 BETWEEN 
  
 ALLEN ROAD PROPERTIES LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY 
  
 AND 
  
 ATRICURE, INC. 
  
 DATED December 18, 2000 

 SCHUMACHER COMMERCE PARK LEASE AGREEMENT 
  
 1. LANDLORD: ALLEN ROAD PROPERTIES LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY, an Ohio limited liability company. 
  
 2. TENANT: ATRICURE, INC., a Delaware corporation. 
  
 3. LEASE DATE: 18th day of December, 2000. 
  
 4. LOCATION AND LEASED PREMISES: Building Five of Schumacher Commerce Park in its entirety is referred to as the “Entire Premises”. The portion of Building Five
the Tenant is leasing is referred to as the “Leased Premises”. The Leased Premises is a portion of the Entire Premises and is located at 6033 Schumacher Park Drive, West Chester Township, Butler County, Ohio. The Leased Premises consists
of 7,311 square feet (3,500 sq. ft. offices and 3,811 sq. ft. of warehouse) as identified on the space plan labeled Exhibit “A”, attached to and made a part of this Lease. 
  
 5. PARKING: Passenger vehicles are to be parked in those areas designated for parking. The Landlord expressly reserves the right to assign a
limited number of parking areas to the Tenant based on Tenant’s pro rata share of the total available parking for the Entire Premises. 
  
 6. TERM OF THE LEASE: The term of this Lease will be for five (5) years. The Lease will commence on approximately March 1, 2001 and terminate on February 28, 2006. If
this Lease is executed before the Leased Premises becomes vacant, or otherwise available and ready for occupancy, or if any present tenant or occupant of the premises holds over, and Landlord cannot acquire possession of the premises prior to the
above commencement date of this Lease or if Landlord is unable to substantially complete tenant improvements as scheduled, Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default hereunder, and Tenant agrees to accept possession of the premises at such time
as Landlord is able to tender the same; and Landlord hereby waives any payment of rent covering any period prior to the tendering of possession hereunder, and the lease commencement and termination date will be adjusted accordingly. If this Lease
commences on other than the first day of the month, the lease term will be extended to the next complete month. Notwithstanding the above, this Lease shall terminate at no cost to Tenant upon the execution of a mutually agreeable Lease at market
rates by Tenant and Landlord for a new larger Leased Premises.

 7. BASE RENT AND LATE PAYMENT CHARGES: Tenant shall pay Landlord the following base rentals: 
  

							
	 Lease Year

	  	Monthly Base Rent

	  	Annual Base Rent

	 Lease Years One - Five
	  	$	3,738.42	  	$	44,861.04

  
 Rent is payable in advance, on the
first day of the month, at the office of Landlord. If rent is not received by the tenth of the month, Landlord will charge a late payment fee equal to 10% of the amount due. If the lease commencement date is other than the first day of the month,
that month’s rent shall be appropriately adjusted. 
  
 8. OPERATING COST
PARTICIPATION: Tenant is also responsible for paying for their pro-rata share of Building operating expenses, real estate taxes and Building insurance. This includes expenses such as routine maintenance, common utilities for water and exterior
lighting, landscaping, parking and truck dock lot repair, and such other expenses as are normally associated with running and maintaining a first class office, showroom, warehouse/manufacturing facility. Operating costs are a direct pass-through of
expenses which may increase or decrease from time to time in direct response to the cost of operating the Building. The operating costs will not necessarily change at the same rate as the base rent. 
  
 The total square footage of the Entire Premises is 53,577 square feet. Under this lease
agreement the Tenant will occupy 13.7% (7,311 square feet/53,577) square feet of the Building, and be responsible for paying their share of operating costs. The Landlord is responsible for paying for the operating costs of any vacant space. Landlord
estimates that operating costs through 2000 will be $ 0.85 per square foot of leased space, or a total additional rent of $517.86 per month. This estimated common area cost is billed monthly, but is adjusted on an annual calendar year basis to
reflect the actual cost experienced. Bills will be adjusted accordingly if the actual operating cost varies from the estimated cost. Tenants will receive a detailed breakdown of expenses and adjustments by May 15th of the following year.

 9. CONDITION OF LEASED PREMISES AND IMPROVEMENTS THERETO 
  
 The Leased Premises will be turned over to Tenant in “as is” condition, with the improvements shown on the Floor Plan attached
hereto as Exhibit “A” and made a part of this agreement. Tenant accepts the Leased Premises subject to all zoning and other applicable local, state and federal laws and regulations governing the use of the Premises and all covenants and
restrictions of record. If in the future Tenant wishes to make alterations to the Leased Premises, Tenant shall request and obtain Landlord’s permission prior to making any improvements. It is Tenant’s responsibility that any improvements
made by Tenant be done in accordance with applicable building code and safety requirements. Tenant shall not cause any damage to the Leased Premises or the Entire Premises or cause or allow any mechanic’s lien to be placed on the Premises.

