Provided that this Lease is in full force and effect and Tenant is not in default under the terms hereof, with the giving of notice and time to cure expired, and more than fifty percent (50%) of the Premises are occupied by the Tenant named herein or a Related Entity, as defined below, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the option to extend the Initial Term of this Lease (the “Renewal Option”) on the same terms, conditions and provisions as contained in this Lease, except as otherwise provided herein, for one period of five (5) years (“Renewal Term”). The Initial Term, as extended by the Renewal Term is herein referred to

 

    	2

    	 

    
 

 

	 	 	
as the Lease Term. In order to exercise the Renewal Option, Tenant must give Landlord written notice thereof not less than twelve months prior to the Expiration Date of the Term.

 

The annual Base Rent for the Premises during the Renewal Term shall be the then prevailing market rental rates all relevant factors considered.

 

For purposes hereof, “prevailing market rental rates” shall mean the base rent, including escalations, which a third party (not a renewing tenant or a tenant already in occupancy of the Premises) would pay to lease the Premises for the period of the Renewal Term, considering (i) a tenant taking possession of the Premises with the existing improvements and betterments in place, as of the date of the Renewal Term, and (ii) a brokerage commission to the extent required to be paid under the agreement by, and between, Landlord and Broker.

Covenants Concerning Rental Payments. Tenant shall pay the Rent promptly when due, without notice or demand, and without any abatement, deduction or setoff, except as may otherwise be expressly and specifically provided in this Lease. No payment by Tenant, or receipt or acceptance by Landlord, of a lesser amount than the correct Rent shall be deemed to be other than a payment on account, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or letter accompanying any payment be deemed an accord or satisfaction, and either Agent or Landlord may accept such payment without prejudice to its right to recover the balance due or to pursue any other remedy available to Landlord. If the Rent Commencement Date occurs on a day other than the first day of a calendar month, the Rent due for the first calendar month of the Term shall be prorated on a per diem basis.

 

	
  

	
2.5.

	
Early Termination. Provided Tenant is not then in default hereunder, with the giving of notice and opportunity to cure expired, Tenant shall have a one-time right to terminate the Lease on January 1, 2021 (“Early Termination Date”) by providing written notice of the intended termination on or before December 31, 2019. Should Tenant elect to exercise its right of early termination on the Early Termination Date, Tenant will repay 100% of the unamortized transaction costs (“Surrender Payment”). The Surrender Payment shall be equal to the sum of (x) the unamortized Tenant Allowance and Additional Allowance (as defined in Exhibit C hereto), if any, (y) the unamortized abated Base Rent and Additional Rent, and (z) unamortized brokerage commissions. Amortization shall be on a straight line basis from December 1, 2015 to the Expiration Date using an 8.00% interest rate. In addition, Tenant shall pay on the Early Termination Date any delinquent Rent and cure any defaults hereunder.

 

	
  

	
2.6.

	
Right of First Refusal.

 

	
  

	
2.6.1.

	
Right of First Refusal. Before Landlord enters into a lease for Additional Space located on Floor 3 with a third party, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a statement of the material terms of the transaction for such Additional Space executed by Landlord, which statement shall represent that the terms therein are reflected in a letter of intent or an exchange of correspondence with a bona fide potential tenant (“Term Sheet”); and Tenant may, within ten (10) days of receipt of the Term Sheet, have the right to accept the Additional Space on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Term Sheet. Any dollar amount of any concessions contained within the Term Sheetshall be adjusted proportionately to reflect any differences in the term compared to the term indicated in this Lease. In the event that Tenant does not exercise its right of first refusal and the Additional Space is not leased pursuant to the Term Sheet to said proposed tenant within three months of the date Tenant elects not to lease the Additional Space, Tenant shall have the same rights hereunder as if the Additional Space had not been initially offered to Tenant.

8.1.

	
Prohibition. Tenant acknowledges that this Lease and the Rent due under this Lease have been agreed to by Landlord in reliance upon Tenant’s reputation and creditworthiness and upon the operation of the Premises by Tenant for the particular use set forth in Section 4 above (provided, however, that nothing herein shall obligate Tenant to operate continuously a business within the Premises, subject, however, to Tenant’s continuing obligation to pay Rent as required hereunder); therefore, Tenant shall not whether voluntarily, or by operation of law, or otherwise (a) assign or otherwise transfer this Lease, (b) sublet the Premises or any part thereof, or allow the same to be used or occupied by anyone other than Tenant, or (c) mortgage, pledge, encumber, or otherwise hypothecate this Lease or the Premises, or any part thereof, in any manner whatsoever, without in each instance obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent may be given or withheld in Landlord’s reasonable, discretion. Any purported assignment, mortgage, transfer, pledge or sublease made without the prior written consent of Landlord shall be absolutely null and void. No assignment of this Lease shall be effective and valid unless and until the assignee or sublessee executes and delivers to Landlord an agreement assuming the obligations of the Tenant under the Lease to the extent set forth in the assignment or sublease and further acknowledging that in the event of a sublease, the sublease is subordinate to the Lease and, in the event of an assignment, the assignment does not, without the written consent of the Landlord, modify or release any of the obligations of the Tenant under the Lease. Any consent by Landlord to a particular assignment, sublease or mortgage shall not constitute consent or approval of any subsequent assignment, sublease or mortgage, and Landlord’s written approval shall be required in all such instances. Any consent by Landlord to any sublease shall not 

 

    	11

    	 

    
 

 

	
  

	 	
be deemed to release Tenant from its obligations hereunder and Tenant shall remain fully liable for performance of all obligations under this Lease.

