	 	4.	The term “Lease Year” shall mean a period of twelve (12) successive calendar months commencing with the Base Month. 

  

	 	(ii)	No adjustments or recomputations, retroactive or otherwise, shall be made due to any revision which may later be made in the first published figure of the Index for any month.

  

	 	(iii)	Any delay or failure of Landlord, beyond July or January of any year, in computing or billing for the rent adjustments hereinabove provided, shall not constitute a waiver of or in
any way impair the continuing obligation of Tenant to pay such rent adjustments hereunder. 

  

	 	(b)	TENANTS SHARE OF TAXES: 

  
 As additional rent Tenant shall pay an amount equal to Tenant’s “proportionate share” of ad valorem taxes (or any tax hereafter imposed in
lieu thereof) applicable to the Building Tenant’s share of the taxes shall be paid as provided in subparagraph 4(e) below; provided, however, that any increase in ad valorem taxes on the Building as a result of alterations, additions or
improvements, made by, for, or on account of Tenant shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord within thirty (30) days after receipt of written demand therefore. Tenant shall also pay tenant’s proportionate share of all attorney fees
incurred by Landlord as a result of any challenge by Landlord to an increase in Real Estate Taxes which Landlord feels is discriminatory or unreasonable or as a result of any challenge by Landlord to the enforcement of any law, ordinance or
regulation which affects the operation of the Building. 
  

	 	(c)	TENANTS SHARE OF INSURANCE PREMIUMS:

	 	(d)	TENANT’S SHARE OF COMMON AREA MAINTENANCE AND MANAGEMENT COSTS: 

  

Tenant shall pay as additional rent an amount equal to Tenant’s “proportionate share” of the reasonable maintenance costs and management
fees for maintaining the building’s common areas, shrub care, lawn care and general landscaping, maintenance and repair to parking and trucking areas, driveways, sidewalks, snow and ice removal in parking lot as deemed necessary by Landlord,
exterior lighting, other facilities shared by the various tenants in the Building, and the Landlord shall use good faith efforts to keep the operating and maintenance costs and management fees in line with costs for other similar buildings.
Tenant’s proportionate share of common area maintenance costs and management fees shall be paid as provided in subparagraph 4(e) below, except that management fees are calculated as a percentage of Annual Net Rents collected (not to exceed 4%)
and not prorated on a square foot basis. 
  

	 	(e)	PAYMENT OF PROPORTIONATE SHARE: 

  
 Landlord may, at its option, require payment of Tenant’s proportionate share of taxes, insurance premiums and common area maintenance and management
costs in either one of two ways: 
  

	 	(i)	By billing the Tenant for its proportionate share of each such cost on a monthly basis as such costs are incurred, assessed or due and payable by the Landlord; or,

  

	 	(ii)	By billing the Tenant for its proportionate share of such costs in equal monthly installments, computed on an annualized basis as follows:

installments each month. Upon written request of Tenant, Landlord shall provide Tenant with a written statement setting forth said amounts for the preceding calendar year. In the event the actual costs for the year are greater or lesser than the
annualized amount based on the preceding year, then the Tenant shall reimburse the Landlord for any shortages under the actual amounts or the Landlord shall reimburse the Tenant for any overages paid over the actual expenses, and the annualized
amount for the next calendar year shall be adjusted upward or downward accordingly. For the calendar year for which this Lease commences and the calendar year in which this Lease expires, the proportionate share of taxes, insurance and common area
maintenance costs shall be prorated based upon the number of days of Lease term is in effect in relation to three hundred, sixty-five (365) days. Upon the lease expiration date, Landlord may elect to either (1) require Tenant to pay any
unpaid estimated proportionate shares within thirty (30) days after the expiration date, which estimate shall be made by Landlord based upon actual and estimated costs for such year, or (ii) elect to withhold any security deposit of Tenant
until the exact amount payable for such proportionate shares shall have been determined, after which Landlord shall return any excess security deposit to Tenant. 
  

