upon the Leased Premises, or become payable during the Term with respect to the Leased Premises. If by law any such imposition is payable or may at the option of the taxpayer be paid in installments, Tenant may pay the same, together with any

(g) Tenant shall have the right to contest in good faith the amount or validity of any such imposition by appropriate legal
proceedings (but this shall not be deemed or construed in any way as relieving, modifying or extending Tenant’s covenants to pay any such imposition at the time and in the manner as herein provided), on the condition, however, that such legal
proceedings shall not cause the sale of the Leased Premises or any part thereof to satisfy such imposition, and Tenant shall have deposited with Landlord, as security for the payment of such imposition, cash in an amount sufficient to pay such
imposition, together with all interest and penalties in connection therewith, and all charges that may be assessed against or become a charge on the Leased Premises or any part thereof, in said legal proceedings. Upon termination of such legal
proceedings, the money so deposited shall be applied to the payment and discharge of said imposition, the interest and penalties in connection therewith and the charges and costs accruing in such legal proceedings, and the balance, if any, shall be
paid to Tenant, provided Tenant is not then in default under this Lease. In the event that such money shall be insufficient for this purpose, Tenant shall forthwith pay over to Landlord an amount of money sufficient, together with the money
deposited as aforesaid, to pay the same. Tenant shall be entitled to receive whatever interest shall actually be earned on the money deposited aforesaid. 

(h) Landlord agrees to join in any such proceedings if the same be required to legally prosecute such contest of the amount or
validity of such imposition, provided that Landlord shall not thereby be subjected to any liability for the payment of any costs, expenses, or legal or other fees in connection therewith. Tenant covenants to indemnify and save Landlord harmless from
any such costs, expenses or fees. Tenant shall be entitled to all refunds of any such imposition and penalties or interest thereon which have been paid by Tenant (or paid by Landlord and for which Landlord has been fully reimbursed by Tenant or

extended coverage insurance, vandalism and malicious mischief, and originating from any cause whatsoever, including negligent or other acts or omissions of Landlord or Tenant, or any of the agents or employees thereof; provided that the parties are
able to obtain a clause or provision in their respective insurance policies permitting such waiver. 
 (e) If during the Term
the building, or any of the improvements or equipment on the Leased Premises are either partially damaged or substantially or wholly destroyed by fire or other casualty or cause, Landlord shall repair, rebuild or restore the same in such manner and
to such extent as shall make the same or any substitute therefore as nearly as practicable of the same character and condition as before such loss or damage, all pursuant to plans and specifications of Tenant approved by Landlord, which approval

 11. Removal of Property of Tenant. Any trade fixtures, moveable partitions or other
personal property of Tenant placed or located in or upon the Leased Premises may be removed by Tenant, provided it is not then in default under this Lease. Any damage to the Leased Premises caused by the installation or removal of the same shall be
repaired promptly by Tenant. The Leased Premises and all parts thereof shall be restored and left by Tenant, at or prior to the end of the Term, in as good condition as they were in before the installation of the items removed, except for ordinary
wear and tear. All property not so removed shall be deemed abandoned by Tenant to Landlord. 
 12. Assignment and Subletting. Tenant
shall not sublet the Leased Premises or any part thereof, nor assign this Lease, without in each case obtaining the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and Tenant nevertheless shall at all times
continue and remain directly liable to Landlord for all its obligations under this Lease. It is specifically understood and agreed that if Tenant shall abandon the Leased Premises, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or file a
petition for bankruptcy relief, or if a receiver or trustee of its property shall be appointed, or if it shall take the benefit of any insolvency or bankruptcy act or law, or if any interest of Tenant in this Lease shall pass to another by operation
of law, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option and without notice, at once terminate this Lease and take possession of the Leased Premises. 

13. Landlord’s Access To Leased Premises. Landlord, and Landlord’s agents, employees and representatives shall have access to
the Leased Premises at all reasonable times for the purpose of examining and inspecting the same, showing the Leased Premises to a prospective tenant or purchaser, and making repairs and replacements which Tenant is required to make but has failed
to make after ten (10) days’ written notice from Landlord to Tenant, except as otherwise provided in paragraph 16. However, nothing contained herein shall impose upon Landlord any obligation to make any repairs or replacements which Tenant
is obligated to make hereunder. The usual “For Rent” or “For Sale” signs may be placed upon the Leased Premises at any time within the last five (5) months of the Term, or at any time Tenant is in default hereunder. 