 

	
  

	 	

Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained in this Lease, this Lease may be assigned, or the Premises may sublet or license in whole or in part, without the consent of Landlord, to any corporation into or with which Tenant may be merged or consolidated or to any corporation or other entity which shall be a subsidiary, parent or successor of Tenant, or of a corporation which may be merged or consolidated into or with Tenant or which Tenant shall control, directly or indirectly (“Related Entity” or “Affiliate”). Under no circumstances shall a sale of a majority or more of the common stock of Tenant or its parent be deemed an assignment pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Lease. Additionally, the public sale or transfer of the common stock of Tenant or its parent shall not constitute an assignment under this Lease. For purposes herein, a Related Entity shall have the same rights as the Tenant hereunder as if the Related Entity were the original Tenant.

 

Tenant may, on notice to Landlord, license a portion of its Premises for use by those entities with whom Tenant is doing business, including, without limitation, clients, joint venturers or strategic partners.

(ii)

	
A corporation or other entity acquiring this Lease and the Term hereby demised and a substantial portion of the property and assets of the Tenant, its corporate successors or assigns, or

    	12

    	 

    
 

 

	 	 	
not in violation of this Lease, Landlord may, without prejudice to, or waiver of its rights), collect Rent from the assignee, subtenant or occupant. Landlord may apply the net amount collected to the Rent herein reserved, but no such assignment, subletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of any of the provisions of this Section 8.

 

	
  

	
8.3.

	
Sublet and Assignment.  In the event Tenant wishes to sublet or assign the Lease to an entity which requires the consent of Landlord, Tenant shall provide Landlord with the material terms of the proposed conveyance along with reasonable financial information and description of the transferee.  Landlord shall advise Tenant, in writing, within ten (10) days of receipt of such information of its consent, or, if Landlord shall withhold consent, advise Tenant, in writing of the basis for withholding such consent.  No sublease or assignment shall relieve Tenant of its obligations under this Lease, unless explicitly set forth in the consent of the Landlord.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall a sublease of a portion of the Premises relieve the Tenant of its obligations under the Lease without the explicit, written consent of the Landlord.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord, when received by Tenant, one -half of any rent or other payments received by Tenant under any sublease to an unrelated or unaffiliated entity which exceeds the Rent payable by Tenant for the space subleased, net of any expenses of Tenant incurred in connection with the sublease.

If less than a substantial portion of the Property or Premises is so taken or condemned, or if the taking or condemnation is temporary (regardless of the portion of the Property or Premises affected), this Lease shall not terminate, but the Rent payable hereunder shall be proportionally abated to the extent of any actual loss of use of the Premises by Tenant.

The provisions of this Section 20 shall not constitute a waiver by Landlord of any re-entry rights of Landlord provided hereunder or by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord and Tenant are engaged in negotiations for an extension of the Term, there shall be no increase in Base Rent during such negotiations and the Term hereof shall be extended until such time as Landlord shall notify Tenant that it no longer elects to continue to negotiate for a Lease extension (beyond any option period) and provided that such notice shall give Tenant a reasonable time to vacate and surrender the Premises to Landlord.

RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

 

	
  

	
22.1.

	
Landlord’s Cure Rights Upon Default of Tenant. If Tenant defaults in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord, without thereby waiving such default, may (but shall not be obligated to) perform the same for the account, and at the expense of, Tenant upon compliance with any notice requirements and cure periods set forth in Section 21.1.

 

	
  

	
22.2.

	
Landlord’s Remedies. In the event of any default by Tenant under this Lease, Landlord, at its option, may serve Tenant with a notice of default advising Tenant that unless Tenant cures the default within ten (10) days of receipt of the notice, Landlord may, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided in this Lease, or otherwise at law or in equity, commence a proceeding to recover Base Rent and Additional Rent due from Tenant to the date of the proceeding, subject to Landlord’s obligation to mitigate damages. In the event that Landlord wishes to 

 

    	26

    	 

    
 

 

	
  

