(ii) Delivery of Possession. Landlord shall deliver possession of the Expansion Space to Tenant for the installation of Tenant improvements on a date that is not less than 120 days prior to the Expansion Space Commencement Date (each, the “Expansion Space Delivery Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord’s failure to deliver all or any portion of the Expansion Space to Tenant on or before the applicable Expansion Space Delivery Date shall not affect the validity of this Lease or the obligations of either Landlord or Tenant under the Lease or be construed to extend the expiration of the Term either as to the Expansion Space or as to the balance of the Premises; provided, however, that (a) the applicable Expansion Space Commencement Date shall be delayed by the exact number of days that the applicable Expansion Space Delivery Date is delayed, (b) if the delay is more than thirty (30) days, then Expansion Space Rent payable by Tenant shall abate on a per diem basis at the rate of two (2) days’ Expansion Space Rent for each day of delay, (c) if the delay is more than 90 days, Tenant shall have all remedies at law and equity (except Tenant shall not have any right to terminate the Lease), (d) if the delay was caused by an existing tenant, then Tenant shall be entitled to receive from Landlord the amount by which the rent paid to Landlord during any holdover by such existing tenant (“Holdover Rent”) exceeds the amount of rent for a like period of time immediately prior to the holdover paid to Landlord by such existing tenant, less the reasonable costs and fees associated with such holdover including, without limitation, the reasonable costs of collecting Holdover Rent, and (e) if the

 

3


delay is more than 6 months, Tenant may, at its election, by notice to Landlord within ten (10) days thereafter (but no later than delivery of such space), elect to terminate its lease of such Expansion Space notwithstanding the prohibition on terminating the Lease set forth above in this paragraph (ii).

(iii) Expansion Space Rent. Beginning on the initial Expansion Space Commencement Date and continuing through December 31, 2020, with respect to the Expansion Space (but not the Existing Premises), Tenant shall not be required to pay Rent or any component thereof as defined and provided in Section 3 of the Original Lease, but Tenant shall pay Landlord in lieu thereof the “Expansion Space Rent,” which shall consist of: (a) annual base rent equal to $15.00 per RSF (the “Expansion Space Base Rent”) of the total Expansion Space then leased by Tenant and (b) Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses and Operating Expense Deposits with respect to the total Expansion Space then leased by Tenant. The Expansion Space Base Rent shall increase by 2.5% annually on each anniversary of the initial Expansion Space Commencement Date. The Expansion Space Rent shall be payable in the same manner and at the same time as Rent is paid for the Existing Premises; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, beginning on the respective Expansion Space Commencement Date for each Phase and continuing for a period of ten (10) months thereafter, the Expansion Space Rent with respect to only the particular Expansion Space which Tenant has begun to lease during such Phase shall abate in its entirety and Tenant shall have no liability therefor during the particular ten (10) month period. For purposes of clarification, such abatement shall apply only to (1) the Phase I Expansion Space during the ten (10) month period following the Expansion Space Commencement Date related to Phase I, (2) the Phase II Expansion Space during the ten (10) month period following the Expansion Space Commencement Date related to Phase II, and (3) the 22nd Floor during the ten (10) month period beginning on January 1, 2010.

(iv) Verification of RSF. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in the Original Lease, including but not limited to Section 1.B (xli) and Exhibit B thereof, Landlord has caused the Rentable Areas of Expansion Space, as indicated in Section 52.A above, to be calculated using current methods for measuring rentable area and usable area as described in the Standard Method for Measuring Floor Area in Office Buildings, ANSI Z65.1-2006, as promulgated by the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) International. Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cause its architect to confirm any or all of Landlord’s measurements of the Expansion Space, and in the event that Landlord’s architect and Tenant’s architect disagree regarding the Rentable Area of the applicable Expansion Space, the parties’ architects shall work together in good faith to agree upon such Rentable Area on or before thirty (30) days after Tenant notifies Landlord of its architect’s calculation of the Rentable Area, which notice shall be accompanied by documentation which supports such calculation.

