 3 DESCRIPTION OF PROCESS 
  
 The ARP
technology is a reversible chemisorption process that utilizes a zinc loaded ion exchange resin as a sorbent to recover ammonia from an aqueous stream. The sorbent is regenerated by stripping the ammonia with an H2SO4/
ZnSO4 acid/salt solution. The concentrated regenerant (H2SO4/ (NH4)2SO4 / ZnSO4) is processed by pH swing to precipitate zinc hydroxide (Zn(OH)2)
and recover commercial grade ammonium sulfate fertilizer. The zinc hydroxide is reused to make fresh regenerant solution. 
  
 ARP systems are enclosed, skid mounted process units, built at a factory, transported to the site and set in place. They are then connected to tanks and utilities, ready
for operation.

 The foregoing option shall be for the sole benefit of Tenant named herein and not inure to the benefit of and may not be exercised by any assignee or
subtenant of Tenant. 
  

	III.	Adjustment of Commencement Date/Possession 

  
 A. Intentionally deleted. 
  
 B. By taking possession of the Premises, Tenant is deemed to have accepted the Premises and agreed that the Premises is in good order and satisfactory
condition, with no representation or warranty by Landlord as to the condition of the Premises or the Building or suitability thereof for Tenant’s use. 
  
 C. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Landlord shall not be obligated to tender possession of any portion of the Premises or
other space leased by Tenant from time to time hereunder that, on the date possession is to be delivered, is occupied by a tenant or other occupant or that is subject to the rights of any other tenant or occupant, nor shall Landlord have any other
obligations to Tenant under this Lease with respect to such space until the date Landlord: (1) recaptures such space from such existing tenant or occupant; and (2) regains the legal right to possession thereof. This Lease shall not be affected by
any such failure to deliver possession and Tenant shall have no claim for damages against Landlord as a result thereof, all of which are hereby waived and released by Tenant. The Commencement Date shall be postponed until the date Landlord delivers
possession of the Premises to Tenant, in which event the Termination Date shall, at the option of Landlord, correspondingly be postponed on a per diem basis 
  

	IV.	Rent 

  
 A. Base Rental: Each month during the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, in advance, on or before the first day of each month, the monthly
installments in respect of Base Rental specified in Section I.A.2 of this Lease; provided that if the Tenant elects to extend the Lease Term as provided in Section II.C., the Base Rental for the First Extension and, if applicable, the Second
Extension Term shall be as provided in Section II.C. 
  
 B.
Additional Base Rental: During each calendar year, or portion thereof, falling within the Lease Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Base Rental hereunder the sum of: (1) Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the amount, if any, by which
Taxes (hereinafter 

  

 10 

 
defined) for the applicable calendar year exceed Taxes for the applicable Base Year plus (2) Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the amount, if any, by which
Expenses (hereinafter defined) for the applicable calendar year exceed Expenses for the applicable Base Year (such amount being referred to hereinafter as the “Excess”). For purposes hereof, “Expenses” shall mean all Basic Costs
with the exception of Taxes. Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of increases in Taxes and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of increases in Expenses shall be computed separate and independent of each other prior to being added together to determine the
“Excess”. In the event that Taxes and/or Expenses, as the case may be, in any calendar year decrease below the amount of Taxes or Expenses for the applicable Base Year, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Taxes and/or Expenses, as the case may
be, for such calendar year shall be deemed to be $0, it being understood that Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit or offset if Taxes and/or Expenses decrease below the corresponding amount for the applicable Base Year. Prior to the
Commencement Date and prior to January 1 of each calendar year during the Lease Term, or as soon thereafter as practical, Landlord shall make a good faith estimate of the Excess for the applicable calendar year and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share
thereof, which shall include Landlord’s estimate of Basic Costs for the applicable calendar year and a statement as to the amount of Basic Costs for the applicable Base Year. On or before the first day of each month during such calendar year,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Base Rental, a monthly installment equal to one-twelfth of Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Landlord’s estimate of the Excess. Landlord shall have the right from time to time during any such calendar
year to revise the estimate of Basic Costs and the Excess for such year and provide Tenant with a revised statement therefor, and thereafter the amount Tenant shall pay each month shall be based upon such revised estimate. If Landlord does not
provide Tenant with an estimate of the Basic Costs and the Excess by January 1 of any calendar year, Tenant shall continue to pay a monthly installment based on the previous year’s estimate until such time as Landlord provides Tenant with an
estimate of Basic Costs and the Excess for the current year as provided herein. Upon receipt of such current year’s estimate, an adjustment shall be made for any month during the current year with respect to which Tenant paid monthly
installments of Additional Base Rental based on the previous year’s estimate. Tenant shall pay Landlord for any underpayment within ten (10) days after demand. Any overpayment shall, at Landlord’s option, be refunded to Tenant or credited
against the installment of Additional Base Rental due for the months immediately following the furnishing of such estimate, but in any event, any amount not credited to Tenant shall be refunded in full to Tenant upon termination of this Lease. Any
amounts paid by Tenant based on any estimate shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to the immediately following paragraph when actual Basic Costs are determined for such calendar year. 
  
 As soon as is practical following the end of each calendar year during the Lease Term, Landlord shall
furnish to Tenant a statement of Landlord’s actual Basic Costs and the actual Excess for the previous calendar year. If the estimated Excess actually paid by Tenant for the prior year is in excess of Tenant’s actual Pro Rata Share of the
Excess for such prior year, then Landlord shall apply such overpayment against Additional Base Rental due or to become due hereunder, provided if the Lease Term expires prior to the determination of such overpayment, Landlord shall refund such
overpayment to Tenant after first deducting the amount of any Rent due hereunder. Likewise, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, within ten (10) days after demand, any underpayment with respect to the prior year, whether or not the Lease has terminated
prior to receipt by Tenant of a statement for such underpayment, it being understood that this clause shall survive the expiration of the Lease. 
  

 11 

 C. The term “Basic Costs” shall mean all costs and expenses reasonably and necessarily paid or
incurred by Landlord in each calendar year in connection with operating, maintaining, repairing, managing and owning the Building and the Property, including, but not limited to, the following: 
  
 1. All labor costs for all persons performing services required or utilized
in connection with the operation, repair, replacement and maintenance of and control of access to the Building and the Property, including but not limited to amounts incurred for wages, salaries and other compensation for services, payroll, social
security, unemployment and other similar taxes, workers’ compensation insurance, uniforms, training, disability benefits, pensions hospitalization, retirement plans, group insurance or any other similar or like expenses or benefits. 

 
 2. All management fees, the cost of equipping and maintaining a
management office at the Building, accounting services, legal fees not attributable to leasing and collection activity, and all other administrative costs relating to the Building and the Property. If management services are not provided by a third
party, Landlord shall be entitled to a management fee comparable to that due and payable to third parties provided Landlord or management companies owned by, or management divisions of, Landlord perform actual management services of a comparable
nature and type as normally would be performed by third parties. 
  
 3. All rental and/or purchase costs of materials, supplies, tools and equipment used in the operation, repair, replacement and maintenance and the control of access to the Building and the Property. 
  
 4. All amounts charged to Landlord by contractors and/or suppliers for
services, replacement parts, components, materials, equipment and supplies furnished in connection with the operation repair, maintenance, replacement of and control of access to any part of the Building, or the Property generally, including the
heating, air conditioning, ventilating, plumbing, electrical, elevator and other systems and equipment, but excluding any such amounts charged to or incurred by Landlord with respect to services, parts, components, materials, equipment and supplies
furnished in connection with work performed for any other tenant in the Building that does not benefit all tenants in the Building. At Landlord’s option, major repair items may be amortized over a period of up to five (5) years. 
  
 5. All premiums and deductibles paid by Landlord for fire and extended
coverage insurance, earthquake and extended coverage insurance, liability and extended coverage insurance, rental loss insurance, elevator insurance, boiler insurance and other insurance customarily carried from 

  

 12 

 
time to time by landlords of comparable office buildings or required to be carried by Landlord’s Mortgagee. 
  