	
 

	
terminate the Lease by reason of such default, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a second notice stating in bold letters that unless Tenant shall cure the default, Landlord may, within five business days thereafter, (a) seek to terminate the Lease and recover from Tenant the moneys due to the date of the notice and thereafter under the terms of the Lease, subject to mitigation, including the recovery of all Landlord’s reasonable expenses of reletting the Premises (including repairs, alterations, improvements, additions, decorations, legal fees and brokerage commissions), or (b) terminate Tenant’s right of possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease; provided, however, that Landlord shall use its reasonable efforts, whether Landlord elects to proceed under Subsections (a) or (b) above, to relet the Premises, or any part thereof for the account of Tenant, for such rent and term and upon such terms and conditions as are reasonably acceptable to Landlord. If Landlord elects to pursue its rights and remedies under Subsection (b), then Landlord shall at any time have the further right and remedy to rescind such election and pursue its rights and remedies under Subsection (a). For purposes of any reletting, Landlord is authorized to decorate, repair, alter and improve the Premises to the extent reasonably deemed necessary by Landlord, in its sole, but reasonable, discretion. If the Premises are relet and a sufficient sum is not realized there from, to satisfy the payment, when due, of Base Rent and Additional Rent reserved under the Lease for any monthly period (after payment of all Landlord’s reasonable expenses of reletting) , then Tenant shall pay any such deficiency monthly. Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suit to recover any sums due to Landlord hereunder from time to time and that such suit or recovery of any amount due Landlord hereunder shall not be any defense to any subsequent action brought for any amount not theretofore reduced to judgment in favor of Landlord. In the event Landlord elects, pursuant to Subsection (b) of this Section 22.2, to terminate Tenant’s right of possession only, without terminating this Lease, Landlord may, pursuant to Court order, at Landlord’s option, enter into the Premises, remove Tenant’s Property, Tenant’s signs and other evidences of tenancy, and take and hold possession thereof, as provided in Section 20 hereof; provided, however, that such entry and possession shall not terminate this Lease or release Tenant, in whole or in part, from Tenant’s obligation to pay the Base Rent and Additional Rent reserved hereunder for the full Term, or from any other obligation of Tenant under this Lease. Any and all property that may be removed from the Premises by Landlord pursuant to the authority of the Lease or of law, to which Tenant is or may be entitled, may be handled, removed or stored by Landlord at the risk, cost and expense of Tenant, and in no event or circumstance, other than Landlord’s negligence, shall Landlord be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping thereof. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, upon demand, any and all expenses incurred in such removal and all storage charges against such property so long as the same shall be in Landlord’s possession or under Landlord’s control. Any such property of Tenant not retaken from storage by Tenant within thirty (30) days after the end of the Term, however terminated, shall be conclusively presumed to have been conveyed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease as in a bill of sale, without further payment or credit by Landlord to Tenant.

Additional Rights of Landlord. Any and all reasonable costs, expenses and disbursements, of any kind or nature, incurred by Landlord or Agent in connection with the enforcement of any and all of the terms and provisions of this Lease, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (through all appellate proceedings), shall be due and payable (as Additional Rent) upon Landlord’s submission of an invoice therefor. All sums advanced by Landlord or Agent on account of Tenant under this Section, or pursuant to any other provision of this Lease, and all Base Rent and Additional Rent, if delinquent or not paid by Tenant and received by Landlord when due hereunder, shall bear interest at the rate of three percent (3%) per annum above the “prime” or “reference” or “base” rate of interest publicly announced as such, from time to time, by The First National Bank of Chicago, from the due date thereof until paid, and such interest shall be and constitute Additional Rent and be due and payable upon Landlord’s or Agent’s submission of an invoice therefor. The various rights, remedies and elections of Landlord reserved, expressed or contained herein are cumulative and no one of them shall be deemed to be exclusive of the others or of such other rights, remedies, options or elections as are now or may hereafter be conferred upon Landlord by law.

Event of Bankruptcy. In addition to, and in no way limiting the other remedies set forth herein, Landlord and Tenant agree that if Tenant ever becomes the subject of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, reorganization, composition, or other similar type of proceeding under the federal bankruptcy laws, as now enacted or hereinafter amended, then: (a) “adequate assurance of future performance” by Tenant and/or any assignee of Tenant pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section 365 will include (but not be limited to) payment of an additional/new security deposit in the amount of three (3) times the then- current Base Rent payable monthly hereunder; (b) any person or entity to which this Lease is assigned pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be deemed, without further act or deed, to have assumed all of the obligations of Tenant arising under this Lease on and after the effective date of such assignment. Any such assignee shall, upon demand by Landlord, execute and deliver to Landlord an instrument confirming such assumption of liability; (c) notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, all amounts payable by Tenant to or on behalf of Landlord under this Lease, whether or not expressly denominated as “Rent”, shall constitute “rent” for the purposes of Section 502(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (d) if this Lease is assigned to any person or entity pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, any and all monies or other considerations payable or otherwise to be delivered to Landlord or Agent (including Base Rent, Additional Rent and other amounts hereunder), shall be and remain the exclusive property of Landlord and shall not constitute property of Tenant or of the bankruptcy estate of Tenant. Any and all monies or other considerations constituting Landlord’s property under the preceding sentence not paid or delivered to Landlord or Agent shall be held in trust by Tenant or Tenant’s bankruptcy estate for the benefit of Landlord and shall be promptly paid to or turned over to Landlord.