14. Compliance With Lease Provisions. Tenant agrees to pay the rents and other monies at the times and in the manner aforesaid during
the Term, and at the expiration thereof or earlier termination of the lease for any cause to deliver up the Leased Premises to Landlord peacefully and quietly in the condition called for by the terms of this Lease. Tenant further agrees that it will
not suffer any waste to be committed upon the Leased Premises, that it will use the same only for the purposes described herein; that it will observe special care and caution to preserve the Leased Premises from damage or injury by fire or
otherwise; that it will observe and comply with such rules and regulations as may be required by the insurance company or companies that may insure the Leased Premises; and that it will observe and comply with all ordinances or laws, rules and
regulations of federal, state, and local governments, and all agencies thereof, in connection with using or occupying the Leased Premises and conducting its business or activities thereon.

 15. Default By Tenant. It is mutually understood and agreed that if Tenant shall default
in the payment of any of the rents above stipulated or any part thereof, or shall default in the payment of any other monies required to be paid hereunder or any part thereof, or shall be in default for breach of, noncompliance with or failure to
perform any covenant, agreement, condition or provision required on Tenant’s part to be kept, complied with or performed hereunder (other than the payment of rent or other monies hereunder), each or any of which events or occurrences shall
constitute a default of Tenant under this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease as hereinafter provided. If Landlord, in the event of any such default, desires to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall give written notice of the
default to Tenant, and Tenant shall have fifteen (15) days after the giving of such notice to cure any default based upon the nonpayment of any rent or other monies as aforesaid, and Tenant shall have thirty (30) days to cure any other
default. However, if at the end of that thirty (30) day period such other default has not been completely cured but Tenant has commenced to cure the same and has employed diligent efforts to do so, the right of Landlord to terminate this Lease
shall be abated as long as Tenant proceeds with due diligence to cure such default. If the default is not cured within the applicable period of time above provided, it shall be lawful for Landlord, or Landlord’s agents, attorneys or assigns, in
addition to any and all other remedies provided by law or this Lease, to declare the Term ended and to re-enter said Leased Premises either with or without process of law, and to expel or remove Tenant or any person or persons occupying the same,
and to retake possession of the Leased Premises and all buildings and other improvements located thereon, without hindrance or delay, and without prejudice to any remedies or rights which Landlord may have for rent in arrears or any preceding breach
of covenants, or for future rents accruing during the remainder of the Term which Landlord shall not reasonably be able to mitigate, whether such expulsion or removal is accomplished directly by Landlord, by legal proceedings instituted for such
purpose, or otherwise. 
 16. Landlord’s Right To Perform Tenant’s Covenants. Tenant covenants and agrees that if Tenant
shall at any time fail to pay any amount then required to be paid by it under this Lease (including any imposition pursuant to the provisions of Section 6 hereof), or if Tenant shall fail to perform any other covenant or agreement on
Tenant’s part required to be performed, then after ten (10) days’ written notice to and demand upon Tenant which is not complied with during such period, Landlord may (but shall not be obligated to do so), without waiving or releasing
Tenant from any of the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, pay any such imposition or other sum or perform or pay others to perform such other covenant or agreement, provided that Landlord shall not be required to give said prior written notice
to Tenant in the case of repairs to the Leased Premises which must be made immediately to prevent or limit damage to the Leased Premises and which Tenant does not make upon demand by Landlord. All sums so paid by Landlord shall be deemed additional
rent hereunder and shall be payable to Landlord on demand, or at the option of Landlord may be added to any rent then due or thereafter becoming due under this Lease. Tenant covenants to pay or cause to be paid to Landlord any such sum or sums with
interest thereon at the rate of eighteen (18%) per cent per annum from the date of payment by Landlord; and Landlord shall have (in addition to any other right or remedy of Landlord) the same rights and remedies in the event of the nonpayment
thereof by Tenant as in the case of default by Tenant in the payment of rent. 

  
 9 

 17. Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord covenants and agrees with Tenant that upon Tenant paying the
rents and other monies hereunder and performing the covenants and agreements herein contained on its part to be performed, it shall at all times during said Term peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Leased Premises. 

18. Signs. Tenant shall be permitted, subject to the approval of Landlord, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, to erect
and maintain suitable signs on the Leased Premises at Tenant’s expense. Tenant shall have the right to remove such signs upon vacating the Leased Premises, but shall repair any damage to the building or Leased Premises caused by the
installation or removal of such signs. 
 19. Notices. 

