Preamble

The Landlord is the owner of a plot of land at the postal address Bennigsen-Platz 1 in 40474 Düsseldorf, which is highlighted in red in the layout plan attached hereto as Annex 1 and is hereinafter also referred to as the “Lease Property”. A 11-floor building known as “B1” is built on the Lease Property. Car parking spaces are available in the underground parking garage and in the outdoor areas.

Now, therefore, as a result of previous negotiations between them, the Parties hereby enter into the following commercial Lease Agreement:

§ 1

Lease Object

 

1.1 The following premises in the “B1” building at postal address Bennigsen-Platz 1 in 40474 Düsseldorf shall be leased hereunder:

 

  a) the office and ancillary spaces on the 11th OG floor as highlighted in red in the layout plan attached hereto as Annex 2a for exclusive use, and pro rata common and circulation areas with a total size of approx. 1,543.00 m²,

 

  b) the office and ancillary spaces on the 10th OG floor as highlighted in red in the layout plan attached hereto as Annex 2b for exclusive use, and pro rata common and circulation areas with a total size of approx. 1,182.00 m²,

 

  c) the 25 car parking spaces in the 2nd and 3rd basements highlighted in red in the layout plan attached hereto as Annex 2c, specifically the parking spaces numbered 14 to 17 and 31 to 39 in the 2nd basement and the parking spaces numbered 14 to 17 and 32 to 39 in the 3rd basement, and two outdoor parking spaces also highlighted in red in the layout plan attached hereto as Annex 2d, specifically parking spaces numbered 9 and 10, for exclusive use.

The premises and parking spaces leased for exclusive use are hereinafter also collectively referred to as the “Lease Object”. The roof and the facades of the building as well as the wall surfaces outside the Lease Object are not included in the Lease.

The Landlord shall have the right to change the location of the car parking spaces at its equitable discretion (Sec. 315 of the German Civil Code [Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch – BGB]).

 

1.2 The area sizes specified at § 1.1 have been calculated in accordance with the “Standard for Calculating the Rental Area of Commercial Premises (RA-C) [Richtlinie zur Berechnung der Mietfläche für gewerblichen Raum (MF-G)], version of November 2004”, issued by the “gif Gesellschaft für immobilienwirtschaftliche Forschung e.V”. Therefore, the area sizes stated at § 1.1 specifically also include the common areas and circulation areas pertaining to the rental areas with exclusive right of use (lobby, corridors, staircases) and technical operating areas (lift, shafts, etc.) of the building.

In the event that part of the rental areas is no longer required to be included in the Lease due to special requests of the Tenant, the Tenant shall, as far as the rent and ancillary costs/advance payments on ancillary costs are concerned, put the Landlord in the same position it would be in if those rental areas were still included in the Lease. This shall apply in particular to internal connecting stairs and shafts and/or shaft areas.

 

Page 3 of 25


1.3 The above-ground rental areas are leased out exclusively for use of the Lease Object as offices. The Tenant will operate a topic-based Internet portal in the Leased spaces, in particular [sic!] and in connection with the referral of travel services. It is permitted to expand its area of business, subject to the Landlord’s prior written consent. The Landlord may withhold its consent only for good cause. Good cause to do so shall be deemed to exist if, for instance, the intended expansion of the area of business conflicts with the protection against competition granted to another tenant. The Tenant shall inform the Landlord in writing without undue delay and ask for its consent if and when it plans to expand the area of business it operates in the Leased spaces.

 

1.4 The Landlord shall be responsible for obtaining any permits/authorisations under building regulations which may be required for use of the Lease Object for the purpose agreed in § 1.3. The Landlord shall also be responsible for complying with all regulations and subsequent requirements or conditions imposed by public authorities which are based exclusively on the general structural condition and/or location of the Lease Object. The Tenant, on the other hand, shall be responsible for obtaining and maintaining, at its own cost, all other permits/authorisations that may be required for its commercial activity and for complying with any requirements or conditions attached to them. The Tenant shall also be responsible for ensuring compliance with the German Workplace Regulations [Arbeitsstättenverordnung – ArbeitsstättenVO] at ist own cost. Moreover, the Tenant shall, at its own cost, comply with all regulations and subsequent requirements or conditions which may be imposed by public authorities in the future with respect to its use of the Lease Object, including if any orders to this effect are issued against the Landlord, unless the regulations and subsequent requirements or conditions concerned are again based exclusively on the general structural condition or location of the Lease Object. In the latter case, such regulations and subsequent requirements or conditions shall be complied with by the Landlord.

 

1.5 Impairments of the use of the Lease Object caused by third parties or by external circumstances for which the Landlord is not responsible, such as traffic detours, excavation works, road closures, nuisances due to noise, odour and dust, etc. shall not give rise to any warranty claims of the Tenant.

The Tenant acknowledges that other rental units in the building may not yet be completed by the time the Lease Object is handed over. Any impairments which may occur in connection with the completion of those spaces shall be tolerated by the Tenant; the Tenant shall not be entitled to any warranty claims on that basis, unless use of the Lease Object is restricted to such an extent that use is made impossible. However, in carrying out the works to complete the other rental units and/or common areas, the Landlord shall take care to keep adverse effects on the business operations of the Tenant to a minimum.

§ 2

Condition and furnishing and equipment of the Lease Object

 

2.1 The location and division of the rental areas leased for exclusive use can be seen in the layout plans attached hereto as Annexes 2 a, b and c. In the event that the location of the partition walls or doors changes during the fit-out works, the Parties shall enter into an Addendum after handover of the Lease Object by which the updated layout plans shall be made part of this Agreement.

 

Page 4 of 25


2.2 The standard fit-out of the rental areas leased for exclusive use and of the generally accessible common areas of the building is described in the general specifications of the construction works, quality and equipment attached hereto as Annex 3.

The Landlord shall have the right to deviate from the provisions of the general specifications of the construction works, quality and equipment at its equitable discretion in the following cases:

 

  a) if the deviation arises due to the intended further optimisation of the current design and the new execution is equivalent or better, or

 

  b) if and to the extent that the building permit authority requires changes to be made, or orders changes to be made and/or imposes subsequent requirements or conditions, or the Landlord has to make changes, or

 

  c) if and to the extent required due to existing decisions to adopt an urban land use plan or existing dedications of circulation areas or necessary coordination with utility providers with respect to ducts, shafts, pipes and cables and other installations running across the Lease Property, or

 

  d) if required or deemed expedient for technical reasons and the new execution is equivalent. Execution shall be deemed equivalent if it corresponds to the execution originally intended in technical and economic terms and with respect to fitness for use without any significant differences. Purely visual differences shall not be taken into account in assessing equivalence.

 

2.1 To be able to complete the conversion/fit-out works as agreed by commencement of the Lease on 15 December 2011, the joint selection of material samples by the Parties must be completed by 15 September 2011. If this deadline cannot be complied with, or if the written confirmation from the Tenant – if required – of reimbursement of any additional costs according to the foregoing provision has not been received, the Landlord cannot ensure that the conversion/fit-out works will be completed in due time before commencement of the Lease. In this case, any delays of handover of the Lease Object shall be deemed to be the responsibility of the Tenant and not that of the Landlord.

 

2.2 Execution of the Lease Object in accordance with Annex 3 is hereby acknowledged as being in compliance with the contract. If any further (structural) measures are required for the permits/authorisations under public law to be [sic!] by the Tenant for its business operations, the Tenant shall arrange for such measures to be taken at its own cost.

Any objects and/or furniture items shown in the foregoing documents are not part of the contract and not owed by the Landlord, unless those parts of the work are expressly stated in Annex 3 as forming part of the contractual scope of work.

 

2.3 If it turns out afterwards that the documents referred to as a basis for the description of the Lease Object at § 2.1 to § 2.4 contain errors or unresolvable contradictions, or that they are missing information, the Landlord shall have the right to make the necessary adjustments at its equitable discretion, or to make such decisions at its equitable discretion as are appropriate to rectify the errors, resolve the contradictions or fill the gaps, while ensuring the highest possible degree of equivalence.

 

2.4

The building shall be supplied with heat via district heating and the Leased spaces shall be supplied with heating and cooling via cooling ceilings and facade-integrated ventilation units in accordance with the provisions of the general specifications of the construction

 

Page 5 of 25


  works, quality and equipment attached hereto as Annex 3. The scope of heating, cooling and ventilation services owed by the Landlord under the contract and the maximum room temperatures to be achieved with them, as well as the requirements to be met in this regard by the Tenant are also specified in Annex 3 and are hereby accepted as being in compliance with the contract. This is also accepted by the Tenant as being in compliance with the contract. The draft design for the building services is also described in the general specifications of the construction works, quality and equipment attached hereto as Annex 3. If the Tenant considers further action necessary to limit the room temperature (e.g. by installing additional interior shading solutions or subsequent addition of air conditioning or ventilation systems), the Tenant shall be responsible, at its own cost, for procuring them and for implementing the necessary actions.

§ 3

Lease term

 

3.1 The Lease shall commence upon handover of the Leased spaces to the Tenant, however, at the latest on 15 December 2011. It is entered into for a fixed term until 31 December 2017. Within this period, it cannot be terminated by either Party for convenience.

 

3.2 The Tenant is granted an option to renew the Lease twice on the terms of this Agreement for another 3 years each time. This option must be exercised in writing at the latest 13 months before the end of the initial Lease term, or before the end of the relevant option term, respectively. Otherwise the option shall lapse. The date when the notice of exercise of the option is received by the Landlord shall be controlling in determining whether this time limit has been complied with.

 

3.3 After expiry of the initial Lease term or of the relevant option term, respectively, the Lease shall automatically renew for successive terms of one year in each case unless terminated by one of the Parties 12 months prior to expiry of the initial term or of the relevant renewal term. The date on which the notice of termination is received by the respective other Party shall be controlling in determining whether notice has been given on time.

 

3.4 The right to extraordinary termination without notice for both Parties shall be governed by the statutory provisions. Apart from that, the Landlord shall have the right to terminate the Lease by extraordinary termination without notice if and when

 

  a) the Tenant defaults on submitting or replenishing the rental security; or

 

  b) a petition for the opening of insolvency proceedings with respect to the assets of the Tenant is dismissed for insufficiency of assets, or insolvency proceedings which have been opened with respect to the assets of the Tenant are discontinued for insufficiency of assets.

