2.          Base

(c)          Payments
received from Tenant shall be applied by Landlord as follows: first, to any unpaid late charge; second, to accrued interest; third,
to other charges due and unpaid; fourth, to Additional Rent; and fifth, to Base Rent.


 


3.          Additional
Rent. All sums in addition to Base Rent due to be paid to Landlord under the terms of this Lease shall constitute

4.          Use
of Premises. Tenant shall use and occupy the Premises for purposes of the manufacture, testing, research, warehousing
and sales of graphene nanoplatelets and related products, related office uses, or any other lawful purpose, in full compliance
with any zoning laws and special use permits issued by the Township of Vevay. Landlord warrants and represents to Tenant that

as of Commencement Date, possess good marketable fee title to the Premises, and that all encumbrances, restrictions, covenants,
declarations, and other matters affecting title to the Premises do not and will not interfere with Tenant’s permitted uses
of the Premises. Tenant shall not suffer or permit the Premises, or any portion thereof, to be used by the public, as such, without
restriction or in such manner as might impair Landlord’s title to the Premises or any portion thereof, or in such manner
as may reasonably make possible a claim or claims of adverse usage or adverse possession by the public, as such, or of implied
dedication of the Premises or any portion thereof.


 


6.          Condition

and ordinances. Landlord shall be responsible for the first Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) of the cost and expense such upgrade
to the power supply. In the event the cost and expense of such upgrade to the power supply pursuant to bids approved by Tenant
exceeds Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00), the amount in excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) shall be reimbursed by
Tenant to Landlord by amortizing said excess amount over that portion of the initial term of the Lease from the Rent Commencement
Date to the end of the initial term, in equal monthly installments. Said reimbursement installments shall be paid, commencing
on Rent Commencement Date, together with Tenant’s Base Rent Payment due under this Lease, as Additional Rent.

condition and suitable for the purposes for which they are leased at the time of entry, subject however to latent defects, and
any defects or punch list items communicated by Tenant to Landlord in writing within fifteen (15) days after the Rent Commencement
Date. Neither Landlord not Landlord’s agents have made any representations or warranties with respect to the physical condition
of the building or the land upon which it is erected or any other portion of the Premises, except as herein expressly set forth.

    3


     


    

 


9.            Ownership.
Landlord shall at all times during the term of this Lease have title to buildings, improvements, and fixtures previously or
hereafter constructed on the Premises by Landlord or at Landlord’s expense. Tenant shall at all times during the term of
this Lease have title to building improvements and fixtures previously or hereafter constructed or installed on the Premises by
Tenant, at Tenant’s expense. Upon expiration or termination of this Lease, title to the buildings, improvements and fixtures
constructed or installed by Tenant or at Tenant’s expense, shall automatically, without action on the part of either of
the parties hereto, vest in Landlord, its successors and assigns, excluding however any of Tenant’s trade fixtures, equipment,
and personal property which may be removed by Tenant, provided Tenant repairs any damage caused by such removal. Tenant covenants
and agrees that upon request, Tenant will execute and deliver to Landlord any and all documents reasonable requested by Landlord
to confirm that title to the buildings, improvements, and fixtures constructed by Tenant on the Premises, which vest in Landlord
pursuant to the foregoing sentence, are vested in Landlord.


 


10.           Alterations.


 


(a)          Except
for maintenance, repairs and replacements required by Section 8 above, Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent
of Landlord, make any material alterations, improvements, or additions to the Premises. If Tenant desires to make any material
alterations, improvements, or additions to the Premises, Tenant shall first submit to Landlord plans and specifications therefor
and obtain Landlord’s written approval thereof prior to commencing work on same. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold,
condition, or delay its approval of any cosmetic, non-structural, or other alterations reasonably necessary for Tenant’s
continued use of the Premises for the purposes permitted, unless Tenant’s proposal would be detrimental to the long-term
value of the Premises. Any such approved alterations, improvements, or additions shall be made at Tenant’s sole expense.
No alterations, improvements, additions or physical changes previously or hereafter made by Tenant shall be removed by Tenant
from the Premises at the termination of this Lease, excluding however any of Tenant’s trade fixtures, equipment, and personal
property which may be removed by Tenant. All alterations, improvements, additions or physical changes left on the Premises at
the end of the Term shall become Landlord’s property, excluding however any of Tenant’s trade fixtures, equipment,
and personal property which may be removed by Tenant.


 


(b)          Tenant
shall, before making any approved alterations, additions, installations or improvements, at Tenant’s expense, obtain all
permits, approvals and certificates required by any governmental or quasi-governmental bodies and (upon completion) certificates
of final approval therefor and shall deliver promptly duplicates of all such permits, approvals and certificates to Landlord.


 


11.           Covenant
Against Liens. Nothing in this Lease shall authorize Tenant to, and Tenant shall not, do any act which will in
any way lien or encumber the title of Landlord in and to the Premises, nor shall the interest or estate of Landlord in the Premises
be in any way subject to any lien, claim, or encumbrance whatsoever by virtue of any act or omission of Tenant. Any encumbrance,
lien, or claim to a lien upon the Premises arising from any act or omission of Tenant shall be valid only against Tenant and shall
in all respects be subordinate to the title and rights of Landlord, and any person claiming through Landlord, in and to the Premises.
Tenant shall remove any lien, claim, or encumbrance on its interest in the Premises within thirty (30) days after written notice
from Landlord to Tenant that same has arisen; provided, however, that Tenant may in good faith contest any such item if Tenant
posts a bond or other adequate security with Landlord, in a form and amount acceptable to Landlord, in Landlord’s reasonable
discretion.


 



    4


     


    

 


12.           Indemnification;
Tenant’s Property.


 


(a)          Tenant
shall indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, claims,
costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, paid or incurred as a result of Tenant’s negligence or misconduct
or in connection with any default by Tenant, but excluding however any casualty damage to the Premises as to which casualty damage
Tenant’s obligations and liabilities hereunder are limited exclusively to the amount of the insurance proceeds received
by Tenant as provided in Section 24(b) below. In case any action or proceeding is brought against Landlord by reason of any such
claim, Tenant, upon written notice from Landlord, will, at Tenant’s expense, resist or defend such action or proceeding.


 


(b)          Landlord
shall indemnify and hold Tenant harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties, claims, costs,
and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, paid or incurred as a result of Landlord’s negligence or misconduct
or in connection with any default by Landlord. In case any action or proceeding is brought against Tenant by reason of any such
client, Landlord, upon written notice from Tenant, will, at Landlord’s expense, resist or defend such action or proceeding.


 


(c)          Tenant
shall maintain a so-called “all risk” policy of insurance with a responsible insurance company satisfactory to Landlord
on all of Tenant’s personal property, to the full extent of their replacement cost. Said policy of insurance shall contain
a clause or endorsement under which the insurer waives, or permits the waiver by Tenant of, all right of subrogation against Landlord,
with respect to losses payable under such policy, and Tenant hereby waives all right of recovery which it might otherwise have
against Landlord, for any damage to Tenant’s property which is (or by the terms of this Lease is required to be) covered
by a policy of insurance, notwithstanding that such damage may result from the negligence or fault of Landlord.


 


13.           Assignment
and Subletting.


 


(a)          Tenant
shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed:


 


(i)       
   transfer, assign, or sublet this Lease or any interest hereunder; or


 


(ii)          permit
any transfer or assignment hereof by operation of law.


 


(b)          Landlord’s
consent hereunder shall result in Tenant’s continuing liability hereunder, and no consent by Landlord to a transfer or an
assignment shall be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining Landlord’s written consent to any further transfer or assignment.


 


(c)          Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Tenant may, without the prior notice to or consent of Landlord, transfer, assign, or sublet this Lease, the Premises
or any part thereof, to: (i) any entity controlled by, controlling or under common control with Tenant, or in which Tenant owns
a legitimate interest for a legitimate business purpose; or (ii) an entity acquiring or succeeding to substantially all of the
business of Tenant, by merger spin-off, reorganization, consolidation, acquisition (or assets or equity) or otherwise. For this
purpose, “control” shall mean the possession of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies
of such entity, whether through the ownership of a sufficient percentage of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.


 



    5


     


    

 


14.           Expenses
of Enforcement; Landlord Costs.


 


(a)          Tenant
shall pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Landlord in enforcing any of the Tenant’s obligations
under this Lease upon any Tenant default, and same shall be deemed to be Additional Rent hereunder.


 


(b)          If
Landlord, in connection with any default by Tenant, makes any expenditure or incurs any obligations for the payment of money,
including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in instituting, prosecuting or defending any
action or proceeding, such sums so paid or obligations incurred, shall be deemed to be Additional Rent hereunder and shall be
paid by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days of Landlord’s written demand.


 


15.           Landlord’s
Remedies.


 


(a)          If
Tenant shall fail to make any payment of any Rent (Base or Additional) due hereunder, and such failure continues for fifteen (15)
days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant thereof; or


 


(b)          if
Tenant shall fail to pay any other sum required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease, and such failure continues for fifteen
(15) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant thereof; or


 


(c)          if
Tenant shall fail to perform any of the other covenant or condition which Tenant is required to observe and perform under this
Lease, and any such failure continues for thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord to Tenant thereof; or


 


(d)          if
the interest of Tenant in this Lease shall be levied upon under execution or other legal process; or


 


(e)          if
any petition shall be filed by or against Tenant in a court of bankruptcy and the same is not dismissed within thirty (30) days
of the filing thereof; or


 


(f)          if
Tenant shall be declared insolvent according to law; or


 


(g)          if
Tenant shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or petition for or enter into an arrangement;


 


then
in any of such events specified in this Section 15(a)-(g), Landlord may, but need not, declare the occurrence of any one
or more of the foregoing events as a default under this Lease, and thereupon may, at Landlord’s option, without further
notice to Tenant, have any one or more of the following described remedies in addition to all other rights and remedies provided
at law or in equity:


 



    6


     


    

 


(i)       
   Terminate this Lease, repossess the Premises in accordance with the provisions of Section 17 hereof,
and be entitled to recover immediately, as damages, the present value of the total amount of Rent due to be paid by Tenant
during the balance of the Term of this Lease, less the fair rental value of the Premises for said period, together with any
other sum of money owed by Tenant to Landlord;


 


(ii)          Terminate
Tenant’s right of possession and repossess the Premises without demand or notice of any kind to Tenant and without terminating
this Lease, in which case Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to relet all or any part of the Premises for such rent and upon
such terms as shall be satisfactory to Landlord, in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. For the purpose of such reletting,
Landlord may make such repairs, alterations, additions or physical changes in or to the Premises as may be necessary or convenient.
If Landlord shall fail to relet the Premises despite Landlord’s reasonable efforts to do so, then Tenant shall pay to Landlord
as damages the present value of the total amount of Rent due to be paid by Tenant during the balance of the Term of this Lease.
If the Premises are relet and a sufficient sum shall not be realized from the reletting, after payment of all costs and expenses
of such repairs, alterations, additions or physical changes and the expense of such reletting and the collection of rent occurring
therefrom, to satisfy the rent herein provided to be paid during the remainder of the Term, Tenant shall satisfy and pay any such
deficiency upon demand. Tenant agrees that Landlord may file suit to recover any sums falling due under the terms of this subparagraph
from time to time and that any suit or recovery of any portion due Landlord hereunder shall be no defense to any subsequent action
brought for any amount not theretofore reduced to judgment in favor of Landlord;


 


(iii)          Seek
specific performance of Tenant’s obligations;


 


(iv)          Cure
the Tenant’s default and recover the cost of curing as Additional Rent due on demand.


 


16.           Bankruptcy.


 


(a)          If
following the filing of a petition by or against Tenant in a bankruptcy court Landlord shall not be permitted to terminate this
Lease as hereinabove provided because of the provisions of Title 11 of the United States Code relating to Bankruptcy, as amended
(the “Bankruptcy Code”), then Tenant (including Tenant as Debtor-in-Possession) or any trustee for Tenant agrees promptly,
within no more than thirty (30) days upon request by Landlord to the Bankruptcy Court, to assume or reject this Lease, and Tenant
agrees not to seek or request any extension or adjournment of any application to assume or reject this Lease by Landlord with
such Court. Tenant’s or the trustee’s failure to assume this Lease within said 30-day period shall be deemed a rejection.
Landlord shall thereupon immediately be entitled to possession of the Premises without further obligation to Tenant or the trustee,
and this Lease shall be terminated, except that Landlord’s right to damages for Tenant’s default shall survive such
termination.


 


(b)          Tenant
or any trustee for Tenant may only assume this Lease if (i) it cures or provides adequate assurance that the trustee will promptly
cure any default hereunder, (ii) it compensates or provides adequate assurance that the Tenant will promptly compensate landlord
for any actual pecuniary loss to Landlord resulting from Tenant’s default, and (iii) it provides adequate assurance of future
performance under this Lease by Tenant. In no event after the assumption of this Lease by Tenant or any trustee for Tenant shall
any then-existing default remain uncured for a period in excess of thirty (30) days. Adequate assurance of future performance
of this Lease shall include, without limitation, adequate assurance (A) of the source of Rent required to be paid by Tenant hereunder,
and (B) that assumption or permitted assignment of this Lease will not be a default of any provision hereunder.


 



    7


     


    

 


17.           Termination;
Surrender of Possession. Upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, whether by lapse of time, operation
of law or pursuant to the provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall:


 


(a)          Restore
the Premises to the same condition in which they were in at the beginning of the Term (except for: reasonable wear and tear; maintenance,
repairs, and replacements for which Landlord is responsible pursuant to Section 8(a) above; and approved alterations, additions
or improvements made pursuant to Section 10 above), remove all of its personal property (including all signs, symbols and
trademarks pertaining to its business) from the Premises and repair any damage to the Premises caused by such removal; and


 


(b)          Surrender
possession of the Premises to Landlord.


 


If
Tenant shall fail or refuse to restore the Premises as hereinabove provided, Landlord may do so and recover its cost for so doing.
If Tenant shall fail or refuse to comply with Tenant’s duty to remove all personal property from the Premises and the building
upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, the parties hereto agree and stipulate that Landlord may, at its election: (a)
treat such failure or refusal as an offer by Tenant to transfer title to such personal property to Landlord, in which event the
title thereto shall thereupon pass under this Lease as a bill of sale; or (b) treat such failure or refusal as conclusive evidence,
on which Landlord shall be entitled to rely absolutely, that Tenant has forever abandoned such personal property. In either event,
Landlord may, with or without accepting title thereto, keep or remove, store, destroy, discard or otherwise dispose of all or
any part thereof in any manner that Landlord shall choose without incurring liability to Tenant or to any other person. In no
event shall Landlord ever become or be charged with the duties of a bailee of any personal property of Tenant. The failure of
Tenant to remove any personal property from the Premises shall forever bar Tenant from bringing any action or asserting any liability
against Landlord with respect to any such property which Tenant fails to remove.


