Unless otherwise specifically noted, all terms and conditions set forth in this Lease shall be interpreted by reference to the following definitions, standards, and formulas:

A. Real Property Terms.

1. “ANSI/BOMA” is an acronym for American National Standards Institute/Building Owners and Managers Association.

2. “ANSI/BOMA Occupant Area” or “ABOA” means the measurement standard (Z65.1-2017) provided by ANSI/BOMA for Occupant Area, which is “the total aggregated area used by an Occupant before Load Factors are applied, consisting of Tenant Area and Tenant Ancillary Area.” The Method A – Multiple Load Factor Method shall apply.

3. “Common Area Factor (CAF)” means a conversion factor determined and applied by the building owner to determine the rentable square feet for the leased space. The CAF is expressed as a percentage of the difference between the amount of rentable square feet (SF) and ABOA SF, divided by the ABOA SF. The CAF shall be determined in accordance with the applicable ANSI/BOMA standard for the type of space to which the CAF shall apply.

4. “Rentable Space or Rentable Square Feet (RSF)” means the area for which a tenant is charged rent. It is determined by the building owner and may vary by city or by building within the same city. Rentable space may include a share of common areas such as elevator lobbies, building corridors, and floor service areas. Floor service areas typically include restrooms, janitor rooms, telephone closets, electrical closets, and mechanical rooms. Rentable space does not include vertical building penetrations and their enclosing walls, such as stairs, elevator shafts, and vertical ducts. To determine the RSF, the ABOA SF is multiplied by the sum of one (1) plus the CAF, for each type of space included in the premises.

5. “Space” means that part of the premises to which the Government has exclusive use, such as occupant area, or other types of space.

Appurtenant areas (e.g., parking areas) to which the Government has rights under the lease are not included in the space.

5.07 IDENTITY VERIFICATION OF PERSONNEL (OCT 2022)

A. The Government reserves the right to verify identities of personnel with routine and/or unaccompanied access to the Government's Space, including both pre and post occupancy periods. The Lessor shall comply with GSA personal identity verification requirements, identified in the GSA Order 2181.1 GSA HSPD-12 Personal Identity Verification and Credentialing Handbook. The Lessor can find the policy and additional information at HTTP://WWW.GSA.GOV/HSPD12. This policy requires the Government to conduct background investigations and make HSPD- 12 compliant suitability determinations for all persons with routine or unaccompanied access to Government leased Space. By definition, this includes at a minimum each employee of the Lessor, as well as employees of the Lessor's contractors or subcontractors who will provide building operating services requiring routine access to the Government’s leased Space for a period greater than 6 months. The Government may also require this information for the Lessor's employees, contractors, or subcontractors who will be engaged to perform alterations or emergency repairs in the Government’s Space.

B. Application Process: The background investigation will be done using the Government's prescribed process. The Lessor must provide information on each of their contractor/personnel meeting the above criteria to the Government, whereupon each identified contractor/personnel will be notified with instructions for completing the identity verification application within a given time frame. The application process will include completing supplemental information forms that must be inputted into the identity verification system in order for the application to be considered complete. Additionally, the Lessor must ensure prompt completion of the fingerprint process for their contractor/personnel. Email notifications will be sent with instructions on the steps to be taken to schedule an appointment for fingerprinting at an approved regional location along with instructions on how to complete the background investigation application.

C. The Lessor must ensure the Lease Contracting Officer (or the Lease Contracting Officer's designated representative) has all of the requested documentation timely to ensure the completion of the investigation.

D. Based on the information furnished, the Government will conduct background investigations. The Lease Contracting Officer will advise the Lessor in writing if a person fails the investigation, and, effective immediately, that person will no longer be allowed to work or be assigned to work in the Government’s Space.

E. Throughout the life of the Lease, the Lessor shall provide the same data for any new employees, contractors, or subcontractors who will be assigned to the Government’s Space in accordance with the above criteria. All Lessor's contractor(s) and subcontractor(s) shall follow the requirements of background investigation in accordance with GSA HSPD-12 policy.

F. The Lessor is accountable for not allowing contractors to start work without the successful completion of the appropriate background investigation as required by GSA policy.

G. Access Card Retrieval/Return: Upon an Entry on Duty notification, the Government will issue a Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credential that is sometimes referred to as a GSA Access card. Lessors are responsible for all PIV credential issued to their contractors/personnel pursuant to this Lease. Lessors are specifically responsible for ensuring that all GSA PIV access cards are returned to the Lease Contracting Officer or their designee whenever their employees or a contractor no longer require access to the Space (such as when no longer needed for contract performance, upon completion of the Contractor employee’s employment, and upon contract completion or termination). Additionally, the Lessor must notify the Lease Contracting Officer or their designee whenever a GSA PIV Access card is lost or stolen in which event the Lessor may be responsible for reimbursing the Government for replacement credentials at the current cost per PIV HSPD12 credential. Unreturned PIV Access cards will be considered as lost or stolen cards.

