ARTICLE II

TERM AND POSSESSION

2.01 Commencement and Expiration. The “Lease Term” or “Term” of this Lease shall be the period of time specified in Section 1.01C, as the same may be extended or renewed pursuant to the terms hereof. The Term shall commence on the Commencement Date. For purposes hereof, the “Delivery Date” shall be the date Landlord delivers exclusive possession of the Initial Premises to Tenant, vacant and broom-clean, free of tenancies and occupants, with the Tenant Improvements (as hereinafter defined) Substantially Complete (as hereinafter defined), with all mechanical and utility systems serving the Premises in good working order and condition, free from Hazardous Material (as hereinafter defined) and in compliance with Applicable Law (as hereinafter defined) (collectively, the “Delivery Condition”), or such earlier date that Tenant takes possession of the Premises and commences use of the Premises for its regular business operations. Landlord shall deliver the Initial Premises to Tenant in the Delivery Condition within one (1) business day after Landlord Substantially Completes the Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall give Tenant not less than five (5) business days’ prior written notice of the date that the Tenant Improvements shall be Substantially Complete.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if the Delivery Date does not occur on or before the Scheduled Delivery Date, then Tenant, as its sole remedy, shall be entitled to receive a credit against the Base Rent due under this Lease in the amount of Nine Hundred Forty Three Dollars ($943.00) per day for each day of delay after the Scheduled Delivery Date until the occurrence of the Delivery Date (the “Late Delivery Credit”). The Late Delivery Credit, if applicable, shall be applied against the Base Rent beginning on the Rent Commencement Date and continue from day to day thereafter until Tenant has received the full value of the Late Delivery Credit. The Scheduled Delivery Date shall be extended by the cumulative periods, if any, of Tenant Delays as described in EXHIBIT D and force majeure events (provided that extension due to force majeure events shall not exceed a total of ninety (90) days).

The Lease shall expire without notice to Tenant on the Expiration Date shown in Section 1.01C, as the same may be extended pursuant to the terms of this Lease.

The Initial Premises Plan Approval Date shall be confirmed in a letter agreement prepared by Landlord and countersigned by Tenant within five (5) days after the Initial Premises Plan Approval Date. The Delivery Date shall be confirmed by Landlord and Tenant by execution of an “Acceptance of Premises Amendment” substantially in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT C as further defined in Section 2.02 and executed by Landlord and Tenant within ten (10) days after the Delivery Date. If the Delivery Date does not occur on or before the Scheduled Delivery Date, except for the Late Delivery Credit and extension of the Rent Commencement Date resulting from Landlord Delays (if applicable), Landlord shall not be liable for any damage caused thereby nor shall this Lease become void or voidable, nor shall the Term be extended. If Landlord permits Tenant to enter into possession of the Premises prior to the Delivery Date, all of the terms and conditions of this Lease (other than the obligation to pay Rent shall apply to such prior period. Tenant shall have the right to enter the Premises twenty-one (21) days prior to the Delivery Date (the “Early Access Period”) for the purpose of installing Tenant’s computer and telephone cabling and installing fixtures, furniture, and equipment, provided that (a) such entry will not delay or hamper the completion of the Tenant Improvements, (b) Tenant and its vendors and contractors have obtained all governmentally required permits separate from any permits obtained by Landlord as to work to be performed by Landlord, if any, (c) Landlord may reasonably restrict Tenant’s or its contractors’ early access to the Premises if such access unreasonably interferes with, hampers, or prevents completion of the Tenant Improvements at the earliest possible date, (d) Tenant’s access to the Premises shall be subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Lease, except as to the payment of Rent, (e) any entry by Tenant in the Premises prior to the Delivery Date shall be at Tenant’s sole risk and subject to Tenant coordination with Landlord’s project or property manager, (f) all work by Tenant’s contractors is subject to the reasonable administrative supervision of Landlord and its contractor, but at no additional cost to Tenant, and (g) Tenant has delivered all required certificates of insurance to Landlord. Landlord assumes no responsibility or liability for injury to persons or damage to property caused by the Tenant’s access to the Premises during the Early Access Period. Tenant shall adopt a schedule for its work in conformance with Landlord’s schedule for the Tenant Improvements and shall conduct its work in such a manner as to maintain harmonious labor relations. All delays to the Tenant Improvements caused solely by Tenant’s early access shall be deemed a Tenant Delay.

2.02 Construction of Tenant Improvements and Possession. Landlord will perform or cause to be performed the work set forth on EXHIBIT D attached hereto (“Tenant Improvements”). Landlord shall perform the Tenant Improvements in accordance with the terms of EXHIBIT D, subject to Tenant Delays, and force majeure events for which Landlord will not be liable to Tenant in any way (other than the Late Delivery Credit and the extension of the Rent Commencement Date, if applicable). The Acceptance of Premises Amendment shall, in addition to fixing the Initial Premises Plan Approval Date and the Delivery Date, include acknowledgments that Tenant has accepted the Premises in their then present condition, except for minor “punch list” items agreed to in writing by Landlord and Tenant, which Landlord will promptly remedy, and latent defects, which Landlord shall correct in accordance with this Section 2.02. If Tenant takes exclusive possession of the Premises and commences the operation of its regular business, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the Premises even though the Acceptance of Premises Amendment may not have yet been executed. Landlord shall correct any latent defects in the Premises and the Tenant Improvements of which Tenant notifies Landlord within one (1) year after the Commencement Date, and shall enforce all construction and contractor’s warranties obtained in connection with the Tenant Improvements to the extent required to correct any latent defects or other defective conditions in the Tenant Improvements. Other than Tenant Improvements and as otherwise set forth in this Section 2.02, Tenant shall make all other necessary improvements to the Premises to operate Tenant’s business (“Tenant’s Work”). Tenant’s Work shall comply with all applicable federal state and local statutes, ordinances, regulations and codes (collectively, “Applicable Law”) and shall strictly comply with the requirements of Section 7.03 hereof. Landlord shall perform the Tenant Improvements in a good and workmanlike manner, using new materials, and in accordance with all Applicable Law.

2.03 Surrender of the Premises.

Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises and all keys to the Premises to Landlord, together with all Alterations (as hereinafter defined) and other property as provided elsewhere herein, in broom-clean condition and in good order, condition and repair, except for ordinary wear and tear, damage by casualty and condemnation, and such damage as Tenant is not obligated to repair. In the event that Tenant fails to surrender possession of the Premises in accordance with this Lease, Landlord may restore the Premises to the required condition at Tenant’s expense, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for the actual out of pocket cost incurred by Landlord to perform such work. Upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove its property (as described in Section 7.04). Any items of Tenant’s property that shall remain in the Premises after the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term, may, at the option of Landlord, be deemed to have been abandoned, and in that case, those items may be retained by Landlord as its property to be disposed of by Landlord, without accountability to Tenant or any other party, in the manner Landlord shall reasonably determine, at Tenant’s expense. Tenant shall promptly repair any damage caused by any such removal.

Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, including, without limitation, this Section 2.03, at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall not be required to remove the Tenant Improvements (including the Internal Stairwell (as hereinafter defined)), or any wiring or cabling installed by Landlord or Tenant. In addition, Tenant shall not be obligated to remove Tenant’s Work or any Alterations which are not Specialty Alterations (as hereinafter defined). For purposed hereof “Specialty Alterations” means alterations, installations or improvement performed by Tenant which are not standard for a typical office build-out, such as reinforced floors, executive bathrooms or internal staircases (other than the Internal Stairwell), the cost of which to remove is materially in excess of the cost to remove a typical office alteration, installation or improvement. Landlord shall advise Tenant at the time Landlord consents to Tenant’s Work and any Alterations whether Tenant’s Work or Alteration, or any portion thereof, shall be deemed a Specialty Alteration which must be removed at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, and if Landlord fails to so advise Tenant in writing at the time Landlord consents to Tenant’s Work or any such Alteration, Landlord shall be deemed to have waived its right to require Tenant to remove any portion of Tenant’s Work or such Alteration at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Except for Specialty Alterations which Tenant is expressly required to remove pursuant to this Section 2.03, Tenant shall have no obligation to remove Tenant’s Work or any Alterations or otherwise restore the Premises at the end of this Lease.

2.04 Holding Over. If Tenant shall remain in possession of the Premises after the expiration of the Term without Landlord’s consent (a “Holdover”), Tenant shall be deemed to be occupying the Premises as a Tenant at sufferance, which tenancy may be terminated as provided by Applicable Law. Tenant agrees that a Holdover shall cause irreparable damage to Landlord and that it will be impossible to estimate or determine the damage that will be suffered by Landlord in such an event. Therefore during such tenancy, For the first thirty (30) days of any Holdover, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Base Rent which was payable in the month immediately preceding the month in which the expiration or termination occurs, on monthly basis without reduction for any partial month occupied, and thereafter one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent which was payable in the month immediately preceding the month in which the expiration or termination occurs, on a per diem basis for the actual number of days of Holdover, and shall otherwise be bound by all of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the termination of this Lease, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord arising therefrom Tenant shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any loss or liability resulting from such failure from whatever source; provided, however, that in no event shall Tenant be liable for any consequential or incidental damages incurred by Landlord or any third party resulting from a Holdover not in excess of ninety (90) days.

ARTICLE III

Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Base Rent for the Premises the annual sum specified in Section 1.01D, payable in equal consecutive monthly installments as specified in said Item D, in advance, on or before the first day of each and every calendar month during the Term without demand, notice or offset, except as expressly permitted under this Lease; provided, however, that if the Commencement Date shall be a day other than the first day of a calendar month, the Base Rent installment for such first fractional month shall be prorated on the basis of the number of days during the month this Lease was in effect in relation to the total number of days in such month.

(c) “Insurance Expenses” shall mean insurance premiums on insurance coverage which is required to be carried by Landlord under this Lease or which Landlord may elect to carry in Landlord’s reasonable discretion, provided such additional insurance is consistent with the types and amounts of insurance maintained by reasonably prudent landlords owning Comparable Buildings; provided, however, that in no event shall insurance policies and/or coverages required to be maintained by Tenant hereunder be increased more than three (3) times during the Lease Term.

(d) Tenant’s “Pro Rata Share” shall mean the percentage specified in Section 1.01B, as the same may be adjusted from time to time during the Lease Term.

(e) “Base Year” shall mean the calendar year identified in Section 1.01B.

(f) “Adjustment Year” shall mean any calendar year or portion thereof during the Term of the Lease commencing with the year after the Base Year. In the event the last Adjustment Year is not a full calendar year, the Additional Rent payable under Section 3.02A.2 with respect to such partial year shall be prorated.

(g) Landlord and Tenant intend that Operating Expenses paid by Tenant under this Lease reimburse Landlord for any actual increase in Operating Expenses incurred by Landlord but not provide a profit to Landlord. In no event shall Operating Expenses per rentable square foot, as reasonably determined by Landlord for any Adjustment Year, multiplied by the rentable area of the Building, exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the actual Operating Expenses incurred by Landlord in such Adjustment Year. Operating Expenses for each Adjustment Year shall always be determined in a manner consistent with the determination of Operating Expenses for the Base Year. To the extent that any Operating Expenses pertain to property other than the Building or the Land, or benefit users other than Building tenants and their guests, a reasonable, equitable and consistent allocation shall be made in the Base Year and each Adjustment Year to ensure that Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses pertains only to costs reasonably and equitably allocated to the Building and the Land.

2. Payment Obligations. If in any Adjustment Year during the Term the Operating Expenses exceed the Operating Expenses for the Base Year, then Tenant shall pay as Additional Rent for such Adjustment Year its Pro Rata Share of the Operating Expenses in excess of the Operating Expenses for the Base Year.

In no event shall the provisions of this Section 3.02 reduce the Base Rent specified in Section 1.01D.

3. Succeeding Year Expenses. Prior to the beginning of each Adjustment Year (including the Base Year), Landlord shall advise Tenant of Landlord’s reasonably estimated amount, if any, of the increase in Operating Expenses over the Base Year, for the upcoming Adjustment Year, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of such estimated increase in equal monthly installments on the first day of each month during that Adjustment Year together with the Base Rent. A statement showing the actual Operating Expenses incurred by Landlord for such Adjustment Year and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share thereof (an “Annual Statement”) shall be delivered by Landlord to Tenant within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end the Base Year and each Adjustment Year, with reasonably detailed supporting documentation if requested by Tenant. Within thirty (30) days after delivery by Landlord to Tenant of such Annual Statement, Tenant shall pay to Landlord its Pro Rata Share of the excess Operating Expenses which shall be deemed Additional Rent under this Lease, and if Tenant overpaid Operating Expenses for such Adjustment Year, Landlord shall refund such overpayment to Tenant within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Annual Statement. Unless Tenant objects in writing to an Annual Statement within nine (9) months after receipt of an Annual Statement, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted such Annual Statement and shall thereafter be estopped from challenging same.

