3.             TERM

 

3.1           Initial Term.  The
term of this Sublease Agreement shall be for eighty-five (85) months commencing
on April 1, 2005 and terminating on April 27, 2012, unless sooner
terminated as provided in this Sublease Agreement (the “Initial Term”).  However, Sublessee shall be allowed full

shall apply to all activities of Sublessee during this preparation and move-in
phase.

 

3.2           Renewal Term.  Provided that this Sublease
Agreement is in full force and effect and Sublessee is not in default under the
terms of this Sublease Agreement, and the Premises are occupied by Sublessee’s
subsidiary named herein, Sublessor hereby grants to Sublessee the option to
extend the Initial Term (the “Renewal Option”) for one period of five (5) years
(the “Renewal Term”), on the same terms and conditions contained in this
Sublease Agreement except as follows:

 

(a)           Sublesee’s obligation to pay rent, taxes,
utilities and any other expense as a result of occupying and using the Premises
shall be on the same terms conditions as Sublessor’s obligations to pay such
amounts to the Landlord as set forth in the Prime Lease (on a pro rata basis

The Initial Term, as
extended by the Renewal Term (if applicable), shall be referred to as the “Term”.

shall mutually agree.   In the event that
Sublessor chooses to not renew the Prime Lease and advises Sublessee to this
effect by July 15, 2011, Sublessee shall give written notice to Landlord

services, pest control services), common systems repairs such as HVAC,
electrical and plumbing, real estate taxes, and the following utilities:  gas, fuel, heat, water, sewer, electricity.  Sublessor agrees that its janitorial service

normal office usage (such as would be the case with Sublesee’s 24x7 monitoring
call center) as determined by Sublessor’s electricity bills for the month or
months in question.  If there is an
excess exceeding 140% for a month or series of months taking into consideration
seasonal changes in Minnesota, Sublessor reserves the right to include and
Sublessee shall pay upon receipt of an invoice, a charge based on such excess
as determined by Sublessor in its good faith estimation based upon Sublessor’s
electricity bills.  At Sublessee’s
request, Sublessor shall share with Sublessee copies of past and current
electricity bills used in determining any excess electricity usage.

 

(c)           Care of the Premises pursuant to Section 8;

stated herein.

the event any monthly installment of Rent is not paid within ten (10) days
of the date when due, a late charge in an amount equal to the late charge
assessed against Sublessor for the Premises (such late charge also referred to

7.3           Sublessor’s Contribution to Improvements.  Upon
completion of the Improvements, and provided Sublessee has submitted to
Sublessor an itemized list of the cost of the Improvements for actual work
performed certified by the CFO of Sublessee, Sublessor shall contribute up to
$150,000 to the cost of constructing such improvements.  If the cost of the improvements exceed
Sublessor’s contribution, Sublessee shall have the sole responsibility for the
payment of the excess cost.  Sublessee
may request at anytime that portions of the Sublessor’s contribution be paid
out prior to the completion of the Improvements for direct payment to any
contractor or vendor upon the submission to Sublessor of invoices for work
performed or to be performed setting forth the name and address of the payee,
the work performed or to be performed, the amount of payment, and other
relevant information as may be reasonably requested by Sublessor. If, after
completing its Improvements, there remains a surplus from the $150,000,
Sublessee and Sublessor agree that Sublessee may apply such surplus to the
purchase of additional modular furniture.

 

7.4           Lien Prohibition. 
Sublessee expressly acknowledges and agrees to perform the obligations
under Section 11.3 of the Prime Lease as such relates to the Improvements;

the Premises, Building or Property.

