2024. Staff will conduct market research over the next month and present to the City Council updated rental
rates to consider at a June work session based on the findings.

Attachments: April 23.pdf
Hi Joe,
Based on the discussion I heard on video take place at the counsel meeting last week, it seemed there
may have been open questions on if I was paying my rent on time as part of my sublease agreement as
well as questions about how much I am currently playing. See below for the screenshots from my bank
transactions with respect to the rent checks I have written since my lease started. As you can see in the
first payment I made, I did write 5 months of rent in advance for August— December back in 2022. The
dates my bank shows are the dates the checks were cashed. It won't allow me to print copies of the
checks to show the date I wrote them but if needed I can swing by the bank and try to get them to
pull/produce that for me. I did write the April 23' check from my personal account given I ran out of
business checks (see attached for a PDF of that check).

Please understand I would like to make this clear it is not a push to get iBackCheck out. The partnership
and space we currently have shared has been smooth sailing with Dr. Christi Jo from my perspective
since it started in August of 22. 1 want to make sure everything is covered on our end in city counsels eyes
and answers some questions form the past meeting in regards to TBH. As mentioned in our discussion
Last Tuesday, if the city counsel makes the decision to follow through on termination, please know my
business is interested at a bare minimum of maintaining our current sublease. We love our space. We
also have interest in the entire space if it does become available pending the price after the evaluation
from the city before considering outside businesses.
Thanks,
Ben

SUB -LEASE
THIS SUB -LEASE, dated as of this 27th day of April, 2022, between iBackCheck, PLLC
d/b/a iBackCheck Sport Therapy ("Landlord"), and TWO BROTHERS HOCKEY, LLC,
("Tenant"), witnesses the parties' agreement as to the following terms, conditions, covenants,
and agreements.
ARTICLE 1. DEMISED PREMISES
"Demised Premises" means the designated and assigned 48 percent portion of the leased
property that Landlord has originally leased from the City of Elk River (the "Property Owner"),
located at 1000 School Street, in the City of Elk River, State of Minnesota. The leased property
of the Landlord consists of 3,038 rentable square feet in the building known as the Community
Center and located at 1000 School Street, Elk River, MN (the "Building'). The Building is part
of the "Property" legally described and originally leased by the Property Owner pursuant to
"Lease Agreement" (the "Lease'), a copy of which is attached as Exhibit A hereto and
incorporated herein. This Sub -Lease is subordinate to the Lease, and all articles of this Sub -
Lease are intended to abide by and conform to the terms and conditions of the Lease Further,
the Demised Premises to be sub -let from Landlord to Tenant is depicted in the floor plan
attached as Exhibit B hereto, and has been or will be approved and confirmed by Property
Owner prior to commencement of term below.
ARTICLE 2. TERM
The term of this Sub -Lease commences upon the scheduled Closing Date of May 3, 2022,
with the understanding that the first rent payment shall be due on August 1, 2022, and the Sub -
Lease shall expire on July 31, 2024, subject to earlier termination in accordance with this Sub -
Lease. The Tenant agrees to take the Demised Premises in its "AS IS" condition at the time of
the anticipated delivery date from Property Owner to Landlord (currently scheduled for July
2022). Upon nearing the expiration of the term, the Tenant shall give a minimum of sixty (60)
days advance written notice of any intent to extend the Sub -Lease and interest in entering into a
new Sub -Lease agreement with the Landlord. Landlord shall have exclusive right to enter into
new Sub -Lease negotiations and potential agreement with Tenant, or with another third party,
or take over the entire Demised Premises.
ARTICLE 3. BASE RENT
During the first year of the term of this Sub -Lease, the monthly Base Rent for the
demised property shall be Two Thousand One Hundred Eighty -Seven and 36/100 Dollars
($2,187.26), i.e., $1.50/rentable square foot payable in advance on or before August 1, 2022, and
thereafter on or before the first day of each and every month during the term, at the office of the
Landlord.
Page 290 of 430
Beginning with August 1, 2023 and throughout the second year of the term of this Sub -
Lease, the monthly Base Rent for the demised property shall be Two Thousand Two Hundred
Forty -Five and 68/100 Dollars ($2,245.68), i.e., $1.54/rentable square foot payable in advance on
or before the first day of each and every month of the remainder of the term, at the office of the
Landlord.
ARTICLE 4. ADDITIONAL RENT
A. Tenant shall pay, for each calendar year or partial calendar year during which
this Sub -Lease is in force, as Additional Rent, its pro -rats share of the Real Estate Taxes,
Personal Property Taxes, and Operating Expenses allocable to the Building and the Property of
which it is a part.