4. Audit Rights. Provided Tenant has paid the amounts set forth in an Annual Statement and no Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) is outstanding under this Lease, Tenant has given timely written to notice of objection to Landlord as required under Section 3 above (“Tenant’s Audit Notice”), then Tenant may, upon 30 days’ prior written notice to Landlord, examine Landlord’s books and records pertaining to Operating Expenses covered by the disputed Annual Statement (an “Audit”), provided that: (i) the Audit shall not be conducted by a person or entity being compensated on a percentage of recovery or other contingency fee basis, (ii) the Audit will be conducted during Landlord’s regular business hours at the office where Landlord maintains Operating Expenses records (or Landlord shall provide Tenant with electronic copies of such records), (iii) Tenant agrees to maintain any books and records obtained from Landlord and the results of any review or audit performed in accordance with this provision confidential, and will not disclose such information except to its consultants performing the review/audit, its lawyers, and accountants, and consultants, and Tenant shall inform such parties of the confidential nature of such information; provided that such information may be disclosed in connection with any judicial or administrative proceeding; when such information is subpoenaed or otherwise required by law or a court order; in connection with any litigation concerning the rights and obligations of the parties; or to any governmental or quasi-governmental agency, or as to any information which becomes generally available to the public, except as a result of a disclosure by either party in violation of this provision, and (iv) the Audit must be completed within 120 days after the date of Tenant’s Audit Notice, pertain to only that Annual Statement and be conducted no more than once per year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may defer its Audit of Operating Expenses for the Base Year until its first Audit of Operating Expenses for any Adjustment Year. Within thirty (30) days after Tenant's Audit Notice, Landlord shall afford Tenant or any of Tenant’s employees or consultants designated by Tenant, full access to such documents (including documents which may be stored in an electronic medium) as are in Landlord's possession or control (whether or not such documents are located in the Building) and which are necessary to conduct the audit including, without limitation, canceled checks, invoices, and such other documents as may be reasonably requested by Tenant, all of which documents shall be maintained in accordance with GAAP. In the event that it is ultimately determined that Landlord has overcharged any amount paid by Tenant in respect of Operating Expenses for which a refund would be due Tenant which exceeds five percent (5%) of the total so paid by Tenant for an Adjustment Year and Tenant has not previously conducted an Audit for two (2) years preceding the Adjustment Year for which the Audit is being conducted, Tenant shall have the right to conduct an Audit for any prior Adjustment Years for which Tenant had not previously conducted an Audit to determine whether refunds are due for any such prior Adjustment Years. Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant as to facilitate the performance of Tenant's Audit. If Landlord and Tenant determine that Operating Expenses are more or less than reported, Tenant shall promptly pay the difference to Landlord, or Landlord shall promptly pay to Tenant, or provide Tenant with a credit against future Rent in the amount of the difference, as the case may be; provided, that if the Lease has expired or terminated, Landlord shall promptly refund such overpayment to Tenant. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the actual and reasonable costs of photocopying or transferring to digital media any books and records requested by Tenant in an amount equal to the actual cost charged to Landlord by third party copy services or $.25 per page should the copies be made with Landlord’s photocopying equipment. If it is finally determined that the disputed Annual Statement contains an error in excess of five percent (5%) of the total amount of the amount set forth in the Annual Statement, Landlord shall pay Tenant’s reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses to conduct the Audit. If the parties cannot resolve any dispute as to Operating Expenses within thirty (30) days after Tenant submits the results of an Audit to Landlord, the such dispute shall be submitted to arbitration within ten (10) days after the expiration of such thirty (30) day period and shall be settled in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in force with the following exceptions: There shall be a single arbitrator selected by the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator shall have at least ten years’ experience in accounting and the supervision of the operation and management of Comparable Buildings, and shall not have been previously retained by either party or their respective affiliates. The determination of the arbitrator shall be final, binding, and conclusive on all the parties, and judgment may be rendered on it by any court having jurisdiction, upon application of either Landlord or Tenant. In the event that it is finally determined, by settlement or arbitration, that Tenant overpaid Operating Expenses for the Adjustment Year(s) which are the subject of dispute, then Landlord shall within thirty (30) days after such final determination, refund such amount, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate, provided that if Landlord fails to refund such amount to Tenant within such thirty (30) days, then Tenant may offset the amount of the overpayment as finally determined by settlement or arbitration (including interest) against Rent coming due under the Lease until the unpaid amounts are refunded in full. The fees and expenses of the arbitration shall be shared equally by the parties; provided, however, that if it is finally determined (through settlement or arbitration) that the Annual Statement with respect to the Adjustment Year(s) in question is/are greater than one hundred five percent (105%) of Tenant’s liability for Operating Expenses for such Adjustment Year(s), Landlord shall also be solely responsible for any fees and expenses that are payable to the arbitrator. Each party shall pay its own attorney’s fees and costs.

B. Improved Operating Efficiency. If Landlord shall, at any time after the Commencement Date, install a labor-saving device or other equipment, which improves the operating efficiency of any system within the Building (such as an energy management computer system) and as a result of such installation, Operating Expenses or the cost of electricity to operate the Building are reduced (a “Cost Savings Capital Item”), based upon Landlord’s reasonable determination, then Landlord may add to Operating Expenses an annual amortization allowance based upon the actual out of pocket cost of such Cost Savings Capital Item, plus interest at the rate of 10% per annum on the unamortized balance thereof, amortized in equal installments over the useful life of such Cost Savings Capital Item as determined under GAAP; provided, however, that the amount of such annual amortization allowance and interest shall not exceed the annual savings in Operating Expenses for such Adjustment Year as set forth in a report to Tenant prepared by an unaffiliated third party establishing such cost savings in the pertinent Adjustment Year , and in no event shall such amortization allowance increase the sum of Operating Expenses over what it would have been if such Cost Savings Capital Item had not been installed.

C. Cap on Controllable Expenses. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, for purposes of computing Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Operating Expenses, Controllable Expenses (as defined in this section) for any Adjustment Year shall not exceed the Cap Amount (as also defined in this section) for that calendar year. The “Cap Amount” for any given Adjustment Year during the Lease Term shall be an amount determined by increasing the Controllable Expenses for the Base Year by 5% per annum on a cumulative and compounding basis. “Controllable Expenses” shall mean all Operating Expenses other than Taxes, Insurance Expenses and utility costs. In no event shall this cap apply to Operating Expenses other than Controllable Expenses. For example, if Controllable Expenses were $100.00 in 2014, then the total Controllable Expenses that could be included in Operating Expenses in 2015 would be $105.00, for 2016 the amount would be $110.25, for 2017 the amount would be $115.76, and so on. In the preceding example, if Controllable Expenses in both 2016 and 2017 were $112.00, then Landlord could include only $110.25 in Operating Expenses in 2016, but could include $112.00 (the Controllable Expenses plus the carry-forward from 2016) in 2017.

The foregoing Cap on Controllable Expenses shall also pertain to any particular work or service provided by Landlord in any Adjustment Year following the Base Year and to the addition of a “line item” to Operating Expenses in an Adjustment Year that was not furnished or included in the Base Year to the extent the expense item is considered a Controllable Expense as defined above.

D. Replacement of Air Handlers/VAV Boxes. Landlord agrees that Tenant shall not be responsible for any costs or expenses incurred by Landlord in the event replacement of air handler units or VAV boxes serving the floors of Tenant’s Premises is necessitated in the course of Landlord’s operation of the Building at any point during the Term, and such costs and expenses shall not be included in Operating Expenses.

3.03 Definition of Rent. The Base Rent, Additional Rent and any other amounts of money to be paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, including any sums due under any and all Exhibits attached hereto, and including Tenant’s obligation to pay the Security Deposit and to restore it from time to time, whether or not such payments are denominated Base Rent or Additional Rent and whether or not they are to be periodic or recurring, shall be sometimes collectively referred to as “rent” for purposes of this Lease; and any failure to pay any of the same as provided in this Lease shall entitle Landlord to exercise all of the rights and remedies afforded hereby or by law for the collection and enforcement of Tenant’s obligation to pay rent. Tenant’s obligation to pay any such rent pursuant to the provisions of this Lease is independent of Landlord’s obligations hereunder, and shall survive the expiration or other termination of this Lease and the surrender of possession of the Premises after any Holdover period.

3.04 Late Charge. If any payment due Landlord under this lease has not been received by Landlord within five (5) business days after the date such payment is due, Tenant shall pay a late charge of five percent (5%) of the amount of the late payment and an additional five percent (5%) late charge may be charged on the first day of each calendar month thereafter until the delinquent payment has been paid in full; provided, that in no event shall the charges permitted under this Section 3.04 or elsewhere in this Lease, to the extent they are considered to be interest under applicable law, exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no late charge shall be assessed on the first late payment in any calendar year during the Term.

3.05 Rent Abatement. Landlord has agreed to xxxxx Base Rent (“Free Rent”) in an amount of the Base Rent due for months 1-12 (i.e., $344,160.00 total/$28,680.00 per month) which shall be applied to the period commencing May 1, 2015 through April 30, 2016 until fully credited (the “Free Rent Period”). If, at any time during the first 12 months of the Term, an Event of Default occurs, the Free Rent shall be deemed automatically forfeited by Tenant and Landlord shall have no further obligation to provide the Free Rent credit thereafter, and Tenant shall immediately commence payment of Base Rent in accordance with the amount due in Section 1.01 of the Basic Lease Provisions. If, at any time during the Free Rent Period, an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) occurs, then the abatement of Base Rent provided for herein shall terminate and Tenant shall not be entitled to any further Free Rent from and after the date of default (but Tenant’s Prepaid rent shall continue to applied to rent then due); provided that, in the event Landlord terminates Tenant’s possession and is unable to collect the full amount of Rent from Tenant due under this Lease, then in addition to any other damages due Landlord, Tenant shall be obligated to pay to Landlord the unamortized amount of the Free Rent, if any, as of the date of the default.

ARTICLE IV

SECURITY DEPOSIT

4.01 Upon Tenant’s execution of this Lease, as security for the performance and observance by Tenant of all of its obligations under the terms, condition and covenants of this Lease, Tenant has deposited with Landlord (in the form of a Letter of Credit as defined below or cash security deposit) $150,000.00 (as such amount shall be increased pursuant to Section 1.01(G) hereof), which sum shall be held by Landlord as a security deposit during the Term, subject to Section 1.101(G)(b) (the “Security Deposit”). If Tenant performs and observes all of the terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease which are required to be performed and observed by it, Landlord shall return the Security Deposit, or balance thereof then held by Landlord, without interest, to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the Expiration Date or after Tenant surrenders possession of the Premises, whichever is later. In an Event of Default by Tenant in the payment of rent or the performance or observance of any of the other terms, conditions or covenants of this Lease, then Landlord may, at its option and without notice, apply only such portion of the Security Deposit as is reasonably necessary to cure such Event of Default,; and if Landlord does so, Tenant shall, upon request, deposit with Landlord the amount so applied so that Landlord will have on hand at all times during the Term the full amount of the Security Deposit. Landlord shall not be required to hold the Security Deposit as a separate account, but may commingle it with Landlord’s other funds to the extent permitted by Applicable Law. Tenant’s obligation to pay the Security Deposit and from time to time to restore the Security Deposit to the amount required under this Lease is in the nature of Additional Rent.

4.02 In the event of a sale or ground lease of the Building, Landlord shall have the right, upon notice to Tenant, to transfer the Security Deposit to its purchaser or ground tenant, and Landlord shall thereupon be released by Tenant from all responsibility for the return of such Security Deposit; and, Tenant agrees to look solely to the new purchaser or ground tenant for the return of the Security Deposit. In the event of an assignment of this Lease by Tenant, the Security Deposit shall be deemed to be held by Landlord as a deposit made by the assignee, and Landlord shall have no further responsibility of such Security Deposit to Tenant. Landlord may not transfer the Security Deposit to any person or entity, except in connection with (i) a sale or ground lease of the Building, (ii) in the event that the Existing Mortgagee, its successors or assigns (or any future mortgagee, its successors or assigns) takes title to the Building pursuant to a foreclosure of its mortgage or a deed in lieu of foreclosure, or (iii) any agreement between the Existing Mortgagee, its successors and assigns, and Tenant related to this Lease, including any non-disturbance agreement executed by Tenant and the Existing Mortgagee. Landlord acknowledges that Tenant shall replace the Initial Security Deposit with a Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms of Section 4.03 below, and that pursuant to the terms of the SNDA (as hereinafter defined) between Tenant, Landlord and the Existing Mortgagee, the Letter of Credit shall be issued in the name of Existing Mortgagee as beneficiary. Landlord hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Letter of Credit may be issued in the name of the Existing Mortgagee as beneficiary and same shall satisfy Tenant’s obligations under this Lease to deliver the Security Deposit to Landlord.

