**<u>Sale-Leaseback of 5115 Ulmerton Road, Clearwater, Florida</u>:**

On March 14, 2023, Apyx Medical Corporation (the "Company") entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with VK Acquisitions VI, LLC (the "Purchaser"), for the sale of the Company's facility located at 5115 Ulmerton Road, Clearwater, Florida, as more fully described in the Purchase Agreement (collectively, the "Property") for a purchase price of $7,650,000. The Purchase Agreement is subject to the satisfactory completion of due diligence by the Purchaser within thirty (30) days from the date of execution, during which time the Purchaser retains the right to cancel the Purchase Agreement. The closing shall occur five (5) days following the expiration of the due diligence period. Upon execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser paid a down payment of $400,000 into escrow, which shall be held in accordance with the Purchase Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the transaction is not conditioned upon Purchaser obtaining any form of financing. The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants.

In accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, upon the closing of the sale of the Property, the Company will enter into a Single Tenant Industrial Building Lease (the "Lease") with the Purchaser, pursuant to which the Property will be leased back to the Company. The Lease will have an initial term of ten (10) years commencing from the closing (the "Initial Term"), and a renewal term of five (5) years, exercisable at the Company's option. The annual fixed rent will be $619,500 for the first year of the Initial Term, and will be subject to a 4% escalation every year thereafter through the Initial Term. Rent will be reset to the current market rate should the Company exercise the renewal option. The Lease provides for a 3% management fee on rent payments throughout the Initial Term and optional renewal term.

The Lease is a triple net lease, pursuant to which all costs, expenses, and obligations relating to the Property, including, repair and maintenance charges, utility charges, real estate taxes or other taxes that may be imposed that relate to the Property, shall be paid by the Company. In addition, the Lease contains other customary terms and provisions generally contained within leases of this type.

The net cash proceeds the Company expects to receive following closing is approximately $6,700,000 after taxes, expenses, and fees. This estimate is subject to the consummation of the transaction and the finalization of the Company's obligations associated with the sale. The Company anticipates that the net cash proceeds will be used to strengthen its balance sheet and provide working capital.

The foregoing is a summary of the material terms of the Purchase Agreement and Lease and is qualified entirely by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement and Lease, copies of which are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2, respectively.

**<u>ARTICLE 4</u>**

**<u>IMPOSITIONS</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Obligation to Pay Impositions.</u>** In addition to paying the Base Rent specified in Article 3 hereof, Tenant shall also pay to Landlord as additional rent, Taxes (as defined below), a property management fee (not to exceed 3% of the Base Rent for the calendar year) (the "Management Fee"), and the insurance premiums paid by Landlord pursuant to the terms of Article 22 of this Lease provided that such insurance premiums are commercially reasonable (the "Insurance Premiums"), as determined in accordance with this Article 4 (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Impositions").

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Payment of Taxes by Tenant.</u>** Tenant shall pay as additional rent for the Premises, such payment to be made in the manner provided in Article 4.5 below, all real estate taxes and assessments, foreseen or unforeseen, which may be levied, assessed, charged or imposed during the Term of the Lease upon the Premises, or any part thereof, or upon any improvements at any time situated thereon, and any sales or use tax of Rents (hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"); provided, however, that Taxes levied against the Premises for any calendar year falling within the Term shall be prorated between Landlord and Tenant as of the Commencement Date for the first year of the Term and as of the Expiration Date of the Term for the last year of the Term (on the basis of Landlord's reasonable estimate thereof).

*ACTIVE 685132794v3*

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**4.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Imposition Payments.</u>** On or before the first day of each and every month of the Term, Tenant shall pay Landlord a sum equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the last ascertainable amount (or at Landlord's election, a sum equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of Landlord's reasonable estimate of the current amount) of Impositions for the applicable calendar year, which monthly payments shall be held by Landlord and shall be used to the extent thereof to pay as the same become due and payable. Prior to or promptly after the beginning of each calendar year during the Term, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written estimate of the Impositions to be paid by Tenant during each such calendar year. Landlord shall have the right to increase the required amount of said monthly estimate to an amount necessary, in Landlord's reasonable estimate, to ensure that there will be a sufficient amount on deposit to pay the next installment of Impositions not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date on which said amounts are due. The monthly payment shall not limit or alter Tenant's obligation to pay Impositions; provided, however, that said amounts shall be fully utilized by Landlord for the payment of Impositions. The amount of the payments shall be readjusted annually upon Landlord's receipt of accurate information, to reflect the actual amount of Impositions for such calendar year.