(v) Condition. Subject to Section 52.A(vi), Landlord shall deliver each Expansion Space to Tenant in its “as is” condition with no obligation for Landlord to improve the Expansion Space or give Tenant an improvement allowance with respect thereto, provided, however, that all pre-existing and unused allowances credited to Tenant under the Lease (the “Unused Allowances”) shall remain in place and may be used by Tenant in the Existing Premises and/or the Expansion Space at its sole discretion, including for any construction hard and soft costs, including, but not limited to, architectural and engineering fees, project management fees and the cost of technology cabling, equipment and other items required to support Tenant’s operations. Upon delivery of each Expansion Space, Landlord, at its own cost, shall provide Tenant’s design firm full architectural and engineering drawings in CADD format for the base Building and any as-built tenant conditions to the extent Landlord has such drawings in its possession. The parties agree that as of the date of final execution and delivery of this Amendment, the total amount of Unused Allowances is $1,951,907.42.

(vi) Landlord’s Work. Landlord, at its own cost, shall (a) make available to Tenant at the core of each floor on which the Premises are located (including the Expansion Space and any First Offer Space) electrical capacity equal to 7.0 watts per usable square foot, demand load, in addition to any watts needed to operate any base Building equipment and HVAC equipment servicing the Premises, (b) modify the sub-metering on the 21st Floor and the 27th Floor to provide a single central meter to allow Tenant to feed all existing panels on each floor, (c) provide Tenant a pathway, which shall be reasonably contiguous with minimal offsets, within the Building core for two (2) four (4) inch openings and associated pull boxes from Tenant’s existing data center within the Building to each Expansion Space floor and allow Tenant or a contractor hired by Tenant to install conduits and cabling, provided that Landlord may require Tenant to submit for Landlord’s approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) construction drawings detailing Tenant’s conduit and cabling work and Landlord, at its own cost, may monitor such work, (d) provide ten (10) tons of supplemental condenser water per year for cooling with 2.5-inch valved take offs at each floor of the Premises [including Expansion Space and any First Offer Space] to be available twenty-four (24) hours a day, every day of the year (subject to shutdowns for emergency repairs or, after providing notice to Tenant, other repairs or maintenance), provided that Tenant shall be responsible for all other costs associated with supplementary cooling, including but not limited to the costs of additional condenser water and installation, repair, maintenance, replacement and operation of such supplementary cooling. Landlord shall complete its work not less than 30 days prior to the applicable Expansion Space Commencement Date and may perform the foregoing work while Tenant is constructing improvements in accordance with Section 52.A(vii) of this Amendment, provided that Landlord shall not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s work.

 

5


(vii) Tenant’s Work. At its own expense, Tenant shall have the right to (a) construct improvements in each Expansion Space in accordance with the terms of the Lease, (b) design and decorate the elevator lobby of any full floor it leases within the Building, and include Tenant’s logo and signage within such lobbies, (c) on any partial floor that Tenant leases, use Tenant’s standard logo and graphics on entrances to the Premises that are visible from the elevator lobby on each floor of the Building, (d) install an uninterruptible power supply (“UPS”) with the initial build out of the Expansion Space (or in connection with future alterations to the Premises in accordance with the Lease), and (e) tie into the Building toilet exhaust riser for exhaust of its UPS room in accordance with Law. In connection with the permitted improvements to the Expansion Space, Tenant may use its own project management firm, architects, engineers, general contractors, subcontractors and vendors. Landlord shall not charge a fee to review Tenant’s design for the Expansion Space or to supervise or monitor construction in the Expansion Space, except that Landlord may require Tenant to pay for a review of the UPS construction drawings by the Building’s structural engineer.