	 	(f)	DEFINITION OF PROPORTIONATE SHARE: 

  
 The definition of the Tenant’s “proportionate share” shall be determined by multiplying each such amount by a fraction the numerator of
which is the total square footage in the Premises, as set forth in 1(a), and the denominator of which is the total square footage in the Building, (approximately 102,727 square feet).

its employees, agents, invitees or licensees, and the expense of such repairs or replacements are not fully covered and paid by Landlord’s insurance, the Tenant shall pay Landlord the full amount of expenses not covered. Landlord shall not be
responsible for any vandalism to tenant’s premises including but not limited to glass or plate glass, doors or door frames. Landlord’s duty to repair or replace as prescribed in this paragraph shall be Tenant’s sole remedy and shall

	10.	TENANTS COVENANT TO REPAIR: 

  
 Tenant shall be responsible for the repair, replacement and maintenance in good order and condition of all parts and components of the Premises, other

asphalt directly in front of loading areas, sprinkler systems if any, equipment and machinery constituting fixtures, unless such repairs or replacements are required as a result of the negligence, misconduct or intentional acts or omissions of
Landlord, its employees, invitees or licensees in which event Landlord shall be responsible for such repairs. At the end of the term of Lease, Tenant shall return the Premises to Landlord in as good a condition as they were when received, excepting
only normal wear and tear, acts of God and repairs required to be made by Landlord hereunder. Normal wear and tear shall not include tow motor tire skid marks in warehouse area or damage to drywalls from forklifts. If necessary, Landlord will have
Tenant’s space cleaned at Tenant’s expense. Tenant’s duty to maintain the heating and air conditioning systems shall specifically include the duty to inspect the systems seasonally by a licensed HVAC company, replace filters monthly
and to perform other recommended periodic servicing. A final inspection, upon termination of this Lease, shall be made by Landlord, to ascertain compliance and, if necessary, to determine damages by Tenant’s failure to comply with required
maintenance and inspection at Tenant’s expense. 
  

	11.	INSPECTION: 

  
 Landlord shall have the right to enter and inspect the Premises at any time, on reasonable notice to Tenant, during normal business hours, for the purpose
of ascertaining the condition of the Premises or in order to make such repairs as may be required to be made by Landlord under the terms of this Lease. During the period that is six (6) months prior to the end of the term hereof, Landlord and
Landlord’s agents and representatives shall have the right to enter the Premises at any time, during reasonable business hours, on reasonable notice to Tenant for the purpose of showing the Premises and shall have the right to erect on the
Premises a suitable sign indicating the Premises are available. 
  

	12.	SIGNS: 

  
 Tenant shall have the right to install signs only when first approved in writing by Landlord, and subject to any applicable governmental laws, ordinances,
regulations and other requirements. Tenant shall remove all such signs at the termination of this Lease. Such installments and removals shall be made in such manner as to avoid injury or defacement of the Building and other improvements. 

 

 6 

	13.	UTILITIES: 

  
 Landlord agrees to provide water, gas and electrical connections into the Premises in such capacity as shall be sufficient to meet the Tenant’s
requirements as specified on Exhibit(s) A. Tenant shall pay as additional rent for all utilities or services related to its use of the Premises including electricity, gas, heat, water, sewer, telephone, trash removal and janitorial services.
Electricity and gas shall be separately metered by the local utilities. The water, sewer, and trash removal charges shall be prorated to the tenants based upon their share of the respective bill as it relates to the occupied area. If,
(1) Landlord deems Tenant to be an excessive water user, Landlord may install a separate sub-meter, at Tenant’s expense, to more equitably allocate the water charges to the Tenants; and/or (2) if Tenant uses a disproportionate share
of the trash removal service, Landlord may make special assessments to Tenant to more equitably allocate these charges. Landlord shall not be responsible for the stoppage or interruption of utilities services other than as required by its limited
covenant to repair and replace as set forth above. Landlord shall not be liable for any interruption or failure of utility services on the Premises. 
  

	14.	ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING: 

