Amendments
.
(a)
The second paragraph of Paragraph
11.A of the Original Lease is hereby deleted and the following
substituted therefor:
2
“If Landlord grants its
consent to any sublease or assignment, Tenant shall pay Landlord,
as Additional Rent, one hundred percent (100%) of any amounts
payable to Tenant under the Lease, as assigned, or the sublease in
excess of (i) the base rent and Operating Costs payable by
Tenant under this Lease; and (ii) any marketing costs, legal
fees and/or brokerage commissions incurred by Tenant in obtaining
the assignment or sublease. Tenant shall also pay Landlord’s
attorneys’ fees and costs for review and negotiation of any
assignment and/or sublease documents whether or not the assignment
or sublease is approved by Landlord. In addition, if Tenant has any
options to extend or renew the Term, such options shall not be
available to any subtenant or assignee, directly or indirectly. If
Tenant assigns this Lease or sublets all or a portion of the
Premises without first obtaining Landlord’s consent, as
required by this Paragraph 11.A. said assignment or sublease shall
be null and void and of no force or effect. Landlord’s
consent to an assignment, sublease or other transfer of any
interest of Tenant in this Lease or in the Premises shall not be
deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment, transfer, use
or occupation.”
(b)
Paragraph 30 of the Rider to Lease
and Paragraph 4 of the First Amendment are hereby
deleted.
5.
Additional Agreements
.
(a) Right of
Termination . Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Paragraph 5(a), Tenant shall have the right to terminate the Lease
effective as of February 29, 2012 (the “Termination
Date”) by giving written notice thereof (the
“Termination Notice”) to Landlord not later than
May 31, 2011; provided however, it shall be a condition
precedent to the exercise of such option that, within thirty (30)
days after the date of the Termination Notice, Tenant delivers to
Landlord a termination fee (the “Termination Fee”) in
the amount of $420,995.83, it being understood and agreed that
(i) to the extent Tenant has elected to take the Increased
Contribution, said $420,995.83 will be increased to incorporate the
unamortized Increased Contribution, together with interest thereon
at the rate of eight and one-half percent (8.5%) per annum, which
$420,995.83 together with the unamortized Increased Contribution
and interest thereon as provided above shall then be the
“Termination Fee”; and (ii) (A) if the
Termination Fee is not paid by 5:00 p.m. on March 30,
2012; or (B) if the Termination Fee is paid by check and said
check is stopped or does not clear, then, in either case, Tenant
shall be deemed to have waived its right to terminate the Lease and
the Lease shall continue through March 31, 2015, unless
earlier terminated by Landlord
In addition to the foregoing, the
following shall be conditions precedent to the exercise of the
termination option granted by this Paragraph: (i) Tenant shall
not be in default under any of the terms and conditions of the
Lease as of the date of either of the Termination Date or the date
of the Termination Notice; and (ii) in the Termination Notice,
Tenant shall include a representation that the reason for
termination of the Lease is Tenant’s requirement for premises
in excess of 74,000 contiguous rentable square feet in which to
conduct its business. If Tenant satisfies all of the foregoing
conditions, base rent, Operating Costs and other expenses due and
payable by Tenant under the Lease shall be paid through and
apportioned as of the Termination Date, as applicable,
and
3
neither Landlord nor Tenant shall
have any rights, estates, liabilities or obligations accruing under
the Lease after the Termination Date, except such rights and
obligations which, by the terms of the Lease, expressly survive the
expiration or termination of the Lease. The right to terminate
granted herein shall be personal to Tenant and shall not accrue to
any assignee, sublessee or successor to the interest of Tenant
under the Lease.
(b)
AS-IS . On the Second Extension Commencement Date,
Tenant shall take the Premises in their then AS-IS, WHERE-IS AND
WITH ALL FAULTS CONDITION, and any and alterations shall be made by
Tenant in accordance with the Work Letter and otherwise in
accordance with Paragraph 7 of the Original Lease.
(c)
Brokerage . The parties agree that, except for United
Properties Brokerage, LLC, as to Landlord, and Equis Corporation,
as to Tenant, neither party has been represented by any broker,
agent or other person in connection with this transaction
contemplated by this Amendment and each party agrees to defend,
indemnify and hold the other party harmless from and against any
claims by any other broker, agent or other person claiming a
commission or other form of compensation by virtue of having dealt
with either party with regard to the transaction contemplated by
this Amendment.
