a. Tenant shall on three or more occasions be in default in the payment of rent or other charges herein required to be paid by Tenant
(default herein being defined as payment received by Landlord ten or more days subsequent to the due date), regardless of whether
or not such default has occurred on consecutive or non-consecutive months; or
b. Tenant has caused a lien to be filed against the Landlord’s property and said lien is not removed within thirty (30) days
of recordation thereof; or
c.
Tenant shall default in the observance or performance of any of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and observed
by Tenant hereunder for a period of thirty (30) days after notice to Tenant in writing of such default (or if such default shall
reasonably take more than thirty (30) days to cure, Tenant shall not have commenced the same within the thirty (30) days and diligently
prosecuted the same to completion); or
d. Sixty (60) days have elapsed after the commencement of any proceeding by or against
Tenant, whether by the filing of a petition or otherwise, seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment,
liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under the present or future Federal Bankruptcy Act or any other present or future applicable
federal, state or other statute or law, whereby such proceeding shall not have been dismissed (provided, however, that the non-dismissal
of any such proceeding shall not be a default hereunder so long as all of Tenant’s covenants and obligations hereunder are
being performed by or on behalf of Tenant); then Landlord shall be entitled to its election (unless Tenant shall cure such default
prior to such election), to exercise concurrently or successively, any one or more of the following rights:
I.
Terminate this Lease by giving Tenant notice of termination, in which event this Lease shall expire and terminate on the
date specified in such notice of termination, with the same force and effect as though the date so specified were the date
herein originally fixed as the termination date of the term of this Lease, and all rights of Tenant under this Lease and in
and to the Premises shall expire and terminate, and Tenant shall remain liable for all obligations under this Lease arising
up to the date of such termination, and Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord on the date specified in such notice;
or
ii. Terminate this Lease as provided herein and recover from Tenant all damages Landlord may incur by reason of
Tenant’s default, including, without limitation, a sum which, at the date of such termination, represents the then
value of the excess, if any, of (a) the Minimum Rent, Percentage Rent, Taxes and all other sums which would have been payable
hereunder by Tenant for the period commencing with the day following the date of such termination and ending with the date
herein before set for the expiration of the full term hereby granted, over (b) the aggregate reasonable rental value of the
Premises for the same period, all of which excess sum shall be deemed immediately due and payable; or
iii.
Without terminating this Lease, declare immediately due and payable all Minimum Rent, Taxes, and other rents and amounts due
and coming due under this Lease for the entire remaining term hereof, together with all other amounts previously due, at
once; provided, however, that such payment shall not be deemed a penalty or liquidated damages but shall merely constitute
payment in advance of rent for the remainder of said term. Upon making such payment, Tenant shall be entitled to receive from
Landlord all rents received by Landlord from other assignees, tenants, and subtenants on account of said Premises during the
term of this Lease, provided that the monies to which tenant shall so become entitled shall in no event exceed the entire
amount actually paid by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to the preceding sentence less all costs, expenses and attorney’s
fees of Landlord incurred in connection with the reletting of the Premises; or
iv.
Without terminating this Lease, and with or without notice to Tenant, Landlord may in its own name but as agent for Tenant
enter into and upon and take possession of the Premises or any part thereof, and, at landlord’s option, remove persons
and property therefrom, and such property, if any, may be removed and stored in a warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of, and
for the account of Tenant, all without being deemed guilty of trespass or becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be
occasioned thereby, and Landlord may rent the Premises or any portion thereof as the agent of Tenant with or without
advertisement, and by private negotiations and for any term upon such terms and conditions as Landlord may deem necessary or
desirable in order to relet the Premises. Landlord shall in no way be responsible or liable for any rental concessions or any
failure to rent the Premises or any part thereof, or for any failure to collect any rent due upon such reletting. Upon such
reletting, all rentals received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied: first, to the payment of any indebtedness
(other than any rent due hereunder) from Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such
reletting, including, without limitation, brokerage fees and attorney’s fees and costs of alterations and repairs;
third, to the payment of rent and other charges then due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any shall be held by
Landlord to the extent of and for application in payment of future rent as the same may become due and payable hereunder. In
reletting the Premises as aforesaid, Landlord may grant rent concessions and Tenant shall not be credited therefor. If such
rentals received from such reletting shall at any time or from time to time be less than sufficient to pay to Landlord the
entire sums then due from Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall, at
Landlord’s option, be calculated and paid monthly. No such reletting shall be construed as an election by Landlord to
terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such election has been given to Tenant by Landlord. Notwithstanding any such
reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for any such previous
default provided same has not been cured; or
v. Without liability to Tenant or any other party and without constituting a constructive or actual eviction, suspend or discontinue
furnishing or rendering to Tenant any property, material, labor, Utilities or other service, whether Landlord is obligated to
furnish or render the same, so long as Tenant is in default under this Lease; or
vi. Allow the Premises to remain unoccupied and collect rent from Tenant as it comes due; or
vii. Foreclose the security interest described herein, including the immediate taking of possession of all property on or in the Premises;
or
viii. Pursue such other remedies as are available at law or equity.
