LEASE AGREEMENT

THIS LEASE AGREEMENT, made and entered into as of the 14^th day of September, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), by and between QUATTRO INVESTMENT GROUP, L.P., a Pennsylvania limited partnership (“Landlord”), with its principal office located at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, and ANSYS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Tenant”), with an address at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇.

WITNESSETH:

In consideration of the foregoing and of the representations, warranties, covenants and conditions set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Landlord and Tenant understand and agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

LEASED PREMISES

1.1 Demise. Commencing as of the Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined), Landlord hereby agrees to lease and demise to Tenant, and Tenant hereby agrees to take and hire from Landlord, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease, the exclusive use of all that certain building to be built by Landlord and containing approximately 186,000 rentable square feet (the “Building”), situated on certain real property located in ▇▇▇▇▇ Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania (the “Land”), located in the Southpointe business park (“the Office Park”), together with all adjoining exterior loading, drive areas and parking, all as indicated on the preliminary site plan (“Site Plan”) attached hereto as Exhibit A and made a part of this Lease (the “Leased Premises”); provided, such Site Plan is subject to reasonable modification and revision, and Landlord and Tenant agree to finalize such Site Plan within sixty (60) days of the Effective Date. The Building and the Land on which it is to be situated, as described on Exhibit B to this Lease, are hereinafter collectively called the “Property.” Landlord reserves the uses of all portions of the Building beyond the interior surfaces of the walls, floor and ceiling of the Leased Premises, including without limitation the right therein to install, maintain, use, repair and replace pipes, ducts, conduits and wires in locations which will not materially interfere with Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises.

Landlord shall cause the rentable areas of the Building to be determined in accordance with the standards set forth in ANSI Z65.1-1996, as promulgated by the Building Owners and Managers Association (“BOMA Standard”). On or before the Possession Date, Landlord’s Architect shall provide Tenant written notice of the final field measurements of the Building. Tenant shall have the right, at its expense, exercisable within thirty (30) days after the Possession Date, to have its architect remeasure the rentable square feet of the Building (and Tenant will afford Landlord’s architect the opportunity to be present at the time of remeasurement) and to submit such remeasurement to Landlord. If Tenant disputes Landlord’s measurement, it shall give notice to Landlord to such effect within such thirty (30)-day period, which notice shall set forth Tenant’s calculation of rentable square feet. Tenant’s failure to give such notice within such thirty (30)-day period shall constitute a waiver of its rights under this Section. If Tenant gives such notice,

then Landlord’s Architect (as defined in the Work Letter) and Tenant’s Architect (as defined in the Work Letter) shall promptly meet in an effort to resolve such dispute and, if they cannot do so within fifteen (15) days, they shall designate a third independent architectural firm which shall review the disputed measurements, conduct a remeasurement (if such firm deems such remeasurement necessary) and make a final, binding determination of the measurement. The fees and expenses of such third architect shall be shared equally by the parties. If such agreed upon remeasurement of the Building results in a measurement that is less than 183,000 rentable square feet, any payments due to Landlord from Tenant based upon the rentable square footage of the Building, including, without limitation payments of Rent or Additional Rent, shall be proportionally reduced to reflect the agreed upon number of rentable square feet. All determinations and redeterminations of rentable square feet made pursuant to this Section shall be in accordance with the BOMA Standard.

1.2 Landlord Improvements. Landlord shall, at is sole cost and expense, construct the Building and perform the work identified and/or defined as Landlord’s Work in the work letter attached hereto as Exhibit C and made a part of this Lease (the “Work Letter”). Upon Substantial Completion (as defined in the Work Letter) of Landlord’s Work and the Tenant Improvements (as hereinafter defined), Landlord shall notify Tenant in writing of such Substantial Completion as provided in the Work Letter and deliver possession of the Leased Premises to Tenant (the “Possession Date”). Subject to Force Majeure Delays and Tenant Delays, the Possession Date shall occur no later than October 1, 2014 (the “Target Possession Date”); provided, if Landlord, does not deliver possession of the Leased Premises to Tenant by the Target Possession Date as a result of any reason other than a Tenant Delay or Force Majeure Delay (as those terms are defined in the Work Letter), Tenant’s Rent (as hereinafter defined) shall be abated for a period of three (3) days for each day of such delay after the Target Possession Date without any extension of the Lease Term; provided, further, if the Possession Date has not occurred by December 1, 2014, as a result of any reason other than a Tenant Delay or Force Majeure Delay, (i) Tenant shall have the right to complete Landlord’s Work and the Tenant Improvements and offset the reasonable cost to perform Landlord’s Work against the first installments of Rent due hereunder and thereafter until Tenant’s costs have been recaptured, and (ii) Tenant’s Rent shall be abated for a period of six (6) days for each day of delay (to the extent caused by a Landlord Delay and not caused by a Tenant Delay or Force Majeure Delay) after December 1, 2014, without any extension of the Lease Term.

1.3 Tenant Improvements. On or before the Possession Date, Landlord shall Substantially Complete construction of the leasehold improvements within the Leased Premises identified and/or defined as Tenant Improvements in the Work Letter, using third-party contractors selected by Landlord following requests and submissions of written bids. The Tenant Improvements shall be constructed in accordance with the terms of the Work Letter.