 

3.5 Any notice of termination, rescission or exercise of an option must be given in writing to be valid. This requirement of written form is a condition for the validity of a notice of termination, rescission or exercise of an option and cannot be waived.

 

3.6 If the Tenant continues to use the Lease Object after expiry of the Lease term, the Lease shall not thereby be deemed renewed for an indefinite period of time; Sec. 545 BGB is hereby expressly excluded.

§ 4

Handover of the Lease Object

 

4.1 The Lease Object shall be handed over to the Tenant during a joint site inspection upon commencement of the Lease. The Tenant cannot demand that the Lease Object be handed over unless the agreed rental security (§ 10) has been furnished for the full amount.

The Tenant shall be under an obligation to accept handover of the Lease Object if the Leased spaces and parking spaces to be handed over are ready for handover at the times concerned. The Leased spaces and parking spaces shall be deemed to be ready for handover if the Tenant can, by objective standards, be reasonably expected to use the Lease Object for its business operations, taking into account the fit-out condition to be provided by the Landlord according to the provisions of § 2. Therefore, defects and/or minor residual works inside the Lease Object shall not hinder readiness for handover; the same shall apply to any works in the outdoor areas and/or common areas of the building which remain outstanding, provided that the access way to the Lease Object must be completed to such a degree that the Lease Object can be used without any risk or problem.

 

4.2 Handover of the Leased spaces to the Tenant shall be documented in a handover report which shall be signed by both Parties and in which any findings and statements of the Parties shall be noted. If such findings or statements are unilateral and/or disputed, this fact shall be noted accordingly. For that reason, the inclusion of such statements in the acceptance report must not be denied. If the Tenant does not agree with the content of the report, it shall state its disagreement in the form of written comments to this effect in the report, with reasons. The effect of acceptance shall not be affected thereby. Each Party shall receive a counterpart of the report.

 

4.3 The Landlord shall execute and/or remedy the defects identified by mutual consent of the Parties in the handover report within a reasonable period of time. The remedial works shall be carried out during normal business hours on business days. If the Tenant requires that those works be carried out at different times, in particular at night or on Saturdays, Sundays or public holidays, it shall bear all additional costs associated therewith.

 

4.4 Upon handover, the Tenant shall be handed 120 transponder keys, conventional keys or similar access mechanisms as applicable (hereinafter referred to as “Access Mechanisms”). A list of the Access Mechanisms handed over shall be attached to the acceptance report. If any Access Mechanisms handed over by the Landlord or procured by the Tenant itself which are capable of providing unauthorised access to the Lease Object are lost, the Landlord shall have the right to replace the locks, locking systems, etc. concerned at the cost of the Tenant. Moreover, all Access Mechanisms handed over by the Landlord which are lost shall be replaced by the Tenant.

§ 5

5.1 The Parties hereby agree that the monthly rent and the monthly advance payments on heating and other ancillary costs (each plus VAT at the applicable statutory rate) shall be as follows:

Based on the rates specified above, a pro rata amount of EUR 5,454.40 plus VAT at a rate of 19% (= EUR 1,036.34), totalling EUR 6,490.74 (gross) shall be [sic!] for the abridged month of December 2011, and an amount of EUR 40,218.25 (= EUR 30,272.00 for rent + EUR 9,946.25 for ancillary costs) plus VAT at a rate of 19% (EUR 7,641.47), totalling EUR 47,859.72 (gross) shall be [sic!] for the month of July 2012.

In the event that the Lease Object is handed over to the Tenant before 15 December 2011 and the commencement of the Lease is, as a result of that, moved to a date earlier than 15 December 2011 in accordance with the provision of § 3.1, the time periods specified above shall be shifted accordingly and the amounts payable by the Tenant for the months of December 2011 and July 2012 shall be re-calculated on a pro rata basis as appropriate. In this case, the Parties shall enter into an addendum satisfying the requirement of written form after commencement of the Lease to document the changes resulting from the shift in dates in writing.

 

5.2 The Parties hereby agree that the rent for all Leased spaces including the car parking spaces shall be subject to the following index clause:

If the consumer price index for Germany determined by the German Federal Statistical Office or by a public authority succeeding it with similar duties (base year 2005 = 100) has changed by more than 5 per cent compared with the level in the month of commencement of the Lease or following an adjustment compared with the level of the month of the last previous adjustment, the monthly rent shall increase or decrease by the same proportion from the first day of the month following the change. The rent shall again be automatically adjusted if the conditions specified above occur again based on the point in time when the last rent adjustment was made. A request for adjustment from the Landlord shall not be required for this purpose.

 

Page 8 of 25


Should the consumer price index be switched to a new basis and/or no longer be updated by the German Federal Statistical Office or any public authority succeeding it, the corresponding cost of living index published thereafter shall be applied instead, or any other index ensuring as far as possible in economic terms the same degree of protection from inflationary loss intended by the Parties as the index last applicable for them. If such index is not available, either Party may request the other to reasonably adjust the rent to the economic development that has occurred.

Should it be established with final and non-appealable effect that the index clause set out above is not valid, or should the index agreed upon no longer be available as a reference basis, the Parties shall be under an obligation to agree on a new clause which most approximates the intended purpose.

 

5.3 In addition to the rent, advance payments on ancillary costs, any back payments of ancillary costs which may be payable and any other payment obligations, the Tenant shall pay VAT at the applicable statutory rate.

The Tenant acknowledges that the Landlord has opted for VAT pursuant to Sec. 9 Para. 2 of the German Value-Added Tax Act [Umsatzsteuergesetz – UStG]. The Tenant represents and warrants that it is entitled to full input tax deduction and that it shall use the Lease Object, throughout the term of the Lease, only for the performance of works that allow input-tax deduction. Furthermore, the Tenant shall be under an obligation to make all documents which allow the Landlord to meet its obligation towards the tax authorities to provide evidence in accordance with Sec. 9 Para. 2 UStG available to the Landlord upon request; the Landlord may in this respect demand that the Tenant submit the documents and/or declarations the competent tax office requests from the Landlord.

If the property is used by third parties, the Tenant shall be liable for ensuring that such third parties comply with the unobjectionable type of use according to the foregoing provisions. This shall also apply in the event that the Tenant is not responsible for a breach by a third party. In the event of a sublease, the Tenant shall be under an obligation to opt for VAT with respect to the sublease as well and in all other respects impose the obligations pursuant to the foregoing paragraph on the subtenant by the sublease agreement to the effect that the Landlord can also derive certain rights directly against the subtenant based on the Tenant’s agreement with the subtenant (genuine contract for the benefit of third parties [echter Vertrag zugunsten Dritter]).

Should the Tenant and/or – in the event of subleasing – the subtenant breach the obligations set out above, the Tenant shall fully compensate the Landlord for all damage caused thereby. The Landlord shall in this case have the right to increase the net rent specified above by an amount equal to the additional tax burden arising (from the repayment of input tax amount).

 

5.4

The total rent including the advance payment on ancillary costs shall be paid free of charge, monthly in advance, by the third calendar day of each month, into the bank account of the Landlord, account number 1005370045 with M.M. Warburg Bank & Co KGaA, bank routing code [BLZ]: 20120100, stating “Miete Trivago 030 + 008” [Trivago rent 030 + 008] as the reason for payment. The date on which the money is received in the specified account and not the date on which it is sent shall be decisive in determining whether a payment of rent has been made on time. If the Tenant is in default

 

Page 9 of 25


  of payment of the rent, it shall be liable to pay default interest at the applicable statutory rate. In the event of rent arrears, the Landlord shall have the right, at its option, to apply payments received first towards the costs incurred so far and then towards default interest, then towards the oldest arrears of advance payments on ancillary costs and then towards the oldest arrears of rent.

§ 6

Ancillary costs

 

6.1 In addition to the rent, the Tenant shall also pay all ancillary costs incurring for the Lease property and the Lease Object on a pro rata basis from commencement of the Lease. If a direct contract between the Tenant and a utility provider can be entered into (e.g. for electricity, water, waste collection, etc.), the Tenant undertakes to enter into such a contract it the Landlord requests so in writing.

  n) the costs of commercial and technical estate management to the extent not included in the items specified above. The Tenant acknowledges that the share of these costs it has to bear may be determined, depending on the contractual agreements that are in place with the respective service provider concerned, as a flat percentage of the net rent without charges payable by the Tenant. This percentage is currently 3%.

The Parties agree that the ancillary costs listed above are to be understood in a broader sense as appropriate for commercial use. In addition, the Tenant shall bear all ancillary costs pursuant to the Operating Costs Ordinance [Betriebskostenverordnung – BetrKV] issued by the German federal government as currently amended.

The ancillary cost items specified in the list above shall be apportioned only if and to the extent that the equipment concerned actually exists in the property and/or the services concerned are actually provided/kept available. However, those types of ancillary costs which are independent of consumption shall also be borne by the Tenant on a pro rata basis if the Tenant does not avail itself of the services concerned.

Contributions in kind and any work performed by the Landlord which saves expenses on ancillary costs may be recognised at the amount which could be applied for equivalent work performed by a third party, notably a contractor.

 

Page 12 of 25


6.3 To the extent that, in the context of orderly property management, new types of ancillary costs which are comparable to the ancillary costs referred to in the Lease Agreement incur after this Agreement has been signed (in particular due to changes or expansions of existing technical equipment or the initial provision of certain technical equipment), or any new fees, taxes and levies become payable for the Lease property, the Landlord may apportion these types of costs to the Tenant, too, may also be apportioned by the Landlord if and to the extent that this is not contrary to equitable principles.

 

6.4 The consumption-based costs attributable to the Lease property and/or the Lease Object, to the extent these are measured by metering devices, shall be invoiced based on actual consumption. The Landlord shall be under no obligation to install any additional metering equipment. If the read-out devices have a defect, the Landlord shall have the right to estimate the ancillary costs and apportion them on that basis. For this purpose, the Landlord may refer to the consumption of the previous year or the pro rata area for which ancillary costs are to be charged as a basis. The same shall apply if the Tenant does not give access to the read-out devices for the measurements to be read.

 

6.5 The heating costs attributable to the Lease Object shall be invoiced in accordance with the German Heating Costs Ordinance [Heizkostenverordnung – HeizkV] according to the following allocation key: 30% usable floor area, 70% consumption. The Parties hereby agree that the size of the usable floor area of the Tenant to be applied in invoicing the heating costs shall be 2,725.00 .