To the extent such information had not been previously provided to Tenant, within one hundred twenty (120) days after the close of each calendar year during the Term, upon receipt of the invoice for all Taxes for each calendar year during the Term, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a statement of that year's actual Impositions ("Reconciliation Statement"). Unless Tenant delivers a written notice of objection within sixty (60) days after receipt of the Reconciliation Statement, such Reconciliation Statement shall be binding upon Tenant. If the total amount of the actual Impositions is more than the estimated payments for same for such calendar year made by Tenant, then Tenant shall pay the deficiency to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of the Reconciliation Statement. If the total amount of the actual Impositions is less than the estimated payments for same for such calendar year made by Tenant, then, at Landlord's sole option, Landlord shall within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of the Reconciliation Statement either pay the overage to Tenant or provide Tenant with a Rent credit in the amount of the overage. No delay in providing the Reconciliation Statement pursuant hereto shall act as a waiver or off-set of Landlord's right to payment hereunder. Landlord and Tenant's obligations under this Article 4.4 shall survive the expiration of the Lease.

**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.5&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Representations and Warranties.</u>** Tenant agrees and acknowledges that Landlord has made no representation, warranty or guaranty relating to the amount of the Impositions. Tenant has had an opportunity to consult with Landlord with respect to the Impositions projected for the operation of the Premises but has not relied upon any statements or representations of Landlord or any agent or affiliate of Landlord in regard thereto in executing this Lease and agreeing to perform the terms and covenants hereof and shall make no claims against Landlord based thereon.

**<u>ARTICLE 5</u>**

**<u>USE OF PREMISES</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Permitted Uses</u>**. Tenant shall use and occupy the Premises for the Permitted Uses described in Article 1.7 and for no other use or purpose. In addition, Tenant, and its employees, guests and invitees, shall have the right to use the surface automobile parking spaces on the Premises during the Term of the Lease. Tenant shall be responsible for verifying with the applicable governmental authorities that Tenant's intended use of the Premises is permitted under applicable Legal Requirements. Tenant shall disclose to Landlord, upon request, the type of hazardous materials that are stored and distributed from the Premises.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**5.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Prohibited Uses</u>**.

**<u>DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION BY CASUALTY</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**16.1&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Damage to Premises</u>.** In the event the Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty or cause either insured by Landlord or insurable under the insurance required to be carried by Landlord under this Lease (an "Insurable Casualty"), Landlord agrees to promptly restore and repair the Premises at Landlord's expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Premises are damaged to an extent that such damage materially and adversely impacts Tenant's ordinary use of the Premises and the estimated period to complete rebuilding or repairs to a condition that does not materially and adversely impact Tenant's ordinary use of the Premises (the "Estimated Restoration Period") exceeds one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of the occurrence of damage (as reasonably determined by Landlord in the exercise of reasonable and good faith discretion), then Landlord and Tenant shall each have the right to terminate this Lease by giving written notice to the other party within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice of the determination of the Estimated Restoration Period, in which event this Lease shall terminate and the Rent (whether Base Rent, Impositions or other additional rent) shall be abated for the unexpired portion of this Lease, effective as of the date of the occurrence of damage.

