improvements, and Landlord shall not be responsible for the stoppage or interruption of any such utilities or other services and no such interruption shall result in an abatement of Rent. The failure by Landlord to furnish, or the interruption or
termination of such utilities or other services in whole or in part resulting from causes beyond the reasonable control of Landlord (including, without limitation, Force Majeure (as defined below)) shall not render Landlord liable in any respect or
be construed as an eviction of Tenant, or work an abatement of Rent, or relieve Tenant from any of its obligations hereunder. If Tenant fails to pay for any utilities or services provided by Landlord hereunder within 3 calendar days of when the

heating, air conditioning and ventilation systems not exclusively serving the Premises including all common areas. Landlord shall not be responsible for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant caused by any such repairs or maintenance, and Tenant
shall not reduce or withhold any portion of any Rent payment without a prior final judicial determination of Tenant’s right to do so. However, Landlord shall diligently endeavor to avoid interrupting service for maintenance during the buildings
operating hours. In the event any of the foregoing repairs or maintenance is required because of any act or omission of Tenant or its employees, agents, invitees or representatives, then Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand all costs and expenses
incurred by Landlord in performing such repairs or maintenance. Neither Landlord nor its agents have made any representations or warranties (either express or implied) with respect to the Premises or the condition thereof, and Tenant accepts the

trade fixtures or other personal property. 
 b.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Section 17, in the event the Building and/or the Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon thirty (45) days written notice to Tenant if (i) any lender holding a

Premises immediately prior to such Taking (less the portion of the Premises so taken). In the event a portion of the Premises is taken, Base Rent shall equitably abate based on the nature and extent of the Premises so taken. Tenant shall have no
claim against any award or proceeds for any such Taking, and Tenant hereby assigns all of its right and interest to such award and proceeds to Landlord, except that Tenant shall have the right to make a separate award for its moving expenses and

and take delivery of any of Tenant’s property that remains in the Premises or in storage within ten (10) days after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, including paying Landlord all amounts due under this Lease, including,
without limitation, all costs of removal and storage of such property, Landlord may sell all or any portion of such property at a public or private sale after having given Tenant ten (10) days prior written notice. Landlord may apply the
proceeds of such sale to the costs of removal, storage and sale of the property, and then to all amounts due Landlord under this Lease. Any amount remaining shall be paid to Tenant upon Tenant’s written demand, without interest. 
 20.    HOLDING OVER. If Tenant holds over and remains in possession of the Premises beyond the expiration of the Term
or other termination of this Lease, such holding over shall not be deemed or construed to be a renewal of this Lease, but shall constitute the creation of a month-to-month tenancy which may be terminated by either Landlord or Tenant upon thirty
(30) days prior written notice the other party. By such holding over, Tenant shall be deemed to have agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Lease, except that during such month-to-month tenancy, Tenant shall pay a monthly rental
rate equal to one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the Rent for the immediately preceding month. Tenant shall indemnify Landlord for any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord as a result of any holdover by Tenant, including any costs or

	 	iv.	Tenant’s filing a petition for relief of any kind under the provisions of Title 11 or Title 7 of the United States Code, as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”), or an
involuntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code is filed against Tenant, or a receiver or trustee is appointed for all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets. 

 b.    Upon any Event of Default, in addition to any other rights and remedies under this Lease, at law or in equity,
and with or without terminating this Lease, Landlord and its agents and representatives may exercise any or all of the following rights and remedies : (i) bring suit for the collection of any amounts for which Tenant may be in default, or for
the performance of any covenant or agreement required to be performed by Tenant hereunder; (ii) terminate this Lease or terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Premises, in which case Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand for all
damages suffered by Landlord as a result of such default, including, without limitation, all past due Rent, all Rent due under this Lease from the date of such termination until the earlier of the end of the Term or the date upon which the Premises
is completely relet, and all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with reletting the Premises; and/or (iii) cure any such breach or default on behalf of Tenant, in which case Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand for all the

cure any such breach or default by Tenant prior to the expiration of the applicable notice and cure period if reasonably necessary to protect the Premises or the Building, to prevent injury or damage to persons or property or in the event of any
other emergency, and Tenant shall pay to Landlord all amounts expended by Landlord to cure such default within ten (10) days of written notice to Tenant of such amount. In the event Landlord shall terminate this Lease, Landlord shall have the
right to relet the Premises to such persons and upon such terms as Landlord shall determine in its sole discretion, and Tenant shall pay Landlord upon demand all costs and expenses associated with such reletting, including, without limitation,
attorneys’ fees, brokerage commissions and all costs and expenses for any alterations, improvements or upfitting performed to the Premises. Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs incurred by
Landlord as a result of any default by Tenant hereunder. All amounts due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder shall bear interest at the lesser of ten percent (10%) per annum, compounded monthly, or the maximum interest rate allowable under law,
until paid in full. 
 22.     SUBORDINATION. Tenant’s interest under this Lease and in
the Premises is and shall remain subordinate to every present and future mortgage, deed of trust or other security instrument encumbering the Building and/or the Premises and any extensions, modifications or renewals thereof, and to all advances
made thereunder. This provision is self-operative; provided, however, fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s request, Tenant agrees to execute any additional documents as may be required by Landlord or by any third party (including any lender
of Landlord), including any additional document to evidence such subordination. If Tenant fails to execute any such document within fifteen (15) days of request, such failure shall constitute an Event of Default as set forth in Section 21.

transferee as Tenant’s landlord under this Lease; (ii) Tenant agrees to continue to perform all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease for such purchaser or transferee; and (iii) Tenant shall look solely to such purchaser or

Tenant, or a detailed description of such default; (iv) Tenant is in possession of the Premises; and (v) any other information reasonably requested. If Tenant shall fail to execute such document within ten (10) days of request, Tenant

termination of this Lease, provided Tenant has fully performed all obligations to be performed by Tenant hereunder and no default by Tenant exists hereunder. Landlord, without prejudice to any other remedy, shall have the right to apply all or any
part of the Security Deposit to cure any default of Tenant. If Landlord so uses any part of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall, upon demand, deposit with Landlord the amount so applied so that Landlord shall have the full Security Deposit on hand at

the Security Deposit and Tenant shall look solely to the new landlord for the return of the Security Deposit. The Security Deposit shall not be assigned or encumbered by Tenant without the prior written consent of Landlord. The Security Deposit
shall bear interest which will be paid to the Landlord to cover expenses of maintaining the Security Deposit Account and the security deposits may be commingled with other funds of Landlord. The Security Deposit is not an advance rental deposit or a

other personal property of Tenant which are or may be put into the Premises during the Term and all proceeds of the foregoing, and such property shall not be removed from the Premises during the Term without the consent of Landlord other than in the
ordinary course of business. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under this Lease, Landlord shall have, in addition to any other remedies provided herein or at law, all rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial
Code, as adopted in North Carolina, including, without limitation, the right to sell the property described in this Section 31 at public or private sale upon ten (10) days written notice to Tenant, and Landlord shall have the right to
become the purchaser of such property, upon being the highest bidder at the sale. Tenant agrees to execute and deliver to Landlord, and authorizes Landlord to prepare and record in the appropriate recording offices, financing statements or other
necessary documents requested by Landlord to effect and/or perfect such security interest, and Tenant agrees that this Lease may be recorded by Landlord in the appropriate recording offices as a financing statement. Any statutory lien for rent is
not hereby waived, the express contractual lien herein granted being in addition and supplementary thereto.