ARTICLE II

LEASE TERM

2.1 Lease Term. The term of this Lease shall commence on the Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined) and shall expire one hundred eighty three (183) months thereafter, or, if

the Commencement Date shall be other than the first (1st) day of a calendar month, such number of full calendar months after the Commencement Date (subject in either case to any extension as may be set forth in this Lease) (such term, as the same may from time to time be renewed or extended, shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Lease Term”).

2.2 Commencement Date. The “Commencement Date” shall mean the Possession Date. Landlord acknowledges that Tenant may perform a phased move-in to the Leased Premises over a six (6) to ten (10) week period following the Commencement Date; provided, Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any Annual Base Rent prior to the Rent Commencement Date (as hereinafter defined) regardless of when Tenant shall have occupied a majority of the Leased Premises for the purposes of conducting its business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent (as hereinafter defined) all Operating Costs (as hereinafter defined) and the cost of all utilities serving the Leased Premises from the later of (a) the Possession Date or (b) October 1, 2014, until the Rent Commencement Date, following which Tenant shall pay to Landlord any amounts required hereunder, including, without limitation, the Annual Base Rent as set forth in Section 3.1 herein. At such time as the Commencement Date shall have been established, the parties shall enter into an agreement confirming the same.

2.3 Tenant’s Termination Right. Subject to the terms set forth below, Tenant shall have the right to terminate the Lease if:

(a) Landlord shall not have secured financing for the construction of Landlord’s Work within two hundred seventy (270) days following the Effective Date and Landlord has delivered to Tenant evidence of the same that is reasonably acceptable to Tenant; or

(b) Landlord shall not have secured from applicable governmental authorities all approvals required for the commencement of Landlord’s Work within two hundred seventy (270) days following the Effective Date.

Subject to Force Majeure Delays and Tenant Delays, to the extent either (a) or (b) are not secured by each of the respective dates specified above, then Tenant will have the right and option, but no obligation, to terminate this Lease upon providing written notice to Landlord (herein a “Tenant Termination Notice”). To be effective, any such Termination Notice must be given within thirty (30) days following the applicable date set forth above. If the applicable condition(s) are not satisfied within ten (10) days following the receipt by Landlord of any such Tenant Termination Notice, then this Lease will terminate effective as the last day of such ten (10) day period. In the event of any such termination, neither party shall have any further liability hereunder, except as expressly set forth in this Section 2.3. If the applicable condition is satisfied before the expiration of that ten (10) day notice period, then the right to terminate with respect to the non-satisfaction of such condition shall be void and of no further force or effect.

2.4 Landlord’s Contingency. Subject to the terms set forth below, Landlord shall have the right to terminate the Lease if Landlord shall not have secured an option to purchase the Land from the Washington County Authority (the “Purchase Option”) on or before October 31, 2012. In the event of any such termination, neither party shall have any further liability hereunder.

ARTICLE III

RENT

3.1 Base Rent. “Annual Base Rent” shall be calculated based on the product of the rentable square footage of the Leased Premises as stated in Section 1.1 of this Lease multiplied by the rental rate set forth in the table below.


Lease Years	Rental Rate/RSF		Annual Base Rent		Monthly Installment
1 – 5	$	23.00	$	4,278,000.00	$	356,500.00
6 – 10	$	24.00	$	4,464,000.00	$	372,000.00
11 – 15	$	25.00	$	4,650,000.00	$	387,500.00

On or before the Rent Commencement Date, to the extent the actual measurement of the Building results in a measurement that is less than 183,000 rentable square feet, the Annual Base Rent set forth in the above table shall be proportionately reduced to account for the actual rentable square footage of the Leased Premises as determined in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 1.1 herein, but in no event shall the Annual Base Rent be based upon a rentable square footage in excess of 186,000 rentable square feet.

“Aggregate Base Rent” for the Leased Premises for the Lease Term (exclusive of any renewals or extensions thereof, but subject to an adjustment of such amount if the Commencement Date shall be other than the first day of a calendar month as provided in Section 2.1 of this Lease) shall be Sixty Six Million Nine Hundred Sixty Thousand U.S. Dollars ($66,960,000.00). On or before the Rent Commencement Date, to the extent the actual measurement of the Building results in a measurement that is less than 183,000 rentable square feet the amount of the Aggregate Base Rent shall be proportionately reduced to account for the actual rentable square footage of the Leased Premises as determined in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 1.1 herein. Tenant shall pay to Landlord during the Lease Term Annual Base Rent in accordance with the above table, payable in equal monthly installments (also set forth in the table above), in advance, beginning on the Rent Commencement Date and continuing on the first (1^st) day of each calendar month thereafter during the Lease Term; provided however, that the monthly installment of Annual Base Rent for the first full calendar month of the Lease Term shall be payable upon the execution of this Lease and Landlord shall credit such payment toward Tenant’s first monthly installment of Annual Base Rent payable hereunder. As used herein, the “Rent Commencement Date” is the later of (i) three (3) months following the Possession Date, or (ii) January 1, 2015; provided, however, that Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent as of the Rent Commencement Date shall at all times be subject to any abatement of Rent required by Section 1.2 herein. Promptly following the Commencement Date, Landlord and Tenant shall execute a letter documenting the Commencement Date, the Rent Commencement Date and certain other factual matters pertaining to this Lease in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D. If the Rent Commencement Date shall be other than the first (1^st) day of a calendar month, then the prorated monthly installment of Annual Base Rent for such partial calendar month shall be paid directly by Tenant from its other sources on the Rent Commencement Date and not from the monthly installment of

Annual Base Rent referred to above. Except as expressly provided otherwise, Aggregate Base Rent, Annual Base Rent and the monthly installments of Annual Base Rent shall be collectively referred to as “Rent” throughout this Lease.

