(the “Expiration Date”) described in Item 12 of the Schedule, unless terminated earlier as otherwise provided in this Lease. 

  

	2.	RENT. 

  

	 	A.	Definitions. For the purposes of this Lease, the following terms shall have the following meanings: 

  

	 	(i)	“Base Taxes” or “Base Tax Year” shall mean the amount or the year set forth in Item 6 of the Schedule. 

  

	 	(ii)	“Rent” shall mean Base Rent, Adjustment Rent, Index Rent and any other sums or charges due by Tenant hereunder. 

  

	 	(iii)	 “Taxes” shall mean all taxes, assessments and fees levied upon the Building, the property of Landlord located therein or the rents collected therefrom, by
any 

  

 - 1 - 

	 	 
governmental entity based upon the ownership, leasing, renting or operation of the Building, including all costs and expenses of protesting any such taxes,
assessments or fees. Taxes shall not include any net income, capital stock, succession, transfer, franchise, gift, estate or inheritance taxes; provided, however, if at any time during the Term, a tax or excise on income is levied or assessed by any
governmental entity, in lieu of or as a substitute for, in whole or in part, real estate taxes or other ad valorem taxes. Such tax shall constitute and be included in Taxes. For the purpose of determining Taxes for any given year, the amount
to be included for such year (a) from special assessments payable in installments shall be the amount of the installments (and any interest) due and payable during such year, and (b) from all other Taxes shall at Landlord’s election
either be the amount accrued, assessed or otherwise imposed for such year or the amount due and payable in such year. 

  

	 	(iv)	“Tenant’s Proportionate Share” shall mean the percentage set forth in Item 4 of the Schedule which has been determined by dividing the rentable square feet in
the Premises by the rentable square feet in the Building. 

  

	 	B.	Components of Rent. Tenant agrees to pay the following amounts to Landlord at the office of the Building or at such other place as Landlord designates:

  

	 	(i)	Base rent (“Base Rent”) to be paid in monthly installments in the amount set forth in Item 3 of the Schedule in advance on or before the first day of each month of
the Term, except that Tenant shall pay the first month’s Base Rent upon execution of this Lease. 

  

	 	(ii)	Adjustment rent (“Adjustment Rent”) in an amount equal to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the increase in Taxes for any calendar year over the Base Taxes. (If the
Schedule sets forth a Base Tax Year rather than Base Taxes, Base Taxes shall equal the amount of Taxes for the Base Tax Year.) Prior to each calendar year, Landlord shall estimate the amount of Adjustment Rent due for such year, and Tenant shall pay
Landlord one-twelfth of such estimate on the first day of each month during such year. Such estimate may be revised by Landlord whenever it obtains information relevant to making such estimate more accurate. After the end of each calendar year,
Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a report setting forth the actual Taxes for such calendar year and a statement of the amount of Adjustment Rent that tenant has paid and is payable for such year. Within thirty days after receipt of such report,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of Adjustment Rent due for such calendar year minus any payments of Adjustment Rent made by Tenant for such year. If Tenant’s estimated payments of Adjustment Rent exceed the amount due landlord for such
calendar year, Landlord shall apply such excess as a credit against Tenant’s other obligations under this Lease or promptly refund such excess to Tenant if the Term has already expired, provided Tenant is not then in default hereunder, in
either case without interest to Tenant. 

  

 - 2 - 

	 	C.	Payment of Rent. The following provisions shall govern the payment of Rent: (i) if this Lease commences or ends on a day other than the first day or last day of a
calendar year, respectively, the Rent for the year in which this Lease so begins or ends shall be prorated and the monthly installments shall be adjusted accordingly; (ii) all Rent shall be paid to Landlord without offset or deduction, and the
covenant to pay Rent shall be independent of every other covenant in this Lease; (iii) any sum due from Tenant to Landlord which is not paid when due shall bear interest from the date due until the date paid at the annual rate of two
(2) percentage points above the rate then most recently announced by the First National Bank of Chicago as its corporate base lending rate, from time to time in effect, but in no event higher than the maximum rate permitted by law (the
“Default Rate”); and, in addition, Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge for any Rent payment which is paid more than five (5) days after its due date equal to five percent (5 %) of such payment; (iv) if changes are made to this
lease or the Building changing the number of square feet contained in the Premises or in the Building, Landlord shall make an appropriate adjustment to Tenant’s Proportionate Share; (v) Tenant shall have the right to inspect
Landlord’s accounting records relative to Expenses and taxes during normal business hours at any time following the furnishing to Tenant of the annual statement of Rent Adjustment; and, unless Tenant shall take written exception to any item in
any such statement within fifteen (15), such statement shall be considered as final and accepted by Tenant; (vi) in the event of the termination of this Lease prior to the determination of any Adjustment Rent, Tenant’s agreement to pay any
such sums and Landlord’s obligation to refund any such sums (provided Tenant is not in default hereunder) shall survive the termination of this Lease; (vii) no adjustment to the Rent by virtue of the operation of the rent adjustment
provisions in this Lease shall result in the payment by Tenant in any year of less than the Base Rent shown on the Schedule; (viii) Landlord may at any time change the fiscal year of the Building; (ix) each amount owed to Landlord under
this Lease for which the date of payment is not expressly fixed shall be due on the same date as the Rent listed on the statement showing such amount is due; and (x) if Landlord fails to give Tenant an estimate of Adjustment Rent prior to the
beginning of any calendar year, Tenant shall continue to pay Adjustment Rent as the case may be, at the rate for the previous calendar year until Landlord delivers such estimate. 