*ACTIVE 685132794v3*

------

Landlord shall deliver to Tenant written notice of Landlord's informed estimate of the Estimated Restoration Period within sixty (60) days of the occurrence of damage.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**16.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Restoration</u>.** If the Premises are damaged by an Insurable Casualty, but the Estimated Restoration Period is less than the applicable period set forth in Article 16.1 above, or if Landlord and Tenant have a right to terminate this Lease pursuant to Article 16.1 but neither Landlord nor Tenant exercises its right to terminate this Lease as provided in Article 16.1, then this Lease shall not terminate, and Landlord shall, at its sole cost, make such repair or restoration of the Premises (excluding any Alterations and any of Tenant's property) to the approximate condition existing prior to such damage, promptly and in such manner as not to unreasonably interfere with Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises (if Tenant is still occupying the Premises), provided however, Landlord shall not be liable for any inconvenience or annoyance to Tenant or injury to the business of Tenant resulting in any way from such damage or the repair thereof. Without limiting Landlord's obligations under the preceding sentence, all repair, restoration and rebuilding shall be substantially completed within the relevant Estimated Restoration Period (subject to extension for force majeure), and if such repair, restoration and rebuilding is not substantially completed within the relevant Estimated Restoration Period (subject to extension for any such force majeure), Tenant shall have the right, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of such termination to Landlord no earlier than sixty (60) days after the expiration of the relevant Estimated Restoration Period (subject to extension for any such force majeure) unless said repair is substantially completed prior to Tenant's delivery of said termination notice. Rent shall proportionately abate during the time that the Premises or any part thereof cannot be reasonably used by Tenant in the ordinary conduct of its business by reason of any such damage thereto (or the resulting restoration or repair work).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**16.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Uninsured Casualty</u>**. Notwithstanding any contrary provision contained herein, if the Premises are damaged and either (a) the cause of such damage is not an Insurable Casualty, or (b) intentionally omitted, or (c) there is less than two (2) years of the Term remaining, then Landlord shall not be required to rebuild or repair such damage; provided, however, that if Landlord elects not to repair such damage, Landlord shall notify Tenant of such election within sixty (60) days of the date of occurrence of damage and, in such event, either party may terminate this Lease effective as of the date of the occurrence of damage by delivering written notice of such termination to the other party within thirty (30) days of Tenant's receipt of Landlord's notice not to repair.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**16.4**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Exercise of Renewal Term.</u>** If the casualty damage occurs more than twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the Term of the Lease, Tenant may elect to exercise the Option to Renew within ninety (90) days of the casualty event.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**17.1**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Taking of Whole.</u>** If the whole of the Premises shall be taken or condemned (which shall include for purposes of this Article 17 any deed granted by Landlord in lieu of condemnation) for a public or quasi-public use or purpose by a competent authority, or if such a portion of the Premises shall be so taken that, as a result thereof, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord or Tenant the balance cannot be used for the same purpose and with substantially the same utility to Tenant as immediately prior to such taking, or if the taking is material and substantial and a party elects (and in the case of a termination by Landlord, subject to the consent of any Landlord's mortgagee ("Mortgagee") whose consent thereto is required) to terminate this Lease, which election shall be made by giving written notice thereof to the other party within thirty (30) days after delivery of possession to the condemning authority, then in any of such events, the Term shall terminate upon delivery of possession to the condemning authority, and any award, compensation or damages (hereinafter sometimes called the "Award") shall be paid to and be the sole property of Landlord, whether the Award shall be made as compensation for diminution of the value of the leasehold estate or the fee of the Premises or otherwise and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord all of Tenant's right, title and interest in and to any and all of the Award; provided, however, that Tenant shall have the right to make a separate claim for and recover from the condemning authority (i) any moving expenses incurred by Tenant as a result of such taking, (ii) the value of any Alteration made by Tenant to the Premises, (iii) the value of any Tenant property taken, and (iv) any business damages. Tenant shall continue to pay Rent and other charges hereunder until the Lease is terminated.