Tenant acknowledges that Landlord does not invoice for Annual Base Rent, and Tenant agrees to timely pay all Rent without any statement, invoice, or reminder from Landlord. For this purpose, Tenant agrees to establish an automatic debit arrangement in order to electronically pay all installments of Annual Base Rent on or before the due date. Tenant shall provide written bank confirmation of such debit arrangement upon request by Landlord.

3.2 Payment of Increase in Real Estate Taxes. (a) Except as otherwise set forth in Section 3.3(a) below, from and after the later of (i) the Possession Date or (ii) October 1, 2014, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, the amount, if any, by which Real Estate Taxes (as hereinafter defined) with respect to any calendar year in whole or in part within the Lease Term shall exceed $1.50 per rentable square foot of the Leased Premises (the “Real Estate Tax Stop”) (such excess amounts hereinafter called the “Increase in Real Estate Taxes”) incurred during the Lease Term. Tenant shall make payments with respect to Increases in Real Estate Taxes within twenty (20) days after Landlord’s delivery of a statement to Tenant relating to such Increase in Real Estate Taxes. If any Real Estate Taxes shall relate to periods both within and outside the Lease Term, then the Real Estate Taxes shall be prorated accordingly.

(b) “Real Estate Taxes” shall include all taxes and assessments of public authorities and governmental bodies, whether general or special, ordinary or extraordinary, which shall or may be assessed, levied, charged or imposed upon the Property or against Landlord as owner thereof or otherwise, including any assessments for public improvements or otherwise, any excise taxes, gross receipts taxes, business privilege taxes, sales taxes or other taxes, fees or charges, however described and whether or not now in the contemplation of the parties, which may be levied or assessed by the United States of America, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, or any political subdivision, public corporation, district, authority or other political body or entity against Landlord or the Property or the rents, issues or profits thereof or the use or occupancy of the Property, all payments in lieu of any such taxes, assessments, fees or charges, and shall also include any other taxes, assessments, fees and charges that may be levied, assessed, charged or made in substitution in whole or in part for any other Real Estate Taxes. Real Estate Taxes shall also include reasonable legal and other fees, costs and disbursements incurred in connection with any proceedings or negotiations to contest, determine or reduce any Real Estate Taxes. Real Estate Taxes shall not include realty transfer, inheritance, estate or capital stock taxes or net income taxes measured by the net income of Landlord from all sources, except to the extent that, in any such case, such tax shall be levied or assessed in substitution in whole or in part for any other Real Estate Taxes then existing. Real Estate Taxes shall be payable based on the fiscal year of the governmental body or authority imposing such Real Estate Taxes. Real Estate Taxes payable in the calendar years in which the Lease Term shall commence or expire shall be prorated by taking into account the portion of such calendar year within the Lease Term. If the Property shall not be separately assessed for such purposes, then Landlord shall be entitled, in such manner as Landlord may reasonably and in good faith determine, to allocate the Real Estate Taxes between the Property and other portions of the real property which are the subject of the Real Estate Taxes.

3.3 Payment of Increase in Operating Costs. (a) Except as otherwise set forth below, from and after the later of (i) the Possession Date or (ii) October 1, 2014, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, the amount, if any, by which Operating Costs (as hereinafter defined) with respect to any calendar year in whole or in part within the Lease Term shall exceed $4.50 per rentable square foot of the Leased Premises (the “Operating Cost Stop”) (such excess amounts hereinafter called “Increase in Operating Costs”). Tenant shall make payments with respect to Increase in Operating Costs within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s delivery of a statement to Tenant relating to any such Increase in Operating Costs. If any Operating Costs shall relate to periods both within and outside the Lease Term, then the Operating Costs shall be prorated accordingly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the later of (1) the Possession Date or (2) October 1, 2014, and continuing until the date when (y) Real Estate Taxes with respect to any calendar year in whole or in part within the Lease Term equal or exceed the Real Estate Tax Stop, and (z) Operating Expenses with respect to any calendar year in whole or in part within the Lease Term equal or exceed the Operating Cost Stop, Tenant agrees to pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, the amount, if any, by which Real Estate Taxes and Operating Costs with respect to any calendar year in whole or in part within the Lease Term collectively exceed $6.00 per rentable square foot of the Leased Premises (such excess amounts hereinafter called the “Increase in Expenses”) incurred during the Lease Term. Tenant shall make payments with respect to Increase in Expenses within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s delivery of a statement to Tenant relating to any such Increase in Expenses.

