WITNESSETH:


  


WHEREAS,
Landlord owns certain real property consisting of approximately 171 acres with vacant land and improvements including a substation located
at 12th Street, Midland, PA, consisting of six parcels including Block and Lot No. 33-001-0103.023 (the “Property”).


 


WHEREAS,
Landlord and Tenant wish to enter into a lease permitting Tenant to occupy certain premises on the Property, consisting of approximately
6.0 acres of vacant land and the ability to connect to and receive power from substation number 1 (the “Substation”)
near the former melt shop building as shown on Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein (collectively, the “Leased
Premises”), in accordance with the terms and conditions provided herein.


 


NOW,
THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto
do hereby agree as follows:


 


	1)	Term;
Holdover:



 


		a)	Term.
The term of this Agreement shall commence on September 15, 2021 and shall continue for thirty six (36) months until September 14, 2024,
unless earlier terminated as provided elsewhere herein (“Term”). After the initial term, Tenant shall be granted four
(4) additional three (3) year term options at fair market rental rates upon mutual agreement for lease of the Leased Premises (for a
total potential term of fifteen (15) years including the initial term and option terms). Tenant shall exercise said option by providing
written notice thereof to Landlord not less than 90 days prior to the expiration of the then current term and Landlord shall respond
within 60 days.



 


		b)	Surrender.
Upon the expiration or termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Leased Premises in substantially the same condition as its
current condition with normal wear and tear excepted and without necessity of further notice, including, without limitation, any notice
required by the Landlord and Tenant Act of 1951, as amended, or any successor law, which is hereby waived. Tenant shall, on or before
the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, remove all of Tenant’s personal property (“Tenant’s Property”)
and make arrangements for removal of all containers, wires, connections to the substation, meters and other personal property from the
Leased Premises and shall immediately repair any damage to the Leased Premises caused by the installation and/or removal of such Tenant’s
Property and/or containers. Any or all of Tenant’s Property and/or containers not so removed shall, at Landlord’s option,
become the exclusive property of Landlord or be removed and disposed of by Landlord, at Tenant’s cost and expense, without further
notice to or demand upon Tenant, and without any liability to Tenant, in connection therewith.



 


		c)	Holdover.
Tenant may remain in possession of all or any part of the Leased Premises at the end of the Term. If Tenant does not surrender possession
of the Leased Premises at the end of the Term, the Term shall continue month to month until terminated by either party, all at 150% of
the most recent fixed monthly rental charged prior to such holdover. In the event of such holding over, (i) such tenancy shall be deemed
to be a periodic tenancy from month-to-month only; (ii) such tenancy shall not constitute a renewal or extension of this Lease for any
further term; (iii) such tenancy may be terminated by either party upon the earlier of thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to
the other and the earliest date permitted by law; and (iv) such month-to-month tenancy shall be subject to every other term, condition
and covenant contained in this Lease.

                                            Premises: The Leased Premises consists of approximately six (6) acres on the west side
                                            of the former Melt Shop building along with a connection to the existing Substation as depicted
                                            on Exhibit A. Tenant will not use or in any way disturb or enter the area of the former
                                            melt shop or other buildings on the Property that is all retained for use by Landlord. Landlord
                                            will retain exclusive use and control of the entirety of the Property not encompassing the
                                            Leased Premises (subject to any maintenance and repair obligations Tenant may have hereunder
                                            relating to the Substation or Leased Premises) and shall be given access to the retained
                                            area to fulfill its obligations to maintain the Substation as set forth herein. Tenant will
                                            install, at its cost, Modular Data Centers (MDC), [an office trailer and trailer toilet facilities]
                                            as needed for its use and to conduct its business on the Leased Premises. No water or sewer
                                            service to the Premises shall be provided by Landlord and if Tenant requires water and/or
                                            sewer, it will arrange for its own supplies. Tenant shall lease 50 MW/year of power capacity
                                            from the Substation with Tenant’s supplied transformer to transform from 1105 v to
                                            Delivered Voltage at 480v. Tenant shall have the right to connect to the Substation to add
                                            additional delivered power up to 100 MW at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.



 


Tenant
shall contract for internet service in its own name and shall be solely responsible for paying for such service to the applicable internet
service provider, provided that such internet service procured by Tenant shall not interfere with the inter service currently in use
at the Property.