 6. Charges for water, gas, steam and sewer, but excluding those charges for
which Landlord is otherwise reimbursed by tenants, and charges for Electrical Costs. For purposes hereof, the term “Electrical Costs” shall mean: (i) all charges paid by Landlord for electricity supplied to the Building, Property and
Premises, regardless of whether such charges are characterized as distribution charges, transmission charges, generation charges, public good charges, disconnection charges, competitive transaction charges, stranded cost recoveries or otherwise;
(ii) except to the extent otherwise included in Basic Costs, any costs incurred in connection with the energy management program for the Building, Property and Premises, including any costs incurred for the replacement of lights and ballasts and the
purchase and installation of sensors and other energy saving equipment; and (iii) if and to the extent permitted by law, a reasonable fee for the services provided by Landlord in connection with the selection of utility companies and the negotiation
and administration of contracts for the generation of electricity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Electrical Costs shall be adjusted as follows: (a) any amounts received by Landlord as reimbursement for the above standard building electrical
consumption shall be deducted from Electrical Costs, (b) the cost of electricity incurred in providing overtime HVAC to specific tenants shall be deducted from Electrical Costs, it being agreed that the electrical component of overtime HVAC costs
shall be calculated as a reasonable percentage of the total HVAC costs charged to such tenants, and (c) if Tenant is billed directly for the cost of electricity to the Premises as a separate charge in addition to Base Rental and Basic Costs, the
cost of electricity to individual tenant spaces in the Building shall be deducted from Electrical Costs. 
  
 7. All landscape expenses and costs of maintaining, repairing, resurfacing and striping of the parking areas and garages of the Property, if any.

  
 8. Cost of all maintenance service agreements, including
those for equipment, alarm service, window cleaning, drapery or Venetian blind cleaning, janitorial services, pest control, uniform supply, plant maintenance, landscaping, and any parking equipment. 
  
 9. Cost of all other repairs, replacements and general maintenance of the
Property and Building not specified above, but excluding any such costs incurred by Landlord in connection with work performed for any other tenant in the Building that does not benefit all tenants in the Building. 
  
 10. The amortized cost of capital improvements made to the Building or the
Property which are: (a) primarily for the purpose of reducing operating expense costs or otherwise improving the operating efficiency 

  

 13 

 
of the Property or Building; or (b) required to comply with any laws, rules or regulations of any governmental authority or a requirement of Landlord’s
insurance carrier. The cost of such capital improvements shall be amortized over a period of five (5) years and shall, at Landlord’s option, include interest at a rate that is reasonably equivalent to the interest rate that Landlord would be
required to pay to finance the cost of the capital improvement in question as of the date such capital improvement is performed, provided if the payback period for any capital improvement is less than five (5) years, Landlord may amortize the cost
of such capital improvement over the payback period. 
  
 11. Any
other expense or charge of any nature whatsoever which, in accordance with general industry practice with respect to the operation of a first-class office building, would be construed as an operating expense. 
  
 In addition, if Landlord incurs any costs and expenses in connection with
the operation, maintenance, repair, management or ownership of the Building and one or more other buildings, such costs and expenses shall be equitably prorated between the Building and such other buildings and the Building’s equitable share
thereof shall be included in Basic Costs. Basic Costs shall not include the cost of capital improvements (except as set forth above and as distinguished from replacement parts or components purchased and installed in the ordinary course),
depreciation, interest (except as provided above with respect to the amortization of capital improvements), lease commissions, and principal payments on mortgage and other non-operating debts of Landlord. If the Building is not at least ninety-five
percent (95%) occupied during any calendar year of the Lease Term or if Landlord is not supplying services to at least ninety-five percent (95%) of the total Rentable Area of the Building at any time during any calendar year of the Lease Term,
actual Basic Costs for purposes hereof shall, at Landlord’s option, be determined as if the Building had been ninety-five percent (95%) occupied and Landlord had been supplying services to ninety-five percent (95%) of the Rentable Area of the
Building during such year. If Tenant pays for its Pro Rata Share of Basic Costs based on increases over a Base Year and Basic Costs for any calendar year during the Lease Term are determined as provided in the foregoing sentence, Basic Costs for
such Base Year shall also be determined as if the Building had been ninety-five percent (95%) occupied and Landlord had been supplying services to ninety-five percent (95%) of the Rentable Area of the Building. Any necessary extrapolation of Basic
Costs under this Article shall be performed by adjusting the cost of those components of Basic Costs that are impacted by changes in the occupancy of the Building (including, at Landlord’s option, Taxes) to the cost that would have been
incurred if the Building had been ninety-five percent (95%) occupied and Landlord had been supplying services to ninety-five percent (95%) of the Rentable Area of the Building. In addition, if Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Basic Costs is
determined based upon increases over a Base Year and Basic Costs for the Base Year include exit and disconnection fees, standard cost charges and/or competitive transaction charges, such fees and charges may, at Landlord’s option, be imputed as
a Basic Cost for subsequent years in which such fees and charges are not incurred. In no event, however, shall the amount of such imputed fees and charges exceed the actual amount of exit and disconnection fees, stranded 

  

 14 

 
cost charges and/or competitive transaction charges that were actually included in Basic Costs for the Base Year. 
  
 D. If Basic Costs for any calendar year increase by more than five percent
(5%) over Basic Costs for the immediately preceding calendar year, Tenant, within ninety (90) days after receiving Landlord’s statement of actual Basic Costs for a particular calendar year, shall have the right to provide Landlord with written
notice (the “Review Notice”) of its intent to review Landlord’s books and records relating to the Basic Costs for such calendar year. Within a reasonable time after receipt of a timely Review Notice, Landlord shall make such books and
records available to Tenant or Tenant’s agent for its review at either Landlord’s home office or at the office of the Building, provided that if Tenant retains an agent to review Landlord’s books and records for any calendar year,
such agent must be CPA firm licensed to do business in the state in which the Building is located. Tenant shall be solely responsible for any and all costs, expenses and fees incurred by Tenant or Tenant’s agent in connection with such review.
If Tenant elects to review Landlord’s books and records, within thirty (30) days after such books and records are made available to Tenant, Tenant shall have the right to give Landlord written notice stating in reasonable detail any objection
to Landlord’s statement of actual Basic Costs for such calendar year. If Tenant fails to give Landlord written notice of objection within such thirty (30) day period or fails to provide Landlord with a Review Notice within the ninety (90) day
period provided above, Tenant shall be deemed to have approved Landlord’s statement of Basic Costs in all respects and shall thereafter be barred from raising any claims with respect thereto except in the case of fraud. Upon Landlord’s
receipt of a timely objection notice from Tenant, Landlord and Tenant shall work together in good faith to resolve the discrepancy between Landlord’s statement and Tenant’s review. If Landlord and Tenant determine that Basic Costs for the
calendar year in question are less than reported, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a credit against future Additional Base Rental in the amount of any overpayment by Tenant. Likewise, if Landlord and Tenant determine that Basic Costs for the
calendar year in question are greater than reported, Tenant shall forthwith pay to Landlord the amount of underpayment by Tenant. Any information obtained by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be treated as confidential.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant shall not be permitted to examine Landlord’s books and records or to dispute any statement of Basic Costs unless Tenant has paid to Landlord the amount due as shown on Landlord’s
statement of actual Basic Costs, said payment being a condition precedent to Tenant’s right to examine Landlord’s books and records. 
  
 E. The term “Taxes”, which for purposes hereof, shall mean: (a) all real estate taxes and assessments on the Property, the Building or the
Premises, and taxes and assessments levied in substitution or supplementation in whole or in part of such taxes, (b) all personal property taxes for the Building’s personal property, including license expenses, (c) all taxes imposed on services
of Landlord’s agents and employees, (d) all other taxes, fees or assessments now or hereafter levied by any governmental authority on the Property, the Building or its contents or on the operation and use thereof except as relate to specific
tenants, and (e) all costs and fees incurred in connection with seeking reductions in or refunds in Taxes including, without limitation, any costs incurred by Landlord to challenge the tax valuation of the Building, but excluding income, gross
receipts or similar taxes imposed upon Landlord. For the purpose of 

  

 15 

 
determining real estate taxes and assessments for any given calendar year, the amount to be included in Taxes for such year shall be as follows: (1) with
respect to any special assessment that is payable in installments Taxes for such year shall include the amount of the installment (and any interest) due and payable during such year; and (2) with respect to all other real estate taxes, Taxes for
such year shall, at Landlord’s election, include either the amount accrued, assessed or otherwise imposed for such year or the amount due and payable for such year, provided that Landlord’s election shall be applied consistently throughout
the Lease Term. If a reduction in Taxes is obtained for any year of the Lease Term during which Tenant paid its Pro Rata Share of Basic Costs, then Basic Costs for such year will be retroactively adjusted and Landlord shall provide Tenant with a
credit, if any, based on such adjustment. Likewise if a reduction is subsequently obtained for Taxes for the Base Year (if Tenant’s Pro Rata Share is based upon increases in Basic Costs over a Base Year), Basic Costs for the Base Year shall be
restated and the Excess for all subsequent years recomputed. Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of any such increase in the Excess within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s receipt of a statement therefor from Landlord.