If certain types of ancillary costs can be allocated directly to the Tenant according to the costs-by-cause principle, the Tenant shall bear those costs in full. To the extent that the ancillary costs are not paid directly by the Tenant, consumption is not determined or allocation according to the costs-by-cause principle is not possible, the ancillary costs shall be apportioned pursuant to the proportion of the Tenant’s Lease area in the total above-ground floor area of the property or economic unit, respectively. For this purpose, too, the Parties agree that the size of the Lease area of the Tenant is 2,725.00 .

For the square-metre based apportionments of the individual ancillary cost items, the Landlord shall form different economic units at its equitable discretion to take account in particular of the different share of ancillary costs attributable to the Leased spaces in each economic unit and the different degrees to which ancillary costs/operating services are used. As soon as the Landlord has prepared the concept for the ancillary costs invoicing for the building, it shall provide a list of the economic units it formed for the purposes of ancillary costs invoicing and of the square metre sizes of the spaces in each economic unit; the Parties shall then add this list to this Lease Agreement by way of an addendum satisfying the requirement of written form.

The Landlord shall have the right to make changes to the economic units and to the apportionment keys for individual types of costs if, due to objective changes, an apportionment key turns out to be contrary to equitable principles.

 

6.6 The Tenant shall make monthly advance payments on the heating costs and other ancillary costs to be borne by the Tenant. Initially, the amount of those advance payments shall be as specified in § 5.1. The Parties acknowledge that the amounts of the monthly advance payments determined in § 5.1 are based on a rough estimate and the actual costs may differ from them.

The ancillary costs shall be accounted for on an annual basis, for which purpose the accounting period is agreed to be the calendar year. If the Lease ends in the course of an

 

Page 13 of 25


accounting period, no interim statement of costs shall be issued. Any difference amounts arising from the statement (plus VAT payable thereon) shall be due immediately after receipt of the statement and shall be paid together with the following rent payment or reimbursed on the due date of the following rent payment.

If the ancillary costs statement shows a back claim of the Landlord, the Landlord shall have the right to increase the monthly advance payments reasonably. The Landlord shall inform the Tenant of this fact when issuing the ancillary costs statement. If the ancillary costs statement shows a credit balance in favour of the Tenant, the Tenant shall have the right to request that the monthly advance payment be reasonably reduced.

§ 7

Type of use

 

7.1 The Tenant undertakes to treat the Lease Object and the common areas of the building with due care and consideration. It shall ensure that the inside of the Lease Object is duly cleaned, ventilated and heated. Moreover, the Tenant shall report all defects of the Lease Object and the common areas of the building to the Landlord without undue delay after it becomes aware of them. No items, no packaging materials and no other waste may be stored outside the Lease Object.

 

7.2 The Tenant must not exceed the permissible maximum loads of ceilings and raised floors the Landlord specifies to it in writing upon request. The Tenant shall be liable for all damage resulting from a failure to observe these provisions. The Landlord informed the Tenant that the permissible maximum load is 3.2 kN/m². If the Tenant intends to bring heavy items into the Leased spaces which come close to the permissible maximum loads on the ceilings and raised floors (e.g. a safe), it shall furnish static proof to the Landlord before bringing such items into the Leased spaces to demonstrate that the permissible maximum loads are complied with.

 

7.3 The Tenant may use the existing line networks for electricity, gas and water only in such scope and extent that no overload occurs. The Tenant can cover any additional demand by extending the supply lines at its own cost following the Landlord’s prior written consent.

 

7.4 The Tenant shall have remedial actions taken and, if and to the extent required, have utilities shut off immediately and notify the Landlord without undue delay of any problems with or defects of supply and discharge lines.

 

7.5 Any change in the supply of energy for which the Landlord is not responsible, including but not limited to a change in voltage, shall not entitle the Tenant to assert any compensation claims against the Landlord.

 

7.6 Unacceptable nuisance by noise and odour and any other emissions which are hazardous to the environment and human health must not be caused, neither by arriving and departing traffic nor by installing or running machines or equipment nor by any other factors. The problems giving rise to any complaints in this regard shall, at the request of the Landlord, be remedied by the Tenant at its own cost. If and to the extent that any measures of the public order office are imposed on the Landlord because of any such nuisance, the Tenant shall implement them within the specified deadlines to fully indemnify the Landlord.

 

7.7 The Landlord shall have the right to issue a set of house rules and/or underground parking rules at its equitable discretion which shall govern the use of the overall building and shall apply in addition to the foregoing provisions. If the Landlord exercises this right or amends any existing set of house rules or underground parking rules, it shall notify the Tenant and provide it with a copy. Upon provision of the house rules and/or underground parking rules, the provisions of those rules shall become binding on the Tenant. If the house rules and/or underground parking rules include provisions which conflict with those of the present Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.

 

Page 14 of 25


7.8 The Tenant shall separate its commercial waste for recycling and, at the request of the Landlord, shall dispose of it separately at its own cost. All statutory and authority requirements and specifications by the Landlord concerning the prevention, separation and disposal of waste must be complied with by the Tenant.

§ 8

Liability

 

8.1 The Tenant shall be liable to the Landlord for all damage to the Lease Object, to the systems and installations pertaining to it and to the entire B1 building complex including the open areas of the Lease property for which the Tenant, members of its staff, customers, participants in events, business partners, persons instructed by the Tenant (contractors, suppliers, etc.), subtenants and/or other vicarious agents [Erfüllungs – und Verrichtungsgehilfen] – and any third parties to whom the Tenant or its contract partners grant access – are responsible.

The Tenant shall repair all damage for which it is liable within a reasonable period of time. Should the Tenant still fail to fulfil this obligation within a reasonable grace period to be set by the Landlord in writing, the Landlord may have the required works performed at the Tenant’s cost. In the event of imminent danger, no written warning needs to be issued and no grace period needs to be set.

 

8.2 Strict liability of the Landlord under warranty for initial quality defects of the Lease Object shall be excluded.

 

8.3 The Landlord shall be liable – on whatever legal ground – for damage arising from injury to life, limb or health and for damage arising from breach of a material cardinal obligation if the Landlord or its vicarious agents [Erfüllungsgehilfen] are responsible for such damage, irrespective of the degree to which they are at fault. A contractual obligation is material if its very discharge is a prerequisite for the performance of the contract or if the Tenant can, as a rule, rely on it being fulfilled. The Landlord shall be liable for any other damage only in the event of intentional and grossly negligent breach, for which purpose an intentional and grossly negligent breach on the part of a legal representative or vicarious agent [Erfüllungsgehilfe] of the Landlord shall be imputed on the Landlord.

 

8.4 The Landlord shall not be liable for direct and consequential damage to property of the Tenant, its employees, contract partners and suppliers which is caused by fire, smoke, flood, theft and theft by housebreaking or is otherwise caused by third parties. The Tenant shall take out insurance against these risks at its own cost.

 

8.5 If the Lease Object is destroyed or damaged completely or in part, the Landlord shall be under no obligation to rebuild it. It shall have the right to terminate the Lease effective as of the date on which the Lease Object was destroyed/damaged, regardless of whether or not the Lease Object will be rebuilt/restored at a later point in time.

§ 9

Insurance

 

9.1

The Landlord shall take out and/or maintain sufficient insurance at replacement value for the buildings pertaining to the Lease Object against the risks of damage caused by fire, storm, water and glass breakage, and sufficient property and building owner’s liability

 

Page 15 of 25


  insurance as well as glass breakage insurance for the windows and glass facade elements of the building. The costs associated with this shall be apportioned as part of the ancillary costs pursuant to § 6.2. The Landlord shall have the right, but no obligation, to take out further insurance cover for the Lease property or the buildings pertaining to the Lease Object (e.g. insurance against loss of rent, insurance against dry rot fungus (merulius lacrymans) and house longhorn beetles (hylotrupes baiulus), terrorism insurance, extended coverage insurance) and to apportion the costs of this as part of the ancillary costs, too.

 

9.2 The Tenant, for its part, undertakes to take out and maintain business liability insurance against personal injury and damage to property for the duration of the Lease, as well as content insurance and insurance cover against damage caused by theft, fire, storm, water, hail and lightning, each of which must provide sufficient cover, for the inventory contributed by the Tenant and included in the Lease, and to prove upon request that insurance has been take out, and premiums have been paid, by the Landlord.

§ 10

Rental security

 

10.1 As security for all claims of the Landlord against the Tenant under this Lease, the Tenant shall furnish rental security to the Landlord in an amount equal to three times the net monthly rent incl. heating costs, i.e. EUR 205,794.75. This rental deposit shall be due and payable before handover of the Leased spaces. If the gross monthly rent increases in the course of the Lease, the Landlord may request that the amount of the rental security be increased accordingly.

The rental security may be furnished in the form of a cash deposit or by submission of an unlimited absolute guarantee of a German major bank, cooperative bank or public savings bank [Sparkasse] under which the guarantor undertakes to pay on first demand and to waive the defences of voidability, set-off and unexhausted remedies and the right to deposit the guaranteed amount, provided that the waiver of the defence of set-off shall not apply to cases in which the beneficiary can satisfy its claims by setting off its claims against counterclaims which are undisputed or have been established res judicata.

 

10.2 The Landlord may also during the term of the Lease resort to the rental security to satisfy its claims, including if such claims are disputed. If the Landlord draws on the security furnished in the form of a cash deposit, or if the guarantor bank makes payment, or if the rental security has to be increased in accordance with the provisions of § 10.1, the Tenant shall be under an obligation to furnish a new cash deposit to the Landlord within one month, in an amount equal to the amount drawn on or the amount by which the security has to be increased, respectively, or to furnish a new unconditional, unlimited and absolute bank guarantee under which the guarantor again undertakes to pay on first demand and to waive the defences of voidability, set-off and unexhausted remedies and the right to deposit the guaranteed amount, provided that the waiver of the defence of set-off shall not apply to cases in which the beneficiary can satisfy its claims by setting off its claims against counterclaims which are undisputed or have been established res judicata.

§ 11

Preventive and corrective maintenance, basic repairs

 

11.1 The Landlord shall be responsible for performing the preventive and corrective maintenance of the building structure including foundation [Dach und Fach] at its own cost. For the purposes of this Agreement, the “roof” [Dach] is the roof structure with all covering and plumbing works pertaining thereto (gutters), excluding canopy roofs. The “framework structure” [Fach] within the meaning of this Agreement includes the load-bearing structure of the building (all foundations, load-bearing walls, supports, pillars and floor slabs) and, moreover, all necessary stairs (without covering), the facade including facade covering, the chimney and all general supply and discharge lines located in walls and ceilings and serving two or more building parts, up to their exit from the wall or ceiling. Openable windows and doors enclosing the rental areas and the fittings pertaining thereto shall expressly not fall within the definition of building structure including foundation [Dach und Fach].

