall do any such work during ordinary business hours, and Tenant shall
pay Landlord for overtime and for any other expenses incurred if such work is
done during other hours at Tenant's request. Landlord may do or permit any
work to be done upon or along, and any use of, any adjacent or nearby building,
land, street, alley or way. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts not to make
voluntarily alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises except upon
forty-eight (48) hours advance notice to Tenant and then only in a manner which
does not materially interfere with Tenant's business operations, unless Landlord
must do so because of an emergency or if necessary for the proper maintenance
and operation of the Building, in which event Landlord shall use reasonable
efforts to minimize interference with Tenant's business operations.
O. Other Rights: All other rights reserved by the Landlord pursuant to the
------------
provisions of this Lease.
11. DEFAULT AND LANDLORD'S REMEDIES.
A. Defaults: The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default
--------
hereunder:
(1) If Tenant defaults in the payment of Rent (whether Base Rent, Operating
Cost Share Rent, Tax Share Rent, or Additional Rent), or any other sum required
to be paid by this Lease; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be entitled
to exercise its remedies set forth herein or at law or in equity with respect to
such default, unless such default is not remedied within five (5) days after
written notice thereof by Landlord to Tenant;
(2) If Tenant defaults in the prompt and full performance or observance of
any term, covenant, agreement or provision of this Lease (except those specified
in Subsections (1), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8) and (9) of this Section 11A);
provided, however, that Landlord shall not be entitled to exercise its remedies
set forth herein or at law or in equity with respect to such default, (i) if
such default is remedied within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by
the Landlord, or (ii) with respect to a default which cannot reasonably be cured
within thirty (30) days, if Tenant immediately commences to cure and diligently
proceeds to complete the cure
-12-
of such default within a reasonable time period which shall in no event extend
beyond ninety (90) days after Tenant receives written notice of such default.
(3) If Tenant abandons the Premises during the term hereof;
(4) If the leasehold interest of Tenant is levied upon under execution or
is attached under process of law, which levy or attachment continues for a
period of thirty (30) days;
(5) If Tenant becomes insolvent or bankrupt or shall generally not pay its
debts as they become due or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its
debts or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors;
(6) If Tenant shall commence any case, proceeding or other action seeking
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition
of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking appointment of a receiver,
trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or any
substantial part of its property;
(7) If Tenant shall take any corporate or other action to authorize any of
the actions set forth above in Subsections (5) and (6) of this Section 11A;
(8) If any case, proceeding or other action against Tenant shall be
commenced seeking to have an order for relief entered against it as debtor, or
seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or
composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking appointment of a receiver,
trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or any
substantial part of its property, and such case, proceeding or other action (i)
results in the entry of an order for relief against it which is not fully stayed
within seven (7) business days after the entry thereof or (ii) remains
undismissed for a period of thirty (30) days;
(9) If Tenant does any act or any other circumstance occurs in violation
of the provisions of Sections 14.G. and 16; or
(10) If Tenant defaults under any other lease, other than this Lease, made
by the Tenant for any demised premises in the Building after the making of this
Lease, the same shall empower Landlord, at Landlord's sole option, to deem such
default of the other lease a default of this Lease.
B. Landlord's Remedies.
-------------------
(1) Upon the occurrence of any one or more defaults by Tenant, Landlord
may elect, by written notice to Tenant, to terminate this Lease and Tenant's
right to the Premises as of the date set forth in the notice or, without
terminating this Lease, to terminate Tenant's right to possession of the
Premises as of the date set forth in the notice. Upon any termination of this
Lease, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, or upon any termination of
Tenant's right to possession without termination of the Lease, Tenant shall
surrender possession and vacate the Premises and deliver possession thereof to
Landlord, and Tenant hereby grants to Landlord full and free license to enter
into and upon the Premises with process of law in the event of any such
termination of this Lease or of Tenant's right to possession, and to repossess
Landlord of the Premises as of Landlord's former estate and to expel or remove
Tenant and any others who may be occupying or be within the Premises and to
remove any and all property therefrom and without relinquishing Landlord's
rights to Rent or any other right given to Landlord hereunder or by law or in
equity. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 11. Tenant expressly waives
the service of any notice of intention to terminate this Lease or to reenter the
Premises and waives the service of any demand for payment of Rent or possession
and waives the service of any other notice or demand prescribed by any statute
or other law.
(2) If Tenant voluntarily abandons the Premises or otherwise entitles
Landlord to elect to terminate Tenant's right to possession only without
terminating the Lease, and Landlord does so elect, Landlord may at Landlord's
option enter into the Premises, remove Tenant's signs and other evidences of
tenancy, and take and hold possession thereof as set forth in Subsection B(1) of
this Section 11, without such entry and possession terminating the Lease or
releasing Tenant, in whole or in part, from Tenant's obligation to pay the Rent
hereunder for the full Term, and, at Landlord's option, the present value of the
aggregate amount of the Base Rent, Operating Cost Share Rent, and Tax Share Rent
(based upon the amount thereof for the calendar month immediately preceding the
month in which the default has occurred) for the period from the date stated in
the written notice terminating possession to the stated end of the Term (such
present value to be computed on the basis of a per annum discount rate equal to
one (1) percentage point below the Corporate Base Rate at the time of the
default) shall be immediately due and payable by Tenant to Landlord, together
with any other monies due hereunder, and Landlord shall have right to immediate
recovery of all such amounts. In addition, Landlord shall have the right from
time to time, to recover from Tenant, and Tenant shall remain liable for, all
Rent, not theretofore accelerated and paid pursuant to the foregoing sentence
and any other sums thereafter accruing as they become due under this Lease
during the period from the date stated in the notice terminating possession to
the stated end of the Term. Upon and after entry into possession without
termination of the Lease, subject to Landlord's right to first Rent other vacant
areas in the Building, Landlord may relet the Premises or any part thereof to
