10. Alterations, Renovations and Improvements. Tenant shall not make any alterations, renovations or improvements to the Leased Premises without obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent to the plans and specifications therefor and the contractor(s) to be retained by Tenant to perform such work, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed in the case of cosmetic renovations that do not affect the structural elements of the improvements, the roof(s) of any buildings, or any of the Building Systems, but otherwise shall be in Landlord’s sole discretion. Prior to any contractor or subcontractor (of any tier) providing or furnishing any labor, materials, or services in connection with any alterations, renovations, or improvements, Tenant shall obtain and furnish to Landlord the name and address of each such contractor and subcontractor. In addition, prior to any such labor, materials, or services being provided or furnished, Tenant shall furnish to Landlord a mechanic’s lien waiver and notice to prevent lien in a form prescribed by Landlord, duly executed by each such contractor or subcontractor who will furnish or provide labor, materials, and/or services.

11. Signs. Tenant shall have the right to maintain the existing signage at the Real Property as of the Commencement Date and shall have the right to install additional signage that does not affect the structural elements of the improvements, the roof(s) of any buildings, or any of the Building Systems, provided, however, that all signage shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, and shall comply with all applicable Laws.

12. Surrender; Holdover. Tenant shall vacate and surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord at the expiration or sooner termination of the Lease Term and the same shall be in the same condition as Tenant is required to maintain the same during the Lease Term, free of all of Tenant’s personal property except as may otherwise be provided herein, “broom clean,” and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of the Lease. Tenant shall have no right to holdover beyond the expiration of the Lease Term. If Tenant continues to occupy the Leased Premises after the end of the Lease Term, such continued occupancy shall be deemed a tenancy-at-sufferance even if Landlord accepts any payment from Tenant, but in the event that a court of competent jurisdiction deems such acceptance of a payment to constitute acceptance of “rent”, such acceptance shall create no rights in Tenant beyond a tenancy-at-will under the terms and conditions stated herein but at a Base Rent rate equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Base Rent applicable immediately preceding the end of the Lease Term, plus all additional Rent, until (i) Tenant shall vacate the Leased Premises; (ii) the termination of the tenancy-at-will; or (iii) Landlord shall give notice of a different rental amount. Nothing contained in this Section shall be deemed to (a) constitute consent by Landlord to such occupancy or holdover by Tenant; (b) confer any rights on Tenant as more than a tenant-at-sufferance or, if Landlord accepts any rental payments applicable to such period of holding over, a tenant-at-will; or (c) relieve Tenant from liability for damages suffered by Landlord as a result of such holding over.

13. Removal of Tenant’s Property. Tenant’s trade fixtures, personal property, furniture and equipment, other than those items which are to remain or which Landlord elects to have remain at the Leased Premises as provided in Section 10 of this Lease, may be removed by Tenant at the termination of this Lease, provided (a) Tenant is not then be breach of any provision of this Lease; (b) such removal shall not cause any material damage to any portion of the Leased Premises, and any other damage created by such removal shall be repaired by Tenant at Tenant's expense prior to the expiration of the Lease Term to at least as good condition as existed when possession of the Leased Premises was delivered to Tenant; and (c) such removal shall be made before the termination of the Lease Term.

14. Subletting and Assignment. Tenant shall not assign this Lease, in whole or in part, or sublet the Leased Premises or any portion thereof, or encumber the leasehold interest created by this Lease in any manner without the prior written consent of Landlord, which may be withheld in Landlord’s sole discretion during the first twenty-four full calendar months of the Term, and thereafter will not be unreasonably withheld. No assignment or sublease shall operate to release Tenant from any of its obligations under this Lease. Each sublease of the Leased Premises or any portion thereof must contain a release of and waiver of claims against Landlord and the other Releasees (as that term is defined in this Lease), in form and content acceptable to Landlord, and must require the subtenant’s property insurer to issue in favor of Landlord and the other Releasees waiver of subrogation rights endorsements to all policies of property insurance carried in connection with the Leased Premises and the contents thereof. Every transfer by levy or sale on execution, or other legal process, every transfer in bankruptcy, every transfer by merger, consolidation, or by operation of Law, every transfer of a controlling interest in Tenant, and every transfer under any compulsory procedure or order of court shall be deemed to constitute an “assignment” within the meaning of this Lease. Any attempted assignment or sublease in violation of this Section shall, at Landlord’s option, be void and shall constitute a default under this Lease. Consent by Landlord to an assignment or sublease in one instance shall not operate to release the requirement that consent from Landlord be obtained for any further or subsequent assignment or sublease. Tenant shall pay all fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Landlord in connection with any proposed subletting or assignment, irrespective of whether Landlord’s consent is in fact granted.

