D. The percentage of Lessee's share of the County's costs is the proportional share of square footage of the premises rented by Lessee (1,235 square feet) to the rentable square footage of the entire Building (14,824 square feet), being 7.70% of the rentable area of the entire Building, (referred to as "pro-rata share").

If the Actual Statement reveals Lessee’s Share of the actual Common Area Expenses is less than the additional rent paid by Lessee for Common Area Expenses on account of the calendar year in which this Lease terminates, the County shall credit any overpayment toward the next monthly installment(s) of Lessee's share of the Common Area Expenses due under any extension of this Lease or promptly rebate Lessee after the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease.

If Lessee does not object to any Estimate Statement or Actual Statement within thirty (30) days after Lessee receives any such statement, such statement shall be deemed final and binding on Lessee.

Except as provided herein, if Lessee shall purport to assign or encumber this Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Leased Premises or permit any person or persons other than Lessee to occupy the Leased Premises, County may collect rent from the person or persons then occupying the Leased Premises and apply the net amount collected to the rent reserved herein, but no such collection shall be deemed a waiver of this Article XI or the acceptance by County of such purported assignees of Lessee or occupant, or release of the Lessee of the further performance of Lessee of covenants on the part of Lessee herein contained. ARTICLE XII: Access to Leased Premises 12 A. County and its authorized representative shall have the right to enter upon the Leased Premises at all reasonable hours (and in emergencies at all times) to inspect the same, make repairs, additions or alterations to the Leased Premises and for any lawful purpose. County agrees to provide Lessee with reasonable notice whenever it deems it necessary to enter upon the Leased Premises. B. For a period commencing ninety (90) days prior to the end of the lease term, County may have reasonable access to the Leased Premises for the purpose of exhibiting the same to prospective Lessees and to post any usual "For Lease" signs upon the Leased Premises. ARTICLE XIII: Destruction of Leased Premises If the Leased Premises shall be damaged by fire or other casualty, County shall, in County's sole judgment reasonably exercised, determine the length of time required to restore and repair the Leased Premises to tenantable condition, and shall notify Lessee of such determination within ten (10) days after the occurrence of such fire or other casualty. If it is determined that the Leased Premises cannot be restored to tenantable condition within thirty (30) days, then either County or Lessee may terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination to the other within ten (10) days after County shall have notified Lessee of the time required for such restoration. If neither party shall so terminate this Lease, or if the Leased Premises can be restored to tenantable condition within 30 days, then County shall, at County's own expense, restore and repair the same to tenantable condition as speedily as possible and the rent shall be abated, in whole or in part, according to the portion of the Leased Premises rendered un-tenantable during the period of such restoration and repair; except that there shall be no abatement of rent if such fire or other casualty shall be caused by the acts or neglects of Lessee, or Lessee's agents, employees, invitees, or licensees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, County shall have no obligation to restore or repair any fixtures or other improvements placed upon the Leased Premises by Lessee and Lessee shall have the sole obligation to repair and restore such items. In the event that the Building shall be so damaged by fire or other casualty that demolition or substantial reconstruction is required (whether or not the Leased Premises be affected thereby), then County may terminate this Lease by giving Lessee written notice of such termination within 30 days after the date of such damage. ARTICLE XIV: Eminent Domain A. If title to all of the Leased Premises or so much thereof be taken by any public or quasi-public use under any statute or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof, so that a reasonable amount of reconstruction of the Leased Premises will not result in the Leased Premises being a practical improvement and reasonably suitable for Lessee's continued occupancy for the uses and purposes for which the premises are leased, this lease shall terminate as of the date that possession of said premises, or part thereof, be taken. B. If any part of the Leased Premises shall be so taken and the remaining part thereof (after reconstruction of the then existing building in which the Leased Premises are located) is reasonably suitable for Lessee's continued occupancy for the purposes and uses for which the premises are leased, this lease shall, as to the part so taken, terminate as of the date that possession of such part of the Leased Premises be so taken and the fixed rent shall be reduced 13 in the same proportion that the floor area of the portion of the Leased Premises so taken (less any additions thereto by reason of any reconstruction) bears to the original floor area of the Leased Premises, and County shall, at its own cost and expense, make all necessary repairs or alterations to the building in which the Leased Premises are located so as to constitute the portion of the building not taken a complete architectural unit and the remaining Leased Premises a complete merchandising unit, but such work shall not exceed the scope of the work to be done in originally constructing said Building. There shall be no abatement of rent during such restoration except to the extent otherwise provided in this paragraph. C. All compensation awarded or paid upon such a total or partial taking of the fee of the Leased Premises shall belong to and be the property of the County; provided, however, that County shall not be entitled to any award made to Lessee for loss of business, depreciation to, and cost of removal of stock and fixtures. D. Each party agrees to execute and deliver to the other all instruments that may be required to effectuate the provisions thereof. ARTICLE XV: Default A. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an event of default: i. Delinquency by the Lessee in payment of any rent under this Lease for a period of ten (10) days from the date such rent became due and payable. ii. Delinquency by the Lessee in the performance of or compliance with any of the other obligations of Lessee contained in this Lease, for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from County to Lessee. iii. Filing by or against the Lessee in any court pursuant to any statute either of the United States or of any state, of a petition of bankruptcy or insolvency, or for reorganization, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, of all or a portion of the Lessee's property, if within ninety (90) days after the commencement of any such proceedings involving the Lessee such petition shall not have been dismissed. B. In the event of default in non-payment of rent as defined in Paragraph A (i) above, this Lease shall automatically terminate on the date specified in the County's three (3) day notice for payment of rent or surrender of possession of the Leased Premises under Section 13-40-104(d) (1973 C.R.S.), if Lessee fails to pay such rent as demanded in said notice. To avoid potential forfeiture on account of clerical error or oversight, Lessee shall have the right to require the County to deliver a copy of any such notice to the President of a banking institution in Carbondale, Colorado, or to another responsible person in Carbondale, Colorado, to permit Lessee to arrange for payment of such rent within said three (3) day period. If notice of the identity and address of such bank or person shall be specified in writing by Lessee under the circumstances described in Paragraphs A(ii) and A(iii) above, this Lease shall automatically terminate on the date specified in County's three (3) days’ notice to such bank or person under Section 13-40-104(e) (1973 C.R.S.). C. Upon the termination of this Lease pursuant to the preceding subparagraph, the Lessee shall 14 peacefully surrender the Leased Premises to the County, and the County upon or at any time after any such termination, may, without further notice, enter the Leased Premises and repossess it by force, summary proceedings, ejectment or otherwise, and may dispossess the Lessee and remove the Lessee and all other persons and property from the Leased Premises, and may have, hold, and enjoy the Leased Premises and the right to receive all rental income therefrom. D. At any time after such termination, the County may relet the Leased Premises or any part thereof, in the name of the County or otherwise for such term (which may be greater or less than the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this Lease) and on such conditions as the County, in the County's absolute discretion, may determine and may collect and receive the rents therefore. The County shall in no way be responsible or liable for any failure to collect any rent due upon such reletting. E. No such termination of this Lease shall relieve the Lessee's liability and obligations under this Lease, and such liability and obligations shall survive any such termination. In the event of any such termination, the Lessee shall pay to the County the rent required to be paid by the Lessee up to the time of such termination, and thereafter the Lessee, until the end of what would have been the term of this Lease in the absence of such termination, shall be liable to the County for, and shall pay to the County as and for liquidated and agreed damages for the Lessee's default the following: i. The equivalent of the amount of the rent which would be payable under this Lease by the Lessee if the Lease were still in effect, less ii. The net proceeds of any reletting effected pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph, after deducting all of the County's expenses, all reasonable repossession costs, brokerage commission, legal expenses, attorney's fees, costs and expenses of preparation for such reletting. F. Should Lessee be dispossessed of the Leased Premises by operation of law or otherwise, any personal property belonging to Lessee left on the Leased Premises shall, at the County's sole option, be deemed to be abandoned to the County, or County may store such property in Lessee's name and at Lessee's expense without notice to Lessee. G. In the event of default by County, the Lessee shall have all rights and remedies available at law or in equity. ARTICLE XVI: County's Lien None ARTICLE XVII: Covenant of Quiet Enjoyment So long as the Lessee is not in default hereunder during the base term hereof and any renewal or extension hereof, the County covenants that the Lessee shall peaceably and quietly occupy and enjoy the Leased Premises subject to the terms hereof. The County warrants and agrees to defend the title to the Leased Premises, and further warrants that it has full authority to execute this Lease. ARTICLE XVIII: Accord and Satisfaction 15 No payment by Lessee or receipt by County of a lesser amount than the rent herein provided shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest amount due and payable hereunder, nor shall the endorsement or statement accompanying any check or payment required hereunder be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and County may accept any such check or payment without a prejudice to the County recovering the balance of such amounts due hereunder or pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease. ARTICLE XIX: Waiver One or more waivers of any covenant or condition by County shall not be construed as a waiver of a subsequent