  
 Tenant shall not have the right, directly or indirectly, to assign or encumber this Lease, or to sublet, in whole or part without the prior written
consent of Landlord, notwithstanding the aforesaid, Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the whole or any part of the Premises to any of its affiliates or subsidiaries (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) during the term
hereof, or any extension thereof without the consent of the Landlord, provided Tenant notifies Landlord of such assignment or subletting. Notwithstanding any permitted assignment or subletting, Tenant shall at all times remain fully responsible and
liable for the payment of the rent herein specified and for compliance with all of its other obligations under the terms, provisions and covenants of this Lease. Upon the occurrence of an “event of default” as hereinafter defined, if the
Premises or any part thereof are then assigned or sublet, Landlord, in addition to any other remedies herein provided, or provided by law, may, at its option, collect directly from such assignee or subtenant all rents becoming due to Tenant under
such assignment or sublease and apply such rent against any sums due to it by Tenant hereunder, and no such collection shall be construed to constitute a novation or a release of Tenant from the further performance of its obligations hereunder. If
Tenant subleases to other than a subsidiary or affiliate as described above, any rental, charges or fees received by Tenant in excess of the Annual Net Rental payable to Landlord hereunder shall be also paid to Landlord as additional rental under
this Lease. Consent to one assignment or subletting will not be deemed a consent to any other. 
  

	15.	FIRE AND CASUALTY DAMAGE: 

  

	 	(a)	If the Premises should be damaged or destroyed by fire, tornado, or other casualty, Tenant shall give immediate written notice thereof to Landlord. Casualty, as stated in this
Paragraph, shall include but be not limited to sprinkler leakage caused by fire, and special extended perils (all risks). 

  

	 	(b)	If the Premises should be destroyed by fire, tornado or other casualty, or if it should be so damaged that rebuilding or repairs cannot be completed within ninety (90) days
after the date upon which Landlord is notified by Tenant of such damage, this Lease shall terminate and the rent shall be abated during the unexpired portion of this Lease, effective upon the date of the occurrence of such damage.

  

	 	(c)	 If the Premises should be damaged by fire, tornado or other casualty, but only to such extent that rebuilding or repairs can be completed within ninety
(90) days after the date upon which Landlord is notified by Tenant of such damage, this Lease shall not terminate, but Landlord shall, at its sole cost and expense, proceed with reasonable diligence to rebuild and repair the Premises to
substantially the condition which existed prior to such damage, except that Landlord shall not be required to rebuild, repair or replace any part of the partitions, fixtures and other improvements which may have been placed in the Premises by the
Tenant. If the Premises are untenantable in whole or in part following such damage, the rent payable hereunder during the period in which it is untenantable shall be reduced to such extent as may be fair and reasonable under all the circumstances.
If the Premises are substantially damaged or rendered untreatable by fire, tornado or other casualty, and an architect mutually selected by Tenant and Landlord certifies, within fifteen (15) days of such casualty, that the damage caused by such
casualty cannot be repaired within ninety (90) days of the date of notice of 

  

 7 

	 	 
such casualty to the Landlord, then either party, may, within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the architect’s certificate, terminate this Lease by
notifying the other party in writing, whereupon Tenant’s liability for rent shall cease as of the day following such casualty. The fees, charges and expenses of the architect relating to the certificate shall be shared equally by Landlord and
Tenant. In the event that Landlord should fail to complete such repairs and rebuilding within ninety (90) days after the date upon which Landlord is notified by Tenant of such damage, Tenant may at its sole option, terminate this Lease by
giving Landlord ten (10) days written notice of termination. If an architect cannot be mutually agreed upon by Landlord and Tenant, then the parties shall contact the American Arbitration Association and that organization shall appoint an
architect. 

  

	 	(d)	Any insurance which may be carried by Landlord against loss or damage to the Building or by the Tenant against loss or damage to the Premises shall be for the sole benefit of the
party carrying such insurance and under its sole control. The insurance covering the Building under Paragraph 8 shall be deemed for the sole benefit of the Landlord. 

  

	16.	LIABILITY: 

  

	 	(a)	Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents, patrons or visitors, or to any other person whomsoever, for any injury to person or damage to property on
or about the Premises caused by any acts of Tenant, its agent, servants or employees, or any other person entering upon the Premises under express or implied invitation of Tenant, or caused by the Premises becoming out of repair; or caused by
leakage of gas, oil, water or steam or by electricity emanating from the Premises, or due to any cause whatsoever, and Tenant agrees to indemnify Landlord and hold it harmless from any loss, expense or claims including attorney’s fees arising
out of any such damage or injury; except for any injury to person or damage to property caused by the negligence or intentional acts of Landlord, and Landlord agrees to indemnify Tenant and hold it harmless from any and all loss, expense or claims,
including attorney’s fees, arising out of such damage or injury caused by Landlord’s negligence or intentional acts. Tenant shall procure and maintain throughout the term of this Lease a policy or policies of insurance, insuring Tenant
against all claims, demands or actions arising out of or in connection with Tenant’s use or occupancy of the Premises. The Landlord shall be listed as an additional insured on the Certificate of Insurance. The limits of such policy or policies
shall be in an amount not less than $500,000.00 in respect to injuries to or death of any one person, and in an amount not less than $1,000,000.00 in respect to any one accident or disaster, and in an amount not less than $100,000.00 in respect to
property damaged or destroyed. Tenant shall first furnish to Landlord copies of policies or certificates of insurance evidencing the required coverage prior to the occupancy date and thereafter prior to each policy renewal date. All policies
required of Tenant hereunder shall contain a provision whereby the insurer is not allowed to cancel or materially change the coverage without first giving 10 days written notice to Landlord. 