 


The
Leased Premises includes use of the existing common roadway on the Property. Neither Tenant nor Landlord shall block, obstruct or impede
the other party’s use of the roadway. Landlord will maintain the common roadway including dust control, snow removal and patching
the surface.


 


If
the supply of delivered power from the Substation is interrupted, Landlord agrees to commence the maintenance, repairs, replacements
or restoration with reasonable promptness and to diligently pursue same. If any interruption of such supply persists for a period in
excess of three (3) consecutive days, Tenant shall be entitled to a proportionate abatement of Rent in proportion to the degree, if any,
to which Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises is impaired. If any interruption of such supply persists for more than ten (10) days out
of any thirty (30) consecutive day period, then (a) Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon written notice to Landlord
and (b) if same is due to the negligence or intentional conduct of Landlord, then it shall be deemed a breach of this Lease and shall
entitle Tenant to pursue any and all remedies herein provided.


 


	3)	Use:
                                                                                                                                                           During the Term, Tenant, at its sole risk, may use the Leased Premises solely to install, operate, and maintain Crypto Mining
                                                                                                                                                           operations housed in Modular Data Centers (MDC) connected to the Substation as permitted by applicable zoning and other legal
                                                                                                                                                           requirements; provided, however, that any other use at Landlord’s facilities shall require Landlord’s
                                                                                                                                                           prior written consent.

                                            the time of notification of request for extension and shall reflect then current market conditions
                                            for similar leases. The first (1st) installment of Rent shall be due on the first

                                            has consumed more than one (1) MW usage on the Leased Premises; provided, however, that in
                                            no event shall the first (1st) installment of Rent be due later than December

Tenant within thirty (30) days following the end of the Lease Term, provided Tenant shall then be in compliance with all of the provisions
of this Lease.  The Security Deposit may be retained by Landlord and applied against (a) unpaid Rent and other sums from time to
time due under this Lease, including all costs of enforcing this Lease and of performing Tenant’s obligations under this Lease,
(b) damages due to any breach by Tenant of this Lease, (c) damages caused by Tenant to the Property, and (d) cleaning, repairs and rubbish

funds, without interest, and shall have no obligation to segregate the same from any other funds.



 


	5)	Tenant’s
                                            Due diligence; Condition of Leased Premises; Maintenance and Repair: 



 


		a)	Tenant
shall have until sixty (60) days following the Effective Date of this Lease (the “Feasibility Period”) to examine the Leased
Premises and all matters relating thereto to determine whether the Leased Premises is suitable for Tenant’s intended use. Tenant
shall notify Landlord in writing prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period as to whether or not Tenant elects to terminate this
Lease (“Termination Notice”) or modify the area of the Leased Premises. Failure to send a Termination Notice by the end of
the Feasibility Period shall constitute notification on the part of Tenant that it intends not to terminate this Lease. If Tenant send
a Termination Notice pursuant to this paragraph, then this Lease shall automatically terminate and neither party shall have any further
rights or obligations hereunder. If Tenant seeks to modify the Leased Premises from what is depicted in Exhibit A, the parties will review
the proposed modification and amend this lease as necessary.



 


		b)	Tenant
agrees that, except for Landlord’s obligations contained in paragraphs 2 and 6 herein, and the improvements Landlord will be making,
it is taking possession of the Leased Premises in its present “AS IS” condition. Landlord has made no representations or
warranties with respect thereto. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it will be responsible for all upfront and ongoing necessary repairs
up to 50 MW usage, improvements and replacements necessary for its use and to conduct its business on the Leased Premises, including
but not limited to electrical connections, lighting facilities and equipment, fencing and other improvements needed to render the Leased
Premises useable for Tenant’s purposes. Tenant shall have the right to connect to the Substation to add additional delivered power
up to 100 MW at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, be responsible for any gravel, pavement,
landscaping, snow and ice removal for sidewalks, walkways, and parking lot area used exclusively by Tenant on the Leased Premises. Landlord
shall be responsible for snow/ice removal on all roadways outside the boundary of the Leased Premises. In the event the bounds of the
Leased Premises are expanded at any time during the Term (including any extension of the original three-year term period) to include
additional portions of the Property for Tenant’s occupation and use, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine the
extent of preparations required for that expanded use and to determine the parties’ respective responsibilities for the cost and
expense of preparation and ongoing maintenance of the additional space to be occupied by Tenant. Tenant shall be responsible for maintenance,
repair and replacement of all improvements used exclusively by Tenant that are situated below grade on the Leased Premises and the Property,
including but not limited to power lines, utilities, and electric systems. Tenant shall keep the Leased Premises in good condition and
repair, free of debris and trash. Tenant shall also be responsible to repair of any improvements that are damaged as a result of the
negligence of Tenant.