4.03 Letter of Credit. In the event Tenant elects to post all or part of the Security Deposit required under this Lease in the form of a letter of credit, then Tenant shall deliver to Landlord (as required by Section 1.01(G) an unconditional, irrevocable, transferable, and negotiable commercial Letter of Credit (the “Letter of Credit”) in the amounts specified in Section 1.01(G) (and increased as set forth in Section 1.01(F), which Letter of Credit has been issued by Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association (“Xxxxx Fargo”). The Letter of Credit and any amendments thereto may be issued by Xxxxx Fargo or other United States commercial bank or savings association which is reasonably acceptable to Landlord, with at least a AA- rating as published by Standard and Poor's Corporation or at least a Aa3 rating as published by Xxxxx'x, and shall name Landlord (or its successor as Landlord) as beneficiary, and shall be substantially in the form of EXHIBIT F to this Lease. Landlord reserves the right to periodically review the financial condition of the issuing bank for any Letter of Credit and any renewal or replacement Letter of Credit and if Landlord reasonably determines that the issuing bank no longer satisfies the criteria set forth above, Landlord may require a replacement Letter of Credit in form and substance and from a United States bank reasonably acceptable to Landlord which satisfies the criteria set forth above. The Letter of Credit shall provide for partial drawings. Landlord may draw upon the Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder only to the extent reasonably necessary to cure such Event of Default. The Letter of Credit shall have a term of at least 12 months, and it shall by its terms be renewed automatically each year by the bank, unless the bank gives written notice to the beneficiary, at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration date of the then existing Letter of Credit, that the bank elects that it not be renewed. If Tenant fails to provide a replacement Letter of Credit because the issuing bank no longer satisfies the criteria set forth above or if the Letter of Credit is ever not renewed and Tenant does not provide a replacement Letter of Credit prior to the date which is twenty-one (21) days prior to the expiration date, Landlord may draw on the entire amount of the Letter of Credit and will then hold the proceeds as a Security Deposit in accordance with the terms of this Lease. The Letter of Credit shall be transferable and the proceeds assignable. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all transfer fees incurred. If the financial institution which issued the initial Letter of Credit is ever declared insolvent or closed by the FDIC or other applicable governmental authority or is closed for any other reason (other than periodic branch closures which occur in the normal course of business), then Tenant shall, within 30 days after notice from Landlord, provide a substitute Letter of Credit to Landlord from another financial institution acceptable to Landlord in its reasonable discretion and which otherwise complies with the terms of this Section 4.03. Tenant agrees and acknowledges that Tenant has no property interest whatsoever in the Letter of Credit or the proceeds of it and that, in the event Tenant becomes a debtor under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, neither Tenant, any trustee, nor Tenant's bankruptcy estate shall have any right to restrict or limit Landlord's claim or rights to the Letter of Credit or the proceeds of it by application of Section 502(b)(6) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. Landlord acknowledges that the Letter of Credit may be provided by, and for the account of, JL Properties, Inc. (“JL Properties”). Tenant hereby represents to Landlord that JL Properties is an affiliate of JL-BBNC Mezz Utah, LLC, which is an investor or lender in Tenant, and JL Properties has agreed to provide the Letter of Credit in exchange for good and sufficient consideration. Accordingly, at all times while the Letter of Credit obtained by JL Properties remains in effect, Landlord agrees to give JL Properties copies of any notices of default given by Landlord to Tenant hereunder at the address set forth in Section 1.01(I), at the same time and in the same manner as notices of default are required to be given to Tenant hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, other than providing copies of default notices to JL Properties, Landlord shall have no obligation to JL Properties under this Lease nor shall JL Properties have any rights or claims of interest under this Lease to the Premises of any kind and Landlord shall only be required to deal directly with Tenant as to the obligations of Tenant to provide the Letter of Credit hereunder. In the event that the Landlord sells the Property and/or satisfies or refinances the indebtedness covered by the Existing Mortgage (as hereinafter defined) such that the Existing Mortgagee (or any successor of the Existing Mortgagee) no longer has any collateral interest in the Property, Landlord shall cause the Existing Mortgagee (or any successor of the Existing Mortgagee) to assign the Letter of Credit and transfer any unapplied proceeds thereof to Landlord, if Landlord is then the owner of the Property, or to Landlord’s successor, if Landlord has sold the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant is then entitled to the return of the Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms of Sections 4.01 or 4.04 hereof, Landlord shall cause the Existing Mortgagee to return the Letter of Credit and the unapplied proceeds thereof to JL Properties (or to Tenant if the Letter of Credit has been issued for the account of Tenant), and to execute and deliver all such documents and instruments as are requested or required by Xxxxx Fargo (or other issuing bank) in order to terminate the Letter of Credit.

4.04 Market Cap Test/Reduction of Security Deposit or Letter of Credit Amounts. If, on July 1, 2015 (the “First Reduction Date”) (i) Tenant provides Landlord with reasonable evidence that TCH then has a traded market capitalization of $50 million or more for the immediately preceding 30 days with an average daily traded volume of at least $100,000 worth of stock trades (by way of example and not by limitation, 5,000 shares traded per day at a stock price of $20.00 per share) on TCH’s stock (the “Market Cap Test”), and (ii) no Event of Default has occurred on or before the First Reduction Date, then, Tenant shall have no obligation to increase the Security Deposit to $1 million pursuant to Section 1.101(F) hereof; but in such event Tenant must maintain no less than the $750,000 remaining Security Deposit in accordance with this Lease. If, on May 1, 2018 (the “Second Reduction Date”), provided (i) Tenant has made 24 months of Rent payments for the second and third Lease Years (or such fewer monthly payments to the extent the Tenant has received a Late Delivery Credit pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof), (ii) no Event of Default has occurred on or prior to the Second Reduction Date and (iii) Tenant provides Landlord with reasonable evidence that TCH is then in compliance with the Market Cap Test, then, on or before May 15, 2018, Landlord will return the remaining Security Deposit then held by Landlord (or shall return the Letter of Credit and execute and deliver such instruments required by the issuing bank to cancel the Letter of Credit (less any prior amounts that may have been applied by Landlord to a Tenant default according to the provisions of this Article). In the event that Tenant does not satisfy the requirements set forth in this Section 4.04 for the return of the Security Deposit on the Second Reduction Date, then on May 1, 2019 (and on any subsequent May 1^st thereafter if applicable), (i) provide no Event of Default has occurred on or prior to May 1, 2019 (or any such subsequent May 1^st), and (ii) Tenant provides Landlord with reasonable evidence that TCH is then in compliance with the Market Cap Test, then Landlord shall return the Security Deposit (or Letter of Credit) (less any prior amounts that may have been applied by Landlord to a Tenant default according to the provisions of this Article) within fifteen (15) days after request by Tenant.

Payment by Tenant of any such rate increase shall not be a waiver of Tenant’s duty to comply herewith. Landlord represents to Tenant that the Permitted Use shall not increase the rate of fire and extended insurance coverage maintained by Landlord for the Building. Tenant and any Affiliate (and their respective employees) shall have access to and use of the Premises in accordance with the terms of this Lease 24 hours per day, 365 days per year, subject to the terms of this Lease. Tenant shall have the right at its sole cost and expense to contest any Applicable Laws applicable to Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises or with respect to any Alterations performed by Tenant, and to defer compliance with such provisions of Applicable Law until Tenant’s liability therefor is finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction so long as deferring compliance will not result in the imposition of fine, penalty, costs, or any other liability of Landlord whatsoever.

5.02 Compliance with Building Rules and Regulations. Rules and regulations governing the use and occupancy of the Premises, the Common Areas and all other leased space in the Building have been adopted by Landlord for the mutual benefit and protection of all the tenants in the Building (as existing and modified from time to time, the “Rules and Regulations”). Tenant shall comply with and conform to the Rules and Regulations currently in effect, which are set forth on EXHIBIT E attached hereto. Landlord shall have the right to amend the Rules and Regulations or to make new Rules and Regulations from time to time in any reasonable manner.

Landlord shall apply all such Rules and Regulations to all tenants and occupants of the Building in a non-discriminating manner, and in the event of any conflict between the Rules and Regulations and the other provisions of this Lease, such other provision shall control.

5.03 Floor Loads and Occupancy Limits. Tenant shall not overload the floors of the Premises beyond their designed weight-bearing capacity as reasonably determined by Landlord’s engineer or architect in accordance with Applicable Law. Landlord reserves the right to reasonably direct the positioning of all heavy equipment, furniture and fixtures which Tenant desires to place in the Premises so as to distribute properly the weight thereof. Landlord may require the removal of any equipment or furniture which exceeds the weight limits of the Building. Tenant agrees that it shall not exceed the occupancy limits with respect to the Premises established by the applicable fire code and other Applicable Law.

5.04 Signs. Tenant shall not inscribe, paint, affix or display any signs, advertisements or notices on, in or around the Building, or in the windows thereof, except for Tenant’s identification sign and logo adjacent to the Tenant access door(s) to the Premises and Tenant’s name (only) on the Building directory, which Landlord shall install at its expense. Tenant shall be permitted to install an exclusive (i.e., Tenant shall be the only tenant listed on such monument sign) an illuminated (provided that Tenant shall be responsible for all electricity charges) monument sign (the “Monument Sign”) in a location determined by Landlord at or near the entrance to the Building to display Tenant’s name and logo (at Tenant’s sole cost and expense), subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) Landlord shall have the right to reasonably approve design standards of Tenant’s name and logo on the Monument Sign, including the size, material, shape, color and lettering; and (ii) the Monument Sign shall comply with Applicable Law (applications for approval, if required, shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, provided that Landlord shall reasonably cooperate with Tenant in obtaining all required permits and licenses required in connection with the Monument Sign at no cost to Landlord). Landlord shall have the right to remove Tenant’s name from the Monument Sign, if, any time during the Lease Term, if Tenant (a) assigns this Lease other than to a Permitted Transferee, or (b) sublets more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises (other than to a Permitted Transferee) for the remaining portion of the Lease Term. Tenant’s name and logo shall be removed from the Monument Sign by Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost at the end of the Lease Term or earlier termination of the Lease and all damage promptly repaired at Tenant’s cost. Tenant shall maintain the Monument Sign at its sole cost and expense. The Monument Sign rights granted to Tenant under this Section 5.04 are exclusive to Tenant, and Landlord may not grant any other tenants or occupants of the Building the right to install signage on the Monument Sign, but such sign rights shall not preclude Landlord from granting sign rights to other tenants or parties on or about the Building other than the Monument Sign; provided, that in no event shall any other future monument sign erected by Landlord be larger than Tenant’s Monument Sign and/or materially impair the visibility of the Monument Sign. Tenant shall have no obligation to remove the Monument Sign, and the Monument Sign shall become the property of Landlord, at the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease. Nothing contained in this Section 5.04 shall preclude or limit Landlord providing “eyebrow” signage on the exterior of the Building to another tenant.

5.05 Access to and Inspection of the Premises. Landlord, its employees and agents and any mortgagee of the Building shall have the right to enter any part of the Premises during Regular Business Hours (as hereinafter defined) upon reasonable prior notice (except in cases of emergency) for the purpose of examining or inspecting the same, showing the same to prospective purchasers, mortgagees or tenants (Landlord’s entry to show the Premises to prospective tenants shall be limited to the last sixteen (16) months of the Term, unless at such time Tenant has exercised a then-existing option to renew the Term), and for making such repairs, alterations or improvements to the Premises or the Building as Landlord may be required to make hereunder or deem necessary or appropriate. Such right of entry shall also include, but not be limited to, access to the Premises for purposes of environmental inspections and sampling during Regular Business Hours upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior notice to Tenant, or during other hours either by agreement of the parties or in the event of any environmental emergency. If representatives of Tenant shall not be present to open and permit such entry into the Premises in an emergency, Landlord and its employees and agents may enter the Premises by means of a master key or otherwise. Landlord shall incur no liability to Tenant for such entry nor shall such entry constitute an eviction of Tenant or a termination of this Lease or entitle Tenant to any abatement of rent therefor; unless Landlord fails to use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any disruption or interference with Tenant’s business operations in the Premises during any such entry.

5.06 Quiet Enjoyment. So long as this Lease is in full force and effect and no Event of Default is then outstanding, Tenant shall at all times during the term hereof have the peaceful and quiet enjoyment, possession, occupancy and use of the Premises without any interference from Landlord or any person or persons claiming the Premises by, through or under Landlord, subject to the lien of any mortgages, underlying leases or other matters of record to which this Lease is or may become subject and subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease.

In the event that Landlord elects to terminate the Lease with respect to less than the entire Premises (the “Recapture Premises”), Landlord shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense and in accordance with Applicable Law, to separate the Recapture Premises from the remaining portion of the Premises, separate all utilities and mechanical systems from the utility and mechanical systems serving the Premises, construct common corridors on any floor on which the Recapture Premises constitutes less than a full floor, and close the Internal Stairwell opening between the fifth (5^th) and sixth (6^th) floors (if applicable) to the extent necessary to separate the Recapture Premises from the remaining portion of the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord’s right to terminate the Lease pursuant to this Section 12.01A shall not apply to a Permitted Transfer (as hereinafter defined). In the event of any such assignment or subletting, Tenant shall nevertheless at all times remain fully responsible and liable for the payment of rent and the performance and observance of all of Tenant’s other obligations under the terms, conditions and covenants of this Lease. Consent by Landlord to a transfer shall not relieve Tenant from the obligation to obtain Landlord’s consent to any further transfer. No assignment shall be binding upon Landlord unless such assignee shall deliver to Landlord an instrument (in recordable form, if requested) containing an agreement of assumption of all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease from and after the effective date of such assignment. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, if all or any part of the Premises are then sublet, Landlord, in addition to any other remedies provided by this Lease or by law, may, at its option, collect directly from the subtenant all rent becoming due to Tenant by reason of the subletting, but only for such period that the Event of Default remains outstanding. Any collection by Landlord from the subtenant shall not be construed to constitute a novation or release of Tenant from the further performance of its obligations under this Lease. In the event Landlord consents to Tenant assigning or subletting all or a portion of the Premises or any other transfer, fifty percent (50%) of any rent accruing to Tenant as the result of such subletting in excess of the rent then being paid by Tenant, and any other economic consideration received by or to be received by Tenant in connection with any subletting or assignment shall be paid to Landlord as Additional Rent after deducting all of Tenant’s reasonable expenses in connection with such subletting or assignment, including, without limitation, attorney’s fees, brokerage commissions, free rent, tenant improvement allowance, advertising costs, cost of any of tenant improvements to prepare the Premises for such sublease or assignment (“Excess Rent”), provided that in no event shall Tenant be obligated to pay Landlord Excess Rent with respect to a Permitted Transfer. In the event Landlord consents to Tenant assigning or subletting all or a portion of the Premises, both Tenant and the subtenant shall be held responsible under all of the applicable terms and conditions of this Lease including but not limited to the Rules and Regulations. Tenant shall not assign or sublet (and it shall be deemed reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent for a transfer) to (A) a governmental authority or agency, (B) an organization enjoying sovereign or diplomatic immunity, (C) a medical or dental practice, (D) a user that will attract a volume, frequency or employee to the Building which is not consistent with the standards of a first-class, Comparable Building, (E) that will impose an excessive demand on or use of the facilities or services of the Building, (F) a current tenant or subtenant of the Building, or (G) a prospective tenant to whom Landlord has offered to lease space in the Building in the preceding six (6) months unless, with respect to persons or entities described in subsections (F) or (G), Landlord does not have space available for lease in the Building that is comparable to the space Tenant desires to transfer; for a comparable term being offered by Tenant. For these purposes, Landlord shall be deemed to have comparable space if it has space which will be available within six (6) months of the date of the proposed transfer on another floor within the Building which is approximately the same size and configuration as the portion of the Premises Tenant proposes to transfer).

B. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Tenant shall have the right, without obtaining Landlord's consent, to: (a) assign this Lease or sublet all or any part of the Premises to (i) any person or entity which, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, Tenant (an “Affiliate”), (ii) a successor of Tenant or an Affiliate (by merger, reorganization, consolidation, or transfer of all or substantially all of Tenant's (or such Affiliate’s) assets, partnership or other equity interests), (iii) any operating division, group, department, or group of individuals of Tenant or an Affiliate (collectively an "Operating Unit"), which has ceased to be an Affiliate as a result of a spin-off from Tenant or otherwise (regardless of whether such assignment or sublet is to a new entity formed by such Operating Unit, or to an existing entity of which the Operating Unit becomes a part); or (b) transfer any interest in Tenant including, without limitation, a majority or controlling interest in Tenant; provided that (A) Landlord is provided written notice of the transfer and the identity of the transferee prior to the effective date of the transfer, (B) with respect to an assignment or sublease under subsections (a)(ii), (iii) or (b) of this Section 12.01B, the resulting tenant entity shall have equal or greater tangible net worth and creditworthiness as Tenant as of the date of this Lease, and (C) no Event of Default under the Lease is then outstanding. For purposes hereof, control (and variations thereof) shall mean the ownership of not less than fifty percent (50%) of the equity or other ownership interests of the entity in question or the power to direct or control the management of the entity in question. Any of the foregoing transfers are referred to herein as a "Permitted Transfer" and the persons or entities with whom such Permitted Transfers shall be made are referred to herein as “Permitted Transferee(s)”. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, a public offering of Tenant’s shares on a nationally recognized stock exchange shall not be deemed an assignment or transfer of this Lease.

C. Tenant shall also have the right to enter into desk-sharing licenses (“Desk Shares”) with entities with which it has a business relationship without the consent of Landlord under the following terms: (i) Tenant shall notify Landlord prior to all Desk Shares of each relevant entity or person; (ii) Desk Shares shall have no rights to occupy or possess the Premises other then on a project during its business association with Tenant; (iii) Landlord shall not be required to provide signage or other similar identification rights for Desk Shares, (iv) Tenant shall be fully responsible for all Desk Shares and shall ensure all occupants of the Premises complies with all applicable Rules and regulations of the Building, security, and all use restrictions under this Lease, and (v) the total Desk Shares shall never exceed 25% of the total rentable area of the Premises from time to time. All rights of Tenant’s Desk Shares shall be subject and subordinate in all respects to this Lease and to all renewals, modifications, and extensions of this Lease and Tenant shall cause the Desk Shares to comply with the obligations of Tenant under this Lease. If an Event of Default occurs under this Lease, Landlord shall have the right, at its option, to pursue its rights and remedies as set forth in this Lease, which include termination of this Lease or the right to occupy and possess the Premises, or both. Any act or omission of a Desk Share will be deemed the act or omission of Tenant for purposes of this Lease. Unless Landlord elects otherwise, if for any reason this Lease or Tenant’s rights to occupy or possess the Premises are terminated, all rights of the Desk Shares shall also be terminated and Desk Shares shall have no right, title, or interest in and to the Premises, and, accordingly, following any such termination, they shall vacate the Premises upon request of the Landlord. The indemnification from Tenant contained in Article VIII shall specifically apply to any liability resulting from acts or omissions of the Desk Shares. All Desk Shares shall provide the same insurance as Tenant is required to maintain under this Lease, including, without limitation, the waiver of subrogation, which shall be provided in each Desk Share’s insurance policy as required under this Lease.

ARTICLE XIII

SUBORDINATION

13.01 This Lease shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of any mortgage or deed of trust (collectively, a “Mortgage”) presently existing or hereafter placed upon the Building, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements, and extensions of any such Mortgages. This article shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be necessary. Tenant shall, at Landlord’s request, execute and deliver to Landlord, without cost, any commercially reasonable instrument to confirm the subordination of this Lease; and, if Tenant fails or refuses to do so within thirty (30) days after request from Landlord, Landlord may execute such instrument in the name and as the act of Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no default by Landlord under any such mortgage or deed of trust shall affect Tenant’s rights hereunder so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease. Tenant shall, in the event any proceedings are brought forth for foreclosure of any such mortgage or deed of trust, attorn to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure and recognize such purchaser as Landlord under this Lease.

13.02 Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 13.01, the subordination of this Lease to any Mortgage shall be expressly conditioned upon Tenant’s receipt from the holder of any Mortgage now or hereafter affecting the Building of a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in form and substance required by the Mortgagee and reasonably acceptable to Tenant (an “SNDA”). Any such SNDA shall provide, among other things that in the event that the holder of such Mortgage succeeds to the interest of Landlord under the Lease, Tenant’s rights of possession will not be disturbed so long as the Lease is in full force and effect. Except as set forth below, Tenant shall be responsible for any charges or fees required to be paid by the holder of any such Mortgage for changes to the SNDA requested or required by Tenant or required to be negotiated by Tenant, and Landlord agrees to reasonably cooperate with Tenant in the negotiation of such SNDA. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that, as of the date of this Lease, there are no Mortgages, ground or superior leases, security interests or other agreements encumbering the Building and/or the Land other than that certain mortgage (the “Existing Mortgage”) in favor of NXT CAPITAL FUNDING II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as successor-in-interest to NXT Capital, LLC, its successors and assigns (the “Existing Mortgagee”). Contemporaneously with the execution of this Lease, Landlord has delivered to Tenant an SNDA, in recordable form, executed by the Existing Mortgagee, in the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT I. Landlord shall be responsible for any fees or expenses charged by the Existing Mortgagee in connection with the negotiation and delivery of the SNDA.

ARTICLE XIV

ABANDONMENT

14.01 Tenant shall not Abandon (as hereinafter defined) the Premises at any time during the Term. For purposes hereof, “Abandon” means that Tenant has permanently vacated the Premises (other than in connection with a sublease or assignment), has ceased to pay Rent and is no longer performing all of its other obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have no obligation to occupy or operate its business in the Premises, and Tenant shall not be deemed to have Abandoned the Premises if Tenant temporarily or permanently vacates all or any portion the Premises but continues to pay Rent and perform its other obligations under this Lease.

ARTICLE XV

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

15.01 Defaults by Tenant. The occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall be a default and breach of this Lease by Tenant (an “Event of Default”):

A. Tenant shall fail to pay any payment of rent within five (5) days after written notice thereof from Landlord; provided that Landlord shall only be required to give two (2) such written notices to Tenant in any calendar year during the Term and thereafter, rent shall be deemed late during the remainder of such calendar year only if not paid within seven (7) days of when due.

B. Tenant shall fail to perform or observe any term, condition, covenant or obligation, other than the payment of rent, required to be performed or observed by it under this Lease for a period of thirty (30) days after notice thereof from Landlord; provided, however, that if the term, condition, covenant or obligations to be performed by Tenant is of such nature that the same cannot reasonably be performed within such thirty (30) day period, such default shall be deemed to have been cured if Tenant commences such performance within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter uses commercially reasonable efforts to diligently complete such performance.

C. A trustee or receiver shall be appointed to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets in, on or about the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease (and Tenant does not regain possession within sixty (60) days after such appointment); Tenant makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; substantially all of Tenant’s assets in, on or about the Premises or Tenant’s interest in this Lease are attached or levied upon under execution (and Tenant does not discharge the same within sixty (60) days thereafter); or, a petition in bankruptcy, insolvency, or for reorganization or arrangement is filed by or against Tenant pursuant to any federal or state statute (and, with respect to any such petition filed against it, Tenant fails to secure a stay or discharge thereof within sixty (60) days after the filing of the same).

15.02 Remedies of Landlord. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default set forth in Section 15.01, Landlord shall have the following rights and remedies, in addition to those allowed by law or equity, any one or more of which may be exercised without further notice to or demand upon Tenant:

A. Landlord may cancel and terminate this Lease and, with appropriate legal process or otherwise in accordance with Section 83.05, Florida Statutes, dispossess Tenant;

B. Landlord may without terminating or canceling this Lease declare the present value of all amounts and rents due under this Lease for the remainder of the existing Lease Term to be immediately due and payable, and thereupon all rents and other charges due hereunder to the end of the then current Lease Term, shall be accelerated. In such event Additional Rental due until the end of the then current lease term shall be calculated by adding the amount of five percent (5%) per year to the amount of Additional Rental last payable by Tenant under this Lease. An annual discount rate of five percent (5%) shall be used in calculating the present value of sums due to Landlord in the event of such acceleration. If Landlord exercises its remedy to retake possession of the Premises and collects from Tenant the full amount of the accelerated Rent as set forth above or otherwise determined by court order, Landlord shall account to Tenant, on an annual basis through the date of expiration of the Lease Term, for amounts actually collected by Landlord as a result of a reletting during the Lease Term, after deducting and net of Landlord’s reletting expenses, re-tenanting the space, including but not limited to, costs of alterations, repairs and tenant construction, real estate broker fees, legal and architectural fees and costs, and any other damages and obligations of Tenant arising from the default.

C. Landlord may, with appropriate legal process or otherwise in accordance with Section 83.05, Florida Statutes, elect to enter and repossess the Premises and relet the Premises for Tenant’s account, holding Tenant liable in damages for all expenses incurred in such reletting and for any difference between the amount of rent received from such reletting and the amount due and payable under the terms of this Lease;

D. Landlord may, with appropriate legal process or otherwise in accordance with Section 83.05, Florida Statutes, enter upon the Premises and do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of this Lease (and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for any expenses which Landlord may incur in effecting compliance with Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, and Landlord shall not be liable for any damages resulting to the Tenant from such action).

E. Landlord’s Remedies are Cumulative. All the remedies of Landlord in the instance of any Event of Tenant Default shall be cumulative and in addition, Landlord may pursue any other remedies permitted by law or in equity, forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more of the remedies upon an Event of Default, shall not constitute a waiver of such default. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event may Landlord exercise “self-help” to evict Tenant, lock-out Tenant from the Premises, or remove Tenant’s property from the Premises, or otherwise exercise its rights and remedies hereunder without appropriate legal process or otherwise acting in accordance with Applicable Law, including Section 83.05, Florida Statutes.

15.03 Default by Landlord and Remedies of Tenant. It shall be a default and breach of this Lease by Landlord if it shall fail to perform or observe any term, condition, covenant or obligation required to be performed or observed by it under this Lease for a period of thirty (30) days after notice thereof from Tenant; provided, however, that if the term, condition, covenant or obligation to be performed by Landlord is of such a nature that the same cannot reasonably be performed within such thirty-day period, such default shall be deemed to have been cured if Landlord commences such performance within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently undertakes to complete the same. Upon the occurrence of any such default, Tenant’s sole remedies shall be actual, money damages (except as set forth in Section 19.19) and specific performance, but Tenant shall not be entitled to terminate this Lease or withhold or xxxxx any rent due hereunder, except to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

If Landlord shall be in default under this Lease, and if Tenant shall, as a consequence thereof, recover a money judgment against Landlord, Tenant agrees that it shall look solely to Landlord’s right, title and interest in and to the Building (and the proceeds of sale, insurance, and rental income therefrom) for the collection of such judgment; and Tenant shall not look to any other property or assets of Landlord or Landlord’s partners, members, shareholders and joint venturers, and their respective directors, officers, managers, employees and agents (collectively, the “Landlord Parties”) in seeking either to enforce Landlord’s obligations under this Lease or to satisfy a judgment for Landlord’s failure to perform such obligations; and none of the Landlord Parties shall be personally liable for the performance of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease. It is understood that in no event shall Tenant have any right to (i) levy execution against any property of the Landlord Parties other than Landlord’s interest in the Building as hereinbefore expressly provided or (ii) collect consequential damages from Landlord. In the event of the sale or other transfer of Landlord’s right, title and interest in the Premises or the Building, Landlord shall be released from all liability and obligations hereunder accruing from and after such sale or other transfer.

15.04 Non-Waiver of Defaults. The failure or delay by either party hereto to enforce or exercise at any time any of the rights or remedies or other provisions of this Lease shall not be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor affect the validity of any part of this Lease or the right of either party thereafter to enforce each and every such right or remedy or other provision. No waiver of any default and breach of this Lease shall be held to be a waiver of any other default and breach. The receipt by Landlord of less than the full rent due shall not be construed to be other than a payment on account of rent then due, nor shall any statement on Tenant’s check or any letter accompanying Tenant’s check be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of the rent due or to pursue any other remedies provided in this Lease. No act or omission by Landlord or its employees or agents during the Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Premises, and no agreement to accept such a surrender shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Landlord.

INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

ARTICLE XVII

HAZARDOUS MATERIAL, GOVERNMENTAL, INSURANCE AND ADA REQUIREMENTS

17.01 Hazardous Material. Tenant warrants and represents to Landlord that Tenant will comply with all Applicable Laws applicable to Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises during the Term; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be obligated to make any structural or mechanical modifications to the Premises or the Building to comply with Applicable Law except to the extent such compliance results from Tenant’s specific use of the Premises (as opposed to mere office use), or from Alterations performed by Tenant. Tenant may dispute or contest the findings of governmental authorities arising from Tenant’s alleged failure to comply with Applicable Laws, including, without limitation, any Applicable Law relating to Hazardous Material, so long as such dispute or contest does not result in civil or criminal liability to Landlord or cause Landlord to incur additional costs and expenses related to the testing and remediation of Hazardous Material, or cause a breach of Landlord’s obligations under Applicable Laws.

Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Material to be brought upon, kept, or used in or about the Premises by Tenant, its agents, employees, contractors or invitees, except for such Hazardous Material as is necessary to Tenant’s business kept in accordance with Applicable Laws and small quantities of cleaning materials typically used by office tenants.

Any Hazardous Material permitted on the Premises as provided in this Article, and all containers therefore, shall be used, kept, stored, and disposed of in a manner that complies with all federal, state and local laws or regulations applicable to this Hazardous Material.

As used herein, the term “Hazardous Material” means (a) a “hazardous waste” as defined by the Resource Conservation a Recovery Act of 1976, as amended from time to time, and regulation promulgated thereunder; (b) any “hazardous substance” as defined by the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, and regulations promulgated thereunder; (c) any oil, petroleum products, and their by-products, and (d) any hazardous waste or substance regulated under any other applicable state or federal law.

