5. Conditions to Buyer’s Obligation to Close. Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Premises on the Closing Date is subject to the satisfaction of the following contingencies and conditions in the manner and within the time limits herein specified:

(a) On the Effective Date of this Agreement:

Seller shall deliver to Buyer (at no cost to Buyer) copies of the Due Diligence Materials and any and all other tests, surveys, examinations, plans, appraisals, permits, licenses, environmental studies or reports and other studies or investigations for or regarding the Premises which the Seller may have in its possession or control.

(b) Within the Inspection Period:

(i) Within ten (10) days after the Effective Date hereof, Seller shall have delivered to Buyer a Commitment from the Title Company for an owner’s title insurance policy (ALTA form) with respect to the Premises, naming Buyer as the Proposed Insured in the amount of the Purchase Price applicable to that Premises and with standard exceptions deleted (the “Title Commitment”), and within the Inspection Period, Buyer shall have reviewed and approved the Title Commitment or approved the Title Commitment subject to satisfaction of specified objectives.

(ii) Buyer shall have obtained, reviewed and approved an ALTA as built survey for such Premises, in a form acceptable to Buyer, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense; provided, however, that at Closing Buyer shall receive a credit from Seller for half (1/2) of the cost of such survey.

(iii) Buyer shall have otherwise determined, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the Premises is satisfactory in all respects, including, without limitation, the physical and environmental condition thereof pursuant to Buyer’s inspections conducted in accordance with Section 8 below.

(iv) Buyer’s (at its expense) receipt of Satisfactory Zoning (PZR) Report and Satisfactory Property Condition Report (“PCR”); provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if the PCR discloses any “immediate required repairs”, Buyer may elect to close and cause one hundred twenty five percent of the repair and replacement costs for the immediate required repairs to be held in escrow with the Title Company to be used by Buyer to repair and/or replace such items (subject to Seller agreeing thereto).

(v) This Purchase Agreement shall terminate upon expiration of the Inspection Period unless Buyer has delivered to Seller a written notice that Buyer shall proceed with the purchase of the Premises, (the “Notice to Proceed”). If the Notice to Proceed has been timely delivered, the parties shall each be required to consummate the Closing subject only to the conditions for Closing set forth in this Agreement.

(i) Tenant shall be open and operating its business at the Premises.

(ii) The representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Section 11 hereof shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects on and as of the Closing Date.

(iii) Each physical/engineering and environmental assessment approved by Buyer during the Inspection Period shall continue to accurately reflect the environmental condition of the Premises.

(iv) Seller shall not have filed or have had filed against it a petition seeking relief under the bankruptcy or other similar laws of the United States or any state thereof.

(v) Buyer shall have received the Title Commitment for the Premises “marked-up”, or an equivalent title insurance “proforma” effectively dated as of the Closing, deleting all requirements thereunder so as to obligate the Title Company unconditionally to issue to Buyer an original owner’s policy of title insurance for the Premises in the amount of the Purchase Price applicable to the Premises, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions.

(vi) Title Company shall deliver to Buyer a “closing protection” or “insured closing” letter, evidencing the authority of any agent of Title Company which conducts the Closing and issues the Buyer’s owner’s policy of title insurance for or on behalf of Title Company.

(d) Buyer, using good faith efforts, shall have obtained mortgage financing from Lender for Buyer’s purchase of the Premises, on terms which are acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion, on or prior to Closing Date. If Buyer has not obtained such mortgage financing, on terms which are acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion, on or prior to the Closing, then Buyer shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller and Escrow Agent in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 10(b) below, whereupon the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit and all interest earned thereon shall be returned to Buyer and this Agreement shall terminate and become null and void and all parties hereto shall be relieved of all obligations hereunder, except for those obligations which expressly survive. In connection with the mortgage financing, Seller agrees, on behalf of the Buyer, to make the deposit required by the Lender in connection with the mortgage loan commitment executed by the Buyer and Lender, provided such amount shall not exceed Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000). Seller shall be solely responsible for all fees charged, and out-of-pocket costs incurred, by Lender pursuant to such mortgage loan commitment (“Commitment Costs”), provided Seller’s aggregate liability hereunder shall not exceed Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000). In the event the actual Commitment Costs are less than Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000), Buyer shall reimburse Seller for the difference between the amount of the Commitment Costs and Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000), to the extent such difference is actually received by Buyer from Lender (or credited to Buyer by Lender at Closing). The terms of this Section 5(d) shall survive the Closing, or earlier termination of this Agreement.

