2.1 Lease to Tenant. Landlord shall cause to be constructed the Seaholm Power Plant Building if not already constructed, as depicted on the Site Plan attached as Exhibit "A-2" which shall include the Premises to be located in the Project as shown on Exhibit "A-1".
2.2 Premises. Landlord hereby leases the Premises to Tenant, and Tenant hereby leases the Premises from Landlord, for the Term, subject to the other provisions of this Lease. The parties acknowledge that Exhibit "A-1" is Landlord’s best estimate of the precise dimensions of the Premises, which dimensions may be modified during completion of Landlord’s Work. Upon the occurrence of the Commencement Date, Landlord shall inform Tenant of the actual rentable area of the Premises and the Building, and Tenant shall have thirty (30) days to request in writing a re-measurement of the Premises. If Tenant fails to timely request a re-measurement, Landlord’s calculation shall be final and binding, and the Base Rent, Allowance (as defined in Exhibit "C") and Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be recalculated (if necessary) to reflect any changes from the rentable area set forth in Section 1.3 above. If Tenant timely delivers such notice, then the parties shall agree on a licensed architect to re-measure the rentable area of the Premises, and such architect’s determination shall be final and used to recalculate Base Rent, the Allowance and Tenant’s Proportionate Share as described above. The calculation of the rentable areas in accordance with this Section 2.2 shall be performed in accordance with BOMA Standards of Measurement (Office Buildings) ANSI/BOMA Z65.1 – 2010).

4
which Landlord deems reasonable, perform maintenance and repairs and otherwise use the Common Areas as Landlord may deem appropriate in its reasonable judgment; provided, however, Landlord may not make any changes to the Common Areas or to Garage that would materially, adversely impact Tenant’s use of or access to the Premises, the Building or the Garage without the prior consent of Tenant.
2.4 Title. Tenant's leasehold estate in the Premises under this Lease is subject to: (a) the Matters of Record, including the Master Lease; (b) the Rules and Regulations, and (c) the effect of all Laws applicable to the use and occupancy of the Premises and the Project.
2.5 Acceptance of Premises. Subject only to Substantial Completion of Landlord’s Work as described in Exhibit "C" (and subject to Landlord’s completion of punch list items as defined in Exhibit “C”), Tenant accepts the Premises, the Common Areas and Project as satisfactorily completed, and by accepting delivery of the Premises agrees that the Premises and the Project are in satisfactory condition and repair, except as to latent defects and subject to problems or conditions of which Tenant gives Landlord notice within ninety (90) days after the Commencement Date. The parties acknowledge that if the City requires Substantial Completion of the Garage in order for Tenant to gain access to the Premises or to commence the Tenant Improvements, the Commencement Date shall not occur until Landlord Substantially Completes the Garage. Nothing provided herein shall relieve Landlord from ongoing maintenance, repair and replacement obligations contained in this Lease or from Landlord’s obligations under Section 18 below.

Landlord makes no representation or warranty with respect to the occupancy by any tenant or occupant, as to the date on which any such tenant or occupant accepted or will accept occupancy of its space or the use to which any other tenant or occupant will put its leased space, except as expressly provided herein.

If Landlord cannot deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant in the condition required above on the projected delivery date for any reason, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability therefore except as set forth in this Section 2.6(b). Such failure of delivery shall not affect the validity of this Lease or the obligations of Landlord or Tenant hereunder except as provided herein. If Landlord shall have failed to deliver the Premises with Landlord’s Work Substantially Complete on or before December 1, 2014 (the “First Credit Date”), then Tenant shall receive a credit against Base Rent in the amount of $7,913.80 for each day thereafter until the earlier of (i) the date Landlord delivers possession of the Premises with Landlord’s Work Substantially Complete, or (ii) February 1, 2015 (the “Second Credit Date”). If Landlord shall have failed to deliver the Premises with Landlord’s Work Substantially Complete or before the Second Credit Date, then Tenant shall receive a credit against Base Rent in the amount of $15,827.60 for each day thereafter until the date Landlord delivers possession of the Premises with Landlord’s Work Substantially Complete. The credits due under the prior two sentences shall be applied against the Base Rent initially due hereunder and shall continue until exhausted, and thereafter Tenant shall commence payment of Base Rent. In addition, if Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant with Landlord’s Work Substantially Complete on or before May 1, 2015 (subject to Tenant Delay or an event of Force Majeure), then Tenant, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the option at any time

Tenant shall, at is sole cost and expense, faithfully observe and promptly comply with all Rules and Regulations, any Laws or Matters of Record in force as of November 22, 2013 (the “Title Date”) or which may thereafter be in force, with respect to Tenant's use, occupancy and possession of the Premises, provided that Tenant shall have no obligation to (i) improve or alter the Base Systems or structure of the Building unless such changes are required due to Tenant’s particular use or improvement of the Premises, or (ii) correct any violation of the foregoing existing as of the Commencement Date, and provided further that Tenant shall have the right to reasonably approve the terms of any Matters of Record after the Title Date that adversely impact the Premises or adversely affect Tenant’s rights or result in an increase in cost to Tenant under this Lease that is more than de minimis (it being acknowledged and agreed that easements/declarations pertaining to sidewalks, access and street lights/traffic signals for the Project or licenses pertaining to the continuing construction of the Project shall not be subject to Tenant’s prior consent unless the same would materially increase the cost to Tenant under this Lease or materially impact Tenant’s use of or access to the Premises). Tenant shall at all times keep the Premises in a clean condition, and shall further comply with all requirements of any board of fire underwriters or other similar body now or hereafter constituted. In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for any damage or claims suffered or incurred as a result of the failure of Tenant, or any other Person (other than Landlord) to conform to the foregoing.
2.9 Changes to Project. Landlord reserves the right, in its sole discretion, at any time to make permanent or temporary changes or replacements to the Project (other than the Building), including but not limited to the Common Areas (except as limited in Section 2.3 above). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such construction activities may include base building and/or tenant improvement work for future tenants. Landlord's activities may require the temporary alteration of means of ingress and egress to the Project and the installation of scaffolding and other temporary structures while the work is in progress. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and the rights of Tenant under this Lease, Tenant acknowledges that Landlord may be improving spaces for other tenants in the Project during Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises. Any exercise of Landlord’s rights hereunder shall be performed in a manner designed to minimize noise, dust and interference with Tenant’s conduct of business from the Premises. Provided Landlord complies with the requirements of the foregoing sentence, none of the same shall be considered to be a constructive eviction of Tenant from the Premises, or otherwise alter the rights or obligations (including Rent) of Tenant under this Lease, subject to Tenant’s rights to abatement set forth below.
2.10 Name of Project. Landlord may change the name and/or the address of the Project at its sole discretion.

From and after the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Base Rent specified in Section 1.7, in advance on or before the first day of each calendar month during the Term without demand, deduction or setoff, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. If the Rent Commencement Date shall be a day other than the first day of a month, then the first and last monthly installment of Base Rent shall be prorated on the basis of a thirty (30) day month.

3.2.1 All personal property taxes assessed against and levied upon any Personal Property owned by Tenant prior to delinquency.
3.2.2 All costs of electricity, telephone service, water, gas, HVAC, refuse removal, janitorial and other utility, and repair and maintenance costs relating to the Premises, as set forth in Section 5.1 below.
3.2.3 Tenant's Proportionate Share of the CAM/Operating Costs incurred during the Term, payable in accordance with Section 3.3 (except that Tenant shall have no obligation with respect to the same for the period from the Commencement Date through the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Rent Commencement Date (the “CAM Commencement Date”).
3.2.4 All Excess Consideration pursuant to Section 7.7 hereof.
3.2.5 All additional charges for any services, goods or materials furnished by Landlord at Tenant's request or relating to Tenant’s specific use (as opposed to general office use) of the Premises.
3.2.6 All other sums payable by Tenant hereunder.
3.3 Payment of CAM/Operating Costs. In addition to the Base Rent, commencing on the CAM Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay in monthly installments an amount equal to Tenant's Proportionate Share of the CAM/Operating Costs for such year in accordance with the following provisions:
3.3.1 Following the end of each calendar year (from and after the end of the calendar year in which the CAM Commencement Date occurs), Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a good faith estimate of Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the CAM/Operating Costs for the next calendar year (the "Expense Estimate"). The Expense Estimate shall show the amount previously paid by Tenant for CAM/Operating Costs for the previous calendar year. In addition to the Base Rent provided for in Section 3.1, above, on the first day of each calendar month during each calendar year, Tenant shall pay one-twelfth (1/12) of the Expense Estimate for said calendar year.
3.3.2 Landlord may periodically revise the Expense Estimate to reflect changed circumstances, and Tenant shall make subsequent Operating Cost payments based upon the revised Expense Estimate.
7
3.3.3 Within ninety (90) days after each calendar year in the Term, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of the actual CAM/Operating Costs (the "Annual Statement"). The Annual Statement shall state the amount by which Tenant has underpaid or overpaid Tenant's Proportionate Share of the CAM/Operating Costs. Tenant shall pay any deficiency to Landlord within 30 days after receipt of the Annual Statement. The amount of any overpayment shall be refunded to Tenant or, if the Lease Term has not expired, credited against Rent next coming due.
3.3.4 Tenant shall have one hundred eighty (180) days after delivery of the Annual Statement to object in writing to the accuracy of the Annual Statement. If Tenant does not make its written objection within that period, the Annual Statement shall be binding upon Tenant. Whether or not Tenant objects to the Annual Statement, Tenant shall pay any amount specified in the Annual Statement within the sixty (60) day period following the delivery of the Annual Statement. See Exhibit “H”.
3.3.5 Intentionally Omitted.
3.3.6 Even though the Term has expired or this Lease has been terminated and Tenant has vacated the Premises, when the final determination is made of Tenant's Proportionate Share of CAM/Operating Costs pursuant to this Section 3.3 for the year in which the Term expires or this Lease terminates, Tenant shall promptly pay any amount due over the estimated amount of the same previously paid by Tenant for such year within thirty (30) days after issuance of the final Annual Statement, and conversely, any overpayment made shall be refunded by Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days; provided, however, that all or any part of any such refund may be applied by Landlord in payment of any delinquent or past due sums, including Base Rent or any other amounts due from Tenant as set forth hereunder.
3.3.7 Landlord and Tenant are knowledgeable and experienced in commercial transactions and agree that the provisions set forth in this Lease for determining charges, amounts and additional rent payable by Tenant are commercially reasonable and valid even though such methods may not state a precise mathematical formula for determining such charges.
3.4 Late Charges. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent or other sums due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed upon Landlord by the terms of any mortgage or trust deed covering the Premises. Accordingly, if any installment of Rent or any sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord or Landlord's designee when due and such failure continues for more than ten (10) days after written notice to Tenant (the parties’ hereby acknowledging that Landlord shall have no obligation to give more than one such written notice per Lease Year during the Term before imposing the following interest and fees), then, in addition to all other remedies provided herein, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to the greater of (i) three (3%) percent of such overdue amount (but in no event greater than the maximum amount permitted by law), or (ii) a service charge equal to the sum of $50.00 plus $10.00 per day for each day after the due date for which Tenant's failure to pay continues, plus all reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred due to Tenant’s failure to timely pay. The parties hereby agree that such late charges represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the cost that Landlord will incur by reason of the late payment by Tenant, and that it does not constitute a forfeiture or
8
penalty. Acceptance of such late charges by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant's default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder. Landlord may, at its option, include all late charges accrued during any calendar year in the estimated charges to be paid by Tenant for the ensuing year.
SECTION 4: ALTERATION AND IMPROVEMENTS.
4.1 Alterations by Tenant. At its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall have the right to make Tenant Alterations which have received Landlord's prior written approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, so long as each of the following conditions is met:

Tenant is encouraged to utilize responsible contractors (as defined in the Responsible Contractor Program Policy attached hereto as Exhibit C-1);
4.1.4 Landlord shall have been furnished with original certificates of insurance from a company reasonably approved by Landlord, showing Landlord as an additional insured on public liability, automobile liability, property damage, and worker's compensation policies, with such limits as Landlord may reasonably require; and

9
4.2.1 All work shall be in compliance with all Laws. Any work not acceptable to any governmental authority or agency having jurisdiction over such work shall be promptly corrected by Tenant at Tenant's expense.
4.2.2 Tenant and Tenant's Employees shall not install plumbing, mechanical, electrical wiring or fixtures, ceilings, partitions, or other alterations which, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, are not consistent with the Permitted Use and would materially adversely affect any of the Project systems or their performance (including, but not limited to, the heating, ventilating and air-conditioning systems).
4.2.3 All work by Tenant and Tenant's Employees shall be performed diligently until completed and pursuant to any scheduling requirements reasonably imposed by Landlord.
4.2.4 All work by Tenant relating to Project systems such as electrical, HVAC, plumbing, water, gas, or the exterior of the Project shall be performed by subcontractors approved or designated by Landlord, provided such subcontractors perform such work at commercially reasonable rates.
4.3 No Liability of Landlord. Landlord shall have no liability for any faulty work or defect regardless of Landlord's approval of Tenant Alterations or plans and specifications.
4.4 Reimbursement to Landlord. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any commercially reasonable out-of-pocket expense actually incurred by Landlord in approving the plans and specifications for Tenant Alterations and in reviewing the progress of their construction and any expense actually incurred by Landlord by reason of inadequate cleanup.
4.5 Property of Landlord. All Tenant Alterations shall remain in the Premises at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, and shall become the property of Landlord at expiration or earlier termination, without any compensation to Tenant, provided, however, at Landlord’s written election exercised (if at all) at the time of Landlord’s approval pursuant to Section 4.1 above, Tenant shall remove any or all Specialty Alterations from the Premises (as defined below), and Tenant shall repair any damage caused by the removal. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall remove its Personal Property from the Premises and Tenant shall repair any damage caused by such removal. As used herein, "Specialty Alterations" shall mean any Tenant Alterations that, in Landlord's reasonable judgment, are unusually difficult or expensive to remove, including, but not limited to, kitchens (other than pantries), cafeterias, vaults, private restrooms, reinforced security areas, staircases, raised or above-slab reinforced flooring, and slab cuts.
4.6 Mechanics’ Liens. Tenant shall pay for all labor and materials supplied to the Premises for Tenant. Tenant shall not permit any mechanics’ or similar liens to be filed against the Land or the Project, or against Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Premises. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord, its partners and its and their respective successors, assigns, partners, directors, officers, shareholders, employees, agents, lenders, ground lessors and attorneys, and the Project, from and against any and all Claims incurred by such indemnified persons, or any of them, as the result of any mechanics’ lien filed against the Land, Project or against Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Premises as a result of Tenant Alterations. If Tenant causes a lien on the Project, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, either (i) remove such lien or (ii) provide a bond in accordance with applicable Law. No action
10
to remove a lien, as provided herein, shall affect Tenant’s right to contest the legitimacy of the lien and seek appropriate legal remedies against the party placing such lien on the Project.
4.7 No Consent Alterations. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, Landlord's consent shall not be required (but Tenant shall provide Landlord with at least ten (10) days’ prior notice) for any Tenant Alteration that (X) is merely decorative or cosmetic in nature (i.e., painting, flooring, etc.) or (Y) (i) is not structural and does not adversely affect the Base Systems (as defined in Section 5.2 below), and (ii) is expected to cost less than $50,000.00 per full floor of the Premises, but such Tenant Alteration shall otherwise be performed in accordance with the requirements of this Section 4, other than obligations for consent and approval.
SECTION 5: REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE.
5.1 Tenant's Obligations. Tenant shall keep the interior of the Premises including the Systems and Equipment exclusively serving the Premises, excepting only structural portions of the Premises described in Section 5.2 below and Base Systems, in substantially the same condition as exists on the Commencement Date, reasonable wear and tear, damage by fire or other casualty excepted, and all signs installed by Tenant in good condition and repair, whether or not the need for such repairs occurs as a result of Tenant's use, any prior use, the elements or the age of such portion of the Premises. Tenant shall obtain and keep in effect during the term of this Lease a service contract for repair and maintenance of the heating, air conditioning and ventilating system (the “HVAC System”) exclusively serving the Premises, said maintenance contract to conform to the requirements under the warranty, if any, on said HVAC System and otherwise to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. A duplicate copy of such contract and any amendments or renewals thereof shall be delivered by Tenant to Landlord within five (5) days after Landlord’s request. Landlord agrees that during the period in which any warranties are in force with respect to portions of the Premises which Tenant is obligated to repair and maintain, Landlord shall transfer its rights under such warranties to Tenant, or if such warranties cannot be transferred, Landlord shall use good faith efforts to enforce its rights under such warranties for the benefit of Tenant. All damage to the Premises, the Building, or the Project caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant's Employees, or the failure of Tenant or Tenant's Employees to comply with this Lease or the Rules and Regulations, shall be promptly repaired by Tenant at Tenant's expense, subject to Section 8.3 below.
5.2 Landlord's Obligations. Landlord shall maintain and repair the Common Areas, and the structural elements of the Building (including the maintenance and repair of the roof, roof skin, utility lines outside the Premises, gutters, downspouts, floor slab and load bearing and exterior windows and walls) and those Systems and Equipment which do not exclusively serve the Premises (the “Base Systems”), as well as landscaping around the Building, in good condition and repair and in compliance with Law, but any damage or wear and tear to the same which is the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or Tenant's Employees shall be at Tenant’s expense, subject to Section 8.3 below. Landlord’s obligations under this Section 5.2 shall not affect Landlord’s right to recover from Tenant the costs for any damage or repair to the Project for which Tenant is liable hereunder.
SECTION 6: UTILITIES AND TRASH REMOVAL.
6.1 Separate Metering. Tenant shall apply to the applicable utility company or municipality for all gas, water, telephone and all other utility services required by Tenant for use
11
in the Premises. Tenant promptly shall pay the applicable utility company or municipality directly for all water, gas, heat, light, electricity, sewer charges, rubbish removal, telephone service and all other services and utilities which may from time to time be supplied to the Premises, together with any and all taxes thereon. Landlord shall cause utilities serving the Premises to be separately metered at Landlord’s expense prior to the Commencement Date; provided that if Tenant requires sub-metering in connection with Tenant’s particular needs (i.e., service room), Tenant shall be required to install such sub-metering at Tenant’s cost. If any such services are not separately metered or charged to Tenant, Tenant shall pay a reasonable proportion, to be reasonably determined by Landlord, of all charges jointly metered with other premises. If any such utility charges and expenses are not paid when due, Landlord may, but shall not be required to, pay the same, and any amount so paid by Landlord, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date paid until the date of reimbursement by Tenant, shall thereupon become due to Landlord from Tenant as Additional Rent. Any and all utility connection fees and permits or assessments required by Tenant for its use or occupancy of, in, on or from the Premises shall be paid by Tenant at its sole cost and expense. Except to the extent caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors, Landlord shall not be liable in damages or otherwise to any person or entity for any failure or interruption of any utility service being furnished to the Premises, and no such failure or interruption shall entitle Tenant to terminate this Lease or entitle Tenant to receive any abatement of the Rent, except as expressly provided below. Tenant shall not contract to obtain electricity from any other provider.
6.2 Interruption. No interruption or malfunction of any utility or other services provided to the Premises shall constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant's use and possession of the Premises or a breach by Landlord of any of its obligations hereunder, nor render Landlord liable for damages (unless caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors) or entitle Tenant to be relieved from any of its obligations under this Lease, specifically including, but not limited to, Tenant's obligation to pay Rent except as provided below. In the event of any such interruption, however, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable diligence to restore such service if such service is to be provided by Landlord pursuant to the express terms of this Lease or Landlord’s causes such interruption or malfunction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Landlord is unable to furnish any services required under this Lease, or Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors cause an interruption or malfunction of any utility or service, and such inability, interruption or malfunction interferes with (i) Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises, (ii) the parking rights granted hereunder, or (iii) Tenant’s means of access to the Premises, and such interruption continues for a period of more than three (3) business days, the Base Rent and Additional Rent due hereunder shall abate commencing on the fourth (4th) business day for such time that Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises or a portion thereof, in the proportion that the rentable area of the portion of the Premises that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, bears to the total rentable area of the Premises; provided, however, in the event that Tenant is prevented from using, and does not use, a portion of the Premises and the remaining portion of the Premises is not sufficient to allow Tenant to effectively conduct its business therein, and if Tenant does not conduct its business from such remaining portion, then for such time during which Tenant is so prevented from effectively conducting its business therein, the Rent for the entire Premises shall be abated for such time as Tenant continues to be so prevented from using, and does not use, the Premises. If, however, Tenant reoccupies any portion of the Premises during such period, the Rent allocable to such reoccupied portion, based on the proportion that the rentable area of such reoccupied portion of the Premises bears to the total rentable area of the Premises, shall be payable by Tenant from the date Tenant reoccupies such portion of the Premises. Such right to abate Rent
12
shall be Tenant's sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity for an Abatement Event, except as otherwise provided in Sections 9 and 10 of this Lease. Except as provided in this Section, nothing contained herein shall be interpreted to mean that Tenant is excused from paying Rent due hereunder.
6.3 Trash Removal. Tenant will store its refuse in the Premises in an orderly manner and will from time to time remove such refuse and transport it only to the receptacle designated for Tenant’s use, in the designated waste retrieval area of the Building, and in compliance with all Rules and Regulations.

