SUBLEASE AGREEMENT

THIS SUBLEASE AGREEMENT (this "Sublease") is made as of this 1st day of August, 2024 (the "Effective Date") by and between TDG OPERATIONS, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company ("Sublandlord"), and AUSTAL USA, LLC, an Alabama limited liability company ("Subtenant").

WHEREAS, Sublandlord and Subtenant are parties to that certain Sublease Agreement dated June 26, 20231 and that certain Sublease Agreement dated July 19, 2023 (the "Existing Subleases"); and

WHEREAS, Sublandlord and Subtenant desire to terminate the Existing Subleases and enter into this Sublease, upon the terms set forth herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, Sublandlord and Subtenant hereby mutually covenant and agree as

follows:

1.0    Termination of Existing Subleases; Grant of New Sublease. The Existing Subleases are hereby terminated and replaced herewith. Sublandlord, for and in consideration of the rents herein reserved and of the covenants and agreements herein contained on the part of the Subtenant to be performed, hereby leases to Subtenant, and Subtenant hereby lets from Sublandlord, approximately 370,000 square feet of rentable space in the building (the "Building") commonly known as The Saraland Plant, located at 716 Bill Myles Drive, Saraland, Mobile County, Alabama, located on the land legally described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the "Land") as shown on the drawing identified as Exhibit B attached hereto (the "Subleased Premises"), along with the exclusive use and access control to east side fenced and gated parking area approximately 3.5 acres shown on such Exhibit B. Subtenant shall be granted non-exclusive rights to utilize the driveways, sidewalks and automobile parking areas on west side of Building with the exception of designated parking reserved for Sublandlord as noted in Exhibit B.

1.1    The term of this Sublease (the "Term") shall commence on the date possession of the Subleased Premises shall be delivered to Subtenant in accordance with Section 8.1. below (hereinafter referred to as the "Commencement Date"), which Commencement Date shall be confirmed in writing acknowledged by Sublandlord and Subtenant. The total Tenn shall include ten (10) one-year rental term periods, as defined in section 3.0 of this sublease agreement. Each one-year rental term period shall automatically renew for a new consecutive one-year rental term period, under the rental terms as defined in section 3.0 of this sublease agreement, and such automatic renewal shall end ten (10) years and three (3) months after the Commencement Date, unless an event of default has occurred and is continuing, Subtenant shall have the right and option to extend the initial Term of this Sublease for one (1) additional period of four (4) years (a "Renewal Tenn"), exercisable by written notice to Sublandlord no less than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to expiration of the then current lease term. If so exercised, the initial Term together with the Renewal Term, will become the "Term." Base rent during the Renewal Term will continue to be subject to the two (2) percent annual escalations set forth in Section 3.0 below.

1.2    Primary Lease. Saraland Industrial, LLC, an Alabama limited liability company (the "Landlord"), is the owner of fee simple title to the Land and leases the Building and Land to Sublandlord pursuant to that certain Lease Agreement dated January 14, 2019 between the Landlord and Sublandlord (the "Primary Lease"). Subtenant acknowledges and agrees that it has read and agrees to comply with the terms of the Primary Lease.    

2.0    Purpose. The Subleased Premises shall be used and occupied by Subtenant only for the purpose of equipment storage and other incidental uses in connection therewith.

2.1    Uses Prohibited. Subtenant will not permit the Subleased Premises to be used in any manner which would render the insurance thereon, or on the Building, void or the insurance risk more hazardous. Subtenant shall not use or occupy the Subleased Premises, or permit the Subleased Premises to be used or occupied, contrary to any statute, rule, order, ordinance, requirement or regulation applicable thereto; or in any manner which would violate any certificate of occupancy affecting the same; or which would cause structural injury to the improvements; or cause the value or usefulness of the Subleased Premises, or any part thereof, to diminish; or which would constitute a public or private nuisance or waste.

3.0     Rent. The first three (3) months of the Sublease following the Commencement Date shall be free of base rent, and payments of base rental shall commence on the date that is three (3) months following the Commencement Date (the "Rent Commencement Date"). Beginning on the Rent Commencement Date, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord an annual base rental as follows:

The base rental is inclusive of and deemed to cover a proportionate share of the real property taxes, insurance, utilities and maintenance costs. All such costs are managed and paid directly by Sublandlord. As set forth in Exhibit E, should certain costs increase above the amount included in the budget, Sublandlord reserves the right to collect additional rent to cover the Subtenant's proportional share of such costs as further described in Exhibit E. Such additional rent shall be due in equal monthly installments commencing on the rent payment date that follows the 60-day notice period of cost overruns as described in Exhibit E, and thereafter shall be due in advance and without demand on the first day of each calendar month during the Term, for so long as cost overruns are occurring.

