Gaming Commission, or any other government body. Each pa�ty to the
arbitration will bear its own expenses, including attorney fees, and the

in lowa Greyhound Association's lease with the City of Dubuque for the
exterior portions of the racetrack enclosure shown in the attached Exhibit
B excluding the maintenance shop shown in Exhibit B-1, no arbitration or
mediation provisions shall apply to the renewal or renewai terms relating

1.1 Initial Term.
(1) In consideration of the rents hereinafter reserved and the terms,

hereby subleases to the lowa Greyhound Association the Subleased
Premises, subject to any easements and restrictions of record, for an
Initial Term of five years commencing on the 1s' day of January, 2015, and
ending on the 31�' day of December, 2019, subject to all of the terms,
covenants, conditions and agreements contained herein.
(2) (a) With respect to all portions of the Subleased Premises other
than that portion designated in Exhibit A for the operation of the pari-
Pagr. I
mutuel wagering on simultaneously telecast horse or dog races as
authorized by Senate File 2362, 85th lowa General Assembly (hereafter
"SF 2362"), and as a condition this sublease, lowa Greyhound
Association shall pay, in addition to taxes, fees, assessments, and other
charges required to be paid by the lowa Greyhound Association under this
Sublease, the rental sum specified in the lease agreement between lowa
Greyhound Association and the City of Dubuque for those portions of the
racetrack enclosure located outside of the Mystique casino building.
(b) For lowa Greyhound Association's operation of pari-mutue� wagering
on simultaneously telecast horse or dog races as authorized by SF 2362
and the lowa Racing Association, in the Subleased Premises or any
portion thereof, the lowa Greyhound Association shall pay, during the
initial five-year term as rental, on an annual basis, five-percent (5%) of
import handle on simultaneously telecast horse or dog races, after
deducting: (a) payouts to wagerers, and (b) operational expenses of
simulcasting (which shall not include either (i) capital expenditures or (ii)
expenses from live greyhound racing) calculated from January 1 through
December 31 of the previous year. lowa Greyhound Association shall
deliver the annual payment no later than January 30 each year, with the
first payment due on January 3Q 2016. Any faiiure to deliver such
payment as and when due shal� be deemed a material breach by lowa
Greyhound Association of this Sublease Agreement. Sublessor may, in
its sole discretion and without waiver of such breach, extend the date for a
rental payment, provided that any such extension shall bear rate at the
rate of 2% compound interest per month until paid.
1.2 Optional Renewal Term.
(1) lowa Greyhound Association will have a single option �o renew this
Sublease for an additional five years commencing on the 151 day of
January, 2020, and ending on the 31�� day of March, 2024. DRA's current
lease of the said Premises expires March 31, 2024. In the event the City
of Dubuque and DRA extend the lease for the said Premises to or beyond
December 31, 2025, the Renewal Term shall end on the 31�' day of
December. 2025. Rent shall be at a fair market rate in addition to taxes,
fees, assessments, and other charges required to be paid under this
Sublease by the lowa Greyhound Association-
(2) If the parties are unable to reach agreement on the fair market
rental rate for purposes of the one five-year lease renewai by June 30,
2018, and if the lowa Greyhound Association requests arbiiration
concerning the renewal by June 18, 2018, the disputed terms of the
Sublease will be determined by binding arbitration in accordance with the
rules of the American Arbltration Association as of the date for arbitration.
A request for arbitration must be in writing and a wpy of the request must
Page Z
be delivered to the other party. The parties will each select one arbitrator
and the two arbitrators will choose a third arbitrator to complete the three-
person arbitration panel. Each party will deliver its final offer on each of
the disputed items to the other party within fourteen days after the request
for arbitration. After consultation with the parties, the arbitrators will set a
time and place for an arbitration hearing. The parties may continue to
negotiate all offers until an agreement is reached or a decision is rendered
by the arbitrators. For purposes of determining the fair market rental rate
for purposes of the one five-year lease renewal, either party may argue,
and present arguments and evidence, that the renewal lease rental rate
should be based upon the market value of similarly situated undeveloped
land, or upon its use as a greyhound irack. The submission of the
disputed items to the arbitrators will be limited to those items upon which
the parties have not reached agreement. However, the arbitrators have no
authority to extend the term of the lease beyond the initial five-year term
or the one five-year renewal. Any such arbitration shall take place in the
City of Dubuque, unless otherwise agreed.
(3) The arbitrators must render a decision within fifteen days after the
hearing. The arbitrators will give written explanation for the decision and
the decision of the arbitrators is final and binding on the parties, and any
decision of the arbitrators may be entered in any court having competenl
jurisdiction. The decision by the arbitrators and the items agreed upon by
the parties will be deemed to be the lease between the parties and such
final lease is not subject to the approval of the governing body of the City
of Dubuque, the lowa Greyhound Association, the lowa Racing and
Gaming Commission, or any other government body. Each party to the
arbitration will bear its own expenses, including attorney fees, and the
parties will share equaily the filing and other administrative fees of the
American Arbitration Association and the expenses of the arbitrators.
(4) Noiwithstanding any other provision of this sublease agreement, or
in lowa Greyhound Association's lease with the City of Dubuque for the
exterior portions of the racetrack enclosure shown in the attached Exhibit
B excluding the maintenance shop shown in Exhibit 8-1 , no arbitration or
mediation provisions shalt apply to the renewal or renewal terms relating
to simultaneous�y telecast horse or dog races, which shall be at all times a
matter of mutual agreement not subject to mandatory mediation or
arbitration terms and wholly independent of the sublease of the racehack
enclosure for purposes of live greyhound racing.
1.3 lowa Greyhound Association acknowledges and agrees that it is the intent
of the parties that DRA must not incur any costs related in any way to lowa
Greyhound Association's financing, lease or operation of the Subleased
Premises