7.1 Restriction on Assignment and Subletting. Tenant shall not, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, make any Transfer without obtaining Landlord's written approval except as expressly permitted below. Tenant shall provide Landlord with prior written notice ("Transfer Notice") of the proposed Transfer, containing the items specified in Section 7.2 below. Landlord's written approval of a Transfer shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (except that Landlord shall have the right to exercise its sole, arbitrary and independent discretion, and not to act unreasonably, in respect of any request for consent to a lien, mortgage, deed of trust, encumbrance or hypothecation against the Premises, the Project or this Lease or Tenant’s interests hereunder). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to Transfer (through one or more Transfers) portions of the Premises not to exceed 15,000 rentable square feet in each instance without Landlord approval, provided Tenant (i) remains liable hereunder, and (ii) notifies Landlord of the same prior to commencement of the term of such Transfer. Except as set forth above, any such attempted Transfer without the approval of the Landlord where approval is required shall be null and void and of no effect. Tenant shall, on demand of Landlord, reimburse Landlord for all Landlord's reasonable out-of-pocket costs, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by Landlord in obtaining advice, reviewing documents, and preparing documentation for each requested Transfer, not to exceed $1,500 with respect to each Transfer.

13
Landlord shall respond to a request for consent within fifteen (15) days of receipt of a Transfer Notice.
7.3 Entity Tenant. If Tenant is a corporation the stock of which is not publicly traded on a national securities exchange, or is a limited liability company, partnership or unincorporated association or other entity, the transfer, assignment or hypothecation of any stock, membership or partnership interest or other direct or indirect interest in Tenant or its assets in the aggregate in excess of fifty percent (50%) or a transfer of voting control shall be deemed a Transfer within the meaning of this Article 7, subject to Section 7.4 below.
7.4 Permitted Transfers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, neither (i) an assignment or transfer of this Lease as a result of, or in connection with, a merger, a consolidation, public offering, and/or sale of all or substantially all of Tenant's or an Affiliate's capital stock, ownership interests, and/or assets, nor (ii) an assignment of this Lease or a sublease of all or a portion of the Premises to an Affiliate of Tenant (each of subsections (i) and (ii) a "Permitted Transfer"), shall be deemed a Transfer or require the prior consent of Landlord. The foregoing Permitted Transfers shall not be subject to the payment of any transfer premium (as set forth in Section 7.7, below) or a recapture (as set forth in Section 7.8 below); provided, however, the same shall not be binding on Landlord until a fully executed copy of such assignment and/or assumption of this Lease by the assignee shall have been delivered to Landlord; and, further, provided, that: (a) Tenant shall not then be in Default under this Lease; (b) in the case of an assignment, the succeeding entity shall assume in writing all of the obligations of this Lease thereafter arising on the part of Tenant and carry on the Permitted Use; (c) such entity has sufficient resources to support its obligations under this Lease; (d) in the case of (ii) above, any such assignee in possession of the Premises shall, during such possession, remain an Affiliate of Tenant; and (e) such assignment or transfer shall in no manner relieve Tenant of any of the obligations undertaken by it under this Lease. Tenant shall submit such information as Landlord may reasonably require concerning all of the foregoing for Landlord's files.
7.5 Reasonable Disapproval. Landlord shall not be deemed to have unreasonably withheld approval a Transfer if consent to such Transfer does not satisfy any of the following conditions:
7.5.1 The proposed Transferee must be reputable and of good character.
7.5.2 The resources of the proposed Transferee shall be sufficient to support the obligations of such party imposed under the terms of the Transfer Documents.
7.5.3 Any assignee must assume Tenant's obligations thereafter arising under the Lease.
7.5.4 The proposed Transferee shall not be a governmental entity or agency.
7.5.5 There does not then exist any Default by Tenant.
7.5.6 The proposed Transferee is not a tenant in the Project or currently negotiating with Landlord for a lease of space within the Project, nor has the proposed Transferee negotiated with Landlord for a lease of space within the Project during the immediately preceding six (6) months, provided Landlord then has comparable space available for lease for a comparable term.
14
7.6 Continuing Obligations. Notwithstanding any Transfer, Tenant and any Guarantor shall remain fully liable for the performance of all obligations contained in this Lease. Any act or omission of a Transferee that violates any Lease obligations for beyond applicable notice and cure periods shall be a Default by Tenant.
7.7 Transfer Premium. In the event of a Transfer, fifty percent (50%) of the Excess Consideration received by Tenant, from or in respect of such Transfer shall be paid to Landlord (which amount is to be prorated where a part of the Premises is subleased) as Additional Rent. Tenant shall pay Landlord’s share of the Excess Consideration to Landlord at the end of each calendar year during which Tenant collects any Excess Consideration. Each payment shall be sent with a detailed statement showing: (i) the total consideration paid by the sublessee or assignee and/or received by Tenant; and (ii) any exclusions from the Excess Consideration permitted by this Paragraph. Landlord shall have the right to audit Tenant’s books and records to verify the amount of Excess Consideration due to Landlord and the accuracy of the statement required herein. The term "Excess Consideration" shall mean all Rent or other payments (consideration) received by Tenant from an assignment or sublease that is in excess of the Rent than payable by Tenant under this Lease, after deducting reasonable leasing commissions paid by Tenant and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses paid by Tenant directly related to obtaining a sublessee or assignee (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and the cost of reasonable and customary tenant improvements).
7.8 Recapture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease if the entire Premises is sought to be transferred. If Landlord exercises its right to terminate this Lease under this Section 7.8, Landlord shall be free to lease the Premises or any portion thereof (or of other premises within the Project) to any third party, including, without limitation, any third party identified by Tenant in its Transfer Notice, and Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation, or to any portion of the Rent or other consideration received by Landlord from such third party or otherwise, as a result thereof. Furthermore, Landlord’s exercise of its termination right shall not be construed to impose any liability on Landlord with respect to any real estate brokerage, finders’, or other fee, commission or other compensation that Tenant may incur in connection with its proposed transaction.
7.9 Landlord's Rights to Transfer. Landlord shall have the right to sell, transfer, hypothecate or assign all of its rights and obligations under this Lease. Upon the transfer of all of Landlord's interest under this Lease, all liabilities and other obligations of the Landlord arising on or after the date of the transfer shall be the sole responsibility of the transferee. The transferor is hereby released from any claim with respect thereto upon the assumption of the obligations of Landlord hereunder by the transferee.

In case of any claim, demand, action or cause of action, threatened in writing or actual, against Tenant, upon notice from Tenant, Landlord shall defend Tenant at Landlord’s expense by counsel reasonably satisfactory to Tenant (or as required by Landlord’s insurer). If Landlord does not provide such a defense against any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action, threatened in writing or actual, then Landlord shall, in addition to the above, pay Tenant the reasonable expenses and costs incurred by Tenant in providing and preparing such defense, and Landlord agrees to cooperate with Tenant in such defense, including, but not limited to, the providing of affidavits and testimony upon request of Tenant.

8.7 Tenant's Assumption of Risk. Tenant, as a material part of the consideration to Landlord, hereby assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons, in the Premises from any cause, and Tenant hereby waives all related claims against Landlord, except to the extent of the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord but subject to Section 8.4 above. Without implying any obligation of Landlord or Landlord's Employees to accept any of Tenant's property for safekeeping, Landlord and Landlord's Employees shall not be liable for any damages to property entrusted to Landlord or Landlord's Employees, nor for loss of or damage to any property in or about the Premises by theft or otherwise, nor for any injury or damage to persons or property resulting from any cause whatsoever other than tangible losses to Personal Property or injury to persons to the extent caused by the negligence of Landlord or Landlord's Employees. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord in case of fire or accidents in the Premises.

