 - Leased property 

The Lessor is the owner of the property Karl-Arnold-Platz 1a in 40474 Düsseldorf. 

On this property there is an office and administrative building that is known to the Tenant. 

The Lessor leases to the Tenant in said building the following spaces, namely spaces in the 3rd and 4th floors (in the north wing and south
wing respectively) covering roughly 5,855.84 m2 of leased space, as shown in a coloured outline in annex III and as viewed by the Tenant (the leased space shown also includes a proportion of the
communal spaces, such as the entrance area, corridors and stairwells, at a rate of roughly 5.74%) 
 and 

underground parking spaces for 25 cars and outdoor parking spaces for 4 cars, as indicated in annex III a and III b. The Lessor reserves the
right to allocate the Tenant other parking spaces at a later point in time and to document this in an addendum with the Tenant 
 and 

roughly 60.37 m2 storage space in the 2nd underground floor, as shown in annex III c. 

The leased spaces under the terms of this agreement with effect between the parties are determined on the basis of the gif (Society of Property
Researchers, Germany) guidelines for calculating the leased space for commercial premises (status date 1 Nov. 2004). Protruding areas of non-load-bearing walls were ignored. The lease includes a proportional share of the communal areas in the
building. Under the terms of this regulation, communal areas are the entrance areas, staircases, areas in front of lifts and the connection paths within the freely accessible areas of the leased property that are used by all tenants jointly. 

 

	1.4	The Lessor undertakes to inform the Tenant of the leasing of office spaces that become vacant or empty office spaces to third parties before such leasing begins and grants the Tenant the repeated right to rent these
vacated or empty spaces at the conditions agreed upon between the parties in this lease agreement. The Lessor will notify the Tenant of the exercising of this right without delay following awareness of the impending leasing and allow the Tenant 10
working days to respond. 

  

	1.5	The outer facade and the roof of the property are not included in the lease. Displaying advertising material and/or information signs on the outer facade or in communal areas, and setting up vending machines, display
cases, antennae or the like requires written permission from the Lessor. Costs relating to the fixing, operation, maintenance and repair of the advertising material/information signs and the like are borne by the Tenant. 


 

	1.6	The Tenant shall obtain all the regulatory permits and concessions relating to its business at its own expense, insofar as these costs relate to the person of the Tenant and this person’s company. All building and
usage rights relating to the agreed use, in particular fire protection requirements for the leased property, must be provided and maintained by the Lessor. 








 Any facilities and safety precautions that are to be installed in the leased property as required
by the authorities extending beyond the condition described in section 3.1. must be installed by the Tenant at the Tenant’s own expense. The building and usage rights conditions necessary for the operation of an office must be provided by the
Lessor. 
 – Use of the Leased Property, Protection from Competition 

The leased property is leased exclusively to be used as an office space by the Tenant. Any change to this purpose of use is only permitted with
prior written agreement from the Lessor. 
 The Lessor does not grant the Tenant any protection from other tenants with a competing product
range. 
 3 – Hand-Over of the Leased Property /Condition of the Leased Property 

1 The leased space in the fourth floor will be handed over by 28 Feb. 2015 at the latest. The leased space in the third floor will be handed
over by 31 Mar. 2015 at the latest. The leased property is handed over in accordance with the construction specification in annex IV. The floor plans in annex III specify in definite form the services described in the construction specification in
annex IV. Services depicted in the floor plans in annex III but not described in the construction specification in annex IV do not represent contractual specifications for the Lessor. In the event of the construction specification differing from the
description given in the floor plans, the floor plans take precedence. 
 The leased property is suitable for the intended purpose of use. It
is the Tenant’s own responsibility to check whether the leased property meets the Tenant’s specific requirements regarding safety, burglary protection for the workplace and the like. Any resulting and required construction measures are
borne by the Tenant. 
 Furthermore, the indoor temperatures are to some extent affected by the amount of lighting installations or
heat-dissipating technical facilities installed by the Tenant, which could impair the indoor temperatures. 
 Moreover, the leased spaces may
be impaired by noise emissions from the immediate neighbourhood, which could lead to the permitted limit vales being slightly exceeded during peak noise levels. These emissions cannot be averted and must be accepted by the Tenant. The Tenant’s
rights in the case of continuous noise exposure remain unaffected. 
  

	3.2	It is the responsibility of the Tenant to develop the leased property beyond the above such that the leased property corresponds to the contractual purpose of use. The required approval in accordance with section 13.1
must be obtained before the conversion work is started. 

  

	3.3	The Tenant may reject hand-over of the leased property if defects and complaints are present that restrict contractual use of the leased property to a more than immaterial extent. Minor residual work, such as subsequent
installation of skirting boards, attachment of doors and residual painting work, that is not necessary for usage per se does not prevent hand-over; such work may be performed subsequently following hand-over. 


 

	3.4	A hand-over protocol is compiled for the hand-over and signed by both parties; any defects or residual work is recorded in the hand-over protocol. The Tenant cannot derive any rights from the presence of any defects
that do no considerably impair the suitability of the leased property for the contractual purpose, in particular no reduction in rent. 








 The Tenant must pay the lease security deposit agreed upon in section 16 before, or at the latest
during, the hand-over. The leased space will not be handed over until the lease security deposit has been received in the agreed form. This also applies to subsequent expansions of the leased space. 