Rent shall be abated in proportion to the amount of the Premises or any part thereof cannot be reasonably used by Tenant in the ordinary conduct of its business by reason of any such Taking. Landlord shall promptly and diligently proceed to make a complete architectural unit of the remainder of the improvements and restore the same to as good as or better condition that existed prior to the taking.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**18.2&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Rights and Remedies of Landlord.</u>** If a Default occurs, Landlord shall have the rights and remedies hereinafter set forth, which shall be distinct, separate and cumulative and shall not operate to exclude or deprive Landlord of any other right or remedy allowed it by law or in equity:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1)Landlord may terminate this Lease by giving to Tenant notice of Landlord's election to do so, in which event the Term of this Lease shall end, and all right, title and interest of Tenant hereunder shall expire on the date stated in such notice;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2)Landlord may terminate the right of Tenant to possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease by giving notice to Tenant that Tenant's right of possession shall end on the date stated in such notice, whereupon the right of Tenant to possession of the Premises or any part thereof shall cease on the date stated in such notice;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3)Landlord may enforce the provisions of this Lease and may enforce and protect the rights of Landlord hereunder by a suit or suits in equity or at law for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained herein, or for the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy, including recovery of all moneys due or to become due from Tenant under any of the provisions of this Lease; and.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(4)Landlord may perform the obligation which is the subject of such Default for the account and at the expense of Tenant. All costs incurred by Landlord in performing such obligation, plus an administrative fee equal to five percent (5%) of such costs, plus all attorneys' fees and expenses of Landlord incurred in enforcing any of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall become additional rent hereunder and shall be due and payable by Tenant on demand.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**18.3&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Right to Re-Enter.</u>** If Landlord exercises either of the remedies provided for in subparagraphs (a) and (b) of the foregoing Article 18.2, Tenant shall surrender possession and vacate the Premises and immediately deliver possession thereof to Landlord, and Landlord may re-enter and take complete and peaceful possession of the Premises to the extent permitted by Florida law, full and complete license so to do being hereby granted to Landlord, and Landlord may remove all occupants and property therefrom, using such force as may be necessary, without being deemed in any manner guilty of trespass, eviction or forcible entry and detainer and without relinquishing Landlord's right to Rent or any other right given to Landlord hereunder or by operation of law.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**18.4&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Current Damages.</u>** If Landlord terminates the right of Tenant to possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to immediate recovery of all amounts then due hereunder. Such termination of possession shall not release Tenant, in whole or in part, from Tenant's obligation to pay the Rent hereunder for the full Term, and Landlord shall have the right, from time to time, to recover from Tenant, and Tenant shall remain liable for, all Base Rent, Impositions and any other sums accruing as they become due under this Lease during the period from the date of such notice of termination of possession to the stated end of the Term. In any such case Landlord may relet the Premises or any part thereof for the account of Tenant for such rent, for such time (which may be for a term extending beyond the Term of this Lease) and upon such terms as Landlord shall determine and collect the rents from such reletting. Landlord shall not be required to accept any tenant offered by Tenant or to observe any instructions given by Tenant relative to such reletting, but Landlord agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to relet the Premises to mitigate damages. Also, in any such case, Landlord may make repairs, alterations and additions in or to the Premises and redecorate the same to the extent deemed by Landlord necessary or desirable and, in connection therewith, change the locks to the Premises, and Tenant shall upon demand pay the cost of all the foregoing together with Landlord's expenses of reletting. The rents from any such reletting shall be applied first to the payment of the expenses of reentry, redecoration, repair and alterations and the expenses of reletting (including brokers' commissions and reasonable attorneys' fees), and second to the payment of Rent herein provided to be paid by Tenant. Any excess or residue shall operate only as an offsetting credit against the amount of Rent due and owing as the same thereafter becomes due and payable hereunder, and the use of such offsetting credit to reduce the amount of Rent due Landlord, if any, shall not be deemed to give Tenant any right, title or interest in or to such excess or residue, and any such excess or residue shall belong to Landlord solely, and in no event shall Tenant be entitled to a credit on its indebtedness to Landlord in excess of the aggregate sum (including Base Rent and Impositions) which would have been paid by Tenant for the period for which the credit to Tenant is being determined, had no Default occurred. No such reentry or repossession, repairs, alterations and additions, or reletting shall be construed as an eviction or ouster of Tenant or as an election on Landlord's part to terminate this Lease, unless a written notice of such intention shall be given to Tenant, or shall

