ADDENDUM TO LEASE

 

The Lease for approximately 40,000 rentable square feet on the first and second floors of the building to be constructed at 1240 Deming Way, Madison, Wisconsin, between Old Sauk Trails Park Limited Partnership as Landlord and Tomotherapy, Incorporated, a Wisconsin corporation, as Tenant which is dated October 22, 2001, is modified as follows:

 

1.
Section 1.02 is amended by adding the following text to the end of the first paragraph:

 

The Premises shall include a specific test bunker area designated for the testing of Tenant's product and/or its components for research and/or manufacturing purposes (the "Test Bunkers"). Tenant will not pay Rent or Additional Rent for the Bunkers, but the electric supply to them and to the equipment being tested in them will be billed directly to Tenant (see paragraph 3.02(d)(iv)). The Test Bunkers shall be included in the Tenant Improvements, but on surrender of the Premises by Tenant to Landlord, Landlord shall assume responsibility for the Test Bunkers and Tenant shall not be required to remove them.

 

2.
Section 1.04(e) is amended to read as follows:

 

1.04(e). Delayed Possession. Tenant may cancel this Lease if Landlord cannot deliver actual possession of the substantially complete Premises by sixty (60) days after the Target Date. To cancel Tenant must give notice to Landlord within ninety (90) days after the Target Date and before Landlord gives notice to Tenant that the Premises are substantially complete. The sixty (60) day and ninety (90) day periods above shall be extended by the time equal to any period of delay caused by the Tenant. Within thirty (30) days after cancellation Landlord shall return to Tenant prepaid consideration, if any, including Rent and deposits.

 

3.
Section 2.0l(b) is amended to read as follows:

 

2.0l(b). Late Payment. If Tenant fails to pay part or all of the Rent or Additional Rent (section 2.02) within ten (10) days after receiving notice from Landlord that it is due, the Tenant shall also pay:

(i) a late charge equal to 1 percent of the unpaid Rent and Additional Rent, plus

(ii) interest at 12 percent per annum or the maximum then allowed by applicable law, whichever is less, on the remaining unpaid balance, retroactive to the date originally due until paid, but the interest accumulation shall stop after thirty (30) days unless Landlord gives Tenant written notice of the Tenant's failure to pay Rent or Additional Rent within 30 days of the date payment was due.

 

4.
Section 2.02(a)(iv)(A) is amended by deleting the "(1)" at the end of said Section.

 

5.
Section 3.02(d)(iv) is created to read:

 

(iv) Separate Meter. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that Tenant's use of the Premises will result in higher electricity consumption than that used by most offices. On account of Tenant's higher electricity consumption, Landlord shall install separate sub-meters to measure the use of electricity consumption by Tenant in the Premises and Test Bunkers as part of Landlord's Building Standard work. The meter(s) will be billed directly to the Tenant and Subsections 3.02(a)(v) and 3.02( d)(i), (ii) and (iii) shall be deemed deleted from the Lease. The allocation of the associated operating expense shall be adjusted accordingly (ie., Tenant shall only be responsible for its pro rata share of electricity for the common areas and shall not be responsible for the cost of electricity supplied to any other tenant suite in the Building.

 

6.
Sections 9.0l(a)(ii)(C) and (D) are re-numbered as Sections (D) and (E), respectively, and a new Section 9.01 (a)(ii)(C) is created to read as follows:

 

(C) which are applied equitably to all tenants in the Building;

 


7.
Section 10.02 is created to read:

 

10.02 Expansion to Second Building. Tenant may expand by delivering a written request to Landlord that Landlord construct a second building ("Building 2") on the Land and lease space therein to Tenant, on the following conditions:

 

10.02(a) Tenant must not be in default at the time it exercises the option;

 

10.02(b) Landlord and Tenant must agree on the terms of Tenant's lease for at least fifty percent (50.0%) of the space in Building 2 within thirty (30) days of Landlord's receipt of Tenant's request.

 

10.02(c) The target date for completion of Tenant's space in Building 2 will be not less than nine (9) months from the date Tenant signs the lease for the space.

 

8.
Section 10.03 is created to read:

 

10.03. Right of First Refusal. Landlord shall provide Tenant with advance written notice of its intention to lease all or any space in the Building or Building 2 whereupon Tenant shall have the right to add the space which Landlord proposes to lease (and any other adjacent space which is then vacant) to the Premises described herein by executing a new Reference Data page incorporating the additional space as part of the Premises within thirty (30) days of its receipt of Landlord's notice of intent, time being of the essence. The new Reference Data page shall provide a Build Out allowance of $20/RSF only if the space has not been previously occupied, shall have an effective date of the later of thirty days from execution or upon completion of the Building Standard work, and shall extend the then-current term of the Lease for at least five years from the effective date.

 

In witness whereof, Landlord and Tenant have signed this Addendum on October 22, 2001.

1.01.
Date and parties. This lease (Lease) is entered into between Old Sauk Trails Park Limited Partnership, as lessor (Landlord) and the tenant identified on the Reference Data page at the front of this Lease, as lessee (Tenant) for space in the building to be constructed on Lots 65 and 66, Old Sauk Trails Park, Sixth Addition, Madison, Wisconsin (Building).

Common areas include elevators, sidewalks, surface-lot parking areas, driveways, hallways, stairways, public bathrooms, common entrances, lobby, and other similar public areas and access ways. Landlord may change the common areas if the changes do not materially and unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s access to the Premises or use of them.