In the event that Landlord makes the election to have Tenant rebuild or restore as provided in this clause (ii), all proceeds payable by reason of any Casualty under all applicable policies of insurance (whether Tenant is carrying such insurance, or Landlord has elected to do so as provided in this Lease) shall be paid to Landlord or its mortgagee, and such proceeds will be held by Landlord or its mortgagee in an interest-bearing account and, provided Tenant is not in breach of this Lease, shall be made available for rebuilding or restoring the improvements, and shall be paid by Landlord (or such mortgagee) from time- to-time during the progress of construction for the costs of such reconstruction or repair, all subject to and in accordance with reasonable terms, conditions, and construction disbursement procedures specified by Landlord and/or such mortgagee. Any excess proceeds of insurance (and accrued interest) remaining after the completion of the restoration or reconstruction of the Leased Premises shall be paid to Landlord.

(b) (Reserved.)

(c) Tenant shall be responsible for all insurance deductibles applicable to any Casualty affecting any of the improvements on the Real Property (including Building Systems).

(d) The provisions of this Section shall be subject and subordinate to the provisions of any mortgage now or hereafter placed upon the Real Property and the requirements of any mortgagee holding such mortgage.

19. Condemnation.

(a) “Condemnation” means any taking of title to or any interest in the Leased Premises or any part thereof or any other property used in connection with the Leased Premises (including for ingress, egress, parking, septic service, water supply or other services or utilities) by exercise of any right of eminent domain by, or by any similar proceeding or act of, any person having the power and legal authority to do so (or by purchase in lieu thereof). For the purposes of this definition, the effective date of any Condemnation shall be deemed to be the later of: (i) the date when title to the Leased Premises or part thereof or such other property is transferred by such proceeding or act of the condemning authority, and (ii) the date when Tenant o is no longer permitted to occupy the Leased Premises or to use such other property.

-13-

(b) “Substantial Condemnation” means any Condemnation that affects all or a substantial portion of the Leased Premises or any Condemnation that has or is reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on any business operations then being conducted on the Leased Premises. Tenant may waive its right to treat as a Substantial Condemnation any Condemnation that would otherwise qualify as such.

(d) If a Substantial Condemnation occurs, this Lease shall terminate upon the effective date of the Substantial Condemnation.

(e) If an Insubstantial Condemnation occurs, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect without reduction or abatement of Rent.

(f) In the event of any Condemnation, Landlord shall be entitled to receive and retain the amounts awarded for the Leased Premises, and Tenant shall be entitled to receive and retain any amounts which may be specifically awarded to it in any such condemnation proceedings because of its business loss or the taking of its trade fixtures, furniture, or other property.

20. Force Majeure. In any case where either party is required to perform any act pursuant to this Lease, except for Tenant’s monetary obligations hereunder, the time for the performance thereof shall be extended by a period of time equal to the period of any delay caused by or resulting from an act of God, war, civil commotion, fire or other casualty, labor difficulties, shortages of energy or labor, government regulations, or delays caused by one party to the other, whether such period be designated by a fixed date, a fixed time, or as a reasonable date or time.

21. Quiet Enjoyment. Tenant, on paying the Rent and performing and observing the covenants in this Lease, may hold and enjoy the Leased Premises for the Term without unreasonably interference from any person claiming by, through, or under Landlord, subject and subordinate to all provisions of this Lease.

22. Default.

(a) In the event that:

(i) Tenant shall fail to pay when due the Rent or any other sums payable hereunder when due and such failure remains uncured for five (5) days after Landlord delivers a default notice to Tenant for such failure to pay rent; or

-14-

(ii) any petition in bankruptcy shall be filed by Tenant or any guarantor hereof or other petition or proceeding shall be filed or commenced by Tenant or any guarantor hereof to declare Tenant insolvent, or to delay, reduce or modify Tenant’s or any such guarantor’s debts or obligations, or Tenant or any such guarantor admits its inability to pay its debts, or Tenant or any such guarantor makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

(iii) any bankruptcy petition or proceeding shall be filed against Tenant or any guarantor hereof or to otherwise declare Tenant or any guarantor hereof bankrupt or insolvent or to delay, reduce or modify Tenant’s or any such guarantor’s debts or obligations or a receiver, trustee or other similar type of appointment or court appointee or nominee is appointed for Tenant or any such guarantor or any of the property of Tenant or any such guarantor, and such petition, appointment or proceeding is not dismissed within sixty (60) days after it is commenced; or