Landlord’s Default. If Landlord shall fail to make a repair or comply with any of its obligations under this Lease and Landlord shall not commence the cure of the failure within thirty (30) days after Tenant gives notice of the failure (or such shorter time if reasonably required to conduct Tenant’s business in the Premises), or if Landlord fails to diligently prosecute the cure, Landlord shall be in default under this Lease. If Landlord is in Default under this Lease, Tenant may cure Landlord’s default for the account and at the expense of Landlord and render a bill to Landlord for such reasonable expenses. If Landlord fails to pay the bill within ten (10) days after it is rendered, Tenant shall be entitled to deduct such expenses from payments of Rent and other charges due with interest at the rate set forth in Section 22.3 above.

Landlord covenants, warrants and represents that the broker set forth in Section 1.9(B) was the only broker to represent Landlord in the negotiation of this Lease (“Landlord’s Broker”). Landlord shall pay a brokerage commission pursuant to a separate agreement with Tenant’s Broker. Each party agrees to and hereby does defend, indemnify and hold the other harmless against and from any brokerage commissions or finder’s fees or claims therefor by a party claiming to have dealt with the indemnifying party and all costs, expenses and liabilities in connection therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, for any breach of the foregoing.

The matter shall be heard by a panel of three arbitrators if the sum in question exceeds $100,000 in the aggregate. If the sum in question is less than $100,000, then the matter shall be heard by one arbitrator.

Tenant shall pay the balance due to Landlord within thirty (30) days of the issuance of the Award.

Work Letter Agreement

 

THIS WORK LETTER AGREEMENT (this “Work Letter”) is in addition to the terms and conditions set forth in and is made a part of the Building Lease (the “Lease”) by and between Butler North, LLC, a Minnesota limited liability company (“Landlord”), and QUMU Corporation, a Minnesota corporation (“Tenant”).

 

1.             Terms Defined. In addition to the other terms defined in this Work Letter and elsewhere in the Lease, the following terms used in this Work Letter and elsewhere in the Lease have the following meanings:

 

(a)           “Tenant Allowance” means $533,696.00. At Tenant’s request, Landlord shall increase the Tenant Allowance up to an additional sum of $154,944.00 (the “Additional Allowance”) within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s request, provided that such request is made prior to the Commencement Date or such earlier date if Tenant reasonably determines that it needs the Additional Allowance for payment against its share of the cost of the Tenant Improvement Work. Such Additional Allowance shall be treated in the same manner as the Tenant Allowance, provided, however, Tenant shall repay the Additional Allowance in equal monthly installments as Additional Rent over the Lease Term from the Commencement Date to the Expiration Date. The Additional Allowance shall be amortized on a straight line basis from the Commencement Date to the Expiration Date using an 8.00% interest rate. In the event Tenant does receive an Additional Allowance, Landlord and Tenant shall enter into an amendment to the Lease reflecting the additional payments due by reason of the Additional Allowance.

 

(b)           “Punchlist Items” means any minor details of construction and mechanical adjustments the non-completion of which do not, either individually or in the aggregate, interfere in any material way with Tenant’s, or any Permitted Transferee’s, occupancy of the Premises for the conduct of its business.

 

(c)           “Substantial Completion”, “Substantially Complete”, or “Substantially Completing” means that (i) Landlord has completed the Tenant Improvement Work and Landlord’s Work except for items set forth in the punch list affixed to the Acceptance Certificate (as depicted in Exhibit E) and (ii) Landlord shall have each delivered a temporary certificate of occupancy or such permit that is necessary to permit use of the Premises for the uses permitted under the Lease (not including, however, any such certificate or permit that requires completion of the Tenant Work by Tenant).

 

(d)           “Tenant Improvement Work” means all leasehold improvements and finishes to the Premises required so that the Premises are delivered to Tenant in Turn-Key Condition, which are to be completed by Landlord in accordance with this Work Letter.

 

(e)           “Turn-Key Condition” means the condition contemplated by the Tenant Construction Documents, but expressly excluding any furniture and equipment, Tenant’s

 

    	C-1

    	 

    
 

 

 audio/visual systems and equipment, Tenant’s information technology systems and equipment (including cabling).

 

(f)            “Landlord’s Work” shall mean the work set forth on Exhibit C-1. During the course of Landlord’s Work, Landlord shall notify Tenant when the electrical wiring will be installed and provide Tenant with the full opportunity to coordinate with Landlord to install, at the same time, cabling to service the Premises, provided, however, that the cost of purchasing and installing the electrical wiring shall be included in Tenant Improvement Work.