any person, firm or corporation other than Tenant for such Rent, for such time
(which may be a period extending beyond the stated Term of this Lease) and upon
such terms as Landlord in Landlord's sole discretion shall determine, and
Landlord shall not be required to accept any tenant offered by Tenant or to
observe any instructions by Tenant relating to such reletting. In any such case,
Landlord may make repairs, alterations and additions in or to the Premises and
redecorate the same to the extent deemed necessary or desirable by Landlord, and
in connection therewith
Landlord may change the locks to the Premises, and Tenant shall upon written
demand pay the cost thereof, together with Landlord's expenses of reletting. Any
proceeds from the reletting of the Premises by Landlord shall be collected by
Landlord and shall first be applied against the cost and expenses of reentry and
of reletting the Premises including, but not limited to, all brokerage,
advertising, legal, alteration, redecoration, repair, and other reasonably
necessary costs and expenses incurred to secure a new tenant for the Premises,
and second to the payment of Rent herein provided to be paid by the Tenant. If
the consideration collected by Landlord upon any such reletting, after payment
of the expenses of reletting the Premises, is not sufficient to pay any
accelerated amounts of Rent due and owing and to pay monthly the full amount of
the Rent reserved in this Lease and not theretofore accelerated, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord the accelerated amounts upon demand, and the amount of each
monthly deficiency as it becomes due. If the consideration collected by Landlord
upon any such reletting for Tenant's account after payment of the expenses of
reletting the Premises is greater than the amount necessary to pay accelerated
amounts of Rent due and owing and to pay the full amount of the Rent reserved in
this Lease and not theretofore accelerated, the full amount of such excess shall
be retained by Landlord and in no event shall be payable to Tenant. No such
reentry, repossession, repairs, alterations, additions or reletting shall be
construed as an eviction or ouster of Tenant or as an election on Landlord's
part to terminate this Lease, unless written notice of such intention is given
to Tenant, or shall operate to release Tenant in whole or in part from any of
Tenant's obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 11.B.(2), Landlord will mitigate its damages as may be
required by law.
(3) If Landlord shall decide to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall be
entitled to recover from Tenant all of the amounts of Rent accrued and unpaid
for the period up to and including the date of the termination, as well as all
other additional sums for which Tenant is liable, or in respect of which Tenant
has agreed to indemnify Landlord under any of the provisions of this Lease,
which may then be owing and unpaid, and all costs and expenses including without
limitation, court costs and attorneys' fees incurred by Landlord in the
enforcement of its rights and remedies hereunder, and in addition, Landlord, at
its sole option, shall be entitled to recover from Tenant, in lieu of any
amounts due under Section 11B(2) hereof, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on
demand, as final and liquidated damages (and not as a penalty), a sum equal to
the amount of Landlord's reasonable estimate of the aggregate amount of Base
Rent, Operating Cost Share Rent, Tax Share Rent, and Additional Rent that would
be payable for the period from the date of such termination through the
Termination Date, reduced by the then reasonable rental value of the Premises
for the same period, both discounted to present value at the rate per annum
equal to one (1) percentage point below the Corporate Base Rate at the time of
the default. If, before presentation of proof of such liquidated damages to any
court, commission or tribunal, the Premises, or any part thereof, shall have
been relet by Landlord for such period, or any part thereof, the amount of Rent
payable upon such reletting shall be deemed to be the reasonable rental value
for the part or the whole of the Premises relet during the term of the
reletting.
(4) Landlord may but shall not be obligated to cure any default by Tenant
hereunder, but, if Landlord so elects, all costs and expenses paid by Landlord
in curing such default and legal fees in connection therewith shall be
Additional Rent due on the next Rent date.
(5) Notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, any and all
remedies set forth in this Lease (i) shall be in addition to any and all other
remedies Landlord may have at law or in equity and (ii) shall be cumulative. The
waiver by Landlord of any breach of any term, covenant or condition herein
contained shall only be effective if it is in writing and shall not be deemed to
be a waiver of a continuing or subsequent breach of the same, or of any other
term, covenant or condition herein contained. The acceptance of Rent or any
other amounts due hereunder shall not be construed to be a waiver of any breach
by Tenant of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease, and if the same
shall be accepted after the termination of this Lease, by lapse of time or
otherwise, or of the Tenant's right of possession hereunder, or after the giving
of any notice, such acceptance shall not reinstate, continue or extend the Term
of this Lease or affect any notice given to Tenant prior to the receipt of such
amounts, it being agreed that after the service of notice or the commencement of
a suit or after final judgment for possession of the Premises, Landlord may
receive and collect any Rent and other sums due, and the payment of the same
shall not waive or affect said notice, suit or judgment.
(6) Notwithstanding any provision in this Lease prohibiting Landlord from
exercising its rights hereunder or at law or inequity if Tenant cures a default
within a specified period of time, if Tenant shall default (i) in the timely
payment of Rent (whether any or all of Base Rent, Operating Cost Share Rent, Tax
Share Rent, or Additional Rent) three or more times in any period of 12
consecutive months, or (ii) in the performance of any material particular term,
condition or covenant of this Lease three or more times in any period of six
consecutive months, then, notwithstanding that such defaults shall have each
been cured within any applicable cure period after notice, if any, as provided
in this Lease, any further similar default (including, without limitation, with
respect to non-payment of Rent, the further non-payment of any kind of Rent
payable under this Lease) shall not be curable by Tenant and Landlord shall have
the right to exercise all of the remedies provided in this Lease (including,
without limitation, any and all remedies at law and in equity) immediately after
the occurrence of such similar default.
(7) If the term of any lease, other than this Lease, made by the Tenant for
any demised premises in the Building shall be terminated or terminable after the
making of this Lease because of any default by the Tenant under such other
lease, such fact shall empower the Landlord, at Landlord's sole option, to
terminate this Lease by written notice to the Tenant.
(8) In the event that Tenant shall file for protection under the Bankruptcy
Code now or hereinafter in effect, or a trustee in bankruptcy shall be appointed
for Tenant, Landlord and Tenant agree to the extent permitted by law, to request
that the debtor-in-possession or trustee-in-bankruptcy, if one shall have been
appointed, assume or reject this Lease within sixty (60) days thereafter.