*ACTIVE 685132794v3*

operate to release Tenant in whole or in part from any of Tenant's obligations hereunder, and Landlord may, at any time and from time to time, sue and recover judgment for any deficiencies from time to time remaining after the application from time to time of the proceeds of any such reletting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**18.5**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Final Damages.</u>** If this Lease is terminated by Landlord as provided for by subparagraph (a) of Article 18.2, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all Rent accrued and unpaid for the period up to and including such termination date, as well as all accelerate any Rent payments and other additional sums payable by Tenant or for which Tenant is liable or in respect of which Tenant has agreed to indemnify Landlord under any of the provisions of this Lease, which may be then owing and unpaid, and all costs and expenses, including court costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by Landlord in the enforcement of its rights and remedies hereunder, and, in addition, Landlord shall be entitled to recover as damages for loss of the bargain and not as a penalty: (a) the unamortized portion of any brokerage commissions paid by Landlord as a result of this Lease and of Landlord's contribution to the cost of tenant improvements and alterations, if any, installed by either Landlord or Tenant pursuant to this Lease or any Work Letter; (b) the aggregate sum which at the time of such termination represents the excess, if any, of the present value of the aggregate rents which would have been payable after the termination date had this Lease not been terminated, including, without limitation, Base Rent at the annual rate or respective annual rates for the remainder of the Term provided for in Article 3 of this Lease or elsewhere herein and the amount projected by Landlord to represent Impositions for the remainder of the Term over the then-present value of: the then-aggregate fair rental value of the Premises for the balance of the Term, such present worth to be computed in each case on the basis of a five percent (5%) per annum discount from the respective dates upon which such rentals would have been payable hereunder had this Lease not been terminated; and (c) any damages in addition thereto, including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs, which Landlord shall have sustained by reason of the breach of any of the covenants of this Lease other than for the payment of Rent. Notwithstanding the above, Tenant's Security Deposit will offset any amounts due under Articles 18.4 and 18.5.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**18.6&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Removal of Personal Property.</u>** All property of Tenant removed from the Premises by Landlord pursuant to any provisions of this Lease or of law may be handled, removed or stored by Landlord at the cost and expense of Tenant, and Landlord shall in no event be responsible for the value, preservation or safekeeping thereof. Tenant shall pay Landlord for all expenses incurred by Landlord in such removal and storage charges against such property so long as the same shall be in Landlord's possession or under Landlord's control. All such property not removed from the Premises or retaken from storage by Tenant within thirty (30) days after the end of the Term, however terminated, shall, at Landlord's option, be conclusively deemed to have been "abandoned" or conveyed by Tenant to Landlord as by bill of sale without further payment or credit by Landlord to Tenant. In such event, Landlord may dispose of such property in any manner Landlord wishes and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all costs incurred for disposal, together with all costs or repairs required because of removal of all or any such abandoned property. For the purposes of this Article 18 the term "property" of Tenant shall not include any tradenames, trademarks, service marks, patents or other intellectual or proprietary property of Tenant or licensed to Tenant.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**18.7&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Attorneys' Fees.</u>** The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover all costs, charges and expenses, including court costs and attorneys' fees, incurred in enforcing its rights under this Lease, or incurred by a party in any litigation, negotiation or transaction in which causes the other to become involved or concerned.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**18.8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<u>Assumption or Rejection in Bankruptcy.</u>** If Tenant shall be adjudged bankrupt or if a trustee-in-bankruptcy shall be appointed for Tenant, Landlord and Tenant agree, to the extent permitted by law, to request that the trustee in bankruptcy shall determine within sixty (60) days thereafter whether to assume or reject this Lease.

further instruments, in such form as may be required by Landlord or any Mortgagee of a proposed or existing Mortgage and otherwise acceptable to Tenant, in its reasonable discretion, subordinating this Lease to the lien of any such Mortgage. Landlord will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an SNDA from any Mortgagee. If and as a Mortgagee shall so elect, this Lease and Tenant's rights hereunder shall be superior and prior in right to its Mortgage, with the same force and effect as if this Lease had been executed, delivered and recorded prior to the execution, delivery and recording of such Mortgage.

In the event of the foreclosure of any such Mortgage by voluntary agreement or otherwise, or the commencement of any judicial action seeking such foreclosure, Tenant, at the request of the Mortgagee and subject to the SNDA, shall attorn to such Mortgagee or purchaser in foreclosure or the party who, but for this Lease, would be entitled to possession of the Premises, and Tenant agrees that this Lease shall not terminate unless Tenant is specifically named and joined in any such action and unless a judgment is obtained therein against Tenant. Tenant shall, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of written notice by Landlord or such Mortgagee, purchaser, or their successors, execute and deliver any instrument in such form as may be required by Landlord or such Mortgagee, purchaser, or their successors and reasonably acceptable to Tenant, to further evidence such attornment.