Each party hereby agrees that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, the other shall not be liable for any injury to its business or any loss of income therefrom or for any other consequential, special or punitive damages from any cause whatsoever, except that the foregoing shall not excuse Tenant from such liability under Section 16.3 of this Lease.
SECTION 9: DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION.
9.1 Damage Generally. If any part of the Premises or the Project is damaged by fire or other casualty and the damage affects Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises, Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord. Unless the event giving rise to the loss was uninsurable, Landlord shall repair any damage to the Premises with reasonable diligence. If any part of the Premises is rendered untenantable, then the Rent hereunder shall thereafter abate in proportion to the rentable area of the Premises rendered untenantable until the date when such part of the Premises shall have been delivered to Tenant with Landlord having completed its obligations hereunder. The foregoing abatement shall not apply in the event the giving rise to the casualty was due to the intentional act of Tenant. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant resulting from such damage or repair, construction or restoration. Tenant waives the provisions of any Law allowing Tenant to make repairs and deduct the cost thereof from any Rent. Except as provided herein, Landlord shall restore or repair the Premises diligently and to their condition immediately prior to the damage. Landlord shall not be liable for delays in repair or restoration caused by Force Majeure.
9.2 Exceptions to Obligation to Rebuild. Despite Section 9.1, this Lease may be terminated by Landlord in any of the following situations:
9.2.1 If all available insurance proceeds plus any applicable deductible are less than 100% of the cost of restoration (provided that such shall only apply if Landlord maintained all insurance required hereunder at the time of the loss);
9.2.2 If the damage to the Project or Premises is caused by the intentional act of Tenant or any of Tenant's Employees in the course of their duties;
18
9.2.3 If existing Law does not permit the Premises to be restored to substantially the same condition as they were in immediately before the destruction.
Any such election to terminate this Lease shall be exercised by notice from Landlord to Tenant served by the later of sixty (60) days after the date of the damage. The notice shall specify the date of termination, which shall be at least thirty (30) days after notice is given. In the event Landlord gives such notice of termination, this Lease shall terminate as of the date specified, and all Rent (to the extent not otherwise abated) shall be prorated to the later of the date of termination or Tenant’s vacation of the Premises. To the extent other similarly situated leases exist, such termination rights of Landlord shall not be exercised unless and until such leases are also terminated.
9.3 Extent of Landlord's Obligation to Repair. Subject to Landlord's right to terminate as set forth above, Landlord shall make repairs to the Building and the Premises at Landlord's expense, including restoration of the Tenant Improvements pursuant to Exhibit "C" hereto, but the Personal Property and restoration of any Tenant Alterations shall be the sole obligation of Tenant. Tenant shall commence such repair and restoration and the installation of its stock-in-trade, fixtures, furniture, furnishings and equipment promptly upon delivery to it of possession of the Premises and shall diligently prosecute any such work and installation to completion. Tenant shall undertake the repair and restoration of Tenant Personal Property in a diligent, first-class manner.
9.4 Tenant’s Termination Right. In case of any damage or destruction to the Premises or in the case of any damage or destruction to the Building that results in Tenant not being able to reasonably access the Premises or services being unavailable to the Premises, Tenant may cancel this Lease by written notice to Landlord, if (i) within two hundred seventy (270) days from the date of damage or destruction Landlord does not complete restoration of the Premises and the Building to the condition which existed prior to the damage or destruction; or (ii) Landlord's restoration is estimated to take longer than two hundred seventy (270) days from the date of the damage or destruction, as reasonably estimated by a reputable independent third-party licensed engineer or architect selected by Landlord, which estimate shall be provided by Landlord to Tenant within sixty (60) days of the date of such casualty.
9.5 Near End of Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9, each party shall have the right to terminate this Lease in the event of a casualty during the last 12-months of the Term which is expected to cost more than $1,000,000 to repair, such right to cancel this Lease must be exercised within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such damage or destruction.
SECTION 10: CONDEMNATION AND OTHER TAKINGS.
10.1 Condemnation. If any material part of the Project shall be taken for public or quasi-public use by the right of eminent domain, or if the same is transferred by agreement in connection with such public or quasi-public use or under threat of eminent domain (collectively, a "Taking"), Landlord shall have the option, exercisable within thirty (30) days after the effective date of the Taking, to terminate this Lease as of the date possession is acquired by the condemning authority if such Taking with render the operation of the remaining portion of the Project uneconomic. Tenant may terminate this Lease by reason of a Taking if, and only if, there is a Taking of a portion of the Premises to such an extent to substantially impair Tenant's use of the Premises. Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease following any Taking except as set forth in the preceding sentence. Tenant hereby waives the benefit of any Law to
19
the contrary, it being the intent of the parties hereto that the terms of this Lease shall govern in the event of any Taking.
10.2 Partial Taking. In the event of a Taking of a portion of the Premises which does not result in a termination of this Lease under Section 10.1 above, Base Rent shall be equitably abated based on the square footage that is subject to the Taking.
10.3 Restoration. In the event of a Taking of a portion of the Premises which does not result in a termination of this Lease under Section 10.1 above, Landlord shall proceed to restore the remaining portion of the Premises (including the Tenant Improvements pursuant to Exhibit "C" hereto), but excluding any of the Personal Property or Tenant Alterations) as nearly as practicable to its condition prior to the Taking. However, Landlord shall be obligated to restore at its expense as provided herein only to the extent of condemnation proceeds awarded in connection with the Taking and allocated to restoration costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the costs of restoration exceed the portion of the condemnation award allocated to restoration costs, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease unless Tenant elects to pay such excess.
10.4 Award. In the event of any Taking of all or a part of the Project, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award in the condemnation proceedings, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord, any and all right, title and interest of Tenant in or to any such award, and Tenant shall be entitled to receive no part of such award. Despite the foregoing, Tenant shall not be precluded from claiming from the condemning authority any compensation to which Tenant may otherwise lawfully be entitled in respect of Tenant's tangible Personal Property, or for relocating to new space, or for the unamortized portion of any tenant improvements installed in the Premises to the extent they were paid for by Tenant, so long as the same does not reduce the amount of any award payable to Landlord.
SECTION 11: DEFAULT BY TENANT.
The occurrence of any one or more of the following shall be deemed a "Default" by Tenant and a material breach of this Lease:
11.1 Nonpayment of Rent. Tenant's failure to pay any Rent due or to make any other monetary payment imposed under the terms of this Lease when due and such failure continues for a period of ten (10) days after receipt of notice from Landlord.
11.2 Other Obligations. Tenant's failure to perform any other obligation under this Lease (including the Rules and Regulations) for thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord; however, if more than thirty (30) days are reasonably required for cure, Tenant shall not be in default hereunder if Tenant shall promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord's notice except in case of emergency) commence the cure of the default and diligently prosecute the same to completion, so long as cure is substantially completed within ninety (90) days after receipt of Landlord's notice.
11.3 General Assignment. A general assignment by Tenant or any Guarantor for the benefit of creditors.
11.4 Bankruptcy. The filing of any voluntary petition in bankruptcy by Tenant or any Guarantor, or the filing of an involuntary petition by Tenant's creditors or the creditors of any Guarantor, which involuntary petition remains undischarged for a period of 60 days. In the event that under any Law the trustee in bankruptcy or Tenant has the right to affirm this Lease
20
and continue to perform the obligations of Tenant hereunder, such trustee or Tenant shall, in such time period as may be permitted by the bankruptcy court having jurisdiction, cure all Defaults of Tenant outstanding as of the date of the affirmance of this Lease and provide to Landlord such adequate assurances as may be necessary to ensure Landlord of the continued performance of Tenant's obligation under this Lease.
11.5 Receivership. The employment of a receiver to take possession of substantially all of the assets and business of Tenant or any Guarantor or the Premises, if such receivership remains undissolved for a period of 30 days after creation thereof.
11.6 Attachment. The attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant or any Guarantor or the Premises, if such attachment or other seizure remains undismissed or undischarged for a period of 30 days after the levy thereof.
11.7 Insolvency. The admission by Tenant or any Guarantor in writing of its inability to pay its debts as they become due, the filing by Tenant or any Guarantor of a petition seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future Law providing for debtor relief, the filing by Tenant or any Guarantor of an answer admitting or failing timely to contest a material allegation of a petition filed against Tenant or any Guarantor in any such proceeding or, if within 30 days after the commencement of any proceeding against Tenant or any Guarantor seeking any reorganization, or arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future Law, such proceeding shall not have been dismissed.
Any notice given pursuant to this Section 11 is in lieu of any written notice required by statute or Law, and Tenant waives (to the fullest extent permitted by law) the giving of any notice other than that provided for in this Section 11. To the extent the foregoing is not permitted by law, any notice under this Section 11 shall run concurrently with, and not in addition to, any similar time periods prescribed by applicable law.
SECTION 12: LANDLORD'S REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT.
12.1 Remedies. In the event of a Default by Tenant, Landlord may, in addition to all other rights and remedies afforded Landlord hereunder or by law or equity, take any of the following actions:
12.1.1 Landlord may terminate this Lease and without further notice repossess the Premises by picking or changing locks to the Premises or otherwise provided the same is in accordance with applicable Law, and be entitled to recover as damages a sum of money equal to the total of (i) the cost of recovering the Premises, (ii) the unpaid rent earned at the time of termination, (iii) the balance of the rent for the remainder of the term, less the then fair market rental value under this Lease for the balance of the term, and (iv) any other sum of money and damages owed by Tenant to Landlord.
12.1.2 Landlord may immediately terminate Tenant’s right of possession of the Premises, but not terminate this Lease, and without notice or demand enter upon the Premises or any part thereof and take absolute possession of the same, pick or change the locks provided in accordance with applicable Law, and, at Landlord’s sole option may relet the Premises or any part thereof for such terms and such rents as Landlord may reasonably elect. In the event Landlord shall elect to so relet, then rent received by
21
Landlord from such reletting shall be applied first to the payment of any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord, second to the payment of any reasonable cost of such reletting, including, without limitation, alteration and refurbishing costs and leasing commissions, and third to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder, and Tenant shall satisfy and pay any deficiency upon demand therefor from time to time. In no event will Landlord be obligated to pay to Tenant any excess rent received from reletting. Tenant further agrees that Landlord may file suit to recover any sums due under the terms of this Lease and that no recovery of any portion due Landlord hereunder shall be any defense to any subsequent action brought for any amount not previously reduced to judgment in favor of Landlord. Reletting of the Premises shall not be construed as an election on the part of Landlord to terminate this Lease and, notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for default.
12.1.3 Landlord may offset against any security deposits held by Landlord for any non-payment of rent or any damage to the Premises.
12.1.4 Landlord may enter upon the Premises and do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of this Lease and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord on demand for any reasonable expenses which Landlord may incur in effecting compliance with Tenant’s obligation under this Lease, and Tenant further agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any damages resulting to Tenant from such action.
12.1.5 To the extent permitted by applicable Law, Landlord may alter all locks and other security devices at the Premises, with or without terminating this Lease, and pursue, at Landlord's option, any other available remedies. Landlord shall not be required to provide to Tenant the new key to the Premises, regardless of hour, including Tenant's regular business hours until such time as the Default is cured.
12.2 Mitigation of Damages. In the event of a Default, Landlord agrees to use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises, but it is understood and agreed that:
12.2.1 Landlord may reasonably elect to lease other comparable, available space in the Project, if any, before reletting the Premises.
12.2.2 Landlord may reasonably decline to incur out-of-pocket costs to relet the Premises, other than customary leasing commissions and legal fees for the negotiation of a lease with a new tenant.
12.2.3 Landlord may reasonably decline to relet the Premises at rental rates below then prevailing market rental rates, because of the negative impact lower rental rates would have on the value of the Project and because of the uncertainty of actually receiving from Tenant the greater damages that Landlord would suffer from and after reletting at the lower rates.
12.2.4 Before reletting the Premises to a prospective tenant, Landlord may reasonably require the prospective tenant to demonstrate the same financial wherewithal that Landlord would require as a condition to leasing other space in the Project to a prospective tenant.
22
12.2.5 Identifying a prospective tenant to relet the Premises, negotiating a new lease with such tenant, and making the Premises ready for such tenant will take time, depending upon market conditions when the Premises first become available for reletting, and during which time it cannot be reasonably expected for Landlord to collect anything from reletting.
SECTION 13: LANDLORD'S DEFAULT.
13.1 Right to Cure. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default in the performance of any obligation required of it under this Lease until it has failed to perform such obligation within 30 days after receipt by Landlord of written notice from Tenant to Landlord, specifying the obligation in question and the manner in which Landlord has failed to perform the obligation. If the nature of Landlord's obligation is such that more than 30 days are reasonably required for its performance, Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences to cure the default within the 30 day period and proceeds to completion with reasonable promptness. If Landlord fails to perform any obligation under this Lease which obligation is material to Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises and such failure continues for more than thirty (30) days after written notice from Tenant (provided that, if correction of such failure reasonably requires a period longer than thirty (30) days, and if Landlord commences such correction within thirty (30) days and prosecutes such correction to completion with diligence and continuity, Landlord shall be allowed such longer period as may be reasonably necessary to complete such correction), Tenant may, upon Landlord’s failure to cure such failure within five (5) days of Landlord’s receipt of a second written notice from Tenant written in bolded and capital letters that constitutes a SECOND NOTICE, but shall not be obligated to, cure any such failure, and all reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred by Tenant in curing such failure (including, without limitation, reasonably attorneys’ fees and interest on such costs and expenses at an annual rate equal to the Default Rate shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant within thirty (30) days after Landlord receives a written bill from the Tenant. If Landlord fails to reimburse Tenant for any such costs and expenses not disputed by Landlord within thirty (30) days after Landlord receives a written demand therefor, Tenant shall have the right to apply such amounts as a credit against payments of Base Rent and Additional Rent due from Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, provided in no event shall such offset on a monthly basis exceed one-half of the Monthly Base Rent owing hereunder. If Landlord reasonably disputes the amount of Tenant’s costs, the parties shall refer the matter to expedited arbitration, in accordance with the terms of Section 55 of Exhibit “H.”
13.2 Tenant's Remedies.