  

	3.	USE. Tenant agrees that it shall occupy and use the Premises only as business offices and for no other purposes. Tenant shall comply with all federal, state and municipal laws,
ordinances and regulations and all covenants, conditions and restrictions of record applicable to Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall not cause, nor permit, any hazardous or toxic substances
to be brought upon, produced, stored, used, discharged or disposed of in, on or about the Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord and then only in compliance with all applicable environmental laws. 

  

	4.	 CONDITION OF PREMISES. Tenant’s taking possession of the Premises shall be conclusive evidence that the Premises were in good order and satisfactory condition
when Tenant took possession. No agreement of Landlord to alter, remodel, decorate, clean or 

  

 - 3 - 

	 	 
improve the premises or the Building (or to provide Tenant with any credit or allowance for the same), and no representation regarding the condition of the
Premises or the Building, have been made by or on behalf of Landlord or relied upon by Tenant, except as stated herein or in a separate work letter, if any, executed by Landlord and Tenant. 

  

	5.	BUILDING SERVICES. 

  

	 	A.	Basic Services. Landlord shall furnish the following services: (i) water for drinking, for private restrooms, and office kitchen requested by Tenant; (ii) periodic
outside window washing of the perimeter windows in the Premises. Building will be open from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday to Friday (holidays excepted) and 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturdays. 

  

	 	B.	Electricity. Electricity shall be distributed to the Premises by the electric utility company serving the Building. Tenant at its cost shall make all necessary arrangements
with the electric utility company for metering and paying for electric current furnished to the Premises. All electricity used during the performance of janitor service, or the making of any alterations or repairs in the Premises, or the operation
of any special air conditioning systems serving the Premises shall be paid for by Tenant. 

  

	 	C.	Telephones. Tenant shall arrange for telephone service directly with one or more of the public telephone companies servicing the Building and shall be solely responsible for
paying for such telephone service. If Landlord acquired ownership of the telephone cables in the Building at any time, Landlord shall permit Tenant to connect to such cables on such terms and conditions as Landlord may reasonably prescribe. In no
event does Landlord make any representation or warranty with respect to telephone service in the Building, and Landlord shall have no liability with respect thereto. 

  

	 	D.	Additional Services. Landlord shall not be obligated to furnish any services other than those stated above. If Landlord elects to furnish services requested by Tenant in
addition to those stated above, Tenant shall pay Landlord’s then prevailing reasonable charges for such services. If Tenant shall fail to make any such payment, Landlord may, without notice to Tenant and in addition to all other remedies
available to Landlord, discontinue any additional services. No discontinuance of any such service shall result in any liability of Landlord to Tenant or be considered as an eviction or a disturbance of Tenant’s use of the Premises. In addition,
if Tenant’s concentration of personnel or equipment adversely affects the temperature or humidity in the Premises or the Building, Landlord may install supplementary air conditioning units in the Premises; and Tenant shall pay for the cost of
installation and maintenance thereof. 

  

	 	E.	 Failure or Delay in Furnishing Services. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for damages for failure or delay in furnishing any service stated
above if such failure or delay is caused, in whole or in part, by any one or more of the events stated in Section 25(j) below, nor shall any such failure or delay be 

  

 - 4 - 

	 	 
considered to be an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use of the Premises, or relieve Tenant from its obligation to pay any Rent when due or from any
other obligations of Tenant under this Lease. 

  

	6.	RULES AND REGULATIONS. Tenant shall observe and comply, and shall cause its subtenants, assignees, invitees, employees, contractors and agents to observe and comply, with the rules
and regulations listed on Exhibit A attached hereto and with such reasonable modifications and additions thereto as Landlord may make from time to time. Landlord shall not be liable for failure of any person to obey such rules and regulations.
Landlord shall not be obligated to enforce such rules and regulations against any person, and the failure of Landlord to enforce any such rules and regulations shall not constitute a waiver thereof or relieve Tenant from compliance therewith.