(iv) the leasehold interest of Tenant is levied upon or attached by process of law, including the filing of any mechanic’s lien, and such levy, lien, or attachment is not dissolved within thirty (30) days after it is made; or

(v) Tenant shall abandon the Leased Premises during the Lease Term; or

(vi) Tenant shall assign this Lease or sublet any portion of the Leased Premises, or attempt to do either of the foregoing, in violation of this Lease; or

(vii) Tenant violates or fails to observe or comply with any Laws applicable to the Leased Premises, Tenant’s use thereof, or Tenant's operations, activities or conduct of business at or from the Leased Premises; or

(viii) any other event, occurrence, act, or omission described in any provision of this Lease as constituting a “default” or an “Event of Default” occurs;

(ix) Tenant shall neglect or fail to perform or observe any of the other covenants, terms, provisions or conditions contained in this Lease and, if the neglect or failure is capable of being cured, such neglect or failure continues for more than thirty (30) days after written notice thereof (provided, however, that if such neglect or failure is capable of being cured, but is not capable of being cured within said thirty (30) day period, then Tenant shall have such additional period of time, not to exceed an additional sixty (60) days, as is reasonably necessary to cure the same provided Tenant commences to cure within said thirty (30) day period and diligently and continuously prosecutes the cure to completion); or

(x) there is a default by Tenant under (A) that certain Lease Agreement of even or near date herewith between Tenant and 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, LLC pertaining to property located in the Town of Paris, County of Oxford, and State of Maine; and/or (B) that certain Lease Agreement of even or near date herewith between Tenant and 56 Mechanic Falls Road, LLC, pertaining to property located in the Town of Oxford, County of Oxford, and State of Maine, and any such default continues beyond the expiration of applicable notice and cure periods (if any), then, and in any of said cases (notwithstanding any license of any former breach of covenant or waiver of the benefit hereof or consent in a former instance), and without limitation of any other remedies that might be available to Landlord under this Lease, at law, or in equity, Landlord lawfully may, immediately or at any time thereafter, terminate this Lease by sending written notice of termination to Tenant, or, subject to compliance with applicable Laws, enter into and upon the Leased Premises or any part thereof in the name of the whole and repossess the same as of its former estate, and expel Tenant and those claiming through or under it and remove it or their effects without being deemed guilty of any manner of trespass, in each case without prejudice to any rights or remedies which might otherwise be available to Landlord for collection of Rent and other damages for breach of covenant, and upon entry as aforesaid or upon sending of such notice, this Lease shall terminate.

-15-

(b) Without limiting other remedies of Landlord at law or in equity for any breach of or on account of termination of this Lease, Tenant covenants that in case of such termination under sub-section (a) of this Section, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the unpaid Rent owed to Landlord through the time of termination, plus interest thereon at the rate of 18% per annum from the date the same was due until paid; and (ii) at the election of Landlord, either:

(1) the present value of a sum which, at the time of such termination of this Lease is equal to (A) the aggregate of the Rent which would have been payable by Tenant for the period commencing upon such termination of this Lease and continuing through the date this Lease would have terminated had there been no default by Tenant; minus (B) the fair market rental value of the Leased Premises (after deducting reasonable projections for Landlord’s costs and expenses of re-letting the Leased Premises, including advertising expenses, brokerage commissions, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and commercially reasonable costs of repairing, renovating, or otherwise altering the Leased Premises to suit the new tenant); or

(2) for the period of time commencing upon such termination of this Lease and continuing through the date this Lease would have terminated had there been no default by Tenant hereunder, the difference, if any, between the Rent which would have been due had there been no such termination and the amount being received by Landlord as rent from a replacement Tenant of Leased Premises, if any. In addition, Tenant shall pay to Landlord all costs and expenses of such re-letting, including advertising expenses, brokerage commissions, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and commercially reasonable costs of repairing, renovating, or otherwise altering the Leased Premises to suit the new tenant.

(c) If Tenant shall default in the performance or observance of any covenant, agreement, or condition in this Lease contained on its part to be performed or observed and shall not cure any such default as provided herein, Landlord may, at its option, without waiving any claim for damages or any other right or remedy for breach of this Lease, at any time thereafter, cure such default. Any amount paid or any liability incurred by Landlord in so doing shall be deemed paid or incurred for the account of Tenant, and Tenant agrees to immediately reimburse Landlord therefor, as additional Rent.

(d) Tenant shall pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Landlord in connection with the enforcement of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease.

