1.05(a). Term. The Lease begins (Beginning Date) on the earlier to occur of (i) the date of substantial completion of the Landlord’s Improvements described in Exhibit B (Substantial Completion Date), or (ii) the date on which Tenant occupies the Premises and conducts its business therefrom. Tenant shall nonetheless have the right to use the Premises without paying Base Rent for the period between the Substantial Completion Date and the Beginning Date for the sole and exclusive purpose of accommodating Tenant’s construction of Tenant Improvements prior to the Beginning Date as and to the extent hereafter provided. Tenant shall upon prior written notice to

Landlord and receipt by Tenant of Landlord’s prior written approval be entitled to enter the Premises without paying Base Rent prior to the Substantial Completion Date for the sole and exclusive purpose of accommodating Tenant’s construction of Tenant Improvements if, in the reasonable exercise of Landlord’s discretion, doing so does not interfere with the construction of Landlord’s Improvements. Tenant shall pay for its own electrical consumption, assume responsibility for payment of Additional Rent (as hereafter defined) and comply with all of Tenant’s performance obligations under this Lease during any time after which Tenant begins to use or occupy the Premises. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall pay Base Rent and Additional Rent for the entire Term of the Lease commencing on the Beginning Date. If the Beginning Date would be a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, the Beginning Date shall be the first business day following that Saturday, Sunday, or holiday. The Lease ends (Ending Date) one hundred twenty (120) months from the Beginning Date, unless ended earlier or extended further as provided under this Lease.

1.05(b). Substantial Completion. Landlord shall use its best efforts to substantially complete the improvements described in Exhibit B (Improvements, Landlord’s Improvements or Landlord’s Work) by November 15, 2001 (Target Date). Substantially complete means:

(i) completing improvements (Exhibit B) so that (A) Tenant can make its own intended Tenant Improvements to the Premises and thereafter use the Premises for their intended purposes without material interference to Tenant conducting its ordinary business activities and (B) the only incomplete items are minor or insubstantial details of construction, mechanical adjustments, or finishing touches like touch-up plastering or painting;

(ii) securing a temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy from the local municipality;

(iii) Tenant, its employees, agents, and invitees have ready access to the Building and Premises through entranceways and hallways;

(iv) the decoration, fixtures, and equipment to be installed by Landlord are installed and in good operating order; and

(v) the Premises are ready for the installation of Tenant’s Improvements (as later defined in this Lease), and any equipment, furniture, fixtures, or decoration that Tenant will install.

Landlord’s architect’s or general contractor’s certificate as to compliance with these criteria is dispositive as to the issue of Substantial Completion as that term is defined in this Lease, and not as that term may be defined in the construction documents for the Building, or elsewhere.

1.05(c). Notice. Landlord shall give Tenant at least ten (10) days advance notice of the estimated substantial completion date if different from the Target Date. If the estimated substantial completion date changes at any time after Landlord gives notice, then Landlord shall promptly give advance notice of the new estimated substantial completion date.

Before the earlier to occur of the Beginning Date and the date Tenant enters the Premises to make Tenant’s Improvements, the parties shall inspect the Premises, have all systems demonstrated, and prepare a punchlist. The punchlist shall list incomplete, minor, or insubstantial details of construction; necessary mechanical adjustments; and needed finishing touches. Landlord will complete the

punchlist items within thirty (30) days after the Beginning Date. Landlord’s completion of the punchlist items is conclusive evidence that the Premises were taken by Tenant in satisfactory condition. Landlord will promptly correct any latent defects as they become known, if Tenant notifies Landlord of the defect within ten (10) days after Tenant first learns of the defect.

1.05(e). Delayed Possession. Tenant may cancel this Lease if Landlord cannot deliver actual possession of the substantially complete Premises by one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Target Date. To cancel Tenant must give notice to Landlord within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Target Date and before Landlord gives notice to Tenant that the Premises are substantially complete. The one hundred and twenty (120) day and one hundred and eighty (180) day periods above shall be extended for an amount of time equal to any period of delay caused by the Tenant or any factors influencing the rate of construction such as, but not limited to, acts of God, strikes, wars, availability of material, and the like. Within thirty (30) days after cancellation Landlord shall return to Tenant prepaid consideration including Rent and deposits, if any.