 

8.             CARE OF PREMISES.

 

8.1           No Damage or Alterations. 
Sublessee agrees that it will take reasonable care of the Premises, the
Building, and the Property and the fixtures and the appurtenances thereto.  Sublessee will permit no waste, and will not
do, suffer or permit to be done any injury to the Premises, the Building, and
the Property, and the fixtures and the appurtenances thereto. With the
exception of normal and customary wear and tear, Sublessee shall immediately
repair at its cost and expense any damage to the Premises, the Building, and
the Property, and the fixtures and the appurtenances thereto, if caused by
Sublesee’s employees, agents, independent contractors, visitors, guest or
customers or other person on site for Sublessee purposes howsoever caused by
(unless conclusively caused by Sublessor, its 
employees, agents, independent contractors, visitors, guest or customers
or other person on site for Sublessor purposes howsoever caused by) and restore
the damaged portion to the same condition prior to such damage. Sublessee
agrees that it will not do, suffer or permit to be done any act or thing
contrary to the covenants and agreements made by Sublessor in the Prime Lease
with respect to the Premises, the Building, or the Property.  Sublessee agrees that it will not suffer or
permit any additions to or alterations of the Premises except in accordance
with Section 7 of this Sublease Agreement

 

8.2           Upkeep of Interiors.  With
the exception of normal wear and tear, Sublessee shall at its expense maintain
and preserve the interiors of the Premises in the order, condition and state of
repair as delivered to Sublessee. 
Sublessor is responsible for all other repairs and maintenance,
including structural and non-structural repairs and replacements, and
preventive maintenance, to the Premises required of “tenant” in clauses 13 and 14
of the Prime Lease.  When Sulblessee
determines that repairs for which Sublessor is responsible are required,
Sublessee shall provide written notice to Sublessor of the specific repairs or
maintenance that is required and Sublessor shall have five days following
receipt of such notice to complete such repairs or maintenance.  In an emergency situation, Sublessee shall
notify Sublessor of the situation requiring immediate attention.  Upon receipt of such notification, Sublessor
shall ensure that an appropriately licensed contractor response and repairs the
equipment giving rise to the emergency situation on the same day that the
emergency occurred.  If Sublessor fails
to make any such repairs or maintain the Premises as required of “tenant”
pursuant to clauses 13 and 14 of the Prime Lease during the time frames
provided in this clause, Sublessee may secure such repairs or maintenance and
deduct the cost of such repairs or maintenance from future rent payments.

10.          INSURANCE.

 

10.1         Sublessor’s Insurance. 
Sublessor shall maintain insurance in accordance with its obligations
under the Prime Lease.

 

10.2         Sublessee Insurance. 
Sublessee shall purchase at its own expense and keep in force during the
Term a policy or policies of (i) “All-risk” property insurance covering
its contents on or about the Premises, the Improvements and the Leased Property
(and otherwise resulting from any acts or operations of Sublessee); (ii) commercial
general liability insurance, including personal injury and property damage, in
the amount of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence
and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) annual general aggregate per location,
and comprehensive automobile liability insurance in the amount of One Million
Dollars ($1,000,000.00) covering Sublessee against any losses arising out of
liability for personal injuries or deaths of persons and property damage
occurring in or about the Premises, the Property, in the Building or elsewhere;
and (iii) Worker’s Compensation insurance in amounts required by
applicable law.  Said policies shall (a) (except
Workers’ Compensation) name Sublessor, Landlord, and any party holding an
interest to which this Sublease Agreement maybe subordinated as additional
insureds, (b) be issued by an insurance company with a Best rating of A-X
or better and otherwise reasonably acceptable to Sublessor and licensed to do
business in the state in which the Premises are located, (c) provide that
said insurance shall not be canceled or materially modified unless thirty (30)
days’ prior written notice shall have been given to Sublessor, (d) provide
coverage on an occurrence basis; (e) contain a severability of insured
parties provision and a cross liability endorsement; (g) be primary, not
contributing with, and not in excess of coverage which Sublessor or Landlord
may carry; (h) include a fire endorsement; and (i) otherwise be in
such form and include such coverages as Sublessor may reasonably require.  Said policy or policies or, at Sublessor’s
option, a certificate of insurance on the so-called “ACORD” form 27 evidencing
said policies, shall be delivered to Sublessor and Landlord by Sublessee upon
commencement of the Sublease Agreement and renewals thereof shall be delivered
at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of said insurance.  Sublessor and Sublessee agree that Sublessee
shall insure the furniture of Sublessor that Sublessee is using which has an
approximate replacement value of $435,500.00.

