Related to TENANT’S COVENANTS; ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

• Tenant’s Compliance With Landlord’s Fire and Casualty Insurance Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, comply with all insurance company requirements pertaining to the use of the Premises. If Tenant’s conduct or use of the Premises causes any increase in the premium for such insurance policies then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for any such increase. Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall comply with all rules, orders, regulations or requirements of the American Insurance Association (formerly the National Board of Fire Underwriters) and with any similar body.

• Assignment and Subletting by Tenant Tenant may not assign its interest in this Lease or sublet the whole or any part of the Premises without the prior consent of Landlord, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Tenant shall remain primarily liable and responsible under this Lease in the event of any such assignment or sublease and shall not be released from its obligations hereunder nor shall the guaranty of the Lease by Air Industries Group be terminated or released. Any assignment of this Lease or subletting of the Premises without notification to and consent by Landlord shall not be effective as to Landlord and Landlord shall not be bound thereby. Tenant agrees that it shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to a proposed sublease or assignment if: (a) The proposed assignee (“Proposed Assignee”) refuses to provide Landlord with financial statements covering a period of at least 12 months ending no earlier than six months and no later than three months prior to the effective date of the proposed assignment; (b) The Proposed Assignee shall not agree in writing to assume all of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease from and after the date of assignment; (c) Tenant or Proposed Assignee shall fail to pay to Landlord a processing fee of One Thousand Five Hundred ($1,500.00) Dollars (increased by 2% each year commencing 1/1/17) in connection with the proposed sublet or assignment of this lease; (d) Tenant shall fail to furnish Landlord with a true and correct copy of the sublease or assignment and assumption not less than thirty (30) days prior to execution for Landlord’s review and approval and a fully executed counterpart of the sublease or assignment and assumption of this Lease, as applicable, within ten (10) days after the date of the execution of same; (e) The Proposed Assignee is not solvent or is generally held in disrepute; (f) Without consent of Landlord, Tenant may assign this Lease to a corporation or other entity which is a direct or indirect subsidiary of Guarantor. (g) Without consent of Landlord Tenant may assign this Lease or the holders of the equity interests of Tenant may sell or assign such interests to a third party which acquires all or substantially all of the business then being conducted by Tenant at the Premises. (h) Without consent of Landlord, Tenant may sell or transfer a minority of its equity interests or otherwise assign or sublease to an affiliate or subsidiary of Tenant or its parent company; up to forty-nine percent (49%) of the Premises, or transfer equity interests in connection with going public. (i) Under no circumstances shall Tenant or Guarantor be released from any liability under this Lease or Guaranty.

• Landlord’s Right to Perform Tenant’s Covenants Tenant covenants and agrees that, if it shall at any time fail to make any payment or perform any other act on its part to be made or performed as in this Lease provided, then Landlord, in its sole discretion may after due notice to, or demand upon, Tenant and subject to the limitations set forth below, make any payment or perform any other act on the part of Tenant to be made and performed as in this Lease provided, in such manner and to such extent as Landlord may reasonably deem desirable, and in exercising any such rights, Landlord may pay necessary and incidental costs and expenses, employ counsel, and incur and pay reasonable attorneys’ fees. The making of any such payment or the performing of any other act by Landlord pursuant to this Article shall not waive, or release Tenant from, any obligations of Tenant in this Lease contained. All sums so paid by Landlord and all reasonably necessary and incidental costs and expenses in connection with the performance of any such act by Landlord shall, except as otherwise in this Lease expressly provided, be payable to Landlord on demand, and Tenant covenants to pay any such sum or sums promptly, and Landlord shall have (in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord) the same rights and remedies in the event of the non-payment thereof by Tenant as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of the Base Rent. Whenever practicable, Landlord, before proceeding as provided in this Section 12.4, shall give Tenant notice in writing of the failure of Tenant which Landlord proposes to remedy, and shall allow Tenant such length of time as may be reasonable in the circumstances, consistent with any grace periods contained herein, but not exceeding 30 days from the giving of notice, to remedy the failure itself and, if Tenant shall not remedy the failure in the time so allowed, Landlord shall be deemed to have given “due notice” and may proceed as provided in this Section 12.4; provided that nothing in this Section shall prevent Landlord from acting without notice to Tenant in case of any emergency wherein there is danger to property or person or where there may exist any violation of legal requirements including but not limited to the presence of Hazardous Materials, in which event no notice shall be required.