  

	7.	CERTAIN RIGHTS RESERVED TO LANDLORD. Landlord reserves the following rights, each of which Landlord may exercise with reasonable notice to Tenant and without liability to Tenant,
and the exercise of any such rights shall not be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use or possession of the Premises and shall not give rise to any claim for set-off or abatement of rent or any other claim: (a) to
change the name or street address of the Building or the suite number of the Premises; (b) to install, affix and maintain any and all signs on the exterior or interior of the Building; to make repairs, decorations, alterations, additions, or
improvements, whether structural or otherwise, in and about the Building, and for such purposes to enter upon the Premises, temporarily close doors, corridors and other areas in Building and interrupt or temporarily suspend services or use of common
areas, and Tenant agrees to pay landlord for overtime and similar expenses incurred if such work is done other than during ordinary business hours at Tenant’s request; (d) to retain at all times, and to use in appropriate instances, keys
to all doors within and into the Premises; (e) to grant to any person or to reserve unto itself the exclusive right to conduct any business or render any service in the Building; (f) to show the Premises at reasonable times during the last
six months of the lease and, if vacated or abandoned, to prepare the Premises for reoccupancy; (g) to install, use and maintain in and through the Premises pipes, conduits, wires and ducts serving the Building, provided that such installation,
use and maintenance does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s use of the Premises; and (h) to take any other action which Landlord deems reasonable in connection with the operation, maintenance or preservation of the Building.

  

	8.	MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS. Tenant, at its expense, shall maintain and keep the Premises in good order and repair at all times during the Term, wear and tear excluded. In addition,
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the cost of any repairs to the Building necessitated by the acts or omissions of Tenant, its subtenants, assignees, invitees, employees, contractors and agents, to the extent Landlord is not reimbursed for such
costs under its insurance policies. Subject to the preceding sentence, Landlord shall perform any maintenance or make any repairs to the Building as Landlord shall desire or deem necessary for the safety, operation or preservation of the Building,
or as Landlord may be required or requested to do by the City of Rolling Meadows, IL or by the order or decree of any court or by any other proper authority.

	9.	ALTERATIONS. 

  

	 	A.	Requirements. Tenant shall not make any replacement, alteration, improvement or addition to or removal from the Premises (collectively an “alteration”) without the
prior written consent of Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event Tenant proposes to make any alteration, Tenant shall, prior to commencing such alteration, submit to Landlord for prior written approval:
(i) detailed plans and specifications; (ii) sworn statements, including the names, addresses and copies of contracts for all contractors; (iii) all necessary permits evidencing compliance with all applicable governmental rules,
regulations and requirements; (iv) certificates of insurance in form and amounts required by Landlord, naming Landlord and any other parties designated by Landlord as additional insured; and (v) all other documents and information as
Landlord may reasonably request in connection with such alteration. Tenant agrees to pay Landlord’s reasonable charges for review of all such items and supervision of the alteration. Neither approval of the plans and specifications nor
supervision of the alteration by Landlord shall constitute a representation or warranty by Landlord as to the accuracy, adequacy, sufficiency or propriety of such plans and specifications or the quality of workmanship or the compliance of such
alteration with applicable law. Tenant shall pay the entire cost of the alteration and, if requested by Landlord, shall deposit with Landlord, prior to the commencement of the alteration, security for the payment and completion of the alteration in
form and amount required by Landlord. Each alteration shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by the Landlord and shall meet or exceed the standards for construction and quality of
materials established by Landlord for the building. In addition each alteration shall be performed in compliance with all applicable governmental and insurance company laws, regulations, and requirements. Each alteration shall be performed by union
contractors if required by Landlord and in harmony with Landlord’s employees, contractors, and other tenants. Each alteration, whether temporary or permanent in character, made by Landlord or Tenant in or upon the Premises (excepting only
Tenant’s furniture, equipment and trade fixtures) shall become Landlord’s property and shall remain upon the Premises at the expiration or termination of this Lease without compensation to Tenant; provided, however, that Landlord shall
have the right to require Tenant to remove such alteration at Tenant’s sole cost and expense in accordance with the provisions of Section 15 of this Lease. 

  

	 	B.	 Liens. Upon completion of any alteration, Tenant shall promptly furnish Landlord with sworn owner’s and contractor’s statements and full and final
waivers of liens covering all labor and materials included in such alteration. Tenant shall not permit any mechanic’s lien to be filed against the Building, or any part thereof, arising out of any alteration performed, or alleged to have been
performed, by or on behalf of Tenant. If any such lien is filed, Tenant shall within ten (10) days thereafter have such lien released of record or deliver to Landlord a bond in form, amount, and issued by a surety satisfactory to Landlord,
indemnifying Landlord against all costs and liabilities resulting from such lien 

  

 - 6 - 

	 	 
and the foreclosure or attempted foreclosure thereof. If Tenant fails to have such lien so released or to deliver such bond to Landlord, Landlord, without
investigating the validity of such lien, may pay or discharge the same; and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for the amount so paid by Landlord, including Landlord’s reasonable expenses and attorneys’ fees.

