CONSENT OF LANDLORD TO SUBLEASE

Exhibit 10.2

This Consent of Landlord to Sublease (this "Consent") is made effective as of June 4, 2015 (the "Effective Date"), by and between ▇▇▇▇ STATE BANK & TRUST, a North Dakota state bank ("Tenant"), and TWIN CITIES POWER HOLDINGS', LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company ("Subtenant"), and IRET-▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company ("Landlord").

A. Landlord and Tenant are parties to a certain lease agreement dated October 31, 2013 (the "Master Lease"). Pursuant to the Master Lease, Tenant is leasing Suite 475, comprised of approximately 8,003 rentable square feet (as more specifically identified in the Master Lease, the "Premises"), in the building known as the "Golden Hills Office Center," and located at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (the "Property").

B. Tenant desires to sublease all of Tenant's interest in and to the Master Lease, relating to all of the approximately 8,003 rentable square feet of the Premises (the "Sublet Space") to Subtenant, and Subtenant desires to sublease the Sublet Space from Tenant. The sublease between Tenant and Subtenant is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (the "Sublease").

C. Landlord desires to consent to the Sublease, contingent upon the terms and conditions of this Consent being satisfied by Tenant and Subtenant.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the Recitals set forth above, which are deemed a material and substantive part of this Consent, the parties agree as follows:

1. The Recitals set forth above are incorporated herein and shall be deemed terms and provisions hereof.

2. Subject to the terms, conditions, and agreements contained herein, Landlord hereby consents to the Subtenant's sublease of the Sublet Space from the Tenant.

3. Landlord shall not be bound by any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of the Sublease. This Consent is only Landlord's consent to the act of subletting by Tenant to Subtenant. Nothing in this Consent shall be construed as a consent to, or approval or satisfaction by Landlord of, any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of the Sublease.

4. Landlord reserves all of its rights under the Master Lease. The Sublease shall not enlarge or increase any of Landlord's obligations under the Master Lease. The Sublease is at all times subject and subordinate to the Master Lease, and to all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions, and conditions of the Master Lease and this Consent. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of (i) either the Master Lease or this Consent and (ii) the Sublease, then the provisions of the Master Lease or this Consent shall prevail unaffected by the provisions of the Sublease.

5. This Consent shall not be deemed to release or relieve Tenant from any of its liabilities and obligations under the Master Lease for the full term thereof, regardless of whether rental payments to Landlord are directly made by Subtenant or continue to be made by Tenant. If at any time there is an uncured default by Tenant under the Master Lease, Landlord may require any rental or other payments being made under the Sublease to be paid directly to Landlord as a credit against the rentals otherwise due from Tenant under the Master Lease.

6. Subtenant shall not do or permit anything to be done in connection with Subtenant's occupancy of the Sublet Space that would violate any of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions, and conditions of the Master Lease or this Consent. Any act or omission of Subtenant (or anyone claiming under or through Subtenant) that violates any of the provisions of the Master Lease shall be deemed a violation of the Master Lease by Tenant.

7. Subtenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord in each instance, which consent may be withheld or conditioned by Landlord in its sole discretion: (i) assign the Sublease or this Consent, or further sublet the Sublet Space or any part thereof; or (ii) hereafter sublet, take by assignment, or otherwise occupy any space in the Property other than the Sublet Space. Subtenant agrees that Tenant may assign its interest in the Sublease to Landlord without the consent of Subtenant.

8. The Sublease is subject and subordinate to the mortgage currently in place on the Property, and to any future mortgage placed on the Property by Landlord. Subtenant shall execute and deliver an instrument, in recordable form, as reasonably required by Landlord or its mortgagee ("Lender"), within 10 calendar days of Landlord's written request. Any such instrument shall contain any provisions reasonably required by Lender, including without limitation provisions whereby Subtenant agrees that Lender shall not be: (i) liable for any act or omission of Landlord or Tenant; (ii) liable for return of any security deposit, unless and only to the extent that Lender actually receives such security deposit; (iii) subject to any offsets or defenses which the Subtenant might have against Landlord or Tenant (provided the foregoing shall not relieve Lender from any obligation of the landlord under the Master Lease accruing or arising after Lender's succeeding to the interest of Landlord under the Master Lease); (iv) bound by any rent or additional rent which the Subtenant might have paid in advance for more than the current month; or (v) bound by any representation or warranty made by Landlord or Tenant. Any such instrument shall provide for Lender's recognition of the Sublease and agreement not to disturb Subtenant so long as Subtenant is not in default under the Sublease. Subtenant shall execute and deliver an estoppel certificate, in form reasonably required by Landlord, within 10 calendar days of Landlord's written request, certifying (if such be the case or if not the case, specifying with particularity any exception) to the following: (i) that the Sublease is in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications that the Sublease as modified is in full force and effect and stating the modifications); (ii) the dates to which the rent and other charges have been paid; (iii) that Tenant is not in default in any provision of the Sublease or, if in default, the nature thereof specified in detail; (iv) the amount of monthly rental currently payable by Subtenant; (v) the amount of any prepaid rent; (vi) the commencement and termination dates of the Sublease; and (vii) to such other matters as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, Lender, or any prospective purchaser of the Property.

9. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Master Lease, or the surrender of the Master Lease by Tenant to Landlord, the Sublease and the term and estate thereby granted shall automatically expire and come to an end as of the effective date of such expiration, termination or surrender, and Subtenant shall vacate the Sublet Space on or before such date. In case of the failure of Subtenant to so vacate, Landlord shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies which are available to a landlord against a tenant holding over after the expiration of a term, in addition to any rights and remedies which are available to Landlord pursuant to the Master Lease.

10. Tenant and Subtenant jointly and severally represent, warrant, and agree that: (i) Subtenant is financially responsible, of good reputation, and engaged in a business which is in keeping with the first-class standards of the Property and its occupancy; (ii) no compensation or consideration of any kind other than as set forth in the Sublease has been, or will be, paid by Subtenant to Tenant in connection with the Sublease; (iii) the Sublet Space (subject to all of the covenants, agreements, terms, provisions, and conditions of the Lease) shall be used by Subtenant in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations solely for general office purposes; and (iv) the Sublease shall not be modified or amended in any way without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be withheld or conditioned in Landlord's sole but reasonable discretion.

11. The consent of Landlord to this Sublease shall in no way be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining the express written consent of Landlord to any future subleasing or assignment.

12. All notices required or desired to be given to Subtenant hereunder or under the Master Lease shall be addressed to Subtenant at the respective address set forth in the Sublease. All notices required or desired to be given to Landlord or Tenant hereunder shall be addressed to Landlord and Tenant at the addresses set forth in the Master Lease.

13. Tenant and Subtenant agree that Landlord is not responsible for the payment of any brokerage commissions, or finder's fees or similar charges of any nature in connection with this transaction and they each jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claims liability, losses or expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Landlord in connection with any claims for a commission by any broker or agent in connection with this transaction.

14. This Consent shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Minnesota. Each capitalized term, word, or phrase not defined in this Consent shall have the meaning set forth for such term in the Master Lease. This Consent has been duly executed and delivered by each respective party, and constitutes the valid and binding obligations of each party, enforceable in accordance with its terms. Each party has all necessary authority, has taken all action necessary to enter into this Consent and to consummate the transaction contemplated hereby, and to perform its obligations hereunder. This Consent shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, and their legal and personal representatives, successors, and assigns.

15. This Consent may be executed in counterparts and all counterparts shall collectively constitute a single agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Consent to be properly executed, as of the Effective Date.

The rentable area of the Premises is the rentable area specified in the Basic Terms. if Landlord determines in its sole but reasonable discretion that the rentable area of the Premises differs from the rentable area specified in the Basic Terms, then Landlord and Tenant shall amend this Lease accordingly; provided, however, that any such amendment will operate prospectively only. Landlord and Tenant will not make any retroactive adjustments to Rent payments on account of any difference between the rentable area of the Premises specified in the Basic Terms and the rentable area of the Premises as may be determined after the Effective Date.

1.2. Term, Possession, Delivery, and Commencement.

1.2.1. Commencement and Expiration of Term. The Term of this Lease is the period stated in Item 2 of the Basic Terms. The Term shall commence on the Commencement Date and shall end on the last day of the last calendar month of the Term.

1.2.2. Tender of Possession; Early Access.

Tenant will not occupy the Premises before the Commencement Date without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent Landlord may grant, withhold or condition in its sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord hereby allows Tenant access to the Premises beginning on February 17, 2014. During this early access period, Tenant may only install its furniture, fixtures and equipment in the Premises, Tenant shall not interfere with the construction of the Tenant Improvements, and Tenant shall comply with and observe all terms and conditions of this Lease (other than Tenant's obligation to pay Rent). Tenant shall not have exclusive access to, or control of, the Premises during the early access period.

1.2.3. Termination Option. Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease (the "Early Termination Option") effective as of May 31, 2017 (the 'Early Termination Date"), by giving Landlord prior written notice ("Tenant's Early Termination Notice") on or before August 31, 2016, provided that: (1) on or before the Early Termination Date, Tenant has paid Landlord all amounts due and owing under the Lease; and (2) Tenant pays to Landlord concurrently with Tenant's Early Termination Notice a termination fee equal to (a) $24,009.00 (2 months of Basic Rent), plus (b) 2 months of Tenant's Share of Expenses for the Premises (based on Landlord's reasonable estimate of such Expenses), and plus (c) the unamortized portion of the Landlord's leasing costs (including without limitation all leasing commission charges, the Abated Rent, and the Allowance), based on amortizing such costs with interest thereon at the rate of 6% per annum, in equal installments of interest and principal over the last 36 months of the initial Term.

Tenant will pay all other Additional Rent described in this Lease that is not estimated under Article 3 within 10 days after receiving Landlord's invoice for such Additional Rent. Tenant will make all Additional Rent payments to the same location and, except as set forth in the preceding sentence, in the same manner as Tenant's payments of Basic Rent.

