when and to whom Awards will be granted, and the form, amount and other terms and conditions of each Award, subject 

 to the provisions of this Plan. The Committee shall have the authority to interpret this
Plan and any Award made under this Plan, to establish, amend, waive and rescind any rules and regulations relating to the administration of this Plan, and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of this Plan.
The Committee may correct any defect, supply any omission or reconcile any inconsistency in this Plan or in any Award in the manner and to the extent it shall deem desirable. The determinations of the Committee in the administration of this Plan, as
described herein, shall be final, binding and conclusive, subject to the provisions of this Plan. A majority of the members of the Committee shall constitute a quorum for any meeting of the Committee. 

3.2 Delegation. The Committee may delegate to the Chief Executive Officer and the Vice President of Human Resources

4. Awards.  
 4.1 Eligibility Criteria. Within the lesser of the first ninety (90) days or the first twenty-five percent (25%) of the Performance Period, the Committee may select such Eligible
Employees as it deems appropriate to participate in the Plan. Criteria that the Committee will consider when selecting Eligible Employees for participation include scope and level of responsibility, organizational impact, internal equity and
external competitiveness. Awards for Eligible Employees who work less than full-time will be prorated accordingly. 
 4.2 Allocation of Awards. Eligible Employees selected to participate will be entitled to receive an award of bonus compensation based on the attainment of performance targets selected by the
Committee and consisting of one or any combination of two or more of net revenue; stock price; market share; sales; earnings per share; return on equity; costs; operating income; net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and/or amortization;
net income before or after extraordinary items; return on operating assets or levels of cost savings; earnings before taxes; net earnings; asset turnover; total shareholder return; pre-tax, pre-interest expense return on invested capital; return on
incremental invested capital; free cash flow; cash flow from operations; customer satisfaction (i.e., learner satisfaction) or learner success, each as measured objectively. As appropriate, any such targets may be expressed in absolute amounts, on a
per share basis, as a change from preceding Performance Periods; or relative to a designated peer group or index of comparable companies. Subject to applicable regulatory restrictions, such targets may also relate to one or any combination of two or
more of corporate (including such direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company as the Committee may determine or on such consolidated basis as the Committee may determine), group, unit, division, affiliate or individual performance. In addition,
with respect to an Award, or portion of an Award, that is not intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation, performance targets may include any other measures determined by the Committee. 

4.3 Maximum Amount of Awards. No Covered Employee shall be entitled to receive Awards that exceed $8 million for
any calendar year. 
 4.4 Adjustments. At any time during the Performance Period, the Committee may amend
the targets for a Performance Period to reflect material adjustments in or changes to the Company’s policies, to reflect material Company changes such as mergers or acquisitions, and to reflect such other events having a material impact on the
targets, provided that no such adjustment shall be made to an Award intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation if the effect of such adjustment would be to cause the Award to fail to

  
 2 

 
qualify as Performance-Based Compensation. The Committee is authorized at any time during or after a Performance Period, in its sole and absolute discretion, to reduce or eliminate an Award
payable to any Participant for any reason, including a Participant’s failure to perform his/her day-to-day job in a satisfactory manner after the Company has provided reasonable notice of such failure, or changes in the position or duties of
any Participant with the Company or any subsidiary of the Company during the Performance Period, whether due to any termination of employment (including death, Disability, Retirement, or termination with or without cause) or otherwise. No reduction
in an Award made to any Participant shall increase the amount of the Award to any other Participant. 
 4.5
Payment of Awards. Following the completion of each Performance Period, the Committee shall certify in writing the degree to which the performance targets were attained and the Awards payable to Participants. Each Participant shall receive
payment in cash of the Award as soon as practicable following the determination in respect thereof made pursuant to this Section 4.5, provided that payment shall be made no later than two and a half months after the Performance Period.

 5. Effective Date of the Plan. The Plan is effective on February 23, 2011, subject to approval and ratification
by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company present or represented and entitled to vote in person or by proxy on this matter at the Company’s 2011 annual meeting of shareholders.
The Plan shall remain in effect until it has been terminated pursuant to Section 9. 
 6. Termination of Employment.
Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon any Participant the right to continue in the employment of the Company or any subsidiary or affect any right which the Company or any subsidiary may have to terminate the employment of a Participant with or
without cause. In the event any Participant ceases to be an employee for any reason other than Disability or Retirement during any Performance Period in which he/she is participating in the Plan or prior to payment of an Award for a Performance
Period, he/she will not be eligible to receive any payment under an Award for such Performance Period unless otherwise provided for in the Company’s Senior Executive Severance Plan or Executive Severance Plan, as applicable and as
in effect from time to time, in which case the payment of any Award shall be determined, adjusted and made in accordance with the Company’s Senior Executive Severance Plan or Executive Severance Plan, as applicable. Participants
whose employment terminates due to Disability or Retirement during the Performance Period will be eligible to receive a prorated portion (based on the number of days during the Performance Period when the Participant was employed, divided by the
total number of days in the Performance Period) of any payment under the Award, if earned, when payments are made to other Participants under the Plan. 
 7. New Hires; Promotions. New hires must commence employment as an Eligible Employee no later than seventy-five percent (75%) of the period covering the Performance Period to be eligible to be
considered a Participant for that Performance Period, and individual Awards for the Performance Period will be prorated from the date of hire. Employees must be promoted to being an Eligible Employee no later than seventy-five percent (75%) of
the period covering Performance Period to be eligible to be considered a Participant in the Plan during that Performance Period, and individual Awards for the Performance Period will be prorated from the date of promotion. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Award that is intended to qualify as Performance-Based Compensation shall be made to any new hire or promoted Eligible Employee unless expressly approved by the Committee in accordance with the requirements of Section 162(m) of
the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. 
 8. Tax Withholding. The Company shall have the right to withhold
from cash payments under the Plan to a Participant or other person an amount sufficient to cover any required withholding taxes. 
 9. Amendment, Modification and Termination of the Plan. The Board may at any time terminate, suspend or modify the Plan and the terms and provisions of any Award to any Participant which has not
been paid. Amendments are subject to approval of the shareholders of the Company only if such approval is necessary to maintain the Plan in compliance with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code, its successor provisions or any other
applicable law or regulation. No Award may be granted during any suspension of the Plan or after its termination. 

  
 3 

 10. Unfunded Plan. The Plan shall be unfunded, and the Company shall not be required
to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by Awards under the Plan. No Participant shall, by virtue of this Plan, have any interest in any specific assets of the Company or any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries. 

11. Other Benefit and Compensation Programs. Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board nor its submission to the shareholders
of the Company shall be construed as creating any limitation on the power of the Board to adopt such other incentive arrangements as it may deem appropriate. Payments received by a Participant under an Award made pursuant to the Plan shall not be
deemed a part of a Participant’s regular recurring compensation for purposes of the termination, indemnity or severance pay law of any state and shall not be included in, nor have any effect on, the determination of benefits under any other
employee benefit plan, contract or similar arrangement provided by the Company or any subsidiary unless expressly so provided by such other plan, contract or arrangement, or unless the Committee expressly determines otherwise. 

12. Governing Law. To the extent that Federal laws do not otherwise control, the Plan and all determinations made and actions
taken pursuant to the Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota and construed accordingly.

 4Fifth Amendment to Lease

 Exhibit 10.2 
 FIFTH AMENDMENT TO LEASE 
 THIS FIFTH AMENDMENT TO LEASE (the
“Amendment”) is made and entered into as of the             day of             , 2011, by and between
MINNEAPOLIS 225 HOLDINGS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Landlord”), and CAPELLA EDUCATION COMPANY, a Minnesota corporation (“Tenant”). 

Recitals and Preliminary Statement of Facts: 

A. Landlord (as successor in interest to 601 Second Avenue Limited Partnership) and Tenant are parties to that
certain Office Lease dated February 23, 2004 (the “Original Lease”), which Original Lease was amended by instruments dated May 16, 2006 (the “First Amendment”), March 17, 2008 (the “Second
Amendment”), June 10, 2009 (the “Third Amendment”) and June 25, 2010 (the “Fourth Amendment”; the Original Lease as amended by the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Third Amendment and
the Fourth Amendment, hereinafter collectively, the “Lease”). Pursuant to the Lease, Tenant currently leases from Landlord approximately 426,165 square feet of Rentable Area of office space (the “Current Premises”)
on the 5th through 11th floors, inclusive, in the building commonly known as the Park
Building and defined herein as the “Building”, and on the 4th through 11th
floors, inclusive, and on the 15th floor, in the building
commonly known as Capella Tower and defined herein as the “Tower”, all of the foregoing located at 225 South Sixth Street, Minneapolis, Minnesota (the “Project”). 

B. Pursuant to the terms of the Fourth Amendment, on or before August 1, 2011, Landlord was to deliver
possession to Tenant of an additional 55,020 square feet of Rentable Area on the 12th floor of each of the Building and the Tower (defined in the Fourth Amendment and herein as the “Twelfth Floor Expansion Space”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant has determined that
it no longer desires to lease the Twelfth Floor Expansion Space and, with respect to the Twelfth Floor Expansion Space only, the parties hereto are willing to declare the terms and provisions of the Fourth Amendment null and void except as expressly
set forth in this Amendment. 
 C. The Lease by its terms will expire on October 31, 2015, and the parties desire to extend
the Term of the Lease with respect to the Current Premises (defined below) and otherwise amend the Lease subject to the following terms and conditions. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
Landlord and Tenant agree as follows: 

  
 1 

 Covenants: 
 1. Relinquishment of Rights with Respect to Twelfth Floor Expansion Space; Fourth Amendment Applicable Improvement Allowance. 

1.1 The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that with respect to the Twelfth Floor Expansion Space only, the terms and provisions of the
Fourth Amendment are null and void and of no further force or effect, including without limitation, any and all rights of Tenant to the Fourth Amendment Applicable Improvement Allowance (as defined in Section 2 of the Fourth Amendment) that was
allocable to the Twelfth Floor Expansion Space. 
 1.2 Tenant shall have no obligation to repay to Landlord (a) that portion
of the Fourth Amendment Applicable Improvement Allowance in the amount of $294,022.01 that was allocable to the Twelfth Floor Expansion Space but which was tendered to Tenant in connection with Fourth Floor Expansion Space (as defined in
Section 2 of the Fourth Amendment) pursuant to Section 7 of the Fourth Amendment, or (b) the portion of the commissions paid to the Amendment Brokers (as defined in Section 13 of the Fourth Amendment) and allocable to the Twelfth
Floor Expansion Space. 
 1.3 Landlord acknowledges that carpeting was purchased with some of the Fourth Amendment Applicable
Improvement Allowance and that some of such carpeting that has not been installed in the Current Premises is being stored for future use at Target Commercial Interiors. Such carpeting shall be installed by Tenant in accordance with Section 12
of the Original Lease during the New Term or any extension thereof, either in the Current Premises or in any future expansion space belonging to Tenant in the Building or the Tower. 

2. Extension of Lease Term. With respect to the Current Premises (for purposes of the Lease, the “Premises”), the
Term of the Lease is hereby extended for a period of three (3) years beginning on November 1, 2015, and ending on October 31, 2018 (the “New Term”). Any reference to “Term” in the Lease or in any Exhibit
thereto shall mean the Term as extended by the New Term, and as the Term of the Lease may be further extended or renewed pursuant to Exhibit G (as amended pursuant to Section 7 below). 

3. “As Is” Condition. Tenant acknowledges that it is in possession of the Current Premises and agrees to accept the same
in its “as is” condition. Tenant further acknowledges that Landlord shall not be obligated to make any improvements to any of the Current Premises and that Tenant shall not be entitled to any construction, build-out or other allowance with
respect thereto, except as otherwise provided in Section 4 of this Amendment. 
 4. Improvement Allowance.

 4.1 To help pay for those costs which are incurred by Tenant in designing and constructing those improvements which Tenant
desires to make to the Office Premises (the “Office Premises Improvements”), on or after July 1, 2014, but upon no less than ninety (90) days prior written notice by Tenant to Landlord, Landlord shall make available to
Tenant an “Office Premises Improvement Allowance” in the amount of Two Dollars ($2.00) per square 

  
 2 

 
foot of the Rentable Area of the Office Premises. “Office Premises” means the Current Premises but excluding the 15th Floor Expansion Space (as defined in Section 2 of the Third Amendment), and as of the date of this Amendment is
deemed to be 425,032 square feet of Rentable Area. Landlord shall disburse the Office Premises Improvement Allowance on a monthly basis in accordance with customary construction disbursement procedures and upon receipt of a sworn construction
statement and draw request, with supporting invoices for actual costs incurred and lien waivers from all material contractors and subcontractors delivered one month in arrears; it being agreed, however, that Landlord shall not be required to
disburse any portion of the Office Premises Improvement Allowance if Tenant is then in default of its obligations under the Lease. If the actual cost of the Office Premises Improvements exceeds the amount of the Office Premises Improvement
Allowance, Tenant shall pay the excess costs without reimbursement from Landlord as and when such excess costs become due and payable. If Tenant has not submitted requisitions covering all of the Office Premises Improvement Allowance on or before
June 30, 2015 (the “Office Premises Improvement Allowance Expiration Date”), then any portion of the Office Premises Improvement Allowance that is unutilized as of the Office Premises Improvement Allowance Expiration Date shall
be applied as a credit against the next installments of Rent due under the Lease. Landlord shall be permitted to offset against any Office Premises Improvement Allowance any amounts past due to Landlord by Tenant under the Lease. 

4.2 The Office Premises Improvement Allowance shall be treated by Landlord and Tenant as a tenant improvement allowance and all of the
leasehold improvements that are constructed and paid for with the Office Premises Improvement Allowance shall be owned by Landlord. When Tenant submits a draw request and other supporting materials to Landlord requesting an advance of funds under
the Office Premises Improvement Allowance (each, an “Advance”), Tenant shall in writing advise Landlord whether the check (or checks) in the amount of the requested Advance should be payable to Tenant and/or to one or more of
Tenant’s contractors. If Tenant requests that a check for any Advance be made payable to any of Tenant’s contractors, Landlord shall nonetheless deliver such check to Tenant, so that Tenant may deliver the check to the relevant contractor.
Promptly following disbursement in full of any Office Premises Improvement Allowance, Tenant will submit to Landlord a statement indentifying the categories of work with respect to which the Office Premises Improvement Allowance was disbursed,
allocating to one or more of such categories of work amounts (in the aggregate) equal to the total of the Advances made by Landlord under the Office Premises Improvement Allowance. Landlord will execute and return such statement within twenty
(20) days after submission by Tenant. If Landlord fails to execute and return such statement and allocation to Tenant within said twenty (20) day period, Landlord shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed with such statement. If Landlord
fails to pay any portion of the Office Premises Improvement Allowance which is properly due and payable, the unpaid amount shall bear interest until paid at the Interest Rate, and if Landlord fails to pay such properly due and payable amount within
ten (10) business days after receiving written notice from Tenant that such amount was not paid when due, then Tenant shall be entitled to offset said amounts (including interest) against Rent due and payable under the Lease. 

4.3 Any Office Premises Improvements that Tenant elects to make shall be completed in accordance with Sections 9 and 10 of the Second
Amendment and the remainder of 

  
 3 

 
the Lease, except that Ted Campbell is hereby designated as Landlord’s Designated Representative and Liz Wong is hereby designated as Tenant’s Designated Representative. 

5. Base Rent. 
 5.1 During the New Term, Tenant shall pay as monthly “Base Rent” for the Office Premises one-twelfth of the product of: 
 (a) Fourteen and 95/100 Dollars ($14.95) times the number of square feet of the Rentable Area of the Office Premises for the period beginning on November 1, 2015 and ending on October 31, 2016;

 (b) Fifteen and 32/100 Dollars ($15.32) times the number of square feet of the Rentable Area of the Office Premises for the
period beginning on November 1, 2016 and ending on October 31, 2017; 
 (c) Fifteen and 71/100 Dollars ($15.71) times
the number of square feet of the Rentable Area of the Office Premises for the period beginning on November 1, 2017 and ending on October 31, 2018. 
 5.2 During the New Term, Tenant shall pay as monthly “Base Rent” for the 15th Floor Expansion Space one-twelfth of the product of Eight and 00/100 Dollars ($8.00) times the number of square feet
of the Rentable Area of the 15th Floor Expansion Space.
Further, the parties acknowledge and agree that the phrase “Lease Term” in the second sentence of Section 5 of the Third Amendment shall be deemed to mean the phrase “New Term,” and that the date “November 1, 2015”
in such second sentence shall instead be “November 1, 2018.” 
 6. Tenant’s Additional
Rent. Tenant shall remain obligated to pay Tenant’s Additional Rent for the Office Premises throughout the New Term. Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Tenant’s Additional Rent for the 15th Floor Expansion Space throughout the New Term, but the terms and
provisions of Section 7 of the Third Amendment with respect to utilities and additional services provided to the
15th Floor Expansion Space shall remain in full force and
effect. 
 7. Extension Options. Landlord and Tenant agree that, effective as of the date of this Amendment, both of
Tenant’s extension options set forth in Section 15 and Exhibit G to the Second Amendment shall remain in full force and effect except that Exhibit G is revised as follows: 

(a) any reference therein to the “First Extension Term” shall be deemed to be the “New Term”; 

(b) Section 5(a)(i) through (iv), inclusive, is amended and restated as follows: 

  
 4 

 “(i) 104% of the Blended Annual Base Rate (as defined below) times the number of
square feet of the Rentable Area of the Premises for the period beginning on November 1, 2018, and ending on October 31, 2019 (the “First Year Base Rent”); 
 (ii) 104% of the First Year Base Rent (as defined above) times the number of square feet of the Rentable Area of the Premises for the period beginning on November 1, 2019, and ending on
October 31, 2020 (the “Second Year Base Rent”); 
 (iii) 104% of the Second Year Base Rent (as defined above)
times the number of square feet of the Rentable Area of the Premises for the period beginning on November 1, 2020, and ending on April 30, 2021; and 
 (iv) an amount equal to ninety five percent (95%) of the annual Market Base Rental Rate (as defined below) times the number of square feet of the Rentable Area of the Premises for the period
beginning on May 1, 2021, and ending on October 31, 2023; and” 
 (c) The date “October 31, 2020” shall
replace the date “October 31, 2017” in both places in Section 5(b); and 
 (d) The date “October 31,
2018” shall replace the date “October 31, 2015” in the last grammatical paragraph of Section 5. 
 8.
Additional Generator. The terms and provisions of Section 19 of the Second Amendment with respect to Tenant’s Additional Emergency Generator Equipment are deemed null and void and of no further force or effect. 

9. Expansion Option. Exhibit I to the Fourth Amendment (entitled Expansion Option) is hereby deleted and replaced in its
entirety with Exhibit I, which is attached to this Amendment. 
 10. Right of Offer. Section 14 of the Fourth
Amendment with respect to Tenant’s Right of Offer is hereby deleted in its entirety. In lieu thereof, Exhibit J to the Second Amendment is revised as follows:

 “Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Right of Offer shall not apply to (i) the 4th floor of the Building until the 4th Floor Building Expansion Option (defined in Exhibit I to this Amendment) expires or (ii) the 15th floor of the Tower.” 