B. Upon completion of each calendar year during the term of this Sub -Lease,
Landlord shall determine the actual amount of the Real Estate Taxes and Operating Expenses
payable in such calendar year and Tenanfs share thereof and deliver a written certification of
these amounts to Tenant. Any overpayment or underpayment will be due from Landlord or
Tenant, as the case may be, within twenty (20) days after Landlord provides the certification.
C. Tenant recognizes that late payment of Rent will result in administrative expense
and financial risk to the landlord, the extent of which is difficult and economically impractical
to ascertain. Tenant therefore agrees that if rent or any other sum is not paid when due and
payable pursuant to this Lease, a late charge shall be imposed in an amount equalt to the
greater of: (a) One Hundred and no/100 ($100.00) Dollars, or (b) a sum equal to five (5%)
percent per month of the unpaid rent or other payment.
ARTICLE 5. DELIVERY OF PREMISES
Tenant agrees to accept delivery of the Demised Premises in the same condition as
Landlord accepts from Property Owner on May 3, 2022. Landlord agrees to work with Tenant
during the "move -in period" set forth in Article 6 of the Lease to facilitate the preparation of the
Demised Premises for use by both parties and commencement of business operations. See the
Addendum hereto attached as Exhibit C and incorporated herein by reference.
ARTICLE 6. USE
Tenant shall use the Demised Premises for sports training and therapy and ancillary
service purposes only, subject to all local, state, and federal laws regulating the use of the
Demised Premises. Tenant shall not do anything to create any unusual nuisance, noise, or odor,
or otherwise interfere with or disturb any other tenant of the Property or Landlord in its
utilization of the Property as a chiropractic clinic. Tenant shall conduct no unlawful activity on
the Demised Premises, or the Building or Property. Tenant acknowledges having received and
read the Lease attached as Exhibit A, and agrees to abide by all of its terms and conditions as
part of this Sub -Lease.
-2-
Page 291 of 430
ARTICLE 7. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Tenant shall defend, indemnify, and hold Landlord (and Property Owner) harmless
from and against any and all actions, claims, proceedings, causes of action, damages, losses, and
expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and environmental engineering fees)
resulting from or relating to the existence of any Hazardous Substance at the Property that
results from or relates to Tenant's use or occupancy of the Demised Premises. "Hazardous
Substance" means any pollutant or other toxic or hazardous waste, or other substance regulated
by any applicable law relating to environmental matters and any materials containing friable
asbestos, urea formaldehyde or polychlorinated biphenyls. No waiver of liability provision set
forth in Article 13 of this Sub -Lease shall apply to this indemnity. This indemnity shall survive
expiration or termination of this Sub -Lease.
ARTICLE 8. PARKING / RULES AND REGULATIONS
Tenant will comply with such reasonable rules and regulations as the Property Owner
and Landlord may prescribe, on written notice to Tenant, for the safety, care, cleanliness, or
orderly management of the Building or Property. No more than three (3) parking spaces are to
be occupied at any one time by Tenant and its invitees. Overnight storage of vehicles, and the
storage at any time of any other items or materials outside the Demised Premises but within the
Property, is prohibited.
Property Owner and Landlord may regulate parking and allocate parking spaces within
the Property to Tenant and the Landlord's other lessees, if the need arises. Landlord has the
right, in the event of such an allocation, to designate specific space numbers for Tenant's
exclusive use, and Tenant shall use those spaces only; provided, however, that Landlord shall,
in making such a designation, consult with Tenant and use its best efforts to designate spaces in
locations acceptable to Tenant.
ARTICLE 9. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS
Tenant will keep the Demised Premises continuously in a neat, clean, and sanitary
condition and in as good condition as when turned over to it, reasonable wear and tear
excepted. This maintenance and repair obligation extends to all interior walls, doors, windows,
plumbing and electrical fixtures within the Demised Premises, except as these obligations may
be covered by manufacturer or contractor warranties.
Excepting matters that are Tenant's obligation under this Article, Landlord (and/or
Property Owner) will maintain and manage the Building and Property by providing such
services as are customary for like buildings in the area. Except as provided elsewhere in this
Sub -Lease concerning damage caused by Tenant not subject to a waiver of claims, Landlord
(and/or Property Owner) shall at its sole expense maintain, repair and replace the Building's
roof and load bearing walls, floors and columns. Landlord shall perform, as a reimbursable
Operating Expense, all other maintenance and repairs which are not Tenant's obligation under
this Article.