12. HOLDOVER. If Tenant retains possession of the Premises or any part
thereof after the termination of the Term or any extention thereof, by lapse of
time or otherwise, without Landlord's prior written consent, which shall not be
unreasonably withheld, Tenant shall become a tenant from month-to-month tenancy
only upon each and all of the terms herein provided as may be applicable to such
month-to-month tenancy and any such holdover shall not constitute an extension
of this Lease; provided, however, that during such holding over, Tenant shall
pay Base Rent, Operating Cost Share Rent, and Tax Share Rent at (a) one and one-
half times the rate payable for the fiscal year, or portion thereof, immediately
preceding said holding over, computed on a monthly basis for the time Tenant
thus remains in possession for the first two months that Tenant holds over and
(b) Tenant shall pay Base Rent, Operating Cost Share Rent and Tax Share Rent at
double the rate payable for the fiscal year, or portion thereof, immediately
preceding said holding over, computed on a monthly basis for the time Tenant
thus remains in possession thereafter, and, in addition, Tenant shall pay
Landlord all damages, consequential as well as direct, sustained by reason of
Tenant's holding over. Alternatively, at the election of Landlord expressed in a
written notice to tenant and not otherwise, such retention of possession shall
constitute a renewal of this Lease for one (1) year; provided, however, that
Tenant shall pay Base Rent in an amount equal to the greater of 150% of the rate
payable for the immediately preceding fiscal year, or portion thereof or 125% of
the then current market rate as determined by Landlord, and Tenant shall
continue to make all other payments required under this Lease, including,
without limitation, Operating Cost Share Rent and Tax Share Rent. Neither the
acceptance of Rent by the Landlord after termination, nor the provisions of this
Section: (i) shall be construed as, or operate as, a renewal or as a waiver of
Landlord's right of re-entry or right to regain possession by actions at law or
in equity or by any other right or remedy hereunder, or (ii) shall be construed
as, or operate as, a waiver of any other right or remedy of Landlord.
13. SUBORDINATION TO MORTGAGES AND GROUND LEASES.
A. Subordination. This Lease shall be subordinated to any and all Ground
-------------
Leases now or hereafter in force with respect to the Project at the election of
the ground lessor under any such Ground Lease. This Lease shall be subject to
all of the terms and conditions of such Ground Leases, which are hereby
incorporated in this Lease by this reference, and in the event of any conflict
between the terms hereof and the terms of any such Ground Leases, the terms of
such Ground Leases shall control. This Lease shall be subordinated to the lien
of any and all mortgages now or hereafter in force against (a) the Project and
(b) any and all Ground Leases with respect to the Project, at the election of
the mortgagee under any such mortgage. Landlord hereby represents that as of the
date hereof there are no Ground Leases with respect to the Project.
The respective rights to so subordinate this Lease at the election of any
such ground lessor or mortgagee shall continue during any amendment, renewal,
modification, consolidation, replacement or extension of each such Ground Lease
or mortgage, and shall apply to any and all advances made or hereafter made on
the security of each such mortgage.
Subordination shall be effective at election of any such ground lessor or
mortgagee. Election shall not be dependent on receipt of notice by Tenant of the
election to subordinate. Without limiting the foregoing, notice of the election
to subordinate may be given as provided for notices pursuant to this Lease.
Any subordination at the election of any such ground lessor or mortgagee
shall be self operating. Nevertheless, Tenant or its successors in interest upon
request of Landlord shall promptly execute and deliver (within ten (10) days
after a request therefor) at any time and from time to time upon the request of
Landlord, such instruments as are reasonably necessary or appropriate in
Landlord's judgment to evidence such subordination. Tenant shall not be required
to subordinate its interest in the Lease to the interest of any ground lessor or
mortgagee unless said ground lessor or mortgagee, as the case may be, shall
agree with Tenant in writing that as long as Tenant is not in default under the
terms and conditions of this Lease, Tenant shall not be disturbed in its use and
occupancy of the Premises as a result of the subordination referred to in this
Paragraph 13.A.
B. Termination of Ground Lease or Foreclosure of Mortgage. Should any
------------------------------------------------------
mortgage on the Project or on any Ground Lease be foreclosed or if any Ground
Lease be terminated and this Lease be continued:
(1) The liability of the mortgagee, ground lessor or purchaser at such
foreclosure sale shall exist only during the time such mortgagee, ground
lessor or purchaser is the owner of the Project.
(2) Tenant shall attorn, as Tenant under this Lease, without any
deductions or setoffs whatsoever to the purchaser at the foreclosure sale (or
the mortgagee if the mortgagee becomes owner of the fee estate or lessor
under any Ground Lease) or, if any Ground Lease be terminated for any reason,
Tenant shall be deemed to have attorned as Tenant under this Lease to the
ground lessor under the Ground Lease, and this Lease shall continue in full
force and effect as a direct lease between and binding upon Tenant and such
mortgagee or ground lessor, as the case may be. Likewise, Tenant will attorn
to a leasehold mortgagee in the event a leasehold mortgagee should ever
become the owner of the leasehold estate covered by its mortgage or should
become the owner of any new lease in replacement or substitution of such
leasehold estate. Tenant agrees to promptly execute and deliver (within ten
(10) days after a request therefor) at any time and from time to time upon
the request of Landlord, or of any ground lessor under any such Ground Lease,
or of any holder of any such mortgage or leasehold mortgage, or of any such
purchaser, any instrument which, in the sole judgment of such requesting
party, may be necessary or appropriate in any such foreclosure or termination
proceeding or otherwise in evidence such attornment. Tenant shall not be
required to attorn to any ground lessor or mortgagee, unless any such ground
lessor or mortgagee, as the case may be, agrees with Tenant in writing that
as long as Tenant is not in default under the terms and conditions of this
Lease, Tenant shall not be disturbed in its use and occupancy of the Premises
as a result of the foreclosure and/or attornment referred to in this
Paragraph 13.B.
C. Security Deposit. The mortgagee under a mortgage and the lessor under any
----------------
Ground Lease shall have no responsibility for the return of the security
deposit, if any, except to the extent the security deposit is held by such
mortgagee or ground lessor.
D. Notice and Right to Cure. Landlord hereby notifies Tenant that the Project
------------------------
is subject to the mortgages set forth on Appendix E attached hereto (Mortgages
Currently Affecting the Project), and Landlord agrees promptly to notify Tenant
of the placing of any additional Ground Leases or mortgages against the real
property or leasehold estate of which the Premises form a part.
-15-
Tenant agrees to give the mortgagees shown on Exhibit E and any other
mortgagee or lessor of any Ground Lease, by registered mail, a copy of any
notice of default served upon the Landlord, provided that prior to such notice