3.1    Time of Payment. Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord (at such address as Sublandlord shall designate in writing from time to time) monthly in advance, without demand, a sum equal to one-twelfth of the annual base rental, with the first such payment being made on the Rent Commencement Date and subsequent payments on or before the first (1st) day of each calendar month thereafter. All payments of rent shall be made without deduction, set off, discount or abatement in lawful money of the United States. Subtenant may elect to pay the base rental by electronic funds transfer. If the Rent Commencement Date is not the first day of a calendar month, the monthly rent payment for the first and last partial months hereof shall be pro-rated based on the actual number of days during each such month that this Sublease is in effect.    

3.2    Interest on Late Payments. Each and every installment of base rent and each payment of additional rent or other sum due hereunder from Subtenant to Sublandlord which shall not be paid within ten     (10) days of its due date shall bear interest at the prime rate announced from time to time by The Wall Street Journal plus three (3%) percent (the "Default Rate") per annum, from the date when the same is payable under the terms of this Sublease until paid.

IV.    TAXES

4.0    Taxes. The Subtenant will pay promptly when due, and indemnify and hold the Sublandlord and Landlord harmless from, all personal property taxes on personal property of the Subtenant on the Subleased Premises, all taxes, assessments, fees or charges now or hereafter imposed or assessed against or in respect of the Subtenant's occupancy of the Subleased Premises, and all federal, state and local income taxes, sales taxes, use taxes, Social Security taxes, unemployment taxes and taxes withheld from wages or salaries paid to the Subtenant's employees, the nonpayment of which might give rise to a lien on the Subleased Premises or the Subtenant's interest therein, and to furnish, if requested by the Sublandlord or Landlord, evidence of such payments. The Subtenant will cause the Subtenant's property to be assessed and billed separately from the real and personal property of the Sublandlord. If, for any reason, all or any part of the Subtenant's property will be assessed or taxed with the Sublandlord's real or personal property, the Subtenant will pay to the Sublandlord the Subtenant's share of such taxes upon delivery by the Sublandlord to the Subtenant of a statement in writing setting forth the amount of such taxes applicable to the Subtenant's property.

V.    INSURANCE

5.0     Types of Insurance to be Maintained by Sublandlord. At all times during the Term, Sublandlord shall obtain and keep in full force and effect at least the following insurance coverages:

Landlord, and its mortgagees as additional insureds in such amount and in such form as Sublandlord shall reasonably determine but in no event less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence; and

(c)    worker's compensation insurance in amounts required by applicable law or statute covering all personnel employed in connection with any work done on or about the Subleased Premises with respect to which claims for death or bodily injury could be asserted against Landlord, Sublandlord, Subtenant, or the Subleased Premises.

5.2    Form of Insurance. The aforesaid insurance shall be in companies and in form, substance and amount (where not stated above) satisfactory to Landlord, Sublandlord and any mortgagee, and shall contain standard mortgage clauses satisfactory to Landlord/Sublandlord's mortgagee. The aforesaid insurance shall not be subject to cancellation except after at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice to Landlord and Sublandlord and any mortgagee holding a first or second lien on the Subleased Premises. The original insurance policies (or manually executed certificates thereof reasonably satisfactory to Landlord/Sublandlord) together with satisfactory evidence of payment of the premiums thereon, shall be deposited with Sublandlord at the Commencement Date and renewals thereof not less than thirty (30) days prior to the end of the term of each such coverage.

5.3    Mutual Waiver of Subrogation Rights. Whenever (a) any loss, cost, damage or expense resulting from fire, explosion or any other casualty or occurrence is incurred by either of the parties to this Sublease in connection with the Subleased Premises, and (b) such party is then covered in whole or in part by insurance with respect to such loss, cost, damage or expense, then the party so insured hereby releases the other party from any liability it may have on account of such loss, cost, damage or expense to the extent of any amount recovered by reason of such insurance and waives any right of subrogation which might otherwise exist in or accrue to any person on account thereof, provided that such release of liability and waiver of the right of subrogation shall not be operative in any case where the effect thereof is to invalidate such insurance coverage.    