-3-
Page 292 of 430
If Tenant fails to maintain or repair the Demised Premises as required in this Sub -Lease
after written notice shall have been given to Tenant, and after Tenant has had a reasonable time
to make the repairs, Landlord may make such repairs, at Tenant's expense, without liability to
Tenant for any ensuing loss or damage.
ARTICLE 10. ALTERATIONS
Tenant acknowledges that this Sub -Lease gives it no right to make material interior
changes, additions, or other alterations to the Demised Premises without Landlord's prior
written consent, and Tenant agrees not to do so. Landlord, at its discretion, may waive this
prohibition under such circumstances and subject to such conditions as Landlord deems
appropriate.
ARTICLE 11. SIGNS
Tenant understands that all signage is under the exclusive control of the Property
Owner, and Landlord has sought permission to install at Tenant's own expense, one exterior
entry sign (at a designated entry location) stating Tenant's name, which Tenant shall maintain,
and may retain upon expiration of the Sub -Lease. Tenant shall place no other sign anywhere on
the Property that is visible from outside the Demised Premises without Landlord's prior written
consent.
ARTICLE 12. UTILITIES
The parties understand that the Property Owner has responsibility for all water, sewer,
gas, heat, light, and power (standard utilities) supplied to the Demised Premises. Tenant shall
pay its proportionate (48%) share for all other services provided to or by Landlord and shared
with Tenant, including phone, cable, internet, etc.
ARTICLE 13. INSURANCE
A. Landlord shall at all times during the term of this Sub -Lease insure the Building
against loss or damage by fire, explosion, or other insurable hazards and contingencies for full
replacement value, provided that Landlord shall not be obligated to insure any trade fixtures or
personal property belonging to or Sub -Leased by Tenant. Tenant shall not be responsible for
payment of any deductible or co-insurance portion of Landlord's fire and extended coverage
insurance.
B. Notwithstanding any provision of this Sub -Lease to the contrary, Tenant shall
not carry any stock of goods or do anything in or about the Demised Premises which will in any
way impair or invalidate the obligation of the insurer under any policy of insurance required by
this Sub -Lease.
-4-
Page 293 of 430
C. Each insurance policy required hereunder shall provide that the insured party
has relinquished all rights to recover against the other party for loss or damage resulting from
perils insured against by the policy, to the extent of the coverage. Each party waives any claim
against the other for any loss or damage which is covered by insurance maintained pursuant to
this Sub -Lease. Landlord and Tenant shall promptly notify their respective insurance carrier(s)
of this waiver of subrogation rights.
D. In the event that the use of the Demised Premises by Tenant increases the
premium rate for insurance carried by Landlord on the Property, the Building or any portion
thereof, Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand the amount of such premium increase. If
Tenant installs or uses any electrical equipment that overloads the power lines to the Building
or its wiring, Tenant shall, at its own expense, make whatever changes are necessary to comply
with the requirements of the insurance underwriter, insurance rating bureau, and governmental
authorities having jurisdiction.
E. Tenant shall during the term hereof keep in full force and effect at its expense a
policy or policies of public liability insurance with respect to the Demised Premises and the
business of Tenant, under limits of liability not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit. Such
policy or policies shall provide that ten (10) days' written notice must be given to Landlord
prior to cancellation or material amendment thereof. Tenant shall furnish evidence satisfactory
to Landlord at the time this Sub -Lease is executed and thereafter, on request, that such coverage
is in full force and effect. Tenant's providing insurance as prescribed herein does not release
Tenant from liability to Landlord under this Sub -Lease or otherwise under applicable law, nor
does it otherwise limit that liability, except as to those claims expressly waived under another
provision of this Sub -Lease. Tenant will indemnify and defend Landlord and hold Landlord
harmless, including reasonable attorney's fees, from claims for personal injury or property
damage asserted by Tenant's employees, agents, invitees, or any other person, or any business
entity, arising from Tenant's operations on the Demised Premises during the term of this Sub -
Lease.
