             5.           Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes.  During the Term, the Extension Term, and any Option Term (as defined below), Tenant shall pay Tenant’s Share of Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses for the Premises in the amount indicated in the Lease.

6.           Security.

a)  Letter of Credit.  Until the Effective Date and the date that Tenant provides to Landlord a fully enforceable New Letter of Credit as defined herein, the Letter of Credit referenced in paragraph 5.1 of the Lease (“Initial Letter of Credit”) shall remain in full force and effect.   Tenant agrees and understands that this Amendment is conditioned upon Landlord’s receipt of the fully executed letter of credit substantially in the form as set forth on Exhibit A (“New Letter of Credit”) attached hereto simultaneously upon execution of this Amendment.  In the event Landlord has not received a fully executed New Letter of Credit in satisfaction with these terms by said date, this Amendment shall be null and void at Landlord’s option.  The New Letter of Credit shall be issued in the amount of $300,000.00.  The amount of the New Letter of Credit shall, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the form on Exhibit B, be reduced as follows:  to $240,000.00 on August 1, 2011; to $180,000.00 on August 1, 2012; to $120,000.00 on August 1, 2013; and to $60,000.00 on August 1, 2014.

Landlord may draw on the New Letter of Credit upon prior notice to Tenant and upon submission of a certificate of Landlord, certifying the following: (i) that Tenant has defaulted under the Lease and or this Amendment (describing with specificity Tenant's default under a specific provision of the Lease or this Amendment), (ii) that Landlord has provided notice to Tenant of such default as required by the Lease, (iii) that the applicable cure period has passed, and (iv) describing Landlord's actual monetary damage due to said default.

So long as Tenant is not in default under the Lease or this Amendment, the New Letter of Credit shall be released on August 1, 2015.

Provided Tenant is not in default under the Lease or this Amendment, and so long as Landlord has received the executed and enforceable New Letter of Credit as provided herein, Landlord shall release the Initial Letter of Credit on the Effective Date.

b)           Security Deposit.  As of the Effective Date, and so long as Tenant has provided to Landlord the New Letter of Credit described in 6 a) above, the language in paragraph 5.2 of the Lease shall be deleted in its entirety and the following shall apply in its place:

“Upon release of the New Letter of Credit described in this Amendment, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord $13,521.37 as security for Tenant's faithful performance of its obligations under the Lease and this Amendment.  If Tenant fails to pay rent or other charges due under the Lease or this Amendment, or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of the Lease and this Amendment, Landlord may use, apply, or retain all or any portion of said deposit for the payment of any rent or other charge in default or for the payment of any other sum to which Landlord may become obligated by reason of Tenant's default, or to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage that Landlord may suffer thereby.  If Landlord so uses or applies all or any portion of said deposit, Tenant shall within ten (10) days after written demand therefor deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore said deposit to the full amount then required of Tenant.  Landlord shall not be required to keep said security deposit separate from its general accounts.  If Tenant performs all of its obligations under the Lease and this Amendment, said deposit, or so much thereof as has not theretofore been applied by Landlord, shall be returned, without payment of interest or other increment for its use, to Tenant (or, at Landlord's option, to the last assignee, if any, of Tenant's interest hereunder) at the expiration of the term or any extension thereof, and after Tenant has vacated the Premises.  No trust relationship is created herein between Landlord and Tenant with respect to said security deposit.”

7.           Limited Improvements.  Tenant acknowledges that Tenant has occupied the Premises and has had ample opportunity to inspect the same.  Tenant hereby accepts the Premises and existing improvements thereto in their “AS IS” condition, provided, however, Landlord agrees, using a contractor of Landlord’s choice, to make the following limited improvements (“Limited Improvements”) to or for the benefit of the Premises, all of which shall be subject to the Limited Improvements Allowance (defined below) except as otherwise specifically provided herein:

  

2

  

a)           Installing a back-up generator and required improvements therefore, such as a concrete pad, cabling, utilities, and utility meters (collectively “Generator”) to maintain Tenant’s network operating center. Such Generator will be separately metered and all costs for the utilities and operation of the Generator shall be paid by Tenant.   Tenant shall submit plans and specifications for such Generator to Landlord as soon hereafter as reasonably possible, including but not limited to the proposed location of such Generator.  Landlord shall have the right, at its sole and absolute discretion, to approve the plans and specifications of the Generator, and once approved, the Generator and will be installed by Landlord, using a contractor of Landlord’s choice, in the location in the Industrial Center mutually agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant (“Generator Site”), on a concrete pad, which concrete pad shall also be installed by Landlord, using a contractor of Landlord’s choice.  Tenant agrees and understands that notwithstanding anything in the lease to the contrary, it shall be Tenant’s responsibility, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and at its sole risk, to: (i) repair and maintain such Generator during the Term and any extension thereof; (ii) to remove such Generator upon termination or expiration of the Lease, and (iii) repair any damage to the Industrial Center, Building, Generator Site, and/or Premises arising from the operation, repair, maintenance and/or removal of such Generator.   Landlord hereby grants to Tenant a license to access such Generator and Generator Site for the purposes of operating, maintaining, repairing, and removing the same.  Tenant shall maintain, repair and operate the Generator in accordance with all federal, state and local laws, rules and building codes. In accessing, operating, maintaining, repairing or removing the Generator, Tenant shall not do anything to negate any of Landlord’s warranties pertaining to the Industrial Center, the Building, the Generator Site, or the Premises.  Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend, protect and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, causes of action, claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs), suffered or incurred by Landlord as a result of the Generator, or from mechanics’ liens, injury to persons or damage to the Industrial Center, the Premises, Generator Site, or the Building or other property, personal or otherwise (collectively “Site”) in connection therewith, including, but not limited to losses, damages, causes of action, claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) resulting from fire, explosion, flooding, frost, steam, excessive heat or cold, sewage, gas, odors or noise.  Tenant shall conduct such use and installation of the Generator and shall otherwise enter upon the Site at its sole risk, cost, and expense, and Landlord shall not be liable for damage thereto or theft or misappropriation thereof.  In connection with the foregoing, Tenant will maintain commercial general liability insurance covering the Generator, the Generator Site, and actions by Tenant, and naming Landlord as additional insured, insuring against claims for personal injury and damage to the Generator and Generator Site with a minimum limit of $2,000,000.00 combined single limit per occurrence and in the aggregate as applicable for bodily injury, personal injury or property damage, including loss of use thereof.  Coverage shall include premises-operations, products/completed operations and contractual liability with respect to any liability assumed by Tenant hereunder.  Tenant shall supply Landlord with a certificate of proof of such insurance which complies with the policy limitations set forth above, and naming Landlord as an additional insured. Tenant will also maintain workers’ compensation or similar insurance to the extent required by law, and shall cause all of its contractors and subcontractors to comply with all of the foregoing liability and workers’ compensation insurance requirements.  The license granted as a result of the Generator shall be coterminous with the term of this Lease, provided, in the event the Generator is required to be removed by any applicable governmental agency, rule or regulation, or if the same is reasonably deemed by Landlord or any governmental agency or any insurance carrier to be a hazard to life, safety, the Industrial Center, the Building, the Premises, or any tenant or occupant thereof, Landlord shall have the right to terminate Tenant’s right to use the Generator and Generator Site upon thirty (30) days written notice, provided further that upon such termination, all indemnity and removal/repair obligations of Tenant herein shall survive. This license shall be personal to Tenant and Tenant shall not assign its rights granted for the Generator to any party without first obtaining the written approval of Landlord.  Tenant shall be required to make any repairs to the Industrial Center, the Premises, the Generator Site, or the Building necessitated by reason of the default or neglect of Tenant or by the maintenance, repair, or operation of the Generator.  Upon expiration or termination of the Lease, Tenant shall restore the Industrial Center, the Premises, the Generator Site, or the Building to the condition in which it existed prior to installation of the Generator.

b)           Installing an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) and additional cooling unit to be located in the Tenant’s data center.

c)           Upgrading all lights in the Premise to LED (high efficiency lighting) or such other additional improvements to the Premises as Tenant may specify to Landlord, subject to the Landlord’s written approval of the same and subject to the Limited Improvements Allowance (defined below).

The Limited Improvements shall be completed by Landlord, using a contractor of Landlord’s choice, within a time period and upon a schedule mutually agreeable to Landlord and Tenant, taking into consideration the cost of labor, and interference with the operations within the Premises and in or about the Generator Site, provided, however, Tenant agrees that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Landlord shall not be required to make any of the Limited Improvements to the Premises after July 31, 2011.  In connection with the foregoing, Landlord agrees to diligently pursue completion of the Limited Improvements by July 31, 2011, so long as Tenant cooperates with Landlord to approve any necessary plans, specifications, and schedule for such Limited Improvements.

  

3

  

     8.           Cost of Limited Improvements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein or in the Lease, Landlord shall not be obligated to pay more than One Hundred Ninety Thousand Eight Hundred Ninety and NO/100 Dollars ($190,890.00) (the "Limited Improvements Allowance") toward the cost of the Limited Improvements.  The balance, if any, of the cost of the Limited Improvements (“Additional Cost”), including, but not limited to, usual markups for overhead, supervision and profit, shall be paid by Tenant.  Landlord may require that Tenant pay Landlord the Additional Cost based upon Landlord’s final cost estimate of the Limited Improvements (“Final Cost Estimate”) prior to the commencement of construction of the Limited Improvements.  Any portion of the Additional Cost not paid by Tenant prior to commencement of construction of the Limited Improvements shall be paid to Landlord either to Landlord or, if Landlord so indicates, directly to the persons named as payees on supporting invoices, upon demand from Landlord and receipt of Landlord’s supporting invoices therefor.  Landlord will use reasonable care in preparing the cost estimates, but they are estimates only and do not limit Tenant’s obligation to pay for the actual Additional Cost of the Limited Improvements, whether or not it exceeds the estimated amounts.  If Landlord directs Tenant to pay such amounts directly to the persons named as payees on such invoices, Tenant shall provide Landlord with evidence of such payment within ten (10) days of Landlord's original demand.  In the event that Tenant fails to pay any amount required to be paid to Landlord pursuant to this paragraph 8 within ten (10) days of Landlord's original demand, then such amount shall bear interest at the lesser of two percent (2%) per month or the highest rate legally allowed.

The cost of the Limited Improvements shall consist of all direct and indirect "hard" and "soft" costs of designing, developing, constructing, and completing the Limited Improvements, including, without limitation, the following:

a)           The cost of preparing any construction drawings and specifications, and mechanical, electrical, and structural drawings and specifications, including the cost of any changes, additions, deletions, or alterations thereto required by either party hereto or by the Fire Department, Building or Planning Department, Building Inspector, or any other agency or authority having jurisdiction over the Industrial Center or the Limited Improvements;

b)           All permit and license fees and taxes and other governmental charges relating to the Limited Improvements;

c)           All construction management and supervision fees;

d)           All costs of labor and materials employed or used in the construction of the Limited Improvements, including, without limitation, all amounts paid to contractors, architects, engineers, subcontractors, and material men;

e)           All rental costs for necessary temporary facilities, machinery, equipment, and tools;

f)           The cost of premiums for insurance and bonds, to the extent attributable to the undertaking of the work described for the Limited Improvements; and

 

   g)           All clean-up costs and other costs associated with teh removal of debris.

   

    h)           Any and all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any delay in the commencement or completion of any Limited Improvements and any increase in the cost of Limited Improvements caused by (i) Tenant’s failure to submit information to the Landlord or approve any plans, specifications, or cost estimates within the time periods required herein or if no time period is specified herein, then within 30 days; (ii) any delays in obtaining any items or materials constituting part of the Limited Improvements requested by Tenant, (iii) any changes requested by Tenant to any final plan or specification or drawing, or (iv) any other delay requested or caused by Tenant (collectively, “Tenant Delays”).

  

4

  

If Landlord is obstructed or delayed in the commencement or completion of the Limited Improvements by flood or inclement weather, fire, earthquake, act of God, war, strike, picketing, boycott or lockout, governmental or legal intervention, governmental permit or zoning approvals, or any other cause beyond the control of Landlord, including but not limited to any changes requested by Tenant or any scheduling by Tenant or the Tenant’s operations in the Premises during the construction or completion of the Limited Improvements, then the date for completion of the Limited Improvements shall be extended for that period of time necessary to make up for the construction time loss because of any or all of the causes aforesaid, and Landlord shall have no liability of any kind whatsoever to Tenant as a result of such delay.

9.           Additional Allowance Payment.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Tenant shall continue to pay to Landlord the Additional Allowance described in paragraph 3 of the Ratification, provided, however, such paragraph shall be modified as follows:

	
a)  

	
in the Third line, the words “and throughout the Term” are hereby replaced with “and through the Initial Termination Date”; and

	
b)  

	
in the fifth line, the words “amortized over the Term” are hereby replaced with “amortized from the Commencement Date over and through the Initial Termination Date”.

10.           Option to Renew.  Paragraph 48 of the Lease shall be deleted in its entirety and the following shall apply in its place:

“48.           Option.  Subject to the terms of Article 38 of the Lease, Tenant shall have one (1) Option to extend the Term of the Lease for a period of three (3) years (“Option Term”) immediately following the Extension Term as provided in the Amendment.  The Option shall be exercised, if at all, by written notice delivered by Tenant to Landlord not later than nine (9) months prior to the end of the Extension Term.   Provided Tenant has properly and timely exercised the Option, the Extension Term shall be extended by the Option Term, and all terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease and the Amendment shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect, except for the Base Rent, which shall be adjusted to the “Fair Market Rental Value” of the Premises, as reasonably agreed upon by the Landlord and the Tenant within sixty (60) days of Tenant’s notice.  If the parties are unable to agree on “Fair Market Rental Value”, it shall be established pursuant to this Section 48.  In such case, each party shall designate an independent appraiser (the “Initial Appraisers”) to provide an estimate of “Fair Market Rental Value” (collectively, the “Initial Appraisals”).  If the “Fair Market Rental Values” described in the Initial Appraisals differ by ten percent (10%) or less, the “Fair Market Rental Value” shall be the average of the two appraised rental values.  If the “Fair Market Rental Values” described in the Initial Appraisals differ by greater than ten percent (10%), the Initial Appraisers shall designate a third independent appraiser, who shall be retained to study the Initial Appraisals and designate one Initial Appraisal value which best reflects the more accurate Fair Market Rental Value.  The costs incurred in the determination of “Fair Market Rental Value” shall be split evenly between Landlord and Tenant.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, in no event shall the Base Rent during the Option Term be less than the Base Rent payable by Tenant during the last year of the Extension Term.”

11.           Option of Early Termination.  Paragraph 51 of the Lease is hereby deleted in its entirety.

12.           Brokerage.  Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that neither it nor its officers or agents, nor any one acting on its behalf has dealt with any real estate broker in the negotiating or making of this Amendment other than Jones Lang LaSalle (“Tenant’s Broker”).  Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord, its agents, employees, partners, directors, shareholders and independent contractors harmless from all liabilities, costs, demands, judgments, settlements, claims and losses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Landlord in conjunction with any such claim or claims of any other broker or brokers claiming to have interested Tenant in the Premises or the Building, or to have caused Tenant to enter into this Amendment.  Landlord represents and warrants to Tenant that neither it nor its officers or agents, nor anyone acting on its behalf, has dealt with any real estate broker in the negotiating or making of this Amendment other than Northmarq (“Landlord’s Broker”).  The brokers’ commission and/or finders’ fees arising out of this Lease on behalf of Tenant’s Broker and Landlord’s Broker shall be paid by Landlord pursuant to a separate written agreement.

13.           Headings.  Paragraph headings used in this Amendment are for convenience only, and shall not affect the construction of this Amendment.

14.           Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which counterparts of this Amendment, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

15.           Construction.  This Amendment shall be construed under the laws of the State of Minnesota.  Whenever possible, each provision of this Amendment shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law.  If any such provision of this Amendment shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall not be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating or otherwise affecting the remaining provisions of this Amendment.

16.           Survival of Other Terms and Conditions.  Except as modified herein, all other terms and conditions of the Lease shall remain in full force and effect, and nothing herein shall be construed to relieve either Landlord or Tenant of any obligations as set forth therein.

17.           Entire Agreement.  The Lease, this Amendment, and the Exhibits attached thereto, constitute the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the transaction contemplated thereby, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to the subject matter.  No representations, warranties, undertakings or promises, whether oral, implied, written or otherwise, have been made by either party hereto to the other unless expressly stated in the above-referenced documents, or unless mutually agreed to in writing between the parties hereto after the date hereof, and neither party has relied upon any verbal representations, agreements or understandings not expressly set forth herein.

18.           Submission of Amendment.  The submission of this Amendment for examination does not constitute a reservation of or option for the Premises and this Amendment shall become effective only upon execution and delivery thereof by Landlord and Tenant.