  

	10.	INSURANCE. Tenant, at its expense, shall maintain at all times during the Term the following insurance policies: (a) fire insurance, including extended coverage, vandalism,
malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage and water damage coverage and demolition and debris removal, insuring the full replacement cost of all improvements, alterations or additions to the Premises made at Tenant’s expense, and all other property
owned or used by Tenant and located in the Premises; (b) commercial general liability insurance, contractual liability insurance and property damage insurance with respect to the Building and the Premises, with limits to be set by Landlord from
time to time but in any event not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit for personal injury, sickness or death or for damage to or destruction of property for any one occurrence; and insurance against such other risks and in such other amounts
as Landlord may from time to time require. The form of all such policies and deductibles thereunder shall be subject to Landlord’s prior approval. All such policies shall be issued by insurers reasonably acceptable to Landlord and licensed to
do business in the State of Illinois and shall contain a waiver of any rights of subrogation thereunder. In addition, the policies shall name Landlord and any other parties designated by Landlord as additional insured, shall require at least thirty
(30) days’ prior written notice to Landlord of termination or modification and shall be primary and not contributory. Tenant shall, at least ten (10) days prior to the Commencement Date, and within ten (10) days prior to the
expiration of each such policy, deliver to Landlord certificates evidencing the foregoing insurance or renewal thereof, as the case may be. 

  

	11.	WAIVER AND INDEMNITY. 

  

	 	A.	Waiver. Tenant releases Landlord, Landlord’s beneficiaries and their respective agents and employees from, and waives all claims for, damage or injury to person or
property and loss of business sustained by Tenant resulting from the Building or the Premises or any part thereof or any equipment therein becoming in disrepair, or resulting from any accident in or about the Building. This paragraph shall apply
particularly, but not exclusively, to flooding, damage caused by Building equipment and apparatus, water, snow, frost, steam, excessive heat or cold, broken glass, sewage, gas, odors, excessive noise or vibration or the bursting or leaking of pipes,
plumbing fixtures or sprinkler devices. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant waives all claims and rights of recovery against Landlord, Landlord’s beneficiaries and their respective agents and employees for any loss or
damage to any property of Tenant, which loss or damage is insured against, or required to be insured against, by Tenant pursuant to Section 10 above, whether or not such loss or damage is due to the fault or negligence of Landlord or such
beneficiaries, agents, or employees, and regardless of the amount of insurance proceeds collected or collectible under any insurance policies in effect. 

  

 - 7 - 

	 	B.	Indemnity. Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord, Landlord’s beneficiaries and their respective agents and employees, from and against any and
all claims, demands, actions, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), for injuries to any persons and damage to or theft or misappropriation or loss of property occurring in or about the Building and arising from
the use and occupancy of the Premises or from any activity, work, or thing done, permitted or suffered by Tenant in or about the Premises (including, without limitation, any alteration by Tenant) or from any breach or default on the part of Tenant
in the performance of any covenant or agreement on the part of Tenant to be performed under this Lease or due to any other act or omission of Tenant, its subtenants, assignees, invitees, employees, contractors and agents. Without limiting the
foregoing, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord harmless from any claims, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses arising out of the use or storage of hazardous or toxic materials in the Building by Tenant. If any such proceeding is
filed against Landlord or any such indemnified party, Tenant agrees to defend Landlord or such party in such proceeding at Tenant’s sole cost by legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to Landlord, if requested by Landlord.

  

	12.	FIRE AND CASUALTY. If all or a substantial part of the Premises or the Building is rendered untenantable by reason of fire or other casualty, Landlord may, at its option, either
restore the Premises and the Building, or terminate this Lease effective as of the date of such fire or other casualty. Landlord agrees to give Tenant written notice within sixty (60) days after the occurrence of any such fire or other casualty
designating whether Landlord elects to so restore or terminate this Lease. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, Rent shall be paid through and apportioned as of the date of such fire or other casualty. If Landlord elects to restore,
Landlord’s obligation to restore the Premises shall be limited to restoring those improvements in the Premises existing as of the date of such fire or other casualty which were made at Landlord’s expense and shall exclude any furniture,
equipment, fixtures, additions, alterations or improvements in or to the Premises existing as of the date of such fire or other casualty which were made at Tenant’s expense. If Landlord elects to restore, Rent shall abate for that part of the
Premises which is untenantable on a per diem basis from the date of such fire or other casualty until Landlord has substantially completed its repair and restoration work, provided that Tenant does not occupy such part of the Premises during said
period. 