  
 When Tenant terminates this lease, Tenant may remove trade fixtures installed
by Tenant, provided that any damage Tenant does in removing the fixtures is properly repaired. However, any lighting fixtures, ceiling, plumbing, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning equipment, as well as all other building fixtures, are
considered to be Landlord’s property, and must remain on the premises. Further, any improvements that Tenant has made to the space over and above those covered under the lease agreement must, upon Landlord’s request, be removed by Tenant
and the Leased Premises shall be repaired by Tenant to good order. 
  
 10.
UTILITIES: In addition to the monthly rentals, Tenant is responsible for and shall maintain individually metered utilities for the Leased Premises. This includes gas and electric used in connection with heating, air conditioning, and lighting. The
Landlord shall provide and pay for ordinary and domestic water service. However, any commercial or extraordinary water usage by Tenant shall be assessed and paid by Tenant. Tenant is responsible for arranging and paying for rubbish and trash removal
for the Leased Premises. Any containers and dumpsters must be kept in the dock area adjacent to the Tenant’s space, and this area must be kept clean and free of any trash or debris or stored materials. 
  
 11. SECURITY DEPOSIT: On or before the signing of the Lease Tenant shall deliver to Landlord
an initial security deposit in the amount of Three Thousand Seven Hundred Thirty Eight 42/100 Dollars ($3,738.42) as security for Tenant’s faithful performance of Tenant’s obligations hereunder. If Tenant fails to pay rent or other charges
due hereunder, or otherwise defaults with respect to any provision of this Lease, Landlord may use, apply or retain all or any portion of the deposit for the payment of 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 suffered thereby. 
  
 Page Three 

 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 the deposit to the full amount above and Tenant’s failure to do so shall be a material breach of this Lease. 
  
 Within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the term of this Lease and Tenant’s return of the Leased Premises in good order, or any
renewals thereof, Landlord shall pay over the remaining balance of the deposit to Tenant, minus any amounts due to Landlord as a result of Tenant’s failure to perform or observe any conditions or covenants of this Lease. Landlord shall not be
obligated to pay any interest on the security deposit, nor shall Landlord be required to segregate such security deposit from its other funds. 
  
 12. PERMITTED USE: Tenant will use and occupy the Leased Premises for offices and warehouse for AtriCure, Inc. or any other use which is reasonably comparable and for no
other purpose. 
  
 13. ENVIRONMENTAL: Tenant shall indemnify and save
Landlord harmless against and from any and all liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, claims, costs (including compliance and clean-up costs), charges, expenses and disbursements (including fees and expenses of attorneys, expert
witnesses, engineers, and other consultants), which may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Landlord by reason of any environmental contamination of the premises caused by Tenant or its agents or employees. Tenant shall not engage in
any activity in or about the premises that violates any federal, state or local laws, rules or regulations pertaining to hazardous or toxic materials or the environment, and shall promptly, at Tenant’s expense, take all investigatory and/or
remedial action required or ordered for clean up of any contamination of the premises or the elements surrounding same created or permitted by Tenant. 
  
 14.REPAIRS: Landlord will turn the Leased Premises over to Tenant in good working order. Thereafter, Landlord will be responsible for the maintenance of the roof,
exterior walls and gutters, and for structural repairs, unless such repairs are caused or necessitated by Tenant, its employees, customers or contractors. Additionally, Landlord shall maintain at its expense all landscaping, driveways, parking areas
and sidewalks. 
  
 The Tenant is responsible for maintaining the Leased Premises,
and for keeping the Leased Premises in good repair, unless such repairs are necessitated by the negligence of Landlord or his agents. The Tenant is responsible for maintaining the following items unless such repairs are caused or necessitated by the
negligence of the Landlord, other tenants or the Landlord’s contractors. 
  
 Page Four 

	 	(a)	all interior walls, floors and ceilings. 

  

	 	(b)	all interior glass and windows, doors, and doorframes, including all dock and garage doors, truck bumpers, and related dock devices. 

  

	 	(c)	all electrical, lighting (including exit and emergency lighting), plumbing, sprinkler heads and lines, specifically designated for, and installed for the Leased Premises, excluding,
however, all electrical and plumbing lines, pipes, wires, ducts and conduits which serve any other part of the Entire Premises other than the Leased Premises; and further provided that all such systems will be turned over to Tenant in good working
order. 