H. The Government reserves the right to conduct additional background checks on Lessor personnel and contractors with routine access to

Government leased Space throughout the term of the Lease to determine who may have access to the Premises.

I. The Lease Contracting Officer may delay final payment under a contract if the Contractor fails to comply with these requirements.

LEASE NO. GS-XXP-LXXXXXXX, PAGE 12 LESSOR: ________ GOVERNMENT: ________ SUPPLEMENTAL LEASE

5.08 RANDOLPH-SHEPPARD COMPLIANCE (SMALL) (SEP 2015)

The Government may provide vending machines within the Government's leased area under the provisions of the Randolph-Sheppard Act (20 USC 107

et. seq.). During the term of the Lease, the Lessor may not establish vending facilities within the leased Space that will compete with any Randolph- Sheppard vending facilities.

5.09 INDOOR AIR QUALITY (OCT 2024)

A. The Lessor shall control airborne contaminants at the source and/or operate the Space in such a manner that indoor air quality action limits identified in the PBS Desk Guide for Indoor Air Quality Management (Companion to GSA Order PBS 1000.8), OSHA regulatory limits, and generally accepted consensus standards are not exceeded.

B. The Lessor shall avoid the use of products containing toxic, hazardous, carcinogenic, flammable, or corrosive ingredients as determined from the product label or manufacturer’s safety data sheet. The Lessor shall use available odor-free or low odor products when applying paints, glues, lubricants, and similar wet products. When such equivalent products are not available, lessor shall use the alternate products outside normal working hours. Except in an emergency, the Lessor shall provide at least 72 hours advance notice to the Government before applying chemicals or products with noticeable odors in occupied Spaces and shall adequately ventilate those Spaces during and after application.

C. The Lessor shall serve as first responder to any occupant complaints about indoor air quality (IAQ). The Lessor shall promptly investigate such complaints and implement the necessary controls to address each complaint. Investigations shall include testing as needed by a board-certified industrial hygienist, to ascertain the source and severity of the complaint. The hygienist shall inspect and evaluate the Space and air zones serving the Space; inspection shall take place as soon as possible but no later than 15 calendar days following the identification of a potential IAQ issue. Notwithstanding the above, when a board-certified industrial hygienist is not available to perform this inspection, the Lessor may, upon written request and the Government’s approval, employ an environmental professional with documented experience performing IAQ assessments. The Lessor shall provide written results of any testing along with recommendations to GSA.

D. The Government reserves the right to conduct independent IAQ assessments and detailed studies in Space that it occupies, as well as in space serving the Space (e.g., common use areas, mechanical rooms, HVAC systems, etc.). The Lessor shall assist the Government in its assessments and detailed studies by:

1. Making available information on Building operations and Lessor activities;

2. Providing access to Space for assessment and testing, if required; and

3. Implementing corrective measures required by the LCO. The Lessor shall take corrective action to correct any tests or measurements that do not meet GSA policy action limits in the PBS Desk Guide for Indoor Air Quality Management (Companion to GSA Order PBS 1000.8), OSHA regulatory limits, and generally accepted consensus standards.

E. The Lessor shall provide to the Government safety data sheets (SDS) upon request for the following products prior to their use during the term of the Lease: adhesives, caulking, sealants, insulating materials, fireproofing or firestopping materials, paints, carpets, floor, and wall patching or leveling materials, lubricants, clear finish for wood surfaces, janitorial cleaning products, pesticides, rodenticides, and herbicides. The Government reserves the right to review such products used by the Lessor within the Space, common building areas, ventilation systems and zones serving the Space, and the area above suspended ceilings and engineering space in the same ventilation zone as the Space.

A. The Lessor shall use high efficiency (HEPA) filtration vacuums for cleaning.

B. Air handling units shall have the highest-level MERV filtration that is compatible with the HVAC system and does not significantly diminish airflow.

Upon request, the Lessor shall provide to the Government a list of the highest-level of MERV filtration that each air handling unit is designed to handle.

H. The Lessor is encouraged to comply with best practices outlined in Appendix D- Indoor Air Quality in GSA Leased Facilities (Best Practices) within the PBS Desk Guide for Indoor Air Quality Management (Companion to GSA Order PBS 1000.8).