 

11.2 All ongoing preventive and corrective maintenance inside the rental areas leased for exclusive use, including all servicing and preventive and corrective maintenance of the (technical) facilities and installations shall be undertaken or arranged by the Tenant at its own cost. This shall also apply in particular to the servicing and preventive and corrective maintenance of heating radiators and thermostats/valves, sanitary installations, kitchen equipment and furnishings, water heating units including their supply and discharge lines, other electrical equipment, lighting units (including the replacement of lamps), fittings, internal sun protection systems, cooling and ventilation units, post boxes and locks. These obligations of the Tenant have been taken into account in determining the amount of rent. To the extent that preventive or corrective maintenance concerns damage that cannot be attributed to the Tenant’s use of the Lease Object or to its sphere of risk, the costs of such preventive and corrective maintenance within a year of the Lease shall be borne by the Tenant only up to an amount equal to 8 % of the net annual rent without charges; however, this cost limit shall not apply to the servicing to be undertaken by the Tenant.

 

11.3 The Tenant undertakes to maintain the Lease Object in a good and usable condition and to have all basic repairs [Schönheitsreparaturen] which are required for this purpose carried out in a professional manner at reasonable intervals during the term of the Lease, and depending on the degree of wear and tear, at its own cost. Such basic repairs [Schönheitsreparaturen] shall include, without limitation, the painting and wallpapering of paintable walls and ceilings, cleaning of the individual elements of partition wall systems, inside painting of windows (excluding the aluminium cladding), painting of internal doors and of the inside of doors at the boundaries of the rental areas, heating radiators, supply and discharge pipes (each as far as paintable) and any other painting inside the premises, including of built-in furniture, and the cleaning and/or professional treatment and reworking of floor coverings. If required in view of the degree [of the necessary works], the renewal of floor coverings shall also be deemed to be included in the basic repairs.

 

11.4 The preventive and corrective maintenance, servicing and procurement of replacements for the operating equipment, technical equipment and other furnishings contributed by the Tenant shall also be the responsibility of the Tenant at its own cost.

§ 12

Structural alterations by the Landlord

 

12.1 Structural alterations which are required or useful to maintain and/or modernise the Lease property and/or the Lease Object must be tolerated by the Tenant.

 

12.2 If structural alterations affect the spaces the Tenant leases for exclusive use, the Landlord shall duly observe the legitimate interests of the Tenant and may therefore carry out such works only in coordination with the Tenant. In doing this, the Landlord shall take care to keep adverse effects on the business operations of the Tenant to a minimum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Tenant shall be under an obligation to give the Landlord the opportunity to carry out the works, and the Tenant may not request any precautions to be taken which increase the costs of such works significantly. In particular, the Tenant shall be under an obligation to allow the Landlord to carry out the works at daytime during its business hours. If the Tenant requires that those works be carried out at different times, in particular at night or on Saturdays, Sundays or public holidays, it shall bear all additional costs associated therewith.

 

12.3 To the extent that the Tenant has to tolerate these works, it may neither reduce the rent nor assert any retention right nor claim damages because of the impairments caused by the works. However, the Tenant shall have the right to reduce the rent if the use of the Lease Object is materially impaired by the works.

§ 13

Structural alterations by the Tenant

 

13.1 The Tenant shall have the right to make structural alterations only with the prior consent of the Landlord which may be withheld only for good cause. The Landlord shall be deemed to have good cause to deny its consent in particular if the statics of the building, the technical equipment of the building or the fire safety and other safety and security equipment of the building (e.g. the sprinkler and ventilation systems) are affected by the alterations, or if they would result in changes to the fire safety concept, or if they require a permit/authorisation under building regulations. The Landlord may make its consent conditional on additional collateral being furnished by the Tenant in order to secure the Tenant’s dismantling obligation.

 

13.2 If the Tenant carries out any structural alterations, it shall be under an obligation to submit all architectural and engineering planning documents prepared and all other work performed in this context, the shop drawings of the contractors prepared for execution and the contract specifications (without prices) for the work contracted to the contractor and – after completion of the works – as-built plans of the building parts or facilities and installations to which the alterations relate to the Landlord (the plans shall be submitted on paper, in triplicate, and in digital format on a data carrier, as DXF files, on a CD-ROM, in duplicate), and shall transfer all rights of use and exploitation rights in those plans to the Landlord.

 

13.3 With respect to structural alterations, the Tenant shall comply with all applicable statutory provisions and shall, at its own risk and expense, obtain all authorisations or permits/approvals from the authorities which may be required. Before carrying out the works, the Tenant shall demonstrate to the Landlord that it has obtained such official authorisations and permits/approvals by submitting copies of them to the Landlord. The Tenant shall be liable for all damage caused in connection with structural alterations made by the Tenant.

§ 14

Landlord’s access to the Leased premises

 

14.1 The Landlord or an agent authorised by it shall have the right, subject to prior notification and appointment, to enter the Lease Object during normal business hours, in compliance with the safety regulations of the Tenant, to apprise themselves of the condition of the Lease Object. In cases of danger, access to the Lease Object shall be permitted at any time day or night. Except in cases of imminent danger, the Tenant shall be notified of this in advance.

 

14.2 If the Lease has been terminated or the Landlord intends to sell or otherwise transfer the building, the Tenant shall allow the Lease Object to be inspected during business hours, subject to prior notification of the time and date for the inspection on reasonable advance notice and in compliance with the safety regulations of the Tenant. Moreover, the Landlord shall have the right to put up signs etc. at suitable locations on the Lease property or on the facade pertaining to the Lease Object to inform the public that the Lease Object is available to let or that the building is to be sold or otherwise transferred.

§ 15

Company signs, advertising

 

15.1 The Landlord shall provide a wayfinding system for all tenants of the B1 building complex to guide visitors to their intended destination, as part of which the name of the Tenant shall be displayed on the tenant board in front of the entrance of the building, on the existing tenant board inside the entrance to the building, on the existing labelling in the lift and in front of the entrance to the Leased spaces. The Tenant shall be under an obligation to use only those signs and labels and shall make all templates etc. which are required for this purpose available to the Landlord. If the wayfinding system is changed during the term of this Agreement, the Tenant shall be under an obligation to cooperate with the necessary changes. If additional advertising spaces/directional signs are to be installed, this shall be subject to the overall concept and the decision of the Landlord.

The Landlord shall arrange for all necessary measures to be taken to install, modify and maintain the wayfinding system. All costs incurring for this to the Landlord shall be reimbursed by the Tenant. When the Lease terminates, the Landlord shall remove all signs and advertising structures provided for the Tenant and restore the signage and the advertising space to their original condition. All costs incurring for this shall also be reimbursed to the Landlord by the Tenant.

 

15.2 Apart from the cases agreed in § 15.1, the Tenant shall not be permitted to install or modify any facilities for advertising or promotional purposes (e.g. company signs, showcases, vending machines, etc.) outside the spaces leased for exclusive use and/or the Leased spaces without the prior consent of the Landlord. In particular, the Tenant shall not be permitted to install advertising and/or directional signs on the external facade of the building including the windows.

If the Landlord permits the Tenant to install additional advertising/directional signs on/at or inside the property, the Tenant shall be liable for all damage caused by improper fastening. If such signs have to be removed to be able to carry out certain works on the property, the costs of removing and reinstalling them shall be borne by the Tenant.

 

Page 19 of 25


15.3 If permits/approvals or consents of any kind are required for advertising/directional signs, the Tenant shall obtain them at its own cost and shall demonstrate to the Landlord in writing that it has received them before commencement of the works. Upon termination of the Lease, the Tenant shall, at its own cost, remove all advertising/directional signs it installed on its own responsibility and shall and restore the original condition. Any manner of execution [of the works] required to restore the original condition must be agreed with the Landlord in advance and requires the approval of the latter.

§ 16

Subleasing

 

16.1 The Tenant shall be permitted to sublease or otherwise transfer the use of the Lease Object or any part of it to third parties only with the prior consent of the Landlord, which may only be denied for good cause. A condition for the consent of the Landlord to be granted is in any event that the subtenant generates only VATable turnover which does not exclude the deduction of input tax, and that the sublease agreement complies with the provisions of § 5.3 of the present Lease Agreement.

 

16.2 If the Lease Object is subleased, or its use is transferred to third parties, without authorisation, the Landlord may require the Tenant to terminate the sublease or other contract, and to regain possession of the spaces surrendered to a third party, without undue delay, at the latest, however, within one month. If this is not done, the Landlord may terminate the principal lease without having to observe a notice period.

 

16.3 The Landlord shall have the right to make its consent to subleasing conditional on a sublease surcharge being agreed. Such a surcharge may be charged only if a profit is generated thereby and shall in this event be limited to the total amount of such profit. All payments or non-cash remuneration promised or made by the subtenant for the surrender of use by way of subleasing shall be taken into account in calculating the amount of the subrent.

 

16.4 The Tenant shall be liable for all acts and omissions of the subtenant or the party to whom it surrendered the use of the Leased premises in the same manner as for its own acts.

 

16.5 In the event of subleasing or other surrender of use to third parties, the Tenant assigns all claims it is entitled to against the subtenant or the third party, including all rights of pledge, to the Landlord already now and hereby. Until further notice to the contrary is given by the Landlord, the Tenant shall nevertheless remain entitled to assert and enforce the claims assigned in its own name. The Landlord shall have the right to disclose the assignment if and when the Tenant is in default with the performance of its payment or other obligations for longer than two weeks. The assignment is made in lieu of performance [erfüllungshalber]. The Landlord shall, at its option, be under an obligation to re-assign the claims and rights of pledge assigned as collateral back to the Tenant if the aggregate of the nominal values of the claims and rights of pledge assigns exceeds 120% of the aggregate of the secured claims and this is the case not only for a short period of time.