VI.    DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

6.0    Sublandlord's Obligation to Rebuild; Termination Right. In the event of damage to or destruction of the Subleased Premises, in whole or in part, Subtenant promptly shall notify Sublandlord. If the damage or destruction renders less than 95% of the Subleased Premises useable due to fire or other casualty, Sublandlord shall apply the insurance proceeds from the policies described in Section 5.0(a) above, to repair, restore or rebuild the unusable portion; provided, such insurance proceeds must be sufficient to cover the cost and the Subleased Premises must be able to be restored to Subtenant within one hundred twenty (120) days of notice from Subtenant of the event. Rent shall be reduced or abated, in proportion to the percentage of the Subleased Premises rendered unusable by the casualty or repair, restoration, or rebuilding, during the period of such repair, restoration or rebuilding to the extent such damage or destruction is not due to Subtenant's negligence or willful misconduct. If Sublandlord does not (i) commence the repairs or rebuilding of the Subleased Premises within forty-five (45) days of notice from Subtenant of the event causing the damage, or (ii) complete the repair, restoration or rebuilding of the Subleased Premises within one hundred twenty (120) days of notice from Subtenant of the event causing the damage, then Subtenant shall have the right to terminate this Sublease and be relived of all further obligations hereunder. If a fire, explosion or other casualty renders less than 95% of the Subleased Premises useable or if any level of damage to the Subleased Premises could not be rebuilt within one hundred twenty (120) days of notice from Subtenant of the event causing the damage, either party may terminate this Sublease within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the event causing the damage.

6.1    Excess Insurance Proceeds. Any excess of money received from insurance proceeds after the repair or rebuilding of the Subleased Premises shall be retained by the Sublandlord, except to the extent

that proceeds from insurance coverage described in Section 5.0l(a) are required to meet Subtenant's obligations under Section 6.2. in which event such excess proceeds shall be paid to Subtenant upon completion of such obligations.

6.2    Subtenant's Obligation to Rebuild. In the event of damage to or destruction of interior leasehold improvements of the Subleased Premises, Subtenant shall promptly repair, restore, rebuild, or replace them; provided, however, that if either party terminates this Sublease pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.0, then Subtenant shall be entitled to keep the insurance proceeds from coverage described in Section 5.l(a).

6.3    Landlord/Lender Provisions. The provisions of Articles V and VI shall apply to the extent they are consistent with the terms of the Primary Lease and Sublandlord's mortgage financing. If Landlord or any mortgagees require a different treatment of the insurance policy proceeds, such requirements shall be controlling.

VII.    CONDEMNATION

7.0    Taking of Whole. If the all of the Subleased Premises shall be taken or condemned for a public or quasi-public use or purpose by any competent authority, or if such a significant portion of the Subleased Premises or the parking areas serving the Building is so taken that the balance of the Subleased Premises cannot be used for the same purpose as expressed in Article II above, then and in either of such events this Sublease shall terminate when possession of the Subleased Premises shall be so taken and surrendered. Subtenant shall continue to pay rent and additional rent through the date of such termination.

7.1    Partial Taking. If only a part of the Subleased Premises or the parking areas serving the Building shall be so taken or condemned, and as a result thereof the balance of the Subleased Premises can be used for the same purpose as expressed in Article II above, this Sublease shall not terminate, and Sublandlord, to the extent of the net amount of Award (as defined below), after deducting all of Landlord's and Sublandlord's reasonable expenses incurred in connection with the condemnation, shall repair and restore the Subleased Premises and parking areas. Any portion of such Award not expended for such repairing or restoration shall be retained by the Landlord or Sublandlord, as applicable. Rent shall abate or be reduced in the same proportion as the area of the Subleased Premises taken or condemned bears to the area of the Subleased Premises before such taking or condemnation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.1, if there is a partial taking or condemnation of five percent (5%) or more of the Subleased Premises, then at Subtenant's option and on thirty (30) days prior written notice to Sublandlord, this Sublease shall terminate on the date of such partial taking or condemnation.

7.2    Temporary Taking. No temporary taking of the Subleased Premises shall terminate this Sublease or give Subtenant any right to any rental abatement, unless such temporary taking is longer than 5 business days, in which case Rent shall abate or be reduced for the duration of such taking and in the same proportion as the area of the Subleased Premises taken bears to the area of the Subleased Premises before such taking. Such a temporary taking will be treated as if Subtenant had sublet the Subleased Premises to the condemner and had assigned the proceeds of the subletting to Sublandlord to be applied on account of Subtenant's obligations hereunder. Any award for such a temporary taking during the Term shall be applied first, to Sublandlord's costs of collection and, second, on account of sums owing by Subtenant hereunder, and if such amounts applied on account of sums owing by Subtenant hereunder should exceed the entire amount owing by Subtenant for the remainder of the Term, the excess will paid to Subtenant.