 

	4.	Leasing Period, Termination 

  

	4.1	The tenancy begins at the latest with the hand-over of the leased property. 

  

	4.2	The tenancy has a fixed term and ends on 31 Dec. 2019. 

  

	4.3	Before the tenancy comes to an end, the Tenant may demand that the tenancy be extended once by three years. This declaration must be made to the Lessor in writing no later than 13 months before the leasing period is due
to end. 

  

	4.4	Following this, the tenancy is extended to an indefinite period unless it is terminated by one of the contracting parties with a notice period of nine months before the leasing period is due to end. Termination is
initially only permitted with effect at the end of the fixed contract period. If the lease agreement has been extended to an indefinite period, it can be terminated with effect at the end of a calendar month, subject to nine months’ notice.


  

	4.5	Both parties have the right to extraordinary termination without notice on the basis of legal provisions. Moreover, however, the Lessor may terminate the tenancy without notice on compelling grounds if:


  

	 	a)	the Tenant is in default with two month’s rent or in default with the deposit payment; 

  

	 	b)	the Tenant uses the leased property or parts thereof for purposes other than those specified in the contract without the agreement of the Lessor, in particular allowing third parties to use the leased property or
subletting it to third parties; 

  

	 	c)	the Tenant fails to comply with the contractual conditions despite two written warnings in respect of the same matter. 


If the tenancy is ended by termination without notice on the part of the Lessor, the Tenant is liable to the Lessor for the loss of rent
including all operating costs and other ancillary costs until the property is re-leased at conditions no worse than those in the present lease agreement or until the lease agreement expires, whichever is sooner. Any receivables owed by the Tenant to
the Lessor only become due for payment after this point in time. 
 The Lessor reserves the right to assert additional claims. 

 

	4.6	Terminations must be made in writing. 








 5 - Rent, Ancillary Costs 
  

	5.1	The basic monthly rent for the leased space and the portion of the communal areas from 1 Mar. 2015 is 

  

					
	 roughly 2,927.92 m2 office space @
€13.90 /m2
	  	€	40,698.09	  
	 roughly 60.37 m2 storage space @ €7.00
/m2
	  	€	422.57	  
	 plus applicable VAT, currently 19%
	  	€	7,812.93	  
		  	  
	  
	 
	 Total
	  	€	48,933.59	  

 The basic monthly rent for the leased space and the portion of the communal areas from 1 Apr. 2015 is 

 

					
	 roughly 5,855.84 m2 office space @
€13.90 /m2
	  	€	81,396.18	  
	 roughly 60.37 m2 storage space @ €7.00
/m2 
	  	€	422.57	  
	 plus applicable VAT, currently 19%
	  	€	15,545.56	  
		  	  
	  
	 
	 Total
	  	€	97,364.31	  

 The basic monthly rent for the underground parking spaces is, from hand-over Outdoor parking spaces for 4 cars
@ 
  

					
	 €60.00
	  	€	240.00	  
	 Underground parking spaces for 25 cars @ €100.00
	  	€	2,500.00	  
	 plus applicable VAT, currently 19%
	  	€	510.39	  
		  	  
	  
	 
	 Total
	  	€	3,250.39	  

 If it should be discovered within 12 months following the start of the tenancy that the leased space specified
in section 1.3 differs from the actual space by more than +/-3%, the rent must be adjusted accordingly. The parties to the lease agreement undertake to conclude an addendum confirming the size of the leased space that has been mutually agreed upon.
After conclusion, no further adjustment can be demanded. 
 The Lessor uses vis-à-vis the Tenant for the purpose of invoicing in
accordance with section 14(4) German VAT Act (UStG) the Tenant’s tax number 144/235/701 73. VAT is applicable at the statutory level as specified in section 12(1) German VAT Act (UStG). 

 

	5.2	The Lessor opts for VAT. The Tenant therefore ensures that no transactions will be carried out in the leased property that would jeopardise the Lessor’s right to deduct input tax. The Tenant verifies this annually
with a confirmation from the Tenant’s tax consultant. This also applies in the case of a permitted subleasing of the leased property. In this case, the Tenant undertakes to conclude identical agreements with the subtenant. If the Tenant
nevertheless does carry out such transactions, the Tenant must inform the Lessor of this. Insofar as this causes the Lessor to lose the right to deduct input tax, the Lessor may demand compensation equal to the amount of lost input tax deduction and
to charge, in addition to the rent, a rent surcharge equal to 7.5% of the interest-bearing amount of the lost input tax deduction. The right to claim more extensive damages remains unaffected. 


Additionally, the Tenant must provide the Lessor with corresponding documents free of charge and provide information to allow the lost
input tax deduction to be calculated and a tax assessment to be performed. 
  

	5.3	In addition to the basic rent, the Tenant bears the operating costs incurred directly for the leased property (e.g. electricity, gas, water) and a proportion of all verified operating and ancillary costs of the
building. 

 Operating and ancillary costs are all the costs listed in annex I of this agreement and all cost categories, taxes
and fees that arise after this agreement has been concluded. These costs that arise subsequently may be allocated to the Tenant insofar as these costs have an economic connection with the operation or maintenance of the leased property; they are,
however, restricted to 10% of the contractually agreed ancillary costs in accordance with annex I. 