(a) Any notice, demand or request which may be given or is required to be given by either of the parties to the other hereunder

the right to subordinate this Lease to the lien of any mortgage placed upon the Leased Premises or any part thereof, and Tenant agrees to execute and deliver upon demand such further instruments subordinating this Lease to the lien of any such
mortgage as requested by Landlord or any mortgagee or proposed mortgagee, and hereby irrevocably appoints Landlord the attorney-in-fact of Tenant to execute and deliver any such instrument or instruments for and in the name of Tenant; provided,
however, that any instrument subordinating this Lease to the lien of any such mortgage shall, as a condition thereof, provide that this Lease shall continue in full force and effect, and neither such mortgagee nor the receiver in the event of
foreclosure shall have the right to cancel or terminate this Lease, as long as Tenant is not in default under any of the terms hereof. Landlord shall notify Tenant of any such subordination of this Lease and shall at all times keep Tenant advised of
the name and address of any mortgagee. 

  
 10 

 21. Condemnation. 

(a) If during the Term all of the Leased Premises shall be taken by condemnation or eminent domain by any authority having the
right of condemnation or eminent domain, or by purchase by such authority in lieu of condemnation, this Lease shall terminate as of the date title shall vest in, or possession shall be taken by or on behalf of, the condemnor, whichever occurs first.
Any unearned rent paid in advance by Tenant shall be refunded to it, provided Tenant is not then in default under this Lease. Tenant shall thereafter have no claims against Landlord for the unexpired Term. 

(b) If only a portion of the Leased Premises shall be taken as aforesaid, and if such taking shall reduce the total floor area
of the Leased Premises by more than fifteen percent (15%) or the parking areas on the Leased Premises by more than fifteen percent (15%), either party at its option may terminate this Lease by giving written notice to the other party on or
before the date title to such portion shall vest in, or possession shall be taken by or on behalf of, the condemnor, whichever occurs first. In the event of such termination of this Lease, any unearned rent paid in advance by Tenant shall be
refunded to it, provided Tenant is not then in default under this Lease and Tenant shall thereafter have no claims against Landlord for the unexpired Term. If neither party terminates this Lease in the event of such partial taking, or if such
partial taking does not exceed the limits above stated, this Lease shall continue in effect as to the portion not taken, and the proceeds of the award received by Landlord (less reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by Landlord
in connection with procuring such award, and less the part of the award attributable to the taking of land as distinguished from the building, improvements and equipment located on the Leased Premises) shall be applied by Landlord, to the extent
necessary, toward the cost of reconstructing the remaining Leased Premises, which construction Landlord hereby undertakes and agrees to accomplish, so as to make the remaining Leased Premises a unit practicable so far as reasonably possible for the
conduct of the business carried on by Tenant on the Leased Premises, and Tenant shall contribute toward the cost of such reconstruction any further amount that may be needed for such purpose. The fixed rent herein reserved shall be reduced from and
after the date when title vests in or possession is taken by the condemnor by an amount proportional to the reduction in the value of the Leased Premises immediately before the taking and immediately after the reconstruction. 

(c) Any and all awards or payments for the taking of the Leased Premises or any part thereof in condemnation proceedings or as
a result of the power of eminent domain, or by purchase in lieu thereof, shall belong and be paid exclusively to Landlord. However, nothing contained herein shall be construed to preclude Tenant from prosecuting any claim against the condemning
authority for damage to, loss or value of, or cost of removal of fixtures, appliances, equipment and other personal property belonging to Tenant. 

  
 11 

 22. Miscellaneous. 

(a) Each party agrees to pay and discharge all reasonable costs, attorney fees and expenses incurred or paid by the other party
in enforcing the covenants and agreements of this Lease. 
 (b) No failure or delay on the part of either party to enforce
any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements hereof shall operate as a waiver thereof nor avoid or affect the right of the party to enforce the same upon a subsequent default or breach. 

(c) If Tenant continues to hold over and occupy the Leased Premises after the expiration of the Term without the prior written
consent of Landlord, such holding over shall not operate to renew or extend this Lease but shall create and constitute a tenancy from month to month, on the same terms and conditions as herein provided. 

(d) Neither Landlord nor Tenant shall record this Lease without the written consent of the other party. However, upon request
by either party the parties shall join in the execution of a memorandum of this Lease which may be recorded by either party. 