7.3    Damages. All compensation, awards or damages for any condemnation of all or any part of the Subleased Premises (the "Award"), including without limitation all damages as compensation for diminution in value of the leasehold, reversion and fee of the Subleased Premises, shall belong to the

Sublandlord, and Subtenant hereby assigns to Sublandlord all its right, title and interest to any such Award. Subtenant shall have the right to separately claim from the condemning authority, only if awarded in addition to the Award, such other compensation as may be separately awarded to or recovered by Subtenant by reason of the condemnation and for or on account of cost or loss which Subtenant might incur in removing Subtenant's stored merchandise, its own equipment, furniture and trade fixtures, provided in no event shall the Award to Sublandlord be reduced or otherwise diminished thereby.

a)    Delivery of Possession; Condition: The date Sublandlord shall deliver possession of the Subleased Premises to Subtenant, shall be the Commencement Date. Prior to such delivery, the Subleased Premises shall be in broom-swept, tenantable condition.

b)    Punchlist Inspection: Sublandlord and subtenant, having performed a joint inspection of the Subleased Premises and provided written memorandum (attached as Exhibit C) with respect to condition of the Subleased premises and agreed upon matters of repair (heretofore referred to as "Sublandlord's Improvement Work"), agree that such memorandum accurately represents the condition of the Subleased Premises at the Effective Date. Such matters of repair as agreed upon in the memorandum are to be performed by the Sublandlord at its sole cost and expense and in a manner so as not to interfere unreasonably with the use and occupancy of the Subleased Premises by Subtenant for the conduct of its business operations. If Sublandlord fails to remedy such matters or defects as presented in the memorandum, and within the timeline agreed upon in the memorandum, subject to extension due to any delays caused by Sublandlord or force majeure, then Subtenant shall have the right to terminate the lease agreement.

c)    Subtenant's Right of Entry: Subtenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right to enter upon the Subleased Premises after the Effective Date to perform certain work, including Subtenant's Improvement Work (as defined below) and the installation of trade fixtures and personal property; provided that Subtenant shall perform such work in a manner such that there shall be no unreasonable delay in the performance of Sublandlord's Improvement Work, but Subtenant shall not be obligated to pay any rent or other amount to Sublandlord prior to the Rent Commencement Date, unless Subtenant shall commence its business operations.

8.2    Subtenant Improvements. Subtenant shall provide Sublandlord and Landlord with prior written notice and a description of all improvements to be made to the Subleased Premises by Subtenant. Sublandlord and Landlord shall have ten (10) business days from receipt of said notice to approve or disapprove such proposed improvements, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any improvements, alterations, and renovations to the Subleased Premises by Subtenant pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall, at Sublandlord's or Landlord's election given in writing to Subtenant at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Term hereof, or with Sublandlord's notice of any earlier termination hereof, either be removed by Subtenant or remain on the Subleased Premises; provided, however, that Subtenant shall have the right to remove prior to such expiration or termination, its trade fixtures and other personal property. The provisions of this Section 8.2 apply to signs placed on the Subleased Premises by Subtenant, except for signs which are located wholly within the Subleased Premises and not visible from the exterior of the Subleased Premises. All signs installed by Subtenant shall be maintained by Subtenant in good condition and Subtenant shall remove all such signs at the termination of this Sublease and shall repair any damage caused by such installation, existence or removal

8.3    This Section Intentionally Left Blank

8.4    Maintenance Responsibility of Sublandlord. Sublandlord shall be responsible for keeping and maintaining the Land, the roof, structural members, and exterior walls of the Building in substantially the same order and repair as exists on the Commencement Date, except for ordinary wear and tear and loss by fire or other casualty. Sublandlord shall maintain the driveways, parking areas, any curbing, and landscaping on the Land.

Sublandlord shall have the right to close all or any portions of the common areas to such extent as may, in the opinion of Sublandlord's counsel, be legally sufficient to prevent a dedication thereof or the accrual of any rights to any person or the public therein and to close temporarily, if necessary any part of the common areas in order to discourage non-customer parking to permit alterations at existing buildings and other improvements or the construction of additional buildings for other improvements.

8.5    Maintenance Responsibility of Subtenant. Subtenant, at its expense, will keep and maintain the Subleased Premises (not including the roof, structural members, concrete flooring and exterior walls of the Building, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and sprinkler systems serving the Subleased Premises unless any damage thereto is caused by Subtenant's operations or the installation and/or removal of Subtenant's equipment or fixtures), any Subtenant Improvements and any altered, rebuilt, additional or substituted improvements, accessories and components appurtenant thereto, in good repair and appearance (substantially equivalent as they are on the Commencement Date). Any equipment replaced hereunder shall be free of any liens and shall become the property of Sublandlord upon installation.

So long as Sublandlord complies with Subtenant's access procedures, as presented in Exhibit D included with this Sublease, Sublandlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, upon three (3) days prior written notice to Subtenant (or without any notice whatsoever in the case of emergency), to enter upon the Subleased Premises for the purpose of making any repairs thereto and performing any work thereon, which may be necessary by reason of Subtenant's failure to make any such repairs or perform any such maintenance work as provided for in this Section 8.5. Except in the case of emergencies, the privilege and right of entry shall be exercised at reasonable times and at reasonable hours. The cost of any such entry, together with the costs of all such repairs and maintenance work, shall be additional rent hereunder, and Subtenant shall pay the same to Sublandlord, immediately upon written demand therefor and upon submission of satisfactory evidence of Sublandlord' s payment of such costs, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the time of payment by Sublandlord until paid by Subtenant.

Subtenant shall take good care of the Subleased Premises and keep the same free from waste at all times. Subtenant shall store all trash and garbage within the Subleased Premises, arranging for the regular pickup of such trash and garbage at Subtenant's expense. Receiving and delivering of goods and merchandise and removal of garbage and trash shall be made only in the manner and areas prescribed by Sublandlord. Subtenant shall not operate an incinerator or bum trash or garbage within the Subleased Premises or any Common Area.

8.6    AS IS, WHERE IS. Sublandlord is unaware of any material defects in the Subleased Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing and as a material part of the consideration for this Sublease, Sublandlord and Subtenant agree that Subtenant is taking the Subleased Premises "AS IS, WHERE IS" with any and all latent and patent defects and further agree that there is no warranty by Sublandlord that the Subleased Premises are fit for any particular purpose or use. Subtenant acknowledges that Subtenant is not relying upon any representations, statements, or other assertions of Sublandlord or any party acting on behalf of Sublandlord, with respect to the condition of the Subleased Premises, but rather is relying on Subtenant's examination of the Subleased Premises. Subtenant takes the Subleased Premises with the express understanding that there are no express or implied warranties made by Sublandlord.

9.0    Consent Required. Subtenant shall not assign this Sublease, or sublet any portion of the Subleased Premises without the written consent of Sublandlord which shall not be unreasonably withheld, along with the consent of Landlord, to the extent required and according to the conditions established by the Primary Lease. No assignment or subletting permitted hereunder shall relieve Subtenant of Subtenant's obligations hereunder, and Subtenant shall continue to be liable as a principal and not as a guarantor or surety to the same extent as though no assignment or subletting had been made. In the event of any termination of this Sublease, any permitted sublease or assignment shall be deemed immediately terminated and of no further force or effect. Any sublease or assignment made in violation of this Sublease shall be deemed void and of no force or effect. Subtenant shall pay, within ten (10) days of receipt of an invoice, Sublandlord's reasonable attorneys' fees and costs in connection with the review, processing and documentation of any transfer for which Sublandlord's consent is required.

9.1    Other Transfer of Lease. Subtenant shall not allow or permit any transfer of this Sublease, or any interest hereunder, by operation of law, or convey, mortgage, pledge, or encumber this Sublease or any interest herein.

9.2    [Intentionally deleted.]

10.0    Encumbering Title. Subtenant shall not do any act which shall in any way encumber the title of Landlord or Sublandlord in and to the Subleased Premises, nor shall the interest or estate of Landlord or Sublandlord in the Subleased Premises be in any way subject to any claim by way of lien or encumbrance, whether by operation of law or by virtue of any express or implied contract by Subtenant. Any claim to, or lien upon, the Subleased Premises arising from any act or omission of Subtenant shall accrue only against the leasehold estate of Subtenant and shall be subject and subordinate to the paramount title and rights of Landlord and Sublandlord in and to the Subleased Premises.

10.1    Liens and Right to Contest. Subtenant shall not permit the Building, Land or the Subleased Premises to become subject to any mechanics', laborers' or materialmen's lien on account of labor or material furnished to Subtenant or claimed to have been furnished to Subtenant in connection with work of any character performed or claimed to have been performed on the Subleased Premises by, or at the direction or sufferance of, Subtenant; provided, however, that Subtenant shall have the right to contest in good faith and with reasonable diligence, the validity of any such lien or claimed lien if Subtenant shall give to Sublandlord such security as may be deemed satisfactory to Landlord and Sublandlord to insure payment thereof and to prevent any sale, foreclosure, or forfeiture of the Building, Land or the Subleased Premises by reason of non-payment thereof; provided further, however, that on final determination of the lien or claim for lien, Subtenant shall immediately pay any judgment rendered, with all proper costs and charges, and shall have the lien released and any judgment satisfied.

11.0    Utilities. The cost of all utility services, including water and electricity are included within the base rent and shall be paid by Sublandlord.