 The Lessor points out that the costs listed in annex I extend beyond the cost categories of the
German Operating Costs Ordinance (BetrKV). 
 The Lessor allocates the operating and ancillary costs to the Tenant. The Tenant pays towards
these operating and ancillary costs that are to be allocated monthly prepayments of €3.10 per m2 leased space from the first day of the tenancy in accordance with section 4.1 until the first
operating and ancillary cost report has been received. After the first annual report concerning operating and ancillary costs has been received, the monthly operating and ancillary costs prepayment is 1/12 the amount of the previous annual report.
The provision set out in item 5.5 remains unaffected. 
 Any differences between the final report amount and the total of prepayments made is
paid by the Tenant or reimbursed by the Lessor within four weeks following receipt of the report. The Lessor will allow the Tenant to arrange an appointment to view the report documents at the premises of the Lessor’s administrator within said
four-week period. If the Tenant does not object to the report in writing within this four-week period following receipt of the report, the report is deemed accepted insofar as the Lessor has pointed out this legal consequence in the report. 

Insofar as legally and technically possible, the Tenant will reach an agreement with the Lessor as to which operating and ancillary costs for
fundamental services are to be obtained directly from the particular service providers and to be settled with them directly. Insofar as the Lessor has to pay for such costs itself, the costs will be allocated from the Lessor to the Tenant. The
prepayment of the operating and ancillary costs is reduced in accordance with the payments to be made by the Tenant directly to the service providers. 
  

	5.4	The operating and ancillary costs report is issued once a year. The reporting period is the calendar year. If the tenancy ends during a reporting period, the operating and ancillary costs report is not issued as an
interim version, but rather compiled in connection with the general operating and ancillary costs report. 

 The monthly
prepayments for the operating and ancillary costs from 1 Mar. 2015 are as follows: 
  

					
	 2,988.29 m2 x €3.10/m2
	  	€	9,263.70	  
	 plus applicable VAT, currently 19%
	  	€	1,760.10	  
		  	  
	  
	 
	 Total:
	  	€	11,023.80	  

 The monthly prepayments for the operating and ancillary costs from 1 Apr. 2015 are as follows: 

 

					
	 5,916.21 m2 x €3.10/m2 
	  	€	18,340.25	  
	 plus applicable VAT currently 19%
	  	€	3,484.65	  
		  	  
	  
	 
	 Total:
	  	€	21,824.90	  

  

	5.5	If the operating and ancillary costs increase within a reporting period, the Lessor may demand a corresponding increase in the prepayments. The same applies insofar as newly introduced public charges are incurred by the
Lessor. 








 The operating and ancillary costs prepayments are then increased by the new amount. The
applicable statutory VAT is shown separately in the report. 
 6 - Graduated Rent Agreement 

For each additional year of the lease, the basic monthly rent increases, plus the applicable statutory VAT, for office and storage space by 1.0% each year.
Accordingly, the basic monthly rent for the leased space is: 
  

													
	 in the 2nd year of the lease, from 1 Apr. 2016 to 31 Mar. 2017, increased by
€818.19 to
	  	 	€82,636.94	  
	 in the 3rd year of the lease, from 1 Apr. 2017 to 31 Mar. 2018, increased by
€826.37 to
	  	 	€83,463.31	  
	 in the 4th year of the lease, from 1 Apr. 2018 to 31 Mar. 2019, increased by €
834.64 to
	  	 	€84,297.95	  
	 in the 5th year of the lease, from 1 Apr. 2019 to 31 Dec. 2019, increased by
€842.98 to
	  	 	€85,140.93	  

 At the agreed times, the agreed increase becomes effective automatically without any declaration of the increase required on
the part of the Lessor. 
 7 - Payment of the Rent 
  

	7.1	The obligation to pay the rent begins with the start of the tenancy: on 1 Mar. 2015 or 1 Apr. 2015. 


By way of derogation, the Lessor has granted the Tenant a rent-free period of seven months, distributed across the duration of the lease. The
parties agree in this regard that the Tenant will pay no rent for the month of April in each year from 2015 to 2019. Furthermore, the months of May 2015 and June 2015 are also rent-free. The rent-free period does not apply to the operating and
ancillary costs; they are to be paid regardless. If the time of the start of the lease is postponed, the rent-free period is postponed correspondingly. 
  

	7.2	The rent and the operating and ancillary cost prepayments must be transferred in advance to the following accounts, free of charge, on the third working day of the month: 


 

					
	 Rent:
	  	 Bayerische Landesbank

	 BIC
	  	 BYLADEMMXXX

	 IBAN
	  	 DE 4370 0500 0002 0129 8108

		
	 Ancillary costs:
	  	 Bayerische Landesbank

	 BIC
	  	 BYLADEMMXXX

	 IBAN
	  	DE 4370 0500 0003 0129 8108


 The date that the money is received via said account is deemed the effective date. 

 

	7.3	In the event of a delayed payment, the Lessor may charge default interest from the due date to the date of receipt at a rate of 8% above the basic interest p.a. 


 

	7.4	Payments are initially to be offset against claims for which expiry by limitation is imminent, and then against costs, interest and other debts. 








 8 - Permitting Use by Third Parties 

 

	8.1	Any instance of permitting a third party to use the leased property, whether full or partial, in particular subleasing of the leased property, requires prior written approval from the Lessor. The approval can only be
denied on compelling grounds. 

  

	8.2	The Lessor may revoke approval for permitting use by third parties on compelling grounds at any time. 

  

	8.3	The Tenant transfers to the accepting Lessor, as a precaution, the Tenant’s current and future claims that the Tenant is entitled to against third parties arising from permitting use of the leased property, in
particular those arising from subleasing. This sum is limited in its amount to the sum of claims due to the Lessor against the Tenant. The Lessor is hereby authorised by the Tenant, in the event of payment arrears of more than 14 days, to inform the
third party of the assignment and to collect the claims of the Tenant against the third party, in place of and on behalf of the Tenant. Until a claim arises, the Tenant reserves the right to collect the assigned claim. 