-16-

(e) Landlord shall in no event be in default in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder unless and until Landlord shall have failed to perform, or failed diligently to attempt to perform, such obligations within thirty (30) days or such additional time as is reasonably required to correct any such default after notice by Tenant to Landlord properly specifying wherein Landlord has failed to perform any such obligation.

(f) In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant for incidental, consequential, or punitive damages in connection with any matter arising out of this Lease or the Leased Premises. Without in any way limiting or impairing the effect of the other provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall neither assert nor seek to enforce any claim arising out of this Lease or out of the use or occupancy of the Leased Premises against Landlord, its shareholders, directors, officers, employees, or agents, or any of its or their assets other than the value of Landlord’s interest in the Leased Premises and Tenant agrees to look solely to such interest and insurance coverage for the satisfaction of any claim arising out of this Lease or out of the use or occupancy of the Leased Premises.

23. Sale or Mortgage; Estoppel; Subordination.

(a) Nothing contained in this Lease shall limit Landlord's right to sell, mortgage, or otherwise encumber its fee interest in the Leased Premises, or affect Landlord's right to assign this Lease or the Rent payable under this Lease, whether as further security under a fee mortgage or otherwise. Any such assignment of this Lease or of the Rent payable under this Lease shall be honored by Tenant.

(b) In the event Landlord shall sell, transfer, or otherwise convey the Leased Premises, Landlord, upon the written assumption by the transferee of the obligations arising hereunder after the date of such transfer, shall be entirely freed and relieved of all covenants and obligations of Landlord hereunder. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall be construed to impair Tenant’s leasehold interest under this Lease so long as Tenant performs and observes the covenants and terms of this Lease on its part to be performed and observed.

(c) This Lease shall, at Landlord’s option, be subordinate to any ground lease, mortgage, deed of trust, or any other hypothecation or security now or hereafter placed upon the Leased Premises, and to any and all advances made on the security thereof and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof. Notwithstanding such subordination, Tenant's right to quiet possession of the Leased Premises shall not be disturbed if Tenant is not in default and so long as Tenant shall pay the Rent and observe and perform all of the provisions of this Lease. If any mortgagee, trustee, or ground lessor shall elect to have this Lease made prior to the lien of its mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, and shall give written notice thereof to Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage, deed of trust, or ground lease, whether this Lease is dated prior to or subsequent to the date of said mortgage, deed of trust, or ground lease or the date of recording thereof. Tenant agrees to execute any documents required to effectuate an attornment, a subordination, or to make this Lease prior to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or ground lease, as the case may be. Tenant's failure to execute such documents within ten (10) days after written demand shall constitute an Event of Default by Tenant hereunder.

-17-

(d) At any time, and from time to time, upon the written request of Landlord or any mortgagee or prospective purchaser of the Leased Premises, Tenant, within ten (10) business days after such written request, agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord and/or mortgagee, without charge, an estoppel certificate which shall contain (i) a certification that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect or, if modified, a statement of the nature of any such modification and a certification that this Lease, as so modified, is in full force and effect; (ii) a certification of the date to which the Rent payable by Tenant are paid (including any payments in advance); (iii) a certification that Tenant is not in default hereunder and that there are not, to Tenant's knowledge, any uncured events of default on the part of Landlord hereunder, or a specification of such events of default if any are claimed by Tenant; and (iv) such other commercially reasonable certifications as are identified in such request. Tenant's failure to deliver such estoppel certificate within the time frame set forth above shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute an Event of Default hereunder and shall, at Landlord’s option, be conclusive proof that this Lease is in full force and effect without modification except as may be represented by Landlord, that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord's performance of Landlord's obligations under this Lease, and that not more than one month's Rent has been paid in advance.

(e) If Landlord desires to finance, refinance, or sell the Leased Premises, Tenant hereby agrees to deliver to any lender or purchaser designated by Landlord, and cause any guarantor to so deliver, such financial statements and other financial information pertaining to Tenant and such guarantor as may be reasonably required by such lender or purchaser. Tenant's failure to provide such information or cause such information to be provided within ten (10) days after written demand shall constitute an Event of Default by Tenant hereunder.

24. Notices. Any notice, request, demand, approval or consent given or required to be given under this Lease shall be, unless otherwise stated, in writing and shall be deemed to have been given (i) when hand delivered to the other party; or (ii) on the day on which the same shall have been mailed by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, with all postage prepaid, or by Federal Express or similar nationally-recognized overnight courier service that provides evidence of delivery, to the address of the party to receive such notice as set forth in the preamble hereof, provided that either party may, by such manner of notice, add or substitute one or more persons or addresses for provision of such notice.