 

1.03. Use. Tenant shall use the Premises for business office purposes only, unless Landlord gives its advance written consent to another use which shall be evidenced by inclusion in the Reference Data. Landlord warrants that applicable laws, ordinances, regulations, and restrictive covenants permit the Premises to be used for any use permitted by the Lease. Tenant shall not create a nuisance or use the Premises for any immoral or illegal purposes.

 

1.04.Term.

(ii) the Target Date for each portion of the Premises, if said portion is substantially completed on that date; or

(iii) thirty (30) days after the delivery of the notice required by subsection 1.04(c), if the applicable part of the Premises is substantially completed on that date.

 

If the Commencement Date would be a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday listed in paragraph 3.02(b)(ii), the Commencement Date shall be the first business day following that Saturday, Sunday, or holiday. Within thirty days after the Commencement Date, the parties shall confirm the Commencement Date by an amendment to the Reference Data.

The Lease shall continue in force from the Commencement Date if said date is the first day of a calendar month, or else from the first day of the month following the Commencement Date for the term designated in the Reference Data, unless ended earlier pursuant to the terms of this Lease.

 

1.04(b). Substantial completion. Landlord shall use its best efforts to substantially complete the Premises by the Target Dates set in the Reference Data. Substantially complete means:

(iv) the Premises are ready for the installation of any equipment, furniture, fixtures, or decoration that Tenant will install;

(v) the following items are installed and in good operating order:

(B) hallways on floor on which Premises are located (including walls, flooring, ceiling, lighting, etc.),

(C) elevators, HVAC, utilities, and plumbing serving the Premises, and

(D) the doors and hardware; and

(vi) the Premises are broom clean.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


1.04(c). Notice. Landlord shall give Tenant at least thirty (30) days advance written notice of the estimated substantial completion date if different from the Target Date. If the estimated substantial completion date changes at any time after Landlord gives notice, then Landlord shall give thirty (30) calendar days advance notice of the new estimated substantial completion date.

 

1.04(d). Inspection and Punchlist. Before the Commencement Date, the parties shall inspect the Premises, have all systems demonstrated, and prepare a punch-list. The punch-list shall list incomplete, minor, or insubstantial details of construction; necessary mechanical adjustments, and needed finishing touches. Landlord will complete the punch-list items within thirty (30) days after the Commencement Date. Landlord will promptly correct any latent defects as they become known, if Tenant notifies Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant first learns of the defect.

 

1.04(e). Delayed Possession. Tenant may cancel this Lease if Landlord cannot deliver actual possession of the substantially complete Premises by one hundred and twenty (120) days after the Target Date. To cancel Tenant must give notice to Landlord within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Target Date and before Landlord gives notice to Tenant that the Premises are substantially complete. The one hundred and twenty (120) day and one hundred and eighty (180) day periods above shall be extended by the time equal to any period of delay caused by the Tenant. Within thirty (30) days after cancellation Landlord shall return to Tenant prepaid consideration including Rent and deposits.

ARTICLE 2 — RENT AND SECURITY

2.01. Rent. Tenant shall pay rent (Rent) to Landlord in the amounts designated in the Reference Data.

(a) Payment. The Rent shall be paid in equal monthly installments:

(ii) by the first day of each month during the Term; and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


(iii) to Landlord or to Landlord’s agent as identified in the Reference Data, or as Landlord may specify in writing to the Tenant.

 

If the Term does not begin on the first day or end on the last day of a month, the Rent for that partial month shall be prorated by multiplying the monthly Rent by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days of the partial month included in the Term and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the full calendar month.

 

(b) Late payment. If Tenant fails to pay part or all of the Rent or Additional Rent (section 2.02) within ten (10) days after it is due, the Tenant shall also pay:

(ii) interest at 18 percent per annum or the maximum then allowed by applicable law, whichever is less, on the remaining unpaid balance, retroactive to the date originally due until paid, but the interest accumulation shall stop after thirty (30) days unless Landlord gives Tenant written notice of the Tenant’s failure to pay Rent or Additional Rent within 30 days of the date payment was due.

 

2.02. Additional Rent. Tenant shall also pay its pro rata share of real estate taxes and operating expenses for the Property as Additional Rent in accordance with the following provisions.

 

2.02(a). Definitions.

 

(i) Tenant’s pro rata share, which is shown in the Reference Data, was calculated by dividing the rentable area of the Premises by the rentable area of the Building and expressing the fraction as a percentage.

(ii) Property means the Building and its equipment and systems, and the Land.

(iii) Real Estate Taxes means real property taxes and currently due installments of assessments, special or otherwise, imposed upon the Property, and reasonable legal fees, costs, and disbursements incurred for proceedings to contest, determine, or reduce Real Estate Taxes, but only to the extent the Real Estate Taxes are reduced.

Real Estate Taxes do not include:

(A) federal, state, or local income taxes,

(B) franchise, gift, transfer, excise, capital stock, estate, succession, or inheritance taxes,

(C) penalties or interest for late payment of Real Estate Taxes, and

 

 


(D) the portion of Real Estate Taxes that is allocable to any Building capital improvements made after the Building was fully assessed as a completed and occupied unit and the Lease was signed except to the extent the additional improvements benefit the Tenant.