(b) “Operating Costs”, subject to the exclusions set forth in subsection (c) below, shall include all costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the maintenance, repair, replacement, management, security, operation and ownership of the Property, including, without limitation, and by way of example (i) all costs of snow and ice removal, striping, sweeping, sealing, repairing and replacing all driveways, parking areas, curbing, sidewalks and other portions of the Property; (ii) all costs of maintenance, repair and replacement of exterior lighting facilities and equipment, and all costs of supplying bulbs and ballasts (material only) for interior light fixtures; (iii) all costs of lawn and garden maintenance, including cutting, trimming, planting and replacement of lawns, shrubbery and other vegetation; (iv) the costs and charges for all utility and other services furnished to the Leased Premises and other portions of the Property, including without limitation water and sewage (provided that, Operating Costs shall not include the cost of utilities separately metered to measure Tenant’s usage thereof (i.e. electricity)); (v) all costs of trash and rubbish removal; (vi) all costs of pest control and extermination; (vii) all costs of maintaining and inspecting fire extinguishers, smoke and fire detectors, which are furnished by Landlord; (viii) all costs of maintaining, repairing and cleaning the exterior side of the perimeter windows; (ix) all costs of Property supplies, (x) all wages, salaries and other labor costs, including taxes, insurance and benefits, of employees of Landlord and its affiliates directly involved in the maintenance and management of the Property, including all costs of maintenance and field management; (xi) the cost of insurance which Landlord may carry from time to time with respect to the Property or any portion thereof or any activities thereon or related thereto, including, without limitation, casualty, liability and property damage, business interruption, rent

loss and other insurance, provided that such insurance is commercially reasonable and consistent with standard practices for class A office buildings in the commercial real estate industry in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania region; and (xii) all charges allocated to the Property and payable pursuant to any covenants, easements or restrictions now or hereafter encumbering the Property or payable to any association of owners of property which now or hereafter includes the Property, including without limitation, all costs and charges payable pursuant to the terms of those certain Declaration of Covenants, Easements, Conditions, and Restrictions Governing the Office Park, as the same may be amended from time to time (all such covenants, easements and restrictions hereinafter collectively called the “Covenants”).

(d) “Operating Costs” shall not include the following items:

(i) Capital expenditures, including, without limitation, any capital replacement, capital repair or capital improvement made to the Building or the Land and any other expense which would be deemed to be a capital expenditure under generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied (collectively, “Capital Expenditures”). Additionally, replacement of an item or of a major component of an item and major repairs to such items in lieu of replacement shall each be considered a Capital Expenditure if the original item or a subsequent improvement to such item was, or could have been, capitalized. For purposes of this subsection (i), a group of Capital Expenditures related to the same capital project shall be considered a single Capital Expenditure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Capital Expenditures of $10,000.00 or less may be included in Operating Costs;

(ii) Depreciation or amortization of the Building or its contents or components;

(iii) Expenses for the preparation of space or other work which Landlord performs for any tenant or prospective tenant of the Building;

Any deficiency or excess in payments made by Tenant with respect to such Operating Cost calendar year shall be paid by or refunded to Tenant, as applicable, within thirty (30) days after Landlord shall have sent to Tenant an itemized statement setting forth the actual amount of such Operating Costs payable by Tenant.

3.4 Monthly Installments. (a) Landlord will require Tenant to pay monthly installments of the Increase in Expenses, Increase in Real Estate Taxes or Increase in Operating Costs, as applicable. Such monthly installments shall be equal to Landlord’s estimate from time to time of one-twelfth (1/12) of annual Increase in Expenses, Increase in Real Estate Taxes or Increase in Operating Costs, as applicable, provided that if Landlord shall at any time or from time to time estimate that the (i) Increase in Expenses, or (ii) Increase in Real Estate Taxes or Increase in Operating Costs, or both, may exceed the monthly installments paid or to be paid on account thereof, Landlord shall be entitled, by notice to Tenant, to increase the amount of such monthly installments to such amount as Landlord shall determine to allow Landlord to pay (y) Increase in Expenses, or (z) Increase in Real Estate Taxes or Increase in Operating Costs, or both, when due from such installments paid by Tenant. It is understood that any such increased amount required to be paid by Tenant may include a lump sum payment to account for the deficiency of any prior monthly estimated payments by reason of such revised estimate. Monthly installments of the Increase in Expenses, Increase in Real Estate Taxes or Increase in Operating Costs, as applicable, shall be paid with each monthly installment of Annual Base Rent.