9 - Maintenance/Repair/Decorative Repairs/Liability 
  

	9.1	The Tenant must treat the leased properties, their equipment, the property, including all communal facilities and outdoor areas, with due care and consideration. 


 

	9.2	The Tenant is liable to pay compensation for all damage and expenses incurred by the Lessor culpably caused by the Tenant. In particular, the Tenant is liable for damage caused by culpable misuse of water, gas,
electrical light and the heating system. 

 This liability to pay compensation applies regardless of whether the damage was
caused by the Tenant or persons belonging to the Tenant’s business or third parties coming into contact with the leased property at the instigation of the Tenant, in particular subtenants, visitors, delivery persons and tradespeople. It is the
Tenant’s responsibility to provide proof that damage that occurred within the leased spaces was not the fault of the Tenant or any of the above-mentioned persons. 
  

	9.3	It is the Lessor’s responsibility – subject to the provision in section 9.4 – to perform maintenance and repair of the roof, the structural building parts and outer walls, load-bearing inner walls,
supports and foundations, with the exception of windows and doors that surround the leased property and with the exception of glazing and fittings belonging to them. 


The Tenant must professionally perform the ongoing maintenance (including any required scheduled maintenance) and repair of technical
installations and facilities installed by the Tenant, both inside and outside the Tenant’s leased spaces, at the Tenant’s own expense. This includes in particular air-flow-related systems (e.g. ventilation, air-conditioning), sanitary
facilities, electrical systems, taps, sunscreens and antenna systems. The Lessor may demand proof that the work has been performed and in the event of delay have this work performed at the Tenant’s expense. 

For the technical installations and facilities already present in the leased space at the time of hand-over, the ongoing maintenance (including
any required scheduled maintenance) and repair is performed by the Lessor and correspondingly allocated to the Tenant via the allocation of operating costs. 







 Maintenance as referred to in this section is understood by the parties as all scheduled
maintenance work that becomes necessary including the exchange of smaller consumable parts and lubricants. Repair is understood by the parties as all repair work that becomes necessary. 

 

	9.4	The Lessor will perform required maintenance and repair work relating to the communal areas, communal installations and facilities at the expense of the ancillary costs and charge them to the Tenant in accordance with
section 5.3 insofar as such work is not to be performed by the Tenant at the Tenant’s expense in accordance with section 9.3 or as specified in the following subsections. Insofar as this maintenance and repair work involves generally accessible
areas inside the building, the allocation of these costs is restricted to a maximum of €30,000 in accordance with section 5.3. The costs for measures pursuant to section 9.3(1) are not allocated to the Tenant. Any costs for the measures that
the Lessor is currently performing for the maintenance and repair of the building are not allocated to the Tenant. 

  

	9.5	The Tenant must, at the Tenant’s expense – insofar as required in accordance with the degree of wear – perform the following decorative repairs, in particular painting or wallpapering the walls and
ceiling, cleaning the floor covering or replacing damaged carpets and internal glazing that belongs to the leased property, painting the radiators including the heating pies, the inside doors and the windows and outside doors from inside, in the
leased spaces. The required work must be performed professionally by the end of the leasing period at the latest. 

  

	9.6	If the Tenant fails to fulfil the obligations pursuant to points 1–5 within one month despite written request, the Lessor can arrange for the required work to be performed at the Tenant’s expense without
setting a grace period. A written warning and notice period are not required in cases of imminent danger or where the Tenant’s current residence is unknown. 

  


	9.7	The Lessor must be notified of damage and defects to the leased property in writing without delay. If the Tenant fails to provide such notification, the Tenant is obliged to pay compensation for the resulting damage. It
is the Tenant’s responsibility to prove that notification was provided in due time. 

  

	9.8	Insofar as the Lessor is entitled to guarantee claims with regard to the rectification of a defect, the Lessor transfers these claims to the accepting Tenant for enforcement. 


10 - Insurance 
  

	10.1	The Lessor has concluded the required building insurance policies (third-party liability, fire, storm, tap water, extended coverage). The resulting costs are allocated to the Tenant in connection with the operating and
ancillary costs report. Any installations, extension or conversion of the leased property performed by the Tenant are not covered by the building insurance. The Tenant must insure these installations, extensions or conversions at the Tenant’s
expense. 

  

	10.2	The Tenant must conclude adequate employer’s liability insurance at the Tenant’s own expense and maintain it for the duration of the lease. Furthermore, it is the Tenant’s responsibility to be adequately
insured against all damage to the installed facilities and other items (the Tenant is recommended to conclude key-loss insurance). 









	10.3	The Lessor may inspect the insurance contracts to ascertain that such insurance policies have been concluded correctly and that they are being maintained. 


11 - Property Surveillance and Safety Facilities 
  

	11.1	If surveillance measures are deemed necessary for the property – regularly or in special cases – the property management representing the Lessor will issue a corresponding commission. The Tenant undertakes to
bear a proportion of the costs in connection with the operating and ancillary costs report, insofar as the Tenant benefits from the surveillance measures. 


The Tenant may commission surveillance measures with written agreement from the Lessor. In such a case, the Tenant must bear the costs. 

