7. Section 16.23 of the Lease is hereby replaced in its entirety with the following: 

“16.23 Right of First Refusal. Throughout the Term of the Lease, Tenant shall have right of first refusal with respect to any
space located in the Building (the “ROFR Space”), subject to other tenant(s) then existing rights of first refusal for the same space. In the event a third party wishes to lease the ROFR Space, Landlord shall notify Tenant of the
terms upon which the third party is willing to lease the ROFR Space and 

  
 2 








 
Tenant shall have five (5) business days from the date of such notice to inform Landlord that Tenant wishes to lease the ROFR Space. If Landlord does not receive a response from Tenant
within such five (5) day period, Landlord may rent the ROFR Space to the third party. If Tenant wishes to exercise its right of first refusal for the ROFR Space, Tenant must lease the ROFR Space upon the same terms and conditions as the
bona-fide, negotiated proposal from the third party.” 
 8. Section 16.24 is hereby added to the Lease to read as follows: 

“16.24. Renewal Option. Landlord hereby grants Tenant two (2) options (each, a “Renewal Option”) to
extend the then current Term of this Lease with respect to the entire Premises for five (5) years each (each, a “Renewal Term”) by delivering written notice of exercise of the Renewal Option to Landlord not later than eighteen
months (18) months in advance of the expiration of the then current Term. Landlord shall then provide Tenant with Landlord’s estimate of the fair market base rent for the Premises (“Fair Market Rent”). The Base Rent for
the Renewal Term shall equal ninety-five percent (95%) of the estimated Fair Market Rent. Landlord shall determine the “fair market” rent and refurbishment allowance by analyzing comparable space in the Middleton/West Madison,
Wisconsin area. In the event Tenant disputes Landlord’s determination of Fair Market Rent or the refurbishment allowance for the Renewal Term, Landlord and Tenant shall within thirty (30) days after the date on which the Landlord provides
Tenant with its estimate of Fair Market Rent shall each simultaneously submit to the other, in writing, its good faith estimate of the Fair Market Rental Rate (“Good Faith Estimates”). If the higher of the Good Faith Estimates is
not more than one hundred and five percent (105%) of the lower of the Good Faith Estimates, the Fair Market Rent in question shall be deemed to be the average of the submitted rates. If otherwise, then the rate shall be set by arbitration to be
held in Madison, Wisconsin in accordance with the Real Estate Valuation Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, except that the arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator as follows. Within ten (10) days after the
simultaneous submittal by Landlord and Tenant of their respective Good Faith Estimates, each shall designate a recognized and independent commercial real estate attorney or MAI appraiser who has at least ten (10) years recent experience in the
leasing or valuing, as applicable, of rental properties comparable to and in the vicinity of the Building, which arbitrator shall not be an affiliate of Tenant or Landlord. The two individuals so designated shall, within ten (10) business days
after the last of them is designated, appoint a third independent arbitrator possessing the aforesaid qualifications to be the single arbitrator (provided that such third arbitrator shall not have been engaged by Landlord, Tenant or the local
affiliates or agents of either of them during the preceding three (3) years). The third arbitrator so selected shall alone pick one of the two Good Faith Estimates, being the Good Faith Estimate that is closer to the Fair Market Rent as
determined by the arbitrator using the definition set forth herein. The parties agree to be bound by the decision of the arbitrator, which shall be final and non-appealable, and shall share equally the costs of arbitration, and judgment upon the
award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The phrase “Fair Market Rent” shall mean the fair market value annual rental rate that a comparable tenant would pay and a comparable landlord would
accept in an arm’s length transaction, for delivery on or about the applicable delivery or effective date of the applicable Renewal Term, for comparable non-renewal, non-expansion space, for a comparable use in the Building and in comparable
buildings within a one (1) mile radius of the Building (“Comparable Transactions”). In any determination of Comparable Transactions, appropriate consideration shall be given to the annual rental rates per rentable square foot;
the standard of measurement by which the rentable square footage is measured; the ratio of rentable square feet to usable square feet; the type of escalation clause (e.g., whether increases in additional rent are determined on a net or gross basis,
and if gross, whether such increases are determined according to a base year or a base dollar amount expense stop); provisions reflecting free or reduced rent, parking charges, length of the lease term, size, configuration and location of premises
being leased, building standard work letter or tenant improvement allowances, if any; and other generally applicable conditions of tenancy for such Comparable Transactions. The intent is that Tenant will obtain the same rent and other economic
benefits that a landlord would otherwise give in Comparable Transactions and that Landlord will make, and receive the same economic payments and concessions that a landlord would otherwise make, and receive in Comparable Transactions.”

 9. Prior Amendments. 
  

	 	9.1	Except as noted in this Section 9, this Thirteenth Amendment hereby supersedes and replaces all of the terms and conditions of the first through twelfth amendments
to the Lease, which were dated on or about August 15, 2001, August 25, 2003, March 22, 2004 (“Third Amendment”), May 17, 2004 (“Fourth Amendment”), December 14, 2004 (“Fifth

not Guarantor or Landlord receives notice of such sublet or assignment or has consented to it. 
 4. BINDING ON SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.
This Guaranty, and all of the terms hereof, shall be binding on Guarantor and the heirs, successors, assigns, and legal representatives of Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of the successors, assigns, and legal representatives of
Landlord. 
 5. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY. The liability of Guarantor is co-extensive with that of Tenant and also joint and several,
and action may be brought against Guarantor and carried to final judgment either with or without making Tenant a party thereto. Guarantor further agrees that in any action or proceeding brought by Landlord against Tenant, Guarantor does not have to
be joined as a party thereto. 
 6. NO DEMAND NEEDED. Landlord may proceed against Guarantor without first making demand against Tenant
and without first bringing any action or proceeding against Tenant and without joining Tenant as a party defendant. 
 7. WAIVER OF RIGHT TO
DEFAULT NOTICE. Guarantor does not require any notice of Tenant’s nonpayment, nonperformance, or nonobservance of the covenants, terms, and conditions of the Lease. Guarantor expressly waives the right to receive such notice. 

8. TENANT’S BANKRUPTCY. Neither Guarantor’s obligation to make payment in accordance with the terms of this Guaranty, nor any remedy for
the enforcement thereof, shall be impaired, modified, released, or limited in any way by any impairment, modification, release, or limitation of the liability of Tenant or Tenant’s representatives in bankruptcy, resulting from the operation of
any present or future provision of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or from the decision of any court interpreting the same.

 9. SERVICE OF PROCESS. Guarantor irrevocably appoints Tenant as its agent for the service of process
related to this Guaranty. Notwithstanding the proceeding, Landlord agrees to send Guarantor a copy of the legal papers served on Tenant by certified mail, return receipt requested, at the address noted by Guarantor’s signature below.

against Tenant or Guarantor for violation of, or to enforce any covenant, term or condition of, the Lease or this Guaranty. 
 13. NO WAIVER
BY LANDLORD. Landlord’s failure or delay in exercising any rights under the Lease or this Guaranty or in sending any notices, or requests, or in requiring strict performance or observance of any term or covenant of the Lease, shall not
waive any of Landlord’s rights created by this Guaranty. 
 14. COUNTERPARTS; FACSIMILE. This Guaranty may be executed in any number
of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed
