 Tenant shall pay to Landlord the sum of
Four Hundred Eighty Three Thousand, Nine Hundred Ninety Dollars and 00/100 DOLLARS ($483,990.00) as rent in installments as follows: 
 From
07/01/04 to 09/30/04 in monthly installments of $ 0 and;

 From 10/01/08 to 09/30/09 in monthly installments of $8,303.75 
 1.2 Additional Rent - Real Estate Tax and Tenant’s Proportionate Share 
 In addition to Fixed Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord Tenant’s proportionate share (6.11%) (“Tenant’s Proportionate Share”) of all taxes and assessments, general and special, and all other
impositions, ordinary and extraordinary, of any kind and nature whatsoever (or any substitution thereof), which may be levied, assessed or imposed upon the Development (as constructed from time to time) and Tenant’s proportionate share of any
and all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by Landlord in its efforts to reduce said taxes (collectively “Real Estate Taxes”). If Landlord is successful in reducing said taxes Tenant shall share, proportionately in such reduction.

 The Landlord shall in good faith estimate the real estate taxes to be incurred by the Landlord during each year of the Lease and a sum
equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) thereof shall be paid by the Tenant each month of the term of this Lease. 
 Payment of additional rental
for Tenant’s proportionate share of real estate taxes is due within ten (10) days following Tenant’s receipt of the invoice. Late payments are subject to late charges as included in Section 1.7. Within ninety (90) days
following receipt of the bill for real estate taxes for the applicable year, Landlord shall furnish the Tenant with a copy of the same and there shall be an adjustment between the Landlord and Tenant with payment to or a refund by Landlord, as the
case may be, so that the amount charged to the Tenant does not exceed Tenant’s proportionate share of the real estate taxes actually paid. 
  

 2 

 Upon the termination of the Lease, by lapse of time or otherwise, the Tenant shall pay Tenant’s
proportionate share based upon the actual amount of real estate taxes, if known, or if not known, based on an estimate of 110% of the previous year’s actual real estate taxes prorated for any partial calendar year. This amount will be billed
and due prior to the last day of occupancy. 
 1.3 Additional Rent - Common Area Expenses 
 Tenant shall pay to the Landlord as additional rent for the Premises, Tenant’s proportionate share (4.49%) of the expenses attributable to
“Common Areas” (hereafter defined). If, when billed, the Tenant’s proportionate share has been estimated, the Landlord shall, upon receipt of the bill for Common area expenses for the applicable year compute the actual amount payable
by the Tenant and either refund overpayment or bill the Tenant for underpayment. Billings for additional rental for Common Area Expenses are due within ten (10) days following receipt of the invoice. Late payments are subject to late charges as
included in Section 1.7. 
 The Landlord shall in good faith estimate the “Common area expenses” (hereafter defined) to be
incurred by the Landlord during each year of the Lease and a sum equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) thereof shall be paid by the Tenant each month of the term of this Lease. 
 “Common area expenses” shall mean any and all reasonable expenses incurred by the Landlord in connection with common areas within the Building
and Development, including, but not limited to, snow removal, landscaping, exterior window washing, parking lot, roof, exterior wall, foundation, sidewalk repair and maintenance, cleaning, fire and extended coverage insurance and liability insurance
against casualties in such Common Areas, management fees, all other repairs and maintenance, depreciation of any equipment used in maintaining the Common Area and other expenses usually and customarily charged to tenants as Common Area expenses in
like industrial developments. Landlord expressly reserves the right to determine the manner in which these common areas shall be maintained. 
 Within ninety (90) days following the end of each calendar year during the term of the Lease, Landlord will furnish Tenant with a Statement of Common area expenses prepared and certified to by an independent certified public
accountant, which Statement shall be binding on Landlord and Tenant. Any overpayment made by the Tenant shall be refunded to Tenant and any underpayment shall be billed to and paid by Tenant. In the event of any dispute as to Tenant’s
proportionate share of Common area expenses, the Tenant shall have the right once each twelve (12) calendar month period, upon reasonable written notice, at its own expense, to inspect the Landlord’s accounting records relative to Common
area expenses at Landlord’s accounting office during normal business hours. Unless Tenant shall take written exception to any item included in Common area expenses for any period prior to such inspection within fifteen (15) days following
such inspection, all previous statements shall be considered as final and accepted by the Tenant. 
  

 3 

 Upon the termination of the Lease, by lapse of time or otherwise, the Tenant shall pay Tenant’s
proportionate share based upon the actual amount of Common area expenses, if known, or if not known, based on an estimate of 110% of the previous year’s actual Common area expenses prorated for any partial calendar year. This amount will be
billed and due prior to the last day of occupancy. If, when billed, the Tenant’s proportionate share has been estimated, the Landlord shall, upon receipt of the bill for Common area expenses for the applicable year compute the actual amount
payable by the Tenant and either refund overpayment or bill the Tenant for underpayment. 
 1.4 Definition of Tenant’s Proportionate Share

 For sections 1.2 “Tenant’s proportionate share” has been computed by dividing 119,540 square feet (the total rentable
area of the industrial buildings) into 7,300 square feet (the square footage of the leased premises). 
 For sections 1.3
“Tenant’s proportionate share” has been computed by dividing 162,740 square feet (the total rentable area of the entire development) into 7,300 square feet (the square footage of the leased premises). 
 1.5 Place Due 
 All Fixed Rent, Tenant’s
proportionate share of real estate taxes and Common area expenses and other sums due under this Lease shall be paid to (Landlord) Arthur J. Rogers & Co. at Department 77-7258, Chicago, Illinois, 60678-7258 or at such other place as Landlord
may from time to time direct in writing. 
 1.6 Due Date 
 Fixed Rent is due in advance promptly on the first day of every calendar month and Tenant’s proportionate share of real estate taxes and Common area expenses is due promptly as provided in Sections 1.2 and 1.3
without offset. 
 If the Lease commences and/or terminates on other than the last day of the month, a prorated monthly installment shall be
calculated based on a thirty (30) day month. 
 1.7 Late Charge on Past Due Rent 
 If rents are received later than five (5) days after the due date, Tenant shall pay on demand a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the
late installment, and five percent (5%) of each month thereafter until paid in full.

 1.8 Prior Occupancy 
 If Tenant occupies the leased Premises prior to the beginning of the term with Landlord’s consent, all the provisions of this Lease shall be in full force commencing at such occupancy. Rent for such period shall
be based on the above schedule; a prorated monthly installment shall be calculated on a thirty (30) day month. 
 1.9 Delayed Occupancy

 In the event that Landlord is prevented from completing the alterations and improvements described in Exhibit “B” due to the
failure of the prior tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to the Landlord, work stoppages, labor controversies, accidents or other causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for damages by
reason thereof, nor shall Tenant be relieved from any obligation under this Lease, but the rental shall abate based on the above schedule (a pro-rated monthly installment shall be calculated on a 30 day month) until the said alterations and
improvements are completed. In such event, the term of this Lease shall automatically be extended so as to include the full number of months provided for by this Lease.

any default on the part of Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to apply such security deposit, or any portion thereof, to cure such default. In the event the security deposit is reduced by reason of such application, then within five (5) days
after notice from Landlord, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord such sum as may be necessary to restore the security deposit to its original amount. Landlord shall refund the security deposit without deduction to Tenant within thirty (30) days
after the termination of this Lease, but if the security deposit had been reduced to cure any default on the part of Tenant and has not been restored to its original amount, only the remainder of the security deposit, if any, shall be refunded to

 Tenant shall not make any installation or alteration in or improvement, addition or demolition to the Premises without the
prior written approval of Landlord, and if Landlord shall approve, all such work is subject to any reasonable restrictions to preserve intact the architectural design and structural integrity of the Building. Such work shall be performed at the

 4.4 Maintenance & Repairs 
 Landlord shall
keep the Building including the roof, exterior walls, foundations and the common areas in good condition and repair with the Tenant obligated for Tenant’s proportionate share per Section l.3. The cost of maintenance or repairs wholly or
partially caused by the negligence or act of the Tenant or any of its agents, visitors, licensees or employees or by Tenant’s breach of any provision of this Lease shall be borne by the Tenant. 
 4.5 Maintenance by Tenant 
 Tenant, at its own
expense, shall keep the interior of the Premises in good repair, decorated and in tenantable condition during the entire term of the Lease and shall promptly and adequately repair all damage to the Premises using labor and material approved by
Landlord. Tenant shall repair and maintain the heating, air conditioning, ventilating, electrical, plumbing equipment and services within the Premises; Landlord represents and warrants that all of the foregoing systems and equipment shall be in good
working order on the commencement date. In the event Tenant fails or refuses to maintain Premises or make such repairs or replacements, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to), following five (5) days prior written notice 

  

 10 

 
to Tenant and Tenant’s failure to cure within such period, make such repairs or replacements, and the cost thereof shall be considered additional rent,
payable by Tenant upon demand. 
 Landlord shall warrant and guarantee, at it’s sole expense, the heating and air conditioning equipment
within the demised premises during the first twelve (12) months of this Lease, provided that Tenant enters into a preventative maintenance contract with a qualified heating and air conditioning contractor to perform preventative maintenance to
the equipment at Tenant’s sole expense. 
 Furthermore, provided Tenant has contracted with a qualified heating and air conditioning
contractor for preventative maintenance, Landlord and Tenant shall prorate the cost of any repair or replacement of the equipment upon the percentage of time the Tenant had use of the equipment vs the age of the equipment at the time of failure.

 4.6 Carpeting 
 Tenant shall provide
and maintain hard surface protective mats under all desk chairs to avoid excessive wear and tear to carpets. During moving, carpeting is to be protected by a hard surface protective covering. If Tenant fails to so provide, the cost of carpet repair

 4.7 Condition of Premises 
 The Tenant’s acceptance of possession of the Premises shall be conclusive evidence that the Premises and Building were then in good order and
satisfactory condition, subject to punchlist items and latent defects. Tenant shall submit a punchlist of patent defects observed with respect to the condition of the Premises within thirty (30) days of possession and of latent defects within a
reasonable period of time after the commencement of the Lease term. 
 ARTICLE 5. ASSIGNMENT & SUBLETTING 
 5.1 Assignment & Subletting 
 Tenant shall
not assign or pledge this Lease or sublet the whole or any part of the Premises, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, or permit the use or occupancy of the Premises by anyone other than Tenant, without the prior written consent of Landlord,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such restrictions shall be binding upon any assignee or subtenant to which Landlord has consented. Notwithstanding any permitted assignment or subletting, Tenant shall at all times remain fully
liable for the payment of the rent specified herein and for compliance with all of its other obligations under the terms, provisions and covenants of this Lease. 
  

 11 

 5.2 Written Notice 
 The Tenant shall give written notice to Landlord of the desire to sublet. 
 5.3 Collection of Rent 
 Landlord may, at its option, collect directly from such assignee or subtenant all the rents under such assignment or sublease. No such collection shall be
construed to constitute a novation or a release of Tenant from the further performance of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. 
 5.4 Landlord’s
Option 
 In addition to but not in limitation of Landlord’s right to approve of any subtenant or assignee, Landlord shall have the
option, in its sole discretion, in the event of any proposed subletting of less than the entire Premises, to release Tenant from all liability as to that part of Premises so sublet or assigned, effective as of the date that such Sublessee or
Assignee shall take possession thereof. If Landlord exercises such option, Landlord shall give Tenant written notice within thirty (30) days following Landlord’s receipt of Tenant’s notice of its intention to assign or sublet and
requesting Landlord’s approval thereof. In the event that Landlord elects to terminate this Lease as a part of Premises, the rent required to be paid therefore during the unexpired term hereof shall abate based upon the ratio that the total
square footage of the part of the Premises so sublet bears to the total original square footage of the Premises. 
 5.5 Commissions 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.4, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, discharge in full any outstanding commissions or
obligations which may be due to any real estate broker retained by Tenant or its assignee or sublessee by reason of any assignment or subletting of Premises or any part thereof with the consent of Landlord. 
 5.6 Assignments to Successor Corporation 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of the above paragraphs, Tenant may, without Landlord’s consent, assign this Lease to any corporation succeeding to substantially all the business and assets of Tenant by merger, consolidation, purchase
of assets or to any corporation or entity which is a subsidiary or division of Tenant, provided that the following conditions are satisfied: (a) the total assets and net worth of such assignee shall be equal to or more than that of Tenant
immediately prior to such transactions; (b) Tenant is not then in default hereunder; and (c) such successor shall execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument in writing fully assuming all the obligations and liabilities imposed upon
Tenant hereunder, together with copies of appropriate financial reports of the successor corporation.

 ARTICLE 6. INSURANCE & INDEMNIFICATIONS 
 6.1 Tenant’s Insurance 
 Tenant shall, at its
sole cost and expense, maintain insurance coverage insuring Tenant’s personal property against any loss or damage by perils generally included in Fire and Extended Coverage Insurance policies and, further, shall procure and maintain adequate
Public Liability and Property Damage insurance and Workmen’s Compensation insurance of statutory limits. At the request of Landlord, Tenant shall furnish Certificates of such insurance policies, which Certificates shall provide for not less
than ten (10) days prior notice to Landlord in the event of cancellation or material modification thereof. 
 6.2 Increase in Insurance Premiums 

 In the event of any increase in the Landlord’s insurance premiums due to the unusual nature or hazardous operation of the
Tenant’s business, the Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to the increase of said insurance premium provided, however, that this Section 6.2 shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the right of Landlord to prohibit any use of Premises
other than as specified in Section 3.l. 
 6.3 Damage by Tenant 
 Tenant agrees to pay for all damage done to the Premises or the Building by Tenant and its officers, agents and employees or any other person permitted in the Premises by Tenant, other than same resulting from
Landlord’s acts, agents and employees, or negligence. 
 6.4 Insurance Regulations 
 Tenant, at its sole expense, shall comply with any and all requirements of any insurance organization or company necessary for the maintenance of
reasonable fire and public liability insurance covering the Premises and the Building. 
 6.5 Indemnification of Landlord 
 Tenant will indemnify and defend and hold harmless Landlord and its beneficiaries, agents, representatives, and employees from and against any and all
claims, actions, damages, liability and expense with respect to injury to persons, including loss of life and damage to property including the loss of use thereof arising from or out of any occurrence in, upon, or at the Premises or the Building, or
the occupancy or use by Tenant of the Premises or any part thereof, or the Building or any part thereof, occasioned wholly or in part by any act or omission of Tenant, their agents, contractors, employees, invitees and servants, provided, however,
that same shall not 
  

 13 

 have been caused by or resulted from Landlord’s acts, agents and employees, or negligence. In the event Landlord is
made party to any litigation commenced by or against Tenant, then Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord or their agents, successors, representatives, and employees harmless therefrom and shall pay all costs, expenses and reasonable
attorney’s fees incurred or paid by them or any of them in connection with such litigation, other than same resulting from Landlord’s acts or negligence, or the acts or negligence of Landlord’s employees, agents, contractors, invitees
and servants. 
 6.6 Non-Liability of Landlord 
 Landlord shall not be liable for any damage to property of Tenant or of others located on the Premises or elsewhere in the Building, nor for the loss of or damage to any property of Tenant or of others by theft or otherwise, unless caused
by or resulting from the acts or negligence of Landlord, or from the acts or negligence of Landlord employees, agents, contractors, invitees and servants. Except for Landlord’s acts or negligence or the acts or negligence of its agents,
employees, contractors, invitees, and servants, Landlord shall not be liable for any injury or damage to persons or property resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster, gas, electricity, water, rain or snow leaks from any part of the Premises
or elsewhere in the Building or leak backups from the pipes, appliances or plumbing works or from the roof, street or subsurface or from any other place or by dampness or by any other cause of whatever nature. Landlord shall not be liable for any
such damage caused by other tenants or persons in the Premises or elsewhere in the Building, occupants of adjacent property of the Building or the public or caused by construction operations. All property of Tenant kept or stored on the Premises or
elsewhere in the Building shall be so kept or stored at the risk of Tenant only, and Tenant shall hold Landlord harmless from any claims arising out of damage to the same unless such damage shall be caused by acts or negligence of Landlord or acts
or negligence of its of Landlord’s agents, employees, contractors, invitees, and servants. 
 6.7 Mutual Waiver of Subrogation Rights 

Except for Landlord’s negligence, agents and employees, or negligence whenever any loss, cost, damage or expense resulting from fire, explosion or
any other casualty is incurred by either of the parties to this Lease in connection with the Premises or the Building, and such party is then covered in whole or in part by insurance with respect to such loss, cost, damage or expense, then the party
so insured hereby releases the other party from any liability it may have on account of such loss, cost, damage, or expense to the extent of any amount recovered by reason of such insurance and waives any right of subrogation which might otherwise
exist in or accrue to any person on account thereof, provided that such release of liability and waiver of the right of subrogation shall not be operative in any case where the effect thereof is to invalidate such insurance coverage or increase the
cost thereof (provided that in the case of increased cost, the other party shall have the right within thirty (30) days following written notice to pay such increased cost, thereupon keeping such release and waiver in full force and effect).

 6.8 Interruption of Services 
 Landlord does not warrant that any of the services to be provided by Landlord pursuant to Article 11 following, or any other service to be provided by Landlord will be free from interruptions caused by repairs,
renewals, improvements, changes of service, alterations, work stoppage, labor controversies, accidents, inability to obtain fuel, electricity, water supplies or other cause beyond the reasonable control of Landlord. No such interruption of service
shall be deemed an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises or any part thereof, or render Landlord liable to Tenant for damages, by abatement of rent or otherwise, or relieve Tenant from performance of
Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Tenant hereby waives and releases all claims against Landlord for damages for interruption or stoppage of service.

 ARTICLE 7. MORTGAGES, TITLE, LIENS 
 7.1 Mortgages - Subordination 
 This Lease Agreement and the rights of Tenant pursuant hereto shall,
at all times, be subject and subordinate only to the lien of a First Mortgage at any time placed on the Building or Premises. Tenant shall, upon the written request of any First Mortgagee execute such instruments or documents as may be reasonably
required at any time and from time to time to subordinate the rights and interest of Tenant herein to the lien of any such First Mortgage. At the election of the First Mortgagee, this Lease shall not be terminated or affected by any proceedings
instituted to foreclose the lien of any First Mortgage, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, notwithstanding that any such First Mortgagee or any person claiming by, through or under any such First Mortgagee shall succeed to the
title of Landlord by foreclosure or Deed in lieu of foreclosure, and in any such event, Tenant agrees to attorn to any such First Mortgagee or its successors and assigns. 
 Should any First Mortgage be foreclosed, or in the event that the title of Landlord shall be conveyed to any such First Mortgagee by Deed in lieu of foreclosure, no such First Mortgagee, purchaser at such foreclosure
sale or their successors or assigns shall be: 
 a) liable for any act or omission of any prior Landlord; 
 b) subject to any off-set or defense which Tenant may have against any prior Landlord; and 
 c) bound by a prepayment of rent or other payments made to Landlord by Tenant for more than the current month. 
 7.2 Estoppel Certificate 
 Tenant agrees that upon not
less than fifteen (15) days prior notice from Landlord, Tenant will deliver to Landlord or to such other person as Landlord shall designate in such notice, a statement in writing in form satisfactory to Landlord certifying among other matters:

 a) that the Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if there have been modifications, that this Lease is in
full force and effect as modified and identifying such modifications); 
 b) that Tenant is in possession of the Premises and
is paying all rental payments required by this Lease; 
  

 16 

 c) that no more than one month’s rent (excluding the Security Deposit, if any) has
been paid in advance; 
 d) that all work required to be performed by Landlord under this Lease has been completed;

 e) the Commencement Date and expiration date of this Lease; and 
 f) that insofar as Tenant knows, Landlord is not in default under this Lease (or, if Tenant has knowledge of any default, a statement of
the nature thereof). 
 7.3 Modifications Required by Mortgagee 
 If any Mortgagee requires a modification or modifications of this Lease and such modification or modifications will not result in any increased cost or expense to Tenant or in any other way substantially alter the
rights and obligations of Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall, upon Landlord’s request, execute the appropriate instrument or instruments effecting such modification or modifications. 
 7.4 Landlord’s Title 
 Landlord’s title is and always shall be paramount to the title of
Tenant. Nothing herein contained shall empower Tenant to do any act which can, shall or may encumber the title of Landlord. 
 Tenant shall
not permit any mechanic’s liens to be filed against the Premises or the Building by reason of services or materials supplied or claimed to have been supplied in connection with any work done in the Premises at the direction of Tenant. If any
such mechanic’s lien shall at any time be filed, Tenant shall cause the same to be discharged of record or sufficient bond posted over same within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from Landlord. If Tenant shall fail to discharge or
post sufficient bond over such mechanic’s lien within such period, then, in addition to any other right or remedy, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, discharge the lien either before or after investigating it. 
 ARTICLE 8. EMINENT DOMAIN & DESTRUCTION OF PREMISES 
 8.1 Eminent Domain 
 If the entire Building or if any substantial part of the Premises shall be taken or condemned by any
authority for any public use or purpose, the term of this Lease shall end upon, and not before, the date when the possession of the part so taken shall be required for such use or purpose and without apportionment of the condemnation 
  

 17 

 award. The Tenant shall have no right to share in such award or seek an award for loss of its leasehold interest, the
right of Tenant, if any, in and to such award being hereby assigned to Landlord. All rent shall be apportioned as of the date of such termination. 
 8.2
Total or Partial Destruction 
 In the event that Premises or other parts of the Building shall be destroyed or so damaged by fire,
explosion, windstorm or other casualty (“Casualty”) so as to be: 
 a) rendered untenantable, Landlord may, at its
election, either: 
 i) terminate this Lease as of the date of Casualty by written notice thereof to Tenant within sixty
(60) days following the date of Casualty, in which event all rent shall be apportioned on a per diem basis and paid by Tenant to the date of Casualty; or 
 ii) proceed with all due diligence to repair, restore or rehabilitate the Premises or the Building, as the case may be, to the condition
existing immediately prior to Casualty (“Restoration Work”) and to complete within 150 days of the date of the Casualty, in which event this Lease shall not terminate, and rent shall equitably abate on a per diem basis during the period of
Restoration Work to the extent that Tenant is denied use of the Premises by reasons of Restoration Work; 
 Landlord shall
proceed with all due diligence to perform or cause Restoration Work to be performed and completed within (90) days of the date of the Casualty, in which event rent shall abate in proportion to the non-usability of the Premises during the period
of Restoration Work; 
 b) partially damaged but not rendered untenantable, Landlord shall proceed with all due diligence to
perform or cause Restoration Work to be performed and complete within 150 days of the date of the Casualty, in which event rent shall abate in proportion to the non-usability of the Premises during the period of Restoration Work; 
 PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if Casualty shall occur at any time during the last year of the term of this Lease, Landlord or Tenant shall have the right, at
its election, to terminate this Lease as of the date of Casualty, by written notice thereof to the other within thirty (30) days following the date of Casualty. 
  

 18 

 Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Landlord be: 
 a) responsible for any loss or damage incurred by Tenant or any other person, firm or corporation by reason of goods, wares, merchandise,
furniture, fixtures and equipment situated within Premises and damaged by reason of Casualty; 
 b) liable or responsible for
any other damage incurred by Tenant by reason of Casualty; or 
 c) for any delays in Restoration Work caused by labor
controversies, riots, acts of God, national emergencies, acts of a public enemy, governmental laws or regulations, inability to procure materials or labor, or both, or any other cause beyond the control of Landlord. 
 ARTICLE 9. SURRENDER OF PREMISES 
 9.1 Condition of
Premises 
 Tenant shall yield to Landlord possession of the Premises in as good condition as when the Tenant took possession, subject to
ordinary wear and tear, in accordance with the provision of this Lease. If the Tenant fails to yield the Premises in as good condition as when the Tenant took possession, normal wear and tear excepted, the Landlord may restore the Premises to such
condition, and Tenant shall pay the cost thereof. 
 9.2 Alterations of Premises 
 Alterations of the Premises remain the property of the Landlord in accordance with the provisions of this Lease. In the event Landlord so directs in
writing prior or within thirty (30) days after termination of this Lease, Tenant shall promptly remove Tenant’s alterations (but not alterations made by Landlord) and repair any damage to the Premises. If Tenant fails to repair such
damage, the Landlord may restore the Premises, and Tenant shall pay the cost thereof. 
 9.3 Tenant’s Trade Fixtures 
 Any trade fixtures which are attached to the Premises, with Landlord’s prior written consent, may be removed by Tenant provided that Premises are
restored by Tenant to the condition prior to attachment. If the Tenant fails to restore such damage, the Landlord may restore the Premises, and Tenant shall pay the cost thereof. 
 9.4 Property Presumed Abandoned 
 All Tenant’s trade fixtures and personal property not removed
from the premises upon termination shall be conclusively presumed to have been abandoned by the Tenant, and title thereto shall pass to Landlord as by a bill of sale. The Tenant shall pay for the cost of removal of such abandoned items. 

 

 19 

 9.5 Surrender of Keys 
 Tenant shall surrender all keys to Premises and Building and all data relative to combination locks and security systems in Premises. 
 9.6 Notification of Surrender 
 Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the last day of the term
of this Lease, the Tenant shall notify Landlord of the last day of occupancy of the Premises in writing. On the last day of occupancy, Landlord and Tenant shall review the physical condition of the Premises for the purpose of assessing needed
repairs to the Premises. 
 9.7 Holdover by Tenant 
 Tenant will, at the termination of this Lease by lapse of time or otherwise, yield up immediate possession to Landlord. If Tenant retains possession of the Premises or any part thereof after such termination, then
Landlord may, at its option at any time thereafter, serve written notice upon Tenant that such holdover constitutes any one of: 
 a) renewal of the Lease for one year at the then prevailing current rental rate; or 
 b) creation of a
month-to-month tenancy upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease; or 
 c) creation of a tenancy at sufferance in
any case upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Lease; 
 PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the monthly rental (or daily rental under (c))
shall, in addition to all other sums which are to be paid by Tenant hereunder, be equal to double the rental being paid monthly to Landlord under this Lease immediately prior to such termination (prorated in the case of (c) on the basis of a
360-day year for each day Tenant remains in possession). If no such notice is served, then a tenancy at sufferance shall be deemed to be created at the rent in the preceding sentence. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all damages sustained by
Landlord resulting from retention of possession by Tenant, including all loss or damage sustained or incurred by Landlord by reason of any new lease to or the loss of any proposed subsequent tenant for any portion of the Premises. The provisions of
the paragraph shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of any right of reentry; nor shall receipt of any rent or any other act in apparent affirmance of the tenancy operate as a waiver of the right to terminate this Lease for a breach of any of the
terms, covenants or obligations therein on Tenant’s part to be performed. 
  

 20 

 ARTICLE 10. LANDLORD’S REMEDIES 
 All rights and remedies of Landlord herein enumerated shall be cumulative, and none shall exclude any other right or remedy allowed by law. 

10.1 If any voluntary or involuntary petition or similar pleading under any section or sections of any bankruptcy act shall be filed by or against Tenant, or
any voluntary or involuntary proceedings in any court shall be instituted to declare Tenant insolvent or unable to pay Tenant’s debts, or Tenant makes an assignment for the benefits of its creditors, or a trustee or receiver is appointed for
Tenant or for the major part of Tenant’s property, then in such event, Landlord may, if Landlord so elects and with or without notice of such election and with or without entry or other action by Landlord, forthwith terminate this Lease and,
notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease, Landlord shall forthwith upon such termination be entitled to recover damages in an amount equal to the then present value of the rent specified in Article l of this Lease for the residue of the
stated term hereof. 
 10.2 If Tenant defaults in the prompt payment of rent and such default shall continue for five (5) or more days after the
same be due and payable or in the performance or observance of any other provisions of this Lease and such other default shall continue for ten (10) or more days after notice thereof shall have been given to Tenant, or if the leasehold interest
of Tenant be levied upon under execution or attached by process of law, or if Tenant abandons the leased Premises, then and in any such event, Landlord, if it so elects with or without notice or demand forthwith, or at any time thereafter while such
default continues, either may terminate Tenant’s right to possession without terminating this Lease or may terminate this Lease. 
 10.3 Upon
termination of this Lease, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, or upon any termination of the Tenant’s right to possession without termination of this Lease, the Tenant shall surrender possession and vacate the leased Premises immediately
and deliver possession thereof to the Landlord, and hereby grants to the Landlord full and free license to enter into and upon the leased Premises in such event with or without process of law and to repossess the leased Premises and to expel or
remove the Tenant and any others who may be occupying or within the leased Premises and to remove any and all property therefrom, using such force as may be necessary without being deemed in any manner guilty of trespass, eviction, forcible entry or
detainer, or conversion of property, and without relinquishing the Landlord’s rights to rent or any other right given to the Landlord hereunder or by operation of law. The Tenant expressly waives the service of any demand for the payment of
rent or for possession and the service of any notice of the Landlord’s election to terminate this Lease or to 

  

 21 

 
reenter the Premises, including any and every form of demand and notice prescribed by any statute or other law, and agrees that the simple breach of any
covenant or provisions of this Lease by the Tenant shall, of itself, without the service of any notice or demand whatsoever, constitute a forcible detainer by the Tenant of the demised Tenant covenants and agrees to pay to Landlord after such
termination and reentry, at Landlord’s option: 
 a) at the end of each month of the demised term, the difference, if
any, between the rent actually received by Landlord from said demised Premises during such month and the rent agreed to be paid by the terms of this Lease during such month, together with the reasonable expenses of re-letting and altering the
improvements on such demised Premises, together with reasonable commissions and attorney’s fees; or 
 b) damages in an
amount equal to the then present value of the rent specified in this Lease, as adjusted for taxes and expenses, for the residue of the stated term hereof, less the fair rental value of the Premises for the residue of the stated term. 
 10.4 If Tenant abandons the Premises or otherwise entitles Landlord to so elect and Landlord elects to terminate the Tenant’s right to possession only
without terminating the Lease, the Landlord may, at the Landlord’s option, enter into the leased Premises, remove the Tenant’s signs and other evidences of tenancy and take and hold possession thereof as in Paragraph 10.3 of this Article,
provided, without such entry and possession terminating the Lease or releasing the Tenant in whole or in part from the Tenant’s obligation to pay the rent hereunder for the full term, and in any such case the Tenant shall pay forthwith to the
Landlord a sum equal to the entire amount of the rent specified in Article l of this Lease for the residue of the stated term, plus any other sums then due hereunder. Upon and after entry into possession without termination of this Lease, the
Landlord may, but need not, re-let the leased Premises or any part thereof for the account of the Tenant to any person, firm or corporation other than the Tenant for such rent, for such time and upon such terms as the Landlord in the Landlord’s
sole discretion shall determine, and the Landlord shall not be required to accept any tenant offered by the Tenant or to observe any instructions given by the Tenant about such re-letting. In any such case, the Landlord may make repairs, alterations
and additions in or to the leased Premises and redecorate the same to the extent deemed by the Landlord necessary or desirable and the Tenant shall, upon demand, pay the reasonable cost thereof, together with the Landlord’s expenses of the
re-letting including, without limitation, any reasonable broker’s commission incurred by the Landlord. If the consideration collected by the Landlord upon any such re-letting for the Tenant’s account is not sufficient to pay the full
amount of unpaid rent reserved in this Lease, together with the costs of repairs, alterations, additions, redecorating and the Landlord’s expenses, the Tenant shall pay to the Landlord the amount of each deficiency. 
  

 22 

 10.5 If Tenant violates any of the terms and provisions of this Lease or defaults in any of its obligations
hereunder other than the payment of any sum payable hereunder, whether the same be rent or otherwise, violation may be restrained or such obligation enforced by injunction, which remedy shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies available

 27Addendum to Asset Purchase Agreement, dated June 25, 2008

 Exhibit 4.56 
 ADDENDUM TO ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT 
 BY AND BETWEEN TRINTECH TECHNOLOGIES LIMITED, 

ASSURITY TECHNOLOGIES, INC., ET AL. 
 This Addendum agreement is entered into by and between Trintech Technologies Limited, an Irish Corporation (“Buyer”), Assurity Technologies, Inc., a Kansas Corporation (“Seller”), Heather Lynds, a Kansas resident, and
Andrew Lynds, a Kansas resident, as of this              day of June, 2008 and constitutes a modification to the Asset Purchase Agreement (referred to also as the
“Agreement”) entered into by and among the parties on and around February 1, 2006. 
 WHEREAS, the parties entered into
the Agreement on and around February 1, 2006; and 
 WHEREAS, the parties desire to enter into this Addendum in order to modify
the rights and responsibilities of the parties to the extent specifically set forth below, which modification is being entered into and is allowable pursuant to Section 7.3 of the Agreement; and 
 WHEREAS, the parties have had disagreements on the methodology to be employed in calculating the “Earn-Out Payments” contemplated in
Section 1.2.c of the Agreement, and the parties desire to modify Section 1.2 of the Agreement in order to settle such disagreements. 
 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the provisions of this Addendum, and the mutual promises contained herein, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the parties, the parties agree as follows: 
 1. Final Earn-Out Payment. Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall pay to Seller a final “Earn-out
Payment” in the amount and in the time and manner set forth immediately below: 
 a. The amount of such final
“Earn-out Payment” (for purposes of this Addendum, the “Final Payment”) shall be an amount equal to $5,057,000 minus any amounts previously paid pursuant to satisfaction of the purchase price to Seller under the Agreement
as of the date of this Addendum, which Final Payment amount is agreed to by the parties as totaling $969,905. 
 b. On or
before August 20, 2008, Buyer shall place the Final Payment amount in an escrow account, such amount to be invested in short-term, guaranteed interest bearing securities, with such account to be held by an independent corporate entity (the
“Escrow Agent”) with corporate fiduciary powers under the laws of the State of Texas and as agreed upon by the parties. Such escrow agreement shall be subject to the terms and 

 Addendum 
 Page 2 of 6 
  

	 	 
provisions of the form of escrow agreement customarily used by the Escrow Agent, provided such escrow agreement shall state that the Final Payment shall be
held, administered, and paid to Seller as provided under this Addendum agreement, notwithstanding any provision of the Escrow Agent’s form escrow agreement to the contrary. The Final Payment amount of $969,905 shall be paid no later than
February 2, 2009 by way of electronic transfer to the account of Seller as designated in writing by Seller. Any amounts of interest earned under the escrow account on the Final Payment amount shall redound to Buyer. To the extent that any
amounts of taxable income earned on the investment of the Final Payment while in escrow would be deemed to be taxable to Seller or its shareholders under the rules of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, if applicable, Buyer shall
reimburse Seller an amount necessary solely to offset such additional tax costs. Buyer shall be responsible for any fees related to the institution and administration of such escrow account. 

 2. Heather Lynds’ Employment. Heather Lynds agrees to continue with her employment with Buyer, or its affiliates, until August 20, 2008
and agrees to fully participate in the transfer of product knowledge to Buyer at the times and in the manner agreed to by the parties by way of a separate memorandum of understanding entered into between the parties and attached hereto as
“Attachment A.” The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Final Payment amount is being paid in consideration of fully and finally settling any and all claims regarding calculation of the “Earn-out Payment” under the
Asset Purchase Agreement payable to Seller and that any claims subsequent to the signing of this Addendum Agreement relative to any actions by the parties on or after the date of the signing of this Addendum Agreement, including but not limited to,
the actions of either party with respect to Heather Lynds’ or Andrew Lynds’ employment with the Buyer or its affiliates, shall not provide an affirmative defense or otherwise excuse Buyer from the funding of the Escrow Agreement or the
payment of the Final Payment amount under this Addendum Agreement. 
 3. Andrew Lynds’ Employment. The parties hereby agree that
Andrew Lynds’ employment shall continue to be governed by the employment agreement entered into between Andrew Lynds and Buyer or its affiliates, provided however, that either party may terminate such agreement “without cause” with
only one business day’s prior notice and by this Addendum Agreement hereby waive any rights to notice or compensation under any employment agreements between the parties or their affiliates in conflict with this provision. The parties agree and
acknowledge that Andrew Lynds’ termination of employment, whether voluntary or otherwise, or for-cause or without cause, shall not constitute a violation of any of the covenants or duties under the employment agreement between Heather Lynds and
Buyer or its affiliates. 
 4. Mutual Release and Waiver. For the consideration stated herein, the parties do hereby release, waive
and discharge as to one another and each other’s agents, assigns, employees, executors, heirs, successors, directors, officers, and stockholders, as 

 Addendum 
 Page 3 of 6 
  
 
the case may be, from any and all claims of every kind which either now has, or under any circumstances could have had, against the other arising out of the
facts and circumstances alleged or as may have been or be developed or as may have arisen or arise out of the circumstances regarding the amounts due Seller under the Asset Purchase Agreement or any other of the parties’ rights and duties under
such Agreement, and all agreements and documents related thereto or as exist with respect to any other matter occurring prior to the date hereof and released hereby. 
 The parties acknowledge that this mutual release is in full settlement and satisfaction of any and all actions, causes of actions, suits, claims, damages, and demands of every kind or nature, whether known or unknown,
whether now anticipated or not, as between the parties, including but not limited to, matters in issue relative to the above-mentioned agreements. Both parties agree that this mutual release may be pled as a complete defense to any action or
proceeding which has already been brought, or may be brought or instituted for any occurrence or event arising in relation hereto, by either party or by anyone claiming by or through either party. The parties understand that the terms herein are
contractual in nature and not a mere recital. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this mutual release shall not act as a release of
any claim of either party based upon and arising after the execution of this Addendum agreement by and between the parties. No party may claim that this mutual release releases such party from fulfilling its obligations under the Asset Purchase
Agreement, as revised by this Addendum agreement. 
 5. No Modification. No alteration, modification, or change in this Addendum