In the event of Landlord's failure or refusal to consent or approve of any matter requested by Tenant, the parties shall refer the matter to expedited arbitration in accordance with the terms of Section 55 of Exhibit “H”.
13.3 Notice to Lenders. Tenant agrees to give all Lenders, by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, a copy of any notice of default served upon Landlord, provided that prior to such obligation to give notice, Tenant has been notified, in writing delivered to Tenant (by way of Notice of Assignment of Rents and Leases, or otherwise), of the addresses of the Lenders.
SECTION 14: SUBORDINATION AND ATTORNMENT.
23
14.1 Subordination. Subject to the provisions of Section 14.4 below, this Lease and the rights of Tenant hereunder shall be and are hereby made subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of any Mortgage now or hereafter existing, and to the lien of all advances made or hereafter to be made against or to protect the security thereof. If requested by Landlord, Tenant agrees to execute and deliver to Landlord, within 10 days after written demand therefor, an agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord's Lender and Tenant, or such further instruments confirming Tenant’s attornment and the subordination of this Lease to the lien of any Mortgage as may be requested by Landlord or any Lender from time to time, provided any such document also satisfies the requirements of a Non-Disturbance Agreement (as defined in Section 14.4 below). Any failure or refusal of Tenant to execute such an agreement within 20 days shall constitute a Default, subject to Section 11.3. However, no such additional agreement shall be necessary to effectuate such subordination provided Tenant has obtained a Non-Disturbance Agreement from the Landlord’s Lender.
14.2 Subordination Right. Tenant hereby waives its right, if any, to elect to terminate this Lease or to surrender possession of the Premises in the event of any Mortgage termination or foreclosure. Tenant also agrees that any Lender may, at its option, unilaterally elect to subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease by an instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender which Tenant shall execute within 20 days after written request provided the same is in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Tenant. Any failure or refusal by Tenant to execute such instrument within the time period specified in this Section 14.2 (without additional time, despite any other provision of this Lease) shall constitute a Default hereunder, but shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the subordination.
14.3 Mortgagee's Liability. Despite the provisions of Section 42 below, in the event that any Lender or its respective successor in title shall succeed to the interest of Landlord hereunder, the liability of the Lender or successor shall exist only so long as it is the owner of the Project, or the interest therein superior to this Lease under any Master Lease. No Base Rent or any other Rent charge shall be paid more than 30 days prior to the due date thereof, and payments made in violation of this provision shall be a nullity as against any Lender, except to the extent that those payments are actually received by the Lender.
14.4 Non-Disturbance Protection. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (a) Tenant's obligations to subordinate its rights hereunder to any Lender shall be conditioned upon Landlord's obtaining from the Lender a non-disturbance agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Landlord’s Lender and Tenant and substantially in the form of Exhibit “F” hereof (“Non-Disturbance Agreement”) and a recognition agreement from the master landlord under the Master Lease in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Tenant and substantially in the form of Exhibit “G” hereof (the “Recognition Agreement”). Nothing herein shall condition Tenant's obligation to pay Rent despite the lack of Tenant’s receipt of the Non-Disturbance Agreement and Landlord shall have no liability therefor, but this Lease shall not be subordinate to such Mortgage. Landlord shall submit such Non-Disturbance Agreement to Lender and the Recognition Agreement to the City for execution within thirty (30) days from the date of this Lease. Landlord represents and warrants that no Mortgage encumbers the Project other than the Mortgage held by International Bank of Commerce (the “Holder”) and that no ground lease or superior lease encumbers the Project other than the Master Lease from the City. In the event Tenant has not received a fully-executed Non-Disturbance Agreement from the Holder and a Recognition Agreement from the City, which shall include an acknowledgement of, and agreement to be bound by, Tenant’s right under Section 51 below, within 45 days from the date of this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to
24
terminate this Lease upon notice to Landlord, and upon exercise any Prepaid Rent shall be returned to Tenant.
SECTION 15: INSPECTIONS AND ACCESS.
15.1 Entry. Subject to the terms of this Section 15.1, Landlord and its agents or representatives may enter the Premises upon reasonable prior notice to supply any service to be provided by Landlord to Tenant hereunder, and make repairs or do any work required of Landlord under this Lease, as well as to exhibit the Premises to prospective purchasers, lenders or, during the last 12 months of the Term, prospective tenants who are not competitors of Tenant as set forth on Exhibit “L”. All such work shall be done as expeditiously as reasonably feasible so as to cause as little interference to Tenant as reasonably possible without requiring extraordinary expenditure on the part of Landlord. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to any reduction or abatement of Rent, or to make any claim for damages against Landlord, as a result of any act of Landlord carried out pursuant to this Section 15.1. Tenant has informed Landlord that Tenant is considered a Covered Entity under HIPAA and may engage in certain work in the Premises that may require a level of privacy or confidentiality. The Landlord acknowledges that the Tenant may engage in certain work in the Premises that may require a level of privacy or confidentiality, and therefore in order to comply with such requirement, the Tenant shall have the right, except in the case of an emergency, to designate an employee or other representative of Tenant to accompany Landlord, its agents, guests or invitees in connection with their access to the Premises, and the Landlord shall, except in the case of emergency, and where reasonably practicable, comply with said right of the Tenant. Neither Landlord nor any party authorized by or through Landlord may view, remove, alter, destroy, use or disclose to third parties any medical or financial information or any information concerning the Tenant’s business it obtains or encounters through access to the Premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, except in case of emergency, any access to the Premises by the Landlord or any party claiming by or through the same (including without limitation, janitorial staff) shall be in accordance with the security, safety, and confidentiality requirements that Tenant may adopt from time to time as mandated by any Law, provided that (i) such Law mandating any such security, safety, and confidentiality requirements expressly apply to Landlord or any such party claiming by or through the Landlord, and (ii) Tenant shall have provided such requirements in advance in writing to Landlord and Landlord reasonably agrees that it is bound by such Law.
15.2 Access. Nothing in this Section 15 shall be deemed to limit Landlord’s right to use any and all means that Landlord may deem proper to open any doors to or within the Premises in the event of an emergency.
SECTION 16: SURRENDER OF PREMISES.
16.1 Removal by Tenant. At the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender to Landlord the Premises and all Tenant Alterations (other than those Tenant Alterations to be removed by Tenant pursuant to Section 4.5) in substantially the same order, repair and condition as existed on the Commencement Date, except for ordinary wear and tear, damage by fire or other casualty, free of all tenancies and occupancies. Tenant shall remove all of Tenant’s Personal Property in accordance with Section 4.5. Tenant, at Tenant's expense, shall perform all restoration required under Section 4.5, at or prior to the expiration or termination of this Lease.
25
16.2 Removal By Landlord. Landlord may elect to retain or dispose of, in any manner, any Tenant Alterations or Personal Property that Tenant does not remove from the Premises on expiration or earlier termination of the Term. Title to such Tenant Alterations or Personal Property Landlord elects to retain on expiration or earlier termination of the Term shall vest in Landlord. Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for any damage to Tenant resulting from Landlord's retention or disposition of any such Tenant Alterations (other than those Tenant Alterations to remain in the Premises in accordance with Section 4.5) or Personal Property. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for Landlord's costs for storing, removing and disposing of any Tenant Alterations which Tenant is required to remove pursuant to Section 4.5 or Personal Property and the cost of any repairs to the Premises and/or the Project associated with the removal.
16.3 Holding Over. If Tenant holds over after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, such Tenancy shall be at sufferance, at a rental rate equal to one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the daily Base Rent in effect upon the date of such expiration or termination, and otherwise subject to the terms, covenants and conditions herein specified. Acceptance by Landlord of Rent after such expiration or earlier termination shall not constitute a holdover hereunder or result in a renewal. The foregoing provisions of this Section 16.3 are in addition to and do not affect Landlord's right of re-entry or any rights of Landlord hereunder or as otherwise available to Landlord as a matter of law nor shall the foregoing be construed as consent by Landlord to any holding over by Tenant. Landlord expressly reserves the right to require Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease.
SECTION 17: LANDLORD'S LIABILITY; SALE BY LANDLORD.
17.1 No Personal Liability. Landlord or any successor in interest of Landlord (whether one or more individual(s), a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trustee or other fiduciary, or the trust or other entity or organization for which any fiduciary acts) shall have no direct or personal liability with respect to any term or requirement of this Lease beyond Landlord's or the successor's interest in the Project. Tenant shall look solely to the estate of Landlord or the successor in the Project for the satisfaction of any claim by Tenant against Landlord or Landlord’s Employees. Except as otherwise provided under Section 8.8 below, under no circumstances shall either party be liable to the other for special damages, indirect damages or other consequential damages, including without limitation, injury to business or for any loss of income or profit therefrom.
17.2 Tenant's Liability. No employee, officer, director, stockholder of Tenant shall have personal liability for any of the obligations hereunder, it being agreed that Landlord shall look solely to Tenant and Tenant’s assets for the satisfaction of any liability hereunder.
17.3 Attornment. In the event the original Landlord hereunder, or any successor in interest of Landlord, shall sell or convey its interest in the Project, Tenant agrees to attorn to such new owner..

F-4
7.Mortgagee’s Right to Cure.
7.1. Notice to Mortgagee.

7.3. Extended Cure Period.

8.Due Authorization. Tenant has full authority to enter into this Agreement, which has been duly authorized by all necessary actions.

Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Tenant hereby agrees that the rights of Mortgagee in and to all insurance proceeds payable under Landlord’s policies of insurance affecting the Landlord’s Premises and in and to Landlord’s proceeds of condemnation shall be prior and superior to the rights of Tenant and that the Mortgage, not the Lease, shall govern with respect to the application of all such insurance and condemnation proceeds unless Mortgagee, or an affiliate of Mortgagee, becomes a Successor Landlord, in which event the terms of the Lease shall apply to, and be binding upon, Mortgagee.
10.Miscellaneous.
10.1. Notices. Notices shall be effective the next business day after being sent by overnight courier service, five business days after being sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) and immediately upon hand delivery.