  
 F. Tenant covenants and agrees to pay to Landlord during the
Lease Term, without any setoff or deduction whatsoever, the full amount of all Base Rental and Additional Base Rental due hereunder. In addition, Tenant shall pay and be liable for, as additional rent, all rental, sales and use taxes or other
similar taxes, if any, levied or imposed by any city, state, county or other governmental body having authority upon any payments of Base Rental or additional rent, such payments to be in addition to all other payments required to be paid to
Landlord by Tenant under the terms and conditions of this Lease. Any such payments shall be paid concurrently with the payments of the Rent on which the tax is based. The Base Rental, Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Basic Costs and any recurring
monthly charges due hereunder shall be due and payable in advance on the first day of each calendar month during the Lease Term without demand, provided that the installment of Base Rental for the first full calendar month of the Lease Term shall be
payable upon the execution of this Lease by Tenant. All other items of Rent shall be due and payable by Tenant on or before ten (10) days after billing by Landlord. If the Lease Term commences on a day other than the first day of a calendar month or
terminates on a day other than the last day of a calendar month, then the monthly Base Rental and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Basic Costs for such month shall be prorated for the number of days in such month occurring within the Lease Term based
on a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days of the Lease Term that fell within such calendar month and the denominator of which is thirty (30). All such payments shall be by a good and sufficient check. No payment by Tenant or
receipt or acceptance by Landlord of a lesser amount than the correct amount of Rent due under this Lease shall be deemed to be other than a payment on account of the earliest Rent due hereunder, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check
or any letter accompanying any check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance or pursue any other available remedy. The
acceptance by Landlord of any Rent on a date after the due date of such payment shall not be construed to be a waiver of Landlord’s right to declare a default for any other late payment. Tenant’s covenant to pay Rent shall be independent
of every other covenant set forth in this Lease. 
  

 16 

 G. All Rent not paid when due and payable shall bear interest from the date due until paid at the lesser
of: (1) eighteen percent (18%) per annum; or (2) the Maximum Rate. In addition, if Tenant fails to pay any installment of Rent when due and payable hereunder, a service fee equal to five percent (5%) of such unpaid amount will be due and payable
immediately by Tenant to Landlord. 
  
 H. In lieu of requiring
Tenant to pay Rent by good and sufficient check in the manner described in Section IV.F. above, Landlord shall have the right in its sole and absolute discretion to require Tenant to pay Rent by means of an automated debit system (the
“Automatic Debit System”) whereby any or all payments of Rent shall be debited from Tenant’s account in a bank or financial institution designated by Tenant and credited to Landlord’s account in a bank or financial institution
designated by Landlord. In the event Landlord elects to have Tenant pay all or any portion of Rent by means of the Automatic Debit System, Tenant, within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord, shall execute and deliver to Landlord any
authorizations, certificates or other documentation as may be required to establish and give effect to the Automatic Debit System. If Landlord elects to have less than all items of Rent paid by the Automatic Debit System, Landlord shall advise
Tenant in writing as to those items of Rent that will be paid by the Automatic Debit System (e.g. Base Rental only or Base Rental and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Basic Costs only). Either party shall have the right to change its bank or
financial institution from time to time, provided that Tenant, no less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of any such change, shall provide Landlord with written notice of such change and any and all authorizations, certificates or
other documentation as may be required to establish and give effect to the Automatic Debit System at Tenant’s new bank or financial institution. Tenant shall promptly pay all service fees and other charges imposed upon Landlord or Tenant in
connection with the Automatic Debit System, including, without limitation, any charges resulting from insufficient funds in Tenant’s bank account. In the event that any Rent is not paid on time as a result of insufficient funds in Tenant’s
account, Tenant shall be liable for any interest and/or service fee in accordance with Section IV.G. above. Tenant shall remain liable to Landlord for all payments of Rent due hereunder regardless of whether Tenant’s account is incorrectly
debited in any given month, it being agreed that a debit of less than the full amount of Rent due shall not be construed as a waiver by Landlord of its right to receive any unpaid balance of Rent. 
  

	V.	Use 

  
 The Premises shall be used for the Permitted Use and for no other purpose. Tenant agrees not to use or permit the use of the Premises for any purpose
which is illegal, dangerous to life, limb or property or which, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, creates a nuisance or which would increase the cost of insurance coverage with respect to the Building. Tenant shall conduct its business and
control its agents, servants, contractors, employees, customers, licensees, and invitees in such a manner as not to interfere with, annoy or disturb other tenants, or in any way interfere with Landlord in the management and operation of the
Building. Tenant will maintain the Premises in a clean and healthful condition, and comply with all laws, ordinances, orders, rules and regulations of any governmental entity with reference to the operation of Tenant’s business and to the use,
condition, configuration or occupancy of the Premises, including without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act (collectively referred to as “Laws”). Tenant, within ten (10) days after receipt thereof, shall provide Landlord with
copies 

  

 17 

 
of any notices it receives with respect to a violation or alleged violation of any Laws. Tenant will comply with the rules and regulations of the Building
attached hereto as Exhibit B and such other rules and regulations adopted and altered by Landlord from time to time and will cause all of its agents, servants, contractors, employees, customers, licensees and invitees to do so. All changes to such
rules and regulations will be reasonable and shall be sent by Landlord to Tenant in writing. 
  

	VI.	Security Deposit 

  
 The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord without liability for interest (except as required by law) and as security for the performance of
Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. The Security Deposit shall not be considered an advance payment of Rent or a measure of Tenant’s liability for damages. Landlord may, from time to time, without prejudice to any other remedy, use all
or a portion of the Security Deposit to make good any arrearage of Rent, to repair damages to the Premises, to clean the Premises upon termination of this Lease or otherwise to satisfy any other covenant or obligation of Tenant hereunder. Following
any such application of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall pay to Landlord on demand the amount so applied in order to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. If Tenant is not in default at the termination of this Lease, after Tenant
surrenders the Premises to Landlord in accordance with this Lease and all amounts due Landlord from Tenant are finally determined and paid by Tenant or through application of the Security Deposit, the balance of the Security Deposit remaining after
any such application shall be returned to Tenant. If Landlord transfers its interest in the Premises during the Lease Term, Landlord may assign the Security Deposit to the transferee and thereafter shall have no further liability for the return of
such Security Deposit. Tenant agrees to look solely to such transferee or assignee for the return of the Security Deposit. Landlord and its successors and assigns shall not be bound by any actual or attempted assignment or encumbrance of the
Security Deposit by Tenant, provided, however, if Tenant’s interest in this Lease has been assigned, Landlord shall, provided that Landlord has been furnished with a fully executed copy of the agreement assigning such Security Deposit, return
the Security Deposit to such assignee in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. If Landlord returns the Security Deposit to Tenant’s assignee as aforesaid, Landlord will have no further obligation to any party with respect thereto.
Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its other accounts. 
  

	VII.	Services to be Furnished by Landlord 

  
 A. Landlord, as part of Basic Costs (except as otherwise provided), agrees to furnish Tenant the following services: 
  
 1. Water for use in the lavatories on the floor(s) on which the Premises is
located. If Tenant desires water in the Premises for any approved reason, including a private lavatory or kitchen, cold water shall be supplied, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, from the Building water main through a line and fixtures
installed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense with the prior reasonable consent of Landlord. If Tenant desires hot water in the Premises, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense and subject to the prior reasonable consent of Landlord, may install a
hot water heater in the Premises. Tenant shall be solely responsible for maintenance and repair of any such hot water heater. 
  

 18 

 2. Central heat and air conditioning in season during Normal Business Hours, at such temperatures and in
such amounts as are considered by Landlord, in its reasonable judgment, to be standard for buildings of similar class, size, age and location, or as required by governmental authority. In the event that Tenant requires central heat, ventilation or
air conditioning at hours other than Normal Business Hours, such central heat, ventilation or air conditioning shall be furnished to Tenant via Tenant’s utilizing dial in phone system. If Tenant requests Landlord to program for after hours use,
then Tenant shall provide written request delivered to Landlord at the office of the Building prior to 3:00 P.M. at least one Business Day in advance of the date for which such usage is requested. Tenant shall pay Landlord, as Additional Base
Rental, the entire cost of additional service, currently $25.00 per hour, and as such costs are determined by Landlord from time to time. 
  
 3. Maintenance and repair of all Common Areas in the manner and to the extent reasonably deemed by Landlord to be standard for buildings of similar class,
size, age and location. 
  
 4. Janitor service on Business Days;
provided, however, if Tenant’s use, floor covering or other improvements, require special services, Tenant shall pay the additional cost reasonably attributable thereto as Additional Base Rental. 
  
 5. Passenger elevator service in common with other tenants of the Building.

  
 6. Electricity to the Premises for general office use, in
accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Article XI of this Lease. 
  
 a) The failure by Landlord to any extent to furnish, or the interruption or termination of, any services in whole or in part, resulting from adherence to
laws, regulations and administrative orders, wear, use, repairs, improvements, alterations or any causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord shall not render Landlord liable in any respect nor be construed as a constructive eviction of Tenant,
nor give rise to an abatement of Rent, nor relieve Tenant from the obligation to fulfill any covenant or agreement hereof. Should any of the equipment or machinery used in the provision of such services for any cause cease to function properly,
Landlord shall use reasonable diligence to repair such equipment or machinery. 
  
 b) Tenant expressly acknowledges that if Landlord, from time to time, elects to provide security services, Landlord shall not be deemed to have warranted the efficiency of any security personnel, service, procedures
or equipment and Landlord shall not be liable in any manner for the failure of any such security personnel, services, procedures or equipment to 

  

 19 

 
prevent or control or apprehend anyone suspected of personal injury property damage or any criminal conduct in, on or around the Property. 
  

	VIII. 	Leasehold Improvements 

  
 Any trade fixtures, unattached and movable equipment or furniture, or other personal property brought into the Premises by Tenant (“Tenant’s
Property”) shall be owned and insured by Tenant. Tenant shall remove all such Tenant’s Property from the Premises in accordance with the terms of Article XXXV hereof. Any and all alterations, additions and improvements to the Premises,
including any built-in furniture (collectively “Leasehold Improvements”) shall be owned and insured by Landlord and shall remain upon the Premises, all without compensation, allowance or credit to Tenant. Landlord may, nonetheless, at any
time prior to, or within six (6) months after, the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, require Tenant to remove any Leasehold Improvements performed by or for the benefit of Tenant and all
electronic, phone and data cabling as are designated by Landlord (the “Required Removables”) at Tenant’s sole cost. In the event that Landlord so elects, Tenant shall remove such Required Removables within ten (10) days after notice
from Landlord, provided that in no event shall Tenant be required to remove such Required Removables prior to the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession. In addition to Tenant’s obligation to remove
the Required Removables, Tenant shall repair any damage caused by such removal and perform such other work as is reasonably necessary to restore the Premises. If Tenant fails to remove any specified Required Removables or to perform any required
repairs and restoration within the time period specified above, Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, may remove, store, sell and/or dispose of the Required Removables and perform such required repairs and restoration work. Tenant,
within five (5) days after demand from Landlord, shall reimburse Landlord for any and all reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in connection with the Required Removables. 
  

	IX.	Graphics 

  
 Landlord shall provide and install at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, any suite numbers and Tenant identification on the exterior of the Premises
using the standard graphics for the Building. Tenant shall not be permitted to install any signs or other identification without Landlord’s prior written consent. 
  

	X.	Repairs and Alterations 

  
 A. Except to the extent such obligations are imposed upon Landlord hereunder, Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall perform all maintenance and
repairs to the Premises as are necessary to keep the same in good condition and repair throughout the entire Lease Term ordinary wear and tear excepted. Tenant’s repair and maintenance obligations with respect to the Premises shall include,
without limitation, any necessary repairs with respect to: (1) any carpet or other floor covering, (2) any interior partitions, (3) any interior doors, (4) the interior sides of any demising walls, (5) any telephone and computer cabling that serves
Tenant’s equipment exclusively, (6) any supplemental air conditioning units, private showers and kitchens, including any plumbing in connection therewith, and similar facilities serving Tenant exclusively, and (7) any alterations, additions or
improvements performed by contractors retained by Tenant. All such work shall be performed in accordance with section X.B. below and the 

  

 20 

 
rules, policies and procedures reasonably enacted by Landlord from time to time for the performance of work in the Building. If Tenant fails to make any
necessary repairs to the Premises, Landlord may, at its option, make such repairs, and Tenant shall pay the cost thereof to the Landlord on demand as Additional Base Rental, together with an administrative charge in an amount equal to ten percent
(10%) of the cost of such repairs. Landlord shall, at its expense (except as included in Basic Costs), keep and maintain in good repair and working order and make all repairs to and perform necessary maintenance upon: (a) all structural elements of
the Building; and (b) all mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems that serve the Building in general; and (c) the Building facilities common to all tenants including, but not limited to, the ceilings, walls and floors in the Common Areas.

  
 B. Tenant shall not make or allow to be made any alterations,
additions or improvements to the Premises without first obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord in each such instance. Prior to commencing any such work and as a condition to obtaining Landlord’s consent, Tenant must furnish Landlord
with plans and specifications reasonably acceptable to Landlord; names and addresses of contractors reasonably acceptable to Landlord; copies of contracts; necessary permits and approvals; evidence of contractor’s and subcontractor’s
insurance in accordance with Article XVI section B. hereof; and payment bond or other security, all in form and amount satisfactory to Landlord. All such improvements, alterations or additions shall be constructed in a good and workmanlike manner
using Building Standard materials or other new materials of equal or greater quality. Landlord, to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid any disruption to the tenants and occupants of the Building, shall have the right to designate the time when
any such alterations, additions and improvements may be performed and to otherwise designate reasonable rules, regulations and procedures for the performance of work in the Building. Upon completion, Tenant shall furnish “as-built” plans,
contractor’s affidavits and full and final waivers of lien and receipted bills covering all labor and materials. All improvements, alterations and additions shall comply with all insurance requirements, codes, ordinances, laws and regulations,
including without limitation, the Americans with Disabilities Act. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand as Additional Base Rental for all sums, if any, expended by Landlord for third party examination of the architectural, mechanical,
electric and plumbing plans for any alterations, additions or improvements. In addition, if Landlord so requests, Landlord shall be entitled to oversee the construction of any alterations, additions or improvements that may affect the structure of
the Building or any of the mechanical, electrical, plumbing or life safety systems of the Building. In the event Landlord elects to oversee such work, Landlord shall be entitled to receive a fee for such oversight in an amount equal to fifteen
percent (15%) of the cost of such alterations, additions or improvements. Landlord’s approval of Tenant’s plans and specifications for any work performed for or on behalf of Tenant shall not be deemed to be a representation by Landlord
that such plans and specifications comply with applicable insurance requirements, building codes, ordinances, laws or regulations or that the alterations, additions and improvements constructed in accordance with such plans and specifications will
be adequate for Tenant’s use. 
  

 21 

	XI.	Use of Electrical Services by Tenant 

  
 A. All electricity used by Tenant in the Premises shall, at Landlord’s option, be paid for by Tenant either: (1) through inclusion in Base Rental and
Basic Costs (except as provided in Section XI.B. below with respect to excess usage); or (2) by a separate charge billed directly to Tenant by Landlord and payable by Tenant as Additional Base Rental within ten (10) days after billing; or (3) by a
separate charge or charges billed by the utility company(ies) providing electrical service and payable by Tenant directly to such utility company(ies). It is understood that electrical service to the Premises may be furnished by one or more
companies providing electrical generation, transmission and/or distribution services and that the cost of electricity may be billed as a single charge or divided into and billed in a variety of categories such as distribution charges, transmission
charges, generation charges, public good charges or other similar categories. Landlord shall have the exclusive right to select the company(ies) providing electrical service to the Building, Premises and Property to aggregate the electrical service
for the Building, Premises and Property with other buildings, to purchase electricity for the Building, Premises and Property through a broker and/or buyers group and to change the providers and/or manner of purchasing electricity from time to time.
Landlord shall be entitled to receive a reasonable fee (if permitted by law) for the services provided by Landlord in connection with the selection of utility companies and the negotiation and administration of contracts for the generation of
electricity. In addition, if Landlord bills Tenant directly for the cost of electricity as Additional Base Rental, the cost of electricity may include (if permitted by law) an administrative fee to reimburse Landlord for the cost of reading meters,
preparing invoices and related costs. 
  
 B. Tenant’s use of
electrical service in the Premises shall not exceed either in voltage, rated capacity, use beyond Normal Business Hours or overall load, that which Landlord deems to be standard for the Building. In the event Tenant shall consume (or request that it
be allowed to consume) electrical service in excess of that deemed by Landlord to be standard for the Building, Landlord may refuse to consent to such excess usage or may condition its consent to such excess usage upon such conditions as Landlord
reasonably elects (including the installation of utility service upgrades, submeters, air handlers or cooling units), and all such additional usage (to the extent permitted by law), installation and maintenance thereof shall be paid for by Tenant as
Additional Base Rental. Landlord, at any time during the Lease Term, shall have the right to separately meter electrical usage for the Premises or to measure electrical usage by survey or any other method that Landlord, in its reasonable judgment,
deems to be appropriate. 
  