Tenant has been notified, in writing (by way of notice of Assignment of Rents
and Leases, or otherwise), of the address of such mortgagee or lessor under any
Ground Lease. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure
such default within the time provided for in this Lease, then such mortgagee or
lessor under any Ground Lease shall be permitted to cure the default within the
time periods or extensions thereof provided to Tenant for the curing of defaults
under this Lease (including but not limited to commencement of foreclosure or
lease forfeiture proceedings, if necessary to effect such cure).
14. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING BY TENANT.
A. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each
instance, (i) assign, transfer, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or encumber or
subject to or permit to exist upon or be subjected to any lien or charge, this
Lease or any interest under it, (ii) allow to exist or occur any transfer of or
lien upon this Lease or the Tenant's interest herein by operation of law, (iii)
sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or (iv) permit the use or occupancy of
the Premises or any part thereof for any purpose not provided for under Section
6 of this Lease or by anyone other than the Tenant and Tenant's employees. In no
event shall this Lease or any interest herein be assigned or assignable by
voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or by operation of law or
otherwise, and in no event shall this Lease or any rights or privileges
hereunder be an asset of Tenant under any bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization proceedings, except as provided by law. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the Premises without
Landlord's prior written consent (a) to any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of
Tenant if Tenant gives Landlord thirty (30) days prior written notice of the
proposed assignment or sublet and if Landlord receives within such thirty (30)
day period, evidence reasonably satisfactory to Landlord of the financial
capability of said parent, subsidiary or affiliate, or (b) in connection with a
reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale by Tenant of all or substantially
all of its assets, if Tenant gives Landlord thirty (30) days' prior written
notice of said reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale and if Landlord
receives evidence satisfactory to Landlord that the net worth of the proposed
transferee or surviving entity, as the case may be, is not less than Tenant's
net worth. Any parent, subsidiary or affiliate or other transferee or surviving
entity shall continue to use the Premises in a manner consistent with Tenant's
use of the Premises. Tenant's assignment or sublet to a parent, subsidiary or
affiliate or in connection with the sale, reorganization, merger, or
consolidation shall not operate to release Tenant from any of its liabilities
or obligations under this Lease. Tenant's right to assign this Lease or sublet
the Premises to a parent, subsidiary, or affiliate or in connection with a sale,
reorganization, merger or consolidation does not relieve Tenant of any other
obligations or deny Landlord any other of its rights under this Section 14,
unless specifically provided otherwise in this Section 14.
B. Consent by Landlord to any assignment, subletting, use, occupancy,
transfer or encumbrance shall not operate to relieve Tenant from any covenant,
liability or obligation hereunder (whether past, present or future), including,
without limitation, the obligation to pay Rent, except to the extent, if any,
expressly provided for in such consent, or be deemed to be a consent to any
subsequent assignment, subletting, use, occupancy, transfer or encumbrance.
Tenant shall pay all of Landlord's costs, charges and expenses, including
without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees, incurred in connection with any
assignment, subletting, use, occupancy, transfer or encumbrance made or
requested by Tenant.
C. Tenant shall, by notice in writing, advise Landlord of its intention
from, on and after a stated date (which shall not be less than sixty (60) days
after the date of Tenant's notice) to assign this Lease or sublet any part or
all of the Premises for the balance or any part of the Term, and, in such event
(except in those instances where Page 16, Insert 2 applies), Landlord shall have
the right, to be exercised by giving written notice to Tenant within thirty (3O)
days after receipt of Tenant's notice, to terminate this Lease with respect to
the space described in Tenant's notice as of the date stated in Tenant's notice
for the commencement of the proposed assignment or sublease. Tenant's notice
shall include the name and address of the proposed assignee or subtenant, a true
and complete copy of the proposed assignment or sublease and sufficient
information as Landlord deems necessary to permit Landlord to determine the
financial responsibility and character of the proposed assignee or subtenant. If
Tenant's notice covers all of the Premises and if Landlord exercises its right
to terminate this Lease as to such space, then the Term of this Lease shall
expire and end on the commencement date stated in Tenant's notice as fully and
completely as if that date had been the Termination Date. If, however, Tenant's
notice covers less than all of the Premises, and if Landlord exercises its right
to terminate this Lease with respect to such space described in Tenant's notice,
then as of the commencement date stated in Tenant's notice, the Rent reserved
herein shall be adjusted on the basis of the number of rentable square feet
retained by Tenant, and this Lease as so amended, shall continue thereafter in
full force and effect. If Landlord, upon receiving Tenant's notice, does not
exercise its right to terminate as aforesaid, Landlord will not unreasonably
withhold its consent to Tenant's assignment of this Lease or subletting the
space covered by its notice, provided Tenant is not in default beyond any
applicable grace or notice period. Without limitation, it shall be deemed
reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to Tenant's assignment of this
Lease or subletting the space covered by its notice if the proposed assignee or
sublessee is a tenant or occupant of the Building or an affiliate (a person
controlling, controlled by or under common control with) of a tenant or occupant
of the Building.
D. If Tenant, having first obtained Landlord's consent to any assignment or
sublease, or if Tenant or a trustee in bankruptcy for Tenant pursuant to the
Bankruptcy Code, shall assign this Lease or sublet the Premises, or any part
thereof, at a rental or for other consideration in excess of the aggregate of
the Base Rent, Operating Cost Share Rent, and Tax Share Rent due and payable by
Tenant under this Lease, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent
all of such excess Rent or other consideration within ten (10) days after
receipt thereof from time to time.
E. If Tenant shall assign this Lease as permitted herein, the assignee shall
expressly assume all of the obligations of Tenant hereunder and agree to comply
with and be bound by all of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease,
in a written instrument satisfactory to Landlord and furnished to Landlord not
later than fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of the assignment. If
Tenant shall sublease the Premises as permitted herein, Tenant shall obtain and
furnish to Landlord, not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the effective
date of such sublease and in form satisfactory to Landlord, the written
agreement of such subtenant that it shall comply with and be bound by all of the
terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease and that it will attorn to
Landlord, at Landlord's option and written request, in the event this Lease
terminates before the expiration of the sublease.
-16-
F. If Tenant is a corporation whose stock is not publicly traded, any
transaction or series of transactions (including, without limitation, any
dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, or any
issuance, sale, gift, transfer or redemption of any capital stock of Tenant,
whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, or any combination of any
of the foregoing transactions) resulting in the transfer of control of Tenant,
other than by reason of death, shall be deemed to be a voluntary assignment of
this Lease by Tenant subject to the provisions of this Section 14. If Tenant is
a partnership, any transaction or series of transactions (including without
limitation any withdrawal or admittance of a partner or any change in any
partner's interest in Tenant, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of
law, or any combination of any of the foregoing transactions) resulting in the
transfer of control of Tenant, other than by reason of death, shall be deemed to
be a voluntary assignment of this Lease by Tenant subject to the provisions of
this Section 14. The term "control" as used in this Section 14F means the power
to directly or indirectly direct or cause the direction of the management or
policies of Tenant. If Tenant is a corporation, a change or series of changes in
ownership of stock which would result in direct or indirect change in ownership
by the stockholders or an affiliated group of stockholders of less than fifty
percent (50%) of the outstanding stock as of the date of the execution and
delivery of this Lease shall not be considered a change of control.
G. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 14.A., Any assignment,
subletting, use, occupancy, transfer or encumbrance of this Lease or the
Premises without Landlord's prior written consent shall be of no effect and
shall, at the option of Landlord, constitute a default under this Lease.
15. SALE BY LANDLORD. In the event of sale or conveyance or transfer by
Landlord of its interest in the Project or in the Building or in this Lease, the
same shall operate to release Landlord (subject to the second paragraph of
Section 17 hereof entitled Security Deposit) from any future obligations and any
future liability for or under any of the covenants or conditions, express or
implied, herein contained in favor of Tenant, and in such event, and with
respect to such obligations, covenants and conditions, Tenant agrees to look
solely to the successor in interest of Landlord in and to this Lease. This Lease
shall not be affected by any such sale, conveyance or transfer.
16. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Landlord shall, at the request of Tenant and Tenant
shall at the request of Landlord at any time and from time to time upon not less
than ten (10) days' prior written notice, execute, acknowledge in recordable
form, and deliver to the other, or for the Tenant to its auditor or a
prospective purchaser of its business or assets, or to its assignee or subtenant
if acceptable to Landlord, or for the Landlord to Landlord's mortgagee, the
lessor under any Ground Lease, auditors or a prospective purchaser of the
Project or any part thereof, a certificate stating that this Lease is unmodified
and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such
modification and certifying that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force
and effect), and the dates to which the Rent and other charges are paid, and
that Tenant is paying Rent on a current basis with no offsets or claims, and
there are not, to Tenant's or Landlord's knowledge, as the case may be, any
uncured defaults on the part of Landlord or of Tenant (or specifying such
offsets, claims or defaults, if any are claimed). Such certificate may require
the party giving it to specify the date of commencement of Rent, the
Commencement Date, the Termination Date, the Base Rent, current Operating Cost
Share Rent, and Tax Share Rent estimates, the date to which Rent has been paid,
whether or not Landlord has completed any improvements required to be made to
the Premises and such other matters as may be required. It is expressly
understood and agreed that any such statement may be relied upon by any
prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of all or any portion of the Project or by
any ground lessor, or by a purchaser or assignee or lender to Tenant or to
auditors of either party hereto or by any other person to whom it is delivered.
The failure to deliver such statement within the time required hereunder shall,
at the option of the requesting party, be a default under this Lease, or be
conclusive evidence, binding upon the nonperforming party that this Lease is in
full force and effect, without modification except as may be represented by the
requesting party, that there are no uncured defaults by the requesting party and
that no more than one (1) month's Rent has been paid in advance, and the
nonperforming party shall be estopped from asserting any defaults known to it at
that time.
17. SECURITY DEPOSIT. [Reserved]
18. EXCUSE OF LANDLORD'S INABILITY TO PERFORM; LANDLORD'S DEFAULT. Except as
specifically provided to the contrary in this lease, this Lease and the
obligation of Tenant to pay Rent hereunder and perform all of Tenant's covenants
and
-17-
agreements hereunder shall not be impaired nor shall Landlord be in default
hereunder because Landlord is unable to fulfill any of its obligations under
this Lease, if Landlord is prevented or delayed from so doing by any of the
following (which shall be referred to herein as a "Force Majeure"); any
accident, breakage, repairs, alterations, improvements, strike or labor
troubles, or any other cause whatsoever beyond the reasonable control of
Landlord, including, but not limited to, energy shortages or governmental
preemption in connection with a national emergency, or by reason of government
laws or any rule, order or regulation of any department or subdivision thereof
of any governmental agency, or by reason of the conditions of supply and demand
which have been or are affected by war or other emergency.
19. PERSONAL PROPERTY. Tenant hereby conveys to Landlord all of the personal
property situated and to be situated on the Premises as security for the payment
of all Rent due or to become due hereunder. Said property shall not be removed
therefrom without the consent of Landlord until all Rent due or to become due
hereunder shall have first been paid and discharged. It is intended by the
parties hereto that this Lease constitutes a security agreement creating a
security interest in and to such property, subject to the liens of any existing
creditors, and Landlord, upon default of Tenant in the payment of Rent, shall
have all the rights of a secured party, as provided in the Wisconsin Uniform
Commercial Code, as from time to time in effect. Landlord shall have the right
to file financing statements or to file this security agreement as a financing
statement, after the occurrence of a default by Tenant which is not cured within
any applicable cure period and Tenant agrees to execute financing statements
upon request of Landlord.
20. NOTICES. All notices and approvals to be given by one party to the other
party under this Lease shall be given in writing, mailed or delivered as
follows:
A. To Landlord as follows:
Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America
c/o Inland Companies, Inc.
00000 X. Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 0000