  

	 	(b)	Tenant shall, at all times during the term hereof, and at its cost and expense, maintain in effect policies of insurance covering its trade fixtures, machinery, equipment,
merchandise and other personal property from, in, on, or upon the Premises, in an amount equal to their full replacement value, providing protection against any peril included within the classification “Fire and Extended Coverage.”
Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any damage to any such property from any cause, unless (i) such damage is due to Landlord’s negligence, and (ii) such damage is caused by an occurrence which is not an insurable hazard under
the standard fire and broad form coverage insurance which is available for insuring such property of Tenant at the time of the loss; it being understood that it is not the intention of the parties that Landlord be relieved from liability to Tenant
for negligence contrary to any statute or public policy of the State of Tennessee, but rather that Tenant avail itself of available insurance coverage without subjecting Landlord to liability for losses that could have been insured, and without
subjecting Landlord to subrogation claims of any insurer.

estimate of the “cost of restoration” exceeds fifty (50%) percent of a reasonable estimate of the “cost of replacement” of all of the Premises, Landlord shall have the option to cancel this Lease. If part of the Premises is
Taken when the unexpired portion of the Term as then constituted is less than twenty-four (24) months and a reasonable estimate of the “cost of restoration” exceeds twenty-five (25%) percent of all of the Premises, Landlord shall
have the option to cancel this Lease. Landlord may exercise its option to cancel only by giving notice of exercise to Tenant on or before the ninetieth (90th) day next following the Taking Date. 

  

	 	(e)	The “cost of restoration” means the cost of restoring the Premises on the portion of the Leased Land that will not have been Taken to an architectural unit that serves the
same function as the Premises as constituted immediately prior to the Taking with materials of like kind of quality. The “cost of replacement” means the cost of replacing the Premises with materials of like kind and quality. The cost of
restoration and the cost of replacement shall be determined as of the Taking Date. The cost of restoration and replacement shall be determined by a professional cost estimator. The estimator shall be selected by Landlord but shall be subject to the
approval of Tenant. Tenant shall not unreasonably withhold approval. 

  

	 	(f)	If this Lease is not cancelled Landlord shall restore the Premises to an architectural unit as near as possible to its function and condition immediately prior to the Taking. The
restoration shall begin promptly after the Taking Date and shall be prosecuted diligently. Landlord’s liability for restoration shall be limited to the amount of the Award actually received by Landlord. 

  

	 	(g)	If part of the Premises is taken and this Lease is not cancelled, the Rent shall be reduced by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction shall be the difference between the floor
area of the Premises immediately prior to the Taking and the floor area of the Premises after giving effect to the Taking. The denominator of the fraction shall be the floor area of the Premises immediately prior to the Taking.

  

	 	(h)	If Tenant is deprived of the use of a part of the Premises during the course of restoration, Basic Rent shall abate in accordance with the following: a fraction of Basic Rent shall
abate. The numerator of the fraction shall be the floor area of the part of the Premises which shall not have been Taken but, which Tenant shall be prevented from using as a result of the restoration. The denominator of the fraction shall be the
floor area of the Premises immediately after the Taking. The Rent abatement shall begin on the first day on which Tenant is prevented from using that part of the Premises and shall end on the earlier to occur of the sixtieth (60th) day next
following substantial completion of the restoration or the date on which Tenant resumes the use of that part of the Premises for any purpose. 