(d)
Renewal of Lease
. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant
two (2) consecutive five-year options to renew the Lease as to
the Premises, upon the terms and conditions of this subparagraph
(d) if:
(i)
Tenant is not in default under the
Lease, as the same may have been renewed beyond any time to cure at
the time such option is exercised; and
(ii)
Tenant gives Landlord written notice
of the exercise of the renewal of this Lease not earlier than
April 1, 2014, and not later than June 30, 2014 Second
Extension Term (the “First Renewal Notice of Exercise”)
or, if the Lease has been previously renewed, not earlier than
April 1, 2019 or June 30, 2019 months prior to the end of
the Second Extension Term as previously renewed pursuant to this
subparagraph (d) (the “Second Renewal Notice of
Exercise”; the First Renewal Notice of Exercise and the
Second Renewal Notice of Exercise may be referred to singly as a
“Renewal Notice of Exercise” or collectively as the
“Renewal Notices of Exercise”), time being of the
essence. Tenant’s failure to notify Landlord of its intent to
exercise either option to renew the Term granted herein on or
before the dates specified in this subparagraph (ii) for such
renewal shall be deemed a waiver of Tenant’s right to
exercise its option to renew; it being understood and agreed that
if Tenant fails timely to exercise said option as to the first
renewal term, its right to exercise said option as to the second
renewal term shall be deemed waived.
If Tenant elects to renew the Lease
under this subparagraph (d), the following terms and conditions
shall apply as to each renewal:
(i)
the renewal term in question shall
commence upon the expiration of the Second Extension Term or the
first renewal term described above, as the case may be, and
continue thereafter for a period of five (5) years;
4
(ii)
Base Rent for the Premises for the
extension term shall be Market Rent (as defined in subparagraph
(e) below); and
(iii)
all of the other terms and
conditions contained in this Lease, as it may have been amended
from time to time, shall be as set out in this Lease, it being
understood that there shall be no rights of renewal or extension
except as provided in this subparagraph (d), and, upon the exercise
of the rights of renewal granted by this subparagraph
(d) subject to the terms and conditions herein, this
subparagraph (d) shall be of no further force or effect and
Tenant shall have no right to further renew or extend the term of
the Lease.
Within fifteen (15) days after
request thereof from Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to
Landlord those instruments which Landlord may request to evidence
the renewal(s) described in this subparagraph (d). The rights
of Tenant under this subparagraph (d) shall not be severed
from this Lease or separately sold, assigned, or otherwise
transferred, and shall expire on the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
renewal option contemplated by this subparagraph (d) shall
automatically terminate and become null and void and of no further
force and effect upon the earlier to occur of (i) the
expiration or termination of this Lease, (ii) the termination
of the Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, or
(iii) the failure of Tenant to timely or properly exercise the
rights granted by this subparagraph (d). The right contemplated by
this subparagraph (d) shall not be available to any assignee,
sublessee, or successor to Tenant’s interests
hereunder.
(e)
Market Rent . “Market Rent” means the amount of
base rent, which may or may not include concessions, improvements
and other matters (exclusive of Operating Costs) which Landlord
would receive by then renting similar space (including similar
square footage) for premises in the project in which the Building
is located. Within twenty (20) days after Tenant exercises any
right to renew the term pursuant to subparagraph (d), Landlord
shall give Tenant notice of Market Rent for the renewal term (the
“Market Rent Notice”). If Tenant does not agree with
Landlord’s determination of Market Rent as set forth in the
Market Rent Notice, Tenant shall so notify Landlord in writing
within ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt of the
Market Rent Notice (“Tenant’s Notice”). Landlord
and Tenant shall, for ten (10) days after Landlord’s
receipt of Tenant’s Notice, negotiate in good faith to come
to an agreement as to Market Rent for the renewal term in question.
If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon Market Rent within
said ten day period, then, notwithstanding the provisions of
subparagraph (d), Tenant shall have the right to rescind the
applicable Renewal Notice of Exercise by written notice (the
“Rescission Notice”) to Landlord given not later than
twenty (20) days after the date of Tenant’s Notice, it being
understood and agreed that if the Rescission Notice is not given
within such time period, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its
right to rescind the applicable Renewal Notice of Exercise. In such
case, to the extent that the applicable Renewal Notice of Exercise
is effectively exercised, Landlord and Tenant shall execute and
deliver an amendment to this Lease which amendment shall be
executed and delivered within ten (10) days following the
determination of the Market Rent. Tenant’s failure to give
Tenant’s Notice within the time period provided above shall
be deemed an acceptance of Landlord’s determination of Market
Rent, and the Term
5
shall be deemed renewed pursuant to
the applicable Renewal Notice of Exercise and the Market Rent
Notice.
6.
Reference to and Effect on the
Lease .
(a)
Upon the effectiveness of this
Amendment, each reference in the Lease to “this Lease”,
“hereunder”, “hereof”, “herein”
or words of like import referring to the Lease shall mean and be a
reference to the Lease as amended hereby.
(b)
Except as specifically set forth
above, the Lease remains in full force and effect and is hereby
ratified and confirmed.
(c)
Wherever there exists a conflict
between this Amendment and the Lease, the provisions of this
Amendment shall control.

by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Minnesota.