(b) The following is hereby added to the definition of Available Space: “any space which is equal to or in excess of 10,000 square
feet of Rentable Area within the Building upon the expiration of the rights of existing tenants to such space.” 
 11.
Acknowledgement. Tenant hereby acknowledges that Tenant now has no extension, renewal, expansion, contraction or early termination rights (except for rights to 

  
 5 

 
terminate based on damage, condemnation or Landlord’s default and except as set forth in Section 10.10 of the Original Lease) or rights of first offer or refusal with respect to the
Current Premises or any other space in the Project (each, a “Modification Right”) except for (i) the Extension Options set forth in Section 15 of the Second Amendment and Exhibit G attached to the Second Amendment
(as modified pursuant to Section 7 above), (ii) the Expansion Option set forth in Section 9 of this Amendment and in Exhibit I attached to this Amendment, and (iii) the Right of Offer set forth in Section 17 of the
Second Amendment and in Exhibit J attached to the Second Amendment (as modified pursuant to Section 10 above). Any provision in the Lease or in any Exhibits thereto that establishes or that might be interpreted to establish any other
Modification Right is hereby deleted. 
 12. Brokers. Landlord and Tenant each warrant and defend to the other that it
has not dealt with any broker in connection with this Amendment other than TEGRA Group and CB Richard Ellis (together, “Brokers”), and Landlord and Tenant each agrees to indemnify and save the other for its breach of this warranty
and representation, which will survive the termination of the Lease Term. Landlord agrees to pay any commission due to Brokers as a result of this Amendment. The commission paid to CB Richard Ellis will be as set forth in a separate written
agreement. Landlord agrees to pay or cause to be paid to TEGRA Group a commission in an amount equal to $3.00 per square foot of the Rentable Area of the Office Premises, due and payable within thirty (30) days following full execution and
delivery of this Amendment. 
 13. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts and it shall be
sufficient that the signature of each party appear in one or more of such counterparts. Signatures on this Amendment which are transmitted by facsimile or e-mail shall be valid for all purposes. Any party, however, shall deliver an original
signature for this Amendment to the other party upon request. 
 14. Reference. Except as otherwise provided above, the
Lease is ratified and confirmed and remains in full force and effect. All references in the Lease and this Amendment to the “Lease” or this “Lease” shall mean the Lease as amended by this Amendment. 

15. Recitals. Recitals A through D above are incorporated herein by reference. 

16. Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding upon and be enforceable by Landlord and Tenant and their successors
and permitted assigns. 
 17. Lender Consent and Confirmation. Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that:
(a) Landlord owns fee simple title to the Project, subject to a Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and Rents, Fixture Filing and Security Agreement dated August 16, 2006, recorded on August 17, 2006, as Document No. 4294846, in the
Office of the Registrar of Titles in and for Hennepin County, Minnesota (the “Mortgage”); (b) the Mortgage is currently held by Bank of America, National Association, as successor by merger to LaSalle Bank, National
Association, as Trustee for Bear Stearns Commercial Mortgage Securities Inc., Commercial Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2006-TOP24 (“Mortgage Holder”); and (c) except for the Mortgage, the Landlord’s interest
in the Project is not subject to any mortgages or monetary liens. Landlord agrees to obtain and deliver to Tenant as soon as reasonably possible, but in no 

  
 6 

 
event later than November 15, 2011, a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement (the “Mortgage Holder SNDA”), in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit T, or with such changes thereto as are approved by Tenant, executed and acknowledged by the Mortgage Holder. If the Mortgage Holder SNDA is executed on behalf of the Mortgage Holder by a servicer or other third party purporting
to act for and bind the Mortgage Holder, then the Mortgage Holder SNDA shall be accompanied by recordable evidence of the authority of such servicer or third party to so act for and bind the Mortgage Holder, which recordable evidence of authority
shall be in form and substance acceptable to Tenant. 
 If Landlord shall fail to deliver to Tenant a recordable original of the
Mortgage Holder SNDA (and, if applicable, recordable evidence of authority of any servicer or third party purporting to act for and bind the Mortgage Holder, as described above) by November 15, 2011, Tenant may by written notice to Landlord

 EXHIBIT I 
 EXPANSION OPTION 
 1. Subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the option (the “4th Floor Building Expansion Option”) to add the 4th Floor Building Expansion Space (defined below) to the Premises. As used herein, the “4th Floor Building Expansion Space” shall mean the approximately 21,543 square feet of Rentable Area comprising the entirety of the Rentable Area of the 4th floor of the Building. Possession of the 4th Floor Building Expansion Space shall be delivered to Tenant on the first day of any month chosen by Landlord during
the period from (and including) January 1, 2017 to (and including) April 1, 2017 (the “4th Floor Building Expansion Space Delivery Period”). Landlord shall give Tenant at least 60 days prior written notice of the date within
the 4th Floor Building Expansion Space Delivery Period
(the “4th Floor Building Expansion Space Delivery
Date”) that Landlord anticipates to deliver the
4th Floor Building Expansion Space to Tenant, but a later
delivery shall have no effect on Tenant’s obligations under the Lease as long as the 4th Floor Building Expansion Space Delivery Date occurs by April 1, 2017. If Landlord fails to deliver said written notice, then April 1, 2017 shall be the 4th Floor Building Expansion Space Delivery Date.