(e) The Lot Split shall have been accomplished at or prior to Closing; provided, however that if the Lot Split has not been accomplished by such time, and the parties reasonably believe that the Lot Split cannot be accomplished following the Closing, then the Seller shall convey, and the Buyer shall accept, the entire Property (as opposed to the Premises); provided that the Lender has consented to Buyer taking title to the entire Property. If the parties reasonably believe that the Lot Split can be accomplished following Closing and the Lender has consented to same, then (i) the Seller shall convey to the Buyer the Premises at Closing, (ii) the parties shall mutually cooperate to effectuate the Lot Split promptly after the Closing, and (iii) until the Lot Split has been accomplished, the Seller shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Buyer for any claim, damage, liability, cost or expense resulting from the failure to pay real estate taxes, assessments, and other charges levied or imposed by any governmental authority or utility provider on the Property, and from any liens encumbering the Property, other than liens created by the Buyer or its agents or contractors. This Section 5(e) shall survive the Closing, and shall not lapse.

(f) If reasonably requested by Seller, the parties shall record an easement simultaneous with the accomplishment of the Lot Split (or immediately thereafter) for the purposes of ingress and egress between New Hartford Road and the Excluded Parcel, over and across the Property, in a location to be agreed upon by the parties (the “Easement”). Seller’s request for such Easement shall be made in writing prior to the Closing, and if made, the parties shall negotiate in good faith, and agree on, the terms of the Easement prior to the Closing. If the entire Property is conveyed at Closing, the terms of this Section 5(f) shall not be applicable, and no Easement will be recorded. In the event the Lot Split has not been accomplished at or prior to Closing, and at Closing, the Buyer takes title to the Premises (and not the Excluded Parcel), then (i) the parties shall record the Easement simultaneous with the accomplishment of the Lot Split (or immediately thereafter), in such form agreed upon by the Buyer and Seller prior to Closing, and (ii) this Section 5 shall survive the Closing and shall not lapse. The parties acknowledge that the Lender’s consent to the Easement will be required, if such Easement is to be recorded after the Closing, and the parties agree to obtain the Lender’s consent to the Easement prior to Closing, if the Premises (excluded the Excluded Parcel) is conveyed prior to the Lot Split.

(g) If the foregoing contingencies set forth in this Section 5 are not satisfied within the respective time periods set forth above, then in addition to any rights afforded by Section 4 and Section 15 of this Agreement Buyer shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller and Escrow Agent in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 10(b) below (the “Termination Notice”), whereupon the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit for the rejected Premises and all interest earned thereon shall be returned to Buyer and this Agreement shall terminate and become null and void and all parties hereto shall be relieved of all obligations hereunder, except those obligations that expressly survive closing.

(iv) To Buyer upon receipt of written demand therefor (“Buyer’s Demand for Deposit”) stating that this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with the provisions hereof for any reason other than as provided in Section 10(b)(i) above, or that Seller has defaulted in the performance of any of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement and the facts and circumstances underlying the same; provided, however, that the Escrow Agent shall not honor such demand until more than ten (10) days after the Escrow Agent shall have sent a copy of such demand to Seller in accordance with the provisions of Section 10(c) of this Agreement nor thereafter, if the Escrow Agent shall have received a Notice of Objection from Seller within such ten (10) day period.

(f) Upon making delivery of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit in the manner herein provided, the Escrow Agent shall have no further liability hereunder.