(viii) Tenant’s Exterior Signs. Tenant, at its own expense, shall have the right at any time and from time to time to design, construct, install and attach to the uppermost portions of each of the North and South exteriors of the Building an identifying sign depicting the “Northern Trust” name and logo (the “Signage”) in order to identify Tenant’s occupancy in the Building, subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions at all times during which such Signage has been installed on the Building (collectively, the “Signage Conditions”): (a) there shall be no Default under the Lease, (b) Tenant or an Affiliate of Tenant shall lease and personally occupy at least 370,000 RSF (which number shall not include any portion of the Premises occupied by any other party) in the Building, (c) the size, design, style, location and method of attachment of the Signage shall have been approved by Landlord (which approval, with respect to Signage depicting the “Northern Trust” name and logo specifically, shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (d) the Signage shall comply with all applicable governmental rules and regulations and Tenant, at its sole cost, shall be solely responsible for obtaining any necessary approvals from any governmental authority, (e) the Signage shall not obstruct any views from the Building, and (f) Tenant, at its sole cost, shall maintain the Signage in good condition and repair. If Tenant fails to satisfy any Signage Condition, Landlord may elect, in its sole discretion and as applicable, to (y) cure such Signage Condition or (z) remove the Signage, and in either case, Landlord may charge Tenant for the cost thereof and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such costs in accordance with this Section 52.A(viii). The rights described in this Section 52.A(viii) are personal to Tenant and any Affiliate of Tenant and, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion, shall not be transferable or assignable to any person or entity to which the Lease is assigned or deemed to be assigned pursuant to Section 16.A of the Original Lease or to any sublessee or to any person or entity that

 

6


takes possession of the Premises (or any portion thereof), and upon any assignment, sublease or other transfer of the Lease to any other person or entity, the terms and provisions of this Section 52.A(viii) shall become null and void and of no further force or effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, including but not limited to Section 52.A(viii)(c) above, in the event that at any time during the Term Tenant desires to install Signage that depicts a name and logo other than the name and logo of “Northern Trust,” then the content, design and style of such Signage shall be subject to Landlord’s prior written approval, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion. At the end of the Term, by lapse of time or otherwise, Tenant, at its expense, shall remove all Signage and promptly repair any damage to the exterior of the Building caused by the installation and attachment of such signs or by the removal of such signs. Tenant shall not be obligated to pay Landlord any Rent or fee of any kind for its exterior signage rights as described herein, except that Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any costs Landlord incurs in connection with the Signage within ten (10) days after receipt of an invoice therefor.

(ix) Directory. Landlord, at its cost, shall add personnel listings to the ground floor lobby directory following each Expansion Space Commencement Date and shall update such directory in connection with any changes to the business units and leadership within the Existing Premises and the Expansion Space, provided that Tenant shall be responsible for the cost of any other revisions to the listings.

(x) Restoration. With respect to the Expansion Space, Tenant shall comply with the restoration obligations set forth in Section 15 of the Lease, provided, however, that Landlord agrees that Tenant shall not be obligated to remove the existing stairway between the 27th and 28th floors.

B. Option to Expand. Subject to the renewal rights of Material Service Corporation or any successor in interest thereto (the “Existing Tenant”) and the terms of this Section 52.B, Landlord hereby grants Tenant the option (the “Expansion Option”), effective January 1, 2014 (the “Expansion Option Commencement Date”), to lease the portions of the 18th Floor and 19th Floor, totaling approximately 36,018 RSF (the “Option Space”), that are currently leased to the Existing Tenant.

(i) Landlord shall notify Tenant on or before January 1, 2012 whether the Existing Tenant has exercised its renewal right, and if the Existing Tenant has not exercised such right, Tenant may exercise the Expansion Option by delivering written notice to Landlord on or before January 1, 2013. If Tenant does not so exercise the Expansion Option, the Expansion Option shall thereupon terminate and Tenant shall not thereafter have any right to lease any Option Space pursuant to the Expansion Option.

(ii) Tenant may not elect to lease less than all Option Space in an Expansion Option.

 

7


(iii) Tenant may only exercise the Expansion Option, and an exercise thereof shall only be effective if, at the time of Tenant’s exercise of the Expansion Option and on the Expansion Option Commencement Date, this Lease is in full force and effect and Tenant is not in Default under this Lease.