 

2.              General Contractor; Design of Tenant Improvement Work; Budget.

 

(a)           Landlord and Tenant shall each perform their respective obligations hereunder within the time frames and by the deadlines set forth herein. Tenant shall hire an architect (“Tenant Architect”) to prepare the plans and specifications for the Tenant Improvement Work. Tenant Architect shall also prepare construction documents for the Tenant Improvement Work and engage structural consultants as Tenant Architect shall determine necessary to complete the construction documents. Landlord acknowledges that Tenant has delivered design development drawings dated February 26, 2015 (“Design Development Drawings”). Landlord or Landlord’s Contractor will provide Tenant with its best estimate of the construction cost based upon the Design Development Drawings (“Preliminary Budget”) on or before March 10, 2015. The parties shall work collaboratively to develop a revised set of Plans and to determine a revised budget (the “Revised Preliminary Budget”). Tenant shall continue to coordinate with Landlord, as applicable, to refine the final set of construction documents (“Tenant Construction Documents”) which shall be completed by March 25, 2015, and submitted to Landlord. Landlord may act as general contractor, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

(b)           The Tenant Construction Documents shall include design details for the Tenant Improvement Work, including, without limitation, finish schedules, material submittals, graphics and signage, interior and demising partitions, doors, frames and hardware, ceilings, lights and switches, lighting lay out, telephone and electrical outlets, floor coverings, wall coverings, all millwork and built ins, appliances, plumbing fixtures, refrigeration equipment, reflected ceiling plans, and other equipment, equipment connections and facilities attached to and forming a part of the Building and such other reasonably sufficient information as Tenant Architect shall determine. Within five (5) days of the date of receipt of Tenant Construction Documents (“5 Day Objection Period”), Landlord shall examine same to determine (x) constructability, (y) completeness and sufficiency of detail of the Construction Documents to enable Landlord to construct the Tenant Improvement Work in accordance with the Plans, including any lack of coordination between plans submitted by Tenant Architect and its consultants, (z) accuracy of the Plans to reflect proper found conditions (“Landlord Construction Objections”). Tenant and Tenant Architect shall respond to any questions, clarifications or concerns that Landlord might raise in connection with the Tenant Construction Documents and shall collaborate to further refine the Tenant Construction Documents and budget in response to any value engineering prompted by budget issues. Landlord and Tenant, and their representatives, shall meet as often as either side may request to facilitate Tenant’s revision of the Tenant Construction Documents and budget so that, in all events, the final approval of Tenant Construction Documents by Landlord shall be done no later than five days after the expiration of the 5 Day Objection Period. Both Landlord and Tenant shall reasonably consent to the final Tenant Construction Documents, 

 

    	C-2

    	 

    
 

 

but the responsibility for the construction of the Tenant Construction Documents shall rest solely and exclusively with Landlord.

 

(c)           Notwithstanding the delivery of the Tenant Construction Documents to Landlord and the commencement of the 5 day Objection Period, Landlord shall have, during each stage of the design process, familiarized itself with all plans both from the architect and the Landlord’s mechanical, electrical, safety and plumbing consultants and Landlord shall have made any major comments, objections or suggestions during each phase of the process so that the presentation of the final Tenant Construction Documents shall have reflected Landlord’s prior material comments.

 

(d)           Landlord shall prepare the bid packages with the assistance and reasonable consent of Tenant Architect or Tenant’s representative and shall cause the subcontractors and Landlord, where applicable, to submit bids to the Landlord by April 10, 2015. Tenant may select at least one subcontractor to bid on each trade of Tenant Improvement Work. Landlord shall select the other bidders for each subcontractor material scope of work, so that there are a minimum of three bidders for each material scope of work. If there is work that the Landlord intends to perform directly, Landlord shall bid that work out nevertheless, with the Landlord designated as one of the bidders. If any subcontractor fails to submit a bid, Landlord and Tenant may designate a replacement subcontractor. Landlord shall provide each subcontractor with such materials as the subcontractor shall reasonably request to submit its respective bid. All requests for bid shall be given simultaneously to all subcontractors promptly after completion of the Tenant Construction Documents and selection of subcontractors. Landlord shall cause each subcontractor to submit its bid by the date set forth above. In the event Landlord, pursuant to the terms herein, may act as General Contractor or perform any work hereunder, Tenant shall not object to the performance of such work by any affiliate of Landlord, provided, that (w) such affiliate is the lowest responsible bidder pursuant to section (e) below and (x) Landlord shall control such affiliate and (y) Landlord shall guaranty all of the obligations of such affiliate with respect to the work performed by such entity and (z) such entity agrees to be bound by the terms hereof.

 

(e)           Within two (2) business days of receipt of all the bids (i.e. April 14, 2015 if bids are submitted on April 10, 2015), Landlord shall level all the bids and review same with Tenant and Tenant’s representatives. Subject to the reasonable consent of Tenant, after clarifying any questions arising from the bids, Landlord shall select the lowest bidder, provided, that if Landlord objects to the lowest bidder, Landlord may select a subcontractor whose cost is more provided, however the difference in cost between the lowest bid and the selected bid is paid by Landlord.

