D. Payment of Rent. All payments of Rent or other sums to be made to Landlord shall be made at such place as Landlord shall designate in writing from time to time. Landlord may accept less than the full amount of Rent due at any time, and such acceptance shall not constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to insist upon full payment of all Rent and other charges due under this Lease.

4. Assignment. Tenant covenants not to assign or transfer this Lease or hypothecate or mortgage the same or sublet the Premises or any part thereof without the written consent of the Landlord, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Unless expressly agreed to in writing by Landlord, Landlord’s consent to an assignment or transfer of this Lease shall not relieve Tenant of its obligations under this Lease.

This Lease shall not be treated as an asset of Tenant in the event Landlord terminates this Lease. If Landlord has no legal right to terminate this Lease and Tenant, as a debtor-in-possession pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, or its trustee, elects to assume this Lease, adequate assurance of future performance must be given in addition to the cure of all outstanding defaults. Adequate assurance of future performance shall constitute the posting of three (3) months advance rent and reasonable financial assurance that such debtor, trustee or assignee is financially capable of continued performance of all obligations under this Lease. In the event of a Chapter 11 reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code, this Lease must be assumed or assigned within sixty (60) days of filing or this Lease will be deemed rejected.

6. Right to Mortgage. Subject to the terms of this Section , Landlord reserves the right to subject and subordinate this Lease at all times to the lien of any mortgage or mortgages now or hereafter placed upon the Landlord’s interest in the Premises or the Building. Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and deliver upon demand such further instrument or instruments subordinating this Lease to the lien of any such mortgage or mortgages as shall be desired by the Landlord and any mortgagees or proposed mortgagees and hereby irrevocably appoints the Landlord the attorney- in-fact of the Tenant to execute and deliver any such instrument or instruments for and in the name of the Tenant, provided, however, that the holder of such mortgage shall covenant and agree with Tenant that, in the event of the foreclosure of such mortgage, for so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease, the holder of such mortgage and any purchaser at the foreclosure sales shall recognize and not disturb or interfere with the rights and interests of Tenant hereunder. Tenant shall, in such event, attorn to such holder and purchaser. The Tenant subordination and attornment and the rights of non- disturbance shall be memorialized by a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in a commercially-reasonable form, acceptable to Tenant, Landord (if requiring Landlord’s signature) and such mortgagee. Tenant covenants to negotiate diligently in good faith with Landord (if requiring Landlord’s signature) and such mortgagee to agree upon the form of subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement.

Tenant shall not use the Premises in any manner which would reasonably cause the Premises to be considered any extra or especially hazardous risk under a standard fire insurance policy without providing Landlord with a policy of insurance covering such extra risks to Landlord’s reasonable satisfaction. Upon any breach of this Section 7, Landlord may at its option terminate this Lease and reenter and repossess the Premises.

8. Damage to Premises. From and after the date on which Tenant shall be privileged to enter upon the Premises, Landlord shall insure the Premises against damage or destruction by fire and other casualties insurable under a standard extended coverage endorsement. Tenant shall be solely responsible for insuring Tenant’s trade fixtures and trade goods within the Premises.

In the event that, at any time during the Lease Term, the permanent improvements then constituting the Premises and site improvements shall be damaged or destroyed (partially or totally) by fire or any other casualty insurable under a standard fire and extended coverage endorsement, Landlord shall promptly, and with due diligence, repair, rebuild and restore the same as nearly as practicable to the condition existing just prior to such damage or destruction using the proceeds of the insurance obtained by Landlord; provided, however, if Fifty (50%) Percent or more of the Premises is damaged Landlord will have the right to terminate this Lease, and if as a result of any such damage or destruction during the last year of the lease term, Tenant’s fixtures, equipment or other property shall be damaged or destroyed in an amount exceeding One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00), then either party may terminate this Lease as of the date of such damage or destruction by giving written notice to the other party within thirty (30) days thereafter and Tenant shall (assuming Tenant conducts no business from the Premises) have an additional fortyfive (45) days within which to remove (at Tenant’s sole cost and expense) its property from the Premises, provided Tenant shall have no right of termination if the casualty occurs because of Tenant’s negligence or intentional acts.