 

Page 20 of 25


§ 17

Set-off, retention rights and reduction of rent

The Tenant shall not have the right to set off any claims of the Landlord under this Agreement against counterclaims or to assert a right of retention or a reduction of rent [on the ground of defects], unless such counterclaim or right of retention or right to reduce the rent [ont he ground of defects] is undisputed or has been established res judicata on the merits and as to the amount. The Tenant’s right of action to assert counterclaims and claims to rent reduction [on the ground of defects] shall not be affected thereby.

§ 18

Legal duty to maintain safety

 

18.1 The Tenant shall have a legal duty to maintain safety [Verkehrssicherungspflicht] of the Leased spaces. With respect to the rental areas it leases for exclusive use, this duty shall be incumbent on the Tenant alone, and with respect to any rental areas it leases for shared use – other than the spaces for common use – this duty shall be incumbent on the Tenant together with the other occupants. In this context, the Tenant shall be under an obligation to indemnify the Landlord against all claims of third parties which are asserted against the Landlord for its failure to comply with the legal duty to maintain safety.

 

18.2 Apart from that, the legal duty to maintain safety shall be incumbent on the Landlord, in particular with respect to those spaces of the building which are for common use, the outdoor areas of the Lease property and the underground parking garage. All costs associated with the Landlord’s fulfilment of the legal duty to maintain safety shall be apportioned as part of the ancillary costs.

§ 19

Return of the Lease Object

 

19.1 At the end of the Lease term, the Tenant shall be under an obligation to return the Lease Object in a cleaned condition, free of defects and with all preventive and corrective maintenance agreed by contract duly carried out. Moreover, the Tenant shall return all Access Mechanisms to the Landlord when this Lease ends.

 

19.2 Before returning the Leased spaces, the Tenant shall carry out such renovation works and basic repairs [Schönheitsreparaturen] as are required to restore the condition that existed upon handover. The obligation of the Tenant to carry out such basic repairs/renovation works shall not apply if they are not necessary (yet) in view of the degree of wear and tear.

If such basic repairs/renovation works are not necessary in view of the degree of wear and tear that has occurred by the time when this Lease terminates, the Tenant shall reimburse the costs of such works to the Landlord pro rata, based on the degree of wear and tear that has occurred. The pro rata share of these costs which is to be borne by the Tenant shall depend on when such basic repairs/renovation works were carried out for the last time and when, based on the degree of wear and tear that has occurred, they would normally have to be carried out the next time. If no basic repairs have been carried out since the commencement of the Lease, the commencement of the Lease (and not the point in time when the last basic repairs/renovation works were carried out) shall be referred to in calculating the share of costs to be borne by the Tenant. A cost estimate to be obtained by the Landlord from a professional painting and decorating contractor shall

 

Page 21 of 25


be referred to as a basis for this calculation. However, the Tenant reserves the right to prove that the renovation works can be carried out in a professional manner at a more favourable price. If the Parties do not reach agreement on the amount of the costs and on the share to be borne by the Tenant, the amount of the costs and the share of these costs to be reimbursed by the Tenant shall be determined, at the request of one of the Parties, by a sworn independent expert to be named by the Chamber of Industry and Commerce [Handelskammer]. The decision of the expert shall be binding on both Parties to this Lease Agreement, unless it is manifestly incorrect or guided by manifestly extraneous considerations. Each Party shall be authorised to instruct the expert also on behalf of the other Party. The Parties shall each pay half of any advances which may be payable. The final costs shall be borne by the Parties in analogous application of the provisions of Secs. 91 et seq. of the German Code of Civil Procedure [Zivilprozessordnung – ZPO].

If the Tenant carries out the basic repairs/renovation works which have not yet become due itself, or has them carried out, completely and in a professional manner before the Lease terminates, it shall be released from the obligation to bear the costs specified above. The Tenant shall inform the Landlord in due time before it moves out of whether it wishes to avail itself of this right.

 

19.3 Any alterations to the Lease Object and/or fixtures and alterations of the Lease Object carried out by the Tenant and any changes the Tenant made to the decoration and/or design and to the furnishing and equipment of the Lease Object shall be deconstructed or reversed, respectively, by the Tenant at its own cost to restore the previous condition by the Lease terminates, unless the Landlord does not wish them to be deconstructed or reversed in exceptional cases. In particular, all (computer, telephone, etc.) cables the Tenant installed and any other installations contributed by the Tenant shall be removed. The Tenant shall commence the necessary works in sufficient advance so as to complete them by the time the Lease ends. If the Landlord does not wish the previous condition to be restored, no compensation shall be payable by the Landlord for any increase in value.

 

19.4 Instead of carrying out the necessary basic repairs, remedial and restoration works and preventive maintenance, the Landlord may request that the Tenant pay to the Landlord such amount as is required to have those works carried out (including site management, if necessary, and subsequent cleaning of the building). This request must be made in writing and must be received by the Tenant at the latest 4 months before the end of the Lease term. If the Landlord makes this request, the Tenant may return the Lease Object “as is” [wie es steht und liegt] on the last day of the Lease term, subject to the provisions of § 19.5.

In the event that there is a dispute over the scope of works in respect of which redemption is to be paid, or over the amount of the redemption payment to be made by the Tenant, the scope of works in respect of which redemption is to be paid and/or the amount of the redemption payment to be made by the Tenant shall be determined by a sworn independent expert to be named by the Chamber of Small Industries and Skilled Trades [Handwerkskammer]. The decision of the expert shall be binding on both Parties to this Lease Agreement, unless it is manifestly incorrect or guided by manifestly extraneous considerations. Each Party shall be authorised to instruct the expert also on behalf of the other Party. The Parties shall each pay half of any advances which may be payable. The final costs shall be borne by the Parties in analogous application of the provisions of Secs. 91 et seq. ZPO.

 

Page 22 of 25


19.5 Any furnishings or equipment the Tenant provided the Leased premises with shall be removed by the Tenant. However, the Landlord can request that such furnishings or equipment be left behind in the premises when the Lease ends, provided that the Landlord undertakes to pay an amount to the Tenant which – taking into account technical wear and tear and economic ageing – corresponds to their present value, unless the Tenant has an interest in removing those items. The Parties shall state their point of view on this in sufficient advance so as to enable agreements to be made to this effect in due time before the property is vacated. In the event that there is a dispute over their present value, their present value shall be determined by a sworn independent expert to be named by the Chamber of Small Industries and Skilled Trades. The decision of the expert shall again be binding on both Parties to this Lease Agreement, unless it is manifestly incorrect or guided by manifestly extraneous considerations.

General description

   The building was designed by HPP architects as an office and administration building with underground parking garage in the early 1970s. Its present owner, Warburg-Henderson Kapitalgesellschaft für Immobilien GmbH (via HIH Hamburgische Immobilien Handlung GmbH), is currently undertaking a comprehensive refurbishment of the building and its exteriors within the boundaries of the property.
  

Design of the building structure

 

The structural elements of the existing building are preserved without change. This applies in particular to the supporting structure and the braced core. The access to the building will continue to be from Bennigsen-Platz but will be relocated approx. 6 m westwards. The entrance ramp in front of the building, which bridges a level difference between the forecourt and the ground floor of approx. 1.40 m, provides access, through the new draught lobby, to the entrance hall, from where the central service core of the building with lifts and staircases can be reached. The lift lobbies provide access to the office spaces on all upper floors and on the ground floor. Each office floor is divided into 2 fire compartments with direct access to an emergency escape route. This allows each office floor to be divided into two possible rental areas of equal size. Moreover, each rental area can be divided into two usable areas. This allows the creation of what is known as 400 m² units without having to provide the necessary office corridors. The location of the walls in fire-safe quality which divide the rental areas and usable areas is mandatory and must not be changed. Connecting doors are allowed to be installed in those walls. The doors shall be executed so as to be normally open and close automatically only in case of a fire.

   Unlike all other above-ground floors, the 11th floor is to be provided with a terrace measuring approx. 44 m² along the western facade of the building. The facade structure will be continued in the area of the terrace so as to provide an area open to the sky which is protected from wind by the facade. The terrace is accessible from the adjoining circulation areas through doors; glazing provides visual contact between the office space and the terrace. An outdoor socket will be installed to supply electricity to the terrace. New roof structures shall be added above the 11th floor to accommodate the most important building services equipment. The equipment areas are recessed from the facade of the building around its circumference; the flat roofs will be provided with extensive greenery, considering, however, the necessary movement areas and manoeuvring room for the facade access system. Except for the four gable walls, the spaces in the 1st basement are lit by daylight through the facade and light wells arranged on the outside. Therefore, these spaces can be used both as office spaces and as archive spaces. Special types of use, e.g. as a gym and/or lounge, have to be applied for separately in coordination with the permit authorities. Due to the topography of the site, the southern facade of the 1st basement is accessible through an existing delivery yard, which shall be preserved. The existing facade and fit-out grid of 1.875 m will be kept unchanged. The structural supports of the building are centred in cells of this fit-out grid.

Design of the height of the building

 

Floors one to nine have floor-to-floor height of approx. 3.73 m; the 10th floor was executed with a floor-to-floor height of over 4.50 m. In preparation for the planned addition of a new floor, the 10th floor will be dismantled and two new floors (10th and 11th floor) with a normal floor-to-floor height of approx. 3.73 m will be newly built. The floor-to-floor height available on the ground floor is approx. 4.50 m. Like the upper floors, the 1st basement was built with a floor-to-floor height of approx. 3.73 m. On the upper floors, there is a clear room height of approx. 2.80 m available in the office spaces.

 

Design of the façade

 

The existing facade structure including the solid parapet elements will be completely dismantled. A new modular metal-glass facade in white colour will be installed. It will follow the general 1.875 m fit-out grid structure. In every second facade axis, the facade element will be vertically divided. The smaller element will be executed as an openable side-hung window. The facade window element next to it and the following facade module are designed as window glazing. The height of the window elements is approx. 2.30 m. The parapet elements are provided with modular aluminium cladding. The openable windows of two floors, respectively, will be covered with white PTFE screens of equal width which are hung slightly in front of the facade. Shading is provided by exterior venetian blinds (rail-guided).

  In the parapet area, decentralised ventilation units are to be provided in every second fit-out axis. The interior parapets will be fully cladded, including in the axes where no ventilation units are provided. The parapet shall be executed with a construction height of approx. 50 cm and a construction depth of approx. 46 cm.