  

	13.	 CONDEMNATION. If the Premises or the Building is rendered untenantable by reason of a condemnation (or by a deed given in lieu thereof), then either party may
terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination to the other party within thirty (30) days after such condemnation, in which event this Lease shall terminate effective as of the date of such condemnation. If this Lease so
terminates, rent shall be paid through and apportioned as of the date of such condemnation. If such condemnation does not render the Premises or the Building untenantable, this Lease shall continue in effect and Landlord shall promptly restore the
portion not condemned to the extent reasonably possible to the condition existing prior to the condemnation. In such event, however, Landlord shall not be required to expend an amount in excess of the proceeds received by Landlord from the
condemning authority. Landlord reserves all rights to compensation 

  

 - 8 - 

	 	 
for any condemnation. Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord any right Tenant may have to such compensation, and Tenant shall make no claim against Landlord or
the condemning authority for compensation for termination of Tenant’s leasehold interest under this Lease or interference with Tenant’s business. 

  

	14.	ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING. 

  

	 	A.	Landlord’s Consent. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord which shall not be unreasonably withheld: (i) assign, convey, mortgage or
otherwise transfer this Lease or any interest hereunder, or sublease the Premises, or any part thereof, whether voluntarily or by operation of law; or (ii) permit the use of the Premises by any person other than Tenant, Tenant’s
affiliates, Tenant’s subsidiaries, and its employees. Any such transfer, sublease or use described in the preceding sentence (a “Transfer”) occurring without the prior written consent of Landlord shall be void and of no effect.
Landlord’s consent to any Transfer shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to withhold its consent to any future Transfer. Landlord’s consent to any Transfer or acceptance of rent from any party other than tenant shall not
release Tenant from any covenant or obligation under this Lease. Landlord may require as a condition to its consent to any assignment of this Lease that the assignee execute an instrument in which such assignee assumes the obligations of tenant
hereunder. For the purposes of this paragraph, the transfer (whether direct or indirect) of all or a majority of the capital stock in a corporate Tenant (other than the shares of the capital stock of a corporate Tenant whose stock is publicly
traded) or the merger, consolidation or reorganization of such Tenant and the transfer of all or any general partnership interest in any partnership Tenant shall be considered a Transfer. 

  

	 	B.	Standards for Consent. If Tenant desires the consent of a Landlord to a Transfer, Tenant shall submit to Landlord, at least sixty (60) days prior to the proposed
effective date of the Transfer, a written notice which includes such information as Landlord may require about the proposed Transfer and the transferee. If Landlord does not terminate this Lease, in whole or in part, pursuant to Section 14C,
Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any assignment or sublease. Landlord shall not be deemed to have unreasonably withheld its consent if, in the judgment of Landlord: (i) the transferee is of a character or engaged in a
business which is not in keeping with the reasonable standards or criteria used by Landlord in leasing the Building; (ii) the financial condition of the transferee is such that it may not be able to perform its obligations in connection with
this Lease; (iii) the purpose for which the transferee intends to use the Premises or portion thereof is in violation of the terms of this Lease or the lease of any other tenant in the Building; or (iv) any other bases which Landlord
reasonably deems appropriate. If Landlord wrongfully withholds its consent to any Transfer, Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy therefor shall be to seek specific performance of Landlord’s obligation to consent to such Transfer.

  

 - 9 - 

	 	C.	Recapture. Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease as to that portion of the Premises covered by a Transfer. Landlord may exercise such right to terminate by
giving notice to Tenant at any time within thirty (30) days after the date on which Tenant has furnished to Landlord all of the items required under Section 14B above. If Landlord exercises such right to terminate, Landlord shall be
entitled to recover possession of, and Tenant shall surrender such portion of, the Premises (with appropriate demising partitions erected at the expense of Tenant) on the later of (i) the effective date of the proposed Transfer, or
(ii) sixty (60) days after the Landlord’s notice of termination. In the event Landlord exercises such right to terminate, Landlord shall have the right to enter into a lease with the proposed transferee without incurring any liability
to Tenant on account thereof. If Landlord consents to any transfer, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all rent and other consideration received by Tenant in excess of the Rent paid by Tenant hereunder for the portion of the Premises so transferred. Such
rent shall be paid as and when received by Tenant. In addition, Tenant shall pay to Landlord reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with any proposed Transfer, whether or not Landlord consents to such
Transfer. 

  

	15.	SURRENDER. Upon termination of the Term or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, Tenant shall return the Premises to Landlord in good order and condition, ordinary wear
and damage by fire or other casualty excepted. If Landlord requires Tenant to remove any alterations pursuant to Section 9, then such removal shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner; and upon such removal Tenant shall restore the
Premises to its condition prior to the installation of such alterations. If Tenant does not remove such alterations after request to do so by Landlord, Landlord may remove the same and restore the Premises; and Tenant shall pay the cost of such
removal and restoration to Landlord upon demand. Tenant shall also remove its furniture, equipment, trade fixtures and all other items of personal property from the Premises prior to termination of the Term or Tenant’s right to possession of
the Premises. If Tenant does not remove such items, Tenant shall be conclusively presumed to have conveyed the same to Landlord without further payment or credit by Landlord to Tenant; or at Landlord’s sole option such items shall be deemed
abandoned, in which event Landlord may cause such items to be removed and disposed of at Tenant’s expense without notice to Tenant and without obligation to compensate Tenant. 