(iv) If Tenant has validly exercised its Expansion Option, then effective as of the Expansion Option Commencement Date, the Option Space which Tenant will lease shall be included in the Premises, subject to all of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Lease, except that:

(1) Rent per square foot of Rentable Area shall be at the rate of 95% of the Market Rental Rate as defined in Section 43 of the Original Lease and shall commence upon the Expansion Option Commencement Date;

(2) the Rentable Area of the Premises shall be increased by the Rentable Area of the Option Space; and

(3) the terms of the demise covering the Option Space shall commence on the Expansion Option Commencement Date and shall expire simultaneously with the expiration or earlier termination of the term of this Lease, as extended;

(4) the Option Space shall be leased in its “as is” condition as of the Expansion Option Commencement Date, and Landlord shall have no obligation to improve such space for Tenant’s occupancy, unless the Market Rental Rate includes as a component thereof tenant improvements, specific base building condition or any construction allowance, in which case Landlord shall furnish a construction allowance in lieu of providing any tenant improvement or specific base building condition, which allowance to Tenant shall be paid in the manner set forth in Section 48A(iv) of the Original Lease (except for the dollar amount thereof); and

(5) As a material consideration for this Lease, Landlord shall deliver possession of the Option Space to Tenant on a date that is not less than 120 days prior to the Expansion Option Commencement Date. In the event Landlord is unable for any reason to deliver possession of Option Space to Tenant on a date that is not less than 120 days prior to the applicable Expansion Option Commencement Date, Landlord shall not be subject to any liability for failure to deliver possession, except as hereinafter provided. Such failure to deliver possession shall not affect either the validity of this Lease or the obligations of either Landlord or Tenant hereunder, or be construed to extend the expiration of the Term of this Lease either as to the Option Space or the Existing Premises; provided, however, that (a) the applicable Expansion Option Commencement Date shall be delayed by a number of days equal to the number of days Landlord is delayed in delivering possession of the Option Space to Tenant, (b) if the delay is more than thirty (30) days, then Rent payable by Tenant for the Option Space shall abate on a per diem basis at the rate of two

 

8


(2) days’ Rent for the Option Space for each day of delay, (c) if the delay is more than 90 days, Tenant shall have all remedies at law and equity (except Tenant shall not have any right to terminate this Lease), (d) if the delay was caused by an existing tenant, then Tenant shall be entitled to receive from Landlord the amount by which the Holdover Rent exceeds the amount of rent for a like period of time immediately prior to the holdover paid to Landlord by such existing tenant, less the reasonable costs and fees associated with such holdover including, without limitation, the reasonable costs of collecting Holdover Rent, and (e) if the delay is more than 6 months, Tenant may, at its election, by notice to Landlord within ten (10) days thereafter (but no later than delivery of such space), elect to terminate its lease of the Option Space, notwithstanding the prohibition on terminating the Lease set forth above in this paragraph (5).

C. Tenant’s Proportionate Share. Effective upon each Expansion Space Commencement Date and the Expansion Option Commencement Date, Tenant’s Proportionate Share shall be adjusted as provided in Section 4A(ii) of the Original Lease.

D. Use. Tenant shall use and occupy the Expansion Space and the Option Space only for the uses described in Section 6 of the Lease.

E. Acknowledgement. Promptly following the addition of any space to the Premises, Landlord and Tenant shall confirm the agreed-upon Rentable Area of the Premises, Tenant’s Proportionate Share, and Base Rent with respect to any space added to the Premises by executing an Additional Space Acknowledgement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

4. Term. Section 2 of the Original Lease is hereby deleted and replaced with the following: “The term of this Lease (the “Term”) commences on the 1st day of December, 2000 (the “Commencement Date”) and shall expire on December 31, 2025 (the “Expiration Date”), unless sooner terminated or extended as hereinafter provided.”

5. Rent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, the Rent due under the Lease shall be modified as follows:

A. Provided Tenant is not then in Default under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease, effective on July 1, 2008 and continuing through December 31, 2020, annual Base Rent for the Existing Premises only shall be reduced by $2.25 per RSF of the Existing Premises per annum.

B. Beginning on the date of final execution and delivery of this Amendment, Tenant shall receive from Landlord an immediate Rent credit in the amount of $3,000,000.00 (“Rent Credit”), to be applied as provided in this Paragraph B in Tenant’s sole discretion as it elects in a written notice to be given to Landlord, including, at any time or from time to time during the Term, toward all or any portion of Rent or any component of Rent, provided that at the time Tenant seeks to apply the Rent Credit, Tenant is not in Default under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease.