2.3. Delinquent Rental Payments. If Tenant does not pay any installment of Basic Rent or any Additional Rent within 5 Business Days after the date the payment is due, then Tenant will pay Landlord an additional amount equal to the greater of (a) interest on the delinquent payment calculated at the Maximum Rate from the date when the payment is due through the date the payment is made, or (b) a late payment charge equal to 5% of the amount of the delinquent payment. Landlord's right to such compensation for any such delinquency is in addition to all of Landlord's rights and remedies under this Lease, at law or in equity.

The parties agree that the value of the Abated Rent shall be $59,082.15.

ARTICLE 3

PROPERTY TAXES AND OPERATING EXPENSES

3.1. Payment of Expenses. Tenant will pay, as Additional Rent and in the manner this Article 3 describes, Tenant's Share of Expenses due and payable during any calendar year of the Term. Landlord will prorate Tenant's Share of Expenses due and payable during the calendar year in which the Lease commences or terminates as of the Commencement Date or termination date, as applicable, on a per diem basis based on the number of days of the Term within such calendar year.

3.2. Estimation of Tenant's Share of Expenses. Landlord will deliver to Tenant a written estimate of the following for each calendar year of the Term: (a) Property Taxes, (b) Operating Expenses, (c) Tenant's Share of Expenses Percentage and (d) the annual and monthly Additional Rent attributable to Tenant's Share of Expenses.

3.3. Payment of Estimated Tenant's Share of Expenses. Tenant will pay the amount Landlord estimates as Tenant's Share of Expenses under Section 3.2 for each calendar year of the Term in equal monthly installments, in advance, on the first day of each month during such calendar year. If Landlord has not delivered the estimates to Tenant by the first day of January of the applicable calendar year, then Tenant will continue paying Tenant's Share of Expenses based on Landlord's estimates for the previous calendar year. When Tenant receives Landlord's estimates for the current calendar year, Tenant will pay the estimated amount (less amounts Tenant paid to Landlord in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence) in equal monthly installments over the balance of such calendar year, with the number of installments being equal to the number of full calendar months remaining in such calendar year.

3.4. Re-Estimation of Expenses. Landlord may re-estimate Expenses from time to time during the Term. In such event, Landlord will re-estimate the monthly Additional Rent attributable to Tenant's Share of Expenses to an amount sufficient for Tenant to pay the re-estimated monthly amount over the balance of the calendar year. Landlord will notify Tenant of the re-estimate and Tenant will pay the re-estimated amount in the manner provided in the last sentence of Section 3.3.

3.5. Confirmation of Tenant's Share of Expenses. After the end of each calendar year within the Term, Landlord will determine the actual amount of Expenses and Tenant's Share of Expenses for the expired calendar year and deliver to Tenant a written statement of such amounts. if Tenant paid less than the actual amount of Tenant's Share of Expenses specified in the statement, Tenant will pay the difference to Landlord as Additional Rent in the manner Section 2.2 describes. If Tenant paid more than the actual amount of Tenant's Share of Expenses specified in the statement, then Landlord (at Landlord's option) will either (a) refund the excess amount to Tenant, or (b) credit the excess amount against Tenant's next due monthly installment or installments of estimated Additional Rent. If Landlord is delayed in delivering such statement to Tenant, such delay does not constitute Landlord's waiver of Landlord's rights under this Section or release Tenant from any of its obligations hereunder. Tenant acknowledges that, for purposes of accounting for Expenses, Landlord may close a "calendar" year on December 20th of that year; if Landlord actually does so, then Landlord's determination of the actual amount of Expenses for the following calendar year will include any Expenses attributable to the period of December 21⁵' through December 31'¹ of the previous calendar year.

3.6. Tenant's Inspection and Audit Rights. If (i) Tenant is not in default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease beyond any applicable cure period, and if (ii) Tenant disputes Landlord's determination of the actual amount of Expenses or Tenant's Share of Expenses for any calendar year, and if (iii) Tenant delivers to Landlord written notice of the dispute within 60 days after Landlord's delivery of the statement of such amount under Section 3.5, then Tenant at Tenant's sole cost and expense, upon prior written notice and during regular business hours at the location where Landlord or its Property Manager maintains the applicable records may cause a qualified financial officer reasonably acceptable to Landlord to audit Landlord's records relating to the disputed amounts. Tenant's objection to Landlord's determination of Expenses or Tenant's Share of Expenses shall be deemed withdrawn unless Tenant completes and delivers the audit to Landlord within 90 days after the date Tenant delivers its dispute notice to Landlord under this Section. If the audit shows that the amount Landlord charged Tenant for Tenant's Share of Expenses was greater than the amount this Article 3 obligates Tenant to pay, then, unless Landlord reasonably contests the audit, Landlord will refund the excess amount to Tenant within 10 days after Landlord receives a copy of the audit report. If the audit shows that the amount Landlord charged Tenant for Tenant's Share of Expenses was less than the amount this Article 3 obligates Tenant to pay, then Tenant will pay to Landlord within 10 days as Additional Rent the difference between the amount Tenant paid and the amount determined in the audit. Pending resolution of any audit under this Section, Tenant will continue to pay to Landlord the estimated amounts of Tenant's Share of Expenses in accordance with Sections 3.3 and 3.4. Tenant must keep all information it obtains in any audit strictly confidential and may only use such information for the limited purpose this section describes and for Tenant's own account.

3.7. Annual Amendment to Tenant's Share of Expenses Percentage. Notwithstanding any contrary language in this Lease, Landlord may change Tenant's Share of Expenses Percentage each calendar year to the percentage Landlord calculates by dividing the rentable area of the Premises by the rentable area of the Building for such calendar year. Storage space shall not be included in Landlord's calculation of the rentable area of the Building. Landlord will notify Tenant of such change, if any, at the time Landlord delivers its estimates to Tenant under Section 3.2.

3.8. Landlord's Right to Contest Property Taxes. Landlord may in its sole discretion contest the amount or validity, in whole or in part, of any Property Taxes. Landlord may include in its computation of Property Taxes the costs and expenses Landlord incurred in connection with any such contest (including but not limited to reasonable attorney's fees). Tenant may not contest Property Taxes.

3.9. Adjustment for Variable Operating Expenses. Notwithstanding any contrary language in this Article 3, if 95% or more of the rentable area of the Building is not occupied at all times during any calendar year pursuant to leases under which the terms have commenced for such calendar year, then Landlord may reasonably and equitably adjust its computation of Operating Expenses for that calendar year to obligate Tenant to pay all components of Operating Expenses that vary based on occupancy in an amount equal to the amount Tenant would have paid for such components of Operating Expenses had 95% of the rentable area of the Building been occupied at all times during such calendar year pursuant to leases under which the terms have commenced for such calendar year. Landlord will equitably adjust Operating Expenses to account for any Operating Expense any tenant of the Building pays directly to a service provider.

Tenant shall reimburse Landlord as Additional Rent for all costs incurred by Landlord in making any changes or additions to the Entry Sign that Tenant requests.

4.5.3.

Tenant will not connect any device or equipment to the Building's electrical or plumbing systems except through the electrical and water outlets in the Premises that were installed (or otherwise approved in writing) by Landlord.

ARTICLE 5

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

5.1. Compliance with Hazardous Materials Laws. Tenant will not cause or allow any Hazardous Material to be brought upon, kept or used on the Property in quantities reportable under any Hazardous Materials Law, or in a manner or for a purpose prohibited by or that could result in liability under any Hazardous Materials Law. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, will comply with all Hazardous Materials Laws and prudent industry practice relating to the presence, treatment, storage, transportation, disposal, release or management of Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about the Property required for Tenant's use of the Premises and will notify Landlord of any and all Hazardous Materials Tenant brings upon, keeps or uses on the Property (other than small quantities of those Hazardous Materials customarily used in the course of general office activities, such as copier fluids and cleaning supplies, provided that Tenant complies with all Hazardous Materials Laws with respect thereto). On or before the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, will completely remove from the Property (regardless whether any Hazardous Materials Law requires removal), in compliance with all Hazardous Materials Laws, all Hazardous Materials Tenant causes or allows to be present in, on, under or about the Property. Tenant will not take any remedial action in response to the presence of any Hazardous Materials in on, under or about the Property, nor enter into any settlement agreement, consent decree or other compromise with respect to any Claims relating to or in any way connected with Hazardous Materials in, on, under or about the Property, without first notifying Landlord of Tenant's intention to do so and affording Landlord reasonable opportunity to investigate, appear, intervene and otherwise assert and protect Landlord's interest in the Property.

Tenant will also deliver to Landlord, as promptly as possible and in any event within 5 Business Days after Tenant first receives or sends the same, copies of all Claims, reports, complaints, notices, warnings or asserted violations relating in any way to the Premises or Tenant's use of the Premises. Upon Landlord's written request, Tenant will promptly deliver to Landlord documentation reasonably acceptable to Landlord reflecting the legal and proper disposal of all Hazardous Materials removed or to be removed from the Premises. All such documentation will list Tenant or its agent as a responsible party and will not attribute responsibility for any such Hazardous Materials to Landlord or Property Manager.

5.3. Disclosure and Warning Obligations. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that all reporting and warning obligations required under Hazardous Materials Laws resulting from or in any way relating to Tenant's use of the Premises or the Property are Tenant's sole responsibility, regardless of whether the Hazardous Materials Laws permit or require Landlord to report or warn.

5.4. Landlord Indemnification. Landlord shall release, indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to both Landlord and Tenant), protect, and hold harmless Tenant from and against all damages (excluding consequential, punitive or similar type damages), costs, losses, expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and engineering fees) arising from or attributable to the existence of any Hazardous Materials at the Property in reportable quantities in violation of applicable Hazardous Materials Laws to the extent caused by Landlord; provided, however, in case any claim, action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against Tenant and such matter is subject to Landlord's indemnification as provided above, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of the same in time to avoid any prejudice to Landlord and Landlord shall have the right to assume and control the defense thereof with counsel of its own selection, and Landlord shall have the right to control any remediation.