e.
Landlord’s pursuit of any remedy of remedies, including without limitation, any one or more of the remedies stated herein
shall not (1) constitute an election of remedies or preclude pursuit of any other remedy or remedies provided in this Lease or
any other remedy or remedies provided by law or in equity, separately or concurrently or in any combination, or (2) sever as the
basis for any claim of constructive eviction, or allow Tenant to withhold any payments under this Lease.
Section
2. LANDLORD’S Self Help. If in the performance or observance of any agreement or condition in this Lease contained on its
part to be performed or observed and shall not cure such default within thirty (30) days after notice from Landlord specifying
the default (or if such default shall reasonably take more than thirty (30) days to cure, shall diligently prosecuted the same
to completion), Landlord may, at its option, without waiving any claim for damages for breach of agreement, at any time thereafter
cure such default for the account of Tenant, and any amount paid or contractual liability incurred by Landlord in so doing shall
be deemed paid or incurred for the account of Tenant and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord therefor and save Landlord harmless
therefrom. Provided, however, that Landlord may cure any such default as aforesaid prior to the expiration of said waiting period,
without notice to Tenant if any emergency situation exists, or after notice to Tenant, if the curing of such default prior to
the expiration of said waiting period is reasonably necessary to protect the Leased Premises or Landlord’s interest therein,
or to prevent injury or damage to persons or property. If Tenant shall fail to reimburse Landlord upon demand for any amount paid
for the account of Tenant hereunder, said amount shall be added to and become due as a part of the next payment of rent due and
shall for all purposes be deemed and treated as rent hereunder.
Section
3. TENANT’S Self Help. If Landlord shall default in the performance or observance of any agreement or condition in this
Lease contained on its part to be performed or observed, and if Landlord shall not cure such default within thirty (30) days after
notice from Tenant specifying the default (or, if such default shall reasonably take more than thirty (30) days to cure, and Landlord
shall not have commenced the same within the thirty (30) days and diligently prosecuted the same to completion), Tenant may, at
its option, without waiving any claim for damages for breach of agreement, at any time thereafter cure such default for the account
of Landlord and any amount paid or any contractual liability incurred by Tenant in so doing shall be deemed paid or incurred for
the account of Landlord and Landlord shall reimburse Tenant therefor and save Tenant harmless therefrom. Provided, however, that
Tenant may cure any such default as aforesaid prior to the expiration of said waiting period, without notice to Landlord if an
emergency situation exists, or after notice to Landlord , if the curing of such default prior to the expiration of said waiting
period is reasonably necessary to protect the Leased Premises or Tenant’s interest therein or to prevent injury or damage
to persons or property. If Landlord shall fail to reimburse Tenant upon demand for any amount paid or liability incurred for the
account of Landlord hereunder, said amount or liability may be deducted by Tenant from the next or any succeeding payments of
rent due hereunder; provided, however, that should said amount or the liability therefor be disputed by Landlord, Landlord may
contest its liability or the amount thereof, through arbitration or through a declaratory judgment action and Landlord shall bear
the cost of the filing fees therefor.