breach of the same or any other covenant or condition, and the consent or approval by County to or of any act by Lessee requiring County's consent, or approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary County's consent or approval to or of any subsequent similar act by Lessee. The subsequent acceptance of rent hereunder by County shall not constitute a waiver of any preceding breach by Lessee of any term, covenant, or condition of this Lease other than the failure of Lessee to pay the particular rental so accepted, regardless of County's knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rent. No waiver of any provision of this Lease shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the County. ARTICLE XX: Holding Over If Lessee should remain in possession of the Leased Premises after the expiration or other termination of the lease term and without executing a new lease, then such holding over shall be construed as a tenancy from month to month, at one hundred ten percent (110%) of the previous rent, and subject to all the conditions, provisions and obligations of this Lease insofar as the same are applicable to a month to month tenancy. ARTICLE XXI: Surrender of Leased Premises; Treatment of Lessee's Alterations at Expiration of Lease All alterations, additions, improvements, partitions, flooring, carpeting or fixtures, including but not limited to light fixtures, electrical fixtures, and plumbing fixtures, which may be made or installed by either of the parties hereto upon the Leased Premises and which in any manner are attached to the floors, walls, windows, or ceilings (excepting coolers, compressors, cash registers, computers or other mechanical equipment installed by Lessee) shall be the property of the County upon the expiration or other termination of this Lease, unless County shall elect otherwise. In the event the County shall so elect, such alterations, installations, additions or improvements made by Lessee upon the Leased premises as the County shall so elect shall be removed by the Lessee and Lessee shall restore the Leased Premises to its original condition at the commencement hereof normal wear and tear excepted, at its own costs and expense prior to the expiration or termination of the term thereof; or if the Lessee fails to do so, County, in addition to all of its other rights and remedies hereunder, may do so at the Lessee's expense. Also, at the expiration or other termination of the lease term, Lessee shall remove all of his movable trade fixtures which shall not be property of the County under the foregoing provisions of this paragraph. The Lessee's obligations to perform the covenants contained in this Paragraph of this Lease shall survive the expiration or other 16 termination of this Lease. ARTICLE XXII: Signs, Displays, and Other Advertising Media Lessee shall not erect or install any other exterior or interior window or door signs, advertising media, window or door lettering, or placards without County's written consent. The cost shall be the Lessee's sole expense. Lessee agrees not to use any advertising media that shall be deemed objectionable to County or other Lessees, such as loudspeakers, phonographs, or radio broadcasts in a manner to be heard outside the Leased Premises. Lessee shall not install any exterior lighting, decoration, painting, or awning or make any changes to the exterior of the Leased Premises without County's written consent. There shall be no newspaper sales dispensers or other vending machines on the exterior of the Leased Premises. All signs must comply with the Town of Basalt P.U.D. regulations.

WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant have entered into or propose to enter into the lease to which this Rider is attached (the “Lease”), pursuant to which Tenant will occupy that certain premises located at 123 Emma Road, Suite 100, Basalt, Colorado 81621 (the “Premises”) for the purpose of operating a Subway® restaurant (“Restaurant”); and WHEREAS, Tenant has executed or intends to execute a franchise agreement (“Franchise Agreement”) with Franchisor governing the operation of the Restaurant. As a requirement of the Franchise Agreement, the Lease must include this Rider. NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Franchisor, Landlord and Tenant agree as follows: 1. Franchisor’s Notice & Cure Rights. Landlord shall send to Franchisor a copy of any default notice given to Tenant under the Lease (concurrently with the default notice given to Tenant) as a prerequisite to exercising any remedy against Tenant to terminate the Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises. Franchisor shall have the right (but not the obligation) to cure any default specified in such notice, and Landlord shall not terminate the Lease or Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises if Franchisor cures the default within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from Landlord of Tenant’s default (the “Cure Period”); provided, however, that if the default cannot with diligence be cured by Franchisor within the Cure Period, the commencement of action by Franchisor to remedy the default within the Cure Period shall extend the Cure Period for an amount of time reasonable under the circumstances to effectuate the cure. Landlord acknowledges and agrees that by curing Tenant’s default, Franchisor does not assume, and Landlord shall not hold it responsible for, any liabilities of Tenant unless Franchisor assumes the Lease as provided in Section 3(A) below. Landlord further agrees to send to Franchisor copies of all other letters or notices sent to Tenant with respect to the Lease at the same time the letters or notices are sent to Tenant. Franchisor shall have the right, but not the obligation, during the cure period provided above and/or the time period allowed for Tenant to exercise any extension or renewal option, to assume the Lease and exercise the applicable extension or renewal option. 