Property; provided however, that no such award shall reduce Landlord’s award with respect to such taking.

arbitration award, judgment or decree, or violate or conflict with any other restriction of any kind or character which would hinder, delay or affect Tenant’s right to possession or to quiet enjoyment of the Premises. Landlord covenants and

 16.2. Re-entry. In
the event of any default hereunder, Tenant shall be deemed to constitute a tenant at will and, upon the failure of Tenant to surrender possession of the Premises to Landlord on demand, Landlord shall, without prejudice to any other remedies that
Landlord may have by reason of Tenant’s default or of such termination, be entitled to institute 

 
and maintain an action for unlawful detainer or other similar proceeding for restitution of the Premises in a court of appropriate jurisdiction in Ohio.

 16.3. Termination Damages. In the event of any such termination, Landlord, thereupon or at any time thereafter, at its election and
with or without notice, may terminate this Lease or Tenant’s rights to possession of the Premises without terminating this Lease, or, without prejudice to its rights to terminate this Lease or Tenant’s rights to possession of the Premises,
take any other action available to Landlord, all without such termination of this Lease or Tenant’s rights to possession of the Premises in any manner affecting Landlord’s rights for recovery of past due or future rents or other
obligations of Tenant hereunder. Upon the termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right to possession hereunder, Landlord may re-enter the Premises with or without process of law using such force as may be necessary and remove all persons,
fixtures, equipment, stock, merchandise and other chattels therefrom and Landlord shall not be liable for damages or otherwise by reason of such re-entry or termination of this Lease or of Tenant’s possession of the Premises. Upon termination
of either the Lease or Tenant’s right to possession, Landlord shall be entitled to recover either (i) from time to time, as liquidated damages, an amount equal to the Rent for the said balance of the term less the amount of any rental

sole discretion shall determine. Tenant shall pay upon demand, all of the Landlord’s costs, charges and expenses, including fees of counsel, agents and others retained by Landlord, incurred in enforcing Tenant’s obligations hereunder or
incurred by Landlord in any litigation, negotiation or transaction to interpret or construe this Lease or to determine or establish the rights or obligations of Landlord or Tenant hereunder or in which Tenant causes the Landlord, without the
Landlord’s fault, to become involved and concerned. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall, under no circumstances, have the right to accelerate rent in the event Landlord terminates this Lease or otherwise denies Tenant possession of
the Premises. 
 16.4. Abandonment Remedies. In the event Tenant is in default under this Lease and abandons the Premises, Landlord
shall also have all of the remedies in such circumstances of a landlord provided by Ohio law in addition to rights hereunder. 
 17.
ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING 
 Tenant may not assign or transfer this Lease or sublet any part of the Premises without the consent
of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. It shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to withhold consent if the proposed assignee or sublessee (i) has a net worth materially less than Tenant as of the
date hereof, or (ii) has a poor or undesirable reputation in its particular industry. It shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to delay its consent to such assignment or sublet until such time as Landlord receives satisfactory 

 
evidence that the proposed assignee or sublessee meet the aforementioned criteria. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may assign its interest in the Lease
or sublet any part of the Premises to any Affiliate (hereafter defined) without the prior written consent of Landlord. An “Affiliate” shall mean any entity wholly owned by Tenant or any entity which owns a controlling interest in Tenant.

Landlord’s responsibility to make. Tenant shall deliver all keys to the Premises to Landlord. In addition, Tenant shall have the right to remove from the Premises all of its signs, sign supports and pylons, trade fixtures (including those
constructed by Tenant), equipment and other personal property.

possession shall create a tenancy from month to month upon the same terms and conditions contained herein so far as applicable, at a monthly rental equal to the rent for the last lease year prior to the end of the term, prorated and payable in
arrears at the end of each month for the period of such occupancy. Nothing in this Section 19 shall prohibit Landlord from pursuing and exercising any and all rights or remedies it may have in connection with such holding over. 
 20. ATTORNEYS’ FEES 
 In
the event either party hereto brings or commences any legal proceeding to enforce any of the terms of this Lease, the substantially prevailing party as determined by the court in such proceeding shall then be entitled to receive from the other
party, a reasonable sum of attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection therewith.

Postal Service on the return receipt, whichever date is earlier, except that notice changing name or address to which future notice should be sent will be made when delivered. Refusal to accept delivery at the notice address shall not prevent notice
from being 

 
made. The provisions of this Article 21.1 as to when notice is given shall not affect the requirements contained in this Lease that certain notices be
received.

all. If the Landlord be more than one person, Tenant may act on notice from any Landlord, and in the case of conflicting notices may recognize any one of them as valid and disregard the others, but Tenant may treat any notice in any case as of no
effect unless signed by all Landlords. If Landlord be a partnership or corporation, Tenant may act on any notice given by any officer or agent of such corporation or of any general partner or agent of such partnership, but may treat any notice in

 23.2. If any action by either party shall require the consent or approval of the other party, the grant of such
consent or approval on any one occasion shall not be deemed a consent to or approval of that action on any subsequent occasion or of any other action on the same or any subsequent occasion. 
 24. INTERPRETATION; GOVERNING LAW 
 24.1. Any reference made in this Lease to an Article or paragraph shall be construed as a reference to the entire Article (including all of its Articles and other subdivisions), or to the entire paragraph (including all or its other
subdivisions), as the case may be, and shall also be construed as a reference to any appendix provision which complements, supplements or modifies the provision referred to. 
 24.2. Wherever the context so requires, the singular number shall include the plural, the plural shall refer to the singular, the neuter gender shall
include the masculine and feminine genders, and the words “Landlord”, “Tenant”, and “person” shall include corporations, partnerships, associations and individuals. If the named Landlord or any successor to the named
Landlord is a group or combination (such as a group of tenants-in-common), rather than a single person or a single corporation, the covenants and liabilities of Landlord shall be joint and severable obligations of all the persons and legal entities
comprising such group or combination and may be enforced in a proceeding brought against one or more of the members of the group or combination with the same effect as if each member had been made a party thereto and duly served with process. If any
provisions of this Lease shall be held to be invalid by a court, the remaining provisions of this Lease (and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances) shall remain in effect shall in no way be impaired thereby. 