Tenant hereby agrees that it shall be fully liable for all costs and expenses related to the use, storage, and disposal of Hazardous Material kept on the Premises by Tenant, and Tenant shall give notice to Landlord of any violation of the provisions of this Section 17.01. Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord and its agents, from and against any claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs, or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees, court costs, and litigation expenses) of whatever kind or nature, known or unknown, contingent or otherwise, arising out of or in any way related to (a) the presence, disposal, release, or threatened release of any such Hazardous Material in violation of Applicable Law by Tenant; (b) any personal injury (including wrongful death) or property damage (real or personal) arising out of or related to Hazardous Material in violation of Applicable Law caused by Tenant, its agents, contractors or employees; (c) any lawsuit brought or threatened or government order relating to Hazardous Material in violation of Applicable Law caused by Tenant, its agents, contractors, or employees; or (d) any violation by Tenant of Applicable Law relating to Hazardous Material. The provisions of this Article shall be in addition to any other obligations and liabilities Tenant may have to Landlord at law or equity and shall survive the transactions contemplated herein and shall survive termination of this Lease.

Landlord is given the right, but not the obligation, to reasonably inspect and monitor the Premises and Tenant’s use of the Premises in order to confirm Tenant’s compliance with the terms of this Section 17.01 if Landlord has a good faith belief that Tenant has violated its obligations under this Article XVII regarding Hazardous Material

Landlord represents and warrants that, as of the date of this Lease, Landlord has not received any notice from any governmental authority of the existence of Hazardous Material in the Building or Premises in violation of Applicable Law which remains uncorrected. Landlord shall remediate any Hazardous Materials discovered on the Premises or in the Building as of the date of this Lease which are not the responsibility of Tenant or another tenant or occupant in the Building within a reasonable time (or otherwise as required by Applicable Law) of notice of the need to remove such materials from governmental authorities and to the extent required by Applicable Law, and shall indemnify and hold Tenant and its agents, employees, affiliates and contractors harmless from any suit, damage, loss, injury or death in connection with the presence of any Hazardous Material in the Premises or Building which is not caused by Tenant, its agents, employees, affiliates, subtenants, licensees, or contractors.

17.02 Intentionally Deleted

17.03 Americans with Disabilities Act. Subject to Section 3.02, any costs for alterations, additions or improvements required to modify the Common Areas of the Building in conjunction with the Americans with Disabilities Act (the “ADA”), shall be paid by Landlord. Any alterations, additions or improvements required to modify the Premises required by the ADA as a result of Tenant’s specific use of the Premises (as opposed to mere office use) or Alterations performed by Tenant after the Commencement Date shall be Tenant’s obligation. Within ten (10) days after receipt, each party shall advise the other party in writing of any notices received by such party alleging violation of ADA in the Premises.

ARTICLE XVIII

Any notice by Landlord (which may be given by Landlord or Landlord’s attorney or management company) to Tenant must be in writing and served by overnight delivery service addressed to Tenant at the place designated in Section 1.01(I), or at such other address as Tenant may designate from time to time by written notice to Landlord. All notices sent in accordance with this Article shall be effective upon receipt or refusal of acceptance.

19.02 Estoppel Certificate. Tenant agrees, at any time, and from time to time, upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior notice by Landlord, to execute and deliver to Landlord, a statement in writing addressed to Landlord or other party designated by Landlord certifying that this Lease is in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications), stating the actual commencement and expiration dates of the Lease, stating the dates to which rent and other charges, if any, have been paid, that the Premises have been completed on or before the date of such certificate and that all conditions precedent to the Lease taking effect have been carried out, that Tenant has accepted possession, that the Lease Term has commenced, stating whether or not to Tenant’s actual knowledge, there exists any default by either party in the performance of any covenant, agreement, term, provision or condition contained in this Lease, and if so, specifying each such default of which the signer may have knowledge and the claims or offsets, if any, claimed by Tenant, and such other matters reasonably required by Landlord or any prospective purchaser, mortgagee or beneficiary of the Building; it being intended that any such statement delivered pursuant hereto may be relied upon by Landlord or a purchaser of Landlord’s interest and by any mortgagee or beneficiary or prospective mortgagee or beneficiary of any mortgage or deed of trust affecting the Premises or the Building. If Tenant does not deliver such statement to Landlord within such ten (10) day period, Landlord, and any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer, may conclusively presume and rely upon the following facts: (i) that the terms and provisions of this Lease have not been changed except as otherwise represented by Landlord; (ii) that this Lease has not been canceled or terminated except as otherwise represented by Landlord; (iii) that not more than one month’s Base Rent or other charges have been paid in advance; and (iv) that Landlord is not in default under the Lease. In such event, Tenant shall be estopped from denying the truth of such facts.

19.03 Recording of Memorandum of Lease. A memorandum of this Lease prepared by Landlord and reasonably approved by Tenant may at the option of Landlord be recorded. Tenant shall execute a commercially reasonable memorandum of lease if requested by Landlord; provided that in no event shall any of the financial terms of this Lease be disclosed in such memorandum. Tenant shall not be permitted to record this Lease or any certificate, short form, or memorandum of lease. Each party will keep the financial terms of this Lease confidential and, unless required by law, including, without limitation, applicable SEC regulations, may not disclose the terms of this Lease to anyone other than such party’s accountants, consultants, employees, officers, directors, partners, shareholders, members, attorneys, lenders, and potential purchasers, and then to the extent reasonably necessary to such party’s business. Landlord expressly acknowledges that to the extent required by law (which determination shall be in Tenant’s sole and absolute discretion), Tenant shall (i) report this Lease and any amendments and supplements thereto to the SEC, and (ii) file this Lease and any amendments or supplements thereto, with the SEC, and that in connection therewith, this Lease and all of the terms and conditions thereof, including, without limitation, the financial terms, shall be publicly available with Tenant’s SEC filings, and that such reporting and filing of this Lease and any amendments or supplements thereto by Tenant shall not violate this Section 19.03.

19.04 Real Estate Broker. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that other than Tenant’s Broker, it has not engaged any broker, finder or other person who will be entitled to any commission or fee with respect to the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Lease or any assignment, sublease or renewal thereof and shall indemnify Landlord against any loss, cost, liability or expenses legally imposed by Landlord as a result of any claim asserted by any such broker, finder or other person on the basis of any arrangements or agreements made or alleged to have been made by or on behalf of Tenant (other than Tenant’s Broker and Landlord’s Broker).

19.05 Force Majeure. In any case where either party hereto is required to do any act, delays caused by or resulting from acts of God, war, civil commotion, fire, flood or other casualty, labor difficulties, shortages of labor, materials or equipment, government regulations, unusually severe weather or other causes beyond such party’s reasonable control shall not be counted in determining the time during which work shall be completed, whether such time be designated by a fixed date, a fixed time or a “reasonable time,” and such time shall be deemed to be extended by the period of such delay. The provisions of this Section 19.05 shall not operate to excuse Tenant from the prompt payment of Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other payments required by the terms of this Lease. Events of force majeure under this Section 19.05 are deemed “force majeure events” for purposes of this Lease.

19.06 Applicable Law; Venue. This Lease and the rights and obligations of the parties arising hereunder shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida. Any legal action under this Lease shall be brought in the county where the Premises are located, and Landlord and Tenant each hereby consents to the jurisdiction of the courts located in such county.

19.07 Entire Agreement; Preliminary Negotiations. The Lease, the exhibits and addendum, if any, set forth all the covenants, promises, agreements, conditions and understandings between Landlord and Tenant concerning the Premises and there are no covenants, promises, agreements, conditions or understandings, either oral or written, between them other than as herein set forth. All prior communications, negotiations, arrangements, representations, agreements and understandings, whether oral, written or both, between the parties hereto and their representatives, are merged herein and extinguished, this Lease superseding and canceling the same. Except as herein otherwise provided, no subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Lease shall be binding upon Landlord or Tenant unless reduced to writing and executed and delivered by both parties hereto. Tenant hereby acknowledges that (a) this Lease contains no restrictive covenants or exclusives in favor of Tenant; (b) this Lease shall not be deemed or interpreted to contain, by implication or otherwise, any warranty, representation or agreement on the part of Landlord that any particular tenant shall open for business or occupy or continue to occupy any space in or adjoining the Building during the Term of this Lease or any part thereof, and Tenant hereby expressly waives all claims with respect thereto and acknowledges that Tenant is not relying on any such warranty, representation or agreement by Landlord either as a matter of inducement in entering into this Lease or as a condition of this Lease or as a covenant by Landlord; (c) Landlord and/or its real estate agent, has not made, and does not now make, any representations as to the past, present or future condition, income, expenses, operation or any other matter or thing affecting or relating to the Premises except as may be herein expressly set forth, and no such terms, agreements, covenants and conditions were made by and between the parties hereto; and (d) Tenant has satisfied itself that the property described herein is properly zoned and usable for the purpose for which Tenant is leasing same;.

19.08 Successors and Assigns. This Lease and the respective rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the parties hereto as well as the parties themselves; provided, however, that Landlord, its successors and assigns shall be liable for and obligated to perform Landlord’s covenants under this Lease only during and in respect of their successive periods of ownership during the Term.

19.09 Severability of Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Lease shall be held to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof shall not be affected or impaired, and such remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

19.10 Definition of the Relationship between the Parties. Landlord shall not, by virtue of the execution of this Lease or the leasing of the Premises to Tenant, become or be deemed a partner of or joint venturer with Tenant in the conduct of Tenant’s business on the Premises or otherwise.

19.11 Certain Words, Gender and Headings. As used in this Lease, the word “person” shall mean and include, where appropriate an individual, corporation, partnership or other entity; the plural shall be substituted for the singular and the singular for the plural, where appropriate; and words of any gender shall include any other gender. The topical headings of the several paragraphs of this Lease are inserted only as a matter of convenience and reference and do not affect, define, limit or describe the scope or intent of this Lease.

19.12 Name of Building. Landlord shall have the right to change the name of the Building during the Term or any extension thereof and shall have no obligation for any loss or damage to Tenant by reason thereof.

19.13 Common Areas. While this Lease is in full force and effect, Tenant and any Affiliate shall have the nonexclusive right during the Term and any extension or renewal thereof, in common with others, to the use of common entrances, lobbies, elevators, ramps, drives, stairs and similar access and service ways and other Common Areas in the Building designated by Landlord for the common use of all tenants, subject to the Rules and Regulations.

19.14 Parking. Tenant parking is provided, subject to applicable parking fees and rules and regulations promulgated from time to time, in the Building parking garage (“Garage”). Landlord reserves the right to reasonably control the method and manner of parking in parking spaces in the Garage. Landlord may assign specific spaces and may reserve space for visitors, small cars, handicapped individuals, and Tenant and its employees and visitors shall not park in any such assigned and/or reserved spaces. Landlord reserves the right to temporarily close all or a portion of the Garage in order to make repairs or perform maintenance upon not less than thirty (30) days’ notice to Tenant, provided that Landlord provides reasonable alternative parking within a reasonable proximity to the Building at no additional cost to Tenant. Tenant will be provided with a maximum of up to eighty (80) non-reserved parking spaces allocated as follows: one-half of Tenant’s spaces (40) for the initial 5^th Floor Premises and (40) as to the First Expansion Premises, which are currently priced as of the date of this Lease at $70.00 per space per month, plus sales tax thereon. Of the 80 parking spaces being provided, 60 are guaranteed for the entire Lease Term (i.e., Tenant shall pay for all of such space whether Tenant actually uses such spaces or not), and 20 spaces may be leased on a month-to-month basis as needed for a total of eighty (80) parking spaces. Parking charges for Tenant’s allocated 80 spaces shall be waived for the period commencing on May 1, 2015 and ending on April 30, 2017. Charges for those spaces being used by Tenant may vary according to prevailing market rates in charged by parking operators in Comparable Buildings from time to time (provided that the rates shall not be increased more than once annually), and all such charges shall be billed as additional rent under this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that the Garage is available for public parking outside Regular Business Hours. Additional spaces may be leased on a month-to-month basis as needed, if such spaces are available.

Tenant shall be entitled to use only the number of spaces so allocated from time to time. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to grant to Tenant any estate in real property nor the exclusive right to a particular parking space, but rather as a license only. Any vehicle left in the Building Parking Facility overnight is subject to tow. Landlord is not responsible to monitor or patrol reserved parking. Reserved parking does not apply after Normal Business Hours. The Building Parking Facility is open to event parking after Regular Business Hours and on weekends. Landlord reserves the right to convert portions of the Garage to valet parking provided that there is no additional cost of Tenant for such valet parking and provided that Tenant’s guaranteed parking availability remains the same

Tenant shall be entitled to addition parking spaces with respect to (i) any ROFR Space leased by Tenant in accordance with Article XXI, (ii) any Offer Space leased by Tenant in accordance with Article XXII, and (iii) as to the First Expansion Premises, upon its commencement date in accordance with Article XXIV, in the same ratio as to the original Premises (i.e., two (2) unreserved parking spaces per 1,000 rentable square feet), in the Garage at then rates for such spaces, plus sales tax. All such additional spaces shall be subject to the other terms and conditions of this Article and the Rules and Regulations.

In addition, Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that neither of them shall be bound by the representations, promises or preliminary negotiations with respect to the Premises made by their respective employees or agents. It is their intention that neither party be legally bound in any way until this Lease has been fully executed and delivered by both Tenant and Landlord.

19.17 Financial Statements. Tenant shall provide Landlord its most recently available balance sheet and profit and loss statement (collectively “Financial Statements”) of Tenant within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of Tenant’s fiscal year, which shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, and, if such is the normal practice of Tenant, shall be audited by Tenant’s independent certified public accountant, provided, however, that in no event shall Tenant be obligated to prepare audited Financial Statements to comply with the provisions of this Section 19.17, and in the event that Tenant’s most recent Financial Statements are not audited, then such Financial Statements shall be certified by Tenant’s Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer.