ARTICLE 14. NON -LIABILITY
Unless caused by Landlord's gross negligence, under no circumstances shall Landlord
be liable to Tenant or persons claiming through Tenant for any loss or damage to any property
of Tenant or of others by theft or destruction; any injury or damage to persons or property
resulting from fire, explosion, falling plaster, steam, gas, electricity, water, rain or snow or leaks
from any part of the Property or from the pipes, appliances, or plumbing works or from the
roof, street or subsurface or from any other place or by dampness or by any other cause of
whatsoever nature. Under no circumstances will Landlord be liable to Tenant or persons
claiming through Tenant for any such damage caused by any other tenant, other occupant, or
invitee of the Property, or the public, or caused by operations in construction of any private,
public or quasi -public work, or caused by the absence or interruption of utilities; any loss or
damage resulting from acts of God or any cause beyond Landlord's reasonable control; any loss
or damage caused by Landlord's failure to make the Demised Premises available for occupancy
on the scheduled commencement date of the Sub -Lease term; or any consequential damage no
matter what the cause.
-5-
Page 294 of 430
ARTICLE 15. EMINENT DOMAIN
A. If the entirety of the Demised Premises are condemned (this term includes sales
in lieu of condemnation, and so-called "quick takes"), then this Sub -Lease will terminate as of
the date possession shall be taken by the condemning authority, and rent shall be paid to the
date of such termination. Otherwise, this Sub -lease will remain in effect notwithstanding any
condemnation, but with an equitable abatement of Base Rent and/or Additional Rent based on
the portion, if any, of the Demised Premises rendered unsuitable for office use and the extent of
that unsuitability. Absent termination of this Sub -Lease, Landlord has the option of reducing or
eliminating any unsuitability resulting from a condemnation by restoring or remodeling the
Den-dsed Premises or by making available substitute areas of the Property reasonably
acceptable to Tenant.
B. Landlord is entitled to all condemnation proceeds, no matter what the stated
basis therefor; provided, however, that Tenant shall have the right to claim and recover from
the condemning authority, but not from Landlord, such compensation as may be separately
awarded or recoverable by Tenant in Tenant's own right on account of any relocation costs or
any resulting damage to Tenant's business. Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the
value of any unexpired term of this Sub -Lease.
ARTICLE 16, DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION
In the event of any damage or destruction to the Property by fire or other cause during
the term hereof, the following provisions shall apply:
A. If the Building is damaged by fire or any other cause to such extent that the cost
of restoration, as reasonably estimated by Landlord (and/or Property Owner), will equal or
exceed thirty percent (30%) of the replacement value of the Building (exclusive of land value
and foundations) just prior to the occurrence of the damage, then Landlord may, no later than
the ninetieth (90th) day following the damage, give Tenant written notice of Landlord's election
to terminate this Sub -Lease. In such event, this Sub -Lease shall be deemed to terminate on the
thirtieth (30th) day after the date of Landlord's notice of election to terminate, and all rentals
shall be paid up to said thirtieth (30f) day. Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the
value of any unexpired term of this Sub -Lease.
B. If the cost of restoration as estimated by Landlord (and/or Property Owner) is
less than thirty percent (30%) of said replacement value of the Building, or if, despite the cost,
Landlord does not elect to terminate this Sub -Lease, then Landlord shall restore the Demised
Premises with reasonable promptness, subject to delays beyond Landlord's control and delays
in the making of insurance adjustments; and Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Sub -
Lease except as herein provided. Landlord shall not be responsible for restoring or repairing
trade fixtures, leasehold improvements, personal property or equipment of Tenant.
C. In any case where damage to the Demised Premises renders them materially
unsuitable in whole or in part for office use, then unless such damage was wholly or partially
caused by the negligence or breach of the terms of this Sub -Lease by Tenant, its employees or
-6-
Page 295 of 430
invitees, a portion of the rent based upon the amount or the extent to which the Demised
Premises are rendered unsuitable shall be abated until the Demised Premises are repaired or
restored. If the destruction or damage was wholly or partially caused by negligence or breach
of the terms of this Sub -Lease by Tenant as aforesaid and if Landlord elects to rebuild, there will
be no abatement of rent.
ARTICLE 17. SURRENDER
Upon termination or expiration of this Sub -Lease, Tenant agrees to do the following on
or before the expiration or termination date: (a) remove all signs, personal property, and trade
fixtures belonging to or leased by Tenant; (b) repair all damage resulting from such removal;
(c) promptly surrender all keys to Landlord at the place then fixed for payment of rent and
inform Landlord of the combinations of any locks and safes that will remain behind; and (d)
surrender possession of the Demised Premises broom clean and in as good condition and repair
as the same were in at the commencement of this Sub -Lease except for (i) reasonable wear and
tear, (ii) repairs and restorations required to be made by Landlord as herein provided, and (iii)
damage or destruction covered by insurance required to be maintained under this Sub -Lease.
Tenant agrees that Landlord will have the option, with respect to all or any of Tenant's
personal property left behind in violation of this Article, to store it at Tenant's expense or
declare and treat it as having been abandoned by Tenant.