(e) Except as otherwise provided in this Lease, the rights and remedies herein granted are cumulative and are in addition to
any given by any statute or rule of law, or otherwise, and the use of one remedy shall not be taken to exclude or waive the right to the use of another. 

(f) This Lease sets forth all the covenants, promises, agreements, conditions and understandings between Landlord and Tenant
concerning the lease of the Leased Premises. No subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to or of this Lease shall be binding upon Landlord or Tenant unless the same is reduced to writing and signed by the parties.

for loss occurring to the property described in this Lease. Each party, notwithstanding any provision of this Lease to the contrary, hereby waives any rights of recovery against the other for injury or loss due to hazards covered by valid and
collectible insurance policies, to the extent of any recovery collectible under such insurance.

 13.
CONDEMNATION. 
 (a) Taking of Part or Whole. If the Leased Premises are rendered
untenantable by reason of a condemnation (or by a deed given in lieu thereof), then either party may terminate this Lease by giving written notice of termination to the other party within thirty (30) days after the condemnation, in which event
this Lease shall terminate effective as of the date which is the day immediately preceding the date of the condemnation. If this Lease so terminates, Rent shall be paid on a pro-rata basis through the termination date. If the condemnation does not
render the Leased Premises untenantable, this Lease shall terminate with respect to that portion of the Leased Premises that is taken, and Rent shall abate in proportion to the part of the Leased Premises condemned; further, for that portion of the
Leased Premises which is not condemned, the Lease shall continue in full force and effect and Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, shall promptly restore the portion thereof not condemned, to the extent reasonably possible, to substantially the same
condition as existing prior to the condemnation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be required to expend an amount in excess of the proceeds actually received by Landlord from the condemning authority and released by Landlord to Tenant

 14. DEFAULT. 

(a) Definition. Should Tenant (i) fail to pay any Rent due under this Lease or any part thereof within
(5) days after receipt of written notice of that failure from Landlord, (ii) fail to perform or observe any other agreements, obligations, covenants or conditions on Tenant’s part to be performed or observed under this Lease and
Tenant does not cure that failure within thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord, (iii) make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or file for an arrangement or reorganization or
suffer an involuntary petition to be filed against Tenant or suffer a receiver or trustee to be appointed for Tenant, or permit Tenant’s fixtures or merchandise in the Leased Premises to be attached or taken under execution or other legal
process, then in all or any of such events a breach of this Lease (a “Default”) shall have occurred. 
 (b)
Remedies. In the event of a Default, Landlord, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity, shall have the immediate right, or the option at any time while such default exists and upon notice: (i) to terminate this
Lease and all rights of Tenant under this Lease or; (ii) without terminating this Lease, to terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased Premises. An election by Landlord to terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Leased
Premises without terminating the Lease shall not preclude a subsequent election by Landlord to terminate the Lease. Upon termination of this Lease, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, or upon any termination of Tenant’s right of possession
without termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender possession and vacate the Leased Premises immediately, and deliver possession thereof to Landlord. 

(c) Termination of Possession. After Landlord takes possession of the Leased Premises under Section 14(b) without
terminating the Lease, Landlord may, but need not, relet the Leased Premises or any part thereof for the account of Tenant to any person, firm or corporation for such rent, for such time and upon such terms as Landlord, in Landlord’s sole
discretion shall determine. In any such case, Landlord may make repairs, alterations and additions in or to the Leased Premises and redecorate the same to the extent deemed by Landlord necessary. Tenant shall, upon demand, pay the cost thereof,
together with Landlord’s expenses of the reletting. If the consideration, if any, collected by Landlord upon reletting of the Leased Premises for Tenant’s account is not sufficient to pay monthly the full amount of the Rent then due,
together with the costs of repairs, alterations, additions, redecorating and Landlord’s other costs and expenses of regaining possession and reletting the Leased Premises, Tenant shall pay to Landlord the amount of each monthly deficiency upon
demand. 
 (d) Termination of the Lease. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease due to Tenant’s Default, then
Landlord may recover from Tenant: (i) any unpaid Rent that was due under this Lease on or before the date of termination (the “Termination Date”); plus (ii) the worth at the time of termination of the unpaid Rent
for the balance of the Term after the Termination Date; plus (iii) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord 