 


	6)	Tenant
                                            improvements and Substation 1: To the extent Tenant seeks to make capital repairs or
                                            improvements to the Leased Premises, Tenant will seek approval from Landlord before such
                                            repairs are made, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.
                                            In addition, Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to make improvements
                                            to the Leased Premises that are necessary in order for the land and Leased Premises to be
                                            usable for the purposes permitted by the Lease (“Required Improvements”).
                                            Tenant is responsible for any negligent or intentional act or omission arising from Tenant’s
                                            use of the Leased Premises and the Property.



 


Landlord
will own, operate, and maintain all equipment in the Substation from the utility Metering Point to the point of interconnection with
Tenant. Landlord will provide an inspection report from a reputable third party as to the condition and history of Landlord-owned high
voltage equipment in the Substation. Scioto Energy will exclusively provide power curtailment protocols to Tenant’s operations
on the Leased Premises. No curtailment by Tenant will materially, adversely impact Landlord’s operations on the Property and Landlord
will not impede curtailment actions by Tenant unless they materially, adversely impede Landlord’s use of the Property. Landlord
will be responsible for routine repair of the high voltage equipment in the Substation for a period of 24 months from lease commencement.
All maintenance required for the high voltage equipment in the first 24 months will be shared 50/50 by both parties up to a maximum of
$100,000.00 per annum to Landlord’s account. Tenant will be solely responsible for the remaining maintenance costs after the initial
24-month period.

	7)	Expenses:
                                            Tenant shall be responsible for payment of all taxes on its business and operations, any
                                            increases in real estate taxes assessed on the Leased Premises occasioned solely by Tenant’s
                                            use and occupation of the Leased Premises, and all maintenance and repair expenses on Tenant’s
                                            equipment.



 


		a)	Electricity.
Landlord will continue to own the electric meter at the Substation. Tenant will at its cost provide submetering to all its operations
to clearly identify Tenant’s power consumption and associated costs. The invoice from Duquesne Light will reflect charges for transmission
and distribution of the power. Landlord will pay Duquesne Light for the entire load and will invoice Tenant for its share based on the
submeter reading so that Tenant and Landlord will each pay a portion of the transmission and distribution invoice based on their respective
electricity use. After ATI’s current generation supply contract expires, Scioto Energy, a licensed power broker in Pennsylvania,
will exclusively arrange for the deregulated electricity supply at the Metering Point. All generation charges will be invoiced directly
to Tenant and Tenant will pay the generation bill directly from third-party retail supplier for entire load (Landlord + Tenant). Landlord
will pay Tenant for its metered share of power. All electric costs will be subject to monthly true-ups from the previous month’s
actual costs by the 15th of each calendar month.

perils policies covering Tenant’s Property and all of Tenant’s improvements in the Premises, if any, for their full replacement
value.

                                                                                                                                                                  lease, to protect the Tenant and Landlord.



 


		g)	Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord certificates of insurance within five (5) days following the full execution and delivery of this Lease. Tenant
shall procure and pay for renewals of such insurance from time to time before the expiration thereof, and Tenant shall deliver to Landlord
a certificate thereof at the time of the expiration of any existing policy. Such insurance may not be modified or canceled or allowed
to lapse except upon thirty (30) days’ written notice by Tenant to Landlord, and Tenant shall be solely responsible for payment
of all premiums under such policies, and Landlord shall have no obligation for the payment thereof. Tenant’s failure to provide
and keep in force, subject to 15 day right to cure, the aforementioned insurance shall be regarded as a material default hereunder, entitling
Landlord to exercise any or all of the remedies as provided in this Lease in the event of Tenant’s default. Landlord shall not
carry separate or additional insurance, where concurrent or contributing, in the event of any loss or damage, with any insurance required
to be obtained by Tenant under this Lease.