 


If
Tenant shall fail or refuse to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord upon termination or expiration of this Lease,
Landlord may evict Tenant in accordance with applicable law, and dispossess all persons and effects therefrom. Landlord shall
also be entitled to such other remedies as may be provided it by law or in equity in the event of Tenant’s failure or refusal
to surrender possession.


 


18.           Holding
Over. Tenant acknowledges that its holding over beyond the time of the termination or expiration of this Lease
will cause Landlord additional expense. If Tenant shall remain in possession of the Premises, or any part thereof, after the termination
or expiration of this Lease without Landlord’s written consent, Tenant shall acquire no rights with respect to the Premises.
Tenant shall, however, pay Landlord, as liquidated damages during any such holdover, One Hundred Twenty Percent (120%) the amount
of Base Rent, which would have been due for a like period of occupancy during the Term hereof, plus pay all Additional Rent and
other charges due under this Lease. The provisions of this clause shall not operate as a waiver by Landlord of any right or remedy
it may otherwise enjoy.


 



    8


     


    

 


19.           Eminent
Domain. If all or any material part of the Premises shall be taken or condemned by any competent authority for
any public purpose, or if any adjacent property or street shall be condemned or improved in a manner that unreasonably interferes
with or prevents the use of any material part of the Premises, the Term of this Lease shall, at the option of Landlord or Tenant
exercised upon written notice to the other party, end as of the date of the actual taking, without apportionment to Tenant of
any portion of the award or damages, other than any amount for Tenant’s moving expenses, business information, and the unamortized
portion of Tenant’s leasehold improvements. Otherwise, this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, Base Rent shall
be equitably reduced to the extent Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises is affected, without apportionment to Tenant
of any portion of the award or damages, other than any amount for Tenant’s moving costs, business interruption, and the
unamortized portion of Tenant’s leasehold improvements. For purposes of this Section 19, “material” shall
mean any part of the Premises which reasonably interferes or prevents that use of the Premises in substantially the same manner
as the Premises was used immediately prior to such taking.


 


In
the event of a termination pursuant to this Section 19, current Rent, both Base and Additional, shall be apportioned to
the date of such taking. If the leasehold interest vested in Tenant by this Lease shall be condemned or taken in any manner, Landlord’s
and Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such condemnation or taking.


 


20.          No
Waiver. The failure of either party to enforce any covenant or condition of this Lease shall not be deemed a waiver
thereof or of the right of either party to enforce each and every covenant and condition of this Lease. No provision of this Lease
shall be deemed to have been waived unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver is
claimed.


 


21.          Tenant’s
Remedies. If Landlord shall fail to perform any provision or covenant of this Lease upon Landlord’s part to be performed,
and upon receiving written notice from Tenant of said failure, and thereafter Landlord does not correct the failure within thirty
(30) days after receipt of said notice, Tenant may declare Landlord in default, and may exercise any one or more of the remedies
available at law or in equity, including the following remedies available to Tenant: (a) Tenant may undertake to correct Landlord’s
default and deduct from the next Rent payments due Landlord under this Lease an amount equal to the reasonable cost of correcting
the default; (b) Tenant may commence an action to enforce Landlord’s obligations under the Lease by specific performance,
and/or seek to obtain injunctive relieve as provided by law; (c) Tenant may commence an action for money damages incurred by Tenant
as a result of Landlord’s default under the Lease; (d) Tenant may terminate the Lease upon written notice to Landlord so
long as such default remains uncured, but only if the nature of Landlord’s default under the Lease is so serious that it
unreasonably interferes with Tenant’s use and enjoyment of the Premises for the purpose specified in this Lease for in excess
of thirty (30) consecutive days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be declared in default as to any failures which
would reasonably require more than thirty (30) days after receive of such notice to correct, so long as Landlord commences to
cure during said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion. Landlord shall also pay to
Tenant all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Tenant in enforcing any of Landlord’s obligations under
this Lease upon any Landlord default.


 



    9


     


    

 


22.
          Cumulative Remedies. All rights and remedies of the parties under this
Lease shall be cumulative, and none shall exclude any other rights or remedies allowed by law or in equity.


 


23.           Destruction—Fire
or Other Cause.


 


(a)          Except
as otherwise provided herein, if the Premises or any buildings or improvements thereon shall be damaged or rendered untenable
by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall restore them to the condition prior to such fire or casualty, and make them tenable as
soon as possible, but only to the extent of the insurance proceeds received by Tenant, and rent shall be equitably abated, in
whole or in part, during the period of untenablility to the extent and during the time Tenant’s use of the Premises is adversely
affected. All such restoration shall be performed using contractors approved in advance by Landlord, in Landlord’s reasonable
discretion.


 


(b)          In
case the Premises shall be so damaged by fire or other casualty during the initial term or any renewal term that demolition is
required, and the Township of Vevay or other governmental body, prohibits reconstruction, or in the event of the proceeds of insurance
received by Tenant are inadequate to complete such restoration and Landlord is unwilling or unable to fund the cost of such restoration
in excess of the insurance proceeds received by Tenant, then in any of such events, Tenant may terminate this Lease by notifying
the Landlord of such termination within sixty (60) days after the date of such damage or notice of such prohibition. In the event
of such a termination, Landlord shall be entitled to all insurance proceeds received by Tenant with respect to the Premises, excluding
proceeds received by Tenant for Tenant’s trade fixtures, equipment, personal property, or loss of business.


 


(c)          Tenant
shall promptly notify Landlord of the occurrence of a fire or other casualty at the Premises.


 


24.           Insurance.
By this section, and by the applicable portions of Section 12, Landlord and Tenant intend that the risk of loss or
damages as described shall be borne by responsible insurance carriers to the extent provided.


 


(a)          Tenant
shall, at its expense, insure the Premises, and all buildings and improvements now or hereafter constructed thereon, against loss
or damage under a policy or policies of so-called “all risk” fire and casualty coverage insurance, in an amount determined
by Tenant, but not less than Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000.00), underwritten by such carriers and on such other terms and conditions
as Landlord shall approve. In the event Landlord requests that Tenant maintain the foregoing insurance in an amount in excess
of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000.00), Tenant shall use Tenant’s best efforts to do so, but the additional cost of such
insurance in excess of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000.00) shall be paid by Landlord to Tenant upon demand. Landlord and Landlord’s
Lender(s), if any, shall be named as an additional insured in such policy or policies, as their interests appear.


 


(b)          If
Tenant shall make any improvements to the Premises or the building, Landlord may request that coverage be increased by the full
replacement cost of such improvements at any time after such improvements are made. Landlord hereby waives all right of recovery
which it might otherwise have against Tenant, for any casualty or damage to the building or Premises, in excess of the amount
of fire and casualty insurance proceeds received under Section 24(a), notwithstanding that such casualty or damage may result
from the negligence or fault of Tenant, and notwithstanding that the amount of the insurance proceeds received may be inadequate
to fully restore the building and Premises.


 



    10


     


    

 


(c)          In
the event of a loss covered by the policy or policies of casualty insurance referred to in subsection (a) above, the proceeds
shall be paid jointly to Tenant and Landlord so that Landlord can verify the Tenant’s use of such proceeds to the restoration
of the Premises as close as practical to their condition immediately prior to the casualty, as the proceeds allow unless the Lease
shall be terminated as provided in Section 23(b) above.


 


(d)          Tenant
shall maintain a policy of general public liability insurance in an amount at least equal to Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00)
single-limit coverage for property damage, bodily injury or death. Such policy of general public liability insurance shall name
Landlord as an additional insured.


 


(e)          If
practical, all policies of insurance required to be carried by this Lease shall provide, by endorsement or otherwise, that such
insurance may not be canceled or terminated, except upon written notice to Landlord. Prior to Commencement Date and thereafter,
prior to the expiration of any such policy, Tenant agrees to deliver to Landlord either a duplicate original of the aforesaid
policy or a certificate evidencing each such insurance coverage, together with evidence of payment for the policies. If a certificate
is provided, it shall contain a statement required by the first sentence of this subsection (e) regarding notice to Landlord.
Any failure by Tenant’s to provide and keep in force the aforementioned insurance which continues for more than fifteen
(15) days after written notice to Tenant thereof, may be treated as a default hereunder by Landlord, entitling Landlord to exercise
any or all of the remedies as provided in this Lease in the event of Tenant’s default.


 


(f)          The
cost of insurance required to be carried by Tenant at Tenant’s expense in this section 24 shall be deemed to be Additional
Rent hereunder.


 


25.           Access
to Premises. Landlord shall have the right to enter upon the Premises during normal business hours upon reasonable
advance written notice of not less than 24 hours to Tenant, for the purpose of: inspecting the Premises; showing the Premises
to prospective mortgagees; preventing waste, loss, or destruction; or performing maintenance, repairs or replacements Landlord
is obligated to make under the terms of this Lease or which Landlord may elect to perform following Tenant’s failure to
do so. Except in the case of a bona fide emergency involving a material risk of injury or death, or potential significant risk
of injury to property where no notice shall be required, Landlord shall give notice prior to entry.


 


During
the last six months of the Term, Landlord may also enter the Premises during normal business hours upon reasonable advance written
notice of not less than 24 hours to Tenant for the purpose of showing the Premises to prospective tenants. Landlord may also during
said six-month period place upon the Premises the usual notices “To Let” and “For Rent,” which notices
Tenant shall permit to remain thereon without molestation.


 


If
in the case of an emergency Tenant is not present to open and permit an entry into the Premises, Landlord or Landlord’s
agents may enter the same by master key or, if necessary for the protection of life or property, forcibly. In no event shall the
obligations of Tenant hereunder be affected by any such entry.


 



    11


     


    

 


26.           Signs.
Tenant may erect, maintain and remove such signs as it deems necessary, appropriate or desirable to its business operations
in, on or about the Premises, provided that the signs are in compliance with all governmental regulations and that they do not
cause structural damage to the Premises.


 


27.           Taxes
and Other Government Charges.


 


(a)          Landlord
shall pay all real property taxes billed with respect to the Premises prior to Commencement Date, and pay all special assessments
which become a lien on the Premises prior to Commencement Date. Tenant shall pay, before any penalty or interest attaches, all
general taxes, special taxes, special assessments, water charges, sewer service charges, utility charges and fees, and other governmental
charges of any kind whatsoever levied or assessed against or with respect to the Premises, and any buildings, fixtures, and improvements
thereon, at any time after the Commencement Date and during the Term of this Lease, and all renewal(s). Tenant shall furnish to
Landlord copies of any receipts for such payments to Landlord within fifteen (15) days of Landlord’s written request. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, with respect to all real property taxes. Such real property taxes shall be prorated between the parties as if such
taxes cover the calendar year in which such taxes are first billed. Tenant shall be responsible only for the portion of such taxes
covering the term of this Lease under such proration method, and Landlord shall be responsible for the balance of such taxes.
Additionally, Tenant shall be responsible for only those installments of special assessments first billed during the term of this
Lease.


 


(b)          Tenant
shall pay before any penalty or interest attaches all personal property taxes levied or assessed against the personal property
of Tenant located upon the Premises, and shall, within fifteen (15) days of Landlord’s written request, furnish to Landlord
duplicate receipts thereof.


 


(c)          If
Tenant shall, in good faith, desire to contest the validity or amount of any tax, assessment, levy or other governmental charge
herein agreed to be paid by Tenant, Tenant shall be permitted to do so, and, unless required otherwise by law, shall be permitted
to defer payment of such tax or charge, the validity or amount of which Tenant is so contesting, until final determination of
the contest, upon giving to Landlord written notice thereof prior to the commencement of any such contest, which shall be given
at least ten (10) days prior to delinquency, and upon protecting the Premises and Landlord’s adjoining lands, and upon giving
to Landlord, on demand by Landlord, a good and sufficient surety bond or other security satisfactory to Landlord against any such
tax, levy, assessments, rate, or governmental charge, and upon holding Landlord harmless from any costs, liability or damage arising
out of any such contest. If Tenant loses a tax contest, Tenant shall be required to immediately pay all taxes and charges.


 


28.           Utilities.
Tenant shall, at its expense and by separate metering, provide the Premises with all utility services it desires to have (except
as provide in Section 6 above as Landlord’s responsibility), and pay for all utilities consumed in the Premises prior
to delinquency. Tenant will provide appropriate evidence of such payments to Landlord within fifteen (15) days of Landlord’s
written request for such evidence.


 


29.           Broker.
The parties agree that no broker other than CBRE/Martin (the “Broker”) brought about his Lease. The Tenant agrees
to indemnify and hold the Landlord harmless against any brokerage claims from any broker dealing with Tenant, other than the Broker.
Landlord shall be responsible for all brokerage commissions and fees owed to the Broker pursuant to any separate listing agreement
with Broker, and any brokerage claims from any other broker dealing with Landlord.


 



    12


     


    

 


30.           Options
to Renew. Tenant shall have the option to renew the Term for two (2) consecutive additional periods of three (3)
years each. If Tenant desires to exercise said option, it shall do so by giving Landlord written notice thereof not later than
ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the initial term or renewal term then in force, whichever is applicable. Base Rent
for each renewal period shall be increased on the Commencement Date of each renewal period by two percent (2%) of the Base Rent
in effect immediately prior to the commencement date of said renewal period. The other terms and conditions of this Lease shall
remain in full force and effect during any such renewal terms except that this Lease shall not be further renewed beyond the two
(2) renewal periods provided for herein.


 


31.           Notices.
All notices, payments, bills or statements required hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given,
whether actually received or not, if either delivered personally or mailed by certified or registered mail to the parties at their
addresses as set forth on the first page of this Lease. Either party may change its address for notices, bills or statements by
giving notice of such change as hereinabove set forth.


 


32.           Heirs
and Assigns. The covenants, conditions, and agreements contained in this Lease shall bind and inure to the benefit
of Landlord and Tenant and their respective heirs, distributees, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns, subject to
the provision of Section 13 above.


 


33.           Quiet
Enjoyment. Landlord covenants and agrees with Tenant that upon Tenant’s timely paying the Rent and observing
and performing all the terms, covenants and conditions on Tenant’s part to be performed and observed, Tenant may peaceably
and quietly enjoy the Premises hereby leased.


 


34.           Subordination;
Attornment; Nondisturbance; Estoppel Certificate.


 


(a)          This
Lease shall be subject and subordinate to the interests of the holders of any notes secured by mortgages on the Premises, now
or in the future, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof, and while the provisions
of this section are self-executing, Tenant shall execute such documents as may be necessary to affirm or give notice of such subordination.
With respect to any existing mortgage, and any mortgage executed by Landlord prior to Commencement Date, and, with respect to
any future mortgage, on or before the effective date of said future mortgage, at Landlord’s cost, Landlord shall obtain
from its mortgagee (“Landlord Mortgagee”), and cause to be filed on the public record, as a condition of Tenant’s
subordination hereunder, a written agreement among Landlord’s Mortgagee, Landlord, and Tenant, that shall be binding on

    13


     


    

 


(b)          Upon
request of the holder of any note secured by a mortgage on the building or the Premises, Tenant shall agree in writing that no
action taken by such holder to enforce said mortgage shall terminate this Lease or invalidate or constitute a breach of any of
its provisions, and Tenant shall attorn to such mortgagee, or to any purchaser of the building or the Premises at any foreclosure
sale, or sale in lieu of foreclosure, for the balance of the Term on all the terms and conditions herein contained. While the
provisions of this section are self-executing, all persons affected thereby shall execute such documents necessary to affirm or
give notice of such attornment.


 


(c)          Landlord
expressly authorizes Tenant to rely on any notice from Landlord’s Mortgagee notifying Tenant of a default under the mortgage
instructing Tenant to pay all Rent to such Landlord’s Mortgagee. All payments made in good faith and in reliance on such
notice shall be deemed to have been made to or on behalf of Landlord and shall not be a breach or default under this Lease.


 


(d)          At
the written request of Landlord, Tenant shall within fifteen (15) days deliver to Landlord, or anyone designated by Landlord,
a certificate stating and certifying to the best of Tenant’s knowledge as of the date of such certificate (i) the date to
which Rent and other charges under this Lease have been paid, (ii) whether or not there are then existing any setoffs or defenses
against the enforcement of any of the agreements, terms, covenants or conditions hereof on the part of Tenant to be performed
or complied with (and, if so, specifying the same), and (iii) if such be true, that this Lease is unmodified (or, if so, specifying
the modifications) and in full force and effect, and (iv) Landlord is not in default under any provision of this Lease or if Landlord
is in default, specifying the nature of Landlord’s default.


 


35.           Landlord’s

thing herein provided by it to be done or performed, then Landlord may, but shall not be required to, do or perform or cause to
be done or performed such act or thing, entering upon the Premises for such purposes, if Landlord shall so elect, Tenant shall
repay to Landlord, within fifteen (15) days of Landlord’s written demand, the reasonable cost and expense thereof. Any act
or thing done by Landlord pursuant to the provisions of this section shall not be or be construed as a waiver of any such default
by Tenant, or as a waiver of any covenant, term or condition herein contained, or of the requirement of performance thereof, or
of any other right or remedy of Landlord hereunder or otherwise.


 


36.           Surrender
of Lease. The voluntary or other surrender of this Lease by Tenant, or by a mutual cancellation thereof, shall
not work a merger, and may, at the option of Landlord, terminate all existing subleases or sub-tenancies, or may, at the option
of Landlord, operate as an assignment to if of any or all such subleases or sub-tenancies.


 


37.           Litigation.

other upon any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, Tenant’s use or occupancy of the
Premises, or any claim of injury or damage or both.

or construction of the contents hereof.


 


44.           Covenants

45.           Right
of First Refusal.


 


(a)          So
long as this Lease is in full force and effect, if the Landlord shall receive a bona fide offer from any unrelated person, persons,
organization, or organizations to purchase in whole or in part the land or building of which the Premises is a part, which offer
is acceptable to Landlord, the Landlord shall send the Tenant a copy of the proposed contract and notify the Tenant of Landlord’s
intention to accept the offer. The Tenant shall have the right within thirty (30) days from the date of personal delivery or mailing
of said notice to accept the terms of the contract in writing for purchase such land or building of which the Premises are a part
for the purchase price and on the terms specified in the contract, except as otherwise provided in this section. If the Tenant
shall not so elect within the period of thirty (30) days from the date of personal delivery or mailing of said notice, the Landlord
may then sell the land or building of which the Premises are a part to the offeror, provided the sale is on substantially the
same terms and conditions and for the price set forth in the contract sent to the Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, or in the contract provided to Tenant, unless waived in writing by Tenant, Tenant’s exercise of Tenant’s right
of first refusal hereunder shall be subject to and conditioned upon Tenant obtaining, within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s
exercise of Tenant’s right of first refusal hereunder or such later time as is provided in the contract, a Phase I environmental
site assessment of the Premises acceptable to Tenant confirming that no recognized environmental conditions unacceptable to Tenant
in Tenant’s sole discretion exist. Additionally, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, or in the contract provided
to Tenant shall not be required to close on the purchase pursuant to said contract until the later of the time specified in the
contract for closing or sixty (60) days after the date of Tenant’s exercise of Tenant’s right of first refusal.


 



    15


     


    

 


(b)          Termination.
This right of first refusal (but not this Lease) shall terminate upon the consummation of the transfer in fee simple to a third
party of the land and building of which the Premises are a part after full compliance with the terms of this right of first refusal.
After any termination as provided above, the Tenant shall at the Landlord’s written request execute and acknowledge any
documents stating that Tenant releases all the Tenant’s rights under this right of first refusal.