With a copy to:

or to such other person at such other address designated by notice to Tenant.
B. To Tenant at the place set forth as Item 10 on the Schedule and at the
Premises or at such other address designated by notice to Landlord.
C. Notice may be given by United States mail, delivery by a nationally
recognized overnight courier service or by personal delivery. Mailed notices
shall be sent by United States certified or registered mail, postage prepaid and
shall be deemed to have been given upon receipt by the addressee or upon refusal
by the addressee to accept delivery. Notice by nationally recognized overnight
commercial courier service shall be deemed given upon receipt by the addressee
or upon refusal by the addressee to accept delivery thereof. Notice by personal
delivery shall be deemed given upon personal delivery.
21. QUIET POSSESSION. So long as Tenant shall observe and perform the
covenants and agreements binding on it hereunder, Tenant shall at all times
during the Term herein granted and subject to the provisions of this Lease
peacefully and quietly have and enjoy the possession of the Premises without any
encumbrance or hindrance by, from or through Landlord, its successors or
assigns.
22. REAL ESTATE BROKER. Tenant represents that it has not dealt with any real
estate broker except for that broker listed, if any, in Item 11 in the Schedule,
with respect to this Lease and, to its knowledge no other broker initiated or
participated in the negotiation of this Lease, submitted or showed the Premises
to Tenant or is entitled to any commission in connection with this Lease.
-18-
Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from all claims from any
other real estate broker for commission or fees in connection with this Lease.
23. CONDEMNATION. If all or any portion of the Project or Premises are taken
by eminent domain so that the Premises cannot be reasonably used by Tenant for
the purposes for which they are demised, then at the option of either Party this
Lease may be terminated effective as of the date of the taking and all Rent
reserved hereunder shall be paid to the date of such taking. The entire award
for any total or partial taking shall be paid to and retained by Landlord. If
any condemnation proceeding shall be instituted in which it is sought to take or
damage any part of the Project, or if the grade of any street or alley adjacent
to the Project is changed by any competent authority and such change of grade
makes it necessary or desirable to remodel the Project to conform to the changed
grade, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon not less than
ninety (90) days' notice prior to the date of termination designated in the
notice. No money or other consideration shall be payable by Landlord to Tenant
for said termination, and the Tenant shall have no right to share in the
condemnation award or in any judgment for damages caused by said eminent domain
proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to pursue
any award attributable to a taking of any of Tenant's personal property or
equipment if the pursuit by Tenant of any such award does not interfere with
Landlord's condemnation award or its pursuit thereof.
24. SPRINKLERS. If the sprinkler system installed at the Project or any of
its appliances shall be damaged or injured or not in proper working order by
reason of any act or omission of Tenant, Tenant's agents, servants, employees,
licensees or invitees, Tenant shall forthwith restore the same to good working
condition at its own expense. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done
upon the Premises, or bring or keep anything thereon which is in violation of
rules, regulations and requirements of any state, municipal or other authority
having jurisdiction over the Building, and if the Board of Fire Underwriters or
Fire Insurance Exchange or any bureau, department or official of the state or
city government, requires that any changes, modifications, alterations or
additional sprinkler heads or other equipment be made or supplied by reason of
Tenant's business or acts or the location of partitions, trade fixtures, or
other contents of the Premises, or if any such changes, modifications,
alterations, additional sprinkler heads or other equipment, become necessary
other than as a result of the Tenant Improvement Work performed pursuant to
Appendix D, to prevent the imposition of a penalty or charge against the full
allowance for a sprinkler system in the fire insurance rate as fixed by said
Exchange, or by any fire insurance company, Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense,
promptly make and supply such changes, modifications, alterations, additional
sprinkler heads or other equipment.
25. MISCELLANEOUS.