Design of the underground parking garage

 

The underground parking garage is in the 2nd basement; it is accessible to passenger cars via the separate entrance and exit ramps on the western side of the building and to pedestrians via the central service core of the building with a total of 5 lifts and two necessary interior stairwells. Access from the underground parking garage to the lifts and emergency staircases is via 4 locks which are arranged in the middle of each of the four sides of the core. The main change in the underground parking garage is that the existing double parking systems and the formerly elevated feeder lane are to be dismantled and that, as a result of that, a new intermediate level is to be installed. While the annular arrangement of the horizontal access ways and the location of the parking spaces is to be preserved, all parking spaces are now accessible directly on the respective level where they are located. The four accesses to the lift and staircase core are preserved; the resulting height offsets are bridged by one connecting staircase per access. The four connecting stairs are enclosed by walls and doors and are therefore defined as locks.

      To provide access to the new parking levels, separate entrance and exit ramps have to be newly built in the existing layout of the ramp structure. The entrance and exit ramps, respectively, connect to the upper parking deck and the lower parking deck successively. An internal vehicle connection between the two parking levels is not planned to be provided and cannot be provided. The number of car parking spaces that will be available in the future on the two underground parking levels will be 216 parking spaces.
     

Outdoor areas

 

The area between the main entrance and Bennigsen-Platz will be re-designed in coordination with the municipality of Düsseldorf and the neighbour. The existing green link east and west of Kennedydamm will be expanded, i.e. the green area of Bennigsen-Platz will be integrated into the green link so as to create the impression of an open parkland area. An impressive, spacious, open forecourt will be created that invites people to linger. The existing planting will be removed, and the forecourt will be laid with large slabs. Partly lit hugel beds with trees and outdoor lighting by lighting columns are integral parts of the design.

Rider No. 1

to the commercial lease agreement dated 07/09//15/09/2011

regarding the office and ancillary areas of the building

“B1”

Benningsenplatz 1 in 40474 Düsseldorf

between

Warburg-Henderson Kapitalanlagegesellschaft für lmmobilien mbH, Kehrwieder 8, 20457 Hamburg

Sales tax no. 27/144/00307

VAT identification number: DE 215 858 737

- hereinafter referred to as “Lessor”-

and

trivago GmbH, Benningsenplatz 1 in 40474 Düsseldorf

Lessee/lease number: 0303 + 008

- hereinafter referred to as “Lessee”-

Preamble

With the commercial lease agreement of 07/09//15/09/2011 the Lessee has let from the Lessor the areas on the10th and 11th floors of the property “BI”- postal address: Benningsenplatz 1, 40474 Düsseldorf - as well as 25 parking spaces in the property’s underground garage and 2 external parking spaces described in further detail in the agreement. The Lessee has requested the Lessor to lease additional areas in the property.

Now, therefore, the parties amend the lease agreement dated 07/09//15/09/2011 as the result of their prior negotiations as follows:

Section 1

Leased property

 

1.1 The Lessor leases to the Lessee, with effect from 01/09/2012, the following additional areas of the property at Benningsenplatz 1, 40474 Düsseldorf, hereinafter also referred to as “Additional Leased Areas of this Rider” :


The office and ancillary areas located on the 6th floor and outlined in red in the attached layout plan (Appendix 6) for exclusive use (leased areas A1 and A2) as well as a portion of the general use and circulation areas having a size of approx. 770.00 m2.

The Lessee shall be given a total of 50 additional access rights on handover of the Additional Leased Areas of this Rider.

 

1.2 In amendment of section 1.1 of the lease agreement dated 07/09//15/09/2011, the following areas of the leased property at Benningsenplatz 1 in 40474 Düsseldorf thus become part of the leased premises as from 01/09/2012:

 

  a) The office and ancillary areas on the 11th floor and outlined in red in the attached layout plan (Appendix 2a) for exclusive use as well as a portion of the general use and circulation areas having a size of approx. 1,543.00 m2.

 

  b) The office and ancillary areas on the 10th floor and outlined in red in the attached layout plan (Appendix 2b) for exclusive use as well as a portion of the general use and circulation areas having a size of approx. 1,182.00 m2.

 

  c) The office and ancillary spaces located on the 6th floor and outlined in red in the attached layout plan (Appendix 6) for exclusive use (leased areas A1 and A2) as well as a portion of the general use and circulation areas having a size of approx. 770.00 m2.

 

  d) The parking spaces on the 2nd and 3rd basement floor and outlined in red in the attached layout plan being 25 parking spaces having nos. 14 to 1 and 31 to 39 on the 2nd basement floor, nos. 14 to 17 and 32 to 39 on the 3rd basement floor and 2 external parking spaces outlined in red in the attached layout plan having nos. 9 and 10 for exclusive use.

The exclusively leased areas and parking spaces are hereinafter also jointly referred to as “Leased Premises”. The roof and façade of the building as well as the wall surfaces outside of the leased premises are not included in the lease.

The Lessor is furthermore entitled to change the location of the parking spaces at its own discretion (section 315 BGB).

 

1.3 The floor areas specified in sections 1.1 and 1.2 were calculated based on the “Guideline for calculating the leased areas of commercial premises” (MF-G), November 2004 edition published by “Gesellschaft für Immobilienwirtschaftliche Forschung” (gif). They also include the general use and circulation areas (foyer, hallways, stairwells) as well as the functional areas (elevator, shafts, etc.) of the building that are attributable to the exclusive leased areas. In all other respects, the provisions in section 1.2 of the lease agreement dated 07/09//15/09/2011 shall apply to the determination of the floor areas.

Section 2

Condition and facilities of the additional leased areas

 

2.1 The location and layout of the exclusively leased Additional Leased Areas of this Rider can be found in the layout plan attached as Appendix 6. Should any changes to the location of the partitions or doors arise in the context of the extension work or as a result of implementing special tenant requests, the parties shall conclude a rider to the lease agreement after handing over the Additional Leased Areas of this Rider, the purpose of which shall be to add the updated layout plan to the agreement.


2.2 The Lessor shall develop the Additional Leased Areas of this Rider until handover in accordance with the determinations in section 2 of the lease agreement dated 07/09//15/09/2011. The standard facilities of the exclusively leased Additional Leased Areas of this Rider and the generally accessible communal areas of the building are, in turn, found in the general Building, Quality and Fittings Specifications.

If and insofar as a joint sampling must still be carried out in the context of the extension work, this must be completed no later than by 01/06/2012. If this date is not complied with and the Lessee at fault in this respect, the Lessor shall be unable to guarantee that the renovation/fitting-out work can be completed on time by 01/09/2012. In this case, any delays in the handover of the Additional Leased Areas of this Rider shall be at the expense of the Lessee; the Lessor shall not assume any responsibility.

 

2.3 The Lessee has the right to request additional or changed construction services “Special Lessee Requests” from the Lessor no later than by 01/06/2012 if and insofar as the additional costs do not exceed more than EUR 20,000.00 (“Additional Costs Budget”). If the Lessee does not make any Special Lessee Requests or if the additional costs for the Special Lessee Requests fall below the Additional Costs Budget, the Lessor shall credit the Lessee with the unused remaining amount of the Additional Costs Budget as a one-off net reduction in rent. The Lessor shall submit to the Lessee the schedule of costs for the additional costs within three weeks after submission of all final accounts for the execution of the Special Lessee Requests. The Lessee may deduct the reduction in rent from the next payment of rent after having received a relevant credit note from the Lessor.

The Lessor is entitled to refuse to implement Special Lessee Requests if and insofar as they affect the statics, the technical building services or the fire protection and security interests of the building, restrict the ability of the property as a whole to be granted permits or for extensions in the individual case, or if they deviate negatively from the building specifications so that they result in a reduction of the leased area, result in a delay in the completion of the leased premises or restrict the possibilities of the leased premises to be used for another purpose. If Special Lessee Requests are executed, the parties shall, after completion thereof, conclude a rider to this lease agreement in which the changes to the facilities of the leased premises arising from the implementation of the Special Lessee Requests are set out in writing.

 

2.4 A handover record, signed by both parties to the lease, shall be prepared on handover of the Additional Leased Areas of this Rider to the Lessee, which shall record the findings and declarations of the contractual parties. If the findings or declarations are unilateral and/or disputed, this must be marked accordingly. For this reason, the inclusion of such declarations in the handover record may not be refused. If the Lessee does not agree with the contents of the record, this must be expressed in the record by means of corresponding written declarations providing reasons. The validity of the handover shall not be affected thereby. Each contractual party shall receive a copy of the record.

 

2.5 If and insofar as no agreements to the contrary are made above, the regulations contained in section 1, section 2 and section 4 of the lease agreement dated 07/09//15/09/2011 shall continue to apply without limitation to the condition, facilities, handover and use of the Additional Leased Areas of this Rider.


Section 3

Lease period

 

3.1 The Additional Leased Areas of this Rider shall become additional leased premises with effect from 01/09/2012.

 

3.2 The lease agreement continues to be concluded for a fixed period and shall end on 31/12/2017 uniformly for all leased areas. No party may ordinarily terminate the lease agreement within this period.

 

3.3 The regulations of section 3.2 to section 3.6 of the lease agreement dated 07/09//15/09/2011 shall continue to apply without restriction. Giving partial notice for the lease agreement in respect of the Additional Leased Areas of this Rider is generally not permitted.

Section 4

4.1 As a result of extending the leased premises by the Additional Leased Areas of this Rider, the monthly rents payable by the Lessee for the leased property and the advance payments for heating and ancillary costs plus value added tax in the statutory amount shall be as follows:

4.2 In addition to the rent, the heating and ancillary costs advance payments, subsequent payments on ancillary costs and other payment obligations, the Lessee shall continue to pay value added tax in the respective statutory amount. In this regard, reference is made to the regulation in section 5.3 of the lease agreement dated 07/09//15/09/2011.

 

4.3 As from 01/09/2012, the Lessee shall bear all the heating and ancillary costs for the Additional Leased Areas of this Rider pursuant to section 6 of the lease agreement dated 07/09//15/09/2011. As from 01/09/2012, the Lessee shall pay the monthly advance payments, newly determined in section 4.1, plus value added tax in the statutory amount.

With respect to the leasing of the Additional Leased Areas of this Rider, the parties agree that the size of the Lessee’s usable area to be used for the heating costs reconciliation as well as the Lessee’s leased area to be used for the ancillary costs reconciliation shall be a total of 3,495.00 m2 as from 01/09/2012.