Anything contained in this Section 19.17 to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall have no obligation whatsoever to provide Landlord or any other person or entity with Tenant’s Financial Statements or other financial information so long as either TCH or TCC is a publically traded company and subject to applicable United States financial reporting requirements for public companies, Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, including, without limitation, Section 4.01 or this Section 19.17, in no event shall Tenant be obligated to furnish Landlord or any third party with Financial Statements or other financial information of Tenant, or disclose any financial or other information of Tenant, if prohibited by Applicable Law.

19.18 Intentionally Deleted.

19.19 Consents and Approvals. Whenever Landlord’s consent or approval is required herein or when Tenant requests any processing or documentation of any assignment, subletting, license, concession, creating of a security interest, granting of a collateral assignment, change of ownership or other transfer, such consent or approval shall not be deemed given until Landlord has provided such consent or approval in writing. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of five hundred dollars ($500.00) as an administrative fee in addition to Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees (not to exceed $2,500) incurred in connection with Tenant’s request for Landlord’s consent, approval or other action. Such administrative fee shall be paid to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice therefor from Landlord.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, and acknowledging that the consequences of said waiver are fully understood, Landlord and Tenant each hereby expressly waives the right to trial by jury in any action taken with respect to this Lease.

ARTICLE XX

OPTION TO RENEW

20.01 Option to Renew.

A. Provided no Event of Default exists and Tenant, an Affiliate or a Permitted Transferee is occupying seventy-five percent (75%) of the rentable square footage of the Premises at the time of such election, Tenant may renew this Lease for two (2) additional periods of five (5) years (each an “Extension Term”), by delivering written notice of the exercise thereof (the “Extension Notice”) to Landlord at least sixteen (16) months before the expiration of the then-current Term. All of the terms and conditions of this Lease shall remain in effect during each extension term, except that (i) the Base Year shall be the calendar year in which the Extension Term commences, and (ii) the Base Rent payable for each month during such Extension Term shall be the prevailing rental rate (the “Prevailing Rental Rate”), at the commencement of such Extension Term, for new leases of space in Comparable Buildings, with the length of the Extension Term and the credit standing of Tenant and annual escalations, concessions and improvement allowances, and all other relevant factors to be taken into account. Within 30 days after receipt of Tenant’s Extension Notice, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant written notice of Landlord’s reasonable determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate and shall advise Tenant of the required adjustment to Base Rent, if any, and the other terms and conditions offered. Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days after receipt of Landlord’s notice, notify Landlord in writing whether Tenant accepts or rejects Landlord’s determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate. If Tenant timely notifies Landlord that Tenant accepts Landlord’s determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate, then, on or before the commencement date of the Extension Term, Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease extending the Term on the same terms provided in this Lease, except as follows:

(a) Base Rent shall be adjusted to the Prevailing Rental Rate;

(b) Upon execution of the second renewal option, Tenant shall have no further renewal option unless expressly granted by Landlord in writing; and

(c) Landlord shall lease to Tenant the Premises in their then-current condition, and Landlord shall not be obligated to provide to Tenant any allowances (e.g., moving allowance, construction allowance, and the like) or other tenant inducements, unless agreed as commensurate with the Prevailing Rental Rate as finally determined; and

B. If Tenant fails to timely notify Landlord in writing that Tenant accepts or rejects Landlord’s determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate, time being of the essence with respect thereto, then Tenant shall be deemed to have rejected Landlord’s determination of the Prevailing Rental Rate. If Tenant fails to exercise the first renewal option, Tenant’s rights under this Article shall terminate and Tenant shall have no right to renew this Lease. In the event that Tenant rejects Landlord’s determination of Prevailing Rental Rate, Tenant shall provide written notice to Landlord of each objection, within ten (10) business days of Landlord’s notice to Tenant, including Tenant’s statement of what it believes the Prevailing Rental Rate should be for the Extension Term being exercised.

C. If Tenant delivers a timely rejection notice or is deemed to have rejected Landlord’s determination of Prevailing Rental Rate, then Landlord and Tenant shall, for a period of 30 days, negotiate in good faith to agree on the Prevailing Rental Rate. Upon agreement, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an amendment to the Lease extending the Lease Term on the terms and conditions of this Article. If the parties cannot agree on the Prevailing Rental Rate within such 30 day period, then Landlord and Tenant shall meet with each other within 35 days after Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s objection notice (or deemed rejection) and shall exchange in sealed envelopes their final proposal as to the Prevailing Rental Rate (collectively, the “Estimates”) and open such envelopes in each other’s presence. If Landlord and Tenant do not mutually agree upon the Prevailing Rental Rate within five business days of the exchange and opening of the envelopes, then the Prevailing Rental Rate shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with the expedited procedures of the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in force, with the following exceptions: There shall be a single arbitrator selected by the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator shall be a commercial real estate broker having at least 10 years’ experience in the office market area in which the Building is located and shall not previously have represented either party or any Affiliate thereof. The scope of the arbitrator’s inquiry and determination shall be limited to whether the Landlord’s Estimate or the Tenant’s Estimate most closely reflects the Prevailing Rental Rate and the arbitrator may not select any Prevailing Rental Rate other than the Landlord's Estimate or the Tenant's Estimate. The determination by the arbitrator shall be rendered in writing to both Landlord and Tenant and shall be final and binding on them. The parties shall share equally in the cost of the arbitrator. Any fees of any counsel or experts engaged directly by Landlord or Tenant, however, shall be borne by the party retaining the counsel or expert.

ARTICLE XXI

RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL

21.01 In the event that from time to time during the Lease Term any space on the fourth (4^th) or seventh (7^th) floors of the Building or any other floor which is contiguous to any floor of the Premises from time to time (“Offer Space”), becomes available for leasing by Landlord and Landlord receives from a prospective tenant a bona fide offer to lease any portion of the Offer Space at a rent and upon other terms acceptable to Landlord, or Landlord makes a bona fide proposal to lease the Offer Space to a prospective tenant (in either case, a “ROFR Offer”), then, if at that time the Lease is in effect and no Event of Default has occurred and is then outstanding, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice of the ROFR Offer specifying the portion of the Offer Space, the rent and other material economic terms of the ROFR Offer, and Tenant shall then have the option to lease the Offer Space on the terms set forth in the ROFR Offer, provided that Tenant exercises the option to lease the Offer Space by giving Landlord written notice within ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s notice of the ROFR Offer, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE TO TENANT’S NOTICE. These rights shall only apply as to the entire portion of the Offer Space that is the subject of the ROFR Offer, and may not be exercised as to only a portion of the Offer Space set forth in the ROFR Offer. If the ROFR offer pertains to the Offer Space and also space that is not part of the ROFR Space, if Tenant desires to exercise its rights to lease the Offer Space, it must do so as to all of the space covered by the ROFR Offer, including the additional space which is not part of the Offer Space. After the expiration of ten (10) days after Landlord gives the ROFR Offer, Tenant’s right to lease the Offer Space shall expire as to the Offer Space that was the subject of the ROFR Offer only, provided that, for the one hundred eighty (180) days following the expiration of such ten (10) day period, Landlord shall be free to lease the Offer Space set forth in the ROFR Offer to whomever Landlord wishes and on whatever terms it desires, unless within such one hundred eighty (180) day period, the net effective rent which Landlord is willing to accept from a third party is less than 95% of the net effective rent offered to Tenant as set forth in the ROFR Offer, in which event, prior to entering into a lease with a third party on such modified terms, Landlord shall be obligated to re-offer such Offer Space to Tenant on the modified terms in accordance with the terms of this Section 21.01. Should Landlord not lease the Offer Space within such one hundred eighty (180) day period, Landlord shall be obligated to once again comply with this Section 21.01 with respect to such Offer Space. The option once exercised by Tenant is irrevocable. If the option is exercised Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an amendment to this Lease reflecting the expansion of the Premises on the terms of this Section 21.01.

If Tenant elects to lease the Offer Space pursuant to this Section 21.01, the terms of this Lease, including the obligation to pay Rent, shall commence as to the Offer Space as of the date which is (A) the earlier of: (1) the commencement date set forth in the ROFR Offer; or (2) the date when Tenant shall commence the conduct of its regular business in the Offer Space, if no tenant improvements are being performed by Landlord to the Offer Space to make the Offer Space ready for Tenant’s occupancy, or (B) the earlier of the date when Tenant shall commence the conduct of its regular business in the Offer Space and the later to occur of (i) the commencement date set forth in the ROFR Offer, or (ii) the date of Substantial Completion of any tenant improvements to be performed by Landlord to the Offer Space, and in either (A) or (B), the delivery by Landlord of exclusive possession of the Offer Space in the Delivery Condition (subject to the agreed upon tenant improvements, if any). The parties shall execute a letter confirming the commencement date for the term of the Offer Space. The failure of Tenant to execute the letter shall not affect the validity of the commencement date as determined pursuant to this paragraph. The term of the lease for the Offer Space shall end on the Expiration Date of this Lease, as the same may be extended or renewed. Anything contained in the ROFR Offer or in this Article 21 to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the Offer Space leased by Tenant is a partial floor, Landlord shall, as part of tenant improvements to be performed by Landlord and at Landlord’s expense, upgrade the bathrooms, install tile floors in the elevator landing, install new lighting and new carpeting in the common areas, of such partial floor, with first-class finishes and materials substantially similar to the finishes and materials provided by Landlord’s affiliate in the upgraded common areas of the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Tower building, 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xx. Xxxxxxxxxx as of the Effective Date (the “MST Standard Improvements”)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the existing tenant under an expiring lease of any Offer Space does not have a renewal or extension right in its lease as of the Effective Date and Landlord desires to extend its lease with such existing tenant, Landlord will give Tenant an “Offer Notice” (as defined in Article 22) as to such Offer Space no less than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of such lease(s), and Tenant will then have the right to lease such Offer Space in accordance with the terms of Article 22. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that as of the Effective Date, no persons or entities, including, without limitation, any existing tenants or occupants of the Building, have any rights or options to lease space on the 4^th or 7^th floors, including, without limitation, any renewal rights, extension rights, expansion rights, rights of first offer or rights of first refusal, with respect to such floors or any portion thereof, and any such rights or options granted by Landlord subsequent to the Effective Date shall be subordinate to Tenant’s rights under this Article XXI and Article XXII hereof.

The rights granted in this Section 21.01 shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) not more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises is sublet to anyone other than to an Affiliate or a Permitted Transferee at the time Landlord would otherwise notify Tenant of the availability of the Offer Space; (ii) this Lease has not been assigned to anyone other than an Affiliate or a Permitted Transferee at the time Landlord would otherwise notify Tenant of the availability of the Offer Space; (iii) the Offer Space is intended for the exclusive use of Tenant, a Permitted Transferee or an Affiliate only, and (iv) no Event of Default is outstanding at the time Landlord would otherwise notify Tenant of the availability of the Offer Space. The rights granted to Tenant under this Section 21.01 shall be continuing throughout the Lease Term.

ARTICLE XXII
RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER

22.01 In the event that any Offer Space becomes available for leasing from time to time during the Term. Landlord shall first offer to Tenant, prior to offering such Offer Space to any third party, the right to lease the Offer Space, such offer (the “Offer Notice”) shall (a) be in writing, (b) specify the part of the Offer Space being offered to Tenant hereunder (the “Designated Offer Space”), and (c) specify the lease terms for the Designated Offer Space on such terms as Landlord may elect, including the rent to be paid for the Designated Offer Space, any rent abatements or free rent, any improvements to be performed by Landlord to the Designated Offer Space, any tenant improvement or work allowances, the date on which the Designated Offer Space shall be included in the Premises, and all other material terms of the offer. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing whether Tenant elects to lease the entire Designated Offer Space on the terms set forth in the Offer Notice within ten (10) days after Landlord delivers to Tenant the Offer Notice, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE TO TENANT’S ACCEPTANCE OF THE OFFER. If Tenant timely elects to lease the Designated Offer Space, then Landlord and Tenant shall execute an amendment to this Lease, effective as of the date the Designated Offer Space is to be included in the Premises, on the terms set forth in the Offer Notice and, to the extent not inconsistent with the Offer Notice terms, the terms of this Lease; however, Landlord shall deliver the Designated Offer Space in the Delivery Condition (subject to the agreed upon tenant improvements, if any, set forth in the Offer Notice) with any work and improvements required to be performed by Landlord in the Offer Notice Substantially Completed, but otherwise in its then “AS-IS” condition and Landlord shall not provide to Tenant any allowances (e.g., moving allowance, construction allowance, and the like) or other tenant inducements except as specifically provided in the Offer Notice. After the expiration of ten (10) days after Landlord has given the Offer Notice, this option shall expire as to the Designated Offer Space and thereafter Landlord shall be free to rent the Designated Offer Space to whomever Landlord wishes and on whatever terms it desires provided that, for the one hundred eighty (180) days following the expiration of such ten (10) day period, Landlord shall be free to rent the Designated Offer Space to whomever Landlord wishes and on whatever terms it desires, unless within such one hundred eighty (180) day period, the net effective rent which Landlord is willing to accept from a third party is less than 95% of the net effective rent offered to Tenant as set forth in the Offer Notice, in which event, prior to entering into a lease with a third party on such modified terms, Landlord shall be obligated to re-offer such Designated Offer Space to Tenant on the modified terms in accordance with the terms of this Section 22.01. Should Landlord not lease the Designated Offer Space within such one hundred eighty (180) day period, Landlord shall be obligated to once again comply with this Section 22.01 with respect to such Offer Space. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if prior to Landlord’s delivery to Tenant of the Offer Notice, Landlord has received an offer to lease all or part of the Designated Offer Space from a third party (a “Third Party Offer”) and such Third Party Offer includes space in excess of the Designated Offer Space, Tenant must exercise its rights hereunder, if at all, as to all of the space contained in the Third Party Offer. The option once exercised is irrevocable. If the option is exercised Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an amendment to this Lease reflecting the expansion of the Premises on the terms of this Section 22.01. In no event shall Landlord be obligated to pay a commission with respect to any space leased by Tenant under this Article, and Tenant and Landlord shall each indemnify the other against all costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, and other liability for commissions or other compensation claimed by any broker or agent claiming the same by, through, or under the indemnifying party. Anything contained in the ROFR Offer or in this Article 22 to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that the Offer Space leased by Tenant is a partial floor, Landlord shall, as part of tenant improvements to be performed by Landlord and at Landlord’s expense, upgrade the bathrooms, install tile floors in the elevator landing, install new lighting and new carpeting in the common areas, of such partial floor, with first-class finishes and materials substantially similar to the MST Standard Improvements.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the existing tenant under an expiring lease of any Designated Offer Space does not have a renewal or extension right in its lease as of the Effective Date and Landlord desires to extend its lease with such existing tenant, Landlord will give Tenant an Offer Notice as to such Designated Offer Space no less than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of such lease(s), and Tenant will then have the right to lease such Designated Offer Space in accordance with the terms of this Article 22.