  

	16.	DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. 

  

	 	A.	 Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a default (a “Default”) by Tenant under this Lease: (i) Tenant fails to pay
any Rent when due and such failure is not cured within five (5) days after notice from Landlord (which notice may be in the form of a landlord statutory five-day notice; (ii) Tenant fails to perform any other provision of this Lease and
such failure is not cured or Tenant does not take necessary steps to cure within thirty (30) days (or immediately if the failure involves a hazardous condition) after notice from Landlord; (iii) the leasehold interest of Tenant is levied
upon or attached under process of law; (iv) Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease dies or dissolves; (v)

  

 - 10 - 

	 	 
Tenant abandons or vacates the Premises; or (vi) any voluntary or involuntary proceedings are filed by or against Tenant or any guarantor of this Lease
under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws and, in the case of any involuntary proceedings, are not dismissed within thirty (30) days after filing. 

  

	 	B.	Right of Re-Entry. Upon the occurrence of a Default, Landlord may elect to terminate this Lease or, without terminating this lease, terminate Tenant’s right to
possession of the Premises. Upon any such termination, Tenant shall immediately surrender and vacate the Premises and deliver possession thereof to Landlord. Tenant grants to Landlord the right to enter and repossess the Premises and to expel Tenant
and any others who may be occupying the Premises and to remove any and all property therefrom, without being deemed in any manner guilty of trespass and without relinquishing Landlord’s rights to Rent or any other right given to Landlord
hereunder or by operation of law. 

  

	 	C.	Reletting. If Landlord terminates Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease, Landlord may relet the Premises or any part thereof. In
such case, Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to relet the Premises on such terms as Landlord shall reasonably deem appropriate, provided, however, Landlord may first lease Landlord’s other available space and shall not be required to accept
a tenant offered by Tenant or to observe any instructions given by Tenant about such reletting. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable costs and expenses of reletting the Premises including, but not limited to, all brokerage,
advertising, legal, alteration, and other expenses incurred to secure a new tenant for the Premises. In addition, if the consideration collected by Landlord upon any such reletting, after payment of the expenses of reletting the Premises which have
not been reimbursed by Tenant, is insufficient to pay monthly the full amount of the Rent, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of each monthly deficiency as it becomes due. If such consideration is greater than the amount necessary to pay the
full amount of the Rent, the full amount of such excess shall be retained by Landlord and shall in no event be payable to Tenant. 

  

	 	D.	Termination of Lease. If Landlord terminates this Lease, Landlord may recover from Tenant and Tenant shall pay to Landlord, on demand, as and for liquidated and final
damages, an accelerated lump sum amount equal to the amount by which Landlord’s estimate of the aggregate amount of Rent owing from the date of such termination through the Expiration Date plus Landlord’s estimate of the reasonable
aggregate expenses of reletting the premises exceeds Landlord’s estimate of the fair rental value of the Premises for the same period (after deducting from such fair rental value the time needed to relet the Premises and the amount of
concessions which would normally be given to a new tenant) both discounted to present value at the rate of five percent (5%) per annum. 

  

	 	E.	 Other Remedies. Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, perform any obligation of Tenant under this Lease; and, if Landlord so elects, all costs and
expenses paid by Landlord in performing such obligation, together with interest at Default Rate, shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord on demand. Any and all 

  

 - 11 - 

	 	 
remedies set forth in this Lease: (i) shall be in addition to any and all other remedies Landlord may have at law or in equity, (ii) shall be
cumulative, and (iii) may be pursued successively or concurrently as Landlord may elect. The exercise of any remedy by Landlord shall not be deemed an election of remedies or preclude Landlord from exercising any other remedies in the future.

  

	 	F.	Bankruptcy. If Tenant becomes bankrupt, the bankruptcy trustee shall not have the right to assume or assign this Lease unless the trustee complies with all requirements of
the United States Bankruptcy Code; and Landlord expressly reserves all of its rights, claims, and remedies thereunder. 

  

	 	G.	Waiver of Trial by Jury. Landlord and Tenant waive trial by jury in the event of any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either Landlord or Tenant against the other
in connection with this Lease. 

  

	 	H.	Venue. If either Landlord or Tenant desires to bring an action against the other in connection with this Lease, such action shall be brought in the federal or state courts
located in Illinois. Landlord and Tenant consent to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive any right to have such action transferred from such courts on the ground of improper venue or inconvenient forum. 