  
 8 

 
for all the detriment proximately and directly caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or that ordinarily would be likely to result therefrom, including,
without limitation, all Landlord’s expenses in connection with reletting the Leased Premises, repossession costs, brokerage commissions, attorneys’ and legal assistants’ fees and expenses of preparing the Leased Premises for a new
tenant. No action of Landlord in accordance with the foregoing, or any failure to relet or to collect rent under reletting, shall release or reduce Tenant’s liability. The “worth at the time of termination” under Section 14(d)(i)
is computed by calculating the present value of the future unpaid Rent using a discount rate equal to twelve percent (12%) per annum. Nothing in this Lease shall limit Landlord’s right to obtain, in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings
by reason of termination of this Lease, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by law, even if greater than the amount set forth above. 

(e) Self-Help. In addition to any of the foregoing remedies and so long as this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall,
upon delivery of written notice to Tenant, have the right to remedy any default of Tenant and to add to the Rent payable under this Lease all of Landlord’s costs in so doing, plus interest thereon as provided in Section 25(b). 

15. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Tenant agrees, within fifteen (15) days after written request therefor by Landlord, to
execute in recordable form and deliver to Landlord a statement, in writing, certifying (a) the Effective Date, (b) the amount of Fixed Rent, if any, paid in advance, and, if then true, (c) that this Lease is unmodified and in full
force and effect, (d) that Rent is paid currently without any offsets, (e) that Tenant has no defenses, offsets or counterclaims against its obligations to pay Rent and perform its other covenants under this Lease, and (f) that there
are no uncured defaults by Landlord, or stating those claimed by Tenant. 
 16. QUIET ENJOYMENT. Landlord agrees
that so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease, Tenant shall have the peaceable and quiet enjoyment and possession of the Leased Premises without hindrance by Landlord, except for matters in this Lease specifically provided. 

17. SURRENDER. When the tenancy created by this Lease terminates, Tenant agrees to surrender the Leased Premises
to Landlord in the same or better condition than existed when Tenant entered possession, being free from trash or debris, and being broom clean, ordinary wear and tear excepted. As set forth in Section 8(e) above, Tenant agrees to remove any
Alterations made by Tenant, if so requested by Landlord, and Tenant shall promptly restore the Leased Premises following that removal. Tenant may remove its trade fixtures and shall repair promptly any damage caused by such removal. Tenant also
agrees to deliver all keys for the Leased Premises to Landlord. 
 18. SUBLETTING OR ASSIGNMENT BY TENANT.
Tenant may not encumber, mortgage, assign, or otherwise transfer this Lease, any right or interest in this Lease or any right or interest in the Leased Premises, nor may Tenant sublet the Leased Premises or any part thereof (each of the foregoing, a
“Transfer”) without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. A consent by Landlord to one Transfer shall not be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent
Transfer. No Transfer shall relieve the Tenant from its obligations under this Lease. Any Transfer without the prior written consent of Landlord, whether it be voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, is void. 

  
 9 

 19. ACCESS TO LEASED PREMISES. Landlord or its agents will have free
access to the Leased Premises at all reasonable times upon prior notice for the purpose of inspecting the Leased Premises, making repairs and/or exhibiting the Leased Premises to prospective tenants, purchasers and mortgagees, provided
however, that, except in the event of an emergency (in which case, no prior notice shall be required), Landlord shall provide Tenant with at least twenty-four (24) hours notice before entering that the Leased Premises. 

20. HOLDING OVER. Any holding over by the Tenant or any assignee or subtenant beyond the expiration of the Term of
this Lease shall give rise to a tenancy at sufferance only, at a monthly rent equal to twice the monthly Fixed Rent payable by Tenant for the last month proceeding the termination or expiration of the Term and otherwise subject to all other
applicable terms, covenants and conditions in this Lease. In the event of any holding over, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord against all loss or liability resulting from such holdover, including, without limitation, all claims for damages by any
other tenant to whom Landlord may have leased all or any part of the Leased Premises. 
 21. DAMAGE TO TENANT’S
PROPERTY. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord or its agents are not liable for loss or destruction of, damage to or theft of, any property, owned by Tenant or its employees or invitees and
located on the Leased Premises, or for loss suffered by Tenant’s business resulting from any other cause other than the negligent or intentionally wrongful acts or omissions of Landlord, or for any loss or damage that may be occasioned by or
through the acts or omissions of persons occupying other portions of the Building. Tenant shall give prompt notice to Landlord in the case of fire, casualty or accidents on the Leased Premises. 