(b) Within ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar year during the Lease Term, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to Tenant an itemized statement setting forth the actual amount of Real Estate Taxes and Operating Costs, as applicable, for said

calendar year, as compared to the estimated payments made by Tenant during the course of said year. If the actual amount of Increase in Expenses, Increase in Real Estate Taxes or Increase in Operating Costs, as applicable, for said calendar year shall be greater than the estimated amounts paid by Tenant with respect thereto, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such excess within thirty (30) days after demand as Additional Rent. If the actual amount of Increase in Expenses, Increase in Real Estate Taxes or Increase in Operating Costs, as applicable, for said calendar year shall be less than the estimated amounts paid by Tenant, Landlord shall credit such excess against the next required payments of the Increase in Expenses, Increase in Real Estate Taxes or Increase in Operating Costs, as applicable, due prospectively (or, if at the end of the Lease Term, Landlord shall reimburse such amount to Tenant, subject to any claims that Landlord may have against Tenant). Landlord’s failure to deliver any statement of Real Estate Taxes or Operating Costs on a timely basis with respect to any calendar year shall not prejudice Landlord’s right to thereafter render such a statement with respect to such calendar year or any subsequent calendar year, nor shall the rendering of any such statement prejudice Landlord’s right to thereafter deliver a corrected statement for that calendar year; provided, that Tenant will not be responsible for any portion of Real Estate Taxes or Operating Expenses for which Landlord has not presented Tenant with a statement within two (2) years following the calendar year during which such Real Estate Taxes or Operating Expenses were incurred.

3.5 Right to Audit. Tenant shall have the right to dispute any such statement submitted by Landlord to Tenant relating to the payment of the Increase in Expenses, Increase in Real Estate Taxes or Increase in Operating Costs, as applicable, including the accuracy thereof and the method of calculating the same, but only if (a) within twelve (12) months after Tenant’s receipt of such statement, Tenant shall have notified Landlord in writing of the nature of the dispute, specifying the particular respects in which the statement is claimed to be incorrect, and (b) Tenant shall have paid the statement so in dispute. In such event, Tenant shall have the right, at its own expense, to inspect and/or audit Landlord’s books and records with respect to the statement in question for a period of twelve (12) months commencing ten (10) days after Tenant’s delivery of such notice to Landlord. Such inspection or audit shall be conducted, upon reasonable prior notice, at Landlord’s office at a time reasonably convenient to Landlord and Tenant during normal business hours. All costs and expenses of the audit shall be paid by Tenant unless the audit shows that Landlord overstated Operating Expenses or Real Estate Taxes for the subject calendar year by more than five percent (5%), in which case Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for all costs and expenses of the audit within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s demand for the same; provided, Landlord’s reimbursement obligation hereunder shall be limited to the costs and expenses of an audit conducted by an independent, certified public accountant paid on an hourly basis and not for the costs and expenses of any services provided on a contingency fee basis. Each statement given by Landlord in connection with this Lease shall be conclusive and binding upon Tenant unless Tenant shall have strictly and timely complied with the foregoing conditions, without any extension of such time period which may otherwise be permitted by any other terms of this Lease.

3.6 Proration and Payment of Rent. If the Rent Commencement Date shall be other than the first (1st) day of a calendar month, then the Annual Base Rent for the calendar month in which the Rent Commencement Date shall occur shall be prorated based on the portion

of such calendar month contained within the Lease Term. All Rent and Additional Rent shall be payable to Landlord in U.S. Dollars at the address of Landlord set forth in this Lease (or at such other address as may be designated by Landlord by notice to Tenant). All Rent and Additional Rent shall be payable without any abatement, set-off or deduction, except as may be expressly authorized by the other terms of this Lease. The covenants of Tenant to pay Rent, Additional Rent or any other sum under this Lease and to perform all other obligations under this Lease are deemed to be independent of any term, covenant, warranty, representation or other undertaking of Landlord under this Lease or otherwise.

3.7 Late Payment. In the event that any Rent or Additional Rent shall remain unpaid after the date when such payment shall have become due (irrespective of any grace period which may be set forth elsewhere in this Lease as a condition to the occurrence of a default hereunder), Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, a late fee of five-percent (5%) of the amount so due, which amount the parties agree is a reasonable charge for the additional administrative costs required of Landlord by reason of such late payment; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, no such late fee shall be imposed in any calendar year unless Tenant shall have failed to make two (2) payments of Rent or Additional Rent on or before the date when due during such calendar year.

3.8 Security Deposit. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

18.5 CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT FOR POSSESSION. UPON EACH AND EVERY BREACH OR TENANT DEFAULT HEREUNDER, TENANT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AUTHORIZES AND EMPOWERS ANY ATTORNEY AT ANY COURT OF RECORD WITHIN THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, TO APPEAR FOR TENANT AND CONFESS JUDGMENT FORTHWITH AGAINST TENANT AND IN FAVOR OF LANDLORD IN EJECTMENT FOR THE LEASED PREMISES AND THE IMMEDIATE ISSUING OF A WRIT OF POSSESSION FOR THE LEASED PREMISES PURSUANT TO WHICH LANDLORD MAY WITHOUT NOTICE RE-ENTER AND EXPEL TENANT AND ANY PERSON HOLDING UNDER TENANT FROM THE LEASED PREMISES. NO SINGLE EXERCISE OF THE FOREGOING WARRANT OR POWER TO CONFESS JUDGMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO EXHAUST THE POWER, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH EXERCISE SHOULD BE HELD BY ANY COURT TO BE INVALID, VOIDABLE OR VOID, AND THE POWER SHALL CONTINUE UNDIMINISHED AND MAY BE EXERCISED FROM TIME TO TIME AS LANDLORD SHALL ELECT, AND, IN EACH CASE, THIS LEASE OR A TRUE COPY THEREOF SHALL BE A SUFFICIENT WARRANT OF ANY PERSON.