ARTICLE 6
SERVICES

6.1. Landlord's Obligations. Landlord will provide the following services, the costs of which are Operating Expenses:

6.1.1. Janitorial Service. Landlord will provide janitorial service in the Premises, in accordance with Landlord's schedule for the Building, including: (a) cleaning and trash removal; (b) dusting and vacuuming; (c) maintaining towels, tissue and other restroom supplies; (d) periodic interior and exterior window washing and cleaning; (e) periodic waxing of uncarpeted floors; and (f) such other work as is customarily performed in connection with nightly janitorial services in buildings similar in construction, location, use and occupancy to the Building.

6.1.2. Electrical Energy; Lighting. Landlord will provide electrical energy to the Premises for lighting and for operating office machines for general office use. Said electrical energy will not be sufficient for lighting in excess of 2.2 ▇▇▇▇▇ per square foot installed or for any electrical equipment that singularly consumes more than 1.0 kilowatts per hour at rated capacity or requires a voltage other than 120 volts single phase. Tenant will not use any equipment requiring electrical energy in excess of the above standards without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent Landlord will not unreasonably withhold but may condition on Tenant paying all costs of installing the equipment and facilities necessary to furnish such excess energy, plus an amount equal to the average cost per unit of electricity for the Building applied to the excess use (as reasonably determined either by an engineer selected by Landlord or by submeter installed by Landlord at Tenant's sole cost). Landlord will replace all lighting bulbs, tubes, ballasts and starters within the Premises; if such lighting costs are not included in Operating Expenses, then Tenant will pay such costs as Additional Rent.

6.1.3. Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning. During regular business hours, Landlord will provide heating, ventilation and air conditioning to the Premises sufficient to maintain, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, comfortable temperatures in the Premises. During other times, Landlord will provide heat and air conditioning upon Tenant's reasonable advance notice; provided, however, that Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional Rent, for such extended service on an hourly basis at the prevailing rates reasonably established by Landlord. Landlord will provide air conditioning to the Premises based on standard lighting and general office use only.

6.1.4. Water. Landlord will provide hot and cold water from standard building outlets for restroom and drinking purposes.

6.1.5. Elevator Service. Landlord will provide elevator service to be used by Tenant in common with other tenants. Landlord may restrict Tenant's use of elevators for freight purposes to hours Landlord reasonably determines. Landlord may limit the operation of elevators at times other than regular business hours.

6.2. Tenant's Obligations. If any utility serving the Premises is separately metered and separately charged, and if the applicable utility company directly charges Tenant for such utility services, then Tenant is solely responsible for paying such charges directly to the applicable utility companies prior to delinquency, and such charges are not Operating Expenses. Except as specifically provided in Sections 6.1, Tenant will obtain and pay for all other utilities and services Tenant requires with respect to the Premises, including but not limited to utility hook-up and connection charges. In the event a service is provided to the Premises and to some but not all of the remainder of the Building, then Tenant shall pay its pro rata share of the cost of providing the service (including Landlord's administrative and overhead costs) as Additional Rent; Tenant's pro rata share shall be computed by dividing the rentable area of the Premises by the total rentable area of the portion of the Building to which the service is provided.

6.3. Other Provisions Relating to Services. Landlord is not required to provide any heat, air conditioning, electricity or other service in excess of that required by governmental guidelines or other Laws. Landlord reserves the sole and exclusive right to select the provider of any utility or service to the Property, and to determine whether the Premises or any other portion of the Property may or will be separately metered or separately supplied, Landlord reserves the right, from time to time, to make reasonable and non-discriminatory modifications to the above standards for utilities and services. No interruption in or temporary stoppage of any of the utilities or other services this Article 6 describes is to be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use and possession of the Premises, nor does any such interruption or stoppage relieve Tenant from any obligation this Lease describes, render Landlord liable for damages, or entitle Tenant to any abatement of Rent; provided, however, that if any such interruption or temporary stoppage is primarily caused by a negligent act or omission of Landlord and continues for more than 5 consecutive Business Days, then Rent hereunder shall ▇▇▇▇▇ until such interruption or temporary stoppage either ceases or is no longer primarily caused by a negligent act or omission of Landlord.

ARTICLE 7

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

7.1. Landlord's Obligations. Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, Landlord will repair and maintain the following in good order, condition and repair (including any necessary replacements): (a) the roof, footings, foundation, and the structural integrity of exterior and interior load-bearing walls of the Building; (b) the electrical, mechanical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems located in the Building and serving the Common Area (or otherwise serving and used in common by multiple tenants of the Building); (c) the Common Area; and (d) the portions of the electrical, mechanical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems and components that only serve the Premises. The costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in complying with subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 7.1 shall be included in Operating Expenses. All of the costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in complying with subsection (d) of this Section 7.1 shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord as Additional Rent.

7.2. Tenant's Obligations.

7.2.1. Maintenance of Premises. Landlord is not required to repair or maintain the Premises or the Property (or to make any Alterations to the Premises or Property), except as otherwise specifically provided in this Lease. Except as specifically set forth in Section 7.1, Tenant is solely responsible for the repair, maintenance, replacement, operation, condition and management of the Premises. Except as specifically set forth in Section 7.1, Tenant at its sole cost and expense will keep and maintain the Premises (including without limitation all non-structural interior portions; lighting systems; interior surfaces of exterior walls; and interior moldings, partitions, glass, doors and ceilings) in good order, condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear and damage from insured casualties excepted. Tenant's repairs will be at least equal in quality and workmanship to the original work and Tenant will make the repairs in accordance with all Laws. Tenant will keep the Premises in a neat and sanitary condition and will not commit any nuisance or waste in, on or about the Premises or the Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant shall at its sole cost maintain and repair any systems or equipment installed by Tenant; Landlord is not required to repair or maintain any systems or equipment installed by Tenant. Tenant shall release, indemnify, protect and defend Landlord against (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord), and hold Landlord harmless from, any Claims or damages resulting from any penetrations or perforations of the roof or exterior walls of the Building caused or allowed by Tenant.

7.2.2. Alterations Required by Laws. If any governmental authority requires any Alteration to the Building or the Premises as a result of Tenant's particular use of the Premises, or as a result of any Alteration to the Premises made by or on behalf of Tenant, or if Tenant's particular use of the Premises subjects Landlord or the Property to any obligation under any Laws, then Tenant will pay the cost of all such Alterations or the cost of compliance, as the case may be. If any such Alterations are Structural Alterations, then Landlord will make the Structural Alterations; provided, however, that Landlord may require Tenant to deposit with Landlord an amount sufficient to pay the cost of the Structural Alterations (including, without limitation, reasonable overhead and administrative costs). If the Alterations are not Structural Alterations, Tenant will make the Alterations at Tenants sole cost and expense in accordance with Article 8.

ARTICLE 8

CHANGES AND ALTERATIONS

8.1. Landlord Approval. Tenant will not make any Structural Alterations to the Premises or any Alterations to the Common Area. Tenant will not make any other Alterations without Landlord's prior written consent, which consent Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold; provided, however, that Landlord may condition its consent in its reasonable discretion. Along with any request for Landlord's consent, Tenant will deliver to Landlord complete plans and specifications for the Alterations, and will identify any prospective contractors for the Alterations. If Landlord approves the proposed Alterations, Tenant, before commencing the Alterations or delivering (or accepting delivery of) any materials to be used in connection with the Alterations, will deliver to Landlord for Landlord's reasonable approval proof of insurance required by Section 8.2, copies of all necessary permits and licenses, and such other information relating to the Alterations as Landlord reasonably requests. Tenant will not commence the Alterations before Landlord, in Landlord's reasonable discretion, approves the foregoing deliveries. Tenant will construct all approved Alterations or cause all approved Alterations to be constructed (a) promptly by a licensed and properly bonded contractor, (b) in a good and workmanlike manner, (c) in compliance with all Laws, (d) in accordance with all orders, rules and regulations of the Board of Fire Underwriters having jurisdiction over the Premises and any other body exercising similar functions, and (e) in full compliance with all of Landlord's rules and regulations applicable to third party contractors, subcontractors and suppliers performing work at the Property.

8.2. Tenant's Responsibility for Cost and Insurance. Tenant will pay the cost and expense of all Alterations, and for any painting, restoring or repairing of the Premises or the Property the Alterations occasion. Prior to commencing the Alterations, Tenant will deliver the following to Landlord in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Landlord: (a) payment, performance and demolition (if applicable) bonds; and (b) evidence that Tenant and each of Tenant's contractors have in force liability insurance insuring against construction related risks, in at least the form, amounts and coverages required of Tenant under Article 10. The insurance policies described in the preceding sentence shall name Landlord and Property Manager (and, if requested by Landlord, Landlord's lender) as additional insureds.

8.3. Construction Obligations and Ownership. Landlord may inspect construction of the Alterations. Immediately after completing the Alterations, Tenant will furnish Landlord with contractor affidavits, full and final notarized lien waivers and receipted bills covering all labor and materials expended and used in connection with the Alterations. Tenant will remove any Alterations Tenant constructs in violation of this Article 8 within 10 days after Landlord's written request and in any event prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. All Alterations Tenant makes or installs (including all telephone, computer and other wiring and cabling located within the walls of and outside the Premises, but excluding Tenant's movable trade fixtures, furniture and equipment) become the property of Landlord upon installation and, unless Landlord requires Tenant to remove the Alterations (which removal requirement may be exercised by Landlord at the time Landlord consents to such Alterations, or at the termination of the Lease), Tenant will surrender the Alterations to Landlord upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease at no cost to Landlord.

8.4. Liens. Tenant will keep the Property free from any mechanics', materialmens', designers' or other liens arising out of any work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or for Tenant or any person or entity claiming by, through or under Tenant. Tenant will notify Landlord in writing at least 30 days prior to commencing any Alterations in order to provide Landlord the opportunity to record and post notices of non-responsibility or such other protective notices available to Landlord under the Laws. If any such liens are filed and Tenant, within 15 days after such filing, does not release the same of record or provide Landlord with a bond or other surety satisfactory to Landlord protecting Landlord and the Property against such liens, Landlord may, without waiving its rights and remedies based upon such breach by Tenant and without releasing Tenant from any obligation under this Lease, cause such liens to be released by any means Landlord reasonably deems proper, including, but not limited to, paying the claim giving rise to the lien or posting security to cause the discharge of the lien. In such event, Tenant will reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent, for all amounts Landlord pays (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs).