(iv) Operating Expenses means Landlord’s operating expenses that are reasonable, actual and necessary, out-of-pocket, obtained at competitive prices, and that are directly attributable to the operation, maintenance, management, and repair of the Property, as determined under generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied, including:

(2) based upon Landlord’s negligence or other tortious conduct,

(3) relating to enforcing any leases except for enforcing lease provisions for the benefit of the Building tenants generally, or

(4) relating to the defense of Landlord’s title to, or interest in, the Property;

(J) management fees to a person or entity other than Landlord;

(K) the annual amortization over its useful life with a reasonable salvage value on a straight-line basis of the costs of any capital improvements made by

 

 


Landlord and (i) required by any changes in applicable laws, rules, or regulations of any governmental authorities enacted after the Building was assessed as a completed and occupied unit and the Lease was signed, or (ii) which are for the benefit of the Building tenants generally;

(L) the annual amortization over its useful life with a reasonable salvage value on a straight-line basis of the costs of any capital improvements made by Landlord as a labor-saving measure or to accomplish other savings in operating, repairing, managing, or maintaining the Property, after the Building was assessed as a completed and occupied unit and the Lease was signed, but only to the extent of the savings; and

(M) other costs reasonably necessary to operate, repair, manage, and maintain the Property in a first class manner and condition.

 

Operating Expenses exclude:

(A) Real Estate Taxes as defined in paragraph 2.02(a)(iii);

2.02(b). Adjustments. Operating Expenses as defined in paragraph 2.02(a)(iv) shall be adjusted as follows:

(i) Vacancy Adjustment. If, during the term of this Lease, any area of the Building reserved for occupancy by tenants is vacant, Landlord shall pay the Pro Rata Share of the Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes allocated to that area.

(ii) Credits/Reimbursements.

(iii) Increased Building Rentable Square Feet. If Landlord increases the Building’s rentable square feet after the Building was fully assessed as a completed and occupied unit and the Lease was signed, then the Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes attributable to the additional rentable square feet shall be included in the Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes and Tenant’s pro rata share shall be reduced using the same formula in paragraph 2.02(a)(i).

 

2.02(c). Payment by Landlord. Subject to reimbursement under subsection 2.02(d), Landlord shall pay the Property’s Operating Expenses and Real Estate Taxes before delinquency.

 

 


2.02(d). Payment by Tenant.

(i) From and after the commencement date of this Lease, the Tenant shall pay monthly, together with the Rent, Additional Rent in the amount designated in the Reference Data. Landlord reserves the right to adjust the amount of Additional Rent due from Tenant in accordance with the following paragraph (ii).

(ii) On or before January 21st of each year during the term of this Lease, or as soon thereafter as reasonably practical, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant:

(A) an itemized statement (Statement) showing the amount of Additional Rent received from Tenant together with the Real Estate Taxes and actual Operating Expenses for the prior year broken down by component expenses, such as repairs, management fees, utility charges and janitorial costs; and

(B) a budget showing the estimated cost for Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses for the next twelve calendar months and a calculation of the Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of Additional Rent for the next twelve months. Landlord shall supply, upon Tenant’s request, reasonable additional information to explain or support the Statement. Any adjustment of the amount of Additional Rent due from Tenant shall be effective, and paid by the Tenant, with the Monthly Rent payment which is due at least ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt of a revised Reference Data page for this Lease showing the adjusted amount of Additional Rent due from Tenant.

(iii) If the Statement shows that the amount of Tenant’s pro rata share for the prior year is less than the amount of Additional Rent paid by Tenant during that year, Landlord shall credit the difference to the installment(s) of Rent and Additional Rent next due from Tenant (or, after expiration of the Lease, mail a refund with the statement). If the Statement shows that the amount of Tenant’s pro rata share for the prior year is greater than the amount of Additional Rent paid by Tenant during that year, the difference shall be assessed to Tenant as Additional Rent and shall be due with the installment of Rent which is due thirty (30) days following Landlord’s delivery of an invoice for said assessment to Tenant. Any overpayment or underpayment of Additional Rent, including interest and penalty, shall survive the ending of the Lease.

(iv) For any year in which this Lease is not in effect for the complete calendar year, unless it was ended because of Tenant’s default, Tenant’s obligation for Additional Rent for that year shall be prorated by multiplying Tenant’s pro rata share by a fraction expressed as a percentage, the numerator of which is the number of days of the year included in the Term and the denominator of which is 365.

 

 


2.03. Personal Property Tax. Tenant shall pay, before they become delinquent, taxes assessed during the Term against trade fixtures or personal property placed by Tenant in the Premises. If these taxes are assessed against the Building, Tenant shall pay its share of the taxes to the Landlord within ten (10) days after receiving Landlord’s written statement setting forth the amount of taxes applicable to Tenant’s property and the basis for the charge to Tenant. Tenant’s failure to pay within the ten-day period shall entitle the Landlord to the same remedies it has upon Tenant’s failure to pay Rent.

 

2.04. Security Deposit. The Tenant has deposited the amount designated in the Reference Data (Security Deposit) with the Landlord to secure Tenant’s performance of its Lease obligations. If Tenant defaults Landlord may, after giving five (5) days advance notice to Tenant, without prejudice to Landlord’s other remedies, apply part or all of the Security Deposit to cure Tenant’s default. If Landlord so uses part or all of the Security Deposit, then Tenant shall within ten (10) days after written demand, pay Landlord the amount used to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount.

Any part of the Security Deposit not used by the Landlord as permitted by this section shall be returned to Tenant, without interest, within thirty (30) days after the Lease ends. If Landlord sells the Building then the Landlord shall be relieved of any liability for the Security Deposit and accumulated interest if the requirements of subsection 5.03(a) are met.

 

2.05. Sales Tax. Tenant shall pay sales, excise or any similar taxes which may be levied against the Rent, Additional Rent, or any other payments due to Landlord under this Lease.

 

ARTICLE 3 — AFFIRMATIVE OBLIGATIONS

 

3.01. Compliance with Laws.

3.01(a). Compliance at Commencement. Landlord and Tenant warrant, each to the other, that on the Commencement Date, the Premises and the Tenant’s use of the same, will comply with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations of governmental authorities (Applicable Laws). Any failure to comply with the Applicable Laws following notice from the other party and a reasonable period of cure shall constitute a default under this Lease.

 

3.01(b). Notice of Noncompliance. If there should be a change in the Applicable Laws which would cause either party to be found out of compliance therewith, that party shall immediately notify the other party and undertake all actions necessary to achieve compliance with the changed Laws, subject to the limits in the following subsection 3.01(c).

 

3.01(c). Compliance Limits. Either party, instead of complying with Applicable Laws as required by subsection 3.01(b), may cancel the Lease by giving prompt notice to the other if:

 

 


(i) the estimated cost to comply exceeds an amount equal to six months’ current rent

(A) due from Tenant to Landlord if Tenant is not in compliance; or

(B) due from all tenants in the Building then paying rent to Landlord if Landlord is not in compliance;

(ii)

less than twelve (12) months remain in the Term and Tenant does not have an option to extend the Term.

If either party (Canceling Party) cancels the Lease under (i) above, the other (Complying Party) may, within ten (10) days of receiving the Canceling Party’s notice, agree to achieve compliance with the Applicable Laws at its expense by giving notice to the Canceling Party and this Lease shall continue in effect. If the Complying Party incurs any expense in its exercise of this right, then the Canceling Party shall promptly reimburse the Complying Party the amount of the limit identified for the Canceling Party in (i) above, or the Complying Party’s actual cost of compliance, whichever is less.

 

3.02. Services and Utilities.

 

3.02(a). Services. Landlord shall provide at its expense, subject to reimbursement under subsection 2.02(d):

(i) Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) for the Premises during business hours to maintain temperatures for comfortable use and occupancy in light of Tenant’s space plan (Exhibit D);

(ii) Automatic passenger elevators providing adequate service leading to the floor on which the Premises are located;

(iii) Janitorial services to the Premises as specified in Exhibit F;

(iv) Hot and cold water sufficient for drinking, lavatory, toilet, and ordinary cleaning purposes to be drawn from approved fixtures in the Premises if shown on Exhibit D or on the floor on which the Premises are located;

(v) Electricity to the Premises during business hours that provides electric current in reasonable amounts necessary for normal office use, lighting, and HVAC;

(vi) Replacement of lighting tubes, lamp ballasts, and bulbs;

 

 


(vii) Extermination and pest control when necessary; and

(viii) Maintenance of common areas in a first class manner comparable to other first class office buildings in the area. The maintenance shall include cleaning, HVAC, illumination, snow shoveling, deicing, repairs, replacements, lawn care, and landscaping.

 

3.02(b). Business Hours. In section 3.02 business hours means:

(i) Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and

(ii) Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., but excludes the following holidays or the days on which the holidays are designated for observance: New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, July Fourth, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.

 

3.02(c). 24 Hour Access. Tenant, its employees, agents, and invitees shall have access to the Premises twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week. During nonbusiness hours Landlord may restrict access by requiring an entry or identification card issued by the Landlord. Landlord shall not be liable for denying entry to any person who does not have the required card.

Landlord may temporarily close the Building if required because of a life-threatening or Building-threatening situation. Landlord shall use its best efforts to close the Building during nonbusiness hours only. If, however, the Building must be closed during business hours, then the Rent and Additional Rent shall abate during any closing that lasts more than eight (8) consecutive business hours.

 

3.02(d). Extra Services. Whenever Landlord knows that any tenant (including Tenant) is using extra services because of either nonbusiness-hours use or high electricity consumption installations, the Landlord will directly charge that tenant for the extra use and exclude those charges form Operating Expenses. Extra services include:

(i) NonBusiness-Hours Use. HVAC and electricity required by Tenant during nonbusiness hours shall be supplied upon reasonable advance verbal notice. If more than one tenant directly benefits from these services then the cost shall be allocated proportionately between or among the benefitting tenants based upon the amount of time each tenant benefits and the square footage each leases.

(ii) Excess Utility Use. Tenant shall not place or operate in the Premises any electrically operated equipment or other machinery, other than typewriters, personal computers, adding machines, reproduction machines, and other machinery and equipment normally used in offices, unless Tenant receives Landlord’s advance written consent. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its consent. But Landlord

 

 


may require payment for the extra use of electricity caused by operating this equipment or machinery.

Landlord may require that special, high electricity consumption installations of Tenant such as computer or reproduction facilities (except personal computers or normal office photocopy machines) be separately ventilated or sub-metered for electrical consumption at Tenant’s cost.

(iii) Payment. Tenant’s charges for the utilities provided under (i) and (ii) above shall be the lesser of:

(A) one hundred and ten percent (110%) of Landlord’s actual cost of labor and utilities; or

(B) the lowest rate charged to any other tenant in the Building for extra services during the calendar year.

Tenant’s failure to pay the charges in (i) and (ii) above within thirty (30) days of receiving a proper and correct invoice shall entitle Landlord to the same remedies it has upon Tenant’s failure to pay Rent.

 

3.02(e). Interruption of Services.

(i) Interruptions. Landlord does not warrant that any services Landlord supplies will not be interrupted. Services may be interrupted because of accidents, repairs, alterations, improvements, or any reason beyond the reasonable control of the Landlord. Except as noted in (ii) below, any interruption shall not:

(A) be considered an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use and possession of the Premises;

(B) make Landlord liable to Tenant for damages;

(C) abate Rent or Additional Rent; or

(D) relieve Tenant from performing Tenant’s Lease obligations.