 2. On and after March 1, 2015, Landlord may request in writing that
Tenant provide to Landlord a preliminary, non-binding statement of Tenant’s then-current expectation as to whether Tenant (a) will exercise, (b) will not exercise, or (c) is unsure whether it will exercise, the 4th Floor Building Expansion Option (“Non-Binding
Statement”). Landlord agrees that the Non-Binding Statement is intended to be a preliminary statement of expectations only and shall not be binding upon Tenant in any way; regardless of any expectation expressed by Tenant in the Non-Binding
Statement, Tenant shall be free, in its sole and absolute discretion, to exercise, or to refrain from exercising, the
4th Floor Building Expansion Option in accordance with
this Exhibit I. Tenant shall deliver the Non-Binding Statement to Landlord within ten (10) business days after Tenant’s receipt of the request for such statement from Landlord. Tenant’s failure to deliver the Non-Binding
Statement in a timely manner shall not constitute a default under the Lease, and shall be treated by Landlord as an indication that Tenant is unsure whether it will exercise the 4th Floor Building Expansion Option. If Landlord wishes to confirm such undecided response, Landlord may do so by making
further inquiry of Tenant. 
 3. Tenant shall have the right to exercise the 4th Floor Building Expansion Option by delivering written notice
(“Tenant’s Expansion Notice”) of such election no later than December 1, 2015. Failure by Tenant to give timely notice of its exercise of the 4th Floor Building Expansion Option shall constitute Tenant’s decision not to exercise the 4th Floor Building Expansion Option, which shall thereupon automatically
terminate; it being agreed that time is of the essence and timely notice shall be an express and agreed condition of such exercise. 
 4. The 4th
Floor Building Expansion Space shall be added to the Premises and leased to Tenant upon the same terms and conditions of the Lease (including, without limitation, Tenant’s obligation to pay Tenant’s Additional Rent), except: 

  
 10 

 (a) Tenant shall not be obligated to pay any Base Rent or Tenant’s
Additional Rent for the 4th Floor Building Expansion Space
until the earlier of (i) the date which is ninety (90) days after the date on which possession of the
4th Floor Building Expansion Space is delivered to Tenant,
and (ii) the date on which Tenant takes occupancy of any portion of the 4th Floor Building Expansion Space for the conduct of its business (the
“4th Floor Building Expansion Space Rent Commencement
Date”); provided that from and after the date on which possession of the 4th Floor Building Expansion Space is delivered to Tenant, the 4th Floor Building Expansion Space shall be part of the Premises for all purposes of the Lease other than Tenant’s
obligation to pay Base Rent and Tenant’s Additional Rent and Tenant shall be bound by and shall comply with all of the provisions of the Lease (including those terms and conditions pertaining to acts or omissions of Tenant or Tenant’s
representatives, employees, agents, and contractors); 
 (b) the Base Rent which Tenant shall pay for
the 4th Floor Building Expansion Space shall be the same
as the Base Rent as Tenant is obligated to pay from time to time for the Office Premises; 
 (c) Tenant shall
accept the 4th Floor Building Expansion Space in its
“as is” condition on the date that possession of the 4th Floor Building Expansion Space is delivered to Tenant; except that the
4th Floor Building Expansion Space shall be delivered in
accordance with the Space Delivery Standards, and Landlord shall deliver such space broom clean, with all personal property removed, and except that Landlord shall make an allowance available to Tenant in an amount equal to the product of $0.42 per
square foot of the Rentable Area of the 4th Floor Building
Expansion Space multiplied by the number of months from the 4th Floor Building Expansion Space Rent Commencement Date through and including the last month of the New Term (with the first month being prorated if the 4th Floor Building Expansion Space Rent Commencement Date does not fall
on the first day of a calendar month), to pay for those costs which are incurred by Tenant in designing and constructing those leasehold improvements which Tenant desires to make to the 4th Floor Building Expansion Space (the “4th Floor Building Expansion Space Improvement
Allowance”). For so long as Tenant is not in default under the Lease, Landlord shall disburse the 4th Floor Building Expansion Space Improvement Allowance on a monthly basis in accordance with customary construction
disbursement procedures and upon receipt of a sworn construction statement and draw request, with supporting invoices for actual costs incurred and lien waivers from all material contractors and subcontractors delivered one month in arrears.
Landlord shall be permitted to offset against any 4th
Floor Building Expansion Space Improvement Allowance any amounts past due to Landlord by Tenant under the Lease. If the cost of those leasehold improvements which Tenant desires to make to the
4th Floor Building Expansion Space are less than the
4th Floor Building Expansion Space Improvement Allowance,
or if Tenant has not submitted requisitions covering all of the 4th Floor Building Expansion Space Improvement Allowance on or before the date that is twelve months after the 4th Floor Building Expansion Space Rent Commencement Date, Tenant shall not be entitled to any credit, abatement or
payment from Landlord with respect to such unutilized 4th
Floor Building Expansion Space Improvement Allowance. 
 (d) The Term of the Lease for the 4th Floor Building Expansion Space shall expire upon the expiration of
the Lease Term for the Current Premises; 