8.5. Indemnification. To the fullest extent allowable under the Laws, Tenant will release, indemnify, protect, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord) and hold harmless the Landlord Parties and the Property from and against any Claims in any manner relating to or arising out of any Alterations or any other work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by or for Tenant or any person or entity claiming by, through or under Tenant.

ARTICLE 9

RIGHTS RESERVED BY LANDLORD

9.1. Landlord's Entry. Landlord and its authorized representatives may at all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to Tenant enter the Premises to: (a) inspect the Premises; (b) exercise and perform Landlord's rights and obligations under this Lease; (c) post notices of non-responsibility or other protective notices available under the Laws; (d) show the Premises to current or prospective mortgagees, or to prospective purchasers of the Property; or (e) during the last 12 months of the Term, show the Premises to prospective tenants. Landlord, in the event of any emergency, may enter the Premises at any time without notice to Tenant. If Landlord receives prior written notification from Tenant that specified areas within the Premises contain confidential materials, then Landlord shall not enter such portions of the Premises unless accompanied by a representative of Tenant except (i) in case of an emergency, or (ii) if Tenant authorizes Landlord to enter such portions of the Premises without accompaniment of Tenant's representative. Landlord's entry into the Premises is not to be construed as a forcible or unlawful entry into, or detainer of, the Premises or as an eviction of Tenant from all or any part of the Premises. Subject to Section 9.3 below, Tenant will also permit Landlord (or its designees) to erect, install, use, maintain, replace and repair pipes, cables, conduits, plumbing and vents, and telephone, electric and other wires or other items, in, to and through the Premises if Landlord reasonably determines that such activities are necessary for properly operating and maintaining the Building.

9.2. Control of Property. Landlord reserves all rights respecting the Property and Premises not specifically granted to Tenant under this Lease, including, without limitation, the right to: (a) change the name or street address of the Building; (b) designate and approve all types of signs, window coverings, internal lighting and other aspects of the Premises and its contents that may be visible from the exterior of the Premises; (c) grant any party the exclusive right to conduct any business or render any service in the Building, provided such exclusive right does not prohibit Tenant from using the Premises for the Permitted Use; (d) close the Building after regular business hours, except that Tenant and its employees and invitees may access the Premises after regular business hours in accordance with such rules and regulations as Landlord may reasonably prescribe from time to time for security purposes; (e) install, operate and maintain security systems that monitor persons entering or leaving the Building; (f) install and maintain pipes, ducts, conduits, wires and structural elements in the Premises that serve other parts or other tenants of the Building; (g) change the regular business hours of the Property; and (h) retain and receive master keys or pass keys to the Premises and all doors in the Premises.

9.3. Interference with Tenant's Business. With respect to any provision of this Lease which entitles or requires Landlord to make improvements, alterations or repairs to the Premises, the Building or the Common Area, Landlord agrees that such work shall not materially interfere with Tenant's use and enjoyment of the Premises for the Permitted Use. Landlord shall endeavor, when reasonably possible, to perform any such work so as to minimize disruption to Tenant's business.

ARTICLE 10

INSURANCE AND LIABILITY

10.1. Tenant's Insurance Obligations. Tenant, at all times during the Term and during any early occupancy period, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, will maintain the insurance this Section 10.1 describes.

10.1.1. Liability Insurance. Tenant shall maintain commercial general liability insurance (providing coverage at least as broad as the current ISO commercial general liability form) with respect to the Premises and Tenants activities in the Premises and upon and about the Property, on an "occurrence" basis, with minimum limits of $1,000,000 each occurrence and $3,000,000 general aggregate. Such insurance must include the following specific coverage provisions or endorsements: (a) broad form contractual liability insurance insuring Tenant's obligations under this Lease, (b) naming Landlord and Property Manager as additional insureds by an "Additional Insured - Managers or Lessors of Premises" endorsement (or equivalent coverage or endorsement); (c) waiving the insurer's subrogation rights against all Landlord Parties: (d) agreeing to deliver notice to Landlord in accordance with policy provisions if any such insurance is cancelled prior to the expiration date thereof; and (e) to the extent allowed by Tenant's policy, expressly endorsing Landlord as a cancellation notice recipient. Tenant shall provide Landlord with at least 3 Business Days prior written notice of cancellation or material reduction of the insurance required by this Section 10.1.1. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant's liability insurance will be provided on a primary and non-contributory basis. If Tenant provides such liability insurance under a blanket policy, the insurance must be made specifically applicable to the Premises and this Lease on a "per location" basis.

10.1.2. Other Insurance. Tenant shall maintain property insurance (providing coverage at least as broad as the current ISO Special Form) for (a) Tenant's furniture, equipment, fixtures, and other personal property, (b) systems or equipment installed by Tenant during the Term, and (c) alterations, improvements and changes to the Premises completed by Tenant at Tenant's expense. Tenant shall also maintain such other insurance as may be required by any Laws (including without limitation any necessary worker's compensation insurance), or as may reasonably be required by Landlord from time to time. If insurance obligations generally required of tenants in similar space in similar buildings in the area in which the Property is located increase or otherwise change, then Landlord may likewise increase or otherwise change Tenant's insurance obligations under this Lease.

10.1.3. Miscellaneous Insurance Provisions. All of Tenant's insurance will be written by companies rated at least "Best A-VII" and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant will deliver evidence of insurance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, (a) on or before the Commencement Date (and prior to any earlier occupancy by Tenant), (b) not later than 10 Business Days prior to the expiration of any current policy or certificate, and (c) at such other times as Landlord may reasonably request. If Landlord allows Tenant to provide evidence of liability insurance by certificate, then Tenant will deliver an ▇▇▇▇▇ Form 25 certificate and will attach or cause to be attached to the certificate copies of any endorsements this Section 10.1 requires. Tenant's insurance must permit releases of liability and provide for waiver of subrogation as provided in Section 10.3. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord's establishment of minimum insurance requirements is not a representation by Landlord that such limits are sufficient and does not limit Tenant's liability under this Lease in any manner.

10.1.4. Tenant's Failure to Insure. Notwithstanding any contrary language in this Lease and any notice and cure rights this Lease provides Tenant, if Tenant fails to provide Landlord with evidence of insurance as required under this Section 10.1, and if such failure continues for more than 2 Business Days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's written notice of such failure, then Landlord may assume that Tenant is not maintaining the insurance Section 10.1 requires Tenant to maintain and Landlord may (but is not obligated to) without further demand upon Tenant or notice to Tenant and without giving Tenant any cure right or waiving or releasing Tenant from any obligation contained in this Lease, obtain such insurance for Landlord's benefit. In such event, Tenant will pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, all costs and expenses Landlord incurs in obtaining such insurance. Landlord's exercise of its rights under this section does not relieve Tenant from any default under this Lease.

10.2. Landlord's Insurance Obligations. Landlord will (except for the optional coverages and endorsements this Section 10.2 may describe) at all times during the Term maintain the insurance this Section 10.2 describes. All premiums and other costs and expenses Landlord incurs in connection with maintaining such insurance (including without limitation a reasonable administrative fee for maintaining and coordinating Landlord's insurance program) are Operating Expenses.

10.2.1. Property Insurance. Property insurance on the Building in an amount not less than the full insurable replacement cost of the Building insuring against loss or damage by such risks as are covered by the current ISO Special Form policy. Landlord, at its option, may obtain such additional coverages or endorsements as Landlord deems appropriate or necessary in its sole but reasonable discretion, including without limitation insurance covering foundation, grading, excavation and debris removal costs; business income and rents insurance; earthquake insurance; terrorism insurance; and flood insurance. Landlord may maintain such insurance in whole or in part under blanket policies. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall have no obligation to replace, rebuild, or restore, and that Landlord's property insurance will not cover, any of the following: (a) Tenant's furniture, equipment, fixtures, and personal property; (b) systems or equipment installed by Tenant during the Term; or (c) alterations, improvements and changes to the Premises completed by Tenant at Tenant's expense.

10.2.2. Liability Insurance. Commercial general liability insurance against claims for bodily injury and property damage occurring at the Property in such amounts as Landlord deems appropriate or necessary in its sole but reasonable discretion. Such liability insurance will only protect Landlord (and, at Landlord's sole option, Landlord's lender and some or all of the Landlord Parties). Such liability insurance will not protect or insure Tenant, and does not replace or supplement the liability insurance this Lease obligates Tenant to carry.

10.2.3. Deductible. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord's insurance may include deductible limits, that such deductible amounts reduce the insurance premiums chargeable as Operating Expenses under the Lease, and that, notwithstanding the waiver set forth in Section 10.3, such deductible amounts shall either (i) be considered Operating Expenses under the Lease, or, (ii) if any loss covered by Landlord's insurance resulted from the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, be considered the sole responsibility of Tenant hereunder to the extent of Tenant's fault.

10.3. Mutual Waiver of Subrogation. Subject only to Section 10.2.3 above, each party hereby waives any and every right or cause of action for any and all loss of, or damage to, any of its property (whether or not such loss or damage is caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the other party or anyone for whom said other party may be responsible), which loss or damage is actually covered by an insurance policy maintained by such party, but only to the extent that such loss or damage is covered under any such insurance policy.

10.4. Liability of Landlord and Tenant.

10.4.1. The Landlord Parties shall not have any liability to Tenant for any Claims based on or arising out of any of the following: the repair or maintenance of any portion of the Premises; interruption in the use of the Premises or any Common Area; any accident or damage resulting from any use or operation by Landlord, Tenant or any other person or entity of the elevators or the heating, cooling, electrical, or plumbing systems serving the Property; termination of this Lease by reason of damage to the Premises or the Building; fire, robbery, theft, vandalism, or any other casualty; actions of any other tenant of the Building, or of any other third party; and leakage in any part of the Premises or the Building from water, rain, ice or snow that may leak into, or flow from, any part of the Premises or the Building, or from drains, pipes or plumbing fixtures in the Premises or the Building. Any property placed by Tenant in or about the Premises or the Property shall be at the sole risk of Tenant, and Landlord shall not in any manner be responsible therefore. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be released from liability to Tenant for any injury to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord. In no event, however, shall Landlord have any liability to Tenant on account of any claims for the interruption of or loss to Tenant's business or for any indirect damages or consequential losses.