 C. Notwithstanding Section A. above
to the contrary, if Landlord permits Tenant to purchase electrical power for the Premises from a provider other than Landlord’s designated company(ies), such provider shall be considered to be a contractor of Tenant and Tenant shall indemnify
and hold Landlord harmless from such provider’s acts and omissions while in, or in connection with their services to, the Building or Premises in accordance with the terms and conditions of Article XV. In addition, at the request of Landlord,
Tenant shall allow Landlord to purchase electricity from Tenant’s provider at Tenant’s rate or at such lower rate as can be negotiated by the aggregation of Landlord’s and Tenant’s requirements for electricity power.

	XII.	Entry by Landlord 

  
 Landlord and its agents or representatives shall have the right to enter the Premises to inspect the same, or to show the Premises to prospective
purchasers, mortgagees, tenants (during the last twelve months of the Lease Term or earlier in connection with a potential relocation) or insurers, or to clean or make repairs, alterations or additions thereto, including any work that Landlord deems
necessary for the safety, protection or preservation of the Building or any occupants thereof, or to facilitate repairs, alterations or additions to the Building or any other tenants’ premises. Except for any entry by Landlord in an emergency
situation or to provide normal cleaning and janitorial service, Landlord shall provide Tenant with reasonable prior notice of any entry into the Premises, which notice may be given verbally. If reasonably necessary for the protection and safety of
Tenant and its employees, Landlord shall have the right to temporarily close the Premises to perform repairs, alterations or additions in the Premises, provided that Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to perform all such work on weekends and
after Normal Business Hours. Entry by Landlord hereunder shall not constitute a constructive eviction or entitle Tenant to any abatement or reduction of Rent by reason thereof. 
  

	XIII.	 Assignment and Subletting 

  
 A. Tenant shall not assign, sublease, transfer or encumber this Lease or any interest therein or grant any license, concession or other right of occupancy
of the Premises or any portion thereof or otherwise permit the use of the Premises or any portion thereof by any party other than Tenant (any of which events is hereinafter called a “Transfer”) without the prior written consent of
Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld with respect to any proposed assignment or subletting. Landlord’s consent shall not be considered unreasonably withheld if: (1) the proposed transferee’s financial responsibility
does not meet the same criteria Landlord uses to select Building tenants; (2) the proposed transferee’s business is not suitable for the Building considering the business of the other tenants and the Building’s prestige or would result in
a violation of an exclusive right granted to another tenant in the Building; (3) the proposed use is different than the Permitted Use: (4) the proposed transferee is a government agency or occupant of the Building; (5) Tenant is in default; or (6)
any portion of the Building or Premises would become subject to additional or different governmental laws or regulations as a consequence of the proposed Transfer and/or the proposed transferee’s use and occupancy of the Premises. Tenant
acknowledges that the foregoing is not intended to be an exclusive list of the reasons for which Landlord may reasonably withhold its consent to a proposed Transfer. Any attempted Transfer in violation of the terms of this Article shall, at
Landlord’s sole and absolute option, be deemed an Event of Default. Consent by Landlord to one or more Transfers shall not operate as a waiver of Landlord’s rights as to any subsequent Transfers. In addition Tenant shall not, without
Landlord’s prior written consent, publicly advertise the proposed rental rate for any Transfer. 
  
 B. If Tenant requests Landlord’s consent to a Transfer, Tenant, together with such request for consent, shall provide Landlord with the name of the
proposed transferee and the nature of the business of the proposed transferee, the term, use, rental rate and all other material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer, including, without limitation, a copy of the proposed assignment,
sublease or other contractual documents and evidence satisfactory to Landlord that the proposed transferee is financially 

  

 23 

 
responsible. Landlord shall respond in writing to any such request for consent to a Transfer within twenty-five (25) days of its receipt of all information
and documentation required herein by either (a) notifying Tenant that it consents to such Transfer or that it will withhold its consent to such Transfer, and, if so, the reasons for withholding its consent; (b) notifying Tenant that, in lieu
thereof, Landlord desires to negotiate directly with the proposed transferee. If Landlord fails to respond in writing to a consent to a Transfer as provided herein within twenty-five (25) days of its receipt of all information and documentation
required herein, Landlord shall be deemed to have given its consent to such Transfer. If Landlord notifies Tenant within such twenty-five (25) day period that it desires to negotiate directly with the proposed transferee, Landlord shall then have a
period an additional period of thirty (30) days in which to conduct such negotiations, and, if Landlord is able to reach an agreement with such proposed transferee within such thirty (30) day period, Landlord shall terminate this Lease in whole or
in part as appropriate effective not later than thirty (30) days after reaching such agreement. If Landlord is unable to reach an agreement with such proposed transferee within such thirty (30) day period, then Landlord shall notify Tenant in
writing that it consents to such Transfer or that it will withhold its consent to such Transfer, and, if so, the reasons for withholding its consent. In the event Landlord consents to any such Transfer, the Transfer and consent thereto shall be in a
form approved by Landlord, and Tenant shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the review and approval of such documentation, which costs and expenses shall be deemed to be at least Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars
($750.00). 
  
 C. All cash or other proceeds (the “Transfer
Consideration”) of any Transfer of Tenant’s interest in this Lease and/or the Premises, whether consented to by Landlord or not, shall be paid to Landlord and Tenant hereby assigns all rights it might have or ever acquire in any such
proceeds to Landlord. In addition to the Rent hereunder, Tenant hereby covenants and agrees to pay to Landlord all rent and other consideration which it receives which is in excess of the Rent payable hereunder within ten (10) days following receipt
thereof by Tenant. In addition to any other rights Landlord may have, Landlord shall have the right to contact any transferee and require that all payments made pursuant to the Transfer shall be made directly to Landlord. 
  
 D. If Tenant is a corporation, limited liability company or similar entity,
and if at any time during the Lease Term the entity or entities who own the voting shares at the time of the execution of this Lease cease for any reason (including but not limited to merger, consolidation or other reorganization involving another
corporation) to own a majority of such shares, or if Tenant is a partnership and if at any time during the Lease Term the general partner or partners who own the general partnership interests in the partnership at the time of the execution of this
Lease, cease for any reason to own a majority of such interests (except as the result of transfers by gift, bequest or inheritance to or for the benefit of members of the immediate family of such original shareholder(s) or partner(s)), such an event
shall be deemed to be a Transfer. The preceding sentence shall not apply whenever Tenant is a corporation, the outstanding stock of which is listed on a recognized security exchange, or if at least eighty percent (80%) of its voting stock is owned
by another corporation the voting stock of which is so listed. 
  

 24 

 E. Any Transfer consented to by Landlord in accordance with this Article XIII shall be only for the
Permitted Use and for no other purpose. In no event shall any Transfer release or relieve Tenant or any Guarantors from any obligations under this Lease. 
  

	XIV. 	Liens 

  
 The interest of Landlord in the Premises shall not be subject in any way to any liens including construction liens, for improvements to or other work
performed with respect to the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant. The Tenant shall have no power or authority to create any lien or permit any lien to attach to the present estate, reversion, or other estate of Landlord in the Premises or in the
Property and all mechanics, materialmen, contractors, artisans, and other parties contracting with Tenant or its representatives or privies with respect to the Premises or any part of the Premises are hereby charged with notice that they must look
to the Tenant to secure payment of any bill for work done or material furnished or for any other purpose during the term of this Lease. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant agrees to obtain and deliver to Landlord written and
unconditional waivers of construction liens upon the Premises and the Property, for all work or materials to be furnished to the Premises at the request or direction of Tenant signed by all architects, engineers, designers, contractors,
subcontractors, materialmen, and laborers who become involved in such work. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant, at its expense, shall cause any lien filed against the Premises or the Property, for work or materials claimed to have been furnished
to Tenant, to be discharged of record or properly transferred to a bond pursuant to Section 713.24, Florida Statutes (1991), within ten (10) days after notice thereof to Tenant. If Tenant shall fail to so discharge such lien or transfer it to a bond
as required above, then, in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord may but shall not be obligated to discharge or transfer the same to a bond. Any amount paid by Landlord for any of the aforesaid purposes, including reasonable
attorneys fees (and to the extent permitted by law) shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord on demand as Additional Base Rental. Landlord shall have the right to post and keep posted on the Premises any notices that may be provided by law or which
Landlord may deem to be proper for the protection of Landlord, the Premises and the Building from such liens. Tenant shall notify every contractor making improvements to the Premises that the interest of the Landlord in the Premises shall not be
subject to liens for improvements to the Premises or for other work performed with respect to the Premises by or on behalf of Tenant. Upon request from Landlord, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver without charge a memorandum of lease or
notice in recordable form containing a confirmation that the interest of the Landlord in the Premises and Property shall not be subject to liens for improvements to the Premises or for other work performed with respect to the Premises by or on
behalf of Tenant. 
  