The rights granted in this Section 22.01 shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) not more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises is sublet to anyone other than to an Affiliate or a Permitted Transferee at the time Landlord would otherwise notify Tenant of the availability of the Designated Offer Space; (ii) this Lease has not been assigned to anyone other than an Affiliate or a Permitted Transferee at the time Landlord would otherwise notify Tenant of the availability of the Designated Offer Space; (iii) the Designated Offer Space is intended for the exclusive use of Tenant, a Permitted Transferee or an Affiliate only, and (iv) no Event of Default is outstanding at the time Landlord would otherwise notify Tenant of the availability of the Designated Offer Space. The rights granted to Tenant under this Section 22.01 shall be continuing throughout the Lease Term.

If any portion of the Offer Space is not leased to a third party as of the Effective Date of this Lease, Tenant’s rights under this Article as to such vacant space shall not commence until such space is leased to a third party and then becomes available for leasing.

ARTICLE XXIII
MOVING ALLOWANCE

23.01 Provided Tenant has deposited the Security Deposit with Landlord in accordance with Section 1.01(F), Landlord shall provide Tenant with a moving allowance (the “Moving Allowance”) equal to $152,960 ($5.00 per square foot based on 30,592 square feet of the initial Premises plus the First Expansion Premises) to be reimbursed to Tenant for any costs and expenses incurred by Tenant in connection with this Lease, including, without limitation, Tenant’s moving costs, voice and data, wiring and cabling and equipment, and kitchen appliances, furniture, fixtures and equipment, purchase, testing and installation in the Premises (collectively, “Moving Allowance Items”).

Upon the First Expansion Premises Commencement Date, the rent and other terms applicable to the First Expansion Premises shall be the same as those provided in the Lease as to the original Premises (except for any free or abated rent), except that the Base Rent under the Lease shall be increased by the product of the number of square feet of the rentable area of the applicable First Expansion Premises and the then applicable per square foot Base Rent rate set forth in Section 1.01(D) in effect as of the First Expansion Premises Commencement Date, and as increased thereafter under Section 1.01(D). For example, if the applicable Base Rent rate for the Premises is $23.18 per square foot at the time of the commencement of the First Expansion Premises, then Tenant shall owe an additional sum of $29,546.77 ($23.18 per RSF multiplied by 15,296 RSF divided by 12) per month, plus sales tax, which sum shall be added to the then current Base Rent under the Lease. In addition, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share shall be increased as set forth in Section 1.101B). The parties shall enter into an amendment of this Lease prepared by Landlord and acceptable to Tenant memorializing the expansion of the Premises in accordance with this Article XXIV. The Lease Term for the First Expansion Premises shall be co-terminus with the Lease Term for the Initial Premises.

Notwithstanding anything in this Article XXIV, Landlord shall have no obligation to deliver the First Expansion Premises under this Article unless and until Tenant has deposited at least $750,000 of the Security Deposit with Landlord as required under this Lease, and TCH is in compliance with the Market Cap Test as set forth in Section 4.04.

Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that, as of the Effective Date, United Insurance Management, LLC (“United”) occupies a portion of the First Expansion Premises for a term expiring November 30, 2017 and Landlord is negotiating an early termination of United’s lease for a termination thereof effective no later than November 30, 2015 (the “United Surrender Agreement”). Additionally, Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that, as of the Effective Date, other than United, no other persons or entities, including, without limitation, any tenants or occupants of the Building, currently have renewal, expansion, ROFO, ROFR or other similar rights as to the First Expansion Premises that will prevent Landlord from timely delivering the First Expansion Premises to Tenant in accordance with this Article XXIV, and from and after the Effective Date, Landlord shall not enter into any lease or occupancy agreement, consent to any sublease or occupancy agreement, permit any person or entity to occupy the First Expansion Premises (for a term that falls within the Term of this Lease as it may be extended) other than United, and/or grant any person or entity expansion, ROFO, ROFR or similar rights to the First Expansion Premises without Tenant’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in Tenant’s sole discretion. Within five (5) business days after Landlord and United unconditionally execute and deliver the United Surrender Agreement, Landlord shall notify Tenant of same (the “United Surrender Notice”), which United Surrender Notice shall include the date that United shall vacate and surrender possession of the portion of the First Expansion Premises occupied by United. If, at the time Tenant gives Landlord Tenant’s Expansion Notice, Landlord has not previously given Tenant the United Surrender Notice, then, within five (5) business days after Tenant gives Landlord Tenant’s Expansion Notice, Landlord shall give Tenant the United Surrender Notice. If the United Surrender Notice provides that United shall not be vacating its premises in time for Landlord to deliver exclusive possession of the First Expansion Premises to Tenant in accordance with this Article XXIV (as determined by Landlord), and Landlord shall not in fact be able to deliver exclusive possession of the First Expansion Premises to Tenant in accordance with this Article XXIV within thirty (30) days after the date required for delivery of the First Expansion Premises (the “First Expansion Premises Outside Delivery Date”), then as Tenant’s sole remedy for Landlord’s failure to timely deliver the First Expansion Premises, Tenant may elect in writing (given to Landlord within ten (10) business days after the First Expansion Premises Outside Date, that either (a) the First Expansion Premises under this Article XXIV shall be automatically deemed to be the entire rentable area of 7th Floor of the Building, as shown on the floor plan attached as Exhibit K, for all purposes under this Article XXIV and the parties shall proceed under the terms of this Article using the 7th Floor as the First Expansion Premises in lieu of the 6th Floor, or (b) Tenant agrees to delay its leasing of the 6^th Floor (without penalty to Landlord) until such later time as Landlord has obtained possession of United’s premises and Landlord has delivered the 6^th floor to Tenant in accordance with this Article XXIV, in which case Tenant’s Expansion Notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date Landlord obtains possession of United’s premises, and the parties shall then proceed in accordance with the first paragraph of this Article XXIV. If the 7^th Floor is substituted for the 6^th Floor as the First Expansion Premises as referenced in the preceding sentence, then Landlord shall (i) pay for any additional space planning costs arising from the change to the 7th Floor, (ii) provide to Tenant, as consideration in lieu of constructing the Internal Stairwell an additional Construction Allowance amount of $25,000, which may be used by Tenant to 7th Floor improvements, fixtures, furnishings and equipment, IT data/cabling and the like, and (iii) upgrade the connecting fire stair entrances to the 5^th and 7^th floors with card reader access/security locks compatible with Tenant’s existing card reader access system to allow Tenant’s use of travel between such floors, subject in all events to applicable approvals and requirements of governmental authorities, fire department etc., and in such event, Landlord hereby gives Tenant and its employees the right to use the fire stairwells between the 5^th and 7^th Floors for access, ingress and egress to the Initial Premises and the First Expansion Premises. If Landlord is unable to deliver exclusive possession of the First Expansion Premises to Tenant in accordance with this Article due to the holdover of any existing tenants or occupants of the First Expansion Premises or any portion thereof, including, without limitation, United, then Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, take such actions as are reasonably necessary to gain possession of the First Expansion Premises (or applicable portions thereof), including, without limitation, commencing and diligently prosecuting an eviction or summary dispossess proceeding, and shall keep Tenant apprised of the progress thereof.

TENANT IMPROVEMENTS

1. Scope of Tenant Improvements. Landlord at its expense shall perform the work and improvements to the Premises as shown on Approved Space Plan and the Approved Plans for the Initial Premises and, if applicable, the Approved First Expansion Premises Space Plan and Approved Plans for the Expansion Premises (each as hereinafter defined) using materials and finishes set forth in the Approved Plans or otherwise using Building standard materials (the “Tenant Improvements”). Except as set forth in this Exhibit D, or otherwise set forth in the Lease as to the Delivery Condition and the correction of any latent defects in the Tenant Improvements (for which Tenant provides written notice thereof within twelve (12) months of the Delivery Date (and the First Expansion Premises Commencement Date, if applicable), subject however, to Landlord’s ongoing repair and maintenance obligations under the Lease), Landlord shall not be required to perform any work or improvements to the Premises to make the Premises suitable for Tenant’s occupancy, and upon the Delivery Date with respect to the Initial Premises, and the First Expansion Premises Commencement Date as to the First Expansion Premises, if applicable, Tenant shall be deemed to have accepted the applicable portion of the Premises in its “as-is” condition, subject nevertheless to the terms of this Exhibit and the Lease. The Tenant Improvements shall be similar in scope, design and finishes to the Kobie office space at the City Center Building with the addition of extra lighting fixtures installed on the 15^th floor at the Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Building.

2. Space Plan. Not later than five (5) business days after the Effective Date (and within five (5) days after Tenant gives or is deemed to have given Tenant’s Expansion Notice, if applicable), Tenant shall meet with representatives of Edge Architects (the “Architect”) or another design consultant selected by Landlord and reasonably acceptable to Tenant, to discuss the nature and extent of all improvements that Tenant proposes to install in the applicable portion of the Premises and, at such meeting, provide the Architect with necessary data and information needed by the Architect to prepare the initial Space Plan therefor as required by this paragraph. Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a space plan prepared by the Architect depicting improvements to be installed in the applicable portion of the Premises (the “Space Plan”) within ten (10) days following such meeting between Tenant and the Architect. Tenant shall notify Landlord whether it approves or disapproves of the submitted Space Plan within five (5) business days after Landlord’s submission thereof. If Tenant disapproves of such Space Plan, then Tenant shall notify Landlord thereof within such five (5) business day period specifying in reasonable detail the reasons for such disapproval, in which case Landlord shall, within five (5) business days after such notice, revise such Space Plan in accordance with Tenant’s objections and submit to Tenant for its review and approval. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing whether it approves or disapproves of the resubmitted Space Plan within three (3) business days after its receipt thereof. If Tenant fails to notify Landlord that it approves or disapproves of the initial or resubmitted Space Plan within such three (3) business days after the submission thereof, then Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the Space Plan in question. The Space Plan, once approved or deemed approved, is referred to herein as the “Approved Space Plan”. Any delay caused by Tenant’s withholding of its consent or delay in giving its written approval as to such Space Plan shall constitute a Tenant Delay Day (defined below). Landlord shall pay the costs and expenses of preparation of the initial “test fit” Space Plan for the Initial Premises and the First Expansion Premises (and one revision thereof each), respectively. The parties shall establish (i) the Approved Space Plan within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, and (ii) the Approved First Expansion Premises Space Plan within thirty (30) days after Tenant gives (or is deemed to have given) Tenant’s Expansion Notice. Any delay caused by either party which results in the Approved Space Plan not being established within such thirty (30) days, or the Approved First Expansion Premises Space Plan not being established within such thirty (30) days, as applicable, shall constitute a Landlord Delay or a Tenant Delay to the extent caused by Landlord or Tenant, respectively; provided, however, however, that (x) no Landlord Delay with respect to the Approved Space Plan shall be deemed to have occurred unless a delay caused by Landlord in establishing the Approved Space Plan results in the Delivery Date occurring more than one hundred fifty (150) days after the Effective Date (net of Tenant Delays), and (y) no Landlord Delay with respect to the Approved First Expansion Premises Space Plan shall be deemed to have occurred unless a delay caused by Landlord in establishing the Approved First Expansion Space Plan results in the First Expansion Premises Commencement Date not occurring within one hundred fifty (150) days after Tenant gives (or is deemed to have given) Tenant’s Expansion Notice.

The parties intend that the Approved Space Plan (and the Approved First Expansion Premises Space Plan) will be sufficiently detailed to include specific “dollar allowance" for such things as carpeting or other flooring materials, lighting, painting, cabinetry, and other items of the Tenant Improvements to the extent reasonably practicable. (For example, the Approved Space Plan will state that carpeting will have an average dollar allowance of $X per square yard as mutually agreed by the parties) to enable the general contractors bidding on the Tenant Improvements to provide a more reliable estimate. In order to work with the construction and delivery schedule established by the parties in this Lease, the Approved Space Plan (and the Approved First Expansion Premises Space Plan) will only incorporate items that are not long lead-time items that would result in delay the construction schedule.