ARTICLE 18. HOLDING OVER
Any holding over without Landlord's written consent after termination or expiration of
this Sub -Lease is a breach hereof entitling Landlord to institute legal action to dispossess Tenant
and to sue Tenant for any damages resulting from the holding over. Any holding over with
Landlord's consent will, absent a contrary writing executed by the parties, be considered a
month to month extension of this Sub -Lease with Base Rent payable as provided in the next
sentence. In all cases, except insofar as Landlord may hereafter agree in writing, so long as
Tenant remains in possession after termination or expiration of this Sub -Lease, Tenant agrees to
pay Base Rent at double the rate in effect immediately prior to termination or expiration hereof,
and otherwise to abide by all terms and obligations imposed on Tenant under this Sub -Lease.
ARTICLE 19. DEFAULT OF TENANT
A. In the event of any failure of Tenant to pay any Base Rent, Additional Rent, or
other sum when due hereunder; or any failure of Tenant to perform any other term, condition
or covenant of this Sub -Lease for more than five (5) days (or such additional time, in no event
more than ninety (90) days, as is reasonably required to correct such failure) after written notice;
or if Tenant or an agent of Tenant shall falsify any report required to be furnished to Landlord
pursuant to the terms of this Sub -Lease, or otherwise misrepresent any material fact in any
writing provided to Landlord; or if Tenant or any guarantor of this Sub -Lease shall become
bankrupt or insolvent, or file any debtor proceedings, or any person shall take or have against
-7-
Page 296 of 430
Tenant or any guarantor of this Sub -Lease in any court pursuant to any statute either of the
United States or of any state a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency or for reorganization or for
the appointment of a receiver or trustee of all or a portion of Tenant's or any such guarantor's
property; or if Tenant or any such guarantor makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or
petitions for or enters into an arrangement; or if Tenant shall abandon the Demised Premises for
a period of more than ninety-six (96) consecutive hours or suffer this Sub -Lease to be taken
under any writ of execution; then, in any such event, Tenant shall be in default hereunder (a
"Default"), and Landlord, in addition to other rights and remedies it may have, may declare all
rents reserved under this Sub -Lease for the then unexpired balance of the term to be
immediately due and payable, and shall have the immediate right of re-entry and may remove
all persons and property from the Demised Premises, and such property may be removed and
stored in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost and for the account of Tenant, all without
service of further notice or resort to legal process and without Landlord's being guilty of
trespass or becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby.
B. Should Landlord elect to re-enter the Demised Premises after Tenant's Default as
herein provided, or should it take possession of the Demised Premises after Tenant's Default
pursuant to legal proceedings or pursuant to any notice provided for by law, Landlord may
either terminate this Sub -Lease or may from time to time, without terminating this Sub -Lease,
make such alterations and repairs as may be necessary in order to relet the Demised Premises,
and may relet the Demised Premises or any part thereof for such term or terms (which may be
for a term extending beyond the term of this Sub -Lease) and at such rental or rentals and upon
such other terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may deem advisable. Upon
each such reletting, all rentals received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied first to
the payment of any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord;
second, to the payment of Landlord's costs and expenses of such reletting, including reasonable
brokerage fees, attorney's fees, and costs of alterations and repairs necessary to prepare the
space for a new tenant; third, to the payment of rent due and unpaid hereunder; and the
residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as the same
may become due and payable hereunder. If such rentals received from such reletting during
any month be less than the rentals to be paid during that month by Tenant hereunder, then
Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord on demand. No such re-entry or taking
possession of the Demised Premises by Landlord, nor any other act or omission to act by
Landlord, shall be construed as an election on Landlord's part to terminate this Sub -Lease
unless a written notice of Landlord's intention to terminate be given to Tenant, or unless the
termination hereof be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any such
reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time after such re-entry and reletting elect
to terminate this Sub -Lease for Tenant's said previous Default. Should Landlord at any time
terminate this Sub -Lease by reason of any Default by Tenant, then in addition to any other
remedies it may have, Landlord may recover from Tenant all damages it may incur by reason of
such Default, including the cost of recovering possession of the Demised Premises, reasonable
attorney's fees, and the net present value at the time of such termination (utilizing a discount
rate of 7.5%) of the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of Base Dent and Additional Rent reserved in
this Sub -Lease for the remainder of its stated term, over (ii) the then reasonable rental value of
the Demised Premises for the remainder of the stated Sub -Lease Term, all of which amounts
shall be immediately due and payable from Tenant to Landlord.