 

	11.2	The Tenant may install safety facilities after prior written agreement from the Lessor. The Tenant must bear the costs for the installation, maintenance and repair of the safety facilities. 


12 - Leased Property Defects/Reduction/Offset/Right of Retention 
  

	12.1	The Tenant’s right to assert claims for damages arising from a defect in the leased property is excluded insofar as the Lessor is not culpable for the damage as the result of wilful misconduct or gross negligence.
The Lessor’s liability for an initial defect in accordance with section 536a German Civil Code (BGB) is excluded. 

 The
Tenant’s right to have the defect remedied remains unaffected. 
  

	12.2	The Tenant may only exercise a right to reduction, offset and retention if the Tenant notifies the Lessor of this in writing at least one month before the due date. 


 

	12.3	An offset and right of retention on the part of the Tenant is only permitted if the claim is undisputed, recognised by declaratory judgment and ready for a decision. The Tenant may reduce the rent as the result of a not
immaterial leased property defect via deduction from the contractually agreed rent only insofar as the Lessor is culpable for this situation as the result of wilful misconduct or gross negligence or has agreed to the reduction. 


 

	12.4	The Tenant’s right to retention vis-à-vis claims of the Lessor for rent and/or operating and ancillary costs is excluded where it is not based upon this contractual relationship. 


 

	12.5	The Lessor’s guarantee is restricted to the Lessor’s cardinal obligations. Moreover, the Lessor’s liability with regard to the breach of other obligations, unlawful acts and positive breaches of contract
is restricted to gross negligence and wilful misconduct. 

 The possibility of claim for return based on the principles of
unjust enrichment, sections 812 et seq. German Civil Code (BGB), remains unaffected insofar as it relates to leased property defects. 







 Compensation for indirect damage (lost profit) is always excluded insofar as it relates to
non-foreseeable damage or financial loss and insofar as such damage does not jeopardise the fulfilment of the contractual purpose in the long term. 
  

	12.6	None of the liability restrictions given in this section 12 apply if they involve claims arising from loss of life, physical injury or impairment of health or from gross negligence or wilful misconduct.


 13 - Changes to and in the Leased Property Made by the Tenant 

 

	13.1	More than insignificant changes to and in the leased property, in particular major conversions and fixtures, installations, etc., must be agreed upon with the Lessor in advance, recorded in writing as major changes and
only performed with prior written agreement from the Lessor. The Lessor may only deny agreement if the changes are more than insignificant. The Tenant must bear all costs connected with the changes and all consequential costs, including the approval
costs. 

  

	13.2	Gas, electrical and other appliances must be connected to the existing supply network only to such an extent that the impact planned for the leased property is not exceeded. Further appliances may only be connected with
prior written agreement from the Lessor. Agreement may be refused if the existing supply network would not withstand additional load and the Tenant refuses to bear the costs for a corresponding change to the network. 


 

	13.3	The Tenant undertakes to provide the Lessor with documentation on the cabling equipment. 

 14 - Accessing
the Leased Property 
 The Tenant must ensure during conventional business hours that the Lessor, representatives, official experts and interested
parties can view the leased property for the purposes of checking the condition of the leased property, performing repairs, re-leasing, etc. – after prior notification. In cases of imminent danger access must be made possible at any time of the
day or night. 
 15 - Closing Devices 
  

	15.1	The Lessor may control access to the leased property by means of code and key cards with access authorisation. In such a case, the Tenant is recommended to conclude corresponding insurance against loss.


  

	15.2	The Tenant is not permitted to install or exchange the Tenant’s own locks without agreement from the Lessor, with the exception of locks within the leased unit. In any case it must be ensured that representatives
of the Lessor can access the leased property in cases of imminent danger at all times. 

  

	15.3	If the Tenant loses a key or a code card, the Tenant must notify the Lessor of such loss without delay. In any case, the Tenant must bear any costs thus incurred by the Lessor, regardless of whether this damage is
insurable. 








 16 - Provision of Security Deposit 

The Tenant undertakes to provide the Lessor a deposit equal to three months’ rent plus operating and ancillary costs plus the statutory VAT as security.
This may also take the form of an unconditional, irrevocable, unlimited, directly enforceable surety from a major bank, savings bank or insurance company recognised in the Federal Republic of Germany as a domestic customs and tax guarantor, where
this guarantee corresponds to the template given in annex II in all material respects. In this case, the surety is deemed equal to a cash deposit on the basis of its offset possibilities. 

If the Lessor draws on the deposit, the Tenant must return the deposit sum to its original level without delay. 

In place of the surety described, the Tenant may also provide an equivalent security deposit in the form of a rental deposit passbook savings account. 

In the case of expansions to the leased space, index adjustments or graduated rent increase during the tenancy, the Lessor may demand a corresponding increase
in the security deposit, insofar as the rent increase exceeds 10%. 
 In the event of a change in the person of the Lessor, the Tenant undertakes to agree
to an assumption of debt with full discharge of original debtor to relieve the Lessor from obligations arising from return of the security deposit. 
 17
- End of Tenancy 
  

	17.1	When the tenancy ends, the Tenant must 

  

	 	a)	hand over all keys to the leased property to the Lessor 

  

	 	b)	return the leased property renovated in accordance with section 9.5, insofar as the degree of wear is not below the usual degree of wear given the term of the lease agreement. Proportional compensation for the wear that
has occurred is possible. 