F-5

If Mortgagee assigns the Mortgage, then, upon delivery to Tenant of written notice thereof accompanied by the assignee’s written assumption of all obligations under this Agreement, all liability of the assignor accruing thereafter shall terminate.
10.3. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between Mortgagee and Tenant regarding the subordination of the Lease to the lien of the Mortgage and the rights and obligations of Tenant and Mortgagee as to the subject matter of this Agreement.
10.4. Interaction with Lease and with Mortgage. If an express provision of this Agreement conflicts with an express provision of the Lease, then this Agreement shall govern as between the parties and any Successor Landlord, including upon any attornment pursuant to this Agreement. This Agreement supersedes, and constitutes full compliance with, any provisions in the Lease that provide for subordination of the Lease to, or for delivery of non-disturbance agreements by the holder of, the Mortgage. Mortgagee confirms that Mortgagee has consented to Landlord’s entering into the Lease.
10.5. Mortgagee’s Rights and Obligations. Except as expressly provided for in this Agreement, Mortgagee shall have no obligations to Tenant with respect to the Lease.
10.6. Interpretation; Governing Law. The interpretation, validity and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the internal laws of the State of Texas.

Mortgagee certifies to Tenant effective as of the date hereof, to Mortgagee’s knowledge that no default exists under the Mortgage.
10.10. Payment of Rental Post-Default.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS ADDENDUM TO
TRIPLE NET LEASE
BETWEEN
SEAHOLM L/R, LLC, AS LANDLORD
AND
athenahealth, INC. AS TENANT
The terms of this Special Provisions Addendum shall supplement, amend and, to the extent in conflict with the provisions of the Lease, supersede the above-referenced Lease, to which this Special Provisions Addendum is attached. The paragraph numbers set forth below generally correspond to the related paragraph in the Lease, but shall not affect or limit the meaning of the particular Special Provisions Addendum provision.
1.6 Option to Extend. Provided Tenant is not in Default of any term or condition of this Lease as of the date of exercise of the renewal term, Tenant shall have the option to renew the term of the Lease for one additional five (5) year term, on the same terms and conditions of the Lease, except that the Base Rent at the beginning of each renewal term shall be adjusted to equal the then prevailing market rental rate for comparable leases for similar projects within the Central Business District in Austin as of the commencement of the renewal term (but not less than the Base Rent in effect immediately prior to the date of the renewal term). The option shall be exercised (if at all) by Tenant giving irrevocable written notice to Landlord at least twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Term. The option shall be personal to the originally named Tenant and any party succeeding to Tenant under a Permitted Transfer.
The prevailing market rental rate shall be determined in the following manner:
Prevailing market rental rate shall be determined taking into account all relevant factors, including (to the extent relevant) number of months of free rent, if any (which shall be part of the determination of the rental rate), tenant improvement obligations, moving allowances, and leasing commissions and costs. The term "comparable leases" shall not include leases entered into under special circumstances affecting the economics of the tenancies, including following the exercise of options to lease space at other than then current prevailing market rate, the lease of awkward or unusually shaped space or space without windows or other usual amenities, leases entered into under conditions where the landlord was forced to lease the space by external legal, economic, or other pressures not generally applicable to the market, or the sublease of space by a sublandlord not primarily in the business of leasing space similar to the Premises. Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date Tenant has exercised its option to renew, Landlord shall give Tenant notice of Landlord's proposed prevailing market rental value for the Premises. Tenant shall give Landlord written notice within thirty (30) days thereafter as to whether or not Tenant agrees with Landlord's proposed prevailing market rental value. If Tenant disagrees with Landlord's proposed prevailing market rental value, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to resolve their differences for a period of thirty (30) days. Upon the expiration of such thirty day period, if the parties are not in agreement as to such prevailing market rental value, then either party may initiate appraisal to determine the fair market rental value by giving written notice to the other party, such notice containing the name of an appraiser appointed by such initiating party. Within fifteen (15) days thereafter, the party receiving such notice shall appoint its own appraiser and give written notice thereof to the initiating party. If the
H-1
second appraiser is not appointed within such fifteen day period, then the appraiser selected by the initiating party shall determine the fair market rental value of the Premises, and such appraisal shall be binding upon the parties. If the second appraiser is timely appointed, then the two appraisers shall simultaneously submit to each other their good faith estimate of prevailing market rental value within thirty (30) days of appointment of the second appraiser and attempt to agree on the prevailing market rental value. If the two appraisers are unable to agree, but the higher appraisal is no more than ten percent (10%) higher than the lower appraisal, then the prevailing market rental value shall be the average of the two appraisals. If the higher appraisal is more than ten percent (10%) greater than the lower appraisal, the two appraisers shall together select a third appraiser who shall also determine the prevailing market rental value. If three appraisers are ultimately appointed and any two appraisers agree on the prevailing market rental value, the value agreed upon by the two appraisers shall be the prevailing market rental value. If the three appraisers all determine different prevailing market rental values, then the prevailing market rental value shall be the average of the two closest appraisals.
All appraisers shall be members of the MAI and shall have at least ten (10) years' experience appraising similar property in Austin. Each party shall bear the cost of the appraiser appointed by such party, and the parties shall share equally in the cost of the third appraiser, if appointed. If the two appraisers initially appointed are unable to agree on a third appraiser, then either party shall have the right to apply to the presiding judge of the Superior Court having jurisdiction over the Premises for the appointment of a third appraiser.
1.10. Parking. Tenant shall have the exclusive right to rent up to two hundred fifty eight (258) unreserved parking passes in the Garage at the then prevailing Project rates applicable to the Garage upon payment of prevailing parking rates as in effect from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will Tenant have access to the parking spaces allotted to Tenant pursuant to Section 1.10 of Exhibit “H” prior to the Rent Commencement Date. Tenant shall comply with reasonable parking rules and regulations implemented for the Garage. The initial rate will be $175/month for unreserved stalls and $200/month for reserved stalls. Tenant shall comply with reasonable parking rules and regulations imposed by Landlord. Landlord shall have the right to permit event parking in the Garage only on Monday-Friday after 6 p.m, and all day and night on Saturdays and Sundays. Tenant will have full access to the Garage from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. After 6:00 p.m. on weekends and Holidays, 75% of the Garage will be available for use by outside parkers, provided that 25% of the Garage will be reserved for Tenant and valet parking will be provided to Tenant at no charge. In no event shall the foregoing be interpreted to impose any obligation of Tenant to remove the cars from the Garage using the parking passes in the Garage after 6 p.m., provided that (i) Tenant does not permit the parking spaces to be used on an overnight basis unless approved by Landlord, and (ii) Tenant uses reasonable efforts to discourage use of the Garage by Tenant’s employees after 6:00 p.m. on weekends and Holidays for reasons unrelated to such employees’ employment activities with Tenant. There shall be no free visitor parking in the Garage, but Landlord agrees to maintain ten (10) designated visitor parking spaces near the interior entry to the Garage as shown on Exhibit N. In the event Tenant has not rented the total number of allotted parking stalls on or before the sixth (6th) month following the Rent Commencement Date, Landlord shall have the right to rent any unused stalls to third parties on a month-to-month basis, provided that Tenant may regain the use of such returned stalls upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord. Nothing in this Lease shall constitute a representation or warranty by Landlord that there shall be sufficient facilities in the Garage for use by Tenant’s invitees or guests, other than the reservation of 25% of the Garage for use by Tenant after 6:00 p.m. on weekends and Holidays. Landlord shall provide reasonable
H-2
temporary parking accommodations for Tenant’s construction vehicles during construction of the Tenant Improvements, as shown on Exhibit “O”.
3.3.4 Tenant’s Right to Audit. Tenant shall have the one time annual right to review and/or audit Landlord's books and records regarding CAM/Operating Costs at Landlord's offices during normal business hours on thirty (30) days' prior notice given within two hundred forty (240) days after Tenant's receipt of the Annual Statement (the “Review Period”). Any audit shall be conducted by a certified public accountant reasonably approved by Landlord (“Tenant’s Auditor”) which, along with Tenant, agrees to be bound by a commercially reasonable confidentiality agreement in form proposed by Landlord, on a non-contingent fee basis, and must be completed and submitted to Landlord within sixty (60) days after Tenant begins the audit. Tenant shall have no right to contest, review or audit such statement if it fails to give such written notice during the Review Period. Landlord may elect to contest the conclusion of Tenant’s Auditor by giving a written contest notice (the “Contest Notice”) to Tenant within sixty (60) days after receipt of the audit, such Contest Notice containing the name of a firm of certified public accountants appointed by Landlord (“Landlord’s CPA”). Landlord’s CPA and Tenant’s Auditor shall meet and confer within 30 days after the Contest Notice is given in an attempt to agree on any disputed items. If Landlord’s CPA and Tenant’s Auditor are unable to agree on all disputed items within 45 days after the Contest Notice, then each of Landlord’s CPA and Tenant’s Auditor shall propose and deliver to each other in writing an amount to be paid by Tenant to Landlord or Landlord to Tenant relating to the Operating Costs being audited. Tenant’s Auditor and Landlord’s CPA shall agree on a third CPA experienced in real estate accounting unaffiliated with Landlord, Tenant and their respective CPA’s and/or auditors and who has not worked for Landlord, Tenant or their respective CPA’s in the last ten (10) years. Such third CPA (the “Deciding CPA”) shall meet for one day or less with Landlord’s CPA and Tenant’s Auditor within 15 days after the appointment of such Deciding CPA, and at the end of such meeting the Deciding CPA shall choose in writing either Tenant’s Auditor’s proposal or Landlord’s CPA’s proposal, and such decision shall be final, binding and nonappealable. Landlord shall pay for Landlord’s CPA, Tenant shall pay for Tenant’s Auditor and the cost of the Deciding CPA shall be divided equally among the parties. No books and records may be removed from Landlord’s office, although Tenant may extract copies of such books and records. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if it is determined that Operating Costs reflected in Landlord’s Statement have been overstated by five percent (5%) or more, than Landlord shall pay for the reasonable cost of Tenant’s Auditor and the Deciding CPA.
47. Signage.
(a) Installation.
(i) Tenant shall have the right to Building standard suite signage and directory signage subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval of the same. In addition, Tenant shall have the exclusive right to exterior signage on the Building, subject to Landlord’s approval as provided below, and applicable governmental approvals, including the Landmark commission (the "Exterior Sign"). The size, design, color, weight, location and other physical aspects of the Exterior Sign will be subject to Landlord’s approval and (i) all Matters of Record and all applicable Laws governing the Premises, and (ii) any applicable municipal or governmental permits and approvals. In no event shall the Exterior Sign contain an objectionable name. Landlord shall not permit any other party to maintain a sign on the exterior of the Building. Landlord hereby approves the Exterior Sign as shown on Exhibit M, subject to such governmental approvals.
H-3
(ii) Tenant may use a portion of the Allowance to pay for the costs and expenses in connection with the construction and installation of the Exterior Sign permitted under this Addendum, including, without limitation, all design, fabrication and permitting costs and license fees. To the extent the Allowance is insufficient, Tenant shall be responsible for all remaining costs and expenses for the Exterior Sign. The contractor selected by Tenant for the installation of such signs shall be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval.
(iii) As used herein, an "objectionable name" shall mean any name which relates to an entity which is of a character or reputation, or is associated with a political orientation or faction, which is inconsistent with the image Landlord desires to maintain for the Project, or which would otherwise reasonably offend a landlord of a similar building in the area in which the Building is located.
(b) Maintenance, Repair and Removal. Tenant will be solely responsible for all costs for, maintenance, repair and removal of the Exterior Sign. If Tenant fails to remove any signs upon expiration or earlier termination of the Lease (or termination of Tenant’s right to signage as provided above) and repair any damage caused by such removal, Landlord may do so at Tenant's sole cost and expense. Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord within ten (10) business days after demand for all reasonable costs incurred by Landlord to effect any removal on Tenant's account, which amount will be deemed Additional Rent. The rights granted herein are personal to the Original Tenant or a party succeeding to Tenant under a Permitted Transfer.
48. Compliance with Laws. Each party represents and warrants that it shall obey and conform at its sole cost and expense and in every manner of its business related to this Lease to all applicable Laws, including the Americans With Disabilities Act ("ADA"). During the Term and any Extension, Landlord shall be responsible for any repairs, improvements, or upgrades to the Project to comply with such laws, regulations and directives, except for such repairs, improvements or upgrades required in the interior of the Premises due to Tenant’s Alterations or as a result of Tenant's particular use of (as distinguished from general office use), or improvement, which shall be Tenant's responsibility. Nothing contained herein shall relieve Landlord of its obligations under Section 18 of the Lease.
49. First Offer Rights.
49.1 If Landlord desires to lease vacant rentable area (i) in excess of 5,000 rentable square feet on the second (2nd) floor of the Retail/Office Building, and provided Tenant is not in breach of any provision of this Lease past any express and applicable cure period, Landlord shall first offer such space (the "First Offer Space") to Tenant by giving Tenant written notice of the availability of such premises, which notice shall describe the size and location of the First Offer Space in reasonable detail (“First Offer Rights”).