-S-
Page 297 of 430
C. In the event suit shall be brought for recovery of possession of the Demised
Prep- ses or for any other remedy available to Landlord after Tenant's Default, and in the event
such Default by Tenant shall be established in such action, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord all
expenses therein incurred, including reasonable attorney's fees, together with interest at the rate
of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month from the date of Default on all damages awarded,
attorney's fees and expenses.
D. No remedy herein or elsewhere in this Sub -Lease, or otherwise by law, statute or
equity conferred upon or reserved to Landlord or Tenant, shall be exclusive of any other rem-
edy, but all such remedies shall be cumulative, and may be exercised from time to time and as
often as the occasion may arise.
ARTICLE 20. LANDLORD'S WARRANTY
Landlord warrants and covenants that upon Tenant's paying the rents and performing
the covenants and agreements herein stated, Tenant shall and may peaceably and quietly have,
hold and enjoy the Dernised Premises for the term herein set forth. Landlord shall not be
deemed to be in default under this Sub -Lease until Tenant has given Landlord written notice
specifying the nature of the default and Landlord does not cure such default within thirty (30)
days after receipt of such notice or within such reasonable time thereafter as may be necessary
to cure such default where such default is of such a character as to reasonably require more than
thirty (30) days to cure.
ARTICLE 21. RENT DUE ABSOLUTELY
Tenant's obligations to pay Base Rent and Additional Dent are each independent of any
other provision of this Sub -Lease, and such rents shall be due irrespective of any claim of setoff
or other claim by Tenant against Landlord. All rents due under this Sub -Lease shall be due at
the times specified herein; provided, however, that if Additional Rent is increased, the amount
of the increase shall first be due on the later of the twentieth (20th) day following notice of the
increase, or when the increase would otherwise be payable. Any monies other than rent
payable by Tenant under this Sub -Lease shall be due on the twentieth (20th) day following
Landlord's invoice therefor, unless this Sub -Lease provides a different time. All accrued rent
and other monies, if not paid when due, shall unless otherwise specified herein bear interest at
the lesser of eighteen percent (18%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by law. All
accrued rent and other monies, if not paid within ten (10) days of the due date, shall be subject
to a late fee of the greater of $50.00 or two percent (2%) of the delinquent payment, to cover
Landlord's costs of monitoring the delinquency.
ARTICLE 22. RIGHT OF ENTRY
As the space to the Demised Premises is entirely within Landlord's property originally
leased by Landlord from Property owner, Tenant shall permit Landlord, its agents and
contractors to enter the Dernised Premises at all times for any purpose, including (but not by
-9-
Page 298 of 430
way of limitation) the purpose of inspecting the same and making any necessary repairs,
alterations and improvements. Nothing herein shall imply any duty upon the part of Landlord
to do any repair, maintenance, inspection, or other work which, under any provision of this
Sub -Lease, Tenant may be required to perform; and the performance thereof by Landlord shall
not constitute a waiver of Tenant's nonperformance. Landlord will not unreasonably disturb
Tenant's business in the course of performing work on the Property, but Landlord will not be
liable for inconvenience, annoyance, disturbance, loss of business, or other damage to Tenant by
reason of making repairs or the performance of any other work in the Demised Premises which
this Sub -Lease requires or permits Landlord to perform, or on account of bringing materials,
supplies and equipment into or through the Demised Premises during the course thereof, and
the obligations of Tenant under this Sub -Lease shall not thereby be affected in any manner
whatsoever. Landlord reserves the right to enter upon the Demised Premises at any time for
any reason, and Tenant agrees to same.
ARTICLE 23. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING
Tenant shall not transfer or assign this Sub -Lease or sublet the Demised Premises or any
part thereof, whether by voluntary act, operation of law, or otherwise, without obtaining the
prior written consent of Landlord in each instance. Consent by Landlord to any assignment of
this Sub -Lease or to any subletting of the Demised Premises shall not be a waiver of Landlord's
rights under this Article as to any subsequent assignment or subletting. Landlord's rights to
assign this Sub -Lease are and shall remain unqualified. Unless Landlord agrees otherwise in
writing, no assignment or subletting by Tenant shall relieve Tenant from any of its obligations
under this Sub -Lease.