2.02(d). Payment by Landlord. Subject to reimbursement under paragraph 2.02(e), Landlord shall pay the Property’s Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes.

2.02(e). Payment by Tenant. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord as additional rent (Additional Rent), Tenant’s pro rata share of the Operating Expense, plus applicable sales, use, or occupancy taxes.

2.02(f). Manner of Payment.

(i) Landlord may give Tenant notice of Landlord’s estimate of amounts payable under this paragraph for each Adjustment Period. Landlord’s estimate shall be reasonable and based upon generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. If Tenant requests, Landlord shall give Tenant reasonably detailed documentation to support Landlord’s estimate.

By the first day of each month during the Adjustment Period, Tenant shall pay Landlord one-twelfth (1/12th) of the estimated amount. If, however, the estimate is not given before the Adjustment Period begins, Tenant shall continue to pay on the basis of last year’s estimate, if any, until the month after the new estimate is given.

(ii) Within ninety (90) days after each Adjustment Period ends, or as soon as reasonably practical, Landlord shall give Tenant an itemized statement (Statement) showing in reasonable detail the:

(A) actual Operating Expenses for the Adjustment Period broken down by component expenses, such as repairs, management fees, electricity, janitorial, and Real Estate Taxes;

(B) the amount of Tenant’s pro rata share of the Operating Expense;

(D) the amount Tenant owes towards the Operating Expense or the amount Landlord owes as a refund.

(iii) If the Statement shows that the actual amount Tenant owes for the Adjustment Period is less than the estimated Operating Expenses paid by Tenant during the Adjustment Period, Landlord shall credit the difference (Overpayment) to the installment of Rent or Additional Rent then next coming due.

If the Statement shows that the actual amount Tenant owes is more than the estimated Operating Expenses paid by Tenant during the Adjustment Period, Tenant shall pay the difference (Underpayment). The Underpayment shall be paid within thirty (30) days after the Statement is delivered to Tenant. A late charge of three (3) percent of the Underpayment, exclusive of any interest, shall be added if the payment is not made within the thirty (30) day period. Landlord shall use good faith efforts to issue the Statement as soon as reasonably practical after each Adjustment Period ends.

Any Additional Rent due, including interest and penalty, shall survive the ending of the Lease.

(iv) During any Adjustment Period this Lease is not in effect a complete calendar year, unless it was ended because of Tenant’s default, Tenant’s obligation for Additional Rent for those Adjustment Periods shall be prorated by multiplying the Additional Rent for the Adjustment Period by a fraction expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the number of days of the Adjustment Period included in the Term and the denominator of which is 365.

2.03. Personal Property Tax. Before delinquency Tenant shall pay taxes assessed during the Term against trade fixtures or personal property placed by Tenant in the Premises. If these taxes are assessed against the Building, Tenant shall pay its share of the taxes to Landlord within ten (10) days after receiving Landlord’s written statement setting forth the amount of taxes applicable to Tenant’s property and the basis for the charge to Tenant. Tenant’s failure to pay within the ten-day period shall entitle Landlord to the same remedies it has upon Tenant’s failure to pay Rent.

2.04. Security Deposit. Upon its signing of this Lease, the Tenant has deposited Thirty-Six Thousand Seven Hundred Eighty and 25/100 Dollars ($36,780.25) (Security Deposit) with Landlord to secure Tenant’s performance of its Lease obligations. If Tenant defaults Landlord may, after giving five (5) days advance notice to Tenant, without prejudice to Landlord’s other remedies, apply part or all of the Security Deposit to cure Tenant’s default. If Landlord so uses part or all of the Security Deposit, then Tenant shall within ten (10) days after written demand, pay Landlord the amount used to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Landlord may mix the Security Deposit with its own funds. Any part of the Security Deposit not used by Landlord as permitted by this paragraph shall be returned to Tenant, without interest, within thirty (30) days after the Lease ends. If Landlord sells the Building then Landlord shall be relieved of any liability for the Security Deposit and accumulated interest upon the transfer of the Security Deposit to the successor landlord.