  

	 	(i)	 The following shall apply it if is unreasonable to expect Tenant to conduct business from the Premises at all during the course of the restoration and if Tenant
completely discontinues the conduct of business from the Premises during the course of the restoration. All Rent shall abate. The abatement shall begin when the conduct of business is completely discontinued and shall end on the earlier to occur of
the sixtieth (60th) day next following substantial 

  

 9 

	 	 
completion of the restoration or the date on which Tenant resumes doing business from any portion of the Premises. 

  

	18.	HOLDING OVER: 

  
 Should Tenant, or any of its successors in interest, hold over at the Premises, or any part thereof, after the expiration of the term of the Lease, unless
otherwise agreed in writing, such holding over shall constitute and be construed as tenancy from month-to-month only, at a net monthly rental equal to twice the rental payable for the last month of the term of this Lease. The inclusion of preceding
sentence shall not be construed as Landlord’s permission for Tenant to hold over, nor shall it be construed as an option to extend this Lease. In the event tenant shall become a Hold Over tenant, all the provisions, terms and conditions of this
Lease Agreement shall remain in effect during the full term of the Hold Over period. 
  

	19.	QUIET ENJOYMENT: 

  
 Landlord covenants that it now has, or will acquire before Tenant takes possession of Premises, good title to the Building, of which Premises is a part,
free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, excepting only the lien for current taxes not yet due, such mortgage or mortgages as are permitted by the terms of this Lease, and easements, restrictions and covenants, other conditions of record, none
of which prohibit the use of the Premises as set forth in Paragraph 6. Landlord represents and warrants that it has full right and authority to enter into Lease and that Tenant, upon paying the rental herein set forth and performing its other
covenants and agreements herein set forth, shall peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Premises for the term hereof, without hindrance or molestation from Landlord, subject to the terms and provisions of this Lease. 
  

	20.	EVENT OF DEFAULT: 

  
 The following events shall be deemed to be events of default by Tenant under this Lease: 
  

	 	(a)	Tenant shall become insolvent, or shall make a transfer in fraud of creditors, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors. 

  

	 	(b)	Tenant shall file a petition under any section or chapter of the National Bankruptcy Act, as amended, or under any similar law or statute of the United States or any State thereof;
or Tenant shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent in proceedings filed against Tenant thereunder. 

  

	 	(c)	A receiver or trustee shall be appointed for all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant. 

  

	 	(d)	Tenant shall desert or vacate the Premises; provided, however, desertion or vacation of the Premises shall not be deemed to be an event of default if Tenant is not in arrears of its
rent and the act does not affect the insurance rates the Landlord is currently paying for the Premises. The failure to occupy and operate the Premises for five (5) consecutive days or eight (8) days in any 30-day period shall be deemed an
act of abandonment, desertion and vacation. 

  

	 	(e)	Tenant shall fail to comply with any of the terms, provisions, covenants or obligations of Tenant as set forth in this Lease, other than failure to make monetary payments including
any installments of Annual Net Rental, and shall not commence to cure such failure within twenty (20) days after written notice thereof to Tenant. It shall be deemed an event of default if Tenant shall fail to cure any failure to pay any
installment of Annual Net Rental or any other monetary payment due from Tenant within five (5) days after written notice thereof to Tenant. 

  

	 	(f)	If Tenant creates any lien which encumbers any or all of the fixtures of leasehold improvements of Tenant and Tenant has not obtained the prior written consent of Landlord to such
lien. 

  

 10 

	21.	REMEDIES: 

  
 Upon the occurrence of any such events of default described in Paragraph 20 hereof, Landlord shall have the option to puruse any one or more of the
following remedies without any notice or deemed whatsoever: 
  

	 	(a)	Terminate this Lease, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails so to do, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy
which it may have for possession or arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying such Premises or any part thereof, as provided by law, without being liable
for prosecution or any claim of damages thereof, and in the event Landlord elects to terminate this Lease due to breach by the Tenant, the parties agree that the Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord one-half of the Annual Net Rent and Rent
Adjustment as liquidated damages. This paragraph shall not be construed to limit or abrogate any other remedy available to Landlord. 

  

	 	(b)	Enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expecl or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying such Premises or any part thereof, as provided by law, without
being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefor, and relet the Premises and receive the rent therefor; and Tenant agrees to pay Landlord on deemed any deficiency and reasonable expenses that may arise by reason of such reletting.