18.6 Cumulative Remedies. The rights and remedies of Landlord hereunder shall be cumulative and not exclusive, and Landlord shall not be put to any election of remedies. The rights and remedies of Landlord hereunder are in addition to and not in derogation of the rights and remedies otherwise available to Landlord by law or in equity or otherwise.

18.7 Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants, conditions and agreements of Tenant contained in this Lease shall survive the termination or expiration of the Lease Term, and Landlord shall have and enjoy all rights and remedies with respect thereto notwithstanding such expiration or termination. In addition, such representations, warranties, covenants, conditions and agreements and Landlord’s rights and remedies with respect thereto shall survive Tenant’s surrender and/or vacation of the Leased Premises, whether or not the same may be accepted by Landlord, and whether or not Landlord may thereafter re-let the Leased Premises.

18.8 Landlord’s Default; Tenant’s Remedies. In the event of any failure by Landlord to perform any maintenance obligation of Landlord set forth in Section 5.2 of this Lease (a “Landlord Default”) within thirty (30) days after the date on which Landlord receives from Tenant written notice specifically describing such failure, Tenant may cure such default by Landlord on behalf of, and at the sole cost and expense of, Landlord. Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for its reasonable, documented, out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s delivery to Landlord of an invoice therefor, failing which Tenant may offset such costs and expenses against any Rent and other amounts payable by Tenant hereunder. The foregoing notwithstanding, if Landlord shall exercise in good faith diligent efforts within such thirty (30) day period to attempt to cure the failure specified in the notice but shall not be able to do so because of Force Majeure Delays, then any such failure shall not be considered a default of this Lease by Landlord so long as Landlord shall continue to exercise in good faith such diligent efforts to cure such failure and shall do so within a reasonable period of time, not to exceed ninety (90) days.

ARTICLE XIX

WAIVER

19.1 Waiver. The waiver by either Landlord or Tenant of any breach of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease to be performed by the other shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent breach of this Lease nor shall any waiver authorize the nonobservance of any other occurrence of the same or of any other covenant or condition thereof, nor shall the acceptance of rent by the Landlord at any time when the Tenant is in default under any covenant or condition hereby be construed as a waiver of any such default. To be effective, a waiver of any such breach or default hereunder must be in writing signed by the party to be charged with such waiver.

ARTICLE XX

CONDEMNATION

20.1 Condemnation. In the event that the Leased Premises or the Property, or such portion thereof as shall prevent, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, the reasonable use of the Leased Premises by Tenant, shall be taken or condemned for any public or quasi-pubic use or purpose by a competent authority in expropriation proceedings, or by any right of eminent domain, or conveyed to such competent authority in lieu of such taking or condemnation, then this Lease shall terminate as of the date title vests pursuant to such taking or conveyance. The entire compensation or award attributable to any taking or condemnation of the Property or any portion thereof, or the consideration for such conveyance, shall belong to Landlord without any deduction therefrom for any present or future estate or other right of Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all its right, title and interest in and to any such award. Tenant shall, however, be entitled to such award as may be allowed for moving expenses, fixtures and other equipment installed by it and any other compensation allowed under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, but only if such award or other compensation shall be in addition to the award otherwise available to or for the benefit of Landlord. If Tenant’s business is not so materially and substantially curtailed by the taking then this Lease shall continue as to that portion of the Leased Premises remaining after the taking with the Rent being reduced pro-rata for the square footage of the Leased Premises taken.

ARTICLE XXI

HOLDING OVER BY TENANT

33.1 Holding Over. (a) If Tenant shall hold over at the expiration or termination of the Lease Term, such tenancy shall be deemed, at Landlord’s option elected in writing by Landlord at any time during such period, a month-to-month tenancy or such other tenancy as shall be assumed by law in the event of such holding over, and in the absence of such written election by Landlord, shall either be a tenancy at the sufferance of Landlord or a trespass by Tenant. During such month-to-month tenancy or tenancy at sufferance, Tenant agrees to be bound by all the terms and conditions hereof and agrees to pay to Landlord, in addition to all other Rent, an Annual Base Rent in the amount of one and one-half times (150%) the Annual Base Rent which shall have been in effect for the last month of the Lease Term prior to such expiration or termination, the parties agreeing that such sum shall be deemed a reasonable sum for such tenancy; provided, however, nothing herein shall limit any damages Landlord may incur for Tenant’s trespass, damage to the Property, loss of replacement lessees or otherwise, and Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any loss, cost, expense or liability associated with such holding over.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon not less than six (6) months prior written notice to Landlord, Tenant may be permitted to hold over for a period not to exceed three (3) months following the expiration of the Lease Term or any extension thereof (the “Permitted Holdover Period”). During such Permitted Holdover Period, Tenant agrees to be bound by all the terms and conditions hereof and agrees to pay to Landlord, in addition to all other Rent, an Annual Base Rent in the amount of the Annual Base Rent which shall have been in effect for the last month of the Lease Term prior to such expiration or termination. During any Permitted Holdover Period, Tenant shall not be liable for any damages Landlord may incur.