(g) The Escrow Agent shall either execute this Agreement or indicate in writing that it has accepted the role of Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement which in either case will confirm that the Escrow Agent is holding and will hold the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit in escrow, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

11. Seller’s Covenants, Representations and Warranties. In order to induce Buyer to enter into this Agreement and purchase the Premises, Seller, jointly and severally, makes the following covenants, agreements, representations and warranties, all of which shall survive the Closing and the purchase and sale of the Premises:

(a) Seller has obtained all necessary authorizations and consents to enable it to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transaction contemplated hereby, including without limitation all authorizations and consents required to be obtained from governmental authorities during the course of, and upon completion of, construction of the Improvements.

(b) Seller holds, or prior to the Closing Date shall hold, fee simple title to the Premises, free of all liens, assessments and encumbrances except for the applicable Permitted Exceptions for each respective Premises, and liens and encumbrances which will be paid and discharged at or prior to the Closing. Seller has no actual knowledge of any condition or state of facts which would preclude, limit or restrict the business operations conducted or contemplated, pursuant to the terms of the Lease to be conducted by Tenant.

(c) Except for construction warranties with respect to the Improvements, there are no service or maintenance contracts or other agreements affecting the Premises to which Buyer will be bound upon Closing, except for those contracts which Seller intends to keep in place and on which Seller shall remain liable as Tenant under the Lease.

(d) The Premises and the proposed use thereof by Tenant and the condition thereof do not violate any applicable deed restrictions, zoning or subdivision regulations, urban redevelopment plans, Environmental Laws or any building code or fire code applicable to the Premises, and are not designated by any governmental agency to be in a flood plain area.

(e) (i) There shall exist no event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default under the Lease for the Premises; and (ii) all leasing commissions and fees with respect to the Lease, if any, have been paid in full.

(f) There is no pending or, to Seller’s knowledge, threatened litigation or other proceeding affecting the title to or the use or operation of the Premises.

(g) Seller is not a “foreign person” within the meaning of Section 1445(f)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and Seller shall certify its taxpayer identification number at Closing.

(h) To Seller’s actual knowledge, there are no federal, state, county or municipal plans to restrict or change access from any highway or road to the Premises.

(i) All of the financial data regarding the construction, ownership and operation of the Premises that Seller has provided to Buyer is materially true, complete and correct.

(j) Except as reflected in any Phase I or Phase II environmental site assessments pertaining to the Premises as provided by Seller to Buyer, or otherwise obtained by Lender from a reputable licensed source, no Hazardous Materials are, will be, or to the best of Seller’s knowledge, have been, stored, treated, disposed of or incorporated into, on or around the Premises in violation of any Environmental Laws; the Premises are in material compliance with all Environmental Laws; any business currently operated on the Premises has disposed of its waste in accordance with all Environmental Laws; Seller has obtained and is in material compliance with all permits required by Environmental Laws necessary for the conduct of the business currently conducted on the Premises and the ownership of the Premises and all such permits are in full force and effect; and, there are no active or abandoned aboveground or underground storage tanks at the Premises.

(k) Seller has no notice of any pending Environmental Claim arising out of the condition of the Premises or any notice of any pending violation of Environmental Law with respect to the Premises.

(l) The Property is contained in one or more separate parcels for real estate tax assessment purposes, which parcels do not contain any land other than the Property.

All of the representations, warranties and agreements of Seller set forth in this Section 11 shall be true upon the execution of this Agreement and shall be reaffirmed and repeated in writing at and as of the Closing Date, but not subsequent to the Closing Date, and shall survive the Closing Date for a period of one (1) year after the Closing.

12. Covenants of Seller Pending Closing. Between the date hereof and the Closing Dates, Seller shall:

(a) Continue to operate the Premises as they are being operated on the Effective Date, and to keep the Premises in same condition, subject to wear, tear and casualty; and

(b) Within five (5) business days following receipt thereof (but in any event at least one day prior to the Closing Date), provide Buyer with copies of any letters or notices received by Seller relating to or in any manner affecting the Premises.

13. Eminent Domain. If prior to the date of the Closing, Seller or Buyer acquires knowledge of any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding to condemn or take all or any part of the Premises under the power of eminent domain, then Seller or Buyer shall immediately give notice thereof to the other. In such event, at Buyer’s option, Buyer may terminate this Agreement, as to the Premises. If Buyer elects not to terminate this Agreement as to the Premises, Buyer shall be entitled to all condemnation proceeds due the lessor under the Lease.

14. Casualty. If prior to the date of the Closing any of the Premises, or any portion thereof, shall be damaged or destroyed by reason of fire, storm, accident or other casualty, then Seller shall immediately give notice thereof to Buyer. In the event more than twenty five percent (25%) of the Premises is damaged by reason of fire, storm, accident or other casualty (or any portion of the Premises if Seller does not have full replacement cost insurance in place as of the date of such damage), the Buyer, at its option, may terminate this Agreement. If Buyer elects not to terminate this Agreement, Buyer shall be entitled to all insurance proceeds and a credit in the amount of any deductible; provided, however, Buyer shall not be entitled to any insurance proceeds from the destruction or damage to Seller’s personal property or trade fixtures and those insurance proceeds payable to Buyer should be available to Seller, or tenant under the Lease to restore the Premises as provided in the Lease.

15. Remedies Upon Default.

(a) In the event Buyer breaches or defaults under any of the terms of this Agreement prior to or on the Closing Date, the sole and exclusive remedy of Seller shall be to receive from Escrow Agent the full amount of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit, and Buyer shall have no right therein. Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that (i) the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit and any interest earned thereon if received in accordance with the terms of this Agreement is a reasonable estimate of and bears a reasonable relationship to the damages that would be suffered and costs incurred by Seller as a result of having withdrawn the Property from sale and the failure of Closing to occur due to a default of Buyer under this Agreement; (ii) the actual damages suffered and costs incurred by Seller as a result of such withdrawal and failure to close due to a default of Buyer under this Agreement would be extremely difficult and impractical to determine; (iii) Buyer seeks to limit its liability under this Agreement to the amount of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit and any interest earned thereon if the transaction contemplated by this Agreement does not close due to a default of Buyer under this Agreement; and (iv) such amount shall be and constitute valid liquidated damages.

(b) In the event Seller defaults under any of the terms of this Agreement on or prior to the Closing Date (including, without limitation, by failing or refusing to deliver any items required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5 or Section 6 of this Agreement) and Buyer is ready and able to close, Buyer shall be entitled to (i) receive a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit and terminate this Agreement, or (ii) compel specific performance of this Agreement, if Buyer elects to compel specific performance, Buyer may also recover all of its costs and attorneys’ fees in seeking such specific performance, or (iii) if specific performance is not possible or if Buyer elects not to pursue specific performance, receive a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit (if Closing does not occur) and recover the cost of any 3rd party reports obtained by Buyer and its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs (provided such actual costs shall not exceed the amount of $36,000) which shall include damages resulting from a breach of any warranty or representation of Seller as of the Closing even if the same is not discovered until after the Closing, to the extent the same survive the Closing.

16. Notices. All notices, elections, requests and other communication hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (i) when delivered, or (ii) when transmitted by facsimile or telecopy transmission, with receipt acknowledge upon transmission; addressed as follows (or to such other person or at such other address, of which any party hereto shall have given written notice as provided herein) (refusal to accept delivery by either party shall be deemed delivery):

17. Brokerage Commissions. Seller and Buyer each represents and warrants to the other party that no finders or brokers have been involved with the introduction of Buyer and Tenant, the purchase and sale of the Premises or the execution and delivery of the Lease and the leasing of the Premises pursuant. In the event of a breach of the foregoing warranties, the breaching party agrees to save, defend, indemnify and hold harmless the non-breaching party from and against any claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees. The obligations of this Section shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.