24.3. This Lease is intended to be performed in the State of Ohio and the laws of that state shall govern its interpretation and effect. 

25. ENTIRE INSTRUMENT

Article and all of the agreements of the parties, in final form, which has been executed by Tenant and by Landlord; in particular, the parties agree that the UEI Lease is terminated in its entirety as of December 31, 2006. The parties
acknowledge that none of the prior oral and written agreements between them (and none of the representations on which either of them has relied) relating to the subject matter of this Lease shall have any force or effect whatever, except as and to
the extent that such 

 
agreements and representations have been incorporated in this Lease. This Lease shall not be modified, altered or changed in any respect, except by writing
executed by Landlord and Tenant. 
 26. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS 
 This Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of each party. 
 27. SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT 
 27.1. This Lease is and shall be prior to any deed of trust recorded after the date of this Lease affecting all or any part of the Premises. If, however, a lender requires that this Lease be subordinated to any deed
of trust, this Lease shall be subordinate thereto if Landlord shall obtain from the lender a written non-disturbance agreement in form reasonably satisfactory to Tenant and such Lender. 
 27.2. The term “deed of trust” as used herein includes mortgages, deeds of trust, other monetary liens or encumbrances, all modifications,
extensions, renewals and replacements thereof, given as collateral security for any obligation affecting the Premises. 
 28.

 Either party shall, without charge, at any time and from time to time hereafter, within ten (10) days after
written request of the other, certify by written instrument duly executed and acknowledged to any (i) beneficiary under a deed of trust encumbering the Premises, (ii) purchaser of the Premises, (iii) assignee of Tenant’s

so, the parties shall execute a memorandum of lease in recordable form and shall cause the same to be recorded. 
 30.
EXCULPATION. 
 It is specifically understood and agreed by Landlord and Tenant that there shall be absolutely no personal

settlement of claims) or loss, including attorneys’ fees, consultants’ fees, and experts’ fees, which arise during or after the term or any renewal term as a result of the activities of Landlord during such time period except to the
extent such toxic or hazardous substances are present or exacerbated or aggravated by acts or omissions of Tenant, its officers, employees or agents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this indemnification does specifically cover
costs incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any cleanup, remedial, removal or restoration work required by any federal, state or local governmental agency or political subdivision under Environmental Laws, except to the
extent the toxic or hazardous substances are present or exacerbated or aggravated by acts or omissions of Tenant, its officers, agents or employees.

such party shall be excused for the period of time equivalent to the delay caused by such Permitted Delay. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any extension of time for a Permitted Delay shall be conditioned upon the party seeking an extension of time
delivering written notice of such Permitted Delay to the other party within ten (10) days of the event causing the Permitted Delay, and the maximum period of time which either party may delay any act or performance of work due to a Permitted
Delay shall be sixty (60) days. 

  

	 	(d)	Landlord hereby agrees that upon the written request of Tenant’s lender, Landlord will subordinate any contractual, statutory or other Landlord’s lien on Tenant’s
Property or the Harvestable Property to the lien of such lender by an instrument reasonably satisfactory to both Tenant’s lender and Landlord. 

  

	 	(e)	Landlord represents and warrants that the Premises can be used by Tenant for office, agricultural and landscaping purposes; provided, however, that in the event that the Premises
cannot be used for such purposes, Tenant’s sole remedy shall be the termination of this Lease by serving Landlord with thirty (30) days prior written notice. Landlord agrees to reasonably cooperate and provide assistance to Tenant in
connection with Tenant’s obtaining certificates of occupancy, building permits, sign permits and any variances; provided, however, that Landlord shall not be required to incur any cost or expense in connection therewith.

	 	(i)	occurs as a result of the passing of any legislation not in force at the Agreement Date, or which takes effect with retroactive effect, or occurs as a result of any increase in the
tax rate in force on the Agreement Date or any change in the generally established practise of the relevant tax authorities; 

  

	 	(ii)	is recoverable under an insurance policy without materially affecting the terms on which such insurance policy is provided thereafter; or 

  

	 	(iii)	 would not have arisen but for an act, omission (including the mitigation of costs and losses) or transaction carried out by the Purchaser, or persons acting on
behalf of the Purchaser, or the Company after the Agreement Date other than acts, omissions or

Seller an amount (up to the amount actually paid by the Seller) corresponding to the amount actually recovered, less any reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such recovery. 

  

	9.7.7	In the event the Purchaser would make a claim against the Seller, the Purchaser shall allow and grant permission to the Seller to gain reasonable access, during normal business

	9.8	Third Party Claims  

  

	9.8.1	In the event that the Purchaser becomes aware of any fact or set of circumstances which are likely to give rise to a third party claim against the Company, which could result in a
claim, the Purchaser shall, in order to preserve its right to bring a claim against the Seller, either itself, or shall procure that the Company shall: 

  

	 	(i)	as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than 60 days after the Purchaser became aware of the third party claim, give written notice of it to the Seller;

  

	 	(ii)	not make any admission of liability, agree to settle or compromise with any person, body or authority in relation to it, without first obtaining the prior written consent of the