  
 If Tenant fails to perform its obligations under this
Paragraph 13 or any other provision of this Lease, Landlord may at its option enter the Leased Premises after five (5) days’ prior written notice to Tenant (except in the case of emergency, in which case no notice shall be required), perform
such obligations on Tenant’s behalf and put the Leased Premises in good order, condition and repair, and the cost thereof shall be due as additional rent to Landlord together with Tenant’s next rental installment. 
  
 15. SIGNAGE: Landlord shall provide standard identification signage for Tenant at the
entrance to the Leased Premises and in the directory signage for the Entire Premises. Tenant shall not place any additional sign upon either the Leased Premises or the Entire Premises. 
  
 16. INSURANCE: Tenant agrees to obtain and keep in force during the term of this Lease beginning at the time that Tenant enters upon the
Leased Premises for purposes of making improvements thereto, at Tenant’s sole expense, public liability insurance, to protect against any liability to the public incident to the use of or occurring on the Leased Premises or the Entire Premises
or any other premises provided for parking or other use. Such insurance shall, generally, be in form and with companies reasonably satisfactory to Landlord and shall include such endorsements and/or separate coverages as are customary in connection
with Tenant’s proposed use(s) of the Leased and Entire Premises. The liability limits under such insurance shall be not less than $2,000,000.00 for bodily or personal injury, or $500,000.00 for property damage; or a single limit of
$2,000,000.00 for bodily and personal injury and property damage combined. 
  
 Page Five 

 Tenant shall deliver to Landlord the policies of such insurance, or certificates thereof, at least fifteen (15) days
prior to the commencement of the term of this Lease, and each renewal policy or certificate thereof, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of the policy it renews. All such policies shall name Landlord, Tenant, and any mortgage holders
designated by Landlord, as co-insureds, and shall contain a clause that the insurer will not cancel or change the insurance without first giving Landlord ten (10) days’ prior written notice thereof. 
  
 It shall be the responsibility of the Tenant to obtain adequate insurance coverage for all
furniture, fixtures, furnishings, equipment, materials, supplies, or other personal property located on the Leased Premises. 
  
 It is the Landlord’s responsibility to keep in place fire and extended hazard coverage on the Entire Premises. Property damage insurance shall be maintained by
Landlord, based on a building replacement cost of no less than $1,200,000.00 for the Entire Premises, and have limits of liability as are customary with respect to similar properties, and, in any event, will be of sufficient amount and value so as
to avoid coinsurance. Should Tenant’s use of the premises result in a higher risk rating for the Entire Premises, any increase in insurance cost due to Tenant’s use will be the responsibility of the Tenant. 
  
 17. INDEMNITY: Tenant shall indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from and against any and all
claims arising from Tenant’s use of the premises, or from the conduct of Tenant’s business or from any activity, work or things done or permitted by Tenant in or about the premises. Tenant shall further indemnify and hold harmless Landlord
from and against all claims arising from any breach or default in the performance of any obligation on Tenant’s part to be performed under the terms of this Lease, or arising from the negligence of Tenant or its agents, contractors, or
employees, and from and against all costs, attorney’s fees, expenses and liabilities incurred in the defense of any such claim or any action or proceeding brought thereon. Tenant, as a material part of the consideration to Landlord, hereby
assumes all risk of damage to property or injury to persons in, upon or about the premises arising from any cause and Tenant hereby waives all claims in respect thereof against Landlord. 
  
 18. ACCESS TO LEASED PREMISES: The Landlord shall have the right to enter the Leased Premises during normal business hours for purposes of
inspection, repair, remodeling, or to show the Leased Premises to prospective tenants, purchasers or mortgagees. Except in the case of emergency, the Tenant may request that the Landlord provide 24 hour advance notice of the need to enter the
Premises.

 19. RECONSTRUCTION OR REPAIR AFTER FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY 
  
 The decision as to whether or not to repair or reconstruct the Leased Premises in the event of damage by fire or other casualty, and the
means, responsibilities, and procedures for undertaking any such repair, and/or reconstruction will be made by the Landlord within 60 days of the date of such damage. If the Leased Premises or Entire Premises is totally destroyed, and Landlord
elects not to reconstruct, the Lease shall be terminated as of the date of destruction, and there shall be no further liability on any party thereafter. 
  
 20. DEFAULT: Tenant will be considered to be in default of the Lease if Tenant’s rent and other charges have not been paid on time. The Tenant will also be in
default if Tenant does not maintain insurance as required, or if it becomes bankrupt or insolvent. Tenant will also be considered to be in default of the Lease if the premises become vacant or deserted for more than thirty (30) days, or if Tenant
fails to observe or perform any of the provisions of the Lease, including the duty to keep the Leased Premises in good order and repair. In all cases of default, the Tenant will be given ten (10) days written notice that it is in default of the
Lease, during which time Tenant may cure the default and pay any additional charges, if applicable. 
  