Exhibit D – Page 1

3. Working Drawings.

(a) Preparation and Delivery. Within thirty (30) days following establishment of the Approved Space Plan (and within thirty (30) days after establishment of the Approved First Expansion Premises Space Plan) (the “Working Drawings Delivery Period”) Landlord shall cause the Architect to prepare architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, reflected ceiling and all other drawings of all improvements to be installed in the Premises based on the Approved Space Plan and the Approved First Expansion Premises Space Plan, as applicable (“Working Drawings”), and deliver the same to Tenant for its review and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(b) Approval Process. Tenant shall notify Landlord whether it approves of the submitted Working Drawings within five (5) business days after Landlord’s submission thereof. If Tenant disapproves of such Working Drawings, then Tenant shall notify Landlord thereof specifying in reasonable detail the reasons for such disapproval, in which case Landlord shall revise such Working Drawings in accordance with Tenant’s objections and submit the revised Working Drawings to Tenant for its review and approval within five (5) business days. Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing whether it approves or disapproves of the resubmitted Working Drawings within three (3) business days after its receipt thereof, and if Tenant disapproves of such resubmitted Working Drawings, then Tenant shall notify Landlord thereof specifying in reasonable detail the reasons for such disapproval, in which case Landlord shall revise such Working Drawings in accordance with Tenant’s objections and submit the revised Working Drawings to Tenant for its review and approval within three (3) business days. The process shall continue until Landlord and Tenant approve the Working Drawings. If Tenant fails to notify Landlord that it approves or disapproves of the initial or resubmitted Working Drawings within five (5) business days (and three (3) business days for revisions) after the submission thereof, then Tenant shall be deemed to have approved the Working Drawings in question. The Working Drawings, once approved by Tenant pursuant to this Section 3(b), shall be designated the “Approved Plans” for purposes of this Lease with respect to the Initial Premises and the First Expansion Premises, as applicable. Any delay caused by Landlord failing to prepare the Working Drawings for the Initial Premises or any revisions thereto within the time periods set forth in this Section 3(b) which results in the Delivery Date not occurring by the Scheduled Delivery Date (net of Tenant Delays), and any delay caused by Landlord failing to prepare the Working Drawings for the First Expansion Premises or any revisions thereto within the time periods set forth in this Section 3(b) which results in the First Expansion Premises Commencement Date not occurring by the Anticipated First Expansion Premises Commencement Date (net of Tenant Delays), shall be deemed a Landlord Delay.

4. Landlord’s Approval; Performance of Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall cause the Tenant Improvements to be performed in substantial accordance with the Approved Plans, using contractors and subcontractors selected by Landlord in accordance with this EXHIBIT D.

Exhibit D – Page 2

5. Bidding of Tenant Improvements. Upon approval of the Approved Space Plan (and upon approval of the Approved First Expansion Premises Space Plan), prior to commencing the Tenant Improvements, Landlord shall competitively bid the Tenant Improvements to no less than three (3) general contractors including ABI Construction. Tenant shall have the right to propose one general contractor which is reasonably acceptable to Landlord to bid on the Tenant Improvements. The parties have agreed that in order to expedite the construction process, the Approved Space Plan will be sent out for initial bids to the selected general contractors (the “Initial Bids”) in accordance with the bidding procedure set forth in this Section 5; provided that the Initial Bids shall not be binding on the parties or on the Contractor (as hereinafter defined) and are subject to receipt and approval of the final subcontractor bids as set forth in this Section 5. Landlord shall deliver the Initial Bids to Tenant within five (5) business days after the parties establish the Approved Space Plan (and any rebids three (3) business days following request for revisions thereof by Tenant), and within five (5) business days after the parties establish the Approved First Expansion Premises Space Plan (and any rebids within three (3) business days after request for revisions thereof by Tenant). In the event Tenant elects to revise the Approved Space Plan and/or the Approved First Expansion Premises Space Plan based on the Initial Bids to reduce the Total Construction Costs (as hereinafter defined), any delay which results in the Working Drawings not being delivered by the end of the Working Drawings Delivery Period shall constitute a Tenant Delay; provided, that the number of days of any such Tenant Delay shall be reduced by the number of days of delay, if any, caused by Landlord in not delivering the requested revisions to the Approved Space Plan or the Approved First Expansion Premises Space Plan within five (5) business days after request for revisions thereof by Tenant. Tenant shall be allowed to review the submitted Initial Bids after receipt by Landlord and all such bids shall be “leveled” to ensure discrepancies are adjusted accordingly. The Initial Bids shall be sealed and opened in a meeting attended by representatives of both Landlord and Tenant, and Landlord shall select the lowest qualified bidder, which selected Initial Bid shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Tenant. The contractor who is awarded the bid shall be deemed the “Contractor” for purposes of this Exhibit D. Within fourteen (14) days after the Approved Plans are established, Landlord shall cause the Contractor to obtain bids from not less than three (3) subcontractors in each major trade, and Tenant shall have the right to propose one subcontractor in each major trade (the “Subcontractor Bids”). The Subcontractor Bids shall be obtained and approved by the parties in the same manner and in accordance with the procedure set forth in this Section 5 for review and approval of the Initial Bids. Subject to Tenant’s prior approval, the Contractor will proceed with performance of the Tenant Improvements for preliminary shell type items, such as demolition, during the period in which the parties are obtaining the Subcontractor Bids. After the Subcontractor Bids are approved, Tenant may make additional value engineering changes to the Approved Plans, in which case, Tenant shall notify Landlord of any items in the Approved Plans that Tenant desires to change or value engineer within three (3) business days after the Subcontractor Bids are approved by Landlord and Tenant in order for Tenant to provide any value engineering proposals for the Contractor to re-price, and Tenant’s failure to so notify Landlord of any desired changes or value engineering within such three (3) business days may be deemed a Tenant Delay to the extent such failure by Tenant results in the Delivery Date not occurring by the Scheduled Delivery Date (or the First Expansion Premises Commencement Date not occurring by the Anticipated First Expansion Premises Commencement Date, as the case may be (collectively, “Final Value Engineering Changes”). Landlord will provide the rebids to Tenant within five (5) business days following Landlord’s receipt of the rebids (if any are required due to Final Value Engineering Changes) to Tenant under the foregoing provisions (if applicable), and Tenant shall then have three (3) business days to complete all of the following items: (a) finalize with Landlord’s representative and the Contractor, the pricing of any requested revisions to the bids for the Tenant Improvements; and (b) approve in writing any changes to the Approved Plans. Any delays to Landlord’s construction schedule caused by Final Value Engineering Changes required by Tenant which results in the Delivery Date not occurring by the Scheduled Delivery Date (or the First Expansion Premises Commencement Date not occurring by the Anticipated First Expansion Premises Commencement Date, as the case may be, shall be deemed a Tenant Delay, taking into account delays caused by Landlord’s failure to provide rebids within the required five (5) business day period set forth in this Section 5. Upon completion of the foregoing process, Landlord shall prepare a final budget for the Tenant Improvements based upon the selected bids (as the same may be re-priced under this Section 5) and submit same to Tenant (the “Final Budget”). The budget shall itemize the Total Construction Costs to be incurred by Landlord in connection with the Tenant Improvements. The Final Budget and Total Construction Costs may not be increased unilaterally by Landlord, without Tenant’s consent; provided, that in the event that governmental authorities require changes in the Approved Plans following awarding of the bid to the Contractor, or changes in the Approved Plans are necessitated due to conditions in the Building which Landlord or its Contractor was not reasonably aware of at the time the bid was awarded, the Final Budget may be adjusted with Tenant’s reasonable consent. The contract with Contractor (the “General Contract”) shall include a fixed percentage for general conditions and a fixed percentage for overhead and profit, and the General Contract shall be subject to Tenant’s reasonable approval.

6. Excess Costs. Except as set forth in this Exhibit D, the entire cost of performing the Tenant Improvements (including preparation of the Space Plans and Working Drawings (other than the initial “test fit” Space Plan for the Initial Premises and the First Expansion Premises (and one revision thereof each), respectively), architectural/engineering costs as to any changes requested by Tenant, and the final “as-built” plan of the Tenant Improvements, costs of construction labor and materials, cleaning, related taxes and insurance costs, licenses, permits, certifications, surveys and other approvals required by Applicable Law, all of which costs are herein collectively called the “Total Construction Costs”) in excess of the Construction Allowance (hereinafter defined) shall be paid by Tenant (the “Excess Costs”). Upon selection of the approved bids for the Contractor and subcontractors upon Landlord’s submission to Tenant of a fully executed copy of the General Contractor, Tenant shall promptly (a) execute a work order agreement prepared by Landlord based upon the Approved Plans which itemizes the Total Construction Costs, the Final Budget and the Excess Costs. Tenant shall pay to Landlord the Excess Costs for the initial Premises monthly during the performance of the Tenant Improvements within ten (10) days of receipt of contractor on a pari passu basis with Landlord based on the same percentage of the Total Construction Costs paid by Landlord for such month (i.e., if, in the first month, Landlord pays 25% of the Total Construction Costs, then Tenant shall pay 25% of the total Excess Costs that month). Tenant shall pay the Excess Costs for the First Expansion Premises in like manner. Billing for Excess Costs shall take into account (1) the amount of any advance payment made by Tenant, and (2) the amount of the Construction Allowance. In the event of default of payment of such Excess Costs following notice and the expiration of any applicable cure period, Landlord (in addition to all other remedies) shall have the same rights as for an Event of Default under this Lease. Landlord shall not be required to proceed with the Tenant Improvements unless and until Tenant has returned the work order agreement.

Exhibit D – Page 3

7. Construction Allowance. Landlord shall provide to Tenant a construction allowance not to exceed $50.00 per rentable square foot ((i.e., $764,800 based on 15,296 square feet in the initial Premises, and $764,800 based on 15,296 square feet in the First Expansion Premises) (the “Construction Allowance”) to be applied toward the Total Construction Costs, as adjusted for any changes to the Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall not allocate more than $764,800 to the initial Premises without Tenant’s express written consent. The Construction Allowance shall not be disbursed to Tenant in cash, but shall be applied by Landlord to the payment of the Total Construction Costs, if, as, and when the cost of the Tenant Improvements is actually incurred and paid by Landlord. If the total amount paid by Landlord for the Tenant Improvements is less than the Construction Allowance, Tenant shall not receive cash or any credit against Rent for the unused portion of the allowance; but Tenant may apply any unused portion of the Construction Allowance to the cost and expense of purchase, installation and testing of data and telecommunications cabling, wiring and equipment to be used in the Premises.

8. Qualifications: As part of the Tenant Improvements for the Initial Premises and the First Expansion Premises (if applicable), Landlord shall perform the following work:

(a) Landlord shall, in accordance with the Approved Plans, (not to be deducted from the Construction Allowance and not part of Total Construction Costs) renovate the bathrooms on each floor of the Premises with designs and finishes substantially similar to the MST Standard Improvements.

(b) Landlord shall, in accordance with the Approved Plans (to be deducted from the Construction Allowance and part of Total Construction Costs) (i) correct all divergent ceiling heights so that all ceilings in the Initial Premises and the First Expansion Premises (if applicable) shall be raised to the maximum height possible in accordance with the Approved Plans, (ii) install new lighting and HVAC ductwork, and (iii) relocate sprinkler lines and heads.

(c) Landlord shall, in accordance with the Approved Plans (to be deducted from the Construction Allowance or the Moving Allowance at Tenant’s election and part of Total Construction Costs) install a complete kitchen with countertops, sink, plumbing and appliances. Tenant shall select all appliances in its sole discretion.

(d) Landlord shall, in accordance with the Approved Plans (to be deducted from the Construction Allowance and part of Total Construction Costs), renovate the elevator lobby on each floor of Premises.

9. Change Orders. Tenant may request changes in the Approved Plans. Each such change must be submitted to Landlord for its prior written approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; however, (a) if such requested change would adversely affect (in the reasonable discretion of Landlord) (1) the Building’s structure or the Building’s systems (including the Building’s restrooms or mechanical rooms), (2) the exterior appearance of the Building, or (3) the appearance of the Common Areas, or (b) if any such requested change might materially delay the Commencement Date, Landlord may withhold its consent in its sole and absolute discretion. Tenant shall, upon completion of the Tenant Improvements, furnish Landlord with an accurate architectural “as-built” plan of the Tenant Improvements as constructed, which plan shall be incorporated into this Lease by this reference for all purposes. If Tenant requests any changes to the Tenant Improvements described in the Approved Plans, then Landlord shall provide an estimate of the anticipated costs for such changes together with any relevant information as to the effect of the proposed change on the construction schedule and Tenant shall have three (3) business days to approve such change in writing prior to Landlord’s obligation to commence such change. Any such increased costs and any additional design costs incurred in connection therewith as the result of any such approved change shall be added to the Total Construction Costs and paid to Landlord within ten (10) days of receipt of Landlord’s invoice as the work pertaining to such change is performed (to the extent such costs comprise Excess Costs).

10. Walk-Through; Punchlist. When the Tenant Improvements are Substantially Completed, Landlord will notify Tenant and, within five (5) business days thereafter, Landlord’s representative and Tenant’s representative shall conduct a walk-through of the Premises and identify any necessary punch list items, touch-up work, repairs and minor completion items that are necessary for final completion of the Tenant Improvements (collectively, “Punchlist Items”). Failure of Tenant to participate in such walk-through when scheduled shall be deemed Tenant’s approval of the Tenant Improvements. Neither Landlord’s representative nor Tenant’s representative shall unreasonably withhold his or her agreement on Punchlist Items. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to cause the contractor performing the Tenant Improvements to complete all Punchlist Items within 30 days after the Commencement Date; however, Landlord shall not be obligated to engage overtime labor in order to complete such items. The terms of this Section 9 shall also apply to the portion of the Tenant Improvements to the First Expansion Premises.

Exhibit D – Page 4

11. Building Standard/Conflicts. All of the Tenant Improvements to be performed by Landlord shall incorporate Building standard materials, except as otherwise set forth in the Approved Plans, provided that, Landlord shall have the right to make reasonable substitutions with notice to Tenant and Tenant’s reasonable approval to be given or denied within three (3) business days of receipt of notice. No allowance or credit shall be granted for any unused materials or any portion of the Tenant Improvements which is waived by Tenant. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall have no obligation to perform any Tenant Improvements in the Premises except for the Tenant Improvements expressly set forth in this Exhibit and in the Approved Plans.

12. Construction Management. Landlord or its Affiliate or agent shall supervise the Tenant Improvements, make disbursements required to be made to the contractor, and act as a liaison between the contractor and Tenant and coordinate the relationship between the Tenant Improvements, the Building and the Building’s Systems. There will be no construction management fee charged to Tenant in connection with the Tenant Improvements.