10.4.2. In addition to Tenant's other indemnification obligations in this Lease (but subject to Landlord's insurance obligations in Section 10.2 above), Tenant to the fullest extent allowable under the Laws shall release, indemnify, protect, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord) and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from and against all Claims arising from: (a) any breach or default by Tenant in the performance of any of Tenant's covenants or agreements in this Lease; (b) the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant; (c) any accident, injury, occurrence or damage in, about or to the Premises; and (d) to the extent caused in whole or in part by Tenant, any accident, injury, occurrence or damage in, about or to the Property.

10.4.3. Subject to Tenant's insurance obligations in Section 10.1 above, Landlord to the fullest extent allowable under the Laws shall release, indemnify, protect, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Tenant) and hold harmless the Tenant from and against all Claims arising from: (a) any breach or default by Landlord in the performance of any of Landlord's covenants or agreements in this Lease; (b) the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord; or (c) the possession, use, occupation, management, repair, maintenance or control of the Common Area, except to the extent resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant. In no event, however, shall Landlord have any liability to Tenant on account of any claims for the interruption of or loss to Tenant's business or for any indirect damages or consequential losses.

10.4.4. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, Tenant shall look solely to the estate and property of Landlord in and to the Property (including the rents, profits and proceeds from the Property) in the event of any claim against Landlord arising out of or in connection with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, or Tenant's use of the Premises, and Tenant agrees that the liability of Landlord arising out of or in connection with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, or Tenant's use of the Premises, shall be limited to such estate and property of Landlord in and to the Property. No properties or assets of Landlord other than the estate and property of Landlord in and to the Property and no property owned by any partner of Landlord shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedures for the satisfaction of any judgment (or other judicial process) or for the satisfaction of any other remedy of Tenant arising out of or in connection with this Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant or Tenant's use of the Premises.

ARTICLE 11

DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

11.1. Tenant's Notice of Casualty. If the Premises or any part thereof shall be damaged by fire or any other casualty, Tenant shall give immediate written notice thereof to Landlord.

11.2. Tenantable Within 180 Days. Except as provided in Section 11.4, if a casualty renders the whole or any material part of the Premises untenantable, and if Landlord determines in its sole but reasonable discretion that it can make the Premises tenantable within 180 days after the Casualty Date, then Landlord will notify Tenant within 20 Business Days after the Casualty Date that Landlord will repair and restore the Building and the Premises as required by Section 11.6. In the event that such restoration of the Premises is not substantially completed within 180 days of the Casualty Date, and provided that such delay in substantial completion results from a cause other than Tenant Delay or Force Majeure, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease by delivering 30 days' prior written notice to Landlord. In the event the restoration of the Premises is substantially completed within such 30 day period, such right of termination shall be deemed to be void and without effect.

11.3. Not Tenantable Within 180 Days. if a casualty renders the whole or any material part of the Premises untenantable and Landlord reasonably determines in its sole discretion that it cannot make the Premises tenantable within 180 days after the Casualty Date, then Landlord will so notify Tenant within 20 Business Days after the Casualty Date and may, in such notice, terminate this Lease effective on the date of Landlord's notice. If Landlord determines that it cannot make the Premises tenantable within such 180-day period, and if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease as provided in this section, then Tenant may terminate this Lease by notifying Landlord within 30 days after Tenant's receipt of Landlord's notice, which termination will be effective 30 days after Landlord's receipt of Tenant's notice.

11.4. Building Substantially Damaged. Notwithstanding Section 11.2, if the Building is damaged or destroyed by casualty (regardless whether the Premises is affected) and either (a) fewer than 9 months remain in the Term after the Casualty Date, or (b) the damage reduces the value of the improvements on the Property by more than 50% (as determined by Landlord in its sole but reasonable discretion), then, regardless of whether Landlord determines in its reasonable discretion that it can make the Building tenantable within 180 days after the Casualty Date, Landlord, at Landlord's option, by notifying Tenant within 20 Business Days after the Casualty Date, may terminate this Lease effective on the date of Landlord's notice.

11.5. Insufficient Proceeds. Notwithstanding any contrary language in this Article 11, if this Article 11 obligates Landlord to repair damage to the Premises or Building caused by casualty, and if Landlord does not receive sufficient insurance proceeds (excluding any deficiency caused by the amount of any policy deductible) to repair all of the damage, or if the lender under any Mortgage does not release to Landlord sufficient insurance proceeds to repair all of the damage, then Landlord, at Landlord's option, by notifying Tenant within 45 days after the Casualty Date, may terminate this Lease effective on the date of Landlord's notice.

11.6. Landlord's Repair Obligations. If this Lease is not terminated under Sections 11.2 through 11.5 following a casualty, then Landlord shall repair and restore the Premises (subject to the last sentence of Section 10.2.1) and the Building to as near their condition prior to the casualty as is reasonably possible with all commercially reasonable diligence and speed (subject to delays caused by Tenant Delay or Force Majeure). In such case, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, but Basic Rent and Tenant's Share of Expenses for the period during which the Premises are untenantable shall ▇▇▇▇▇ pro rata (based upon the rentable area of the untenantable portion of the Premises as compared with the rentable area of the entire Premises). In no event is Landlord ❑bligated to repair or restore (a) Tenant's furniture, equipment, fixtures, and personal property; (b) systems or equipment installed by Tenant during the Term; or (c) alterations, improvements and changes to the Premises completed by Tenant at Tenant's expense. Landlord will, if necessary, equitably adjust Tenant's Share of Expenses Percentage, subject to Section 3.7, to account for any reduction in the rentable area of the Premises or Building resulting from a casualty.

11.7. Rent Apportionment Upon Termination. If either party terminates this Lease under this Article 11, then Landlord will apportion Basic Rent and Tenant's Share of Expenses on a per diem basis and Tenant will pay Basic Rent and Tenant's Share of Expenses to (a) the date of the casualty if the event renders the Premises completely untenantable or (b) if the event does not render the Premises completely untenantable, the effective date of such termination (provided that if a portion of the Premises is rendered untenantable, but the remaining portion is tenantable, then Tenant's obligation to pay Basic Rent and Tenants Share of Expenses abates pro rata [based upon the rentable area of the untenantable, portion of the Premises divided by the rentable area of the entire Premises] from the date of the casualty and Tenant will pay the unabated portion of the Rent to the date of such termination).

11.8. Exclusive Casualty Remedy. The provisions of this Article 11 are Tenant's sole and exclusive rights and remedies in the event of a casualty. To the extent permitted by the Laws, Tenant waives the benefits of any Laws that provide Tenant any abatement or termination rights (by virtue of a casualty) not specifically described in this Article 11.

ARTICLE 12

CONDEMNATION

12.1. Termination of Lease. If a Condemning Authority desires to effect a Taking of all or any material part of the Property, then Landlord will promptly notify Tenant. If Landlord and Tenant both reasonably conclude that the Taking will render the Premises unsuitable for the Permitted Use, then Landlord and Tenant will document such determination, and this Lease will terminate as of the date the Condemning Authority takes possession of the portion of the Property taken. Tenant will pay Rent to the date of termination. If a Condemning Authority takes all or any material part of the Building, or if a Taking reduces the value of the Property by 50% or more (as reasonably determined by Landlord in its sole discretion), regardless whether the Premises is affected, then Landlord, at Landlord's option, by notifying Tenant prior to the date the Condemning Authority takes possession of the portion of the Property taken, may terminate this Lease effective on the date the Condemning Authority takes possession of the portion of the Property taken.

12.2. Landlord's Repair Obligations. If this Lease does not terminate with respect to the entire Premises under Section 12.1, and if the Taking includes a portion of the Premises, then this Lease shall automatically terminate as to the portion of the Premises taken as of the date the Condemning Authority takes possession of the portion taken and Landlord will, at its sole cost and expense, restore the remaining portion of the Premises to a complete architectural unit with all commercially reasonable diligence and speed and will reduce the Basic Rent for the period after the date the Condemning Authority takes possession of the portion of the Premises taken to a sum equal to the product of the Basic Rent provided for in this Lease multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the rentable area of the Premises after the Taking and after Landlord restores the Premises to a complete architectural unit, and the denominator of which is the rentable area of the Premises prior to the Taking. Landlord will also equitably adjust Tenant's Share of Expenses Percentage for the same period, subject to Section 3.7, to account for the reduction in the rentable area of the Premises or the Building resulting from the Taking. Tenant's obligation to pay Basic Rent and Tenant's Share of Expenses will ▇▇▇▇▇ on a proportionate basis with respect to that portion of the Premises remaining after the Taking that Tenant is unable to use during Landlord's restoration for the period of time that Tenant is unable to use such portion of the Premises.

12.3. Tenant's Participation. Except only as specifically set forth in the last sentence of this Section, Landlord is entitled to receive and keep all damages, awards or payments resulting from or paid on account of a Taking. Tenant has no right to receive any award for its interest in this Lease or for loss of leasehold (including without limitation any award for the unexpired portion of the Term), and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any interest of Tenant in any such award. Tenant may only prove in any condemnation proceedings, and may only receive from the Condemning Authority: (i) any separate award for damages to or condemnation of Tenant's movable trade fixtures and equipment, and (ii) any separate award for relocation expenses.

12.4. Exclusive Taking Remedy. The provisions of this Article 12 are Tenant's sole and exclusive rights and remedies in the event of a Taking. To the extent permitted by the Laws, Tenant waives the benefits of any Laws that provide Tenant any abatement or termination rights or any right to receive any payment or award (by virtue of a Taking) not specifically described in this Article 12.