	XV.	Indemnity and Waiver of Claims 

  
 A. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord, its members, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, employees, Mortgagee(s) and
agents, and the respective principals and members of any such agents (collectively the “Landlord Related Parties”) harmless against and from all liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, claims, costs, charges and expenses, including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other professional fees (if and to the extent permitted by law), which may be imposed upon, incurred by, or asserted against Landlord or any of the Landlord Related Parties and arising,
directly or indirectly, out of or in connection with the use, occupancy or maintenance of the Premises by, through or under Tenant including, 

  

 25 

 
without limitation, any of the following: (1) any work or thing done in, on or about the Premises or any part thereof by Tenant or any of its transferees,
agents, servants, contractors, employees, customers, licensees or invitees; (2) any use, non-use, possession, occupation, condition, operation or maintenance of the Premises or any part thereof; (3) any act or omission of Tenant or any of its
transferees, agents, servants, contractors, employees, customers licensees or invitees, regardless of whether such act or omission occurred within the Premises; (4) any injury or damage to any person or property occurring in, on or about the
Premises or any part thereof; or (5) any failure on the part of Tenant to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements, terms or conditions contained in this Lease with which Tenant must comply or perform. In case any action or proceeding
is brought against Landlord or any of the Landlord Related Parties by reason of any of the foregoing, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, resist and defend such action or proceeding with counsel approved by Landlord or, at
Landlord’s option, reimburse Landlord for the cost of any counsel retained directly by Landlord to defend and resist such action or proceeding. 
  
 B. Landlord and the Landlord Related Parties shall not be liable for, and Tenant hereby waives, all claims for loss or damage to Tenant’s business or
damage to person or property sustained by Tenant or any person claiming by, through or under Tenant, including Tenant’s principals, agents and employees (collectively, the “Tenant Related Parties”) resulting from any accident or
occurrence in, on or about the Premises, the Building or the Property, including, without limitation, claims for loss, theft or damage resulting from: (1) the Premises, Building, or Property or any equipment or appurtenances becoming out of repair;
(2) wind or weather; (3) any defect in or failure to operate, for whatever reason, any sprinkler, heating or air-conditioning equipment, electric wiring, gas, water or steam pipes; (4) broken glass; (5) the backing up of any sewer pipe or downspout;
(6) the bursting, leaking or running of any tank, water closet, drain or other pipe; (7) the escape of steam or water; (8) water, snow or ice being upon or coming through the roof, skylight, stairs, doorways, windows, walks or any other place upon
or near the Building; (9) the falling of any fixture, plaster, tile or other material; (10) any act, omission or negligence of other tenants, licensees or any other persons or occupants of the Building or of adjoining or contiguous buildings, or
owners of adjacent or contiguous property or the public, or by construction of any private, public or quasi-public work; or (11) any other cause of any nature except, as to items 1-9, where such loss or damage is due to Landlord’s willful
failure to make repairs required to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Lease, after the expiration of a reasonable time after written notice to Landlord of the need for such repairs. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Tenant agrees to
use and occupy the Premises, and to use such other portions of the Building as Tenant is herein given the right to use, at Tenant’s own risk. 
  

	XVI. 	Tenant’s Insurance 

  
 A. At all times commencing on and after the earlier of the Commencement Date and the date Tenant or its agents, employees or contractors enters the
Premises for any purpose, Tenant shall carry and maintain, at its sole cost and expense: 
  
 1. Commercial General Liability Insurance applicable to the Premises and its appurtenances providing, on an occurrence basis, a minimum combined single limit of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00), with a contractual
liability endorsement covering Tenant’s indemnity obligations under this Lease. 
  

 26 

 2. All Risks of Property and Casualty Insurance written at replacement cost value and with a replacement
cost endorsement covering all of Tenant’s Property in the Premises. 
  
 3. Workers’ Compensation Insurance as required by the state in which the Premises is located and in amounts as may be required by applicable statute, and Employers Liability Coverage of One Million Dollars
($1,000,000.00) per occurrence. 
  
 4. Whenever good business
practice, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, indicates the need of additional insurance coverage or different types of insurance in connection with the Premises or Tenant’s use and occupancy thereof, Tenant shall, upon request, obtain such
insurance at Tenant’s expense and provide Landlord with evidence thereof. 
  
 B. Except for items for which Landlord is responsible under the Work Letter Agreement, before any repairs, alterations, additions, improvements, or construction are undertaken by or on behalf of Tenant, Tenant shall
carry and maintain, at its expense, or Tenant shall require any contractor performing work on the Premises to carry and maintain, at no expense to Landlord, in addition to Workers’ Compensation Insurance as required by the jurisdiction in which
the Building is located, All Risk Builder’s Risk Insurance in the amount of the replacement cost of any alterations, additions or improvements (or such other amount reasonably required by Landlord) and Commercial General Liability Insurance
(including, without limitation, Contractor’s Liability coverage, Contractual Liability coverage and Completed Operations coverage) written on an occurrence basis with a minimum combined single limit of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) and
adding “the named Landlord hereunder (or any successor thereto), Osprey S.A. Ltd., a Florida limited partnership, and their respective members, principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, employees, agents and any
Mortgagee(s)”, and other designees of Landlord as the interest of such designees shall appear, as additional insureds (collectively referred to as the “Additional Insureds”). 
  
 C. Any company writing any insurance which Tenant is required to maintain or
cause to be maintained pursuant to the terms of this Lease (all such insurance as well as any other insurance pertaining to the Premises or the operation of Tenant’s business therein being referred to as “Tenant’s Insurance”), as
well as the form of such insurance, shall at all times be subject to Landlord’s reasonable approval, and each such insurance company shall have an A Best rating of “A” or better and shall be licensed and qualified to do business in
the state in which the Premises is located. All policies evidencing Tenant’s Insurance (except for Workers’ Compensation Insurance) shall specify Tenant as named insured and the Additional Insureds as additional insureds. Provided that the
coverage afforded Landlord and any designees of Landlord shall not be reduced or otherwise adversely affected, all of Tenant’s Insurance may be carried under a blanket 

  

 27 

 
policy covering the Premises and any other of Tenant’s locations. All policies of Tenant’s Insurance shall contain endorsements that the insurer(s)
will give to Landlord and its designees at least thirty (30) days’ advance written notice of any change, cancellation, termination or lapse of said insurance. Tenant shall be solely responsible for payment of premiums for all of Tenant’s
Insurance. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord at least fifteen (15) days prior to the time Tenant’s Insurance is first required to be carried by Tenant, and upon renewals at least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of any such insurance
coverage, a certificate of insurance of all policies procured by Tenant in compliance with its obligations under this Lease. The limits of Tenant’s Insurance shall in no event limit Tenant’s liability under this Lease. 
  
 D. Tenant shall not do or fail to do anything in, upon or about the Premises
which will: (1) violate the terms of any of Landlord’s insurance policies; (2) prevent Landlord from obtaining policies of insurance acceptable to Landlord or any Mortgagees; or (3) result in an increase in the rate of any insurance on the
Premises, the Building, any other property of Landlord or of others within the Building. In the event of the occurrence of any of the events set forth in this Section, Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand, as Additional Base Rental, the cost of the
amount of any increase in any such insurance premium, provided that the acceptance by Landlord of such payment shall not be construed to be a waiver of any rights by Landlord in connection with a default by Tenant under the Lease. If Tenant fails to
obtain the insurance coverage required by this Lease, Landlord may, at its option, obtain such insurance for Tenant, and Tenant shall pay, as Additional Base Rental, the cost of all premiums thereon and all of Landlord’s costs associated
therewith. 
  