 If Landlord chooses to waive any violation or breach of any term of this Lease, this will not constitute a waiver of subsequent breach of any terms of the Lease. If Landlord chooses not to enforce any of the
provisions of this Lease in an event of default, this will not be construed to constitute a waiver of such default. 
  
 21. LANDLORD’S REMEDIES: Should an event of default occur under this Lease, Landlord shall have the following rights and remedies: 
  
 (a) Landlord may terminate this Lease by written notice to Tenant. On such
notice, this Lease and the term shall cease and terminate and Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Premises, but shall remain liable, to the extent hereinafter provided, for all obligations arising under this Lease during the balance of the
then-current Term as if this Lease had remained in full force and effect. 
  
 (b) Landlord may, on written notice to Tenant, re-enter and recover possession of the Premises. In such event, such property as may be on the Premises may be removed from the Premises and stored by Landlord in a
public warehouse or elsewhere at the expense and risk of Tenant, without notice or resort to legal process and without Landlord being deemed guilty of trespass or becoming liable for any loss occasioned thereby. 
  
 Page Seven 

 (c) Should Landlord re-enter and dispossess Tenant of the Premises following an event of default,
Landlord may elect to recover from Tenant all damages incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s default, including, without limitation, all accrued and unpaid rent at the time of such election, plus the then-present value of the amount of rent
reserved in this Lease for the remainder of the lease term, all of which amounts shall become immediately due and payable from Tenant to Landlord upon demand. 
  

(d) All rights and remedies of Landlord provided herein are in addition to and not in substitution for such rights and remedies as may be available at
law or in equity, and all of such rights and remedies may be exercised independently, cumulatively, and, to the extent such rights and remedies are not inconsistent with each other, simultaneously. 
  
 22. SUBORDINATION AND ESTOPPEL: This Lease is, and all of Tenant’s rights hereunder are,
subject and subordinate to any and all mortgages that now exist or may hereafter be placed upon the Entire Premises or any part thereof, and to any and all advances to be made thereunder, and to the interest thereon, and all renewals, replacements,
modification, consolidations and extensions thereof. This subordination shall be self-operative and shall not require any further writing or confirmation hereof. 
  
 Tenant shall promptly at Landlord’s request, execute either an estoppel certificate addressed to any mortgagee of Landlord or potential
or actual purchaser of the Entire Premises or any portion thereof or a three party agreement among Landlord, Tenant and such mortgagee(s) or purchaser(s) certifying as to such facts (if true) and agreeing to such notice provisions and other matters
as such mortgagee(s) may reasonably require in connection with Landlord’s financing or such purchaser(s) may reasonably require in connection with the sale of the Entire Premises or any part thereof. 
  
 23. HOLDING OVER: Should the Tenant, without Landlord’s permission, continue to occupy
the premises after the termination or expiration of this Lease, the amount of rent payable will be 50% greater than the rental payment due for the last month of the preceding term of the Lease. The minimum holdover period is one month, although the
inclusion of this paragraph shall not be interpreted as Landlord’s permission for Tenant to hold over. 
  
 Page Eight 

 24. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING: Tenant agrees that it will not assign this Lease in whole or in part, or sublet the whole
or any part of the Leased Premises, without obtaining the prior written consent of the Landlord. Regardless of Landlord’s consent, no subletting or assignment shall release Tenant of Tenant’s obligations and primary liability under this
Lease. In the event of default by any assignee of Tenant, Landlord may proceed directly against Tenant without the necessity of pursuing remedies against the assignee. Landlord’s consent to one assignment or subletting shall not be deemed
consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. 
  
 25. QUIET ENJOYMENT:
Landlord represents and warrants that it has full right and authority to enter into this Lease and that Tenant, upon paying the rental herein set forth and performing the other covenants and agreements herein set forth, shall peaceably and quietly

 THIS AGREEMENT TO IMPROVE LEASED PREMISES (the “Agreement”) is made as of May 28, 2002 by and between ALLEN ROAD PROPERTIES LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY, (“Landlord”), an Ohio limited liability

 A. By Lease dated as of December 18, 2000, (“the Lease”), Landlord leased to Tenant approximately 7,311 square feet of space (3,500 square feet
offices and 3811 square feet of warehouse) in Building Five of Schumacher Commerce Park, located at 6033 Schumacher Park Drive, West Chester, Ohio 45069 (the “Leased Premises”); 
  
 B. Tenant now desires Landlord to improve the Leased Premises by building
out approximately 2,150 additional square feet of office space within the Leased Premises, as provided herein;