(ii) Remedy. If any essential services (such as HVAC, passenger elevators, electricity, water) supplied by Landlord are interrupted, and the interruption does not result from the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its employees, invitees, or agents, Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Rent and Additional Rent. The abatement shall begin on the third consecutive business day of the interruption or when Tenant stops using the Premises because of the interruption, whichever is later. The abatement shall end on the second day after the services are restored. Tenant shall have the option to cancel the Lease if the interruption unreasonably and materially interferes with Tenant’s use of or access to the Premises for at least thirty (30) consecutive days and Landlord is not exercising its best efforts to restore the services. To exercise this

 

 


option Tenant must give Landlord notice of the cancellation within ten (10) days from the end of the thirty (30) day period.

 

3.03. Repairs and Maintenance.

 

3.03(a). Tenant’s Care of Premises. Tenant shall:

(i) keep the Premises and fixtures in good order;

(ii) make repairs and replacements to the Premises or Building needed because of Tenant’s misuse or primary negligence, except to the extent that the repairs or replacements are covered by Landlord’s insurance or the insurance Landlord is required to carry under Article 5, whichever is greater;

(iii) repair and replace special equipment or decorative treatments installed by or at Tenant’s request and that serve the Premises only, except

(A) to the extent the repairs or replacements are needed because of Landlord’s misuse or primary negligence, and are not covered by Tenant’s insurance or the insurance Tenant is required to carry under Article 5, whichever is greater; or

(B) if the Lease is ended under sections 6.01 (Damage) or 6.02 (Condemnation) or 7.03 (Landlord’s Default); and

(iv) not commit waste.

 

3.03(b). Landlord’s Repairs. Except for repairs and replacements that Tenant must make under subsection 3.03(a), Landlord shall make all other repairs and replacements to the Premises, common areas and Building (including Building fixtures and equipment).

This maintenance shall include the roof, foundation, exterior walls, interior structural walls, all structural components, and all systems such as mechanical, electrical, HVAC, and plumbing.

 

3.03(c). Time for Repairs. Repairs or replacements required under subsections 3.03(a) or 3.03(b) shall be made within a reasonable time (depending on the nature of the repair or replacement needed) after receiving notice or having actual knowledge of the need for a repair or replacement.

 

 


3.03(d). Surrendering the Premises. Upon the last day of the initial or of the last extension term elected by Tenant (if any), Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in the same broom clean condition that the Premises were in on the Commencement Date except for:

(i) ordinary wear and tear;

(ii) damage by the elements, fire, and other casualty unless Tenant would be required to repair under subsection 3.03(a);

(iii) condemnation;

(iv) damage arising from any cause not required to be repaired or replaced by Tenant; and

(v) alterations as permitted by this Lease unless consent was conditioned on their removal.

 

On surrender Tenant shall remove from the Premises its personal property, trade fixtures, and any alterations required to be removed under section 4.01 and repair any damage to the Premises caused by the removal. Any items not removed by Tenant as required above shall be considered abandoned. Landlord may dispose of abandoned items as Landlord chooses and bill the Tenant for the cost of their disposal, minus any revenues received by Landlord for their disposal.

5.01. Insurance.

 

5.01(a). Building Insurance. Landlord shall keep the Building, including the Improvements (section 1.05 and Exhibits D and E), insured against damage and destruction by fire, earthquake, vandalism, and other perils in the amount of the full replacement value of the Building, as the value may exist from time to time. The insurance shall include an extended coverage endorsement of the kind required by an institutional lender to repair and restore the Building.

 

 


5.01(b). Property Insurance. Each party shall keep its personal property and trade fixtures in the Premises and Building insured with “all risks” insurance in an amount to cover one hundred (100) percent of the replacement cost of the property and fixtures. Tenant shall also keep any non-Building-standard improvements made to the Building at Tenant’s request insured to the same degree as Tenant’s personal property.

 

5.01(c). Liability Insurance. Each party shall maintain contractual and comprehensive general liability insurance, including public liability and property damage, with a minimum combined single limit of liability of two million dollars ($2,000,000.00) for personal injuries or deaths of persons occurring in or about the Building and Premises.

 

5.01(d). Waiver of Subrogation. Each party waives claims arising in any manner in its (Injured Party’s) favor and against the other party for loss or damage to its property located within or constituting a part or all of the Building. This waiver applies to the extent the loss or damage is covered by:

(i) the Injured Party’s insurance; or

(ii) the insurance the Injured Party is required to carry under Article 5, whichever is greater. The waiver also applies to each party’s directors, officers, employees, shareholders, and agents. The waiver does not apply to claims caused by a party’s willful misconduct

 

If despite a party’s best efforts it cannot find an insurance company meeting the criteria in subsection 5.01(f) that will give the waiver at reasonable commercial rates, then it shall give notice to the other party within thirty (30) days after the Lease’s Commencement Date. The other party shall then have thirty (30) days to find an insurance company that will issue the waiver. If the other party also cannot find such an insurance company, then both parties shall be released from their obligation to obtain the waiver.

 

If an insurance company is found but it will give the waiver only at rates greater than reasonable commercial rates, then the parties can agree to pay for the waiver under any agreement they can negotiate. If the parties cannot in good faith negotiate an agreement, then both parties shall be released from their obligation to obtain the waiver.

 

5.01(e). Increase in Insurance. The amounts of coverage required by this Lease are subject to review at the end of the initial term and of each renewal term, if any. At each review, if necessary to maintain the same level of coverage that existed on the Commencement Date, the amounts of coverage shall be increased to the lesser of

 

 


(i) the amounts of coverage carried by prudent Landlords and Tenants of comparable first class office buildings in the area; or

(ii) twenty-five (25) percent higher than the previous insurance amounts.