  
 11 

 (e) The 4th Floor Building Expansion Space Improvement Allowance shall be treated by Landlord and Tenant as a tenant improvement
allowance and all of the leasehold improvements that are constructed and paid for with the 4th Floor Building Expansion Space Improvement Allowance shall be owned by Landlord; and 
 (f) If Landlord fails to pay any portion of the 4th Floor Building Expansion Space Improvement Allowance which is properly due and payable, the unpaid amounts shall bear interest until paid at the Interest Rate, and if Landlord fails to pay such properly
due and payable amount within ten (10) business days after receiving written notice from Tenant that such amount was not paid when due, then Tenant shall be entitled to offset said amounts (including interest) against Rent due and payable under
the Lease. 
 5. Tenant shall have no right to exercise the 4th Floor Building Expansion Option if Capella Education Company has
assigned the Lease other than to an Affiliate or in connection with a Permitted Transfer (as defined in Section 10.7 of the Lease) or if Capella Education Company has subleased more than twenty percent (20%) of the Rentable Area of the
Current Premises other than to an Affiliate or in connection with a Permitted Transfer. 
 6. Tenant shall
have no right to exercise the 4th Floor Building Expansion
Option if on the date Tenant delivers Tenant’s Expansion Notice an Event of Default exists under the Lease and, if at any time after Tenant exercises the 4th Floor Building Expansion Option until the date on which Landlord is scheduled to deliver possession of the 4th Floor Building Expansion Space to Tenant, an Event of Default exists
under the Lease, Landlord shall, in addition to any other rights which Landlord may have under the Lease, have the right to terminate Tenant’s right to lease the 4th Floor Building Expansion Space by giving Tenant written notice of such termination. 

7. Landlord shall promptly after the 4th Floor Building Expansion Space Rent Commencement Date prepare a declaration confirming the 4th Floor Building Expansion Space Rent Commencement Date and the
Rentable Area of the 4th Floor Building Expansion Space
and deliver such declaration to Tenant. If such declaration is complete and correct, Tenant shall execute and return such declaration within thirty (30) days after submission, failing which Tenant shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed
that the information in the declaration is accurate and Tenant shall have thereby waived any right to object to the accuracy of such information unless within such thirty (30) day period Tenant notifies Landlord of its reasons for objecting to
the declaration. 
 8. Landlord shall not be liable for any delay in delivering or any failure to deliver
possession of the 4th Floor Building Expansion Space to
Tenant by reason of any holding over by any previous tenants or occupants of the same, nor shall such failure impair the validity of the Lease. Landlord shall, however, use all reasonable efforts to deliver possession of the 4th Floor Building Expansion Space in accordance with the provisions of
this Exhibit I. 
 9. Tenant’s 4th Floor Building Expansion Option shall be independent of Tenant’s Right of Offer as the same is modified by this
Amendment) and no failure by Tenant to exercise its Right of Offer with respect to any Available Space shall affect Tenant’s the 4th Floor Building Expansion Option.

 J. Landlord, Tenant and Lender have agreed that the Existing SNDA shall have
no further force or effect and shall be replaced in its entirety with the provisions of this Agreement. 
 AGREEMENT:

 For good and valuable consideration, Tenant, Lender and Landlord agree as follows: 

1. Subordination. The Lease and all of the terms, covenants and provisions thereof and all rights, remedies and
options of Tenant thereunder are and shall at all times continue to be subject and subordinate in all respects to the terms, covenants and provisions of the Mortgage and to the lien thereof, including without limitation, all renewals, increases,
modifications, spreaders, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof and to all sums secured thereby and advances made thereunder with the same force and effect as if the Mortgage had been executed, delivered and recorded prior to the
execution and delivery of the Lease. 
 2. Non-Disturbance. If any action or proceeding is commenced by Lender for
the foreclosure of the Mortgage or the sale of the Property, Tenant shall not be named as a party therein unless such joinder shall be required by law, provided, however, such joinder shall not result in the termination of the Lease or disturb the
Tenant’s possession or use of the Premises demised thereunder, and the sale of the Property in any such action or proceeding and the 

  
 T-3

 
exercise by Lender of any of its other rights under the Mortgage shall be made subject to all rights of Tenant under the Lease, provided that at the time of the commencement of any such action or
proceeding or at the time of any such sale or exercise of any such other rights (a) the Lease shall be in full force and effect, and (b) Tenant shall not be in default (after any applicable notice and cure period) of any of the terms,
covenants or conditions of the Lease or of this Agreement on Tenant’s part to be observed or performed. 
 3.
Attornment. If Lender or any other subsequent purchaser of the Property shall become the owner of the Property by reason of the foreclosure of the Mortgage or the acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or by reason
of any other enforcement of the Mortgage (Lender or such other purchaser being hereinafter referred as “Purchaser”), and the conditions set forth in Section 2 above have been met at the time Purchaser becomes owner of the
Property, the Lease shall not be terminated or affected thereby but shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between Purchaser and Tenant upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in the Lease and in that event,
Tenant agrees to attorn to Purchaser and Purchaser by virtue of such acquisition of the Property shall be deemed to have agreed to accept such attornment, provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be (a) liable for the failure of any prior
landlord (any such prior landlord, including Landlord and any successor landlord, being hereinafter referred to as a “Prior Landlord”) to perform any of its obligations under the Lease which have accrued prior to the date on which
Purchaser shall become the owner of the Property, provided that the foregoing shall not limit Purchaser’s obligations under the Lease to correct any conditions of a continuing nature that (i) existed as of the date Purchaser became the
owner of the Property and (ii) violate Purchaser’s obligations as landlord under the Lease; provided further, however, that Purchaser shall have received written notice of such omissions, conditions or violations and shall have had a
reasonable opportunity to cure the same, all pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Lease, (b) subject to any offsets, defenses, abatements or counterclaims which shall have accrued in favor of Tenant against any Prior Landlord prior to
the date upon which Purchaser shall become the owner of the Property, except to the extent that such offsets are otherwise expressly provided for under the Lease or were used to fund any Improvement Allowance under the Lease including interest
thereon or to fund the repairs, maintenance or other actions which would otherwise be an obligation of Purchaser upon its acquisition of the Property, (c) liable for the return of rental security deposits, if any, paid by Tenant to any Prior
Landlord in accordance with the Lease unless such sums are actually received by Purchaser, (d) bound by any payment of rents, additional rents or other sums which Tenant may have paid more than one (1) month in advance to any Prior
Landlord unless (i) such sums are actually received by Purchaser or (ii) such prepayment shall have been expressly approved of by Lender or Purchaser, (e) bound by any agreement terminating or amending or modifying the rent, term,
commencement date or other material term of the Lease (except for Amendments to the Lease which are executed to memorialize rights granted in the Lease), or any voluntary surrender of the Premises demised under the Lease, made without Lender’s
or Purchaser’s prior written consent prior to the time Purchaser succeeded to Landlord’s interest or (f) bound by any assignment of the Lease or sublease of the Property, or any portion thereof, made prior to the time Purchaser
succeeded to Landlord’s interest other than if pursuant to the provisions of the Lease. In the event that any liability of Purchaser does arise pursuant to this Agreement, such liability shall be limited and restricted to Purchaser’s
interest in the Property and shall in no event exceed such interest. Alternatively, upon the written request of Lender or its successors or assigns, Tenant shall enter into a new lease of the Premises with Lender or such

  
 T-4

 
successor or assign for the then remaining term of the Lease, upon the same terms and conditions as contained in the Lease (including, without limitation, any extension rights), except as
otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement. 
 4. Notice to Tenant. After notice is given to Tenant by
Lender that (a) the Landlord is in default under the Mortgage, (b) Lender has exercised its right under the assignment of leases and rents executed and delivered by Landlord to Lender in connection with the Mortgage (the
“Assignment of Leases”), and has revoked the license granted to Landlord to collect rentals and monies due under the Lease, and (c) the rentals under the Lease should be paid to Lender pursuant to the terms of the Assignment of
Leases, Tenant shall thereafter pay to Lender or as directed by the Lender, all rentals and all other monies due or to become due to Landlord under the Lease and Landlord hereby expressly authorizes Tenant to make such payments to Lender and hereby
releases and discharges Tenant from any liability to Landlord on account of any such payments. 
 5. Lender’s
Consent. None of the following shall be binding upon Lender without such action being taken with Lender’s prior consent: (a) any agreement amending, modifying or terminating the Lease (except for amendments to the Lease which are
executed to memorialize rights granted in the Lease), (b) prepayment by Tenant of any of the rents, additional rents or other sums due under the Lease for more than one (1) month in advance of the due dates thereof, (c) except as
expressly permitted under the Lease, Tenant’s voluntarily surrender of the Premises demised under the Lease, termination of the Lease, or shortening of the term thereof, or (d) assignment of the Lease or sublease of the premises demised
under the Lease or any part thereof other than as permitted by and pursuant to the provisions of the Lease. 
 6. Notice
to Lender and Right to Cure. Notwithstanding any provisions of the Lease to the contrary, no notice of cancellation thereof or of an abatement shall be effective unless Lender shall have received notice of default giving rise to such
cancellation or abatement and (i) in the case of any such default that can be cured by the payment of money, until thirty (30) days shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice, or (ii) in the case of any other such default,
until a reasonable period for remedying such default shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to cure any such default. 

7. Notices. All notices or other written communications hereunder shall be deemed to have been properly given (i) upon
delivery, if delivered in person or by facsimile transmission with receipt acknowledged by the recipient thereof and confirmed by telephone by sender, (ii) one (1) Business Day (hereinafter defined) after having been deposited for
overnight delivery with any reputable overnight

 13. Limitations on
Purchaser’s Liability. In no event shall the Purchaser, nor any heir, legal representative, successor, or assignee of the Purchaser have any personal liability for the obligations of Landlord under the Lease and should the Purchaser
succeed to the interests of the Landlord under the Lease, Tenant shall look only to the estate and property of any such Purchaser in the Property for the satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies for the collection of a judgment (or other judicial
process) requiring the payment of money in the event of any default by any Purchaser as landlord under the Lease, and no other property or assets of any Purchaser shall be subject to levy, execution or other enforcement procedure for the
satisfaction of Tenant’s remedies under or with respect to the Lease; provided, however, that the Tenant may exercise any other right or remedy provided thereby or by law in the event of any failure by Landlord to perform any such material
obligation.