ARTICLE 24. SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT, NO'VATION
Tenant agrees to subordinate this Sub -Lease to any mortgage now or hereafter placed of
record, to attorn to any successor in interest of Landlord (including the mortgagee under any
such mortgage upon foreclosure or conveyance in lieu thereof), and to consent to a novation in
the event that Landlord conveys the Property to a third party; provided, however, that the
mortgagee, successor or third party shall agree that, upon obtaining or succeeding to Landlord's
interest, it will keep this Sub -Lease in effect and abide by its terms until such time as it may be
terminated in accord with its stated provisions. Tenant shall, within ten (10) business days of
any written request by Landlord, execute and deliver to Landlord an "estoppel certificate" in
any form reasonably designated by Landlord certifying that this Sub -Lease is in full force and
effect and that there are no offsets against rent nor defenses to Tenant's performance under this
Sub -Lease, or setting forth any such offsets or defenses claimed by Tenant, as the case may be,
and certifying such other information as Landlord reasonably requests.
ARTICLE 25. NOTICES
Notices required or permitted under this Sub -Lease must be in writing and will be
deemed sufficiently given if transmitted by overnight courier or first class, certified United

COVID-19 Provision. In the event of generally applicable governmental rules, laws,
regulations, or executive orders enacted for the purpose of reducing the spread of COVID-19
temporarily prohibit the operation of a business for the Permitted Use at the Premises during
the Initial Term (the "Temporary Prohibition Period"), and provided Tenant is not then in
default under this Sub -Lease, then the Base Rent accruing during such Temporary Prohibition
Period shall be deferred (with Base Rent during any partial calendar months during such period
to be appropriately prorated) until the earlier to occur of (i) six (b) months after the end of the
said Temporary Prohibition Period and (ii) the end of the Term. Tenant shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to promptly apply for any and all governmental assistance, whether in the
form of grants, loans, forgiveness, waivers, deferrals, or other economic stimulus benefits, that
both would reasonably be expected to benefit Tenant and may now or hereafter be available to
Tenant on account of or relating to the COVID-19 pandemic (collectively, "Stimulus Funds"),
with Tenant's failure to do so constituting a material default under the Sub -Lease. If Tenant
receives any Stimulus Funds or the economic benefits thereof, Tenant shall promptly, and in
any event within 30 days, first apply the same (or the economic benefit thereof) toward the
payment of the Base Rent deferred under this Section 58 to the extent permitted under
applicable law, and upon payment of such amount to Landlord, the amount of Base Rent
deferred under this Section 58 shall be reduced by the amount of the Stimulus Funds so paid to
Landlord. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 58, if any Event of Default
occurs prior to the repayment of all Base Rent deferred under this Section 58, then Tenant shall
not be entitled to any further Base Rent deferral hereunder and all Base Rent that has been
deferred will become immediately due and payable to Landlord. In consideration for the Base
Rent deferral provided herein, Tenant hereby waives any and all claims and defenses asserting:
(i) Tenant has the right to otherwise or further offset, defer, or abate any Rent due under this
Sub -Lease as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or any related prior, existing, or future
Federal, State, County, City or other local rules, regulations, Executive Orders or other
regulations or edicts; or (ii) that the COVID-19 pandemic or any related prior, existing, or future
Federal, State, County, City or other local rules, regulations, Executive Orders or other
regulations or edicts constitute or result in a frustration of purpose of the Sub -Lease or
otherwise entitle Tenant to terminate this Sub -Lease. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that as of
the Effective Date there are no generally applicable governmental rules, laws, regulations, or
executive orders that have been enacted for the purpose of reducing the spread of COVID-19
that would temporarily prohibit the operation of a business for the Permitted Use at the
Premises.
Counterparts. This Sub -Lease may be executed in several counterparts, each of which
will be deemed an original, and all of which together will constitute one and the same
instrument.
Effective Date. The Effective Date of this Sub -Lease will be the date set forth on the
signature page of this Sub -Lease.

OFAC Covenant. Tenant will ensure, and cause each of its subsidiaries to ensure, that (i)
no person who owns twenty percent (20%) or more of the equity interest in Tenant, or
otherwise controls Tenant or any of its subsidiaries, is or shall be listed on the Specially
Designated Nationals and Blocked Person List or other similar lists maintained by the OFAC,
the Department of the Treasury or included in any Executive Order.