Either party may make the review and request appropriate increases based upon this review within sixty (60) days after the preceding lease term ends. If the parties do not agree to the amount of the increase, then the party requesting the increase may submit the dispute to arbitration under section 11.01 within thirty (30) days of the request for the increase. Landlord shall not request increased insurance unless it makes, at appropriate times, similar requests of all other tenants whose insurance coverage is below the amount carried by prudent tenants of similar buildings.

 

5.01(f). Insurance Criteria. Insurance policies required by this Lease shall:

(i) be issued by insurance companies licensed to do business in the state of Wisconsin with general policyholder’s ratings of at least A and a financial rating of at least XI in the most current Best’s Insurance Reports available on the date in section 1.01. If the Best’s ratings are changed or discontinued, the parties shall agree to an equivalent method of rating insurance companies. If the parties cannot agree they shall submit the dispute to arbitration under section 11.01;

(ii) name the nonprocuring party as an additional insured as its interest may appear; other landlords or tenants may also be added as additional insureds in a blanket policy;

(iii) provide that the insurance may not be canceled or materially changed in the scope or amount of coverage unless ten (10) days’ advance notice is given to the non-procuring party;

(iv) be primary policies-not as contributing with, or in excess of, the coverage that the other party may carry;

(v) be permitted to be carried through a “blanket policy” or “umbrella” coverage;

The certificate shall specify amounts, types of coverage, the waiver of subrogation, and the insurance criteria listed in subsection 5.01(f). The policies shall be renewed or replaced and maintained by the party responsible for that policy. If either party fails to give the required certificate within thirty (30) days after notice of demand for it, the other party may obtain and pay for that insurance and receive reimbursement from the party required to have the insurance.

 

5.02. Indemnification.

 

5.02(a). Tenant’s Indemnity. Tenant indemnifies, defends, and holds Landlord harmless from claims:

(i) for personal injury, death, or property damage;

(ii) for incidents arising in or about the Premises or Building; and

(iii) caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its agents, employees, or invitees. When the claim is caused by the joint negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant and Landlord or Tenant and a third party unrelated to Tenant, except its agents, employees, or invitees, Tenant’s duty to defend, indemnify, and hold Landlord harmless shall be in proportion to Tenant’s allocable share of the joint negligence or willful misconduct.

 

5.02(b). Landlord’s Indemnity. Landlord indemnifies defends, and holds Tenant harmless from claims:

(i) for personal injury, death, or property damage;

(ii) for incidents occurring in or about the Premises or Building; and

5.02(c). Release of Claims. Notwithstanding subsections 5.02(a) and (b), the parties release each other from any claims either party (Injured Party) has against the other. This release is

 

 


limited to the extent the claim is covered by the Injured Party’s insurance or the insurance the Injured Party is required to carry under Article 5, whichever is greater.

 

5.03. Limitation of Landlord’s liability.

 

5.03(a). Transfer of Premises. If the Building is sold or transferred, voluntarily or involuntarily, the Landlord’s Lease obligations and liabilities accruing after the transfer shall be the sole responsibility of the new owner if:

(i) the new owner expressly agrees in writing to assume these obligations; and

(ii) the Tenant’s funds that the Landlord is holding, such as the Security Deposit, are given to the new owner.

 

5.03(b). Liability for Money Judgment. If Landlord, its employees, officers, or partners are ordered to pay Tenant a money judgment because of Landlord’s default, then except in those instances listed in subsection 5.03(c), Tenant’s sole remedy to satisfy the judgment shall be:

(i) Landlord’s interest in the Building and Land including the rental income and proceeds from sale; and

(ii) any insurance or condemnation proceeds received because of damage or condemnation to, or of, the Building or Land that are available for use by Landlord.

 

5.03(c). Exceptions. Subsection 5.03(b) does not apply when:

(i) Landlord failed to apply insurance or condemnation proceeds as required by the Lease;

(ii) Landlord misappropriated escrow funds; or

(iii) Landlord violated the warranties contained in section 12.12.

 

Nothing in subsections 5.03(a), (b), or (c) shall be interpreted to mean that Tenant cannot be awarded specific performance or an injunction.

[Article 6 begins on the following page]

 

 


ARTICLE 6 — LOSS OF PREMISES

6.01. Damage.

 

6.01(a). Definition. “Relevant Space” means:

(i) the Premises as defined in section 1.02, excluding Tenant’s non-Building-Standard fixtures;

(ii) access to the Premises; and

(iii) any part of the Building that provides essential services to the Premises.

 

6.01(b). Repair of Damage. If the Relevant Space is damaged in part or whole from any cause and the Relevant Space can be substantially repaired and restored within one hundred and twenty (120) days from the date of the damage using standard working methods and procedures, Landlord shall at its expense promptly and diligently repair and restore the Relevant Space to substantially the same condition as existed before the damage. This repair and restoration shall be made within one hundred and twenty days from the date of the damage unless the delay is due to causes beyond Landlord’s reasonable control.

 

If the Relevant Space cannot be repaired and restored within one hundred and twenty (120) day period, then either party may, within ten (10) days after determining that the repairs and restoration cannot be made within one hundred and twenty (120) days (as prescribed in subsection 6.01(c)), cancel the Lease by giving notice to the other party. Nevertheless, if the Relevant Space is not repaired and restored within one hundred and twenty (120) days from the date of the damage, then the Tenant may cancel the Lease at any time after the one hundred and twentieth (120th) day and before the one hundred and fiftieth (150th) day following the date of damage. Tenant shall not be able to cancel this Lease if its willful misconduct caused the damage unless the Landlord is not promptly and diligently repairing and restoring the Relevant Space.