  

	17.2	Immaterial changes to the leased property under the terms of 13.1, installations and conversions and any changes to the design and/or the equipment of the leased property performed or arranged by the Tenant need not be
removed by the Tenant before the Tenant moves out and must not be returned to their original state, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing. 


The Lessor may prevent the right to removal from being exercised by paying an appropriate compensation. The Tenant’s right to compensation
covers the fair value of the facilities. The Lessor’s right to prevention does not apply if the Tenant has a legitimate interest in the removal. 
  

	17.3	A tacit extension of the lease in accordance with section 545 German Civil Code (BGB) is excluded. 

 18 -
Other Arrangements 
  

	18.1	The Tenant may not assign rights arising from this agreement to third parties without agreement from the Lessor. The Lessor’s liability in the same way as a surety pursuant to section 566(2) German Civil Code (BGB)
is excluded. The Lessor may at any time transfer rights and obligations arising from this lease agreement to third parties. 









	18.2	This lease agreement is valid regardless of any required regulatory approval of the commercial activity. 

  

	18.3	Should individual provisions of this agreement be ineffective, this shall not affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions. In the event of an individual provision being invalid, the parties arrange a provision
to take its place that comes closest to the intent of the original with retroactive effect. 

  

	18.4	-    Annex I (list of operating and ancillary costs), 


-    Annex II (bank surety template) 

-    Annex III (floor plan of the office space) 

-    Annex III a (floor plan with underground parking spaces for cars shown with coloured outline) 

-    Annex III b (floor plan with outdoor parking spaces for cars shown with coloured outline) 

-    Annex III c (floor plan with storage spaces shown with coloured outline) 

-    Annex IV (construction specification) form an integral part of this lease agreement. 

 

	18.5	No oral collateral agreements have been made in relation to this lease agreement. Moreover, oral collateral agreements, modifications, additions and the cancellation of this agreement require the written form. The same
applies for approvals and agreements of all kinds. The requirement of written form can only be waived in writing. 

  

	18.6	Insofar as a party has signed this lease agreement with legally binding effect, this party remains bound to this offer for a period of three weeks following receipt of the offer. Both parties waive the receipt of
acceptance of the offer within the said time period; only the acceptance of the offer must be made within the time period. 

 19 - Written
Form Restructuring Clause 
 The parties are aware of the written form requirements of sections 550 in conjunction with 578(1) German Civil Code (BGB).
They hereby mutually undertake to, when requested by the other party at any time, perform all actions and make all declarations that are required to satisfy this requirement of the written form and to not terminate the lease agreement prematurely on
the grounds of non-compliance with the written form and to not invoke unenforceability of the lease agreement due to non-compliance with the written form. This applies not only to the conclusion of the original/main agreement but also to addendum,
amendment and supplemental agreements. A third party entering into the contract following disposal of the leased property on the part of the Lessor is not bound to the above agreement. Such a party is entitled to the statutory rights.

 Article 1 – Rental Object 
  

	1.1	The Landlord is the owner of the property Karl-Arnold-Platz 1a in 40474 Düsseldorf. 

  

	1.2	On this property is an office and administration building which is known to the Tenant. 

  

	1.3	The Landlord rents to the Tenant the following Rental Object of the above described property as follows 


The rental space on the 5th floor (north wing and south wing), approx. 2,927.92 m2
rental space., as outlined in colour in Annex III and as inspected by the Tenant (the rental space indicated includes shared common-use areas such as entrance area, hallways, staircases, etc. of approx. 5.74%). 

The rental space under this agreement and with binding effect between the parties is determined on the basis of the gif Guideline for
Calculating the Rental Space of Commercial Premises (as of 1 November 2004). Contact areas of non-load-bearing walls were not included. Share common spaces are part of the rental agreement. Common-use areas under this agreement are entrance
areas, staircases, lift lobbies, and connecting paths in the accessible common-use areas which are commonly used by all tenants. 
  

	1.4	The Landlord is obligated to inform the Tenant about the intended renting of premises becoming vacant or being vacant to third parties before entering in such a rental agreement and concedes recurringly to the Tenant to
rent the office space becoming vacant or being vacant to the provisions agreed upon in this rental agreement. The Landlord will inform the Tenant immediately after becoming aware of the intended renting of this to enable the Tenant to exercise his
right and will give the Tenant a response time of 10 working days. 

  

	1.5	Façade and roof do not belong to the rented premises. The installation of advertising measures and/or signs on the façade or in the common-used areas as well as the installation of vending machines,
displays, antennas or similar devices requires the approval of the Landlord. Costs which arise in the connection with the installation, operation, maintenance, and repair of the advertising measures have to be borne by the Tenant. 


 

	1.6	The Tenant has to obtain all necessary official permits and concessions necessary in connection with the operation of his business on his own expense as far as those relate to the person of the Tenant and his business.
All building permits and usage approvals, in particular fire protection requirement for the rental property relating to the agreed usage have to be obtained and maintained by the Landlord.


 

	1.7	Any officially required fitting and safety measures which exceed the conditions described under Article 3.1, have to be installed by the Tenant on his own expense. All building permits and usage approvals for the
operation of an office have been obtained by the Landlord.

	2.1	The rental property is only rented for the purpose of operation as office space by the Tenant. A change of use is only permitted with the prior written consent of the Landlord.