SECTION 6—LOSS OF PREMISES

6.01. Damages.

6.01(a). Definition. “Relevant Space” means:

(i) the Premises as defined in paragraph 1.02, excluding Tenant’s non-Building-Standard fixtures;

(ii) access to the Premises; and

(iii) any part of the Building that provides essential services to the Premises.

6.01(b). Repair of Damage. If the Relevant Space is damaged in part or whole from any cause and the Relevant Space can be substantially repaired and restored within one hundred and fifty (150) days from the date of the damage using standard working methods and procedures if the Landlord’s mortgagee provides adequate assurances to Landlord that it will make sufficient insurance proceeds available to substantially repair and restore within one hundred fifty (150) days (the “Repair and Restoration Funds”), and if Tenant is not in default at the time the damage occurs or at the time the Repair and Restoration Funds are received by Landlord, Landlord shall at its expense promptly and diligently repair and restore the Relevant Space to substantially the same condition as existed before the damage. This repair and restoration shall be made within one hundred and fifty (150) days from the date of the damage (the “Repair and Restoration Period”) unless the delay is due to causes beyond Landlord’s reasonable control; provided, however, that the Repair and Restoration Period may be extended by Landlord for an additional ninety (90) days if at the end of one hundred and fifty (150) days Landlord is making a prompt and diligent effort to repair and restore the Relevant Space, but has not completed doing so. The term “Repair and Restoration Period” includes any extension thereof provided for under this paragraph.

If the Relevant Space cannot be repaired and restored within the one hundred and fifty (150) day period or if Landlord’s mortgagee does not provide adequate assurances to Landlord as to the availability of Repair and Restoration Funds as aforesaid (the “Adequate Assurances”), then either party may, within ten (10) days after determining that the repairs and restoration cannot be made or the Adequate Assurances cannot be given within one hundred and fifty (150) days (as prescribed in paragraph 6.01(c)), cancel the Lease by giving notice to the other party; provided, however, Tenant may not cancel the Lease if Landlord agrees to repair and restore the Relevant Space even though Landlord has not received the Adequate Assurances. Nevertheless, if the Relevant Space is not repaired and restored within the Repair and Restoration Period, then Tenant may cancel the Lease at any time after the end of the Repair and Restoration Period and before the end of a period terminating thirty (30) days after the end of the Repair and Restoration Period. Tenant shall not be able to cancel this Lease if its willful misconduct causes the damage unless Landlord is not promptly and diligently repairing and restoring the Relevant Space.

6.01(c) Determining the Extent of Damage. Landlord will exercise good faith and commercial reasonableness in determining whether the repairs and restoration described in paragraph 6.01(b) will take more than one hundred and fifty (150) days to make.

6.01(d). Abatement. Unless the damage is caused by Tenant’s willful misconduct, the Rent and Additional Rent shall xxxxx in proportion to that part of the Premises that is unfit for use in Tenant’s business. The abatement shall consider the nature and extent of interference to Tenant’s ability to conduct business in the Premises and the need for access and essential services. The abatement shall continue from the date the damage occurred until ten (10) business days after Landlord completes the repairs and restoration to the Relevant Space or the part rendered unusable and notice to Tenant that the repairs and restoration are completed, or until Tenant again uses the Premises or the part rendered unusable, whichever occurs first. Tenant assumes risk of lost revenue during any period of damage, destruction, repair or restoration of the

Premises. Tenant is accordingly urged to procure loss of business insurance to cover some or all of that lost revenue.

6.01(e). Tenant’s Property. Notwithstanding anything else in Section 6, Landlord is not obligated to repair or restore damage to Tenant’s trade fixtures, furniture, equipment, or other personal property, or any Tenant improvements.

(iii) the damage is not covered by Landlord’s insurance required by paragraphs 5.01(a) and (b); or

(iv) the Lease is in the last twelve (12) months of its Term,

then Landlord may cancel this Lease. To cancel, Landlord must give notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the Landlord knows of the damage. The notice must specify the cancellation date, which shall be at least thirty (30) but not more than sixty (60) days after the date notice is given.