 


As
to each party hereto, provided such party’s right of full recovery under the applicable policy is not adversely affected, such
party hereby releases the other (along with its servants, agents, employees and invitees) with respect to any claim (including a claim
for negligence) which it might otherwise have against the other party for loss, damages or otherwise have against the other party for
loss, damages or destruction with respect to its property by fire or other casualty i.e., in the case of Landlord, as to the Property,
and, in the case of Tenant, as to the Leased Premises and Tenant’s Property (including rental value or business interruption, as
the case may be) occurring during the Term of this Lease.


 


All
indemnities provided in this Lease shall operate whether or not the indemnifying party has placed and maintained insurance and whether
or not proceeds from any insurance actually are collectible from one or more of the insurance companies; provided, however, that the
indemnifying party shall be relieved of its obligations of indemnity herein pro tanto of the amount actually recovered from one or more
of the said insurance companies by reason of injury or damage to, or loss sustained in respect to the Leased Premises or the Property.


 






    7


     

    

 


Each
party waives the right to recover punitive damages against the other.


 


The
parties hereto waive and release any and all rights of recovery against the other for loss of or damage to the property of the waiving/releasing
party to the extent such loss or damage is insured against under any insurance policy carried by Landlord or Tenant, or which would have
been so insured had the other party carried the insurance it was required to hereunder. In addition, the parties hereto (and in the case
of Tenant, all other persons and entities occupying or using the Leased Premises in accordance with the terms of this Lease) (i) shall
procure an appropriate clause in, or endorsement on, any fire or extended coverage insurance policy covering the Leased Premises, personal
property, fixtures and equipment located thereon or therein, pursuant to which the insurance companies waive subrogation or consent to
a waiver of right of recovery and (ii) subject to obtaining such clauses or endorsements of waiver of subrogation or consent to a waiver
of right of recovery, hereby agree not to make any claim against or seek to recover from the other for any loss or damage to its property
or the property of others resulting from fire or other hazards covered by such fire and extended coverage insurance; provided, however,
that the release and covenant not to sue herein contained shall be limited by and coextensive with the terms and provisions of the waiver
of subrogation clause or endorsements or clauses or endorsements consenting to a waiver of right of recovery. The waiver, release, consent,
covenant not to sue and waiver of subrogation hereinbefore referred to shall extend to the agents of each party and its partners and
employees and, in the case of Tenant, shall also extend to all other persons and entities occupying or using the Leased Premises in accordance
with the terms of this Lease. In the event that Landlord or Tenant (and all other persons and entities occupying or using the Leased
Premises in accordance with the terms of this Lease) shall be unable at any time to obtain one of the provisions referred to above in
any of its insurance policies, Landlord and/or Tenant (and in the case of Tenant, all other persons and entities occupying or using the
Leased Premises in accordance with the terms of this Lease), as the case may be, shall be named as an additional insured. Tenant and
all other persons and entities occupying or using the Leased Premises in accordance with the terms of this Lease acknowledge that Landlord
will not carry insurance on nor be responsible for damage to Tenant’s alterations (if any) or Tenant’s personal property,
and that Landlord shall not carry insurance against, or be responsible for, any loss suffered by Tenant or any other occupant due to
interruption of Tenant’s or such occupant’s business.


 


Tenant’s
failure to comply with any one or all of the provisions of this paragraph beyond any applicable notice and grace periods shall constitute
an event of default under this Lease.


 


Landlord
shall maintain, at its expense, throughout the Term (a) “all-risk” property insurance covering all improvements on the Property
and any items of personal property owned by Landlord and located on the Property (at full replacement cost) against loss or damage upon
casualty (including structural, fire, boiler and machinery, liability, earthquake, terrorism, and code upgrade coverage) and (b) commercial
general public liability insurance covering Landlord for claims arising out of liability for bodily injury, death, personal injury, and
property damage occurring in and about the Property and Leased Premises and otherwise resulting from any acts and operations of Landlord,
its agents and employees, with limits not less than $1,000,000.00 per occurrence and $3,000,000.00 in the aggregate. Landlord shall deliver
to Tenant certificates of insurance within five (5) days following the full execution and delivery of this Lease. Landlord shall procure
and pay for renewals of such insurance from time to time before the expiration thereof and shall deliver to Tenant a certificate thereof
at the time of the expiration of any existing policy. Such insurance may not be modified or canceled or allowed to lapse except upon
thirty (30) days’ written notice by Landlord to Tenant.

	17)	Damage
or Destruction:



 


		a)	Tenant
shall notify Landlord in writing immediately upon the occurrence of any damage to the Leased Premises that may require a claim for insurance
coverage. If the Leased Premises is only partially damaged (i.e., less than ten percent (10%) of the Leased Premises is untenantable
as a result of such damage or less than ten percent (10%) of Tenant’s operations are materially impaired) and if the proceeds received
by Landlord from the insurance policies described in Paragraph 16 are sufficient to pay for the necessary repairs and if such repairs
can be reasonably completed within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of said notice to Landlord, this Lease shall remain in
effect and Landlord shall repair the damage as soon as reasonably possible.



 


		b)	If
the insurance proceeds received by Landlord are not sufficient to pay the entire cost of repair, or if the cause of the damage is not
covered by the insurance policies which Landlord maintains under Paragraph 16, Landlord may elect either to (i) repair the damage as
soon as reasonably possible, in which case this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, or (ii) terminate this Lease as of the date
the damage occurred. Landlord shall notify Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of the occurrence of the damage whether
Landlord elects to repair the damage or terminate the Lease. If the damage was due to an act or omission of Tenant, or Tenant’s employees,
agents, contractors or invitees, Tenant shall be responsible for the costs of the repair not covered by insurance.





 


		c)	If
the damage to the Leased Premises occurs during the last six (6) months of the Term and such damage will require more than thirty (30)
days to repair, either Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease as of the date the damage occurred, regardless of the sufficiency
of any insurance proceeds. The party electing to terminate this Lease shall give written notification to the other party of such election
within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s notice to Landlord of the occurrence of the damage.





 


		d)	If
the Leased Premises is substantially or totally destroyed by any cause whatsoever (i.e., the damage to the Leased Premises is greater
than partial damage as described in Paragraph 17(a)) or the Leased Premises is partially damaged as described in Paragraph 17(a) but
the reasonable time to repair exceeds one hundred eighty (180) days and regardless of whether Landlord receives any insurance proceeds,
this Lease shall terminate as of the date the destruction occurred.





 


		e)	If
the Leased Premises is destroyed or damaged and Landlord or Tenant repairs or restores the Leased Premises pursuant to the provisions
of this Paragraph, any rent payable during the period of such damage, repair and/or restoration shall be reduced according to the degree,
if any, to which Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises is impaired. Except for such possible reduction in Base Rent, Tenant shall not be
entitled to any compensation, reduction, or reimbursement from Landlord as a result of any damage, destruction, repair, or restoration
of or to the Leased Premises.





 


		f)	Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease if the Leased Premises is not fully restored as
required hereunder within one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of damage or destruction, substantial or otherwise

	18)	Condemnation.
                                            If all or any portion of the Leased Premises is taken under the power of eminent domain or
                                            sold under the threat of that power (each of which is called a “Condemnation”),
                                            this Lease shall terminate as to the part taken or sold on the date the condemning authority
                                            takes title or possession, whichever occurs first. If more than ten percent (10%) of the
                                            Leased Premises is taken or less than ten percent (10%) is taken but such taking interferes
                                            with Tenant’s ability to conduct its operations, Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the
                                            date the condemning authority takes title or possession, by delivering written notice to
                                            Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice of such taking (or in the
                                            absence of such notice, within ten (10) days after the condemning authority takes title or
                                            possession). If Tenant does not terminate this Lease, this Lease shall remain in effect as
                                            to the portion of the Leased Premises not taken, except that the Rent shall be reduced in
                                            proportion to the degree, if any, to which Tenant’s use of the Leased Premises is impaired.
                                            Any condemnation award or payment shall be distributed in the following order: (a) first,
                                            to any ground lessor, mortgagees or beneficiaries under a deed of trust encumbering the Leased
                                            Premises, the amount of its interest in the Leased Premises; (b) second, to Tenant, only
                                            the amount of any award specifically designated for loss or damage to Tenant’s personal property
                                            or cargo; and (c) third, to Landlord, the remainder of such award, whether as compensation
                                            for reduction in the value of the leasehold, the taking of the fee or otherwise.