	2.2	The Landlord does not concede any protection of competition or protection of assortment to the Tenant. 


Article 3 – Handover of the Rental Object / Condition of the Rental Object 

 

	3.1	The rental property on the 5th floor will be handed over on 31 December 2015 at the latest. The rental property will be handed over according to the building specifications Annex IV. The layout plans Annex III
concretise the services described in building specifications Annex IV. Any services shown in layout plan Annex III but not described in building specification Annex IV are not part of the contractually agreed scope of construction works of the
Landlord. In case of deviation of the building specification from the description of the layout plans, the layout plan prevails. 


The rental property is suitable for the intended use. It is the Tenant’s responsibility to check whether the rental property meets the
Tenants requirements in relation to e.g. safety, break-in protection of the workspace. Necessary construction measures that might result from this processing will be payable the Tenant. 

The internal temperature does furthermore depend on which illumination devices or technical equipment with waste heat, which might in addition
negatively affect the internal temperature, are installed by the Tenant. 
 Furthermore, noise emission from the adjacent rental property
might lead to impairment of the rental property, at peak marginally exceeding the permissible limits. A control of these emissions is technically not feasible and will be accepted by the Tenant. The rights of the Tenant in case of permanent nuisance
will remain unaffected. 
  

	3.2	It is the responsibility of the Tenant to develop the rental property beyond that corresponding to the intended purpose of use of the rental property. The required permit according to Article 13.1 has to be obtained by
the Tenant prior to commencing any alteration works.

  

	3.3	The Tenant can refuse the acceptance of the rental property if there are defects and objections which affect the contractual use of the rental property more than just insignificantly. Minor remaining work, such as the
subsequent installation of skirting boards, fitting of the doors, remaining paint works and the like, which will not affect the usage as such will not impede the handover but can be performed even after handing over the rental property.


  

	3.4	A hand-over report is prepared during handover and signed by both parties. Any defects and remaining works will be recorded in the report. Unless these defects and remaining works do not significantly influence the
suitability of the rental property for the intended purpose, the Tenant cannot derive any rights, notably nor right to reduce the rent. 

  

	3.5	The Tenant has to provide the security deposit prior to, at the latest at the time of the handover. The rental property will not be handed over unless the security deposit has been provided in the agreed form. This also

	4.3	Prior to the termination of the rental agreement, the Tenant has the one-time right to demand a 3-year extension of the rental period. A written notice of the intention to extend the rental has to be provided to the
Landlord at least 13 months prior to the termination of the rental. 

  

	4.4	After that the rental agreement shall be extended for an unlimited period unless one of the parties terminates the rental agreement prior to its termination with a 9-months period of notice. The termination is permitted
the first time to the end of the fixed rental period. Once the rental period has been extended indefinitely, it is terminable with a 9-months period of notice to the end of each months. 


 

	4.5	The right for extraordinary termination without notice for both parties is defined by law. However, the Landlord has the right to terminate the rental agreement due to important reasons, if: 


 

	 	a)	the Tenant is arrears with payment of rent for two months or with payment of the security deposit; 

  

	 	b)	the Tenant uses the rental property or parts of the rental property for a purpose other than agreed upon with this agreement, in particular leaves it to a third party for use or sublease. 


 

	 	c)	the Tenant does not comply with the conditions of the agreement despite two written warnings relating to the same issue. 


If the rental terminates as a result of a termination without notice by the Landlord, the Tenant is liable for any loss of rent including all
utilities and extra charges occurring to the time the property is rented to another tenant to conditions not worse than those of this agreement, at the latest upon the expiration of this agreement. Any claims of the Tenant against the Landlord shall
only be due after that date. 
 The Landlord reserves the right to assert further claims. 

 

	4.6	Termination requires the written form. 

 Article 5 – Rent, Utilities 

 

	5.1	The base rent for the rental property and the shared common-use areas per month from 1 January 2016 is

  

					
	 approx. 2,927.92 m2 office are per €13.90/m2

	 plus 19% VAT
	  	€	7,732.64	  
		  	  
	  
	 
	 Total
	  	€	48,430.73	  

 Should it be determined within 12 months from the commencement of the rental that the size of the rented area
as described under Article 1.3 deviates more than +/- 3% from the actual size, the rental price will be adjusted accordingly. The parties commit to conclude an addendum to the rental agreement which states the size of the rental property. Further
adjustments to the size will not be permitted.

Estate Immobilienverwaltung Objekte Berlin, Düsseldorf, Essen KG and trivago GmbH for rental space in the building Karl-Arnold-Platz 1a, 40474 Düsseldorf

 For the purpose of invoicing according to Section 14 sec 4 UStG [German Value Added Tax
Law], the Landlord uses the tax id number 144/235/5701 73 in relation to the Tenant. VAT is based on Section 12 sec 1 UStG [German Value Added Tax Law] in the statutory amount. 

 

	5.2	The Landlord opts for VAT. The Tenant ensures that no turnover will be generated in the rental property that would jeopardise the right of the Landlord of input tax deduction. The Tenant will provide yearly proof of
that through a confirmation of his accountant. The same shall apply in the case of permitted subletting of the rental property. In this case, the Tenant has to conclude an identical agreement with the subtenant. Should the Tenant still generate such
turnover, the Landlord has to be informed about this by the Tenant. Insofar as the Landlord loses the right of input tax deduction, he has the right to claim – in addition to the rent - damages to the amount of the lost input tax deduction plus
an additional rent to the amount by which the input tax deduction is reduced plus 7.5% interest. The right to claim further damages remain unaffected. 


The Tenant is obliged to provide the appropriate documentation to the Landlord at no cost and is also obliged to disclose any information to
enable the calculation of the input tax damage and a fiscal assessment.
  