49.2 When from time to time Landlord shall desire to offer the First Offer Space for lease to third parties, then Landlord shall give Tenant written notice (an "Availability Notice") of the availability or scheduled availability of such First Offer Space for lease and Landlord's proposed rental rate(s) for the Base Rent for each year of the proposed lease (based on the prevailing fair market value) and other economic terms for such First Offer Space ("Landlord's Proposed Economic Terms"). Landlord’s Proposed Economic Terms will represent Landlord's good faith determination of the prevailing market terms for the First Offer Space, and shall be the same terms as Landlord would offer to a third party if it were to market the First Offer Space.
H-4
49.3 Within ten (10) business days after receipt of the Availability Notice, Tenant must give Landlord written notice pursuant to which Tenant shall elect to either: (i) lease all and not less than all of the First Offer Space on Landlord’s Proposed Economic Terms; or (ii) refuse to lease the First Offer Space. If Tenant timely elects not to lease the First Offer Space, Landlord may elect to lease the First Offer Space at any time to any third party in Landlord’s sole and good faith discretion, provided that if Landlord desires to lease the First Offer Space on terms materially more favorable than those specified in the Availability Notice or Landlord does not lease the applicable First Offer Space within six (6) months of the date of Tenant’s receipt of the Availability Notice, Landlord shall not lease such First Offer Space to a third party without first offering such space again to Tenant in accordance with this Section 49.
49.4 If Tenant elects to lease the First Offer Space, then such space shall be included in the Premises for the remaining balance of the Term and shall be leased to Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, with the following exceptions: (a) except as otherwise hereafter agreed in writing by the parties hereto, the Base Rent and other economic terms applicable to the First Offer Space shall be determined in accordance with Sections 49.2 and 49.3; (b) Tenant's Proportionate Share shall be increased appropriately to reflect the addition of the First Offer Space to the Premises; (c) the Term as to the First Offer Space shall end upon the expiration date of the Term; and (d) the parking spaces available under Section 1.10 above shall be increased by 2.5 spaces for each 1,000 rentable square feet of the First Office Space.
49.5 Promptly after Tenant's exercise of its rights under this Section, the parties shall agree upon and execute an amendment (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and Tenant) to this Lease memorializing the terms and conditions upon which the First Offer Space in question shall be added to the Premises.
49.6 In the event Tenant fails to give Landlord timely notice of Tenant's election to lease any First Offer Space covered by an Availability Notice, then Landlord shall be free to market such First Offer Space for lease by third parties, subject to the limitations of Section 49.3.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Tenant’s First Offer Rights shall be null and void during any period in which (a) Tenant has assigned or sublet the entire Premises other than to a Permitted Transferee, or (b) Tenant is in Default of a provision under the Lease beyond the applicable period for notice and cure. The rights granted pursuant to this Section 49 shall be exercisable only by the Tenant named herein (“Original Tenant”) and any Permitted Transferees.
50. Security. Nothing contained in this Lease shall prevent Tenant, at Tenant’s sole option and expense, from implementing security measures such as guard service or card key access system to the Premises for the benefit of the Premises or any part thereof; provided, however, Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Throughout the Term, Landlord will engage one uniformed courtesy officer to (i) patrol the public areas around the Building and the Garage, and (ii) provide an escort for Tenant’s personnel to their cars after dusk.
51. Right of Purchase. Tenant shall have a one-time right of first offer (“ROFO”) to purchase Landlord’s interest in the Ground Lease (“ROFO Property”) which shall include the
H-5
land described in Exhibit A-2, as well as all buildings and improvements thereon and the rights and appurtenances thereto on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section if at any time during the term of this Lease, Landlord elects to sell the ROFO Property to a third party. A refinancing, joint venture or transfer by Landlord to an Affiliate (each for good faith reasons other than circumventing Tenant’s rights hereunder) shall not constitute a sale for purposes of this Section; provided that the transfer of the ROFO Property by the Affiliate to a third party shall be deemed a sale to which the right granted to Tenant under this Section shall apply if applicable at such time. Landlord expressly agrees that Tenant shall have no right or obligation to purchase any other portion of the Project or any other property other than the ROFO Property in its exercise of the rights granted hereunder but in purchasing the ROFO Property, Tenant shall take the ROFO Property subject to any subleases then encumbering the ROFO Property.
51.1 If at any time during the Term and after the Permitted Assignment Date (as defined in the Master Lease) Landlord elects to sell the ROFO Property, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written notice (the “Offer Notice”) which shall include Landlord’s intent to sell the ROFO Property.
51.2 Tenant shall have ten (10) business days from the delivery of the Offer Notice (the “Response Period”) within which to notify Landlord of its election to purchase the ROFO Property, and which shall include Tenant’s proposed purchase price (“Purchase Price”). The parties agree that the Purchase Price shall be based on an all cash purchase price.
51.3. Landlord shall have ten (10) days from delivery of Tenant’s election and the Purchase Price to determine whether Landlord will accept the Purchase Price (“Landlord’s Acknowledgement”), which approval shall be in Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord does not accept the Purchase Price then Tenant shall again have a right of first offer to purchase the ROFO Property and Landlord shall provide Tenant with a revised Offer Notice and shall otherwise comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 51: (i) if Landlord is willing to accept an offer for the sale of the ROFO Property (the “Third Party Terms”) on less or substantially the same price offered by Tenant. For the purposes of this Section, "substantially the same economic terms " shall be deemed to mean that the economics of the Third Party Terms have a net economic benefit to Landlord within ten percent (10%) of the economics of the Purchase Price offered by Tenant (but not greater than Tenant’s offer). If the Third Party Terms are greater than Tenant’s offer, Landlord shall not be required to provide a revised Offer Notice to Tenant. If Landlord is required to provide a revised Offer Notice, then Tenant shall again have the right to purchase the ROFO Property in accordance with this Section except that Tenant must purchase on the Third Party Terms (and Landlord’s revised Offer Notice shall identify such terms) in the event the re-offer is the result of the application subsection 51.3(i) above. Further, if Landlord does not accept Tenant’s Purchase Price then Tenant shall again have a right of first offer to purchase the ROFO Property and Landlord shall provide Tenant with a revised Offer Notice and shall otherwise comply with the procedures set forth in this Section 51 if Landlord does not accept an offer to sell the ROFO Property on or before the date twelve (12) months after Tenant receives the Offer Notice.
51.4 If Landlord accepts the Purchase Price, or if Tenant exercises the ROFO based on the Third Party Terms, Landlord and Tenant shall forthwith proceed to consummate the sale and purchase of the ROFO Property on the Purchase Price (or the
H-6
Third Party Terms) and otherwise in accordance with Exhibit K. If there is a default by Tenant under the terms of the purchase and sale agreement beyond applicable notice and cure periods entered into by the parties, then Landlord shall be entitled to Tenant’s Deposit (as defined in Exhibit “K”) and Tenant shall have no right to purchase the ROFO Property and the ROFO rights shall no longer be in force or effect.
51.5 If Landlord does not accept the Purchase Price, or if the sale to Tenant pursuant to the ROFO does not close within such 45 days for reasons other than default of Landlord beyond the applicable notice and cure period, Landlord may thereafter proceed to sell the ROFO Property free and clear of any rights of Tenant under this ROFO with respect to that sale so long as such sale is consummated within said 12 months. Any sale or proposed sale after expiration of said 12-month period shall be a new sale subject to all of the terms of this ROFO. A refinancing, joint venture or transfer by Landlord to an Affiliate (each for good faith reasons other than circumventing Tenant’s rights hereunder) shall not constitute a sale for purposes of this Section 51 provided that the transfer of the ROFO Property by the Affiliate to a third party shall be deemed a sale to which the right granted to Tenant under this Section shall apply.
51.6 Duration of ROFO. Provided Landlord has complied with the requirements of this Section 51, this ROFO shall terminate and be of no further force or effect on the date upon which Landlord consummates a sale of the Project to a third party in accordance with Section 51.5. Upon termination of the ROFO pursuant to the preceding sentence and the request of Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, in recordable form, an acknowledgment of termination of this ROFO, which Landlord may record at Landlord's expense.
51.7 Conditions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 51, the terms of this Section 51 are subject to Lender consent to the ROFO rights herein, and the agreement of the City under the Master Lease as to any necessary assignment of the Master Lease to Tenant pursuant to this ROFO, which consents shall be addressed in the Non-Disturbance Agreement and the Recognition Agreement.
52. Back-Up Generator Power. Tenant shall have the right to install a UPS system and emergency back-up generator on the concrete pad located outside of the Building, in the location more particularly shown on Exhibit “A-3”. Tenant shall repair and maintain the equipment in compliance with all Laws and shall keep consistent maintenance records available for Landlord’s review. All testing shall be done outside of Project business hours and shall not be conducted without prior notice to Landlord. All affixed equipment that cannot be removed without causing significant damage to the Project shall become Landlord’s property at the end of the Term, or earlier termination of this Lease, and Tenant shall deliver all relevant permits, warranties and maintenance history documents. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord and the Indemnified Parties from any and all claims arising from the equipment or in connection with Tenant’s use thereof.
53. Amphitheatre/Front Lawn. So long as Tenant continues to occupy all or a majority portion of the Premises, Tenant shall have the right to use that certain Amphitheater/front lawn area located in front of the Building at no cost to Tenant up to seven (7) times per year. Tenant shall be responsible for all permits, approvals, and insurance required in connection with such events, and Tenant shall notify Landlord and provide Landlord with copies of all necessary permits and certificates prior to such event. In no event shall Tenant’s events
H-7
fall during or on any of the following days/periods: SXSW, F1 Racing, ACL, July 4 and New Year’s Eve. Landlord may not construct any buildings or other permanent improvements (other than landscaping with the Amphitheater/front lawn area during the Term of this Lease without Tenant’s consent, which may be withheld in Tenant’s sole discretion.
54. Roof Rights. So long as Tenant continues to occupy the Premises , Tenant shall have the non-exclusive right to install, maintain and replace one satellite dish and one repeater on the roof of the Building in a location and pursuant to plans and specifications reasonably acceptable to Landlord (the “Dishes”) and Tenant shall install, maintain and repair the Dishes at Tenant’s sole cost and in accordance with all applicable Laws, including the Landmark Commission, and so long as such installation, maintenance and/or replacement shall not invalidate any roof warranty or interfere with the operations of any tenants or occupants in effect prior to Tenant’s installation of the Dishes. Tenant shall install at Tenant’s cost any fencing or barricades that may be required under Law. The Dish shall be used by Tenant for Tenant’s Permitted Use and for no other use or purpose. Tenant shall repair any damage to the roof caused by Tenant’s installation of any devices, excepting normal wear and tear. There shall be no additional charge to Tenant for the use of such portion of the roof. Tenant shall coordinate any roof installation and any roof penetrations or other structural improvements hereunder with Landlord and Landlord’s roofing contractor. All rooftop equipment used by Tenant and any other improvements or devices installed by Tenant on the roof of the Building shall be removed by Tenant and Tenant shall restore the Project to the condition in which it was received prior to expiration of this Lease, excepting ordinary wear and tear and casualty damage. Tenant shall be liable for any costs, damages, or liabilities associated with Tenant’s Dishes.
55. Expedited ADR.
(i) Expedited ADR. If Landlord and Tenant do not agree upon the decision of the other party pursuant to an event under Section 13.1, Section 13.2 or Exhibit “C”, or if Tenant reasonably believes Landlord’s consent has been unreasonably conditioned or withheld under the provisions of Article 7, the parties shall have the right to resolve such issue pursuant to the following expedited arbitration procedure (“Expedited ADR”).
(ii) Arbitrator. Landlord and Tenant shall refer the selection of an arbitrator to the American Arbitration Association on an expedited basis with the request that a selection be made at the earliest possible date. The sole issue shall be whether Landlord’s consent has been unreasonably conditioned or withheld or if the other party’s decision or action has been reasonable under the circumstances.
(iii) Commencement of Expedited ADR. To commence the Expedited ADR procedure, either party must send a “Notice of Commencement of ADR” to the arbitrator with a copy to the other party. Within three (3) business days after receipt of the Notice of Commencement of ADR, the arbitrator shall contact both parties to set a date within five (5) business days thereof to hold the Expedited ADR. If the parties and the arbitrator are unable to agree on a date within such five (5) day period, then the arbitrator shall select an appropriate date and time within such five (5) day period which shall be binding on the parties.
(iv) Expedited ADR Procedure. The Expedited ADR will be held on the date and time agreed upon by the parties or otherwise set by the arbitrator at the office of the arbitrator. Each party shall have two (2) hours to present its claim to the arbitrator (including the testimony of any live witnesses). The party initiating the Expedited ADR shall present its claim first followed by the party responding to the Expedited ADR. The arbitrator shall be bound by the provisions of this Lease, but shall have the discretion to consider such other evidence as he or she deems relevant to the Expedited ADR. Following completion of the presentation of the claims by both parties, the arbitrator shall be permitted to request such further evidence as