 


	19)	Brokerage:
                                            Landlord and Tenant each warrant, covenant and represent to the other that neither party
                                            has dealt with any broker or agent in connection with this transaction (“Broker”).
                                            Landlord and Tenant hereby agree to indemnify and hold each other harmless from any claims
                                            for brokerage commissions and all costs, expenses and liabilities in connection therewith
                                            based upon their actions, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses
                                            arising out of a breach of either parties’ representations contained in this paragraph.
                                            In the event that the Landlord is held liable for any additional brokerage commission arising
                                            from any misstatement, then the amount of such liability shall be deemed additional rent
                                            and shall be collectible by Landlord from Tenant in the same manner as Rent. The provisions
                                            of this paragraph shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.



 


	20)	Signs
                                            and Auctions: Tenant shall not place any signs on the Leased Premises without Landlord’s
                                            prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld. Any signs approved by Landlord
                                            shall be installed and removed at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. Tenant shall be responsible
                                            for any licenses, permits or fees attributable to such signs and upon the expiration or earlier
                                            termination of this Lease, Tenant shall remove such signs. Tenant shall not conduct or permit
                                            any auctions or sheriff’s sales at the Leased Premises nor allow signs for any such events.



 


	21)	Default
                                            and Remedies: Tenant shall be in default of this Lease if Tenant breaches or fails to
                                            observe any of its covenants or obligations hereunder on the date set for such performance,
                                            including, without limitation, A) fails to timely pay any sum due hereunder, B) if Tenant
                                            permits any judgment to be entered against the Leased Premises or makes an assignment for
                                            the Benefit of Creditors or commit any other act of Bankruptcy; C) If a petition for adjudication
                                            of bankruptcy or for reorganization or rearrangement is filed by or against Tenant and is
                                            not dismissed within thirty (30) days; D) if a trustee or receiver is appointed to take possession
                                            of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Leased Premises or if Tenant’s interest
                                            in this Lease and possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; E) if substantially
                                            all of Tenant’s assets located at the Leased Premises or if Tenant’s interest in this Lease
                                            is subjected to attachment, execution or other judicial seizure which is not discharged within
                                            thirty (30) days. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the acts described
                                            in this paragraph is not a default under this Lease, and a trustee is appointed to take possession
                                            (or if Tenant remains a debtor in possession) and such trustee or Tenant transfers Tenant’s
                                            interest hereunder, then Landlord shall receive, as Rent, the excess, if any, of the rent
                                            (or any other consideration) paid in connection with such assignment or sublease.

		a)	If any default covered in section 20 is not cured within fifteen (15) days after written notice by Landlord
to Tenant, Landlord may :



 



		i)	immediately terminate this Lease and Tenant shall immediately vacate the Leased Premises and make arrangements
for the prompt removal of all cargo from the Leased Premises; or
	 	 	 



		ii)	pursue any other rights and remedies available to Landlord at law or in equity.
	 	 	 



		iii)	All remedies shall by cumulative and may be exercised concurrently or otherwise.



 


		b)	On the occurrence of any material default by Tenant, Landlord may, at any time thereafter, with or without

to possession of the Leased Premises by any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate, and Tenant shall immediately surrender
possession of the Leased Premises to Landlord. In such event, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all damages incurred by
Landlord by reason of Tenant’s default, including (1) the worth at the time of the default of the unpaid Rent and other charges which
Landlord has earned at the time of the termination; and (2) any other reasonable amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment
proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under the Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely
to result therefrom, including but not limited to, any cost or expenses Landlord incurs in maintaining or preserving the Leased Premises
after such default, the cost of recovering possession of the Leased Premises, expenses of reletting, including necessary renovation or
alteration of the Leased Premises, Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith, and any real estate commission

and recovering from Tenant the amount specified in this paragraph; (ii) maintaining Tenant’s right to possession, in which case this Lease
shall continue in effect whether or not Tenant has abandoned the Leased Premises and in such event, Landlord shall be entitled to enforce
all of the Landlord’s rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the Rent and all other charges as they become
due; (iii) pursuing any other remedy now or hereafter available to Landlord under the laws or judicial decisions of the state in which
the Leased Premises is located.



 


		c)	Landlord’s exercise of any right or remedy shall not prevent it from exercising any other right or remedy.



 


	22)	Entire Understanding: This Lease contains the entire understanding between the parties hereto and
supersedes any prior or contemporaneous contracts, agreements, understandings and/or negotiations, whether oral or written.



 


	23)	Assignment; Sublease: This Agreement shall not be assigned, nor shall all or a portion of the Leased
Premises be subleased, by Tenant without the express written consent of Landlord which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Lease, it is agreed that Tenant shall have the right, without