Notwithstanding any such termination of this Lease by Landlord as provided in this Section, other than the event of damage to fifty (50%) or more of the Premises, Tenant shall have the right to exercise any option to extend the term hereof within thirty (30) days after the date of the receipt of Landlord’s notice of termination under this Section 8, and upon the exercise of any such option by Tenant, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect despite such notice of termination by Landlord and Landlord shall repair, rebuild and restore the said permanent improvements as above provided. In the event that this Lease shall be terminated as above provided, all unearned rent and other charges paid in advance shall be refunded to Tenant. The proceeds of the fire and extended coverage insurance carried by Landlord, shall be used to pay for Landlord’s cost to repair or replace the Premises as required by this Section 8.

Each party hereto hereby remises, releases and discharges the other party hereto and any officer, agent, employee or representative of such party of and from any liability whatsoever hereafter arising from loss, damage or injury caused by fire or other casualty for which insurance (permitting waiver of liability and containing a waiver of subrogation) is carried or is required hereunder to be carried, by the party at the time of such loss, damage or injury.

9. Repairs. The Landlord warrants that all mechanical, electrical and HVAC systems in the Premises are in good working order, subject to normal wear and tear, as of the Effective Date. Landlord shall make all necessary repairs and replacements to the building in which the demised premises are located, and to the common areas and electrical systems located therein, and Landlord shall also make all repairs to the demised premises which are structural in nature or required due to fire, casualty or other act of God; provided, however that Tenant shall make all repairs and replacements arising from its act, neglect or default. Tenant shall keep the demised premises in good repair, and Tenant shall upon the expiration of the term of this Lease, yield and deliver up the demised premises in like condition as when taken, reasonable use and wear thereof and repairs required to be made by Landlord excepted. In the event that the Landlord shall deem it necessary or be required by any governmental authority to alter, repair, remove, reconstruct or improve any part of the demised premises or of the building in which the demised premises are located (unless the same result from Tenant’s act, neglect, default or mode of operation in which event Tenant shall make all such repairs, alterations and improvements), then the same shall be made by the Landlord with reasonable dispatch, however, such obligation of Tenant shall not extend to maintenance, repairs or replacements necessitated by the intentional wrongdoing or gross negligence of Landlord. If all or part of the Premises are unfit for occupancy by reason of: 1) damage or destruction for which the Tenant is not responsible hereunder; or 2) repairs, alterations, or improvements commenced by Landlord if it deems necessary in its sole discretion or if required by governmental authority, the Base Rent from the date the Premises are unfit for occupancy until the Premises are fit for occupancy will be abated in proportion to the ratio that the portion of the Premises that is unfit for occupancy bears to that portion of the Premises that is fit for occupancy. If repairs, improvements, alterations, reconstruction, etc. to the Premises cannot be completed within ninety (90) days, the Tenant may, at its option, terminate this Lease and the Landlord shall immediately refund to Tenant all unearned rent and other charges paid in advance by Tenant to Landlord.

The insurance afforded by this policy shall apply to the Landlord as an additional insured, but only with respect to personal injury and property damage liability arising out of the Tenant’s use of the Premises and then only to the extent of the Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Tenant additionally agrees to cover all risks of construction during the period Tenant’s improvements are being constructed by Tenant unless arising out of Landlord’s acts of negligence or default.

All insurance required of Tenant shall be placed with an insurance company authorized to issue property and casualty insurance in the State of Michigan and having a Best rating of “A, Class XII” or better. Such insurance shall name Landlord and its mortgagee, if any, as additional insureds and mortgagee pursuant to a standard non- contributory mortgagee clause, each requiring at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Landlord and mortgagee of cancellation, and shall also contain a provision exempting Landlord from any loss of coverage as an additional insured due to the acts of Tenant.

If Tenant fails to obtain the required insurance, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, obtain such insurance. In the event Landlord pays any premiums for insurance required to be obtained by Tenant hereunder, such premiums shall be additional rent immediately due and payable from Tenant to Landlord.

All of Tenant’s personal property, including trade fixtures, on the Premises shall be kept at Tenant’s sole risk.

Tenant shall deliver the Premises to Landlord free of Hazardous Materials and in conformity with CERCLA, HMTA, RCRA, ERA and all other applicable federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations upon expiration or termination of this Lease (regardless of whether resulting from early termination due to Tenant’s default, bankruptcy, condemnation or other non-Landlord triggered events).

Landlord may require Tenant to commission and pay for an environmental audit and deliver a written report of the audit results if Landlord reasonably suspects that Tenant has stored, generated or disposed of Hazardous Materials on, in or about the Premises or Common Areas in violation of applicable law.