 

6.01(c). Determining the Extent of Damage. If the parties cannot agree within fifteen (15) days after the date of the damage whether the repairs and restoration described in subsection 6.01(b) will take more than one hundred and twenty (120) days to make, then the determination will be submitted to arbitration under section 11.01.

 

6.01(d). Abatement. Unless the damage is caused by Tenant’s willful misconduct, the Rent and Additional Rent shall abate in proportion to that part of the Premises that is unfit for use in Tenant’s business. The abatement shall consider the nature and extent of interference to Tenant’s ability to conduct business in the Premises and the need for access and essential services. The abatement shall continue from the date the damage occurred until the later of:

 

 


(i) the date on which the repairs to the Premises are completed if the Landlord has given Tenant at least ten (10) days’ notice of said completion date; or

(ii) five (5) business days after Landlord completes the repairs and restoration to the Relevant Space or the part rendered unusable.

 

6.01(e). Tenant’s Property. Notwithstanding anything else in Article 6, Landlord is not obligated to repair or restore damage to Tenant’s trade fixtures, furniture, equipment, or other personal property, or any Tenant improvements other than those listed on Exhibit E.

 

6.01(f). Damage to Building. If:

(i) more than forty (40) percent of the Building is damaged and the Landlord decides not to repair and restore the Building;

(ii) any mortgagee of the Building shall not allow adequate insurance proceeds for repair and restoration;

(iii) the damage is not covered by Landlord’s insurance required by subsections 5.01(a) and (b); or

(iv) the Lease is in the last twelve (12) months of its Term,

then Landlord may cancel this Lease. To cancel Landlord must give notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after the damage. The notice must specify the cancellation date, which date shall be at least sixty (60) but not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date notice is given.

 

6.01(g). Cancellation. If either party cancels this Lease as permitted by section 6.01, then this Lease shall end on the day specified in the cancellation notice. The Rent and Additional Rent and other charges shall be payable up to the cancellation date and shall account for any abatement. Landlord shall promptly refund to Tenant any prepaid or unaccrued Rent, accounting for any abatement, plus Security Deposit, if any, less any sum then owing by Tenant to Landlord. If Landlord cancels this Lease as permitted by section 6.01, then Landlord must also cancel all other similarly affected tenant leases in the Building.

 

6.02. Condemnation.

 

 


6.02(a). Definitions. The terms “eminent domain,” “condemnation,” “taken,” and the like in section 6.02 include takings for public or quasi-public use and private purchases in place of condemnation by any authority authorized to exercise the power of eminent domain.

 

6.02(b). Entire Taking. If the entire Premises or the portions of the Building required for reasonable access to, or the reasonable use of, the Premises are taken by eminent domain, this Lease shall automatically end on the earlier of:

(i) the date title vests; or

(ii) the date Tenant is dispossessed by the condemning authority.

 

6.02(c). Partial Taking. If the taking of a part of the Premises materially interferes with Tenant’s ability to continue its business operations in substantially the same manner and space then Tenant may end this Lease on the earlier of:

(i) the date when title vests; or

(ii) the date Tenant is dispossessed by the condemning authority.

 

If there is a partial taking and this Lease continues, then the Lease shall end as to the part taken and the Rent and Additional Rent shall abate in proportion to the part of the Premises taken and Tenant’s pro rata share shall be equitably reduced.

 

6.02(d). Termination by Landlord. If title to a part of the Building other than the Premises is condemned, and in the Landlord’s reasonable opinion, the Building should be restored in a manner that materially alters the Premises, Landlord may cancel this Lease by giving notice to Tenant. Cancellation notice shall be given within sixty (60) days following the date title vested. This Lease shall end on the date specified in the cancellation notice, which date shall be at least sixty (60) but not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the date notice is given.

 

6.02(e). Rent Adjustment. If the Lease is canceled as provided in subsections 6.02(b), (c), or (d), then the Rent, Additional Rent, and other charges shall be payable up to the cancellation date, and shall account for any abatement. Landlord, considering any abatement, shall promptly refund to Tenant any prepaid or unaccrued Rent plus Security Deposit, if any, less any sum then owing by Tenant to Landlord.

 

6.02(f). Repair. If the Lease is not canceled as provided for in subsections 6.02(b), (c), or (d), then Landlord at its expense shall promptly repair and restore the Premises to the condition that

 

 


existed immediately before the taking, except for the part taken, to render the Premises a complete architectural unit, but only to the extent of the:

(i) condemnation award received for the damage; and

(ii) Building Standard Work.

 

6.02(g). Awards and Damages. Landlord reserves all rights to damages paid because of any partial or entire taking of the Premises. Tenant assigns to Landlord any right Tenant may have to the damages or award. Further, Tenant shall not make claims against Landlord or the condemning authority for damages.

Notwithstanding anything else in subsection 6.02(g), Tenant may claim and recover from the condemning authority a separate award for Tenant’s moving expenses, business dislocation damages, Tenant’s personal property and fixtures, the unamortized costs of leasehold improvements paid for by Tenant, excluding the Landlord’s Buildout described in section 1.05 and Exhibits D and E, and any other award that would not substantially reduce the award payable to Landlord. Each party shall seek its own award, as limited above, at its own expense, and neither shall have any right to the award made to the other.

 

6.02(h). Temporary Condemnation. If part or all of the Premises are condemned for a limited period of time (Temporary Condemnation), this Lease shall remain in effect. The Rent and Additional Rent and Tenant’s obligations for the part of the Premises taken shall abate during the Temporary Condemnation in proportion to the part of the Premises that Tenant is unable to use in its business operations as a result of the Temporary Condemnation. Landlord shall receive the entire award for any Temporary Condemnation.

(iii) Tenant’s failure to perform or observe any other Tenant obligation after a period of thirty (30) business days or the additional time, if any, that is reasonably necessary to promptly and diligently cure the failure, after it receives notice from Landlord setting forth in reasonable detail the nature and extent of the failure and identifying the applicable Lease provision(s);

(iv) Tenant’s abandoning or vacating the Premises if Tenant fails to timely pay the Rent and Additional Rent by the due date;

(v) Tenant’s failure to vacate or stay any of the following within ninety (90) days after they occur:

(D) Tenant makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors.

 

7.02. Landlord’s Remedies.

 

7.02(a). Remedies. Landlord in addition to the remedies given in this Lease or under the law, may do any one or more of the following if Tenant commits a Default under section 7.01:

(i) end this Lease, and Tenant shall then surrender the Premises to Landlord; and

(ii) enter and take possession of the Premises as provided by law and remove Tenant, with or without having ended the Lease.

 

Tenant waives claims for damages by reason of Landlord’s reentry or repossession and for damages by reason of any legal process.

 

7.02(b). No Surrender. Landlord’s exercise of any of its remedies or its receipt of Tenant’s keys shall not be considered an acceptance of surrender of the Premises by Tenant. A surrender must be agreed to in a writing signed by both parties.

 

7.02(c). Rent. If Landlord ends this Lease or ends Tenant’s right to possess the Premises because of a Default, Landlord may hold Tenant liable for Rent, Additional Rent, and other indebtedness accrued to the date the Lease Ends. Tenant shall also be liable for the Rent, Additional Rent and other indebtedness that otherwise would have been payable by Tenant during the remainder of the Term had there been no Default, reduced by any sums Landlord receives by reletting the Premises during the Term.

 

 


7.02(d). Other Expenses. Tenant shall also be liable for that part of the following sums paid by Landlord and attributable to that part of the Term ended due to Tenant’s Default:

(i) reasonable broker’s fees incurred by Landlord for reletting part or all of the Premises prorated for that part of the reletting Term ending concurrently with the then current Term of this Lease;

(ii) the cost of removing and storing Tenant’s property;

(iii) the cost of minor repairs, alterations, and remodeling, necessary to put the Premises in a condition reasonably acceptable to a new Tenant; and

(iv) other necessary and reasonable expenses incurred by Landlord in enforcing its remedies.

 

7.02(e). Payment. Tenant shall pay the sums due in subsections 7.02(c) and (d) within thirty (30) days of receiving Landlord’s proper and correct invoice for the amounts.

 

7.02(f). Mitigation. Landlord shall mitigate its damage by making reasonable efforts to relet the Premises on reasonable terms. Landlord may relet for a shorter or longer period of time than the Lease Term and make any necessary repairs or alterations. Landlord may relet on any reasonable terms including a reasonable amount of free rent. If Landlord relets for a period of time longer than the current Lease Term, then any special concessions given to the new Tenant shall be allocated throughout the entire reletting Term so as not to unduly reduce the amount of consideration received by Landlord during the remaining period of Tenant’s term.

 

7.03. Landlord’s Default. Landlord’s failure to perform or observe any of its Lease obligations after a period of thirty (30) business days or the additional time, if any, that is reasonably necessary to promptly and diligently cure the failure after receiving notice from Tenant is a Default. The notice shall give reasonable detail the nature and extent of the failure and identify the Lease provision(s) containing the obligation(s). After Tenant receives notice of a Mortgagee’s name and address and request for notice upon Landlord’s Default, Tenant shall also provide the notice required by this section to the Mortgagee at the same time Tenant gives notice to Landlord. If Landlord commits a Default, Tenant may pursue any remedies given in this Lease or under the law.

 

7.04. Exception to Cure Periods. The cure periods in paragraphs 7.01(a)(iii) and 7.03 do not apply to:

(a) emergencies;

(b) failure to maintain the insurance required by section 5.01.

The Nondefaulting Party may enter the Premises or Building to cure the Default. The Defaulting Party shall pay the Nondefaulting Party, upon demand, all costs, expenses, and disbursements incurred by the Nondefaulting Party to cure the Default.

(iii) Tenant will attorn to and recognize the mortgagee or purchaser at foreclosure sale (Successor Landlord) as Tenant’s landlord for the remaining Term; and

(iv) The Successor Landlord shall not be bound by:

(C) any liability for any act or omission of a prior Landlord.

(i) the accuracy of the Lease document;

(ii) the Commencement and Termination Dates of the Lease;

(iii) that the Lease is unmodified and in full effect or in full effect as modified, stating the date and nature of the modification;

(v) to other correct and reasonably ascertainable facts that are covered by the Lease terms.

 

8.02(b). Remedy. The Answering Party’s failure to comply with its obligation in subsection 2(a) shall be a Default. Notwithstanding paragraphs 7.01(a)(iii) and 7.03, the cure period for this Default shall be five (5) business days after the Answering Party receives notice of the Default.

 

8.03. Quiet Possession. If Tenant is not in default, and subject to the Lease terms and the above encumbrances, Tenant’s peaceable and quiet enjoyment of the Premises shall not be disturbed by anyone.