2. Franchisor’s Right of Entry. Franchisor will have the right, without being guilty of trespass or any other crime or tort, to enter the Premises at any time or from time to time (i) to make any modification or alteration it considers necessary to protect the Subway® system and marks, (ii) to cure any default under the Franchise Agreement or under the Lease, (iii) to remove personal property from the Premises that Franchisor or its affiliates owns or has a security interest in, or Docusign Envelope ID: 6DCEDB9F-0780-8A6C-831C-847083D72709 QB\66367845.6 2 (iv) to remove the distinctive elements of the Subway® trade dress upon the Franchise Agreement's expiration or termination. Neither Franchisor nor Landlord will be responsible to Tenant for any damages Tenant might sustain as a result of action Franchisor takes in accordance with this provision. Franchisor will repair or reimburse Landlord for the cost of any damage to the Premises' walls, floor or ceiling that result from Franchisor's removal of trade dress items and other property from the Premises. 3. Assignment. A. Upon (i) expiration or termination of the Franchise Agreement or cessation of the operation of a Subway® restaurant at the Premises, (ii) commencement of eviction or termination proceedings by Landlord against Tenant, or (iii) Tenant’s failure to exercise an extension or renewal option granted under the Lease, Franchisor (or its affiliate or assignee) shall have the right to assume Tenant’s rights and obligations under the Lease by providing Landlord and Tenant with notice of such assumption. After receiving possession of the Premises, the assuming party shall be required to pay any delinquent rent or other sums owed under the Lease and shall begin to cure any other defaults susceptible to cure by the assuming party under the Lease. Subject to the satisfaction of the obligations in the Lease and this Rider, Landlord hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to such assumption for operation of a Subway® restaurant at the Premises. B. If the Lease is assumed by Franchisor as set forth in Section 3(A) above, the assuming party shall have the right to assign the Lease or sublet the Premises for operation of a Subway® restaurant to a licensee or franchisee duly approved by Franchisor and meeting the franchise requirements of Franchisor as of the date thereof, subject to Landlord’s prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld, and without the imposition of an assignment fee or similar charge. The assuming party shall remain liable under the Lease notwithstanding such assignment or sublease unless Landlord’s prior written consent to the assignment or sublease is received. C. If the Lease is assumed as set forth in Section 3(A) above, any provision in the Lease requiring Tenant to continuously operate a business at the Premises shall be suspended for one hundred twenty (120) days so that Franchisor can identify a franchisee to operate a Subway® restaurant at the Premises as contemplated in Section 3(B). D. Tenant may not assign the Lease or sublet the Premises without Franchisor’s prior written consent, and Landlord will not consent to an assignment or subletting by Tenant without first verifying that Franchisor has given its written consent to Tenant's proposed assignment or subletting. 4. Confidentiality. Landlord acknowledges that all information obtained by Landlord or Landlord’s agents, officers, employees or directors (collectively, “Landlord Parties”) relating to the unique and distinctive features of Tenant’s or Franchisor’s plans and specifications, business and operating methods, and any financial data relating to Tenant or Franchisor (collectively, “Confidential Information”) are of a confidential nature. Landlord shall ensure that no Confidential Information is used or disclosed by any of the Landlord Parties except as may be Docusign Envelope ID: 6DCEDB9F-0780-8A6C-831C-847083D72709 QB\66367845.6 3 required by a court of law. Landlord shall not issue any press release or other public disclosure using the name, logo, or otherwise referring to Franchisor or any of its affiliates, and shall not permit any of the Landlord Parties or Landlord’s broker, press agent or other party to do so, without the prior written consent of Franchisor. 5. Use of the Premises. During the term of the Franchise Agreement, Tenant will be permitted to use the Premises for the operation of a Subway® restaurant (together with any third-party add- on concept permitted under the Franchise Agreement) and for no other purpose. 6. Signage and Marks. Subject to applicable zoning laws and title restrictions, Landlord consents to the installation and use of such trademarks, service marks, signs, decor items, color schemes, and related components of the Subway® system (and any third-party add-on concept permitted under the Franchise Agreement) as Franchisor may from time to time prescribe. 7. Conflict Between Lease and Rider. In the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Rider and any other provision of the Lease or any of the exhibits or other attachments to the Lease, the provisions of this Rider shall prevail and be interpreted in such a manner as to override any provision of the Lease, exhibits or attachments that would prevent the spirit and letter of this Rider from being given full force and effect. Any amendments to the Lease by Landlord and Tenant that purport to diminish Franchisor’s rights under this Rider or restrict Tenant from locating Subway® restaurants within a certain distance from the Premises (i.e., a radius restriction) without Franchisor’s prior written consent shall be void ab initio. 8. Notices. Every notice, approval, consent or other communication authorized or required by this Rider shall be effective if given in one of the following ways: (i) by email to Franchisor at SubwayRealEstate@Subway.com, to Landlord at ________________ and to Tenant at paramountcap.1@gmail.com; (ii) in writing and hand delivered to either party; or (iii) in writing and sent for next business day delivery by FedEx, UPS, or other nationally-recognized courier.