• Assignment and Subletting 12.1 Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease, Lessee covenants and agrees that it will not assign this Lease or sublet (which term, without limitation, shall include the granting of concessions, management arrangements and the like) the whole or any part of the Premises without, in each instance, having first received the express written consent of Lessor, which Lessor may withhold in its sole discretion except as expressly provided in this Paragraph 12. 1. Lessor’s consent to any proposed assignment of this Lease or subletting of all but not less than all of the Premises, shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided that (i) any such assignee or sublessee (or an affiliated entity or parent company thereof) demonstrates the financial capacity to carry out all of the obligations under this Lease or the sublease, as the case may be, (ii) the assignee or sublessee has a business reputation that will not detract from the image of the Building and (iii) in the case of an assignment, the proposed assignee has a tangible net worth reasonably sufficient in Lessor’s reasonable judgment to fully perform the obligations of Lessee under this Lease then remaining to be performed or in the case of a sublease, the proposed subtenant (or an affiliated entity or parent company thereof) has a financial net worth reasonably sufficient in Lessor’s reasonable judgment to fully perform those obligations of Lessee under this Lease to be performed by the subtenant under the proposed sublease. Any assignment of this Lease or subletting of the whole or any part of the Premises (other than as permitted to an Affiliate of Lessee as set forth below) by Lessee without Lessor’s express consent shall be invalid, void and of no force or effect. In any case where Lessor shall consent to such subletting, the Lessee named herein shall remain fully liable for the obligations of Lessee hereunder, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay the Rent and other amounts provided under this Lease. Any such request shall set forth, in detail reasonably satisfactory to Lessor, the identification of the proposed assignee or sublessee, its financial condition and the terms on which the proposed assignment or subletting is to be made, including, without limitation, the Rent or any other consideration to be paid in respect thereto and such request shall be treated as Lessee’s warranty in respect of the terms on which the proposed transfer is to be made. It shall be a condition of the validity of any such assignment or subletting that the assignee or sublessee agrees directly with Lessor, in form satisfactory to Lessor, to be bound by all the obligations of Lessee hereunder, including, without limitation, the obligation to pay Base Rent and other amounts provided for under this Lease and the covenant against further assignment and subletting except in compliance with the terms of this Lease; any such subletting shall not relieve the Lessee named herein of any of the obligations of Lessee hereunder, and Lessee shall remain fully liable therefor. In no event, however, shall Lessee assign this Lease or sublet the whole or any part of the Premises to a proposed assignee or sublessee which has been judicially declared bankrupt or insolvent according to law, or with respect to which an assignment has been made of property for the benefit of creditors, or with respect to which a receiver, guardian, conservator, trustee in involuntary bankruptcy or similar officer has been appointed to take charge of all or any substantial part of the proposed assignee’s or sublessee’s property by a court of competent jurisdiction, or with respect to which a petition has been filed for reorganization under any provisions of the Bankruptcy Code now or hereafter enacted, or if a proposed assignee or sublessee has filed a petition for such reorganization, or for arrangements under any provisions of the Bankruptcy Code now or hereafter enacted and providing a plan for a debtor to settle, satisfy or extend the time for the payment of debts. For the purposes of this Lease, the entering into of any management agreement or any agreement in the nature thereof transferring control or any substantial percentage of the profits and losses from the business operations of the Lessee in the Premises to a person or entity other than the Lessee (or an affiliate, subsidiary, or parent company of Lessee), or otherwise having substantially the same effect, shall be treated for all purposes as an assignment of this Lease and shall be governed by the provisions of this Paragraph 12. Without limiting Lessor’s discretion to grant or withhold its consent to any proposed assignment or subletting, if Lessee notifies Lessor in writing of Lessee’s intent to assign this Lease or sublet the entire Premises, except in the case of a Permitted Transfer (as defined below), Lessor shall have the option, exercisable by written notice to Lessee given within thirty (30) days after Lessor’s receipt of such notice of intent to assign or sublease, to terminate this Lease as of the date specified in Lessee’s request. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions herein, Lessor’s consent shall not be required for an assignment or subletting to an Affiliate of Lessee, and for the purposes hereof, an “Affiliate of Lessee” shall mean (x) an entity which controls, is controlled by or under common control with Lessee, (y) a successor corporation related to Lessee by merger, consolidation, non-bankruptcy reorganization, or government action, or (z) a purchaser of substantially all of Lessee’s assets at the Premises or stock; provided, however, that in the case of any assignment to an Affiliate of Lessee, the Affiliate shall agree directly with Lessor to be bound by all of the obligations of the Lessee under this Lease. Further, any person or entity owning directly or indirectly, a majority of either the outstanding voting rights or the outstanding ownership interests of Lessee, may assign or otherwise transfer such interests to another person or entity, provided that, in all instances, the combined net worth of the Lessee shall continue to have a net worth following consummation of such transaction that is at least equal to the net worth of Lessee as of the date of the assignment. In the avoidance of doubt, it is agreed that no assignment of this Lease, whether with or without the Lessor’s consent, and no subletting of all or any portion of the Premises, again with or without the Lessor’s consent, shall act to relieve the Lessee of its obligations under this Lease or release the Guarantor of its obligations under its guaranty. Any assignment or subletting pursuant to this paragraph shall be a “Permitted Transfer”. (a) An assignment or subletting without consent, other than a Permitted Transfer, shall, at Lessor’s option, be a Default curable after notice per Paragraph 13.1(d), or a noncurable Breach without the necessity of any notice and grace period. If Lessor elects to treat such unapproved assignment or subletting as a noncurable Breach, Lessor may either: (i) terminate this Lease, or (ii) upon thirty (30) days written notice, increase the monthly Base Rent to [***]% of the Base Rent then in effect. Further, in the event of such Breach and rental adjustment, all fixed and non-fixed rental adjustments scheduled during the remainder of the Lease term shall be increased to [***]% of the scheduled adjusted rent. (b) Lessee’s remedy for any breach of Paragraph 12.1 by Lessor shall be limited to compensatory damages and/or injunctive relief. (c) Lessor may reasonably withhold consent to a proposed assignment or subletting if Lessee is in Breach or Default at the time consent is requested. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, allowing a de minimis portion of the Premises, i.e. 20 square feet or less, to be used by a third party vendor in connection with the installation of a vending machine or payphone shall not constitute a subletting.