 

(f)           Within three (3) business days from the leveling of the bids (i.e. April 17, 2015), Landlord shall propose a guaranteed maximum price (the “GMP”) which shall include a general contractor fee of four percent (4%) of the GMP, which shall include all personnel except for the project manager and job superintendent, whose cost shall be in the general conditions (“General Conditions”). The General Conditions shall be agreed upon in good faith by Landlord and Tenant, based upon custom and practice in the Minneapolis office market, including customary warranties and representations as well as customary duties and responsibilities of the general contractor, including, but not limited to, supervision (project management and job 

 

    	C-3

    	 

    
 

 

superintendant), permit fees, site safety, security, insurance, rubbish clean-up and removal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, fee charged under the General Conditions shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the GMP. If Tenant wishes to reduce the GMP, Tenant shall provide detailed direction on what modifications need to be made to the Tenant Construction Documents to reduce the GMP to an acceptable price for Tenant. Landlord shall then take whatever action is reasonably necessary to revise the GMP, in consultation with Tenant Architect. The parties shall confer to the extent necessary to arrive at a GMP acceptable to Tenant by no later than April 25, 2015. There shall be no increases to the GMP (other than those resulting from Tenant requested changes in the Tenant Improvement Work) unless approved by Tenant, which approval may be withheld in Tenant’s sole discretion. Tenant shall respond to a request to increase the GMP within three (3) Business Days, and, if Tenant fails to so respond, the request shall be deemed denied.

 

(g)           Failure of Tenant to deliver to Landlord the Design Development Documents or the Tenant Construction Documents within the time frames provided above, or (ii) approve the GMP (and any revisions thereto) within the time frames provided above shall each constitute a Tenant Delay (as hereinafter defined). Failure of Landlord to deliver or respond to documents or approvals required by Landlord hereunder shall not constitute a Tenant Delay. Landlord shall indemnify, defend and hold Tenant harmless for any failure of the Landlord to fulfill its obligations in a timely manner.

 

(h)           Landlord shall file the Tenant Construction Documents and obtain all necessary permits for the Tenant Improvement Work from the appropriate governmental agencies, at Tenant’s expense, but subject to reimbursement by the Tenant Allowance, prior to commencement of the Tenant Improvement Work.

 

(i)            Any change to the Tenant Construction Documents (including, without limitation, materials and specifications included therein) shall be subject to the prior written approval of both Landlord (whose approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and Tenant (whose approval, if approval shall pertain to aesthetics or quality of materials provided, may be withheld, in Tenant’s sole discretion, and, with respect to changes due to field conditions or Legal Requirements, Tenant’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.) Landlord shall respond to any request to change the Tenant Construction Documents within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such request from Tenant and failure to respond within such time shall be deemed Landlord’s approval thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall have no right to object to any changes to the Tenant Construction Documents which are solely related to the aesthetics or decorative elements of the Tenant Improvement Work. In the event Landlord approves a request by Tenant for revisions to the Tenant Construction Documents, within three (3) Business Days, Landlord shall submit an estimate to Tenant in writing of the cost and schedule adjustment thereof, and Landlord shall have no obligation to effect such changes unless Tenant agrees in writing to the cost and schedule adjustment resulting from such changes. If Tenant approves such estimate and schedule adjustment, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing within three (3) Business Days of Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s submission, and any adjustment in the schedule associated with such approved revisions to the Tenant Construction Documents shall constitute a Tenant Delay. If Tenant shall fail to approve such estimate within three (3) Business Days after submission thereof, such failure shall be deemed disapproval by Tenant and Landlord shall not be required to make any such change to the Tenant Construction Documents. 

 

    	C-4

    	 

    
 

 

Any approved changes shall be referred to as a “Change Order”, and the GMP shall be deemed to be adjusted by the amount of the Change Order.

 

In the event that Landlord initiates a Change Order Request, Landlord shall provide Tenant, in writing, with detailed information regarding (i) the reason for the requested Change Order and (ii) the impact of the Change Order on the overall project cost and schedule. Tenant shall respond to any Landlord request to change the Tenant Construction Documents within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such request from Landlord and failure to respond within such time shall be deemed Tenant’s disapproval thereof. If Tenant approves a Landlord requested Change Order, any delay in the project schedule which results from such request shall not be deemed to be a Tenant Delay and Tenant shall have no liability to such delay.

 

3.              GMP; Performance of Work.

 

(a)           Landlord shall provide that the Tenant Improvement Work will be completed in accordance with all Legal Requirements, in a first class, good and workmanlike manner using new, first class materials and in accordance with the Tenant Construction Documents. Landlord shall complete the Tenant Improvement Work to the Turn-Key Condition and as otherwise required by the terms of this Lease.

 

(b)           Landlord shall maintain the records related to the Tenant Improvement Work in Minneapolis, MN, on an open book basis so that the records of actual cost are maintained in a fully auditable manner and are made available to the Tenant whenever reasonably requested for purposes of verification in connection with the Tenant Improvement Work. With respect to any Tenant Improvement Work performed directly by Landlord or its affiliate, Tenant shall accept the contract price for such work without an audit of the books and records pertaining thereto unless the work was bid on a cost plus basis.