22. ENVIRONMENTAL. Tenant shall properly treat, handle, store, and dispose of any hazardous wastes, toxic
substances or toxic or hazardous materials (collectively “Hazardous Materials”) to be used, generated, stored or disposed of on, under or about, or transported to or from, the Leased Premises (collectively “Hazardous
Materials Activities”). Except to the extent caused by Landlord’s negligence or intentional misconduct, Tenant shall indemnify, defend with counsel acceptable to Landlord and hold Landlord harmless from and against any claims, damages,
costs and liabilities arising out of (a) Tenant’s Hazardous Materials Activities, or (b) any other Hazardous Materials Activities occurring on the Leased Premises (i) during the Term, or (ii) during Tenant’s use or
occupancy thereof or resulting from the acts or omissions of Tenant. For the purposes hereof, Hazardous Materials shall include, but not be limited to, substances defined as “hazardous substances,” “toxic substances,” or
“hazardous wastes” in the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended; Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended; Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, as amended; all other
laws and ordinances governing similar matters; and any regulations adopted and publications promulgated pursuant to said laws. 
 23.
SIGNAGE. Tenant shall have the right to install and maintain a sign or signs at the Leased Premises advertising Tenant’s business at the Leased Premises, provided that said signage complies
with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations. Upon Landlord’s request, at the end of the Term, Tenant shall, at Tenant’s expense, remove any signage installed at the Leased Premises and restore the Leased Premises to the
condition existing prior to installation of said signage. 

  
 10 

 24. SUBORDINATION. This Lease is and shall be subject and subordinate
at all times to the lien of any mortgages now or hereafter placed on or against the Leased Premises, or on or against Landlord’s interest or estate in the Leased Premises, or any part of or interest in the foregoing (and in all cases including
all extensions, renewals, amendments and supplements to any mortgage), without the necessity of the execution and delivery of any further instruments on the part of Tenant to effectuate such subordination. Tenant covenants and agrees to execute and
deliver upon demand such further instruments evidencing such subordination of this Lease to the lien of any such mortgages as may be required by Landlord. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section, in the event the holder of any mortgage
shall at any time elect to have this Lease constitute a prior and superior lien to its mortgage, then upon that holder notifying Tenant, this Lease shall be deemed prior and superior in lien to that mortgage, whether this Lease is dated prior to or
subsequent to the date of that mortgage. 
 25. MISCELLANEOUS. 

(a) Non-Waiver. Any payment of Rent and receipt by Landlord shall only be construed as being on account of the earliest
stipulated unpaid Rent irrespective of endorsements or statements on such Rent payment or accompanying the same, and, in no case shall the payment of Rent or any other sum by Tenant, or the acceptance of such Rent or other sum by Landlord, extend
the Term of this Lease. No action or failure to act by any party to this Lease shall constitute a waiver of any right or duty afforded to such party under this Lease, nor shall any such action or failure to act constitute an approval of, or
acquiescence in, any breach of this Lease except as may be specifically agreed in writing. Acceptance of Rent by Landlord at any time when the Tenant is in default under any covenant or condition hereof shall not be construed as a waiver of such
default. 
 (b) Unpaid Amounts. Any amount owed by Tenant under this Lease and not paid within ten (10) days of

Premises, this Lease, or the rights and duties of either in relation thereto, the prevailing party in such litigation shall be entitled, in addition to such other relief as may be granted in the litigation, to a reasonable sum for its

reduced to writing and signed by both parties. 
 (l) Limitation on Liability. The obligations of Landlord under this
Lease do not constitute personal obligations of the individual members of Landlord, and Tenant shall not seek recourse against any individual member of Landlord or any of their personal assets for satisfaction of any liability in respect to this
Lease. If Landlord should fail to perform any covenant, term or condition of this Lease, and if, as a consequence of that default, Tenant recovers a money judgment against Landlord, that judgment shall be satisfied only out of the proceeds of sale
received upon execution of that judgment and levied thereon against the right, title and interest of Landlord in the Leased Premises and out of rents or other income from the Leased Premises receivable by Landlord, subject, nevertheless, to the
rights of Landlord’s mortgagee, if any. The foregoing limitation of liability shall be noted in any judgment secured against Landlord and in the judgment index.

enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Wisconsin.