 

10.3         Waiver of Subrogation.  To
the extent permitted by law, and without affecting the coverage provided by
insurance required to be maintained hereunder Sublessor and Sublessee each
waive any right to recover against the other (a) damages for injury to or
death of persons, (b) damages to property, (c) damages to the
Premises or any part thereof or (d) claims arising by reason of the
foregoing, to the extent such damages and claims are insured against or
required to be insured against by Sublessor or Sublessee under this Sublease
Agreement and to the extent that insurance proceeds are received.  This provision is intended to waive, fully
and for the benefit of each party, any rights and/or claims which might give
rise to a right of subrogation by any insurance carrier.  The

 

6

 

coverage obtained by
Sublessee pursuant to this Sublease Agreement shall include, if obtainable, a
waiver of subrogation by the carrier which conforms to the provisions of this
section.

 

11.          EVENT OF DEFAULT.

 

11.1         Event of Default. Without limiting the other terms and provisions of
this Sublease Agreement, each of the following shall constitute an event of
default by Sublessee under this Sublease Agreement (each a “Default”):

 

(a) if Sublessee fails to pay Rent or any other
payment when due hereunder; or

 

(b) if Sublessee fails, whether by action or
inaction, to timely comply with, or satisfy, any or all of the obligations
imposed on Sublessee under this Sublease Agreement (other than the obligation
to pay Rent) for a period of thirty (30) days after Sublessor’s delivery to
Sublessee of written notice of such default; provided however, that if the
default cannot, by its nature, be cured within such thirty (30) day cure
period, then Sublessor shall not exercise its remedies under Section 12
unless such default remains uncured for more than sixty (60) days after
Sublessor’s notice, or

 

(c)  If Sublessee makes an assignment for the
benefit of creditors, or files a voluntary petition under any state or federal
bankruptcy or insolvency law, or an involuntary petition alleging an act of
bankruptcy or insolvency is filed against Sublessee under any state or federal
bankruptcy or insolvency law that is not dismissed within ninety (90) days, or
whenever a petition is filed by or against (to the extent not dismissed within
ninety (90) days) Sublessee under the reorganization provisions of the United
States Bankruptcy Code or under the provisions of any law or like import, or whenever
a petition shall be filed by Sublessee under the arrangement provisions of the
United States Bankruptcy Code or similar law, or whenever a receiver of
Sublessee, or of, or for, the property of Sublessee shall be appointed, or
Sublessee admits it is insolvent or is not able to pay its debts as they
mature.

 

12.          RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

 

12.1         Sublessor’s Right to Cure Upon Default of
Sublessee.  In the event of any Default by Sublessee,
Sublessor, without thereby waiving such default, may (but shall not be obligated
to) perform the same for the account, and at the expense of, Sublessee.

 

12.2         Sublessor’s Remedies.  In
the event of any Default by Sublessee, Sublessor, at its option, and after the
proper notice and cure period, as provided in Section 11 (if applicable)
has expired, may, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided in this
Sublease Agreement, or otherwise at law or in equity, terminate this Agreement
and Sublessee’s right of possession of the Premise, and recover all damages to
which Sublessor is entitled under Minnesota law.

 

12.3         Other Provisions. 
Sections 22.3 and 22.4 of the Prime Lease shall apply as if Sublessor is
“landlord” and Sublessee is “tenant”.

 

13.          BROKER

 

Sublessor
shall pay the broker’s fees for each of Sublessor’s and Sublessee’s brokers
named in Section 1.11 of this Sublease Agreement.  Each party agrees to and hereby does defend,
indemnify and hold the other party harmless against and from any brokerage
commissions or finder’s fees or claims therefor by a broker (other than the
brokers named in Section 1.11) or other 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 foregoing indemnification shall survive the termination of this
Sublease Agreement for any reason.