  

	17.	HOLDING OVER. If Tenant retains possession of the Premises after the expiration or termination of the Term or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, Tenant shall pay
Rent during such holding over at double the rate in effect immediately preceding such holding over computed on a monthly basis for each month or partial month that Tenant remains in possession. Tenant shall also pay, indemnify and defend Landlord
from and against all claims and damages, consequential as well as direct, sustained by reason of Tenant’s holding over. In addition, at any time while Tenant remains in possession, Landlord may elect instead, by written notice to Tenant and not
otherwise, to have such retention of possession constitute a renewal of this Lease for one (1) year for the fair market rental value of the Premises as reasonably determined by Landlord but in no event less than the Rent payable immediately
prior to such holding over. The provisions of this Section 17 do not waive Landlord’s right of re-entry or right to regain possession by actions at law or in equity or any other rights hereunder, and any receipt of payment by Landlord
shall not be deemed a consent by Landlord to Tenant’s remaining in possession or be construed as creating or renewing any lease or right of tenancy between Landlord and Tenant. 

  

	18.	SECURITY DEPOSIT. Upon execution of this Lease, Tenant shall deposit the security deposit set forth in Item 9 of the Schedule (the “Security Deposit”) with Landlord
as security for the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Upon the occurrence of a Default, Landlord may use all or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of any Rent or for the payment of any amount which Landlord may
pay or become obligated to pay by reason of such Default, or to compensate Landlord for any loss or damage which Landlord may suffer by reason of such Default. 

  

 - 12 - 

 If any portion of the Security Deposit is used, Tenant shall within five (5) days after written
demand therefor deposit cash with Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to this original amount. Landlord shall not be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its general funds, and Tenant shall not be entitled
to interest on the Security Deposit. In no event shall the Security Deposit be considered an advanced payment of Rent, and in no event shall Tenant be entitled to use the Security Deposit for the payment of Rent. If no default by Tenant exists
hereunder, the Security Deposit or any balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Term and vacation of the Premises by Tenant. Landlord shall have the right to transfer the Security Deposit
to any purchaser of the Building. Upon such transfer, and assumption of liability by the purchaser, Tenant shall look solely to such purchaser for return of the Security Deposit; and Landlord shall be relieved of any liability with respect to the
Security Deposit. 
  

	19.	SUBSTITUTION OF OTHER PREMISES. At any time hereafter, Landlord may upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Tenant substitute for the Premises other premises in the
Building (the “New Premises”), provided that the New Premises shall be reasonably usable for Tenant’s business hereunder; and, if Tenant is already in occupancy of Premises, then in addition Landlord shall pay the expenses of moving
Tenant from the Premises to the New Premises and for improving the New Premises so that they are substantially similar to the Premises. 

  

	20.	ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Tenant agrees that, from time to time upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior request by Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord a
written certificate certifying: (i) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, a description of such modifications and that this Lease as modified is in full force and effect); (ii) the
dates to which Rent has been paid; (iii) that Tenant is in possession of the Premises, if that is the case (iv) that Landlord is not in default under this Lease, or, if Tenant believes Landlord is in default, the nature thereof in detail;
(v) that tenant has no off-sets or defenses to the performance of its obligations under this Lease (or if Tenant believes there are any off-sets or defenses, a full and complete explanation thereof); and (vi) such additional matters as may
be requested by Landlord, it being agreed that such certificate may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser, mortgagee, or other person having or acquiring an interest in the Building. If Tenant fails to execute and deliver any such certificate
within ten (10) days after request, Tenant shall be deemed to have irrevocably appointed Landlord and Landlord’s beneficiaries as Tenant’s attorneys-in-fact to execute and deliver such certificate in Tenant’s name.

  

	21.	 SUBORDINATION. This Lease is and shall be expressly subject and subordinate at all times to (i) any ground or underlying lease of the Building, now existing,
and all amendments, renewals and modifications to any such lease; and (ii) the lien of any mortgage or trust deed now encumbering fee title to the Building and/or the leasehold estate under any such lease. If any such mortgage or trust deed is
foreclosed, or if any such lease is terminated, upon request of the mortgagee, holder or lessor, as the case may be, Tenant will attorn to the purchaser at the foreclosure sale or to the lessor under such lease, as the case may be. The foregoing
provisions are declared to be self-operative and 

  

 - 13 - 

	 	 
no further instruments shall be required to effect such subordination and/or attornment; provided, however, that Tenant agrees upon request by any such
mortgagee, holder, lessor or purchaser at foreclosure to execute and deliver such subordination and/or attornment instruments as may be required to confirm such subordination and/or attornment. If Tenant fails to execute and deliver any such
instrument within ten (10) days after request, Tenant shall be deemed to have irrevocably appointed Landlord and Landlord’s beneficiaries as Tenant’s attorneys-in-fact to execute and deliver such instrument in Tenant’s name.