	5.3	In addition to the rent, the Tenant also pays all utilities incurred by the rental property (e.g. electricity, gas, water, etc.) as well as all other utilities and operating costs of the house as certified on a pro-rata
basis. 

 Utilities and operating costs are all costs described in Annex I to this agreement as well as all costs, taxes and
fees emerging after commencement of the agreement. These subsequently emerging costs can be allocated to the Tenant insofar as these costs have an economic connection with the operation and maintenance of the rental property, but they are capped at
10% of the utilities and operating costs agreed upon in this agreement according to Annex I.
 The Landlord advises that the costs according
to Annex I exceed the cost categories according to the German Regulations on Operating Costs [Betriebskostenverordnung]. 
 The
Landlord will charge the utilities and operating costs to the Tenant. The Tenant will pay on these utilities and operating costs a monthly advance payment to the amount of €3.10 per m2 rental space from the day of the beginning of the
rental period according to Article 4.1 up to the provision of the first settlement for utilities and operating costs. After provision of the first settlement for utilities and operating costs, the monthly advance payment is 1/12 of the last yearly
statement. The provision of Article 5.5 remains unaffected by this. 
 Any differences between the final settlement amount and sum of the
paid advance payments will be paid by the Tenant within four weeks from the receipt of the statement or will be refunded by the Landlord, respectively. The Landlord will provide access to the invoicing documents at the building management’s
office for the Tenant after prior arrangement of a time. If the Tenant does not raise any objects to the statement within the four-week period, the statement is deemed approved provided the Landlord pointed out this legal consequence.

As far as legally and technically possible, the Tenant and Landlord will agree which services of the utilities and operating costs will be
provided by the provider directly and also settled with the provider directly. 

  
 Rental Agreement II between DB Real
Estate Immobilienverwaltung Objekte Berlin, Düsseldorf, Essen KG and trivago GmbH for rental space in the building Karl-Arnold-Platz 1a, 40474 Düsseldorf 

Page 7 of 20 








 Insofar as the Landlord has to pay the costs, these costs will be allocated to the Tenant by the
Landlord. The utilities and operating costs are reduced by the amount the Tenant pays directly to the provider.
  

	5.4	The settlement for utilities and operating costs is provided yearly. Settlement period is the calendar year. Is the tenancy terminated during the settlement period, the settlement for utilities and operating costs is
not provided in-between, but in the course of the general settlement of utilities and operating costs. 

 The advance on
utilities and operating costs from 1 January 2016 is as follows: 
  

					
	 2,927.92 m2 x €3.10
	  	€	9,076.55	  
	 plus 19% VAT
	  	€	1,724.54	  
		  	  
	  
	 
	 Total
	  	€	10,801.09	  

  

	5.5	In case the amount or utilities and operating costs increases during the settlement period, the Landlord is permitted to demand appropriate increased advance payments. The same applies if public fees arise which have
been newly introduced. The utilities and operating costs are increased by this new public fee. The currently valid VAT is listed separately. 


Article 6 – Graduated Rent Agreement 
 For every
succeeding rental year the monthly base rent is increased as follows – plus the currently valid VAT -: 
 Office and storage space by 10%. On that
basis the base rent for the rental space is as follows: 
 Second rental year from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2017 by € 406.98 to €41,105.07

 Third rental year from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2018 by € 411.05 € to €41,517.12 

Fourth rental year from 1 January 2019 to 31 December 2019 by €415.16 to €41,932.28. 

The agreed increase will come into effect at the agreed point in time automatically without requiring any further notification of increase by the Landlord.

 Article 7 – Payment of the Rent 
  

	7.1	The obligation for the Tenant to pay the rent begins with the start of the tenancy, i.e. on 1 October 21016. 


However, the Landlord conceded a rent-free period to the Tenant of 5.8 months, which is distributed over the rental period. The parties
therefore agree that the Tenant does not have to pay the rent for the month January of each year from 2016 to 2019. In addition, the period from 1 February 206 to 24 March 2016 is also rent-free. Utilities and operating costs do not count
as rent and have to be paid independently from this agreement. In case the start of the tenancy is postponed, the rent-free period will be postponed accordingly.

account:

 The receipt of the amount due on the above stated accounts is decisive for meeting the deadline. 

 

	7.3	In case of late payment, the Landlord is entitled to charge interest for late payment from the due date until the date of payment of 8% above base rate annually. 


 

	7.4	Payments will be set off against claims subject to limitation, then against costs, interest, and other debts.

	8.3	The Tenant irrevocably assigns all existing and future claims against third parties from transferring the use of the rental property, in particular subletting, to the Landlord by way of security. The assigned amount is
capped at the amount of the sum owed by the Tenant to the Landlord. The Tenant herewith authorises the Landlord for the case of a late payment of more than 14 days to notify the third party in the name and on behalf of the Tenant of the assignment
and to collect the claims of the Tenant against the third party. The Tenant remains entitled to collect the assigned claims until the case of damage arises. 


Article 9 – Maintenance / Repairs / Cosmetic Repairs / Liability 
  

	9.1	The Tenant shall use the rental property, its equipment, the property, including all common-used areas, and the outdoor areas with caution and care.


 

	9.2	The Tenant has to indemnify the Landlord all damages and expenses the Landlord suffers from damages culpably caused by the Tenant. The Tenant is in particular liable for all damages caused by culpable handling of water,