 


46.           Environmental.


 


(a)          Unless
waived in writing by Tenant, Tenant’s obligations under this Lease and the Commencement Date of this Lease are contingent
upon Tenant receiving prior to the Commencement Date of this Lease, a Phase I Environmental Assessment (the “Phase I ESA”)
from AKT Peerless, or another qualified environmental firm acceptable to Tenant, and dated not earlier than six (6) months prior
to the Commencement Date of this Lease, and certified to Tenant, confirming that there are no Recognized Environmental Conditions
on or affecting the Premises.

shall hold harmless, indemnify and defend Landlord from and against any Environmental Damages (as hereinafter defined) resulting
from events occurring on the Premises during the Term caused by Tenant or for which Tenant is responsible.

represents and warrants that, except as otherwise disclosed in the Phase I ESA, there are currently no Hazardous Materials on,
in, at, or affecting the Premises in violation of any laws, codes, ordinances, or regulations. Landlord represents and warrants
that, except as otherwise disclosed in the Phase I ESA, it has no knowledge or reason to believe, and has not received any notices
or communications from any governmental authority, that any person at the Premises has violated any legal requirement with respect
to the acquisition, handling, storage, treatment, shipment or disposal of, or any other matters pertaining to, Hazardous Materials.
Landlord represents and warrants that neither Landlord nor the Premises is subject to any decree, order or judgment relating to
environmental legal requirements. Landlord represents and warrants that, to the best of Landlord’s knowledge, except as
otherwise disclosed in the Phase I ESA, there are no underground storage tanks on the Premises other than the underground water
storage tank for the sprinkler system, and the Premises has never been used as a landfill or waste disposal site.


 


(e)          Landlord
shall hold harmless, indemnify and defend Tenant from and against any Environmental Damages resulting from events occurring on
or about the Premises, except for Environmental Damages caused by Tenant or for which Tenant is responsible.


 


(f)          “Environmental
Damages” shall mean all claims, judgments, damages (excluding consequential or punitive damages), losses, penalties, fines,
liabilities (including strict liability), encumbrances and liens, and any other costs and expenses, resulting from the existence
on or in, or release to, the ground or air, of Hazardous Materials in violation of, or alleged to be in violation of, the legal
requirements applicable thereto, including any attorneys’ fees, disbursements, consultant’s fees and other costs resulting
from: (i) investigation and defense of any alleged claim; (ii) directive of any governmental authorities, whether or not the claims

Materials” shall mean any hazardous or toxic substance, material or waste (including constituents thereof) that is or becomes
regulated by one or more governmental authorities. The words “Hazardous Materials” include, without limitation: (i)
any material or substance listed or defined as a “hazardous waste,” “extremely hazardous waste,” “restricted
hazardous waste”, “hazardous substance” or “toxic substance” under any applicable laws, codes or
ordinances; (ii) petroleum and its byproducts; (iii) asbestos, radon gas and urea formaldehyde foam insulation; (iv) polychlorinated
biphenyl; (v) any substance designed as a hazardous or toxic waste or substance (or words of similar import) pursuant to the Federal
Water Pollution Control Act, as amended (33 U.S.C. §1317), the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended
(42 U.S.C. §6903), the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, as amended (42 U.S.C. §§9601
et seq.), the Toxic Substance Control Act, as amended (15 U.S.C. §§2601 et seq.), or the Hazardous Materials Transportation
Act, as amended (49 U.S.C. §§1801 et seq.); or (vi) any other chemical, material, gas or substance, the exposure to
or release of which is or may hereafter be prohibited, limited or regulated by any governmental or quasi-governmental entity having
jurisdiction over the Premises or the operations or activity at the Premises, or any chemical, material, gas or substance that
does or may pose a hazard to the health or safety of the occupants of the Premises or the occupants of property adjacent to the
Premises. 


 


47.          Security
Deposit. As security for the faithful performance by Tenant of all of its obligations under this Lease, Tenant
shall upon execution of this Lease deposit in trust with Landlord the sum of Twenty Thousand One Hundred Fifty-Six and 25/100
Dollars ($20,156.25). This security deposit shall be kept by Landlord in a segregated account at a financial institution. Landlord
shall have the right (but not the obligation) to apply all or any part of it toward any Rent or other amount Tenant has failed
to pay hereunder on a timely basis.


 


48.          
Unpaid Rent. Unpaid monthly rental installments, or any portion thereof, and all other amounts due and owing
Landlord from Tenant under this Lease, which remain overdue for more than thirty (30) days after the due date, shall bear interest
at the rate of ten percent (10.0%) per annum until paid. To compensate it for increased costs Landlord will incur, Tenant shall
also pay a late charge in the amount of five percent (5%) in respect of any installment of rent not paid within fifteen (15) days
after the due date. Tenant acknowledges that said interest and late charges are reasonable in light of the additional costs which
will be incurred due to Tenant’s late payment, and do not constitute a penalty. Tenant’s obligation to pay rent that
is accrued but unpaid shall survive the expiration or termination of the Term.


 


49.          Accord
and Satisfaction. Landlord may accept any check or payment of less than the full amount it is owed without prejudice
to its right to recover the balance or to pursue any other remedy in this Lease as provided.


 


52.          Mutually
Drafted. The parties acknowledge and agree that this Lease has been prepared as the result of negotiation and reviewed
by the parties, shall be deemed to have been mutually drafted by the parties, and shall not be construed against any one party
as the drafter.


 


51.          Cubicles.

time of the execution of the Lease, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by Landlord, and that Landlord,
as of Commencement Date hereby transfers title to said cubicles to Tenant, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, and adverse
claims. This lease shall serve as the bill of said for said cubicles as of Commencement Date.


 



    17

Lease on behalf of the party on whose behalf this Lease is being signed.