C. Effective January 1, 2021, the Base Rent shall be adjusted to equal one hundred percent (100%) of the Prevailing Market Rent (as defined below) for the Premises, including the Existing Premises, the Expansion Space and the Option Space. “Prevailing Market Rent” shall mean the annual market rental rate or rates for renewal leases of space in the Building and other comparable office buildings within the central business district of Chicago consisting of more than 100,000 rentable square feet and otherwise comparable to the extent practicable with respect to the condition, location and use of the Premises (“Comparable Leases”) for a term of five (5) years, adjusting for all concessions, landlord work and expenses, brokerage commissions, allowances and other incentives provided in the Comparable Leases. Only Comparable Leases executed during the twelve (12) month period prior to the date of Landlord’s written notice to Tenant of Landlord’s determination of the Prevailing Market Rent during such period shall be considered in determining the Prevailing Market Rent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Prevailing Market Rent shall take into account the future value of the following, calculated as provided below: (i) the reduction in annual Base Rent pursuant to Paragraph 5.A above, and (ii) applicable leasing commissions payable for the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2025 in connection with the extension of the Term with respect to the Premises (including the Existing Premises, the Expansion Premises and the Option Space) through December 31, 2025 pursuant to this Amendment (collectively, the “Concessions and Costs”). The future value of Concessions and Costs shall be (1) calculated using an interest rate of 8.5% per annum beginning on the date each commission is paid, and the date each such rent reduction inures to the benefit of Tenant, and (2) compounded on a monthly basis. An example of the methodology used to determine Prevailing Market Rent taking into consideration the adjustments to Concessions and Costs listed above is attached to this Amendment as Exhibit C and made a part hereof as if fully set forth herein. Landlord will deliver written notice to Tenant of its determination of the Prevailing Market Rent not later than July 1, 2020. If Tenant believes that the Prevailing Market Rent quoted by Landlord is not consistent herewith, Tenant may object in writing within ten (10) days after receipt of Landlord’s written notice, and Landlord and Tenant shall commence negotiations to attempt to agree upon the Prevailing Market Rent. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to reach agreement on the Prevailing Market Rent within ten (10) days after the date the parties commence negotiations, then Landlord and Tenant shall follow the procedure set forth in Section 43.C of the Original Lease, provided that the term “Market Rental Rate” therein shall be “Prevailing Market Rent” as defined herein.

6. Contraction Option.

A. If Tenant exercises its third Contraction Option in accordance with Section 45 of the Original Lease, in addition to the Contraction Fee, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for an amount equal to the Concessions and Costs, calculated in accordance with Paragraph 5.C of this Amendment (including the interest thereon), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the RSF of the Excluded Premises and the denominator of which is the RSF of the Existing Premises, provided that such Contraction Option shall be null and void if Tenant exercises the Expansion Option.

B. Tenant, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to reduce the Premises by one (1) floor between the 21st Floor and the 28th Floor, effective December 31, 2020 (the “Expansion Space Contraction Option”), on the same terms and conditions set forth in Section 45 of the Lease with respect to the Contraction Options, except that the Contraction Fee payable by Tenant to Landlord shall be an amount equal to one (1) year of Expansion Space Rent paid in the calendar year 2020.

 

10


7. Extension Options. Landlord hereby grants Tenant the options to extend the Term of this Lease for either (i) one ten-year period, or (ii) one or two (2) five-year periods in accordance with all of the terms, conditions and provisions of the Original Lease including Rent, as modified by this Paragraph 7. On or before eighteen (18) months prior to December 31, 2025, Tenant by written notice to Landlord shall notify Landlord whether it elects to extend the Term of this Lease for five (5) years from January 1, 2026, with an option to extend the Term for an additional five (5) years from January 1, 2031, or for ten (10) years from January 1, 2026.

In the event that Tenant elects to extend the Term for ten (10) years, then the following revisions shall be deemed to be made to the Original Lease: (a) Section 41 of the Original Lease shall be deleted; (b) throughout the Lease, including but not limited to Section 42 of the Original Lease, the terms “Second Extension Period” and “Second Extension Period Commencement Date” shall be replaced with the terms “Extension Period” and “Extension Period Commencement Date”; and (c) the first sentence of Section 42 of the Original Lease shall be deleted and replaced with the following:

Subject to the provisions hereinafter set forth, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant the option to extend the Term on the same terms, conditions and provisions as contained in the Lease, except as otherwise provided herein, for ten (10) additional years (the “Extension Period”), commencing on January 1, 2026 (the “Extension Period Commencement Date”) and expiring on December 31, 2035 (the “Extension Period Expiration Date”).