6.01(g). Cancellation. If either party cancels this Lease as permitted by paragraph 6.01, then this Lease shall end on the day specified in the cancellation notice. The Rent, Additional Rent, and other charges shall be payable up to the cancellation date and shall account for any abatement. Landlord shall promptly refund to Tenant any prepaid, unaccrued Rent and Additional Rent, accounting for any abatement, plus security deposit, if any, less any sum then owing by Tenant to Landlord. If Landlord cancels this Lease as permitted by paragraph 6.01, then Landlord must also cancel all other similarly affected tenant leases in the Building.

6.02. Condemnation.

6.02(a). Definitions. The terms “eminent domain,” “condemnation,” “taken,” and the like in paragraph 6.02 include takings for public or quasi-public use and private purchases in place of condemnation by any authority authorized to exercise the power of eminent domain.

6.02(b). Entire Taking. If the entire Premises or the portions of the Building required for reasonable access to, or the reasonable use of, the Premises are taken by eminent domain, this Lease shall automatically end on the earlier of:

(i) the date title vests; or

(ii) the date Tenant is dispossessed by the condemning authority.

6. 02(c). Partial Taking. If the taking of a part of the Premises materially interferes with Tenant’s ability to continue its business operations in substantially the same manner and space then Tenant may end this Lease on the earlier of:

(i) the date when title vests;

(ii) the date Tenant is dispossessed by the condemning authority; or

(iii) sixty (60) days following notice to Tenant of the date when vesting or dispossession is to occur.

If there is a partial taking and this Lease continues, then the Lease shall end as to the part taken and the Rent and Additional Rent shall xxxxx in proportion to the part of the Premises taken and Tenant’s pro rata share shall be equitably reduced.

6.02(d). Termination by Landlord. If title to a part of the Building other than the Premises is condemned, and in the Landlord’s reasonable opinion, the Building should be restored in a manner that materially alters the Premises, Landlord may cancel this Lease by giving notice to Tenant. Cancellation notice shall be given within sixty (60) days following the date title vested. This Lease shall end on the date specified in the cancellation notice, which date shall be at least thirty (30) days but not more than ninety (90) days after the date notice is given.

6.02(e). Rent Adjustment. If the Lease is canceled as provided in paragraphs 6.02(b), (c), or (d), then the Rent, Additional Rent, and other charges shall be payable up to the cancellation date, and shall account for any abatement. Landlord, considering any abatement, shall promptly refund to Tenant any prepaid, unaccrued Rent and Additional Rent plus Security Deposit, if any, less any sum then owing by Tenant to Landlord.

6.02(f). Repair. If the Lease is not canceled as provided for in paragraphs 6.02(b), (c), or (d), then Landlord at its expense shall promptly repair and restore the Premises to the condition that existed immediately before the taking, except for the part taken, to render the Premises a complete architectural unit, but only to the extent of the:

(i) condemnation award received for the damage; and

(ii) Building Standard Work.

6.02(g). Awards and Damages. Landlord reserves all rights to damages paid because of any partial or entire taking of the Premises. Tenant assigns to Landlord any right Tenant may have to. the damages or award. Further, Tenant shall not make claims against Landlord or the condemning authority for damages.

Notwithstanding anything else in Paragraph 6.02(g), Tenant may claim and recover from the condemning authority a separate award for Tenant’s moving expenses, business dislocation damages, Tenant’s personal property and fixtures, the unamortized costs of leasehold improvements paid for by Tenant, excluding the Landlord’s Buildout, and any other award that would not substantially reduce the award payable to Landlord. Each party shall seek its own award, as limited by paragraph 6.02(g), at its own expense, and neither shall have any right to the award made to the other.

6.02(h). Temporary Condemnation. If part or all of the Premises are condemned for a limited period of time (Temporary Condemnation), this Lease shall remain in effect. The Rent and Additional Rent and Tenant’s obligations for the part of the Premises taken shall xxxxx during the Temporary Condemnation in proportion to the part of the Premises

Landlord shall retain its remedies against Tenant who holds over without written consent.

Tenant shall have the dominant position on any free standing signs associated with the Building. Tenant shall not place or suffer to be placed or maintained upon any exterior door, roof, wall or window of the Premises or the Building any sign, awning, canopy or advertising matter or other thing of any kind, and will not place or maintain any decoration, lettering or advertising matter on the glass of any window or door of the Premises or the Building without first obtaining Landlord’s express prior written consent, which consent will not be

unreasonably withheld. Tenant further agrees to maintain such sign, lettering or other thing as may be approved by Landlord in good condition and repair at all times at Tenant’s expense and to remove the same at the end of the term of this Lease as and if requested by Landlord. Upon removal thereof, Tenant agrees to repair any damage to the Premises caused by such installation and/or removal.

SECTION 13—HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

Tenant hereby represents and agrees that it will not use, handle, store, transport or dispose of or permit the use, handling, storage, transportation or disposal of hazardous or toxic substances, as those terms may be defined or used in any local, state, or federal environmental, hazardous substance or land or water use laws or regulations, and that any intentional use or accidental spillage of such substance will be cleaned up by Tenant immediately after such occurrence. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and save harmless Landlord from and against all loss, costs, expenses, fines, penalties, reimbursement costs and damages (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) that result from Tenant’s, their employees’, agents’, customers’ or clients’ use of the Premises, arising under any provision of local, state or federal law, including common law, which prohibits or regulates the use, handling, storage, transportation or disposal of a hazardous or toxic substance or which requires removal or remedial action and the costs of removal or remedial action of such hazardous or toxic substance, including any fines levied in connection therewith, whether such costs of response are incurred by the Landlord or any local, state or federal governments or by other persons and including any personal injuries suffered in connection therewith. To the best of Landlord’s knowledge, without having a duty for independent inquiry or investigation, no hazardous or toxic substances or asbestos exist on the Premises as of the date hereof and, if it is subsequently determined that hazardous or toxic substances or asbestos existed on the Premises as of the date hereof, Landlord will at its expense use reasonable efforts to remove it, will test the areas affected and ultimately provide Tenant with “clean” test results, and will indemnify and hold Tenant, its agents and employees harmless from any loss or liability, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection therewith.

SECTION 14—CONSTRUCTION OF PREMISES

14.01. Landlord’s Work. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord anticipates constructing the Building prior to the Beginning Date. Landlord shall construct the Premises and the Building substantially in accordance with the specifications set forth in Exhibit B (“Landlord’s Work”). The Building design will meet all requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Landlord’s obligation to perform this Lease is contingent upon its receipt of all local development orders from appropriate governmental agencies required to authorize construction of Landlord’s Work. Tenant acknowledges that it has no right to attend or otherwise participate in construction progress meetings between Landlord and its general contractor. Landlord shall have the right to run utility lines, pipes, roof drainage lines, conduits, duct work and/or component parts of mechanical and electrical through the Premises to service other tenants and Building areas, and Landlord shall have the right to repair, alter, replace or remove the same, and to require Tenant to maintain proper access to any panels thereto installed by Landlord; provided, however, in performing such work Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to not reduce the usable area of the Premises or unreasonably impair Tenant’s ability to operate its business in the Premises. The Premises, prior to occupancy, will be delivered to Tenant by Landlord in a neat and clean condition, free of any Hazardous Substance (including, without limitation, any asbestos or asbestos-containing material). Landlord agrees, without cost to Landlord, to fully cooperate with Tenant in obtaining the required Building Permit for Tenant’s Construction, and in obtaining an unconditional permanent Certificate of Occupancy, or the local equivalent thereof.

14.02. Tenant’s Construction. Tenant acknowledges receipt of Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of a complete set of all drawings and architectural plans and specifications with respect to the Building (including a utilities plan and a mechanical and electrical plan) and other plans and specifications and information (the “Building Information”) pertaining to or used in connection with the construction of the Building necessary for the Tenant’s architect to prepare Tenant’s Plans for Tenant’s improvements to the Premises (“Tenant’s Improvements”). Tenant’s Improvements shall comply with the provisions of this Lease dealing with Alterations. Prior to commencement of Tenant’s Improvements, Tenant shall supply Landlord with Tenant’s Plans. Tenant’s Plans shall be compatible with the Building Information and must comply with all applicable laws, ordinances and building codes and must be approved by Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Tenant shall commence construction promptly and thereafter pursue construction to completion diligently and in a good and workmanlike manner. Tenant shall be responsible for all costs and expenses in connection with the design, permitting, construction and completion of Tenant’s Improvements.

14.03. Tenant Improvement Allowance. Landlord agrees to reimburse up to Twenty and 00/100 Dollars ($20.00) per usable square foot contained in the Premises (the “Allowance”) toward the hard construction cost of completion of the Tenant’s Construction excluding cost of permits, bond premiums (if any), Certificate of Occupancy, architect’s fees and all other soft costs of such construction. Landlord will fund the Allowance to Tenant upon completed work certified by Tenant’s architect as being compete and subject to inspection by and approval of Landlord or its representative within ten (10) days after the latest to occur of (I) delivery from Tenant to Landlord of a Certificate of Occupancy for the Premises, (ii) approval of draw requests by Tenant and Landlord, and (iii) proof of payment by Tenant of the sum Tenant seeks from Landlord in reimbursement. No final payment shall be made unless a final release of lien has been provided by Tenant’s general contractor with a final contractor’s affidavit of substantial completion and a Certificate of Occupancy by all applicable governmental authorities. If the cost to complete the Tenant’s Construction is less than the amount of the Allowance, the undisbursed portion thereof shall not be held by Landlord as a credit to Tenant against the Rent coming due under this Lease and Tenant shall have no further right, title or interest in the Allowance. Tenant shall be responsible for all cost and expense in connection with the construction and completion of Tenant’s Construction, except for the amount of the Allowance.

SECTION 15—OPTIONS TO EXTEND

15.01. First Extension Option. If this Lease has not been terminated, Tenant may extend this Lease for a period of five (5) years (the First Extension Term) beginning immediately after the Term, upon the same terms and conditions of the Lease, except that:

(i) the Term shall be modified as stated above;

(ii) there shall be no Tenant Improvement Allowance;

(iii) the Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be calculated as follows:

each appoint an MAI appraiser who will collectively appoint a third MAI appraiser. The three appraisers shall by majority vote determine then Current Market Rental Rate within forty-five (45) days after the appointment of the last of the three appraisers. The determination of the majority of the appraisers shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant as the then Current Market Rental Rate for the first year of the First Extension Term. Landlord and Tenant shall each pay one-half (2) of the costs incurred in determining the then Current Market Rental Rate. The CPI for the second to last month (most recently published) prior to the first year of the First Extension Term shall be fixed and established as the base index figure (“Base CPI”). At the beginning of the first and each succeeding Lease Year during the First Extension Term, the CPI for the second to last month (most recently published) preceding the beginning of such period shall be ascertained and noted (“First Extension Adjustment CPI”). The Base Rent for the ensuing years of the First Extension Term shall be adjusted by increasing the Base Rent each year by the greater of (i) that percentage which the First Extension Adjustment CPI has increased over the Base CPI, or (ii) by multiplying the Base Rent for the most recent lease year by three percent (3%). The same procedure shall be used for each succeeding year during the First Extension Term to calculate the amount of annual increases to Base Rent during each year of the First Extension Term of the Lease; provided, however, that Base Rent shall never increase by less than three percent (3%) even if CPI increases by less than three percent (3%) from one Lease Year to the next or CPI decreases. “CPI” has the meaning ascribed to it in this Lease.

15.02. Second Extension Option. If this Lease has not been terminated, Tenant may extend this Lease for a period of five (5) years (the Second Extension Term) beginning immediately after the First Extension Term, upon the same terms and conditions of the Lease, except that:

(i) the Term shall be modified as stated above;

(ii) there shall be no Tenant Improvement Allowance;

(iii) the Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be calculated as follows:

Rent for the Premises shall be Additional Rent as provided in the Lease and adjusted from time to time plus the then Current Market Rental Rate increased at the end of the first year of the Second Extension Term and each succeeding Lease Year during the Second Extension Term as hereafter provided, effective on the first month of the new Lease Year and payable in equal monthly installments. Current Market Rental Rate shall mean the market value, including Operating Expenses for comparable space within Xxxxxxx County having regard for similar characteristics of use, age of building, quality of building, construction and location. If, within sixty (60) days prior to the end of the First Extension Term of the Lease, Landlord and Tenant cannot agree as to the then Current Market Rental Rate after a diligent and good faith effort to do so, they shall each appoint an MAI appraiser who will collectively appoint a third MAI appraiser. The three appraisers shall by majority vote determine then Current Market Rental Rate within forty-five (45) days after the appointment of the last of the three appraisers. The determination of the majority of the appraisers shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant as the then Current Market Rental Rate for the first year of the Second Extension Term. Landlord and Tenant shall each pay one-half (2) of the costs incurred in determining the then Current Market Rental Rate. The CPI for the second to last month (most recently published) prior to the first year of the Second Extension Term shall be fixed and established as the base index figure (“Base CPI”). At the beginning of the first and each succeeding Lease Year during the Second Extension Term, the CPI for the second to last month (most recently published) preceding the beginning of such period shall be ascertained and noted (“Second Extension Adjustment CPI”). The Base Rent for the ensuing years of the Second Extension Term shall be adjusted by increasing the Base Rent each year by the greater of (i) that

percentage which the Second Extension Adjustment CPI has increased over the Base CPI, or (ii) three percent (3%). The same procedure shall be used for each succeeding year during the Second Extension Term to calculate the amount of annual increases to Base Rent during each year of the Second Extension Term of the Lease; provided, however, that Base Rent shall never increase by less than three percent (3%) even if CPI increases by less than three percent (3%) from one Lease Year to the next or CPI decreases. ACPI@ has the meaning ascribed to it in this Lease.

15.03. Conditions. The Options to Extend shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect if the Lease ever terminates. To exercise the Option to Extend Tenant must:

(i) not be in default at the time it exercises the Option to Extend;

(ii) not have failed to pay part or all of the Rent within ten (10) days after it was due on more than three (3) occasions within any twelve (12) month period during the Term or First Extension Term of the Lease; and

(iii) give written notice to Landlord that Tenant is exercising its Option to Extend at least one hundred and eighty (180) days but not more than two hundred and forty (240) days before the initial Term or First Extension Term, as the case may be, ends.

15.04. Notice of Election Not to Extend. Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph 15.03, Tenant shall provide written notice to Landlord should Tenant elect not to exercise the Option to Extend at least one hundred eighty (180) days before the initial Term ends. Time shall be of the essence to Tenant’s notice obligation under this paragraph and paragraph 15.03, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, Tenant’s right to extend the Term of this Lease shall automatically terminate if Tenant does not provide notice of its intention to extend in strict compliance with paragraph 15.03 of this Lease.

SECTION 16—RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

Provided Tenant is not then in default under the Lease, Tenant shall have the right exercisable on seven (7) business days prior written notice to lease any space contiguous to the Premises on the same terms and conditions as the Landlord may receive in writing from and signed by a third party. Such right of first refusal shall not apply to renewals or extensions of leases currently in effect in the Building. If Landlord receives a bona fide, arm’s length offer from some third party for the lease thereof which Landlord wishes to accept, Landlord shall furnish a copy of the offer to Tenant within seven (7) business days after receipt from the third party, and offer to lease the space to Tenant with the same deposit on the same terms and conditions, using the same lease form. Tenant shall have seven (7) business days after receipt of an offer from Landlord within which to give written notice to Landlord of Tenant’s election to lease the space on the same terms and conditions and deliver the deposit to Landlord. Upon a timely election to lease, Landlord and Tenant shall be deemed to have (i) entered into a written lease with the same terms, conditions, and form as made by the third-party and Landlord and Tenant shall thereafter execute and deliver a lease to that effect (the “Expansion Space Lease”); and (ii) extended the then current term of this Lease to the ending date of the Expansion Space Lease; provided, however, that the then current term of this Lease shall not under any circumstances be shortened even if the Expansion Space Lease ends prior to the Ending Date of this Lease. If Landlord does not receive the deposit and a timely written election to lease from Tenant within the seven (7) business days, it is an election by Tenant not to lease. All rights of first refusal end upon an election not to lease as provided above.