Tenant shall send to the Mortgagee (after notification of the identity of such Mortgagee and the mailing address thereof) copies of all notices that Tenant sends to Landlord subject to and in accordance with the SNDA.

Tenant agrees to give any Mortgagee by registered or certified mail, a copy of any notice or claim of Default served upon Landlord by Tenant, provided that prior to such notice Tenant has been notified in writing (by way of service on Tenant of a copy of an assignment of Landlord's interests in leases, or otherwise) of the address of such Mortgagee. Tenant further agrees that if Landlord shall have failed to cure such Default within twenty (20) days after such notice to Landlord (or if such Default cannot be cured or corrected within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary if Landlord has commenced within such twenty (20) days and is diligently pursuing the remedies or steps necessary to cure or correct such Default), then Mortgagee shall have an additional thirty (30) days within which to cure or correct such Default (or if such Default cannot be cured or corrected within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary if such holder of the Mortgage has commenced within such thirty (30) days and is diligently pursuing the remedies or steps necessary to cure or correct such Default, including the time necessary to obtain possession if possession is necessary to cure or correct such Default).

Tenant agrees that, from time to time upon not less than ten (10) days' prior request by Landlord or the holder of any Mortgage or any ground lessor, Tenant (or any permitted assignee, subtenant, licensee, concessionaire or other occupant of the Premises claiming by, through or under Tenant) will deliver to Landlord, or to the holder of any Mortgage or any ground lessor, a statement in writing signed by Tenant certifying (a) that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that this Lease as modified is in full force and effect and identifying the modifications); (b) the date upon which Tenant began paying Rent and the dates to which the Rent and other charges have been paid; (c) that Landlord is not in Default under any provision of this Lease, or, if in Default, the nature thereof in detail; (d) that the Premises have been completed in accordance with the terms hereof and Tenant is in occupancy and paying Rent on a current basis with no rental offsets or claims; (e) that there has been no prepayment of Rent other than that provided for in this Lease; (f) that there are no actions, whether voluntary or otherwise, pending against Tenant under the bankruptcy laws of the United States or any state thereof; and (g) such other matters as may be required by Landlord, the holder of the Mortgage or any ground lessor.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**22.1**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**<u>Waiver of Subrogation.</u>** Landlord and Tenant agree to have all fire and extended coverage and other property damage insurance which may be carried by either of them endorsed with a clause providing that any release from liability of, or waiver of claim for, recovery from the other party entered into in writing by the insured thereunder prior to any loss or damage shall not affect the validity of said policy or the right of the insured to recover thereunder and providing further that the insurer waives all rights of subrogation which such insurer might have against the other party. Without limiting any release or waiver of liability or recovery set forth elsewhere in this Lease, and notwithstanding anything in this Lease which may appear to be to the contrary, each of the parties hereto waives all claims for recovery from the other party for any loss or damage to any of its property insured under valid and collectible insurance policies to the extent of any recovery collectible under such insurance policies. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, any release or any waiver of claims shall not be operative, nor shall the foregoing endorsements be required, in any case where the effect of such release or waiver is to invalidate insurance coverage or invalidate the right of the insured to recover thereunder or to increase the cost thereof (provided that in the case of increased cost the other party shall have the right, within ten (10) days following written notice, to pay such increased cost keeping such release or waiver in full force and effect).

The Commercial General Liability policy shall include Landlord, Landlord's management agent, any ground lessor (if applicable), any primary lessor (if applicable), and any Mortgagee designated by Landlord from time to time as additional insureds (collectively "Additional Insureds") on a primary and non-contributory basis to any insurance carried by the Additional Insureds.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Insurance against "all risks" of physical loss for the full insurable replacement value of the initial condition of the Premises (including, without limitation, the Improvements) and all Alterations, and of all furniture, trade fixtures, equipment, merchandise, installations, supplies, and all other items of Tenant's property on the Premises, including any property of Landlord. Such insurance shall without limitation, include coverage for sprinkler leakage, earthquake, leakage from any window or sill, and all other types of water damage, including bursting, leakage or stoppage of any pipes. During the Term, the proceeds from any such insurance shall be used for the repair or replacement of Tenant's property. No lack or inadequacy of insurance by Tenant shall in any event