Dubuque, an lowa municipal wrporation, (Lessor or City) and lowa Greyhound

RECITALS
Whereas, Lessor is the owner of the real estate and improvements ihereon
described on Exhibit A attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof (real
estate and improvements collectively the "Demised Premises"); and
Whereas, Lessor desires to lease the Demised Premises to Lessee to conduct
live dog racing, pari-mutuel wagering on live dog races and simultaneously telecast
horse or dog races; and
Whereas, Lessee desires to lease the Demised Premises from Lessor for such
use; and
Whereas, Lessor and Lessee desire to enter into this Lease in connection with
therewith.
Therefore, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree upon the foltowing mutual terms and
conditions:
SECTION 1. DEMISE AND TERM; RENT.
1 .1 Initial Term.
(1) In consideration of ihe rents hereinafter reserved and the terms,
covenants, conditions and agreements set forth in this Lease, Lessor hereby
leases to Lessee the Demised Premises, subject to any easements and
restrictions of record, for an Initial Term of five years commencing on the 1s' day
of January, 2015, and ending on the 3151 day of December, 2019, subject to all of
the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements contained herein.
(2) Lessee must pay Lessor (in addition to taxes, fees, assessments, and
other charges required to be paid under this Lease by Lessee) rent for the I
Demised Premises in the amount of $1.00 per year on January 1, 2015 and on
io�yia�„i
the first day of January of each year thereafter during the Initial Term.
1.2 Renewal Term.
(1) Lessee wili have a single option to renew this Lease for an additional five
years commencing on the 1�� day of January, 2020, and ending on the 31�� day of
December, 2024 at a fair market rental rate in addition to taxes. fees,
assessments, and other charges required to be paid under this Lease by Lessee.
(2) If the parties are unable to reach agreement on the fair market rental rate
for purposes of the one five-year lease renewal by June 3Q 2018, if Lessee
requests arbitration concerning the renewal by June 18, 2018,, the disputed terms
of the Lease will be determined by binding arbitration in accordance with the
rules of the American arbitration association as of the date for arbitration. A
request for arbitration must be in writing and a copy of the request must be
delivered to the other party. The parties will each select one arbitrator and the
two arbitrators will choose a third arbitrator to complete the three-person
arbitration panel. Each party will deliver its final offer on each of the disputed
items to the other party within fourteen days after the request for arbitration. After
consultation with the parties, the arbitrators will set a time and place for an
arbitration hearing- The parties may continue to negotiate alf offers until an
agreement is reached or a decision is rendered by the arbitrators. For purposes
of determining the fair market rental rate for purposes of the one five-year lease
renewal, either party may argue, and present arguments and evidence, that the
renewal lease rental rate should be based upon the market value of similarly
situated undeveloped land, or upon its use as a greyhound track. The submission
of the disputed items to the arbitrators will be limited to those items upon which
ihe parties have not reached agreement. However, the arbitrators have no
authority to extend the term of the lease beyond the initial five-year term or the
one five-year renewal.

the arbitrators is final and binding on the parties, and any decision of the
arbitrators may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. The
decision by the arbitrators and the items agreed upon by the paRies will be
deemed to be the Iease between the parties and such final lease is not subject to
the approval of the goveming body of the city of Dubuque, the lowa greyhound
association, the lowa Racing and Gaming Commission, or any other government
body. Each party to the arbitration will bear its own expenses, including attomey
fees, and the parties will share equally the filing and other administrative fees of