  

	 	(c)	Enter upon the Premises, as provided by law, without being liable for prosecution or any claim for damages therefor and do whatever Tenant is obligated to do under the terms of this
Lease; and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord on demand for any expenses which Landlord may incur in effecting compliance with Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, and Tenant further agrees that Landlord shall not be liable for any damages
resulting to the Tenant from such action, whether caused by the negligence of Landlord or otherwise. 

  

	 	(d)	If any payments of rent or additional rent are in arrears for more than fifteen (15) days, beginning on the 15th day of arrearage and continuing until such arrearage in paid,
Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for payment of further rent for the period of such arrearage at a monthly rate of interest of five (5%) percent of such arrearage. 

  

	 	(e)	If any payments of rent or additional rent are in arrears for more than sixty (60) days, any and all options for renewals, extensions, and right of first refusals are
immediately cancelled without Landlord’s written notice to tenant. 

  

	 	(f)	In case suit shall be brought for recovery of possession of the demised Premises, for the recovery of rent or any other amount due under the provisions of this Lease, or because of
the breach of any other covenant herein contained on the part of the Tenant or Landlord to be kept or performed, and a breach shall be established, the party in default shall pay to the other party all other expenses incurred therefore, including a
reasonable attorney’s fee. 

  

	 	(g)	In case of default, Landlord has the right to recover from Tenant all payments for the Tenant’s proportionate share of taxes, insurance premiums, and common area maintenance
and management costs for the remaining term of this Lease which shall become immediately due and payable. Landlord and Tenant agree that these payments shall be calculated as the average of all amounts actually incurred during the preceding 12
months for each category. In the event Tenant has not occupied the Premises for the preceding 12 months then the payment shall be calculated as the average of all amounts actually incurred during the length of the Tenant’s occupancy.

  

	 	(h)	In the event of Tenant’s default, all payments under this Lease shall become immediately due and payable. 

  
 Pursuit of any of the foregoing remedies shall not preclude the pursuit of
any of the other remedies herein provided or any other remedies provided by law, nor shall pursuit of any remedy herein provided constitute a forfeiture or waiver of any rent due to Landlord hereunder or of any damages accruing to Landlord by reason
of the violation of any of the terms, provisions and covenants herein contained. Landlord’s acceptance of the payment of rental or other payments hereunder after the occurrence of an event of default shall not be construed as a waiver of such
default. Forbearance 

  

 11 

 
by Landlord or Tenant to enforce one or more of the remedies herein provided upon an event of default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver
of such default. 
  

	22.	SUBORDINATION: 

  
 This Lease is subject and subordinate to any and all mortgages or Deeds of Trust now or hereafter placed on the property of which the Premises are a part,
and this clause shall be self-operative without any further instrument necessary to effect such subordination; however, if requested by Landlord, Tenant shall, within ten (10) days after request by Landlord, execute and deliver to Landlord a
Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement attached hereto as an Exhibit “B” with such reasonable additions or changes as may be required by any Purchaser of the property within which the Premises are situated or any lender
encumbering the Premises with a deed of trust or mortgage. 
  

	23.	TRANSFER OF LANDLORD’S INTEREST: 

  
 If Landlord shall sell, assign or transfer all or any part of its interest in the Premises, or in this Lease to a successor in interest which expressly
assumes the obligations of Landlord hereunder, the Landlord shall thereupon be released or discharged from all covenants and obligations hereunder, and Tenant shall look solely to such successor in interest for performance of all of Landlord’s
obligations. Tenant’s obligations under this Lease shall in no manner be affected by Landlord’s assignment hereunder, and Tenant shall thereafter attorn and look solely to successor in interest as the Landlord hereunder. 
  

	24.	ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES: 

  
 Within ten (10) days after a request by Landlord, Tenant shall deliver the Estoppel Certificate, in the form set forth as an Exhibit “B”
with such reasonable additions or changes as may be required by any purchaser of the property within which the Premises are situated or any lender encumbering the Premises with a deed of trust or mortgage. 
  