 

(c)           Landlord shall inform Tenant of scheduled construction meetings (which shall occur on a bi-weekly basis once construction of the Tenant Improvement Work commences), along with any changes thereto. Tenant, or Tenant’s representative, shall have the right to attend and participate in Landlord’s bi-weekly construction meetings (in person or, unless such meetings are held at the site, by telephone conference) and to receive a copy of any construction meeting minutes.

 

4.              Cost of Landlord’s Work; Tenant Allowance.

 

(a)           Landlord shall substantially complete Landlord’s Work and Tenant Improvement Work by the Commencement Date as set forth in Article 1.6 of the Lease and shall deliver possession thereof to Tenant by that date. Landlord will provide Tenant with Premises consisting of 17,216 square feet of office space located on floor 3 as set forth on Exhibit B to the Lease. Landlord’s Work shall be at Landlord’s sole cost and expense.

 

(b)           As set forth in this Section, Landlord shall provide the Tenant Allowance for the Tenant Improvement Work to be used toward the costs reflected in the GMP, costs of Tenant Architect, costs of permits, and all other applicable costs associated with the construction of the Tenant Improvement Work pursuant to the Tenant Construction Documents (collectively, the “Tenant Improvement Work Costs”).

 

    	C-5

    	 

    
 

 

(c)           The Tenant Allowance will be disbursed by Landlord or directly to subcontractors, in periodic payments (not more frequently than monthly) as construction progresses, in accordance with a monthly schedule provided by Landlord. Such periodic payments shall not require the approval of Tenant, so long as they are consistent with the approved GMP and in accordance herewith. In the event the GMP exceeds the Tenant Allowance, then Landlord shall first expend the Tenant Allowance; and, thereafter, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the excess over the Allowance (“Tenant’s Portion”). Landlord may bill Tenant for Tenant’s Portion no more frequently than monthly and Tenant shall have thirty days to make payments against such invoices. If the Tenant’s Improvement Work Costs exceed the GMP, Landlord shall have to pay for such overage.

 

(d)           Landlord shall provide Tenant with a written statement detailing the cost of the Tenant Improvement Work (each, an “Expense Statement”)within thirty (30) days following Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvement Work. If the total cost of the Tenant Improvement Work as reflected in the GMP approved by Tenant plus any costs due to Tenant-approved Change Orders or Tenant Delays exceeds the sum of the Tenant Allowance and any payment previously made by Tenant to Landlord, Tenant shall pay such remaining excess amount within thirty (30) days after receipt of such statement, and the same will be collectable as Additional Rent. Landlord and Tenant agree that the Tenant Allowance will be funded solely for the purpose of paying the Tenant Improvement Work Costs.

 

5.              Substantial Completion; Punchlist.

 

(a)           Landlord shall coordinate the completion of the Tenant Improvement Work, and (subject to Tenant Delays) Landlord shall secure Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvement Work by the Commencement Date as defined in Article 1.6 of the Lease. Landlord shall deliver the final certificate of occupancy or required permit for the Premises on or before ten (10) days after Substantial Completion of the Tenant Improvement Work. Landlord shall permit Tenant access to the Premises no less than thirty (30) days prior to the Delivery Date to prepare the Premises, including the information technology room, furniture and voice, data cabling for occupancy. Notwithstanding the above, Landlord shall deliver any permits or consents required for Tenant to use the Premises for the purposes intended herein on or before the Substantial Completion. In the event Landlord shall deliver a temporary certificate of occupancy, Landlord shall work to promptly secure a permanent certificate of occupancy and shall reimburse Tenant for any additional, reasonable costs incurred in connection with maintaining the temporary certificate of occupancy until the issuance of the permanent certificate of occupancy.

6.              Tenant Delays. If (a) Tenant fails to furnish the Tenant Construction Documents in accordance with Section 2, or (b) Landlord is delayed in Substantially Completing the Tenant Improvement Work as a result of:

 

(i)           Tenant’s request for materials, finishes or installations other than those which are readily available and will not cause a delay (provided that Landlord shall notify Tenant within five (5) days following Landlord’s receipt of the request for such materials which shall give the Tenant the opportunity to request readily available materials instead). Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant Delay shall include any delay due to Tenant’s efforts to obtain LEED certification for the Premises; or

 

(ii)          Tenant’s failure to approve cost estimates in the time frames provided above; or

 

(iii)         Tenant’s requested Change Orders to the Tenant Construction Documents (Change Orders do not include budget changes prior to approval of the GMP); or

 

(iv)        Tenant’s interference with the construction of the Tenant Improvement Work during Tenant Improvement Work within the Premises (whether Tenant’s Work is performed by Tenant or its contractor or a subcontractor), provided, however, that Landlord has notified Tenant contemporaneously that such conduct is delaying the Tenant Improvement Work; or

 