ARTICLE XXXIV

EXTENSION OPTIONS

34.1 Extension Options. Tenant is hereby granted the following options to extend the Lease Term (each an “Extension Option”) with respect to the Leased Premises, in “as-is” condition: two (2) consecutive additional periods of five (5) years, and one (1) additional period ending on the date that is 359 months after the Effective Date (each an “Extension Term”), on the following terms and conditions:

(a) Tenant shall exercise an Extension Option (i) with respect to all of the Building, and (ii) on an entire floor-by-floor basis with respect to the Additional Building if Tenant has leased any space in the Additional Building in accordance with Section 36.1 herein.

(b) Tenant may not exercise any Extension Option unless, on the date when such option is exercised, (i) this Lease is in full force and effect, and (ii) no Tenant Default, and no event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a Tenant Default has occurred and is continuing.

(c) Tenant shall exercise an Extension Option by giving Landlord non-revocable notice to such effect not less than eighteen (18) months prior to the first day of such Extension Term (each an “Extension Notice”). The failure to give such notice by such date shall constitute a waiver by Tenant of any right to extend the Lease Term.

(d) The provisions of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect during any Extension Term except that (i) the Lease Term will be extended by the period of such Extension Term, (ii) the Aggregate Base Rent for the Extension Term shall be equal to the Fair Market Rental Value (as hereinafter defined), and (iii) if such Extension Option is the final Extension Option, Tenant shall have no further right to renew the Term.

(e) As used herein, “Fair Market Rental Value” means the fair market annual rental value per rentable square foot of the Leased Premises at the commencement of the Extension Term for a term equal to the Extension Term, in an amount that a willing, comparable tenant at market would pay and a willing, comparable landlord of a comparable office building located in the surrounding market area would accept at arm’s length, giving appropriate consideration to tenant improvements, brokerage commissions and other applicable terms and conditions of the tenancy in question.

(f) If Tenant delivers an Extension Notice in accordance with subsection (c) above, Tenant and Landlord shall negotiate in good faith to determine and mutually agree upon the Fair Market Rental Value for the applicable Extension Term. If Landlord and Tenant agree upon the Fair Market Rental Value for the applicable Extension Term, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease evidencing the Fair Market Rental Value for such Extension Term. If

Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the Fair Market Rental Value for any Extension Term, on or before fifteen (15) months prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term, or, to the extent applicable, any Extension Term (the “Negotiation Period”), then Landlord and Tenant shall each simultaneously present to the other party their final determinations of the Fair Market Rental Value for the applicable Extension Term (the “Final Offers”) within five (5) days after the last day of the Negotiation Period. If the Fair Market Rental Value as determined by the lower of the two (2) proposed Final Offers is not more than ten percent (10%) below the higher, then the Fair Market Rental Value shall be determined by averaging the two (2) Final Offers. If the difference between the lower of the two (2) proposed Final Offers is more than ten percent (10%) below the higher, then the Fair Market Rental Rate shall be determined by Baseball Arbitration (as hereinafter defined) in accordance with the procedure set forth below.

(g) For all purposes of this Lease, “Baseball Arbitration” shall follow the following procedures:

(i) If there is a discrepancy greater than 10%, within thirty (30) days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s Final Offer, Tenant and Landlord shall each select an arbitrator (“Tenant’s Arbitrator” and “Landlord’s Arbitrator”, respectively) who shall be a qualified and impartial person licensed in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania as an MAI appraiser with at least five (5) years of experience in appraising the type of matters for which they are called on to appraise hereunder in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania metropolitan area.

(ii) Landlord’s Arbitrator and Tenant’s Arbitrator shall name a third arbitrator, similarly qualified, within ten (10) days after the appointment of Landlord’s Arbitrator and Tenant’s Arbitrator.

(iii) Said third arbitrator shall, after due consideration of the factors to be taken into account under the definition of Fair Market Rental Value set forth above and hearing whatever evidence the arbitrator deems appropriate from Landlord, Tenant and others, and obtaining any other information the arbitrator deems necessary, in good faith, make its own determination of the Fair Market Rental Value for the Premises as of the commencement of the applicable Extension Term (the “Arbitrator’s Initial Determination”) and thereafter select either Landlord’s Final Offer or the Tenant’s Final Offer, but no other, whichever is closest to the Arbitrator’s Initial Determination (the “Final Determination”), such determination to be made within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the third arbitrator. The Arbitrator’s Initial Determination, Final Determination and the market information upon which such determinations are based shall be in writing and counterparts thereof shall be delivered to Landlord and Tenant within said thirty (30) day period. The arbitrator shall have no right or ability to determine the Fair Market Rental Value in any other manner. The Final Determination shall be binding upon the parties hereto.

(iv) The costs and fees of the third arbitrator shall be paid by Landlord if the Final Determination shall be Tenant’s Final Offer or by Tenant if the Final Determination shall be Landlord’s Final Offer.