XVII - TITLE
Section
1. Subordination. Tenant shall, upon the request of Landlord in writing, subordinate this Lease to the lien of any present or
future institutional mortgage upon the Leased Premises irrespective of the time of execution or the time of recording of any such
mortgage. Provided, however, that as a condition to such subordination, the holder of any such mortgage shall enter first into
a written agreement with Tenant in form suitable for recording to the effect that:
a. in the event of foreclosure or other action taken under the mortgage by the holder thereof, this Lease and the rights of Tenant
hereunder shall not be disturbed but shall continue in full force and effect so long as Tenant shall not be in default hereunder,
and
b.
such holder shall permit insurance proceeds and condemnation proceeds to be used for any restoration and repair required by
the provisions of Articles XIII, XIV or XV, respectively. Tenant agrees that if the mortgagee or any person claiming under
the mortgagee shall succeed to the interest of Landlord in this Lease, Tenant will recognize said mortgagee or person as its
Landlord under the terms of this Lease, provided that said mortgagee or person for the period during which said mortgagee or
person respectively shall be in possession of the Leased Premises and thereafter their respective successors in interest
shall assume all of the obligations of Landlord hereunder. The word “mortgage”, as used herein includes
mortgages, deeds of trust or other similar instruments, and modifications, and extensions thereof. The term
“institutional mortgage” as used in this Article XVII means a mortgage securing a loan from a bank (commercial or
savings) or trust company, insurance company or pension trust or any other lender institutional in nature and constituting a
lien upon the Leased Premises.
Section
2. Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord covenants and agrees that upon Tenant paying the rent and observing and performing all of the terms,
covenants and conditions on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed hereunder, that Tenant may peaceably and quietly
have, hold, occupy and enjoy the Leased Premises in accordance with the terms of this Lease without hindrance or molestation from
Landlord or any persons lawfully claiming through Landlord .
Section
3. Zoning and Good Title. Landlord warrants and represents, upon which warranty and representation Tenant has relied in the
execution of this Lease, that Landlord is the owner of the Leased Premises, in fee simple absolute, free and clear of all
encumbrances, except for the easements, covenants and restrictions of record as of the date of this Lease. Such exceptions
shall not impede or interfere with the quiet use and enjoyment of the Leased Premises by Tenant. Landlord further warrants
and covenants that this Lease is and shall be a first lien on the Leased Premises, subject only to any Mortgage to which this
Lease is subordinate or may become subordinate pursuant to an agreement executed by Tenant, and to such encumbrances as shall
be caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant; that Landlord has full right and lawful authority to execute this Lease for the
term, in the manner, and upon the conditions and provisions herein contained; that there is no legal impediment to the use of
the Leased Premises as set out herein; that the Leased Premises are not subject to any easements, restrictions, zoning
ordinances or similar governmental regulations which prevent their use as set out herein; that the Leased Premises presently
are zoned for the use contemplated herein and throughout the term of this lease may continue to be so used therefor by virtue
of said zoning, under the doctrine of “non-conforming use”, or valid and binding decision of appropriate
authority, except, however, that said representation and warranty by Landlord shall not be applicable in the event that
Tenant’s act or omission shall invalidate the application of said zoning, the doctrine of “non-conforming
use” or the valid and binding decision of the appropriate authority. Landlord shall furnish without expense to Tenant,
within thirty (30) days after written request therefor by Tenant, a title report covering the Leased Premises showing the
condition of title as of the date of such certificate, provided, however, that Landlord’s obligation hereunder shall be
limited to the furnishing of only one such title report.
Section
4. Licenses. It shall be the Tenant’s responsibility to obtain any and all necessary licenses and the Landlord shall bear
no responsibility therefor; the Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord of the fact that it has obtained the necessary licenses
in order to prevent any delay to Landlord in commencing construction of the Leased Premises.

Section
2. Holding Over. In the event that Tenant or anyone claiming under Tenant shall continue occupancy of the Leased Premises after
the expiration of the term of this Lease or any renewal or extension thereof without any agreement in writing between Landlord
and Tenant with respect thereto, such occupancy shall not be deemed to extend or renew the term of the Lease, but such occupancy
shall continue as a tenancy at will, from month to month, upon the covenants, provisions and conditions herein contained. The
rental shall be the rental in effect during the term of this Lease as extended or renewed, prorated and payable for the period
of such occupancy.