In the event that Tenant elects to extend the Term for five (5) years, with an additional option to extend the Term for a further five (5) years, then the following revisions shall be deemed to be made to the Original Lease: (x) in Section 41 of the Original Lease, the dates “January 1, 2021” and “December 31, 2025” shall be replaced with the dates “January 1, 2026” and “December 31, 2030,” respectively; and (y) in Section 42 of the Original Lease, the dates “January 1, 2026” and “December 31, 2030” shall be replaced with the dates “January 1, 2031” and “December 31, 2035,” respectively.

8. Relocation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, Landlord shall not have the right to relocate all or any portion of Tenant’s space to any other space in the Building at any time during the Term, including the Extension Period.

9. Subordination. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge and agree that Section 20 of the Original Lease captioned “Subordination and Superiority of This Lease” shall remain in full force and effect.

10. Brokers. Landlord and Tenant each represent and warrant to the other that the only brokers they have dealt with in connection with this Amendment are MB Real Estate Services LLC and Staubach Midwest LLC, both of whose commissions and

 

11


fees shall be paid by Landlord pursuant to a separate written agreement. Landlord and Tenant each agree to defend, indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against all claims by any other broker for fees, commissions or other compensation to the extent such broker alleges to have been retained by the indemnifying party in connection with the execution of this Amendment. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease.

11. Limitation of Landlord’s Liability. The obligations of Landlord under the Lease as amended by this Amendment do not constitute personal obligations of the individual partners, members, directors, officers, shareholders, trustees or beneficiaries of Landlord, and Tenant shall not seek recourse against the partners, members, directors, officers, shareholders, trustees or beneficiaries of Landlord, or any of their personal assets for satisfaction of any liability with respect to the Lease as amended by this Amendment. In the event of any Default by Landlord under the Lease as amended by this Amendment, Tenant’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be against Landlord’s interest in the Building and the real property on which it is located. The provisions of this paragraph are not designed to relieve Landlord from the performance of any of its obligations hereunder, but rather to limit Landlord’s liability in the case of the recovery of a judgment against it, as aforesaid, nor shall any of the provisions of this paragraph be deemed to limit or otherwise affect Tenant’s right to obtain injunctive relief or specific performance or availability of any other right or remedy which may be accorded Tenant by law or the Lease. In the event of sale or other transfer of Landlord’s right, title and interest in the Building, through which the purchaser or transferee, as Landlord’s successor, assumes all liability and obligations thereafter accruing under the Lease, as amended by this Amendment, Landlord shall be released from all liability and obligations thereafter accruing under the Lease as amended by this Amendment; provided, that this paragraph shall inure to the benefit of any such purchaser or transferee.

12. Controlling Language.

Exhibit C

Northern Trust 5 Year Extension at Market (2021 - 2025)

Adjusted Base Rental Rate Calculation

Methodology

As indicated in Section 5.C. of the Third Amendment to Lease, beginning 1/1/2021, the Base Rent for TNT’s entire premises at 181 W. Madison shall adjust to equal one hundred percent (100%) of the Prevailing Market Rent as defined within the Amendment. As described, Prevailing Market Rent shall take into account the future value of the existing lease rent reduction and applicable leasing commissions paid for the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2025 (collectively referred to as the “Value of Landlord Concession and Costs”) and calculated to equal $63.13 per rsf. This amount will be utilized as the Value of Landlord’s Concession and Costs to determine TNT’s Base Rent, which results in an equivalent Net Effective Rent (NER) of the then Prevailing Market Rent. The following offers an example of this calculation based upon a potential Prevailing Market Rent as defined in the Lease.

Given the value of the Landlord Concessions and Costs and under these assumed Prevailing Market Rent terms, TNT’s Base Rent effective 1/1/2021 would reset to:
