Exhibit "A"
21. OTHER PROVISIONS. (a) Either party may record this Lease or a memorandum hereof at any time.
(b) Tenant shall, at its own cost and expense, undertake all work of site preparation and construction
necessary to excavate a stormwater detention facility and construct a paved, approximately 23-stall parking lot
and up to three pickleball courts on the premises, together with such lighting, fencing, landscaping and other
improvements as Tenant may desire, subject to the provisions of this paragraph. Tenant shall submit specific
designs and site plans for review and approval by the Waterloo Leisure Services Director and City Engineer before
the commencement of construction. The initial site plan is attached hereto as Exhibit"B"for purposes of illustration
but may be modified upon mutual consent of the parties. Tenant will use its best efforts to obtain, or cause to be
obtained, in a timely manner, all required permits, licenses and approvals, and will meet, in a timely manner, all
requirements of all applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations which must be obtained or met before
the Improvements may be lawfully constructed. All improvements shall be constructed in accordance with all
applicable building codes and shall comply with all applicable city ordinances and other applicable law. Any future
replacements or alterations to the improved premises shall be subject to Tenant's compliance with the provisions
of this paragraph that are applicable to original construction.
(c) The parking lot to be constructed by Tenant shall avoid an existing paved area of eleven (11) parking
spaces on the northwest side of the premises. Pursuant to prior agreement between Landlord and the owner of
the abutting property (currently DEC Real Estate LC), the abutting owner has the right to use such spaces for its
business purposes. Tenant agrees not to interfere with such right of use or direct access thereto from the abutting
owner's property.
(d) [Intentionally deleted.]
(e) Tenant shall be solely responsible for all repair, maintenance and upkeep of the premises and
improvements thereon, including but not limited to snow removal, mowing, and weed control. As an alternative
to remedies under Section 16, Landlord may, if Tenant fails to repair and maintain the improvements, terminate
this Lease if Tenant does not provide to Landlord, within thirty (30)days after delivery of written notice to Tenant,
a plan to complete repairs and/or maintenance according to plans and on a time table reasonably acceptable to
Landlord. Tenant shall be further responsible for litter control in and around the premises, including but not limited
to areas within 50 feet of the premises on any street, sidewalk, or other publicly owned area. Litter shall be picked

clean condition. Tenant shall be solely responsible for any utility costs relating to the premises.
(f) The parking lot, pickleball courts, and other Tenant improvements shall be available for use by the
general public at all times during normal operating hours, except: (i)Tenant's residents, guests and staff will have
priority on two of the three pickleball courts between 9:00 AM and noon each day; and (ii)Tenant may reserve the
facilities for up to four daily special events per year. Tenant's proposed closure of the facilities for special events,
whether in whole or in part or whether in accordance with a regular schedule or otherwise, shall be subject to
advance approval by the Waterloo Leisure Services Director or successor, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Tenant may post reasonable regulations regarding use of the premises. Tenant shall provide, at its
own cost and expense, any security that Tenant considers necessary or advisable for the protection of Tenant's
residents, their guests, and any of their vehicles.
(g) Unless otherwise agreed, any improvements made by Tenant during the Lease term shall become
the sole property of Landlord at the expiration of this Lease, without compensation for same to Tenant.