• Terms and Conditions Applicable to Assignment and Subletting (a) Regardless of Lessor's consent, any assignment or subletting shall not: (i) be effective without the express written assumption by such assignee or sublessee of the obligations of Lessee under this Lease, (ii) release Lessee of any obligations hereunder, or (iii) alter the primary liability of Lessee for the payment of Base Rent and other sums due Lessor hereunder or for the performance of any other obligations to be performed by Lessee under this Lease. (b) Lessor may accept any rent or performance of Lessee's obligations from any person other than Lessee pending approval or disapproval of an assignment. Neither a delay in the approval or disapproval of such assignment nor the acceptance of any rent or performance shall constitute a waiver or estoppel of Lessor's right to exercise its remedies for the Default or Breach by Lessee of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Lease. (c) The consent of Lessor to any assignment or subletting shall not constitute a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting by Lessee or to any subsequent or successive assignment or subletting by the sublessee. However, Lessor may consent to subsequent sublettings and assignments of the sublease or any amendments or modifications thereto without notifying Lessee or anyone else liable on the Lease or sublease and without obtaining their consent, and such action shall not relieve such persons from liability under this Lease or sublease. (d) In the event of any Default or Breach of Lessee's obligations under this Lease, Lessor may proceed directly against Lessee, any Guarantors or any one else responsible for the performance of the Lessee's obligations under this Lease, including the sublessee, without first exhausting Lessor's remedies against any other person or entity responsible therefor to Lessor, or any security held by Lessor or Lessee. (e) Each request for consent to an assignment or subletting shall be in writing, accompanied by information relevant to Lessor's determination as to the financial and operational responsibility and appropriateness of the proposed assignee or sublessee, including but not limited to the intended use and/or required modification of the Premises, if any, together with a non-refundable deposit of $1,000 or ten percent (10%) of the current monthly Base Rent, whichever is greater, as reasonable consideration for Lessor's considering and processing the request for consent. Lessee agrees to provide Lessor with such other or additional information and/or documentation as may be reasonably requested by Lessor. (f) Any assignee of, or sublessee under, this Lease shall, by reason of accepting such assignment or entering into such sublease, be deemed, for the benefit of Lessor, to have assumed and agreed to conform and comply with each and every term, covenant, condition and obligation herein to be observed or performed by Lessee during the term of said assignment or sublease, other than such obligations as are contrary to or inconsistent with provisions of an assignment or sublease to which Lessor has specifically consented in writing. (g) The occurrence of a transaction described in Paragraph 12.1