"re-entry" as used in this Lease are not restricted to their technical legal
meaning. The term "Landlord," as used in this Lease, means only the landlord
from time to time, and upon conveying or transferring its interest, such

----------------------
all of its provisions.

---------
Tenant does not constitute a reservation of or option for lease, and it is not
effective as a lease or otherwise until execution and delivery by both Landlord
and Tenant.

------------
shall not affect or impair any other provisions.
G. Governing Laws. This Lease shall be governed by and construed pursuant to

Lease, which modification will not bring about any increased cost or expense to
Tenant or in any other way substantially change the rights and obligations of
Tenant hereunder, Tenant agrees that this Lease may be so modified.
I. No Oral Modification. No subsequent alteration, amendment, change or
--------------------
addition to this Lease shall be binding upon Landlord or Tenant unless in
writing signed by both parties.
J. Litigation and Arbitration Costs. In the event of any litigation or
--------------------------------
arbitration between the parties hereto with respect to the enforcement or
interpretation of this Lease, the nonprevailing party shall pay the attorney's
fees, court costs and other costs of the prevailing party, provided that Tenant
shall notify Landlord of any alleged breach of Landlord's obligations under this
Lease and shall take no action with respect to such breach as long as Landlord
promptly commences to cure and diligently proceeds to complete the cure of said
breach within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof by Tenant or, with
respect to a default which cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days,
if Landlord immediately commences to cure and diligently proceeds to complete
the cure of such default within a reasonable time period, which shall in no
event extend beyond ninety (90) days after Landlord receives written notice of
such default. Each party hereto shall pay the attorney's fees, court costs (if
any) and other costs incurred by the other party
-19-
in any litigation, negotiation or transaction in which such party causes the
other party, without the other party's fault, to become involved or concerned
(including, without limitation, any request for Landlord's consent to a sublet
or assignment).

are not a part of this Lease and shall have no effect upon the construction or
interpretation of any part hereof.
L. Remedies and Rights may be Exercised by Landlord in its Own Name;

individually or in its name by any agent thereof. Landlord and Tenant each
represents to the other that each has full power and authority to execute this
Lease and to make and perform the agreements herein contained.