	25.	LANDLORD’S DEFAULT: 

  
 In the event Landlord should become in default in any payments due on such mortgage described in Paragraph 22 hereof, or in the payment of taxes or any
other items which might become a lien upon the building of which the Premises is a part and which Tenant is not obligated to pay under the terms and provisions of this Lease, Tenant is authorized and empowered after giving Landlord ten
(10) days prior written notice of such default and if Landlord fails to cure such default, to pay any such item for and on behalf of Landlord, and the amount of any item so paid by Tenant for or on behalf of Landlord, together with any interest
or penalty required to be paid in connection therewith, shall be payable on demand to Tenant by Landlord; provided; however that Tenant shall not be authorized and empowered to make any payment under the terms of this Paragraph 26, unless the item
paid shall be superior to Tenant’s interest hereunder. In the event Tenant pays any mortgage debt in full, in accordance with this paragraph, it shall, at its election, be entitled to the mortgage security by assignment or subrogation.

  

	26.	FORCE MAJEURE: 

  
 In the event Landlord shall be delayed, hindered or prevented form the performance of any act required hereunder, by reason of governmental restrictions,
scarcity of labor or materials, strikes, fire, or any other reasons beyond their control, the performance of such act shall be excused for the period of delay, and the period for performance of any such act shall be extended as necessary to complete
performance after the delay period. However, the provisions of this paragraph shall in no way be applicable to Tenant’s obligations to pay Annual Net Rental or any other sums, monics, costs, charges or expenses required by this Lease.

  

	27.	REMEDIES CUMULATIVE - NONWAIVER: 

  
 Unless otherwise specified in this Lease, no remedy of Landlord shall be considered exclusive of any other remedy, but shall be distinct, separate and
cumulative with other available remedies. Each remedy available under this Lease, or at law, or in equity may be exercised by Landlord or Tenant from time to time as often as the need may arise. No course of dealing between Landlord 
  

 12 

 
and Tenant, or any delay or omission of Landlord or Tenant in exercising any right arising from the other party’s default, shall impair such right or be
construed to be a waiver of a default. 
  

	28.	MECHANICS LIENS: 

  
 Tenant shall have no authority, express or implied, to create or place any lien or encumbrance of any kind or nature whatsoever upon, or in any manner to
bind the interest of Landlord in the Building, or to charge the rentals payable hereunder for any claim in favor of any person dealing with Tenant, including those who may furnish materials or perform labor for any construction or repairs, and each
such claim shall affect and each such lien shall attach to, if at all, only the Leasehold interest granted to Tenant by this instrument. Tenant will pay or cause to be paid all costs and charges for work done by it or caused to be done by it, in or
to the Premises, and for all materials furnished for or in connection with such work. Tenant will indemnify Landlord against and hold Landlord harmless from all liabilities, liens, claims, and demands on account of such work. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Lease relating to improvements, additions, alterations, repairs, and/or reconstruction of or to the Premises, Landlord and Tenant hereby agree and confirm that (a) Landlord has not consented and will not consent to the
furnishings of any labor or materials to the Premises that would or any result in any mechanic’s or materialman’s lien attaching to Landlord’s interest in the Premises, (b) Tenant is not the agent of Landlord for the purposes of
any such improvements, additions, alterations, repair and/or reconstructions, and (c) except as expressly provided herein, Landlord has retained no control over the manner in which any such improvements, additions, alterations, repairs and/or
reconstruction are or is accomplished, and has made no agreement to make or be responsible for any payment to or for the benefit of any person furnishing labor and/or materials in connection therewith. No such person furnishing labor and/or
materials to or for the account of Tenant shall be entitled to claim any lien against the interest of Landlord in the Premises and such person(s) shall look solely to Tenant and the leasehold interest of Tenant under this Lease for satisfaction of
any such claims. 
  

	29.	GOVERNING LAW: 

  
 This Lease shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee. In the event any one or more provisions of this Lease
are found by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such finding of unenforceability shall not cause the remainder of the terms and conditions of this Lease to be unenforceable. 
  

	30.	RECORDING: 

  
 The parties undertake, at the request of either of them, to execute a memorandum of this Lease in recordable form. If either party shall record this Lease

                                 (“Lessee”). 
  