	XVII. 	Subrogation 

  
 Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord and Tenant do hereby waive any and all right of recovery, claim, action or
cause of action against the other, their respective principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers, directors, agents, and employees, and, with respect to Landlord, its Mortgagee(s), for any loss or damage that may occur to Landlord or Tenant or any
party claiming by, through or under Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be, with respect to their respective property, the Building, the Property or the Premises or any addition or improvements thereto, or any contents therein, by reason of fire,
the elements, or any other cause, regardless of cause or origin, including the negligence of Landlord or Tenant, or their respective principals, beneficiaries, partners, officers directors, agents and employees and, with respect to Landlord, its
Mortgagee(s), which loss or damage is (or would have been, had the insurance required by this Lease been carried) covered by insurance. Since this mutual waiver will preclude the assignment of any such claim by subrogation (or otherwise) to an
insurance company (or any other person), Landlord and Tenant each agree to give each insurance company which has issued, or in the future may issue, policies of insurance, with respect to the items covered by this waiver, written notice of the terms
of this mutual waiver, and to have such insurance policies properly endorsed, if necessary, to prevent the invalidation of any of the coverage provided by such insurance policies by reason of such mutual waiver. For the purpose of the foregoing
waiver, the amount of any deductible applicable to any loss or damage shall be deemed covered by, and recoverable by the insured under the insurance policy to which such deductible relates. In the event that Tenant is permitted to and self-insures
any risk which would have been covered by the insurance required to be carried by Tenant 

  

 28 

 
pursuant to Article XVI of the Lease, or if Tenant fails to carry any insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to Article XVI of this Lease, then
all loss or damage to Tenant, its leasehold interest, its business, its property, the Premises or any additions or improvements thereto or contents thereof shall be deemed covered by and recoverable by Tenant under valid and collectible policies of
insurance. 
  

	XVIII. 	Landlord’s Insurance 

  
 Landlord shall maintain property insurance on the Building in such amounts as Landlord reasonably elects. The cost of such insurance shall be included as
a part of the Basic Costs, and payments for losses and recoveries thereunder shall be made solely to Landlord or the Mortgagees of Landlord as their interests shall appear. 
  

	XIX.	 Casualty Damage 

  
 If the Premises or any part thereof shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give prompt written notice thereof to Landlord. In case the
Building shall be so damaged that in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, substantial alteration or reconstruction of the Building shall be required (whether or not the Premises has been damaged by such casualty) or in the event Landlord will not be
permitted by applicable law to rebuild the Building in substantially the same form as existed prior to the fire or casualty or in the event the Premises has been materially damaged and there is less than two (2) years of the Lease Term remaining on
the date of such casualty or in the event any Mortgagee should require that the insurance proceeds payable as a result of a casualty be applied to the payment of the mortgage debt or in the event of any material uninsured loss to the Building,
Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease by notifying Tenant in writing of such termination within ninety (90) days after the date of such casualty. Such termination shall be effective as of the date of fire or casualty, with respect to any
portion of the Premises that was rendered untenantable, and the effective date of termination specified in Landlord’s notice, with respect to any portion of the Premises that remained tenantable. If Landlord does not elect to terminate this
Lease, Landlord shall commence and proceed with reasonable diligence to restore the Building (provided that Landlord shall not be required to restore any unleased premises in the Building) and the Leasehold Improvements (but excluding any
improvements, alterations or additions made by Tenant in violation of this Lease) located within the Premises, if any, which Landlord has insured to substantially the same condition they were in immediately prior to the happening of the casualty.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord’s obligation to restore the Building, and the Leasehold Improvements, if any shall not require Landlord to expend for such repair and restoration work more than the insurance proceeds actually received by
the Landlord as a result of the casualty. When repairs to the Premises have been completed by Landlord, Tenant shall complete the restoration or replacement of all Tenant’s Property necessary to permit Tenant’s reoccupancy of the Premises,
and Tenant shall present Landlord with evidence satisfactory to Landlord of Tenant’s ability to pay such costs prior to Landlord’s commencement of repair and restoration of the Premises. Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience
or annoyance to Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof, except that, subject to the provisions of the next sentence, Landlord shall allow Tenant a fair diminution of Rent on a per diem
basis during the time and to the extent any damage to the Premises causes the Premises to be rendered untenantable and not used by Tenant. If the Premises or any other portion of the Building is damaged by fire or other casualty resulting from the
negligence of Tenant or any Tenant Related Parties, the Rent hereunder shall not be diminished during any period during which the Premises, or any portion thereof, is untenantable 

  

 29 

 
(except to the extent Landlord is entitled to be reimbursed by the proceeds of any rental interruption insurance), and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for
the cost of the repair and restoration of the Building caused thereby to the extent such cost and expense is not covered by insurance proceeds. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive the provisions of any law from time to time in effect during the Lease
Term relating to the effect upon leases of partial or total destruction of leased property. Landlord and Tenant agree that their respective rights in the event of any damage to or destruction of the Premises shall be those specifically set forth
herein. 
  

	XX.	Demolition 

  
 Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease if Landlord proposes or is required, for any reason, to substantially remodel, remove, or demolish
the Building or any substantial portion thereof. Such cancellation shall be exercised by Landlord by the service of not less than one hundred eighty (180) days’ written notice of such termination. Such notice shall set forth the date upon which
the termination will be effective. No money or other consideration shall be payable by Landlord to Tenant for Landlord’s exercise of this right, and the right is hereby reserved to Landlord and all purchasers, successors, assigns, transferees,
and ground tenants of Landlord, as the case may be, and is in addition to all other rights of Landlord. Tenant has read the foregoing and understands that Landlord has a right to terminate this Lease as provided above. 
  

	XXI.	Condemnation 

  
 If (a) the whole or any substantial part of the Premises or (b) any portion of the Building or Property which would leave the remainder of the Building
unsuitable for use as an office building comparable to its use on the Commencement Date, shall be taken or condemned for any public or quasi-public use under governmental law, ordinance or regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by private
purchase in lieu thereof, then Landlord may, at its option, terminate this Lease effective as of the date the physical taking of said Premises or said portion of the Building or Property shall occur. In the event this Lease is not terminated, the
Rentable Area of the Building, the Rentable Area of the Premises and Tenant’s Pro Rata Share shall be appropriately adjusted. In addition, Rent for any portion of the Premises so taken or condemned shall be abated during the unexpired term of
this Lease effective when the physical taking of said portion of the Premises shall occur. All compensation awarded for any such taking or condemnation, or sale proceeds in lieu thereof, shall be the property of Landlord, and Tenant shall have no
claim thereto the same being hereby expressly waived by Tenant except for any portions of such award or proceeds which are specifically allocated by the condemning or purchasing party for the taking of or damage to trade fixtures of Tenant, which
Tenant specifically reserves to itself. 
  

	XXII. 	Events of Default 

  
 The following events shall be deemed to be events of default under this Lease: 
  
 A. Tenant shall fail to pay when due, without notice or demand, any Base Rental, Additional Base Rental or other Rent under
this Lease (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a “Monetary Default”). 
  

 30 

 B. Any failure by Tenant (other than a Monetary Default) to comply with any term, provision or covenant
of this Lease, including, without limitation, the rules and regulations, which failure is not cured within ten (10) days after delivery to Tenant of notice of the occurrence of such failure, provided that if any such failure creates a hazardous
condition, such failure must be cured immediately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant fails to comply with any particular provision or covenant of this Lease, including, without limitation, Tenant’s obligation to pay Rent when due, on
three (3) occasions during any twelve (12) month period, any subsequent violation of such provision or covenant shall be considered to be an incurable default by Tenant. 
  
 C. Tenant shall become insolvent, or shall make a transfer in fraud of creditors, or shall commit an act of bankruptcy or
shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or Tenant shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due. 
  
 D. Tenant shall file a petition under any section or chapter of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, pertaining to bankruptcy, or under any
similar law or statute of the United States or any State thereof, or Tenant shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent in proceedings filed against Tenant thereunder, or a petition or answer proposing the adjudication of Tenant as a debtor or its
reorganization under any present or future federal or state bankruptcy or similar law shall be filed in any court and such petition or answer shall not be discharged or denied within sixty (60) days after the filing thereof. 
  
 E. A receiver or trustee shall be appointed for all or substantially all of
the assets of Tenant or of the Premises or of any of Tenant’s Property located thereon in any proceeding brought by Tenant or any such receiver or trustee shall be appointed in any proceeding brought against Tenant and shall not be discharged
within sixty (60) days after such appointment or Tenant shall consent to or acquiesce in such appointment. 
  
 F. The leasehold estate hereunder shall be taken on execution or other process of law or equity in any action against Tenant. 
  