(v)          Tenant’s failure to pay the Tenant Portion of the Tenant Improvement Work Costs or the costs in excess of the Tenant Allowance for which Tenant is responsible within the time frame specified above; then the foregoing shall be deemed a “Tenant Delay” and Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord, in addition to any sum due hereunder, a sum equal to any reasonably documented additional cost to Landlord in completing the Tenant Improvement Work resulting from any of the foregoing failures, acts or omissions of Tenant. Any such sums may be collected by Landlord as Additional Rent from time to time, within thirty (30) days of demand, and in default of payment thereof, Landlord will (in addition to all other remedies) have the same rights as in the event of default of payment of Monthly Rent. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord shall notify Tenant with specificity of any alleged Tenant Delay pursuant to this Section 6, in writing, within five (5) Business Days following the occurrence thereof, and in the event Tenant shall fail to give timely notice of a Tenant Delay or Tenant cures such Tenant Delay within three (3) Business Days after notice thereof, such event shall not be deemed to constitute a Tenant Delay under this Section 6. Any failure of Landlord to comply with the terms of this Work Letter shall not be deemed a Tenant Delay.

 

7.              Tenant’s Work.

 

(a)           Tenant will, at its sole cost and expense, pay for and arrange for the installation of all Tenant’s furniture, fixtures, and equipment associated with its business, Tenant’s audio/visual systems and equipment, Tenant’s information technology systems (including cabling) and equipment and any security system (collectively, “Tenant’s Work.

During such period (i) Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to schedule the performance of the Tenant Improvement Work simultaneously with Tenant’s Work, including installation of the telecommunications equipment and Tenant shall cooperate reasonably with Landlord in connection therewith, (ii) Tenant shall comply with all terms and conditions of the Lease, other than the obligation to pay rent, utilities or any other Building charges during such access and (iii) Tenant shall not interfere with or in any way delay Landlord’s completion of the Tenant Improvement Work.

 

(b)           Tenant shall have the right, at no charge (including without limitation for any overtime use, operator costs, or repair and maintenance, but excepting charges for repair and maintenance resulting from Tenant’s negligence or willful misconduct), to the common non-exclusive use of one (1) service elevator designated by Landlord to facilitate the completion of Tenant’s Work and move into the Premises, with the understanding that Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in allowing Landlord to utilize such elevators to the extent needed to complete the Tenant Improvement Work within the time periods required by the Lease.

 

(c)           In the event any asbestos containing materials located within the Premises are to be disturbed in connection with the performance of Tenant Improvement Work, Landlord agrees to remove such materials in accordance with Legal Requirements, at Landlord’s sole cost and expense, the cost of which shall not be reimbursed from the Tenant Allowance, and to coordinate such work with Tenant’s prosecution of Tenant Improvement Work.

Except as otherwise provided in paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Agreement, the Lease, and all rights of Tenant under the Lease and to the Real Estate, including without limitation any option to purchase or otherwise acquire title to the Real Estate, are hereby subjected and subordinated, and shall remain in all respects and for all purposes subject and subordinate, to the lien of the Mortgage and to the rights and interest of Mortgagee and its successors and assigns, as fully and with the same effect as if the Mortgage had been duly executed, acknowledged and recorded, and the indebtedness secured thereby had been fully disbursed prior to the execution of the Lease or possession of the Real Estate by Tenant, or its predecessors in interest.

 

    	F-1

    	 

    
 

 

	
2.

	
Mortgagee Not to Disturb Tenant. Mortgagee agrees that so long as Tenant is not in default (beyond any period given Tenant under the Lease to cure such default) in the payment of rent or additional rent or in the performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease on Tenant’s part to be performed, Mortgagee will not join Tenant as a party defendant in any action or proceeding foreclosing the Mortgage unless required to foreclose the Mortgage and then only for such purpose and not for the purpose of terminating the Lease, and further, that in the event of a foreclosure Tenant’s possession of the Real Estate and Tenant’s rights and privileges under the Lease, or any extensions or renewals thereof which may be effected in accordance with the Lease, shall not be diminished or interfered with by Mortgagee and Tenant’s occupancy of the Real Estate shall not be disturbed by Mortgagee.

4.

	
Mortgagee Not Bound by Certain Acts of Landlord. If Mortgagee shall succeed to the interest of Landlord under the Lease, Mortgagee shall not be liable for any act or omission of Landlord; nor subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against Landlord; nor bound by any rent or additional rent which Tenant might have paid for more than the then current installment (unless otherwise expressly provided under the terms of the Lease); nor bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease made without Mortgagee’s consent. In no circumstances shall Mortgagee be liable for any failure of Landlord to complete construction of the premises subject to the Lease.

 

	
5.

	
Payment of Rent After Default. If an Event of Default occurs under the Mortgage, Mortgagee may demand all rents due pursuant to the Lease be paid directly to it and, upon such demand in writing, Tenant will remit all such rent payments to Mortgagee, or its order, until otherwise notified by Mortgagee in writing, which payments shall be credited against Tenant’s rental obligations due under the terms of the Lease.