ARTICLE 13
TRANSFERS

13.1. Restriction on Transfers.

13.1.1. General Prohibition. Except as set forth in Section 13.1.2, Tenant will not cause or suffer a Transfer without first obtaining Landlord's written consent, which consent Landlord may grant, withhold, or condition in its sole but reasonable discretion. If Landlord consents to the Transfer, then Landlord may impose on Tenant or the transferee such reasonable conditions as Landlord deems appropriate in its sole but reasonable discretion. Tenant's request for Landlord's consent to a Transfer must describe in detail the parties, terms and portion of the Premises affected. Tenant will, in connection with requesting Landlord's consent, provide Landlord with a copy of any and all documents and information regarding the proposed Transfer and the proposed transferee as Landlord reasonably requests. Landlord will notify Tenant of Landlord's election to consent or withhold consent within 30 days after receiving Tenant's written request for consent to the Transfer, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that no Transfer will release Tenant from any liability or obligation under this Lease, and that Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord after such a Transfer as a principal and not as a surety or guarantor, and that the collection or acceptance of rent from any such assignee, transferee, subtenant or occupant shall not constitute a waiver or release of Tenant under any provision of the Lease. If Landlord consents to any Transfer, Tenant will pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, 50% of any amount Tenant receives on account of the Transfer in excess of the amounts this Lease, after deducting the third-party costs that Tenant reasonably and actually incurs to facilitate the Transfer (including without limitation leasing commissions and attorneys fees, but excluding improvement allowances and other inducement concessions). Any attempted Transfer in violation of this Lease is null and void and constitutes a breach of this Lease. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord's refusal to consent to a Transfer shall be deemed not to have been unreasonably withheld if (i) the proposed transferee is not of a type and quality consistent with the first-class nature of the Building, (ii) the proposed transferee is a governmental agency or any party by whom any suit or action could be defended on the ground of sovereign immunity, (iii) the proposed transferee is already a tenant at the Property, or is a party with whom the Landlord is presently negotiating for the lease of space at the Property, (iv) the presence of the proposed transferee in the Premises would cause Landlord to be in violation of any other lease, or would trigger termination rights by any other tenant, (v) the proposed transferee does not have the financial capacity and credit worthiness to undertake and perform Tenant's obligations under this Lease, or (vi) the space to be assigned or sublet is not configured to allow appropriate means of ingress and egress. Tenant also acknowledges that one or more existing or future mortgagees of a Mortgage affecting the Property may have the right to approve any Transfer and that, whenever that is the case, Landlord shall have the absolute right to withhold its consent to a Transfer if any such mortgagee withholds its consent thereto.

13.1.2. Transfers to Affiliates. Provided that Tenant is not in default in the performance of its obligations under this Lease, Tenant may cause a Transfer to an Affiliate if: (a) Tenant notifies Landlord at least 30 days prior to such Transfer; (b) the transferee assumes and agrees in a writing reasonably acceptable to Landlord to perform Tenant's obligations under this Lease and to observe all terms and conditions of this Lease; and (c) Tenant delivers to Landlord, at the time of Tenant's notice, current financial statements of the proposed transferee. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that a Transfer to an Affiliate under this Section 13.1.2 will not release Tenant from any liability or obligation under this Lease, and that Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord after such a Transfer as a principal and not as a surety or guarantor. Landlord's right described in Section 13.1.1 to share in any profit Tenant receives from a Transfer permitted under this Section 13.1.2 does not apply to any Transfer this Section 13.1.2 permits.

13.2. Costs. Tenant will pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, all costs and expenses Landlord actually incurs in connection with any Transfer, including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees and other third-party expenses, regardless whether Landlord consents to the Transfer.

ARTICLE 14

DEFAULTS; REMEDIES

14.1. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following constitutes an "Event of Default" by Tenant under this Lease:

14.1.1. Failure to Pay Rent. Tenant fails to pay as and when due (a) Basic Rent, (b) any installment of Tenants Share of Expenses, or (c) any other Additional Rent amount, and such failure continues for 10 days after Landlord notifies Tenant of such failure.

14.1.2. Failure to Perform. Tenant breaches or fails to perform any of Tenants non-monetary obligations under this Lease and the breach or failure continues for a period of 30 days after Landlord notifies Tenant of such breach or failure; provided, however, that if Tenant cannot reasonably cure its breach or failure within said 30 day period, then Tenant's breach or failure is not an Event of Default if Tenant promptly commences to cure its breach or failure and thereafter diligently and in good faith pursues the cure and effects the cure within a period of time that does not exceed 90 days after the date that Landlord notified Tenant of the breach or failure. Notwithstanding any contrary language in this Section 14.1.2, Tenant is not entitled to any notice or cure period before an incurable breach of this Lease (or failure) becomes an Event of Default.

14.1.3. Misrepresentation. The existence of any material misrepresentation or omission in any financial statements, correspondence or other information provided to Landlord by or on behalf of Tenant in connection with: (a) Tenant's negotiation or execution of this Lease; (b) Landlord's evaluation of Tenant as a prospective tenant at the Property; (c) any proposed or attempted Transfer; or (d) any consent or approval requested by Tenant under this Lease.

14.1.4. Other Defaults. (a) Tenant makes a general assignment or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors; (b) a petition for adjudication of bankruptcy or for reorganization or rearrangement is filed by Tenant; (c) a petition for adjudication of bankruptcy or for reorganization or rearrangement is filed against Tenant and is not dismissed within 60 days; (d) a trustee or receiver is appointed to take possession of substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or of Tenant's interest in this Lease and possession is not restored to Tenant within 30 days; or (e) substantially all of Tenant's assets, substantially all of Tenant's assets located at the Premises or Tenant's interest in this Lease is subjected to attachment, execution or other judicial seizure not discharged within 30 days. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any act described in this section does not constitute an Event of Default, and the court appoints a trustee to take possession of the Premises (or if Tenant remains a debtor in possession of the Premises) and such trustee or Tenant transfers Tenant's interest hereunder, then Landlord is entitled to receive, as Additional Rent, the amount by which the Rent (or any other consideration) paid in connection with the Transfer exceeds the Rent otherwise payable by Tenant under this Lease.

14.1.5. Notice Requirements. The notices required by this Section 14.1 are intended to satisfy any and all notice requirements imposed by the Laws and are not in addition to any such requirements.

14.2. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord, at any time and from time to time, and without preventing Landlord from exercising any other right or remedy, may exercise any one or more of the following remedies:

14.2.1. Termination of Tenant's Possession; Re-entry and Reletting Right. Terminate Tenant's right to possess the Premises by any lawful means with or without terminating this Lease, in which event Tenant will immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. Unless Landlord specifically states that it is terminating this Lease, Landlord's termination of Tenants right to possess the Premises is not to be construed as an election by Landlord to terminate this Lease or Tenants obligations and liabilities under this Lease. In such event, this Lease continues in full force and effect (except for Tenant's right to possess the Premises) and Tenant continues to be obligated for and must pay all Rent as and when due under this Lease. If Landlord terminates Tenant's right to possess the Premises, Landlord is not obligated to but may re-enter the Premises and remove all persons and property from the Premises. Landlord may store any property Landlord removes from the Premises in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost and for the account of Tenant. Upon such re-entry, Landlord is not obligated to but may relet all or any part of the Premises to a third party or parties for Tenant's account. Tenant is immediately liable to Landlord for all Re-entry Costs and must pay Landlord the same within 10 days after Landlord's notice to Tenant. Landlord may relet the Premises for a period shorter or longer than the remaining Term. If Landlord relets all or any part of the Premises, Tenant will continue to pay Rent when due under this Lease and Landlord will refund to Tenant the Net Rent Landlord actually receives from the reletting up to a maximum amount equal to the Rent paid by Tenant that came due after Landlord's reletting. If the Net Rent Landlord actually receives from reletting exceeds such Rent, Landlord will apply the excess sum to future Rent due under this Lease. Landlord may retain any surplus Net Rent remaining at the expiration of the Term.

14.2.2. Termination of Lease. Terminate this Lease effective on the date Landlord specifies in its termination notice to Tenant. Upon termination, Tenant will immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord. If Landlord terminates this Lease, Landlord may recover from Tenant and Tenant will pay to Landlord on demand all damages Landlord incurs by reason of Tenant's default, including, without limitation: (a) all Rent due and payable under this Lease as of the effective date of the termination; (b) any amount necessary to compensate Landlord for any detriment proximately caused to Landlord by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course would likely result from Tenant's failure to perform, including but not limited to any Re-entry Costs; (c) an amount equal to the difference between the present worth, as of the effective date of the termination, of the Rent for the balance of the Term remaining after the effective date of the termination (assuming no termination) and the present worth, as of the effective date of the termination, of a fair market Rent for the Premises for the same period (as Landlord reasonably determines the fair market Rent); and (d) Tenant's Share of Expenses to the extent Landlord is not otherwise reimbursed for such Expenses. For purposes of this section, Landlord will utilize the Discount Rate to compute present worth. Nothing in this section shall limit or prejudice Landlord's right to prove and obtain damages in an amount equal to the maximum amount allowed by the Laws, regardless whether such damages are greater than the amounts set forth in this section.

14.2.3. Present Worth of Rent. Recover from Tenant, and Tenant will pay to Landlord on demand, an amount equal to the then present worth, as of the effective date of termination, of the aggregate of the Rent and any other charges payable by Tenant under this Lease for the unexpired portion of the Term, less the fair and reasonable rental value of the Premises for the corresponding period. Landlord will utilize the Discount Rate to compute present worth. The fair and reasonable rental value of the Premises shall be determined in good faith by Landlord on the basis of the rents payable under leases entered into by Landlord for comparable space in the Building during the 18-month period immediately preceding Landlord's election to proceed under this Section 14.2.3; or, if Landlord reasonably determines that no such leases for comparable space have been entered into, then the fair and reasonable rental value shall be otherwise determined by Landlord in good faith. If the Premises or any part thereof are relet by Landlord before any adjudication of Landlord's claims for damages, then the amount of rent payable to Landlord for such reletting shall be deemed the fair and reasonable rental value of the Premises (or the applicable part thereof) during the term of the reletting.

14.2.4. Self Help. Perform the obligation on Tenant's behalf without waiving Landlord's rights under this Lease at law or in equity, and without releasing Tenant from any obligation under this Lease. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, all sums that Landlord pays and all obligations that Landlord incurs on Tenant's behalf under this section.

14.2.5. Other Remedies. Any other right or remedy available to Landlord under this Lease, under the Laws, and/or in equity.

14.3. Costs. Tenant will reimburse and compensate Landlord on demand and as Additional Rent for any actual loss Landlord incurs in connection with, resulting from or related to any breach or default of Tenant under this Lease, regardless whether the breach or default constitutes an Event of Default, and regardless whether suit is commenced or judgment is entered. Such loss shall include ail reasonable legal fees, costs and expenses (including paralegal fees and other professional fees and expenses) Landlord incurs in investigating, negotiating, settling or enforcing any of Landlord's rights or remedies or otherwise protecting Landlord's interests under this Lease. Tenant will also indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord), protect and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from and against all Claims that Landlord or any of the other Landlord Parties incurs if Landlord or any of the other Landlord Parties becomes or is made a party to any claim or action (a) instituted by Tenant {other than claims asserting that Landlord has breached any of its obligations to Tenant under this Lease) or by or against any person holding any interest in the Premises by, under or through Tenant, (b) for foreclosure of any lien for labor or material furnished to or for Tenant or such other person, or (c) otherwise arising out of or resulting from any act or omission of Tenant or such other person. In addition to the foregoing, Landlord is entitled to reimbursement of all of Landlord's fees, expenses and damages, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees and paralegal and other professional fees and expenses, Landlord incurs in connection with protecting its interests in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding involving Tenant, including without limitation any proceeding under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code; by exercising and advocating rights under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code; by proposing a plan of reorganization and objecting to competing plans; and by filing motions for relief from stay. Such fees and expenses are payable on demand, or, in any event, upon assumption or rejection of this Lease in bankruptcy.

14.4. Waiver and Release by Tenant. Tenant waives and releases all Claims Tenant may have resulting from Landlord's re-entry and taking possession of the Premises by any lawful means and removing and storing Tenant's property as permitted under this Lease, regardless of whether this Lease is terminated, and, to the fullest extent allowable under the Laws, Tenant will release, indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord), protect and hold harmless the Landlord Parties from and against any and all Claims occasioned thereby. No such re-entry is to be considered or construed as a forcible entry by Landlord.

14.5. Landlord's Default. If Landlord defaults in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease, Tenant will notify Landlord in writing of the default and Landlord will have 30 days after receiving such notice to cure the default. If Landlord is not reasonably able to cure the default within a 30 day period, Landlord will have an additional reasonable period of time to cure the default as long as Landlord promptly commences the cure and thereafter diligently and in good faith pursues the cure to completion. If Landlord has not commenced repair or maintenance required to be performed by Landlord hereunder within 45 days after written notice thereof from Tenant, then Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make such repairs and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable and actual cost thereof within 30 days after receipt of an invoice from Tenant. In the event of an emergency, Tenant may (but shall not be obligated to) perform such repairs which would otherwise be Landlord's obligation hereunder which may be reasonably necessary, after having given Landlord such notice, if any, as may be practicable under the circumstances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth hereinabove, Tenant shall not be required to perform any repairs which would otherwise be Landlord's obligation hereunder. In the event of a Landlord default beyond any such notice and cure period, Tenant shall be entitled to all remedies provided by State law. In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant or any other person for consequential, special or punitive damages (including without limitation lost profits). Any claim Tenant may have against Landlord for default in performance of any of Landlord's obligations under this Lease is deemed waived unless Tenant notifies Landlord of the default within 180 days after Tenant actually knew of the default. If Tenant recovers a final, non-appealable monetary judgment against Landlord for a default by Landlord under this Lease, then Tenant may, in addition to any other remedies available to it, set off the amount of that judgment against those installments of Basic Rent next coming due hereunder.

14.6. No Waiver. Except as specifically set forth in this Lease, no failure by Landlord or Tenant to insist upon the other party's performance of any of the terms of this Lease or to exercise any right or remedy upon a breach thereof, constitutes a waiver of any such breach or of any breach or default by the other party in its performance of its obligations under this Lease. No acceptance by Landlord of full or partial Rent from Tenant or any third party during the continuance of any breach or default by Tenant of Tenant's performance of its obligations under this Lease constitutes Landlord's waiver of any such breach or default. Except as specifically set forth in this Lease, none of the terms of this Lease to be kept, observed or performed by a party to this Lease, and no breach thereof, are waived, altered or modified except by a written instrument executed by the other party.

One or more waivers by a party to this Lease are not to be construed as a waiver of a subsequent breach of the same covenant, term or condition. No statement on a payment check from a party to this Lease or in a letter accompanying a payment check is binding on the other party. The party receiving the check, with or without notice to the other party, may negotiate such check without being bound to the conditions of any such statement.

ARTICLE 15

CREDITORS; ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES

15.1. Subordination. This Lease, all rights of Tenant in this Lease, and all interest or estate of Tenant in the Property, is subject and subordinate to the lien of any Mortgage. Tenant, within 15 days of Landlord's request, will execute and deliver to Landlord any document reasonably required to confirm the self-effectuating subordination of this Lease as provided in this Section to the lien of any Mortgage. If Tenant does not timely deliver the properly signed document to Landlord, and if such failure continues for more than 2 Business Days after Tenant's receipt of written notice from Landlord of such failure, then such failure shall constitute an Event of Default under this Lease. Notwithstanding the subordination to any future Mortgage provided for in this section, as long as Tenant is not in default in the payment of Rent or the performance and observance of any covenant, condition, provision, term or agreement to be performed and observed by Tenant under this Lease beyond any applicable grace ❑r cure period this Lease provides Tenant, the holder of the Mortgage shall not by virtue of such subordination under this section be entitled to disturb Tenant's right of possession of the Premises under this Lease. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that the lien of any existing or future Mortgage will not cover Tenant's moveable trade fixtures or personal property located in or on the Premises.

15.2. Attornment. If the holder of any Mortgage at a foreclosure sale (or by deed in lieu of foreclosure) or any other transferee acquires Landlord's interest in this Lease, the Premises or the Property, then Tenant will attorn to the transferee of or successor to Landlord's interest in this Lease, the Premises or the Property (as the case may be) and recognize such transferee or successor as landlord under this Lease, provided that any such purchaser at a foreclosure sale or transferee under a deed in lieu of foreclosure shall not be (a) bound by any payment of Rent more than one month in advance, (b) liable for damages for any breach, act or omission of any prior landlord, or (c) subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior landlord. Tenant waives the protection of any statute or rule of law that gives or purports to give Tenant any right to terminate this Lease or surrender possession of the Premises upon the transfer of Landlord's interest.

15.3. Mortgagee Protection Clause. Provided that Landlord or the holder of a Mortgage has previously notified Tenant of the notice address of the holder of the Mortgage, Tenant shall give the holder of the Mortgage, by registered mail, a copy of any notice of default that Tenant serves on Landlord. If Landlord fails to cure such default within the time provided for in this Lease, then Tenant will also provide written notice of such failure to the holder of the Mortgage, and such holder will have an additional 30 days after receipt of such notice within which to cure the default (but shall not be obligated to cure the default). if the default cannot be cured within the additional 30 day period, then the holder will have such additional time as may be reasonably necessary to effect the cure if, within the 30 day period, the holder has promptly commenced and is diligently pursuing in good faith the cure (including without limitation commencing foreclosure proceedings if necessary to effect the cure).

15.4. Estoppel Certificates.

15.4.1. Contents. Upon Landlord's written request, Tenant will execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a written statement in form reasonably satisfactory to Landlord certifying, to the extent true: (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been any modifications, that the Lease is in full force and effect as modified, and stating the modifications); (b) that this Lease has not been canceled or terminated; (c) the last date of payment of Rent and the time period covered by such payment; (d) whether there are then existing any breaches or defaults by Landlord under this Lease known to Tenant and, if so, specifying the same; (e) specifying any existing claims or defenses in favor of Tenant against the enforcement of this Lease; (f) that Tenant has accepted the Premises and that Landlord has no outstanding construction or payment obligations with respect to preparation of the Premises for Tenant's occupancy (or, if there are any such outstanding obligations, stating the same); (g) that Tenant has no option to purchase the Premises or any part of the Property; and (h) such other factual statements as Landlord, or any lender, prospective lender, investor or purchaser may reasonably request. Tenant will deliver the properly signed statement to Landlord within 15 days after receipt of Landlord's request. Landlord may give any such statement by Tenant to any lender, prospective lender, investor or purchaser of all or any part of the Property, and any such party may conclusively rely upon such statement as true and correct.

15.4.2. Failure to Deliver. If Tenant does not timely deliver the properly signed statement referenced in Section 15.4.1 to Landlord, and if such failure continues for more than 2 Business Days after Tenant's receipt of written notice from Landlord of such failure, then such failure shall constitute an Event of Default under this Lease. Further, if Tenant fails to timely deliver the properly signed statement within such 2-day period, then Landlord and any lender, prospective lender, or purchaser may conclusively presume and rely, except as otherwise represented by Landlord, (i) that the terms and provisions of this Lease have not been changed; (ii) that this Lease has not been canceled or terminated; (iii) that not more than one month's Rent has been paid in advance; (iv) that Tenant has accepted the Premises and that Landlord has no outstanding construction or payment obligations with respect to preparation of the Premises for Tenant's occupancy; (v) that Tenant has no option to purchase the Property or any part of the Property; and (vi) that Landlord is not in default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease. In such event, Tenant is estopped from denying the truth of such facts.

SURRENDER; HOLDING OVER

16.1. Surrender of Premises. Tenant will surrender the Premises to Landlord at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease in good order, condition and repair (reasonable wear and tear, permitted Alterations, and damage by casualty or condemnation excepted), and will surrender all keys to the Premises to Landlord at the place then fixed for Tenant's payment of Basic Rent or as Landlord otherwise directs. Tenant will also inform Landlord of all combinations on locks, safes and vaults, if any, in the Premises or on the Property. Tenant will at such time remove all of its property from the Premises and, if Landlord required as a condition of its consent, all specified Alterations carried out by Tenant in the Premises. Tenant will promptly repair any damage to the Premises caused by such removal. If Tenant does not surrender the Premises in accordance with this section, Tenant will indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord), protect and hold harmless Landlord from and against any Claim resulting from Tenant's delay in so surrendering the Premises, including, without limitation, any Claim made by any succeeding occupant founded on such delay. All property of Tenant not removed on or before the last day of the Term is deemed abandoned. If Tenant fails to remove all of Tenant's property from the Premises upon termination of this Lease, then Tenant shall be deemed to have appointed Landlord as Tenant's agent to remove, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, all of Tenant's property from the Premises upon termination of this Lease and to cause its transportation and storage for Tenant's benefit, all at the sole cost and risk of Tenant, and Landlord will not be liable for damage, theft, misappropriation or loss thereof or in any manner in respect thereto.

16.2. Holding Over. If Tenant possesses the Premises after the Term expires (or after this Lease is otherwise terminated) without executing a new lease but with Landlord's written consent, then Tenant is deemed to be occupying the Premises as a tenant from month-to-month, subject to all provisions, conditions and obligations of this Lease applicable to a month-to-month tenancy, except that (a) Basic Rent for each month during the hold-over period shall be equal to 125% of the Basic Rent for the month immediately preceding the commencement of the hold-over period, and (b) either Landlord or Tenant may terminate the month-to-month tenancy at any time upon at least 30 days prior written notice to the other party. If Tenant possesses the Premises after the Term expires (or is otherwise terminated) without executing a new lease and without Landlord's written consent, then Tenant is deemed to be occupying the Premises without claim of right (but subject to all terms and conditions of this Lease) and, in addition to Tenant's obligation to indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Landlord), protect and hold harmless Landlord from and against any Claim resulting from Tenant's failure to surrender the Premises in accordance with Section 16.1, Tenant shall also pay to Landlord a charge for each day of occupancy after expiration of the Term in an amount equal to 200% of the Rent for the last month of the expired Term (on a daily basis). This Section 16.2 shall in no way constitute consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, nor limit Landlord’s remedies in such event.

ARTICLE 17

ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS

17.1. Tenant Improvements.

17.1.1. Tenant Improvements. Landlord is providing the basic Premises in its current "AS IS" condition, without representation or warranty of any kind, and Landlord shall have no obligation to make any modifications or alterations to the Premises except as specifically set forth in this Section 17.1. Landlord shall coordinate improvements in the Premises (the "Tenant Improvements") pursuant to plans and specifications that have been approved by both Landlord and Tenant (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed). Landlord will seek bids from at least 3 qualified general contractors to complete the Tenant Improvements. Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Tenant Improvements on or before the Commencement Date, subject to Tenant Delays and delays caused by Force Majeure. Prior to Tenant's occupancy, Landlord and Tenant will inspect the Tenant Improvements and if necessary develop a punch list. Landlord will complete (or repair, as the case may be) the items described on the punch list with commercially reasonable diligence and speed, subject to delays caused by Tenant Delays and Force Majeure. Any other improvements made to the Premises by Tenant shall be at Tenant's sole expense, and shall be deemed an "Alteration" subject to Article 8 of this Lease.

17.1.2. Tenant Improvement Allowance. The costs of the Tenant Improvements shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant; provided, however, that Landlord shall provide Tenant with an allowance of up to $160,060.00 (the "Allowance"), calculated at $20.00 per rentable square foot of the Premises. Landlord shall use the Allowance to pay: (a) all costs and expenses directly incurred by Landlord, if any, in the construction of the Tenant Improvements (including all applicable licenses and permits); and (b) all costs and expenses directly incurred by Landlord for the preparation and review of all plans and specifications for the Tenant Improvements. if the cost of the Tenant Improvements exceeds the Allowance, then Tenant shall immediately pay such excess cost to Landlord as Additional Rent. If the Allowance exceeds the final total cost of the Tenant Improvements, then upon receipt of paid receipt invoices and any other information or documentation reasonably requested by Landlord, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant up to $32,012.00 from the remaining portion of the Allowance for Tenant's actual costs paid to unaffiliated third parties relating to: (i) wiring and cabling of telephone, computer, and voice/data systems in the Premises; and (ii) moving Tenant's files, furniture, equipment, and other personal property to the Premises. To the extent any portion of the Allowance has not been reimbursed to Tenant by August 1, 2014, then the remaining portion of the Allowance as of said date shall be forfeited to Landlord, and Tenant shall be solely responsible for the costs of any Tenant Improvements on and after said date.

17.2. Parking Facilities. Tenant shall have the right of non-exclusive use, in common with others, of its proportionate share of the unrestricted automobile parking areas located at the Property. Landlord retains the right, to be exercised in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, to designate the parking areas of the Property as either restricted or unrestricted parking areas. Neither Tenant, nor any of its employees, agents, or visitors shall use the parking areas for overnight storage of vehicles. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord will not be responsible for any loss, theft or damage to vehicles, or the contents thereof, parked or left in the parking areas of the Property.

17.3. Security Deposit. Tenant has deposited, and will keep on deposit with Landlord at all times during the Term, the Deposit as security for the payment and performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. Tenant agrees that Landlord is not required to pay Tenant any interest on the Deposit. If at any time Tenant is in default, then Landlord has the right to use the Deposit, or so much thereof as necessary, in payment of Rent, in reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Landlord, and in payment of any damages incurred by Landlord by reason of such default. In such event, Tenant shall on demand of Landlord forthwith remit to Landlord a sufficient amount in cash to restore the ❑eposit to the original amount. If the entire Deposit has not been utilized, the remaining amount will be refunded to Tenant or to whoever is the holder of the Tenant's interest in the Lease, without interest, within 60 days after full performance of this Lease by Tenant. Landlord may commingle the Deposit with other funds of Landlord. Landlord shall deliver the Deposit to any purchaser of Landlord's interest in the Premises. Tenant agrees that if a Mortgagee succeeds to Landlord's interest in the Premises by reason of foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, Tenant has no claim against the Mortgagee for the Deposit or any portion thereof unless such Mortgagee has actually received the same from Landlord. If claims of Landlord exceed the Deposit, Tenant shall remain liable for the balance.

17.4. Substitution. Landlord has the right at any time, upon 120 days' prior notice to Tenant, to substitute other space within the Building for the Premises (the 'Substitute Premises"), which Substitute Premises shall include tenant finish substantially comparable to that of the Premises. Tenant shall relocate to the Substitute Premises on the date specified in Landlord's notice which date will be no sooner than 120 days after notice. Landlord will pay all reasonable expenses incurred by Tenant to move its furniture, fixtures, and equipment to the Substitute Premises. The suite number designation and Exhibit 1 shall be deemed revised to reflect the description of the Substitute Premises. Except for such revisions, the provisions of this Lease are applicable to the Substitute Premises and references to the Premises in the Lease shall mean the Substitute Premises following the Tenant's move.

18.7. Severability. If any covenant, condition, provision, term or agreement of this Lease is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portion thereof and all other covenants, conditions, provisions, terms and agreements of this Lease, will not be affected by such holding, and will remain valid and in force to the fullest extent permitted by law.

18.10. Brokers.

18.11. Governing Law. This Lease is governed by, and must be interpreted under, the internal laws of the State. Any suit arising from or relating to this Lease must be brought in the County; Landlord and Tenant each waive the right to bring suit elsewhere.

18.12. Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to the performance of every provision of this Lease in which time of performance is a factor.

18.13. Authority. Landlord and Tenant each represent and warrant that this Lease is a duly authorized obligation of said party. The individuals signing this Lease on behalf of Landlord and Tenant represent and warrant that they are duly authorized to sign on behalf of and to bind said party.

"Anti-Terrorism Laws," shall specifically include but not be limited to the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Pub. L. No. 107-56 (aka, the USA Patriot Act); Executive Order 13224; the Bank Secrecy Act, 31 U.S.C. Section 5311 et. seq.; the Trading with the Enemy Act, 50 U.S.C.

18.17. Construction of Lease and Terms. All provisions of this Lease, whether covenants or conditions, are deemed both covenants and conditions. The terms and provisions of this Lease represent the results of negotiations between Landlord and Tenant, each of which are sophisticated parties and each of which has been represented or been given the opportunity to be represented by counsel of its own choosing, and neither of which has acted under any duress or compulsion, whether legal, economic or otherwise. Consequently, the terms and provisions of this Lease must be interpreted and construed in accordance with their usual and customary meanings, and Landlord and Tenant each waive the application of any rule of law that ambiguous or conflicting terms or provisions contained in this Lease are to be interpreted or construed against the party who prepared the executed Lease or any earlier draft of the same. Landlord's submission of this instrument to Tenant for examination or signature by Tenant does not constitute a reservation of or an option to lease and is not effective as a lease or otherwise until Landlord and Tenant both execute and deliver this Lease. The parties agree that, regardless of which party provided the initial form of this Lease, drafted or modified one or more provisions of this Lease, or compiled, printed or copied this Lease, this Lease is to be construed solely as an offer from Tenant to lease the Premises, executed by Tenant and provided to Landlord for acceptance on the terms set forth in this Lease, which acceptance and the existence of a binding agreement between Tenant and Landlord may then be evidenced only by Landlord's execution of this Lease.

18.18. Nondisclosure of Lease Terms. The terms and conditions of this Lease constitute proprietary information of Landlord that Tenant will keep confidential. Tenant's disclosure of the terms and conditions of this Lease could adversely affect Landlord's ability to negotiate other leases and impair Landlord's relationship with other tenants. Accordingly, Tenant, without Landlord's consent (which consent Landlord may grant or withhold in its sole and absolute discretion), will not directly or indirectly disclose the terms and conditions of this Lease to any other tenant or prospective tenant of the Building or to any other person or entity other than Tenant's employees and agents who have a legitimate need to know such information (and who will also keep the same in confidence).

18.19. Financial Disclosure. At the request of Landlord, from time to time during the Term, Tenant shall provide Landlord with any reasonable financial records, including financial statements or federal tax returns of Tenant prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for the prior two fiscal years of operation of Tenant. Landlord shall retain such financial disclosure in confidence but shall be permitted to provide copies to its mortgagees for the purpose of financing the Building or to prospective purchasers of the Building.