 

4.4 In all other respects, the regulations of sections 5 and 6 of the lease agreement dated 07/09//15/09/2011 shall continued to apply with respect to the rent and ancillary costs. The rent adjusted with this rider as from 01/09/2012 due to the extension of the leased premises continues to be subject to the indexation in accordance with the provisions of section 5.2 of the lease agreement dated 07/09//15/09/2011 with the index change compared to the month of the original commencement of lease to be applied to the determination of the first adjustment of the rent for all the areas.

Alternatively, the Lessee may, within this period, also provide the Lessor with an absolute surety unlimited in time issued by a major German bank, co-operative bank or savings bank under public law in the amount of the Amount of Increase that secures all the claims the Lessor may have against the Lessee arising from the lease agreement including the claims established by this Rider No. 1 and which, in all other respects, corresponds to the requirements arising from section 10 of the lease agreement dated 07/09//15/09/2011.


Section 6

Final provisions

 

6.1 Unless agreements to the contrary have been made in this rider, all the agreements and declarations arising from the lease agreement dated 07/09//15/09/2011, which are again expressly repeated herewith by the parties, shall continue to apply. The lease agreement, including the Appendices, is available to both contractual parties

 

6.2 On conclusion of this rider, the Lessor shall be represented by the persons signing on the signature line. As substantiation for the power of representation, a commercial register excerpt of the Lessor is attached (Appendix 7).

On conclusion of the agreement, the Lessee shall be represented by the person(s) signing on the signature line. As substantiation for the power of representation, a commercial register excerpt of the Lessee is attached (Appendix 8).

 

6.3 No side agreements have been entered into. Any amendments and/or supplements to this rider as well as other amendments to the original agreement and previous riders shall be made in writing for their effectiveness. This shall also apply to an amendment of this clause. The parties are aware of the written form requirements of section 550 in conjunction with section 578 (1) BGB [German Civil Code]. They agree that this rider and the lease agreement should be concluded in written form pursuant to sections 550 and 578 BGB. The Parties herewith mutually undertake, upon request by either party at any time, to carry out all the actions and submit all the declarations required to satisfy this written form requirement, in particular to not prematurely terminate the lease agreement by appealing to non-compliance with the written form requirement. This applies not only to the conclusion of the original agreement but also to any riders, amending agreements and supplemental agreements.

In the event of a sale of the leased premises, the purchaser shall not be barred from appealing to any deficit in the written form requirement. However, upon request by the purchaser, the Lessee undertakes to conclude, with this one rider that meets the written form requirement with which the content of the aforementioned paragraph is also made a subject matter of the agreement in relation to the lessee / purchaser.

 

6.4 Should provisions of this rider be or become invalid or unenforceable or should the rider contain a gap, this shall not affect the validity of the remainder of the rider. The party shall replace the invalid, unenforceable or missing provision with a valid or enforceable provision that is as close as possible, in terms of legal admissibility, to the economic outcome of the invalid, unenforceable or missing provision. The parties undertake to agree to such a regulation.

 

6.5 The following Appendices form an integral part of this rider:

 

Appendix 6:            Layout plan of the leased areas on the 6th floor
Appendix 7:    Lessor’s commercial register excerpt
Appendix 8:    Lessee’s commercial register excerpt

The parties agree that in the event of conflict between information / textual determinations in the Appendix and the regulations in this lease agreement, the regulations of this lease agreement shall take priority.


6.6 This rider shall become valid upon legally binding signature. It is executed in two originals of which each party shall receive one signed, executed copy of this agreement. The party first signing the agreement shall be bound to its offer to conclude this lease agreement for 4 weeks. The period shall begin on the day on which the first party has signed the rider according to their own specification in the rider. The party first signing the agreement may extend this period by unilateral written declaration even after the period has commenced.

Section 2

Condition and fixtures and fittings of the additional leased areas

 

2.1 The location of the exclusively leased Additional Leased Premises of this Rider can be found in the layout plan attached as Appendix 9. The allocation of the exclusively leased Additional Leased Premises of this Rider is based on the Lessee’s expansions to date. The Lessee is entitled to inform the Lessor of any changes to the position of the plasterboard partition walls and doors by 01.02.2012 in writing by sending a relevant floor plan. The relevant fire protection doors and walls as well as the technology rooms and the sanitary areas may, however, not be changed. Their location and arrangements are finally set out in the layout plan attached as Appendix 9.

 

2.2 The Lessor shall expand the Additional Leased Premises of this Rider until handover in accordance with the determinations in Section 2 of the lease agreement of 07.09./15.09.2011. The standard fixtures and fittings of the exclusively leased Additional Leased Premises of this Rider and the generally accessible common areas of the building can be found in the general Building, Quality and Fixtures and Fittings Description attached to the lease agreement as Appendix 3.

If and to the extent joint testing must be carried out in the context of the expansion work, this must be completed no later than 01.12.2012. Should it not be possible to comply with this deadline and the Lessee is responsible for same, the Lessor cannot guarantee that the renovation/fixtures and fitting work can be completed in time by 01.03.2013. In this case, any delays in the handover of the Additional Leased Premises of this Rider shall be at the cost of the Lessee and the Lessor shall bear no responsibility.

 

2.3 The Lessee has the right to make additions or changes to construction work “Special Lessee Requests” known to the Lessor no later than 01.12.2012 if and to the extent these are not associated with additional costs of more than EUR 20,000.00 (net) (“Additional Costs Budget”). If the Lessee does not make any Special Lessee Requests known or if the additional costs of the Special Lessee Requests do not exceed the Additional Costs Budget, the Lessor shall credit the Lessee with the unused remainder of the Additional Costs Budget as a one-off net rental reduction. The Lessor shall submit to the Lessee the costs schedule of the additional costs within three weeks after the submission of or final accounts for the execution of the Special Lessee Requests. The Lessee may deduct the rental reduction from the next rental payment after receipt of a relevant credit note from the Lessor.

The Lessor is entitled to refuse the execution of such Special Lessee Requests if and to the extent these are to the detriment of the statics, the technical building equipment or the fire protection and safety concerns of the building, restrict the ability of the property to receive permits on the whole or the expansion in the individual case, or they adversely deviate from the building description so that they are inherent with a reduction in the leased space, result in a delay of the completion of the leased premises or restrict the possibilities of the leased premises to be used by third parties. If Special Lessee Requests are executed, the parties shall conclude a relevant rider to this lease agreement after completion that is in compliance with the statutory written form requirement. This rider shall detail in writing the changes to the fixtures and fittings of the leased premises resulting from the implementation of the Special Lessee Requests.

 

2.4 A handover record shall be prepared on handover of the Additional Leased Premises of this Rider to the Lessee and signed by both parties to the lease. This record shall detail the determinations

 

3/7


  and declarations by the contractual parties. If the determinations or declarations are unilateral and/or disputed, this must be appropriately identified as such. For this reason, the inclusion of such declarations in the handover record may not be refused. If the Lessee does not agree to the content of the record, the Lessee must state same in the record by means of relevant written declarations. The validity of the handover shall not be affected thereby. Each contractual party shall receive a copy of the record.

 

2.5 Unless agreements have been made to the contrary above, the provisions in section 1, section 2 and section 4 of the lease agreement of 07.09./15.09.2011 shall continue to apply without restriction to the condition, fixtures and fittings, handover and use of the Additional Leased Premises of this Rider.

Rider No. 3

to the commercial lease agreement of 07.09./15.09.2011

and Rider No. 1 of 24.04./04/05.2012 and Rider No. 2 of 09.08./16.08.2012

regarding office and ancillary space in the building

“B1”

Benningsen-Platz 1, 40474 Dusseldorf

by and between

Warburg-Henderson Kapitalanlagegesellschaft für Immobilien mbH, Kehrwieder 8, 20457 Hamburg

Sales tax number: 27/144/00307

VAT identification number: DE 215 858 737

– hereinafter referred to as “Lessor” –

and

trivago GmbH, Benningsen-Platz 1, 40474 Dusseldorf

Lessee/agreement number: 0303 + 008

– hereinafter referred to as “Lessee” –

Preamble

With the commercial lease agreement of 07.09./15.09.2011, Rider No. 1 of 24.04./04.05.2012 and Rider No. 2 of 09.08./16.08.2012, the Lessee has let from the Lessor the spaces on the 6th, 10th and 11th floors of the property “B1”- postal address: Benningsen-Platz 1, 40474 Düsseldorf - as well as 25 parking spaces in the property’s underground garage and 2 external parking spaces described in further detail in the agreement and Rider No. 2.

Now, therefore, as the result of their prior negotiations, the parties amend the lease agreement of 07.09./15.09.2011 as follows:

Section 1

Leased property

 

1.1

The commencement of the lease for the additional leased premises on the 6th floor pursuant to section 1.1 of Rider No. 2 of 09.08./16.08.2012 shall commence upon handover of these spaces to the Lessee, which, in deviation to the previous provisions in section 1.1 and section 3.2 of Rider No. 2, is already planned for 01.02.2013. If the Lessee fails to submit the planning documents, to be provided pursuant to section 2 below and approved by the legal representative of the Lessee, by the deadline, the handover of the additional leased premises of Rider No. 2 may be postponed, however, no later than 01.03.2013 (“Latest Handover Date”). In the event of such a postponement, the Lessor shall notify the Lessee of the exact date of the handover 7

 

1/5


  calendar days in advance in writing. After handover of the additional leased premises of Rider No. 2, the parties shall conclude a further Rider in compliance with the written form requirement in which they again set out in writing the exact date of the commencement of the lease for the additional leased premises of Rider No. 2.

 

1.2 In place of the underground garages leased by means of the lease agreement of 07.09./15.09.2011 on the 3rd basement level with numbers 14 and 15, the Lessee shall, from commencement of lease (15.12.2011), use the underground parking spaces on the 3rd basement level with numbers 18 and 19. The underground parking spaces on the 3rd basement level or with numbers 14 and 15 are thus no longer part of the leased property and are replaced by the parking spaces with numbers 18 and 19 on the 3rd basement level. On the whole, in deviation to section 1.2 letter e) of Rider No. 2 of 09.08./16.08.2012, the following parking spaces therefore form part of the leased property:

The 25 parking spaces nos. 14 to 17 on the 2nd and 3rd basement level and 31 to 39 on the second basement level (Appendix 12a) as well as nos. 16 to 19 and 32 to 39 on the 3rd basement level (Appendix 12b) marked in red on the new layout plans attached to this Rider as well as 2 external parking spaces nos. 9 and 10 also marked in red on the layout plans attached to the lease agreement (Appendix 2d) for exclusive use.

