A.RECITALS
1.On 28 March 2017, the Landlord and the Tenant entered into a lease, which is an integral part of this Supplementary Agreement (Annex ./1; hereinafter referred to as the “Lease”) relating to the Lease Object specified in more detail in Clause I. of the Lease (office and commercial building at the property address 4020 Linz, Am Fünfundzwanziger Turm 20).
The Tenant now requires additional office premises in Linz. The Landlord and the Tenant therefore agree to extend the building (the Lease Object) by adding the extension (hereinafter the “Extension”) described in Annex ./2, which forms an integral part of this Supplementary Agreement. With a view to realising the Extension, the Landlord has already acquired, in a sale and purchase agreement of 2 June 2021, plots nos. 1172/4, 1172/16, 1174/42, each currently located within property folio number [EZ] 1673, registered in the land register for 45204 Lustenau, as well as, in a sale and purchase agreement of 16 November 2022, plot no. 1174/48, currently located within EZ 1451, registered in the land register for 45204 Lustenau; in addition, it will be necessary to acquire plot no. 1154/4, currently located within EZ 541, registered in the land register for 45204 Lustenau, from the City of Linz (hereinafter referred to as “Road”). Plots nos. 1172/4, 1172/16, 1174/42, 1174/48 and 1154/4 shall hereinafter be jointly referred to as “Extension Plots”. The Extension Plots shall subsequently be registered under EZ 1671 in the land register for 45204 Lustenau to form a single building site.
2.The additions and/or amendments to the Lease made necessary by the extension of the Lease Object are regulated in this Supplementary Agreement (Clause B). Amendments and/or additions to the original contract text are shown underlined and in Italics, text parts that have been deleted in their entirety are shown as struck-through. All other provisions of the Lease which are not affected by the Supplementary Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall be applicable to the Lease now including the Extension. For the avoidance of doubt, the definitions of terms set out in the Lease shall equally apply to this Supplementary Agreement.
3.It is noted further that the building will, after the structural enlargement described herein, continue to form a single stand-alone structure together with the Extension, which was/will be erected specifically for the Tenant and to the Tenant’s specifications and apart from which there are no further premises amenable to being leased separately and on their own.
FINAL VERSION 29 March 2023
For this reason, the Lease does not fall within the scope of applicability of the Austrian Tenancy Act [Mietrechtsgesetz/MRG].

The Landlord undertakes to carry out repair work as promptly and smoothly as possible, with special consideration for the Tenant’s ongoing business operations. It shall be agreed that the heating and cooling system cannot be definitively adjusted for seasonal conditions during ongoing operation before the first full year of use has been completed and that the Tenant will therefore not assert any claims for rent reduction based on adjustment work to the heating and cooling system during that time.”

Regarding all building modifications and fixtures contained in this Agreement including its Annexes as well as the actual standard at the time of handover, explicit consent by the Landlord shall be deemed given. There shall not be any obligation for the Tenant to dismantle or deconstruct any items already built in at the time of handover.
The Tenant shall have the right to facilitate final configuration of the lease object at various stages and step-by-step over the course of the lease agreement, as long as they are not to be facilitated by the Landlord and no additional costs for the Landlord arise.

The Landlord shall have the right to submit such request to the Tenant three months prior to the expiry of the first guarantee. This procedure shall be adhered to for any further expiring bank guarantee for as long as the Lease is in effect so that the Landlord shall have a security as set out in this provision throughout the entire term of the Agreement.”
22.XII. SECURITY: “Paragraph (4)” shall be amended so that Clause XII. (4) shall read as follows:
“(4) If the Tenant’s actions induce the Landlord to make use of the deposit, the Tenant must replenish it, at the Landlord’s request, within no longer than 14 days in the form of a cash deposit or present to the Landlord a new bank guarantee in the

23.XII. SECURITY: “Paragraph (6)” shall be amended so that Clause XII. (6) shall read as follows:
“(6) The Tenant shall present to the Landlord a bank guarantee for USD 11,300,000 for the purpose of securing all claims the Landlord may have against the Tenant under this Agreement.

Irrespective of the above, the Tenant shall present, at the Landlord’s first demand, an enforceable guarantee, unlimited in time, issued by the Tenant‘s parent company for the same purpose in the same amount in USD if the figures in the Tenant's most recent audited annual financial statements fall below the thresholds stated below or one of the events stated below occurs, failing which the Landlord shall have the right to terminate the lease immediately for cause (Clause II.

The Tenant shall be under the obligation to present to the Landlord audited annual financial statements every year no later than nine months after the balance sheet date. If these annual financial statements are not presented in spite of a grace period of one month having been set, the respective figures shall be deemed to have fallen short of the thresholds defined above. In the event that these thresholds are met or complied with again in two consecutive years, the guarantee shall be returned to the Tenant. The Landlord shall be under the obligation to return said guarantee to the Tenant no later than when all leases the guarantee is designed to secure have ended and the Lease Objects have been properly handed back to the Landlord and provided that the Landlord has no unsettled or disputed claims for amounts receivable against the Tenant.”
24.“XVII. Right of rescission” shall be deleted in its entirety.

(4)The Parties mutually declare their willingness to accept the Agreement in respect of the amendments agreed in this subclause B.
C.TRANSITIONAL PROVISIONS
1.The coming into legal effect of the ADDITIONS / AMENDMENTS made under B. shall be subject to the conditions precedent that
all the zoning decisions and official permits and approvals necessary for erecting the Extension will have been obtained with final legal effect; and
plot no. 1154/4, located within EZ 541, registered in the land register for 45204 Lustenau, Linz district court, will have been acquired by the Landlord for no consideration from the City of Linz.
2.Should these conditions precedent not have been fulfilled by 30 September 2023 at the latest, this Supplementary Agreement shall become null and void. In such an event, the Landlord undertakes to refund to the Tenant, by 15 October 2023, half of the stamp duties paid for setting up this Supplementary Agreement under the Austrian Fees Act [Gebührengesetz]. Should the condition precedent as set out in Clause C. (1), second indent, have been fulfilled in due time, the Landlord shall have the right to waive, by means of a unilateral declaration made prior to 30 September 2023, compliance with the condition precedent as set out in Clause C. (1), first indent, thereby making this Agreement come into legal effect.
3.Unless non-compliance with the conditions precedent as set out in paragraph 1 is attributable to gross fault on the part of one of the Parties, each Party shall bear the cost incurred by it up to such date (with the exception of stamp duties). In such an event, the Parties shall also waive the right to assert claims for damages and/or other legal claims against one another.
4.The Tenant shall have the right to withdraw from this Supplementary Agreement by no later than 31 March 2023 giving notice thereof to the Landlord in writing (by registered letter or personal delivery), such declaration of will being unilateral and requiring no reasons to be stated.

In such an event, the Tenant undertakes to make a flat-rate compensatory payment of EUR 500,000 (in words: EURO five-hundred-thousand) within 21 days of having giving notice of withdrawal within the respective notice period, the bank guarantee of USD 11,300,000 explicitly serving as security for this payment obligation.
5.The Landlord shall make every effort to carry out the construction work for erecting the Extension with as little impact as possible on the existing lease and in close and mutual coordination with the Tenant. The necessary creation of openings in the existing building shall be carried out in stages. The Landlord shall, if so requested, inform the Tenant at regular intervals about the progress of the construction project and the current state of planning. However, irrespective of the above, the Tenant shall waive the right to claim, or apply, a rent reduction based on or in connection with the implementation (or resulting therefrom) of the construction measures described in more detail in this Supplementary Agreement, on any grounds whatsoever (including, without limitation, temporary or