 G. Tenant shall abandon or vacate any substantial portion of the Premises
without the prior written consent of Landlord. 
  
 H. Tenant
shall fail to take possession of and occupy the Premises within thirty (30) days following the Commencement Date. 
  
 I. The liquidation, termination, dissolution, or forfeiture of right to do business, of Tenant. 
  
 J. Tenant is in default beyond any notice and cure period under any other
lease with Landlord. 
  

 31 

	XXIII. 	Remedies 

  
 A. Upon the occurrence of any event or events of default under this Lease Landlord shall have the option to pursue any one or more of the following
remedies without any notice (except as expressly prescribed in Article XXII above) or demand whatsoever (and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant hereby specifically waives notice and demand for payment of Rent or other
obligations due (except as expressly prescribed in Article XXII above) and waives any and all other notices or demand requirements imposed by applicable law): 
  

1. Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon
termination of the Lease hereunder, Landlord may without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying said Premises, or any part
thereof, and Tenant hereby agrees to pay to Landlord on demand the amount of all loss and damage, including consequential damage, which Landlord may suffer by reason of such termination, whether through inability to relet the Premises on
satisfactory terms or otherwise specifically including but not limited to all Costs of Reletting (hereinafter defined) and any deficiency that may arise by reason of any reletting or failure to relet, including the payment of any past due rents.

  
 2. Enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel
or remove Tenant or any other person who may be occupying said Premises, or any part thereof, without having any civil or criminal liability therefor and without terminating this Lease. Landlord may (but shall be under no obligation to) relet the
Premises or any part thereof for the account of Tenant in the name of Tenant or Landlord or otherwise without notice to Tenant for such term or terms which may be greater or less than the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of
the Lease Term and on such conditions (which may include concessions, free rent and alterations of the Premises) and for such uses as Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion may determine, and Landlord may collect and receive any rents payable
by reason of such reletting. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord on demand all past due rents, all Costs of Reletting and any deficiency that may arise by reason of such reletting or failure to relet. Landlord shall not be under any obligation to and
shall not be responsible or liable for any failure to relet the Premises or any part thereof or for any failure to collect any Rent due upon any such reletting. No such re-entry or taking of possession of the Premises by Landlord shall be construed
as an election on Landlord’s part to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such termination is given to Tenant. 
  
 3. Enter upon the Premises without having any civil or criminal liability therefor, and do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of this
Lease, and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord on demand for any 

  

 32 

 
expense which Landlord may incur in thus affecting compliance with Tenants obligations under this Lease together with interest at the lesser of a per annum

 E. This Article XXIII shall be enforceable to the maximum extent such
enforcement is not prohibited by applicable law, and the unenforceability of any portion thereof shall not thereby render unenforceable any other portion. 
  

	XXIV. 	Limitation of Liability 

  
 NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS LEASE, THE LIABILITY OF LANDLORD (AND OF ANY SUCCESSOR LANDLORD HEREUNDER) TO TENANT SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE

 Failure of Landlord to declare any default immediately upon its occurrence, or delay in taking any action in connection with an event of default shall not
constitute a waiver of such default, nor shall it constitute an estoppel against Landlord, but Landlord shall have the right to declare the default at any time and take such action as is lawful or authorized under this Lease. Failure by Landlord to
enforce its rights with respect to any one default shall not constitute a waiver of its rights with respect to any subsequent default. Receipt by Landlord of Tenant’s keys to the Premises shall not constitute an acceptance or surrender of the
Premises. 
  

	XXVI. 	Event of Bankruptcy 

  
 In addition to, and in no way limiting the other remedies set forth herein, Landlord and Tenant agree that if Tenant ever becomes the subject of a
voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, reorganization, composition, or other similar type proceeding under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now enacted or hereinafter amended, then:

363 (or their successor sections) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Section 101 et seq., (such Bankruptcy Code as amended from time to time being herein referred to as the “Bankruptcy Code”), prior to assumption and/or assignment of the
Lease by Tenant shall include, but not be limited to all (or any part) of the following: 
  
 a) the continued payment by Tenant of the Base Rental and all other Rent due and owing hereunder and the performance of all other covenants and obligations hereunder by Tenant; and

date of such assignment. Any such assignee shall, upon demand by Landlord, execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument confirming such assumption of liability. 
  
 4. Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, all amounts payable by Tenant to or on behalf of the Landlord
under this Lease, whether or not expressly denominated as “Rent,” shall constitute “rent” for the purposes of Section 502(b) (6) of the Bankruptcy Code (or successor section).

provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, any and all monies or other considerations payable or otherwise to be delivered to Landlord (including Base Rentals and other Rent hereunder), shall be and remain the exclusive property of Landlord and shall not
constitute property of Tenant or of the bankruptcy estate of Tenant. Any and all monies or other considerations constituting Landlord’s property under the preceding sentence not paid or delivered to Landlord shall be held in trust by Tenant or
Tenants bankruptcy estate for the benefit of Landlord and shall be promptly paid to or turned over to Landlord.

made a bona fide offer to accept an assignment of this Lease on terms acceptable to the Tenant, then notice of such proposed 

  

 35 

 
offer/assignment setting forth: (1) the name and address of such person or entity, (2) all of the terms and conditions of such offer and (3) the adequate
assurance to be provided Landlord to assure such person’s or entity’s future performance under the Lease, shall be given to Landlord by Tenant no later than twenty (20) days after receipt by Tenant, but in any event no later than ten (10)
days prior to the date that Tenant shall make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for authority and approval to enter into such assumption and assignment, and Landlord shall thereupon have the prior right and option, to be exercised by
notice to Tenant given at any time prior to the effective date of such proposed assignment, to accept an assignment of this Lease upon the same terms and conditions and for the same consideration, if any, as the bona fide offer made by such persons
or entity, less any brokerage commission which may be payable out of the consideration to be paid by such person for the assignment of this Lease. 
  
 7. To the extent permitted by law, Landlord and Tenant agree that this Lease is a contract under which applicable law excuses Landlord from accepting
performance from (or rendering performance to) any person or entity other than Tenant within the meaning of Sections 365(c) and 365(e) (2) of the Bankruptcy Code (or their successor sections).

 Landlord, at its expense at any time before or during the Lease Term, shall be entitled to cause Tenant to relocate from the Premises to space containing
approximately the same Rentable Area as the Premises (the “Relocation Space”) within the Building upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to Tenant. Such a relocation shall not affect this Lease except that from and after the date
of such relocation, “Premises” shall refer to the Relocation Space into which Tenant has been moved, rather than the original Premises as herein defined, and the Base Rental shall be adjusted so that immediately following such relocation
the Base Rental for the Relocation Space per annum on a per square foot of Rentable Area basis shall be the same as the Base Rental per annum immediately prior to such relocation for the original Premises on a per square foot of Rentable Area basis.
Tenant’s Pro Rata Share shall also be adjusted in accordance with the formula set forth in this Lease. 
  

 36 

	XXIX. 	Holding Over 

  
 In the event of holding over by Tenant after expiration or other termination of this Lease or in the event Tenant continues to occupy the Premises after
the termination of Tenant’s right of possession pursuant to Articles XXII and XXIII hereof, occupancy of the Premises subsequent to such termination or expiration shall be that of a tenancy at sufferance and in no event for month-to-month or
year-to-year. Tenant shall, throughout the entire holdover period, be subject to all the terms and provisions of this Lease and shall pay for its use and occupancy an amount (on a per month basis without reduction for any partial months during any

than the fair market rental for the Premises. No holding over by Tenant or payments of money by Tenant to Landlord after the expiration of the term of this Lease shall be construed to extend the Lease Term or prevent Landlord from recovery of
immediate possession of the Premises by summary proceedings or otherwise. In addition to the obligation to pay the amounts set forth above during any such holdover period, Tenant also shall be liable to Landlord for all damage, including any
consequential damage, which Landlord may suffer by reason of any holding over by Tenant, and Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against any and all claims made by any other tenant or prospective tenant against Landlord for delay by Landlord in

person or entity having the benefit of same being referred to hereinafter as a “Mortgagee”), but Tenant agrees that any such Mortgagee shall have the right at any time to subordinate such Mortgage to this Lease on such terms and subject to
such conditions as such Mortgagee may deem appropriate in its discretion. This clause shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required. However, Landlord is hereby irrevocably vested with full power and authority

conditions of this Lease, or should Landlord intervene in any suit in which the Tenant is a party to enforce or protect Landlord’s interest or rights hereunder, if Landlord is a prevailing party in any such action or suit Landlord shall be
entitled to all of its costs, expenses and reasonable fees of its attomey(s) in connection therewith.