  

	22.	QUIET ENJOYMENT. As long as no Default exists, Tenant shall peacefully and quietly have and enjoy the Premises for the Term, free from interference by Landlord, subject, however, to
the provisions of this Lease. The loss or reduction of Tenant’s light, air or view will not be deemed a disturbance of Tenant’s occupancy of the Premises nor will it affect Tenant’s obligations under this Lease or create any liability
of Landlord to Tenant. 

  

	23.	BROKER. Tenant represents to Landlord that Tenant has dealt only with the broker set forth in Item 10 of the Schedule (the “Broker”) in connection with this Lease and
that, insofar as Tenant knows, no other broker negotiated this Lease or is entitled to any commission in connection herewith. Landlord agrees to pay the Broker a commission in accordance with a separate agreement between Landlord and the Broker.

  

	24.	NOTICES. All notices and demands to be given by one party to the other party under this Lease shall be given in writing, mailed or delivered to Landlord or Tenant, as the case may
be, at the address set forth above or at such other address as either party may hereafter designate. Notices shall be delivered by hand or by United States certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by a nationally
recognized overnight air courier service. Notices shall be considered to have been given upon the earlier to occur of actual receipt or two (2) business days after posting in the United States mail. 

  

	25.	MISCELLANEOUS. 

  

	 	A.	Successors and Assigns. Subject to Section 14 of this Lease, each provision of this Lease shall extend to, bind and inure to the benefit of Landlord and Tenant and their
respective legal representatives, successors and assigns; and all references herein to Landlord and Tenant shall be deemed to include all such parties. 

  

	 	B.	Entire Agreement. This Lease, and the riders and exhibits, if any, attached hereto which are hereby made a part of this Lease, represent the complete agreement between
Landlord and Tenant, and Landlord has made no representations or warranties except as expressly set forth in this lease. 

 No
modification or amendment of or waiver under this Lease shall be binding upon Landlord or Tenant unless in writing signed by Landlord and Tenant. 
  

	 	C.	Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Lease and each and all of its provisions. 

  

 - 14 - 

	 	D.	Execution and Delivery. Submission of this instrument for examination or signature by Tenant does not constitute a reservation of space or an option for lease, and it is not
effective until execution and delivery by both Landlord and Tenant. Execution and delivery of this Lease by Tenant to Landlord shall constitute an irrevocable offer by Tenant to lease the Premises on the terms and conditions set forth herein, which
offer may not be revoked for five (5) days after such delivery. 

  

	 	E.	Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Lease shall not affect or impair any other provisions. 

  

	 	F.	Governing Law. This Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois. 

  

	 	G.	Attorneys’ Fees. Tenant shall pay to Landlord all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Landlord in enforcing this Lease or incurred
by Landlord as a result of any litigation to which Landlord becomes a party as a result of this Lease. 

  

	 	H.	Delay in Possession. In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant if Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant on the Commencement Date for causes
outside Landlord’s reasonable control. If Landlord is unable to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant by the Commencement Date, the Commencement Date shall be deferred until Landlord can deliver possession to Tenant, and the Expiration
Date shall be deferred for an equal number of days. 

  

	 	I.	Joint and Several Liability. If Tenant is comprised of more than one party, each such party shall be jointly and severally liable for Tenant’s obligations under this
Lease. 

  

	 	J.	Force Majeure. Landlord shall not be in default hereunder and Tenant shall not be excused from performing any of its obligations hereunder if Landlord is prevented from
performing any of its obligations hereunder due to any accident, breakage, strike, shortage of materials, acts of God, or other causes beyond Landlord’s reasonable control. 

  

	 	K.	Demolition or Renovation. Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease without compensation to Tenant upon ninety (90) days’ prior notice to Tenant if
Landlord intends to renovate or demolish the Building or a substantial part thereof. 

  

	 	L.	Captions. The headings and titles in this Lease are for convenience only and shall have no effect upon the construction or interpretation of this Lease.

  

	 	M.	 No Waiver. No receipt of money by Landlord from Tenant after termination of this Lease or after the service of any notice or after the commencing of any suit
or after final judgment for possession of the Premises shall renew, reinstate, continue or extend the Term or affect any such notice or suit. No waiver of any default of 

  

 - 15 - 

	 	 
Tenant shall be implied from any omission by Landlord to take any action on account of such default if such default persists or be repeated, and no express
waiver shall affect any default other than the default specified in the express waiver and then only for the time and to the extent therein stated. 

  

	 	N.	No Recording. Tenant shall not record this Lease or a memorandum of this Lease in any official records. 

  

	 	O.	Limitation of Liability. Any liability of Landlord under this Lease shall be limited solely to its interest in the Building, and in no event shall any personal liability be
asserted against Landlord in connection with this Lease nor shall any recourse be had to any other property or assets of Landlord. 

 IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, Landlord and Tenant have executed this Lease as of the day and year first above written.