(v) If Tenant fails to appoint Tenant’s Arbitrator in the manner and within the time specified in subsection (i) above, then the Fair Market Rental Value for the applicable Extension Term shall be the Fair Market Rental Value contained in the Landlord’s Final Offer. If Landlord fails to appoint Landlord’s Arbitrator in the manner and within the time specified in subsection (1) above, then the Fair Market Rental Value for the applicable Extension Term shall be the Fair Market Rental Value contained in the Tenant’s Final Offer. If Tenant’s Arbitrator and Landlord’s Arbitrator fail to appoint the third arbitrator within the time and in the manner prescribed in herein, then Landlord and Tenant shall jointly and promptly apply to the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, office of the American Arbitration Association for the appointment of the third arbitrator.

ARTICLE XXXV

TERMINATION OPTION

35.1 Termination Option. So long as there is no Tenant Default existing under this Lease and no event or condition has occurred and is continuing which with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a Tenant Default hereunder, Tenant shall have the one-time right to terminate this Lease (the “Termination Option”) effective upon the last day of the tenth (10^th) full year following the Rent Commencement Date (anticipated to be December 31, 2025) (the “Effective Termination Date”), by providing Landlord with at least eighteen (18) months’ (anticipated to be July 1, 2024) prior written notice of the same; provided, Tenant’s right to terminate this Lease as set forth in this Section 35.1 shall be null and void upon Tenant’s exercise of the Expansion Option (as hereinafter defined) set forth in Section 36.1 below. Upon the Effective Termination Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a “Termination Fee” equal to the unamortized cost of the Allowance, brokerage fees, and free rent for the period between the Possession Date and the Rent Commencement Date (utilizing an interest rate of eight percent (8%)), plus an additional sum in the amount of $761,000.00.

ARTICLE XXXVI

EXPANSION OPTION

36.1 Expansion Option. (a) Landlord, or an affiliate, shall construct a building containing a minimum of 186,000 rentable square feet (the “Additional Building”) identified as Building #2 on the parcel adjacent to the Land on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof. Landlord will use its commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to construct the Additional Building simultaneously with the construction of the Leased Premises; provided, that the failure to construct the Additional Building simultaneously with the Building shall not constitute a default hereunder. The exterior, façade and parking of the Additional Building will be consistent with those included at the Leased Premises. Provided no Tenant Default then exists, and provided no event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a Tenant Default has occurred and is continuing, Tenant shall have the one-time right to expand the Leased Premises to include up to 130,000 rentable square feet, but not less than 65,000 rentable square feet of space in the Additional Building (the “Expansion Option”) effective upon the first day of the eleventh (11^th) full year following the Rent Commencement

Date (anticipated to be January 1, 2026) (the “Expansion Effective Date”), by providing Landlord with at least eighteen (18) months’ (anticipated to be July 1, 2024) prior written notice of the same (the “Expansion Notice”); provided, Tenant’s right to expand the Leased Premises as set forth in this Section 36.1 shall be null and void upon Tenant’s exercise of the Termination Option set forth in Section 35.1 above. Additionally, Tenant’s failure to give such Expansion Notice by the date set forth herein shall constitute a waiver by Tenant of any right to expand the Leased Premises.

(b) If Tenant delivers an Expansion Notice in accordance with the terms set forth in subsection (a) above, Tenant and Landlord shall negotiate in good faith to determine and mutually agree upon the Fair Market Rental Value for the space in the Additional Building. If Landlord and Tenant agree upon the Fair Market Rental Value for the space in the Additional Building, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease expanding the Leased Premises and evidencing the Fair Market Rental Value of the space in the Additional Building. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the Fair Market Rental Value for the space in the Additional Building, on or before fifteen (15) months prior to the Expansion Effective Date (the “Expansion Negotiation Period”), then Landlord and Tenant shall each simultaneously present to the other party their final determinations of the Fair Market Rental Value for the space in the Additional Building (the “Expansion Final Offers”) within five (5) days after the last day of the Expansion Negotiation Period. If the Fair Market Rental Value for the space in the Additional Building as determined by the lower of the two (2) proposed Expansion Final Offers is not more than ten percent (10%) below the higher, then the Fair Market Rental Value shall be determined by averaging the two (2) Expansion Final Offers. If the difference between the lower of the two (2) proposed Expansion Final Offers is more than ten percent (10%) below the higher, then the Fair Market Rental Rate for the space in the Additional Building shall be determined by Baseball Arbitration in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 34.1(g) herein.

ARTICLE XXXVII

PROPERTY MANAGER

37.1 Property Manager. In the event the property manager for the Leased Premises (the “Property Manager”) fails to perform its duties in a regular, professional and prudent manner, consistent with the performance of other professional managers of Class A office buildings within the Pittsburgh market and Tenant is not reasonably satisfied with the performance of the Property Manager, Tenant shall provide written notice of such failure to Landlord. Such notice shall contain, with specificity, a description of the failures of the property manager. Following such notice, Landlord and Tenant shall meet with the Property Manager to attempt to resolve any issues in good faith. If, despite such good faith efforts, such failures are not remedied in a reasonable manner within thirty (30) days of such notice, the property management services for the Leased Premises shall be competitively bid to two (2) mutually agreeable, qualified property managers and a new property manager shall be selected by the Landlord, with the approval of the Tenant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