----------------------
prevent Landlord from paying for services rendered or materials delivered with
respect to the Project or to the Premises (including, without limitation,
management services and contracting out capital improvements or other capital
repairs or construction items) by affiliates of Landlord provided that the fees
or costs of such services and materials are at market rates in the Milwaukee
metropolitan area. All such fees or costs paid by Landlord to such affiliates
shall be deemed to constitute Operating Costs on the same terms and conditions
as if such fees and costs were paid to non-affiliates of Landlord.
N. Entire Agreement. This Lease (including, without limitation, any Rider
----------------
attached hereto and Appendix A through E, all of which are incorporated herein
by this reference) constitutes the entire agreement between the Landlord and the
Tenant. Tenant acknowledges that it has not been induced to enter this Lease by
any promises, assurances, agreements, statements or representations
(collectively "Representations") which are not set forth in this Lease
(including without limitation any Representations concerning Operating Costs or
Taxes). Tenant acknowledges that it has not relied on any such Representations,
agrees that no such Representations shall be used in the construction or
interpretation of this Lease and agrees that Landlord shall have no liability
for any consequences arising as a result of any such Representations.

meaning of the United States Internal Revenue Code or regulations issued
thereunder, and Tenant agrees that it will execute all documents or instruments
necessary to effect such amendment or amendments, provided that no such
amendment shall result in Tenant having to pay in the aggregate more money on
account of its occupancy of the Premises under the terms of this Lease, as so
amended, and provided further that no such amendment shall result in Tenant
receiving less services than it is presently entitled to receive under this

amendment shall materially interfere with any of Tenant's rights or benefits
under this Lease or Landlord's obligations under this Lease.

request it will enter into direct agreements with the managing agent of the
Project or other parties designated by Landlord for the furnishing of any such
services required to be furnished by Landlord hereunder, in form and content
approved by Landlord, provided however that no such contract shall result in
Tenant having to pay in the aggregate more money on account of its occupancy of
the Premises under the terms of this Lease, and provided further that no such
contract shall result in Tenant receiving less services than it is presently
entitled to receive under this Lease, or services of a lesser quality.

of this Lease and for no other purpose whatsoever, and in case of default
hereunder by such Landlord (or default through, under or by any of the agents,
servants, employees or representatives of such Landlord), Tenant shall look

no Landlord shall have any personal liability to pay any indebtedness accruing

31. OPTION TO EXTEND. Subject to Paragraph 31.B. and 31.C. below, the term of
this Lease may be extended, at the option of Tenant, for one additional period
of five (5) years (the "Renewal Term"). The Renewal Term shall be upon the same
terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease except for the amount of
Base Rent payable during the Renewal Term, and any reference in the Lease to the
"Term" or "term" of the Lease shall be deemed to include the Renewal Term and
apply thereto, unless it is expressly provided otherwise. Tenant shall have no
extension option beyond the aforesaid five (5) year extension option. Any
termination of this Lease during the initial term of this Lease shall terminate
all rights under this Paragraph.
A. The Base Rent during the Renewal Term for any space then constituting
a portion of the Premises shall be at a rate equal to the greater of: (i) the
Base Rent in effect on the day immediately preceding the commencement of the
Renewal Term, or (ii) the Market Rent. The term "Market Rent" shall mean the
rental rate and applicable adjustments (as reasonably determined by Landlord)
for new leases or lease renewals of comparably located and finished office
space, of a size similar to the Premises, in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin, area for
buildings of similar age and quality to the Building, including inducements and
allowances. Tenant's obligation to pay Operating Cost Share Rent and Tax Share
Rent pursuant to the Lease shall continue during the Renewal Term.
B. Such option to extend shall be exercised by Tenant delivering an
initial non-binding written notice to Landlord of its intent to exercise its
option to extend not less than twelve (12) full calendar months prior to the
first day of Renewal Term. Thereafter, and no later than eleven (11) full
calendar months prior to the first day of the Renewal Term, Landlord shall
calculate the Market Rent for the Premises, which calculation shall reflect the
Market Rent that would be payable per annum for a term commencing on the first
day of the Renewal Term, provided that such calculation shall be final and not
be recalculated at the actual commencement of the Renewal Term (if any). Tenant
shall give Landlord final binding written notice of the exercise of its option
to extend, if at all, no later than ten (10) full calendar months prior to the
expiration of the initial term.
C. Tenant's right to exercise its option to extend this Lease pursuant
to this Paragraph, is subject to the following conditions:
(1) That on the date Tenant delivers its final binding written
notice of its election to exercise its option to extend, Tenant is not in
default under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease, after the
expiration of any applicable notice and cure or grace periods, and
(2) That Tenant shall not have assigned the Lease or sublet
the Premises at any time during the period commencing with the date that Tenant
delivers its final binding written notice to Landlord of its exercise of such
option to extend and ending on the commencement date of the Renewal Term, or at
any time prior to such period, if such assignment or sublease extends into such
period.
D. If Tenant fails to give its initial non-binding written notice of
intent or its final binding written notice of exercise of its option to extend
when due as provided in this Paragraph, Tenant will be deemed to have waived
such option to extend.