5.10 RADON IN AIR (OCT 2023)

A. The radon concentration in the air of the Space shall be less than 4 picoCuries per liter (pCi/L) for childcare and 25 pCi/L for all other space, herein called “GSA action levels.” For further information on radon, go to HTTP://WWW.EPA.GOV/RADON.

B. Testing Procedures. For the purposes of this paragraph, the following testing procedures shall be used when space planned for occupancy by the Government is located at or below grade level:

1. Standard Test. Place alpha track detectors throughout the required area for 91 or more days so that each covers no more than 2,000 ABOA SF. Use only devices and laboratories listed in the National Radon Proficiency Program (NRPP), National Radon Safety Board (NRSB) or as required by local jurisdictions that have a program for evaluating and approving devices. Submit the results and supporting data (sample location, device type, duration, radon measurements, laboratory proficiency certification number, and the signature of a responsible laboratory official) within 30 days after the measurement.

LEASE NO. GS-XXP-LXXXXXXX, PAGE 13 LESSOR: ________ GOVERNMENT: ________ SUPPLEMENTAL LEASE

2. Short Test. Place alpha track detectors for at least 14 days, or charcoal canisters for 2 days to 3 days, throughout the required area so that each covers no more than 2,000 ABOA SF, starting not later than 7 days after award. Use only devices and laboratories listed in the National Radon Proficiency Program (NRPP), National Radon Safety Board (NRSB) or as required by local jurisdictions that have a program for evaluating and approving devices. Submit the results and supporting data within 30 days after the measurement. In addition, complete the standard test not later than 150 days after Government occupancy.

1. The Lessor shall:

a. Test for radon any portion of Space planned for occupancy by the Government at or below grade level;

b. Report the results to the LCO upon award; and

c. Promptly carry out a corrective action program for any radon concentration which equals or exceeds the GSA action levels.

2. Testing sequence. The Lessor shall measure radon by the standard test in sub-paragraph B.1, completing the test not later than 150 days after award, unless the LCO decides that there is not enough time to complete the test before Government occupancy, in which case the Lessor shall perform the short test in sub-paragraph B.2, in addition to the standard test.

3. If the Space offered for Lease to the Government is in a Building under construction or proposed for construction, the Lessor, if possible, shall perform the standard test during buildout before Government occupancy of the Space. If the LCO decides that it is not possible to complete the standard test before occupancy, the Lessor shall complete the short test before occupancy and the standard test not later than 150 days after occupancy.

D. Additional Testing.

1. After a major disturbance (e.g., earthquake, road construction, seismic shift, etc.) or a construction or renovation project that could impact radon gas levels in the building (e.g., building foundation, subsurface plumbing, basement structure, or negative changes to the building air pressure, etc.), the Lessor shall:

a. Re-Test for radon that portion of Space occupied by the Government at or below grade level;

b. Report the results to the LCO; and

c. Promptly carry out a corrective action program for any radon concentration which equals or exceeds the GSA action levels.

2. Testing Sequence. The Lessor shall measure radon by the standard test outlined in paragraph B.1, completing the test not later than

150 days after the event outlined in D.1.

E. Corrective Action Program.

1. Program Initiation and Procedures.

a. If either the Government or the Lessor detects radon at or above the GSA action levels at any time before Government occupancy, the Lessor shall carry out a corrective action program which reduces the concentration to below the GSA action levels before Government occupancy.

b. If either the Government or the Lessor detects a radon concentration at or above the GSA action levels at any time after

Government occupancy, the Lessor shall promptly carry out a corrective action program which reduces the concentration to below the GSA action levels.

c. If either the Government or the Lessor detects a radon concentration at or above the GSA action levels at any time after

Government occupancy, the Lessor shall promptly restrict the use of the affected area and shall provide comparable temporary space for the tenants, as agreed to by the Government, until the Lessor carries out a prompt corrective action program which reduces the concentration to below the GSA action levels and certifies the Space for re-occupancy.

d. The Lessor shall provide the Government with prior written notice of any proposed corrective action or tenant relocation. The

Lessor shall promptly revise the corrective action program upon any change in Building condition or operation which would affect the program or increase the radon concentration to or above the GSA action levels.

2. The Lessor shall perform the standard test in sub-paragraph B to assess the effectiveness of a corrective action program. The Lessor may also perform the short test in sub-paragraph B to determine whether the Space may be occupied but shall begin the standard test concurrently with the short test.

3. All measures to accommodate delay of occupancy, corrective action, tenant relocation, tenant re-occupancy, or follow-up measurement, shall be provided by the Lessor at no additional cost to the Government.

4. If the Lessor fails to exercise due diligence or is otherwise unable to reduce the radon concentration promptly to below the GSA action levels, the Government may implement a corrective action program and deduct its costs from the rent.