he or she deems necessary to render a decision. The arbitrator shall have the discretion to continue the Expedited ADR until the next business day, but in no event shall the Expedited ADR continue beyond the close of business on such second (2nd) business day. The arbitrator shall issue a written decision to both parties within two (2) business days of the completion of the Expedited ADR. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and conclusive and non-appealable on the parties hereto.
(v) Costs of Expedited ADR. The costs of the arbitrator shall initially be divided equally between the parties, it being understood and agreed that, upon judgment, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reimbursement from the other party of all costs of the Expedited ADR, including attorneys’ fees and the fees of the arbitrator.

Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant in connection with the Incentive at no cost or expense to Landlord, provided that Tenant shall keep Landlord informed as to Tenant’s efforts to obtain the Incentive (including providing Landlord with copies of Tenant’s submittals), and Tenant shall indemnify Landlord from all costs or liabilities incurred by Landlord in connection therewith. The parties agree that the period between December 2, 2013 and January 31, 2014 shall be considered the “Incentive Period”. In the event Tenant is unable to obtain the Incentive by the end of the Incentive Period, Tenant may terminate this Lease upon five (5) days’ prior written notice pursuant subject to the terms and conditions of that certain Contingency Letter executed by the parties substantially concurrently with this Lease and incorporated herein by reference.

PURCHASE AND SALE TERMS
1. The “Closing Date” shall for any conveyance under the provisions of Section 51 of the Lease shall occur at 10 am on the date which is 45 days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s Acknowledgement, or on the next succeeding business day if such 45th day shall occur on a non-business day.
2. Tenant shall deposit five percent (5%) of the Purchase Price as a good faith deposit under the purchase agreement (the “Deposit”). Tenant shall have twenty (20) days (“Diligence Period”) to conduct any due diligence Tenant deems necessary to determine if there are any matters related to the ROFO Property unacceptable to Tenant. If Tenant determines within said period that it does not wish to proceed with Closing, Tenant may rescind its purchase election and the Deposit shall be returned to Tenant. In such event, the terms of Section 51.6 shall apply. If the transaction closes in accordance with the terms of the purchase agreement, Tenant may apply the Deposit to the Purchase Price. If Tenant does not timely terminate the transaction during the Diligence Period, and if the transaction does not close due to Tenant’s default thereunder, Landlord may retain the Deposit as liquidated damages.
3. The purchase price shall be paid by wire transfer of Federal Funds in such manner as will make the consideration available in Austin, Texas on the Closing Date, provided, however, that Landlord delivers at the time of the Closing, any and all affidavits and indemnities (including, without limitation, a Gap Indemnity) in such form and containing such substance as are reasonably and customarily requested by the title company issuing Tenant’s policy for Title Insurance to issue such policy to the Tenant upon the release of such funds to Landlord at the Closing, if the release of such funds precedes the recording of the assignment, as the case may be, conveying the ROFO Property to Tenant.
4. The ROFO Property shall be conveyed by an assignment of the Master Lease running to Tenant (or Tenant’s designee), such assignment to be delivered by customary escrow closing procedures, conveying a good and clear record and marketable leasehold title thereto subject only to, and with the benefit of, the following matters affecting the ROFO Property on the Closing Date:
| 1. | Rights, easements and agreements affecting the ROFO Property prior to the Closing Date, so far as in force and applicable on the Closing Date, and such other rights, easements and agreements as may be created by Landlord between the Exercise Date and the Closing Date, provided, however, that Tenant has consented, in writing, to the same in accordance with this Lease where consent is required. |
| 2. | Real estate taxes not yet due and payable. |
| 3. | Balances, if any, remaining unpaid and not due on account of betterment assessments on the ROFO Property. |
| 4. | Laws and regulations of any governmental authority. |
| 5. | Such state of facts as an accurate survey would show. |
| 6. | This Lease, Landlord’s interest in which will be assigned to Tenant at the closing (alternatively, the parties shall terminate this Lease at Closing) and Landlord shall provide any necessary consents to such assignment. |
K-1
| 7. | All liens, agreements and other matters affecting the Project, so far as in force and applicable on the Closing Date, created or suffered by Tenant, including, without limitation, any leasehold mortgages permitted under this Lease. |
5. Landlord shall pay such amounts as are necessary for the title company to issue a leasehold policy of Title Insurance to Tenant (with any endorsements or extra insurance payable by Tenant) without taking exception for any mortgage liens or other monetary encumbrances imposed on the ROFO Property by Landlord.
6. At the closing Landlord and Tenant shall make monetary adjustments of the types and in the manner customary for a transaction of the type contemplated by Section 51. The parties shall each determine not later than ten (10) business days prior to the Closing Date if they shall require easements or other rights across the Project as are reasonably necessary for Tenant to share in shared facilities and/or to use and operate the ROFO Property as a free-standing property for the Permitted Use and shall provide notice of same to the other party for reasonable review and approval. Each party shall bear the expenses customarily borne by buyers and sellers in commercial real estate transactions in Austin, Texas.
7. It shall be a condition to Tenant’s obligation to close and pay the purchase that Tenant’s title insurance company is prepared to issue, upon consummation of the Closing, a leasehold policy of Title Insurance, at standard premium rates, on the Texas Land Title Association form currently in use, subject only to: the general exceptions and exclusions from coverage in the policy form (other than the exceptions for mechanics liens not arising from any work done by or on behalf of Landlord and parties in possession claiming by, under or through Landlord, (other than Tenant) which shall be removed pursuant to such title insurance affidavits and certifications as Tenant's title insurance company may reasonably require) and the other matters referred to in Paragraph 3 above.
8. The parties shall enter into an agreement permitting Tenant to use the same number of parking spaces in the Garage as permitted under this Lease on market rates, terms and conditions.