Section
3. Waivers. Failure of either party to complain of any act or omission on the part of the other party, no matter how long the
same may continue, shall not be deemed to be a waiver by said party of any of its rights hereunder. No waiver by either party
at any time, express or implied, of any breach of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed a waiver of a breach of any other
provision of this Lease or a consent to any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision. If any action by either party
shall require the consent or approval of the other party, the other party’s consent to or approval of such action on any
one occasion shall not be deemed a consent to or approval of said action on any subsequent occasion or a consent to or approval
of any other action on the same or any subsequent occasion. Any and all rights and remedies which either party may have under
this Lease or by operation of law, either at law or in equity, upon any breach, shall be distinct, separate and cumulative and
shall not be deemed inconsistent with each other, and no one of them, whether exercised by said party or not, shall be deemed
to be an exclusion of any other; and any two or more or all of such rights and remedies may be exercised at the same time.
Section
4. Disputes. It is agreed that, if at any time a dispute shall arise as to any amount or sum of money to be paid by one party
to the other under the provisions hereof, the party against whom the obligation to pay the money is asserted shall have the right
to make payment “under protest” and such payment shall not be regarded as a voluntary payment and there shall survive
the right on the part of the said party to institute suit for the recovery of such sum. If it shall be adjudged that there was
no legal obligation on the part of said party to pay such sum or any part thereof, said party shall be entitled to recover such
sum or so much thereof as it was not legally required to pay under the provisions of this Lease. If at any time a dispute shall
arise between the parties hereto as to any work to be performed by either of them under the provisions hereof, the party against
whom the obligation to perform the work is asserted may perform such work and pay the costs thereof “under protest”
and the performance of such work shall in no event be regarded as a voluntary performance and shall survive the right on the part
of the said party to institute suit for the recovery of the costs of such work. If it shall be adjudged that there was no legal
obligation on the part of the said party to perform the same or any part thereof, said party shall be entitled to recover the
costs of such work or the cost of so much thereof as said party was not legally required to perform under the provisions of this
Lease and the amount so paid by Tenant may be withheld or deducted by Tenant from any rents herein reserved.
Section
5. TENANT’S Right to cure LANDLORD’S Default. In the event that Landlord shall fail, refuse or neglect to pay any
mortgages, liens or encumbrances, the judicial sale of which might affect the interest of Tenant hereunder, or shall fail, refuse
or neglect to pay any interest due or payable on any such mortgage, lien or encumbrance, Tenant may pay said mortgages, liens
or encumbrances, or interest or perform said conditions and charge to Landlord the amount so paid and withhold and deduct from
any rents herein reserved such amounts so paid, and any excess over and above the amounts of said rents shall be paid by Landlord
to Tenant.
Section

mailing the same by certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, and any such notice or other communication
shall be deemed to have been given when received by the party to whom such notice or other communication shall be addressed.
If intended for Landlord the same will be mailed to the address herein above set forth or such other address as Landlord may
hereafter designate by notice to Tenant, and if intended for Tenant, the same shall be mailed to Tenant at the address herein
above set forth, or such other address or addresses as Tenant may hereafter designate by notice to Landlord.

damage to property of Tenant or of others located on the Leased Premises, except where caused by the willful act or omission or
negligence of Landlord , or Landlord’s agents, employees or contractors, provided, however, that if Tenant shall notify
Landlord in writing of repairs which are the responsibility of Landlord under Article VII hereof, and Landlord shall fail to commence
and diligently prosecute to completion said repairs promptly after such notice, and if after the giving of such notice and the
occurrence of such failure, loss of or damage to Tenant’s property shall result from the condition as to which Landlord
has been notified, Landlord shall indemnify and hold harmless Tenant from any loss, cost or expense arising therefrom.
Section
2. Force Majeure. In the event that Landlord or Tenant shall be delayed or hindered in or prevented from the performance of any
act other than Tenant’s obligation to make payments of rent, additional rent, and other charges required hereunder, by reason
of strikes, lockouts, unavailability of materials, failure of power, restrictive governmental laws or regulations, riots, insurrections,
the act, failure to act, or default of the other party, war or other reason beyond its control, then performance of such act shall
be excused for the period of the delay and the period for the performance of such act shall be extended for a period equivalent
to the period of such delay. Notwithstanding the foregoing, lack of funds shall not be deemed to be a cause beyond control of
either party.

law.