12.0    Subtenant's Indemnity Obligations. Subtenant will protect, indemnify and save harmless Landlord and Sublandlord and Landlord and Sublandlord's agents from and against all liabilities, obligations,

claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against Landlord and Sublandlord by reason of (a) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring on or about the Subleased Premises that are caused by the gross negligence or willful acts of Subtenant, its employees, agents or contractors; (b) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring in or about the Building, the parking areas, or the adjoining properties, sidewalks, curbs, streets or ways that are caused by the gross negligence or willful acts of Subtenant, its employees, agents or contractors; or (c) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property by or on behalf of Subtenant in respect of the Subleased Premises or Subtenant's parking area or any part thereof. In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought against Landlord or Sublandlord and/or Landlord or Sublandlord's agents by reason of any such occurrence, Subtenant, at Subtenant's expense, will resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding, or cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel approved by Landlord and Sublandlord as applicable. Subtenant's obligations pursuant to this Section 12,0 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Sublease.

12.1    Sublandlord's Indemnity Obligations. Sublandlord will protect, indemnify and save harmless Subtenant and Subtenant's agents from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against Subtenant by reason of any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring on or about the Subleased Premises or in or about the Building, the parking areas, or the adjoining properties, sidewalks, curbs, streets or ways that are caused by the gross negligence or willful acts of Landlord or Sublandlord, and their respective employees, agents or contractors. In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought against Subtenant and/or Subtenant's agents by reason of any such occurrence, Sublandlord, at Sublandlord's expense, will resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding, or cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel approved by Subtenant. Sublandlord's obligations pursuant to this Section 12.1 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Sublease.

13.0    Inspection. So long as Sublandlord or Sublandlord's agent follows the same access procedures set forth in Section 8.5, Landlord, Landlord's agent, Sublandlord or Sublandlord's agent may enter the Subleased Premises at any time, upon reasonable notice to Subtenant, for the purpose of inspecting same or of making repairs which Subtenant may neglect or refuse to make in accordance with the covenants and agreements of this Sublease, and also for the purpose of showing the Subleased Premises to persons wishing to purchase or mortgage the same, at any time during the Term, or, during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, to persons wishing to rent the Subleased Premises. Subtenant shall permit the usual notice of "To Let" or "For Sale" to be placed on the Subleased Premises and to remain thereon without molestation.

14.0    Quiet Enjoyment. So long as Subtenant is not in default under the covenants and agreements of this Sublease, Subtenant's quiet and peaceable enjoyment of the Subleased Premises shall not be disturbed or interfered with by Sublandlord or by any person claiming by, through or under Sublandlord.

15.0    Rules and Regulations. In the event the Sublandlord has multiple subtenants within the subleased property, it may become necessary to establish formal, reasonable Rules and Regulations for the Subleased Premises. Subtenant, for itself, its agents and employees agrees to comply with the Rules and

Regulations for the Subleased Premises which Sublandlord may hereinafter from time to time promulgate for the care and protection of the Subleased Premises and the safety, comfort and welfare of its occupants by giving Subtenant written notice of such promulgation. If any such Rules and Regulations conflict with any of the provisions of this Sublease, this Sublease shall control. Sublandlord shall not be liable for the failure of any other person to comply with such Rules and Regulations unless such failure was due to Sublandlord's gross negligence or willful acts.

16.0    Subordination. The rights and interest of Subtenant under this Sublease shall be subject and subordinate to any mortgage or trust deed that may be placed upon the Subleased Premises and to any and all advances to be made thereunder, and to the interest thereon, and all renewals, replacements and extensions thereof. At the request of any current or future mortgagee, Subtenant and mortgagee shall execute a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in the form and with the provisions customarily used by the mortgagee.

17.0    Surrender. Upon the termination of this Sublease, whether by forfeiture, lapse of time or otherwise, or upon the termination of Subtenant's right to possession of the Subleased Premises, Subtenant will at once surrender and deliver up the Subleased Premises, together with all improvements thereon, to Sublandlord in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Said improvements shall include, but not be limited to, all plumbing, lighting, electrical, heating, cooling and ventilating fixtures and equipment and all duct work. All additions, hardware, non-trade fixtures and all improvements, temporary or permanent (except the additional overhead lighting installed by Subtenant if removed on or before the expiration or other termination of this Sublease) in or upon the Subleased Premises placed there by Subtenant shall become Sublandlord's property and shall remain upon the Subleased Premises upon such termination of this Sublease by lapse of time or otherwise, without compensation or allowance or credit to Subtenant, unless Sublandlord requests their removal in writing at or before the time of such termination of this Sublease. If Sublandlord so requests removal of said additions, hardware, non-trade fixtures and improvements and Subtenant does not make such removal at said termination of this Sublease, or within ten (10) days after such request, whichever is later, Sublandlord may remove the same, and Subtenant on demand shall pay all costs associated with such removal to Sublandlord, together with the cost of repairing any injury or damage to the Subleased Premises or the Building caused by such removal.