• Required Sublease Provisions Any sublease of all or any portion of the Leased Property entered into on or after the date hereof in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 16.3 shall provide (a) that it is subject and subordinate to this Agreement and to the matters to which this Agreement is or shall be subject or subordinate; (b) that in the event of termination of this Agreement or reentry or dispossession of Tenant by Landlord under this Agreement, Landlord may, at its option, terminate such sublease or take over all of the right, title and interest of Tenant, as sublessor under such sublease, and, except as provided below, such subtenant shall, at Landlord's option, attorn to Landlord pursuant to the then executory provisions of such sublease, except that neither Landlord nor any Facility Mortgagee, as holder of a mortgage or as Landlord under this Agreement, if such mortgagee succeeds to that position, shall (i) be liable for any act or omission of Tenant under such sublease, (ii) be subject to any credit, counterclaim, offset or defense which theretofore accrued to such subtenant against Tenant, (iii) be bound by any previous prepayment of more than one (1) Accounting Period, (iv) be bound by any covenant of Tenant to undertake or complete any construction work on the Leased Property or any portion thereof, (v) be required to account for any security deposit of the subtenant other than any security deposit actually delivered to Landlord by Tenant, (vi) be bound by any obligation to make any payment to such subtenant or grant any credits, except for services, repairs, maintenance and restoration provided for under the sublease that are performed after the date of such attornment, (vii) be responsible for any monies owing by Tenant to the credit of such subtenant, or (viii) be required to remove any Person occupying any portion of the Leased Property; and (c), in the event that such subtenant receives a written Notice from Landlord or any Facility Mortgagee stating that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such subtenant shall thereafter be obligated to pay all rentals accruing under such sublease directly to the party giving such Notice or as such party may direct. All rentals received from such subtenant by Landlord or the Facility Mortgagee, as the case may be, shall be credited against the amounts owing by Tenant under this Agreement and such sublease shall provide that the subtenant thereunder shall, at the request of Landlord, execute a suitable instrument in confirmation of such agreement to attorn. An original counterpart of each such sublease duly executed by Tenant and such subtenant shall be delivered promptly to Landlord and Tenant shall remain liable for the payment of the Rent and for the performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions to be performed by Tenant hereunder. The provisions of this Section 16.2 shall not be deemed a waiver of the provisions set forth in Section 16.1(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 16.2, the Transition Period Sublease to be entered into by and between the Tenant and the Operator of even date herewith is hereby approved by the Landlord and shall not be required to comply with the provisions of this Section 16.2.

• Tenant’s Covenants The Tenant hereby covenants with the Landlord as follows:

• COMPLIANCE WITH COVENANTS, RESTRICTIONS AND BUILDING CODE Lessor warrants that any improvements (other than those constructed by Lessee or at Lessee's direction) on or in the Premises which have been constructed or installed by Lessor or with Lessor's consent or at Lessor's direction shall comply with all applicable covenants or restrictions of record and applicable building codes, regulations and ordinances in effect on the Commencement Date. Lessor further warrants to Lessee that Lessor has no knowledge of any claim having been made by any governmental agency that a violation or violations of applicable building codes, regulations, or ordinances exist with regard to the Premises as of the Commencement Date. Said warranties shall not apply to any Alterations or Utility Installations (defined in Paragraph 7.3(a)) made or to be made by Lessee. If the Premises do not comply with said warranties, Lessor shall, except as otherwise provided in this Lease, promptly after receipt of written notice from Lessee given within six (6) months following the Commencement Date and setting forth with specificity the nature and extent of such non-compliance, take such action, at Lessor's expense, as may be reasonable or appropriate to rectify the non-compliance. Lessor makes no warranty that the Permitted Use in Paragraph 1.8 is permitted for the Premises under Applicable Laws (as defined in Paragraph 2.4).

• Covenants and Conditions; Construction of Agreement All provisions of this Lease to be observed or performed by Lessee are both covenants and conditions. In construing this Lease, all headings and titles are for the convenience of the Parties only and shall not be considered a part of this Lease. Whenever required by the context, the singular shall include the plural and vice versa. This Lease shall not be construed as if prepared by one of the Parties, but rather according to its fair meaning as a whole, as if both Parties had prepared it.

• Tenant’s Waiver Landlord and Tenant agree that the provisions of Paragraph 10.4 above, captioned "Tenant's Right To Terminate", are intended to supersede and replace the provisions contained in California Civil Code, Section 1932, Subdivision 2, and California Civil Code, Section 1934, and accordingly, Tenant hereby waives the provisions of such Civil Code Sections and the provisions of any successor Civil Code Sections or similar laws hereinafter enacted.