Landlord's Right of Recapture upon Cessation of Operations. If Tenant ceases to operate
its business in the Premises for a period in excess of sixty (60) days (unless in connection with a
remodeling, condemnation, casualty, or Event of Force Majeure) (the "Dark Period"), in
addition to Landlord's other rights and remedies under this Sub -Lease, Landlord has the right,
but not the obligation, to terminate this Sub -Lease on the terms and conditions in this Section, at
no cost to Landlord (the "Recapture Right"). Landlord may exercise its Recapture Right any
time after said sixty (60) day Dark Period by providing written notice ("Landlord's Recapture
Notice"). This Sub -Lease will terminate as of the date which is thirty (30) days after the date on
which Tenant receives Landlord's Recapture Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord's
Recapture Right will be null and void and this Sub -Lease will continue in full force and effect in
the event that Tenant gives written notice to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of
Landlord's Recapture Notice that either Tenant or its permitted assignee or sublessee intends to
commence operations at the Premises and Tenant (or its permitted assignee or sublessee, as the
case may be) in fact commences operations at the Premises within sixty (60) days after receipt
by Tenant of Landlord's Recapture Notice.
Contingencies. Landlord's obligations under this Sub -Lease are contingent on
Landlord's receipt of any consent or approval required by Landlord's lender. Landlord will
diligently pursue its lender's consent and approval and will deliver Tenant notice of satisfaction
on or before the Rent Commencement Date.
Guaran . Tenant will deliver to Landlord along with an executed copy of this Sub -
Lease, a fully executed copy of the Lease Guaranty Agreement in form attached hereto as
Exhibit D, wherein Ben Jaremko (hereinafter referred to as "Guarantor") shall guaranty
Tenant's Sub -Lease obligations. Landlord shall not have any obligations under this Sub -Lease
unless and until said executed Lease Guaranty Agreement is delivered to Landlord, and it will
be an Event of Default if Tenant does not deliver the fully executed Lease Guaranty Agreement
along with the executed copy of this Sub -Lease.
Counterparts. This Sub -Lease may be executed in several counterparts, each of which
will be deemed an original, and all of which together will constitute one and the same
instrument.
Effective Date. The Effective Date of this Sub -Lease will be the date set forth on the
signature page of this Sub -Lease.
Radius Restriction. Tenant covenants and agrees that it shall not at any time during the
Term or any Option Term directly or indirectly, operate, manage or have any interest in any
other business which is in competition with a business operated for the Permitted Use within a
radius of three (3) miles of the Premises.

ARTICLE 28. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS
This Sub -Lease shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Landlord and
Tenant and upon their respective successors in interest and assigns.
ARTICLE 29. GENERAL PROVISIONS
No Liability of Partners of Landlord. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
Landlord and partners of Landlord, if any, are not and will not be personally liable for
performance of the covenants and agreements of Landlord herein contained, and the
enforcement of the remedies of Tenant in the event of default by Landlord will be strictly
limited to the equity interests of Landlord in the Project. If Landlord sells or assigns its interest
in the Project, Landlord will without further written agreement be freed and relieved of liability
under such covenants and obligations.
Joint and Several Liability. If, at any time, there is more than one person who is a Tenant
under this Sub -Lease, the Iiability for keeping and performing Tenant's obligations under this
Sub -Lease will be joint and several with respect to each such person or entity.
No Partnership. Landlord does not, in any way or for any purpose, become a partner of
Tenant in the conduct of Tenant's business, or otherwise, or become a joint venture, or a
member of a joint enterprise with Tenant, by virtue of this Sub -Lease.
Time of the Essence; Computation of Time. Time is of the essence for each and every
provision of this Sub -Lease. Whenever the last day for the exercise of any right or discharge of
any duty under this Sub -Lease will fall upon a Saturday, Sunday or any date on which banks in
Minnesota are closed, the party having such right or duty may exercise such right or discharge
such duty on the next succeeding day which is a regular business day.
Minnesota Law; Severability; Captions. This Sub -Lease will be governed by and
construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Minnesota, without giving effect
to any choice of law or conflicting provision or rule (whether of the State of Minnesota or any
other jurisdiction) that would cause the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of
Minnesota to be applied. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal laws of the State of
Minnesota control the interpretation and construction of this Sub -Lease, even if under such
jurisdiction's choice of law or other conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other
jurisdiction would ordinarily apply. Whenever possible, each provision of this Sub -Lease will
be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under such applicable laws, but, if
any provision of this Sub -Lease will be held prohibited or invalid under such applicable law,
such provisions will be effective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining portions of this Sub -Lease. The
captions, articles and underscored portions of this Sub -Lease are for convenience only and will
not be used in the interpretation of any of the provisions of this Sub -Lease.
Exhibits. Included and incorporated herein by reference are exhibits A through D, set
forth in the Schedule of Fundamental Sub -Lease Terms or otherwise stated in this Sub -Lease.