The two new layout plans attached to this Rider as Appendices 12a and 12b of the 2nd basement level and 3rd basement level replace the layout plans attached to the lease agreement as Appendix 2c.

Section 2

Condition and fixtures and fittings of the additional leased areas

 

2.1 As an amendment to section 2.1 of Rider No. 2 of 09.08./16.08.2012, the Lessee is only entitled to inform the Lessor of any changes to the position of the plasterboard partition walls and doors until 08.10.2012 in writing by sending a relevant new floor plan finally approved by the Lessee. Should it not be possible for the Lessee to comply with the aforementioned deadline or if the new planning documents submitted by same are only approved as final in respect of the Lessor after this date, the new handover date (01.02.2013) pursuant to section 1.1 of this Rider No. 3 shall be postponed by the period in which the Lessor hands over the changed plans with a delay or approves same with a delay. For the sake of clarity, it is pointed out that any special fixtures entered in the planning documents (e.g. climbing walls, fitness equipment, etc.) require a separate test for feasibility, costs and dates by the Lessor and special Lessee requests within the meaning of section 2.3 of this Rider as well as section 2.3 of Rider No. 2 of 09.08./16.08.2012.

Based on such a postponement of the handover date for these additional rented premises, the Lessee[sic] has no claim for compensation for damages in respect of the Lessee[sic]. If the Lessee fails to submit any changes to plans by 10.10.2012 or if the new planning documents submitted to the Lessor are not finally approved by the Lessee by 10.10.2012, the Lessor shall expand the leased premises of the Lessee in accordance with the previous expansions. The remaining provisions of section 2.1 of Rider No. 2 shall continue in force unchanged.

 

2.2

As an amendment to section 2.2 of Rider No. 2 of 09.08./16.08.2012, the Lessee is only entitled to inform the Lessor of any changes to the previous testing of the fittings and fixtures of the leased premises until 08.10.2012. Should it not be possible to

 

2/5


  comply with this deadline, the Lessor cannot guarantee that the renovation/fixtures and fitting work can be completed in time by the new handover date (01.02.2013). In this case, handover of the additional leased premises of Rider No. 2 can, in turn, be postponed and any delays in the handover of the additional leased premises of this Rider shall be at the cost of the Lessee and the Lessor shall bear no responsibility. The remaining provisions of section 2.2 of Rider No. 2 shall continue in force unchanged.

 

2.3 As an amendment to section 2.3 of Rider No. 2 of 09.08./16.08.2012, the date set out by which the Lessee can make special lessee requests known and which have to be finally approved in respect of the Lessor shall be brought forward to 08.10.2012. After this date, the Lessee shall not be entitled to the Lessor executing any changed or additional construction prior to commencement of lease. The remaining provisions of section 2.3 of Rider No. 2 shall continue in force unchanged, in particular the provision in the second subparagraph of section 2.3 of Rider No. 2 according to which the Lessor is entitled to refuse the execution of special lessee requests under the conditions mentioned therein.

Section 3

Rental and ancillary costs

 

4.1 Based on the changed commencement of lease for the additional leased premises of Rider No. 2 pursuant to section 1.1 of this Rider No. 3, the provision in section 4.1 of Rider No. 2 is amended as follows:

4.2 Should the new handover date for the additional leased premises of Rider No. 2 (01.02.2013) in accordance with the provisions in section 1.1 and section 2 of this Rider be postponed, the aforementioned periods shall be postponed accordingly. In this case, the parties shall conclude a further Rider in compliance with the written form requirement in which the periods for the rentals are again set out in writing.

With respect to the changed commencement of the lease agreed in section 1.1 of this Rider for the additional leased premises of Rider No. 2 of 09.08./16.08.2012, the parties agree the size of the Lessee’s usable area to be used in the heating costs calculation as well as the Lessee’s leased area to be used for the calculation of the ancillary costs to total 4,266.61 m², not, in deviation to section 4.3 of Rider No. 2, as from 01.03.2013 but from the time of the commencement of the lease for the additional leased premises of Rider No. 2 as defined in section 1.1 of this Rider.

Section 4

Final provisions

 

4.1 Unless agreements to the contrary have been made in this Agreement, all the agreements and declarations arising from the lease agreement of 07.09./15.09.2011 as well as Rider No. 1 of 24.04./04.05.2012 and Rider No. 2 of 09.08./16.08.2012 shall continue to endure. These are herewith again expressly repeated by the parties.

 

4.2 On conclusion of this Rider, the Lessor is represented by the persons signing on the signature line. An excerpt from the Lessor’s commercial register is attached (Appendix 13) to prove the power of representation.

On conclusion of this Rider, the Lessee is represented by the person(s) signing on the signature line(s). An excerpt from the Lessee’s commercial register is attached (Appendix 14) to prove the power of representation.

 

6.3 No side agreements have been made. Any amendments and/or supplements to this Rider as well as other amendments to the original agreement and the previous riders must be made in writing for their effectiveness. This also applies to any amendments to this clause. The parties are aware of the written form requirements of sections 550 in conjunction with 578 (1) BGB [German Civil Code]. The parties agree that this Rider and the lease agreement must be concluded in writing

 

4/5


  pursuant to Sections 550 and 578 BGB. Both parties herewith undertake, upon request by either party at any time, to carry out all the actions and submit all the declarations required to comply with this written form requirement and to not terminate the lease agreement prematurely by appealing to non-adherence to the written form requirement. This shall apply not only to the conclusion of the original agreement but also to any riders and amendment and supplementary agreements.

In the event of any disposal of the leased premises, the purchaser shall not be barred from appealing to any deficit in the written form. The Lessee however undertakes, on request by the purchaser, to conclude a rider with same that complies with the written form requirement and in which the content of the aforementioned paragraph is also made a component of the agreement in relation to the Lessee / purchaser.

 

4.4 Should any provisions of this Rider be or become ineffective or unenforceable, or should the Rider contain a gap, this shall not affect the validity of the remainder of the Rider. The parties shall agree to an effective or enforceable provision to replace the ineffective, unenforceable or missing provision that is legally as close as possible to the economic outcome of the ineffective, unenforceable or missing provision. The parties undertake to agree to such a provision.

 

6.5 The following appendices form a contractual part of this Rider:

 

Appendix 12a:

   Parking spaces on the 2nd basement level

Appendix 12b:

   Parking spaces on the 3rd basement level

Appendix 13:

   Lessor’s commercial register excerpt

Appendix 14:

   Lessee’s commercial register excerpt

The parties agree that, in the event of conflicts between information / textual determinations in the appendices on the one hand and provisions in this lease agreement on the other hand, the provisions of this lease agreement shall have priority.

 

6.6 This Rider shall become effective upon legally binding signature by the parties. It is executed as two originals; each party shall receive a signed, executed copy of this agreement. The party first signing the agreement shall be bound to the offer to conclude this lease agreement for 4 weeks. The period shall commence on the day on which the first party signs the Rider, as specified by that party in the Rider. The party first signing the agreement may extend this period even after the commencement of the period by means of a unilateral, written declaration.

Regarding business premises in the building at Bennigsen-Platz 1, 40474 Dusseldorf.


Preamble

The lease agreement of 07./15.09.2011 with Rider No. 1 of 24.04./04.05.2012, Rider No. 2 of 09./16.08.2012, Rider No. 3 of 11./20.12.2012 and Rider No. 4 of 06./13.12.2013 regarding space of approximately 1,543.07 m² on the 11th floor, approximately 1,182.61 m² on the 10th floor, approximately 1,541.61 m² on the 6th floor as well as 13 underground parking spaces on the 2nd basement level, 12 underground parking spaces on the 3rd basement level as well as 2 external parking spaces in the property at Bennigsen-Platz 1, 40474 Dusseldorf is in place between the Previous Lessor and the Lessee.

Zurich Deutscher Herold Lebensversicherung Aktiengesellschaft purchased the property “Bennigsen-Platz 1, 40474 Dusseldorf” by means of a notarially certified purchase agreement dated 30.09.2013 from Warburg-Henderson Kapitalanlagegesellschaft für Immobilien mbH. The ownership, usage and charges passed to Zurich Deutscher Herold Lebensversicherung Aktiengesellschaft as of 01.01.2014. At the same time, Zurich Deutscher Herold Lebensversicherung Aktiengesellschaft took over all the lease agreements in existence for the property “Bennigsen-Platz 1, 40474 Dusseldorf” as the new Lessor. Warburg-Henderson Kapitalanlagegesellschaft für Immobilien mbH therefore withdrew from the lease agreement as a Lessor as of 31.12.2013, which is herewith again documented in writing.

The parties agree to extend the fixed term beyond 31.12.2017 by a further 6 months.

On this basis, the contractual parties agree the following as a rider to the existing lease agreement, including this preamble:

Section 1 Entry/exit of New Lessor and Previous Lessor

 

1.1 The New Lessor enters the mentioned lease agreement as the new Lessor with effect from 01.01.2014 (midnight) with all rights and duties unless agreed to otherwise below. In return, the Previous Lessor exited the lease agreement at the end of 31.12.2013.

 

1.2 The parties agree that any payment claims up to the end of 31.12.2013 against the Lessee are still due to the Previous Lessor and that the New Lessor shall meet all the Lessees’ open payment claims relating to the aforementioned period.

Section 2 Lease period

 

2.1 Pursuant to item 2 of Rider No. 4 of 06./13.12.2013 to the existing main lease agreement and riders, the lease agreement for all the areas leased by the Lessee shall end at the earliest on 31.12.2017.


The parties agree that the fixed term shall be extended by a further 6 months beyond 31.12.2017, that is until 30.06.2018.

The provisions of section 3.2 to section 3.6 of the lease agreement of 07./15.09.2011 shall continue to endure without restriction. Any partial termination of the lease agreement with respect to the additional leased premises (see Rider Nos. 1-4) is, in general, not permitted.

 

2.2 The notice period after expiry of the fixed term or the option period shall be adjusted from latest 12 to 15 months prior to expiry of the fixed period or the option period. This shall apply to both parties.

Section 3 Miscellaneous

 

3.1 The parties to the lease are aware of the special legal written form requirements pursuant to section 550 BGB. The parties shall do everything, and fail to omit anything, to meet the statutory written form requirements and to not terminate the lease agreement by appealing to non-adherence to the statutory written form.