25. Tenant Representations.

(a) Neither Tenant nor any key personnel of Tenant nor any of Tenant’s underlying beneficial owners have engaged in any dealings or transactions, directly or indirectly, (i) in contravention of any U.S., international or other anti-money laundering regulations or conventions, including without limitation the United States Bank Secrecy Act, the United States Money Laundering Control Act of 1986, the United States International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001, Trading with the Enemy Act (50 U.S.C. §1 et seq., as amended), any foreign asset control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto, the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001, Public Law 107-56 and the regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “Patriot Act”), or any order issued with respect to anti-money laundering by the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”); or (ii) in contravention of Executive Order No. 13224 issued by the President of the United States on September 24, 2001 (Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), as may be amended or supplemented from time to time (“Executive Order 13224”); or (iii) on behalf of terrorists or terrorist organizations, including those persons or entities that are included on any relevant lists maintained by the United Nations, North Atlantic Treaty Organization, Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development, OFAC, Financial Action Task Force, U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission, U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or any country or organization, all as may be amended from time to time.

(c) Tenant represents that it has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Lease and the person executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant represents that he or she has all requisite power and authority to do so.

26. Miscellaneous Provisions.

(a) Invalidity of Particular Provisions. If any term or provision of this Lease, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision of this Lease shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(b) Governing Law. This Lease, and all claims or causes of action (whether arising in contract, in tort, or by statute) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Lease, shall be governed by and enforced in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Maine, including its statutes of limitations, without regard or reference to conflicts of law principles.

(c) Interpretation. Whenever the word “include,” “includes,” or “including” is used in this Lease, it is deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “this Lease,” “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder” and similar expressions refer to this Lease as a whole and not to any particular section of this Lease unless the context otherwise requires. The word “person” includes any individual, corporation, firm, association, partnership (general or limited), joint venture, limited liability company, trust, estate or other legal entity. The section and sub-section headings throughout this instrument are for convenience and reference only, and the words contained therein shall in no way be held to explain, modify, amplify, or aid in the interpretation, construction, or meaning of the provisions of this Lease. Whenever in this Lease provision is made for the doing of any act by any party, it is understood and agreed that said act shall be done by such party at its own cost and expense, unless a contrary intent is expressed.

-19-

(d) Entire Agreement; Binding Effect. All negotiations, considerations, representations, and understandings between Landlord and Tenant are incorporated herein and may be modified or altered only by agreement in writing between Landlord and Tenant, and no act or omission of any employee or agent of Landlord shall alter, change, or modify any of the provisions hereof. All rights, obligations and liabilities contained herein given to, or imposed upon, Landlord and Tenant shall extend to and bind the several respective administrators, trustees, receivers, legal representatives, successors, heirs and permitted assigns of Landlord and Tenant. If the “Tenant” under this Lease consists of more than one person or entity, each such person and/or entity shall be bound jointly and severally by the terms, covenants and agreements herein and jointly and severally liable for all obligations arising hereunder.

(e) Language. Words of any gender used in this instrument shall be held and construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular number shall be held to include the plural, unless the context otherwise requires.

(f) Recording; Notice of Lease. Landlord and Tenant agree that this Lease shall not be recorded. The parties agree that at the request of either party, they will execute, acknowledge, and deliver a notice or memorandum of this Lease in recordable form for recording in the Oxford County Registry of Deeds. The requesting party shall bear the expense of recording such notice or memorandum. The Memorandum of Lease shall not be construed to vary the terms and conditions hereof. Landlord and Tenant also agree that, upon the request of either party, they will execute, acknowledge, and deliver a commercially reasonable instrument in recordable form with respect to the termination date of this Lease.

(g) Timeliness of Landlord’s Notices. Landlord's failure during the Lease Term to prepare or deliver any of the statements, notices, or bills, or invoices for any sum payable by Tenant under this Lease shall not in any way cause Landlord to forfeit or surrender its rights to collect any amount that may have become due and owing from Tenant during the Lease Term.

(h) Waiver of Jury Trial. Tenant, for itself and its heirs, successors, and assigns, does hereby WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY in any action or proceeding based upon, or related to, the subject matter of this Lease. This waiver is knowingly, intentionally, and voluntarily made by Tenant and Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any person acting on behalf of Landlord has made any representations of fact to induce this waiver of trial by jury or in any way to modify or nullify its effect. Tenant further acknowledges that it has been represented (or has had the opportunity to be represented) in the signing of this Lease and in the making of this waiver by independent legal counsel, selected of its own free will, and that it has had the opportunity to discuss this waiver with counsel. Tenant further acknowledges that it has read and understands the meaning and ramifications of this waiver provision.