17.1    Removal of Subtenant's Property. Upon the termination of this Sublease by lapse of time, Subtenant shall remove Subtenant's trade fixtures, equipment and other personal property; provided, however, that Subtenant shall repair and restore any injury or damage to the Subleased Premises which may result from such removal. If Subtenant does not remove such trade fixtures, equipment and personal property prior to the end of the Term, Sublandlord may, at its option, remove the same, and Subtenant shall pay the cost of such removal (including the repair of any injury or damage to the Subleased Premises resulting from such removal) to Sublandlord on demand, or Sublandlord may treat such property as having been conveyed to Sublandlord under this Sublease as a Bill of Sale without further payment or credit by Sublandlord to Subtenant.

17.2    Holding Over. Any holding over by Subtenant of the Subleased Premises after the expiration of this Sublease shall operate and be construed to be a tenancy from month to month only, at a monthly rental of 120% of rent payable under the Lease for the last month thereof.

18.0    Sublandlord Defaults. If Sublandlord defaults in the performance of any of its obligations under this Sublease, Subtenant will notify Sublandlord of the default in writing and Sublandlord will have 30 days after receiving such notice to cure the default. If Sublandlord is not reasonably able to cure the default within a 30 day period, Sublandlord will have an additional reasonable period of time to cure the default (but in no event more than 60 days) as long as Sublandlord commences the cure within the 30 day period and thereafter diligently pursues the cure. In no event is Sublandlord liable to Subtenant or any other person for consequential, special or punitive damages, including, without limitation, lost profits. If Sublandlord shall fail to cure such default within the additional 60-day period, Sublandlord shall be in default under this Sublease and Subtenant may, at Subtenant's sole discretion, perform the obligation on behalf and at the expense of Sublandlord, pay any sum necessary for the performance, and deduct the cost thereof (together with interest at the Default Rate) from the base rent and additional rent or other sum that is due or that will become due under this Sublease.

18.1    Subtenant Defaults. Subtenant agrees that the occurrence of any one or more of the following events shall be considered an "Event of Default" by Subtenant hereunder:

(a)    Subtenant shall default in any monthly payment of rent, or payment of additional rent or other payment required to be made by Subtenant hereunder when such payment is due and such default shall continue for ten (10) days after Subtenant's receipt of written notice of such default from Sublandlord, provided, however, that Sublandlord need not give such notice and Subtenant shall not have such time to cure more than twice during any calendar year; or

(b)    Subtenant shall default in any of the other covenants and agreements herein contained to be kept, observed and performed by Subtenant, and such default shall continue for thirty (30) days after notice thereof in writing to Subtenant; provided that if such default cannot, with due diligence, be cured within such period of thirty (30) days, and if Subtenant prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) days commences to eliminate the cause of such default and proceeds diligently and with reasonable dispatch to take all steps and do all work required to cure such default and does so cure such default, then Sublandlord shall not have the right to declare the said term ended by reason of such default or to repossess without terminating the Lease; provided, however, in no event shall Subtenant have more than 60 days to cure any such default.

(c)    Subtenant shall fail to contest the validity of any lien or claimed lien and give security to Sublandlord to insure payment thereof, or having commenced to contest the same and having given such security, shall fail to prosecute such contest with diligence, or shall fail to have the same released and satisfy any judgment rendered thereon, and such default continues for twenty (20) days after notice thereof in writing to Subtenant; or

(e)    Subtenant shall be adjudged a bankrupt, or a decree or order approving, as properly filed, a petition or answer asking reorganization of Subtenant under the Federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter amended, or under the laws of any State, shall be entered, and any such decree or judgment or order shall not have been vacated or stayed or set aside within sixty (60) days from the date of the entry or granting thereof; or

(f)    Subtenant shall file or admit the jurisdiction of the court and the material allegations contained in any petition in bankruptcy, or any petition pursuant or purporting to be pursuant to the Federal bankruptcy laws now or hereafter amended, or Subtenant shall institute any proceedings or shall give its

consent to the institution of any proceedings for any relief of Subtenant under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws or any laws relating to the relief of debtors, readjustment of indebtedness, reorganization, arrangements, composition or extension; or

(g)    Subtenant shall make any assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver for Subtenant or any of the property of Subtenant; or

(h)    A decree or order appointing a receiver of the property of Subtenant shall be made and such decree or order shall not have been vacated, stayed or set aside within sixty (60) days from the date of entry or granting thereof; or

(i)    Subtenant shall take or fail to take any action that causes Sublandlord to be in default under the Primary Lease that is not cured within the notice and cure period outlined in the Primary Lease provided Sublandlord delivers notice thereof in writing to Subtenant.