 WITNESSETH: 
  
 WHEREAS, Lender is about to disburse a mortgage loan to NWI WAREHOUSE GROUP, L.P. (“Borrower”) (“Borrower,
together with any future owner of the Mortgaged Premises subject to the Mortgage, herein referred to collectively as “Lessor”), which loan is to be secured by, inter alia, a mortgage, deed of trust or deed to secure debt from Borrower for
the benefit of Lender (“Mortgage”), upon certain premises known as on which the Leased Premises referred to below is located, (“Mortgaged Premises”) located in
                         County, Tennessee, and 
  
 WHEREAS, Borrower has leased a portion of the Mortgaged Premises (“Leased Premises”) to Lessee by Lease dated
                    , 19     as amended by
                                 dated
                    , 19     (“Lease”), and 
  
 WHEREAS, Lender, as a condition of the disbursement of the mortgage loan has required that the Lease and all of the rights
of Lessee thereunder be subordinated to the Mortgage and all of the rights of Lender thereunder, and 
  
 WHEREAS, Lessee desires to receive certain assurances that its possession of the Leased Premises will not be disturbed, and Lender is willing to grant
certain assurances upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 
  
 1. The Lease and all of the rights of Lessee thereunder shall be and are hereby declared to be and at all times hereafter
shall be and remain subject and subordinate in all respects to the Mortgage and all of the rights of Lender thereunder. Notwithstanding such subordination. Lessee hereby agrees that the Lease shall not terminate in the event of a foreclosure of the
Mortgage, and Lessee further agrees to attorn to and to recognize Lender (as mortgagee in possession or otherwise), or the purchaser at such foreclosure sale, as Lessee’s landlord for the balance of the term of the lease, in accordance with the
terms and provisions thereof, but subject nevertheless to the provisions of this Agreement, which Agreement shall be controlling in the event of any conflict. 
  

2. Lender hereby agrees with Lessee that, so long as Lessee complies with all of the terms, provisions, agreements, covenants and obligations set forth
in the Lease, Lessee’s possession of the Leased Premises under said Lease shall not be disturbed or interfered with by Lender. 
  
 3. Lessee hereby agrees that Lender, or any purchaser at a sale in foreclosure of the Mortgage, shall not be (a) liable for any act or omission of
any prior Lessor under the Lease, (b) subject to any offsets or defenses which Lessee may have against any prior Lessor, (c) bound by any rent which Lessee may have paid to any prior Lessor for more than the current month, and
(d) bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease made without Lender’s prior written consent. 
  
 4. Lessee hereby agrees that any entity or person which at any time hereafter becomes the landlord under the Lease including, but not limited to, Lender
or the purchaser at a foreclosure sale, shall be liable only for the performance of the obligations of the landlord under the Lease which arise and accrue during the period of such entity’s or person’s ownership of the Mortgaged Premises.

  
 5. Lessee hereby agrees that, thirty (30) days before
exercising any of its rights and remedies under the Lease in the event of any default by Lessor thereunder, it shall send written notice to Lender at Suite 511 Union Street, by certified mail, return receipt requested, of the occurrence of any
default by Lessor in the terms and provisions of the Lease and to state with reasonable specificity the events constituting such default. Lessee further agrees that with respect to any default of Lessor which would entitle Lease to cancel or
terminate the Lease or offset or abate the rent payable thereunder, any provision of the Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, no such cancellation or termination or offset or abatement of rent shall be effective unless Lender shall leave received
notice in the form and manner required by the provisions of this Paragraph 5, and shall have failed within thirty (30) days of the date of the receipt of such notice by Lender to cure or cause to be cured, or if the default cannot be cured
within such thirty (30) day period, shall have failed to commence and diligently prosecute the cure of, such default. For purposes of this paragraph, actions taken by Lender in order to foreclose or otherwise gain possession of the Mortgage
Premises shall be considered actions undertaken to cure any default. 
  
 6. Lease hereby represents and warrants to Lender that it has not subordinated the Lease or any of its rights under the Lease to any lien, mortgage, deed of trust or deed to secure debt prior to the date hereof and that it will not
subordinate the Lease or the rights of the Lessee thereunder to any lien, mortgage, deed of trust or deed to secure debt other than the Mortgage without the prior written consent of Lender. 
  
 7. This Agreement shall supersede, as between the parties hereto, all of the
terms and provisions of the Lease which are inconsistent herewith. 
  
 8. This Agreement may not be modified orally or in any other manner than by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto, or their respective successors in interest. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon
the parties hereto, and their successors and assigns. 
  
 9. This
Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee. 
  
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed on the day and year first above written.