18.2    Sublandlord's Rights in Event of Default. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Sublandlord may, at its option, elect to pursue any one or more of the following remedies:

(a)    Terminate this Sublease, without further notice except as may be required by law, at which time, Sublandlord may re-enter the Subleased Premises, using such force as may be permitted by law, and remove all persons, fixtures, and chattels therefrom and Sublandlord shall not be liable for any damages resulting therefrom. Such re-entry and repossession shall not work a forfeiture of the rents to be paid and the covenants to be performed by Subtenant during the full Term. Upon such repossession of the Subleased Premises, all of the obligations and responsibilities of the parties under this Sublease shall terminate except for those that expressly survive the termination of this Sublease, and Subtenant shall continue to be responsible for payment of base rent.

(b)    Without terminating this Sublease, repossess the Subleased Premises by forcible entry or detainer suit or otherwise without demand or notice of any kind to Subtenant (except as hereinabove expressly provided for) and without terminating this Sublease, in which event Sublandlord may, but shall be under no obligation to do so, relet all or any part of the Subleased Premises for such rent and upon such terms as shall be reasonably satisfactory to Sublandlord (including the right to relet the Subleased Premises for a term greater or lesser than that remaining under the Term, and the right to relet the Subleased Premises as a part of a larger area, and the right to change the character or use made of the Subleased Premises). For the purpose of such reletting, Sublandlord may decorate or make any repairs, changes, alterations or additions in or to the Subleased Premises that may be necessary or convenient. If Sublandlord does not relet the Subleased Premises, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord on demand as liquidated damages and not as a penalty a sum equal to the value of the rent, and other sums provided herein to be paid by Subtenant for the remainder of the Term, and in the event the Subleased Premises are relet during any of such remaining term, and Subtenant has paid all amounts due hereunder, Sublandlord shall reimburse Subtenant for the value of rent previously paid by Subtenant for such period. If the Subleased Premises are relet and a sufficient sum shall not be realized from such reletting after paying all of the expenses of such decorations, repairs, changes, alterations, additions, the expenses of such reletting and the collection of the rent accruing therefrom (including, but not by way of limitation, attorneys' fees and brokers' commissions), to satisfy the rent herein provided to be paid for the remainder of the Term, Subtenant shall pay to Sublandlord on demand any deficiency and Subtenant agrees that Sublandlord may file suit to recover any sums falling due under the terms of this Section from time to time. At all times, Sublandlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages, including commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Subleased Premises or using the Subleased Premises for itself.

18.3    Remedies Cumulative. Unless expressly stated otherwise in this Sublease, no remedy herein or otherwise conferred upon or reserved to Sublandlord or Subtenant shall be considered to exclude or suspend any other remedy but the same shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute, and every power and remedy given by this Sublease to Sublandlord or Subtenant may be exercised from time to time and as often as occasion may rise or as may be deemed expedient. No delay or omission of Sublandlord or Subtenant to exercise any right or power arising from any default, shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or any acquiescence therein. Neither the rights herein given to Sublandlord to receive, collect, sue for or distrain for any rent or rents, moneys or payments, or to enforce the terms, provisions and conditions of this Sublease, or to prevent the breach or non-observance thereof, or the exercise of any such right or of any other right or remedy hereunder or otherwise granted or arising, shall in any way affect or impair or toll the right or power of Sublandlord to declare the Term hereby granted ended, and to terminate this Sublease, or to repossess without terminating the Lease, as provided for in this Sublease, because of any default in or breach of the covenants, provisions or conditions of this Sublease by Subtenant. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Sublease to the contrary, in no event shall either Landlord/Sublandlord or Subtenant be liable to the other for consequential, special or punitive damages, except in connection with Subtenant's failure to (a) surrender the Subleased Premises in accordance with Section 17.0 above, or (b) deliver an estoppel certificate in accordance with Section 21.0 below.

18.4    No Waiver. No waiver of any breach of any of the covenants of this Sublease shall be construed, taken or held to be a waiver of any other breach or waiver, acquiescence in or consent to any further or succeeding breach of the same covenant.

Without limitation of the foregoing, this indemnification shall include any costs incurred because of any investigation of the site or any cleanup, removal, remediation or restoration mandated by a federal, state, or local agency or political subdivision.

If any amount of the Security Deposit is used by Sublandlord, such amount shall be replenished by Subtenant within ten (10) days after demand from Sublandlord.

Subtenant shall not be obliged to so certify unless the applicable estoppel certificate is prepared by Landlord/Sublandlord and/or Landlord or Sublandlord's mortgagee. However, Subtenant agrees to supply the applicable materials for the preparation of the estoppel certificate. Subtenant shall not be required to comply with this Section 21.0 except after a reasonable interval has passed after each previous estoppel certificate shall have been issued; a reasonable interval means not more than once every 3 months, except as required by Landlord and permitted under the Primary Lease.