18. Buyer’s Covenants, Representations and Warranties. In order to induce Seller to enter into this Agreement and sell the Premises, Buyer makes the following covenants, agreements, representations and warranties, all of which shall survive the Closing and the purchase and sale of each of the respective Premises: (i) Buyer has full right and authority to enter into the transaction contemplated hereby on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and (ii) the provisions of this Agreement do not conflict with or violate the provisions of any existing agreements between the Buyer and any third parties.

19. Environmental Matters.

(a) Notwithstanding any term hereof to the contrary, Seller hereby represents and warrants that at Closing, Seller shall take the following actions:

(i) Seller shall enter into, and shall cause the Parent, to enter into, on a joint and several basis, an environmental indemnity agreement (“Environmental Indemnity Agreement”) in favor of Lender, on terms substantially similar to the form set forth on Exhibit I hereto. In the event, prior to Closing, the Seller, in its discretion, does not agree to the terms of the Environmental Indemnity Agreement as required by Lender, then Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Buyer, whereupon the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and this Agreement shall terminate and become null and void and all parties hereto shall be relieved of all obligations hereunder, except those obligations that expressly survive Closing.

(ii) Seller shall enter into, and cause Parent to enter into, an agreement in favor of Lender and Purchaser (the “Post-Closing Remediation Agreement”) to undertake remediation of any Hazardous Materials discovered on the Premises and required to be investigated and/or remediated by Environmental Law or by Buyer or Lender, as reflected in environmental reports obtained by Buyer or Lender in connection with the Buyer’s acquisition of the Premises. The Post-Closing Remediation Agreement shall require Seller to deposit with Lender (the “Remediation Escrow Deposit”) an amount equal to one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the amount required for such remediation activities, as reasonably determined by the Buyer, its Lender and Seller, which such funds shall be used and drawn upon by Seller to pay for the remediation required pursuant to the Post-Closing Remediation Agreement. The other terms of such Post-Closing Remediation Agreement shall be negotiated in good faith between the Seller and Buyer prior to Closing. In the event the amount of the Remediation Escrow Deposit required by the Lender exceeds Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000), then Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other party, whereupon the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and this Agreement shall terminate and become null and void and all parties hereto shall be relieved of all obligations hereunder, except those obligations that expressly survive Closing.

(iii) To the extent required by Sections 22a-134 et seq. of the General Statutes of Connecticut, as amended (the “Transfer Act”), Seller shall (i) prepare, and certify as the “certifying party,” as that term is defined in the Transfer Act, and file, within ten (10) days after the Closing Date, the appropriate Transfer Act Form (e.g., Form III), Environmental Condition Assessment Form, fee forms and all other necessary filings as may be required under the Transfer Act, (ii) pay any filing and other fees as may be required under the Transfer Act, (iii) provide Buyer with a copy of any and all filings, reports, correspondence and site assessments submitted to or received from the Connecticut Department of Energy & Environmental Protection (“DEEP”) with respect to such Transfer Act matters, and (iv) without in any way interfering with Buyer’s ownership of the Premises, prepare, implement and complete any investigation, site monitoring, containment, clean-up, removal, disposal, restoration and other remedial efforts of any kind with respect to Releases of Hazardous Materials, if any, required by the Transfer Act. Seller shall provide Buyer with drafts of any Transfer Act filings for Buyer’s review and comment at least three (3) business days prior to submission of such filings to the DEEP. To the extent permitted by the Post-Closing Remediation Agreement, after the Closing Date and upon reasonable advance notice to Buyer, Buyer shall grant Seller and Seller's agents reasonable access to the Premises to the extent necessary (as determined by Buyer) to conduct the activities required pursuant to this Section 19 and the Transfer Act. Seller agrees to have Buyer listed as an additional insured on all applicable insurance policies of Seller’s agents that require access to the Premises to conduct the activities required pursuant to this Section 19 and the Transfer Act. Seller also shall require of Seller’s agents that Buyer may rely on any documents, data and/or reports issued by Seller’s agents (at no cost to Buyer) in connection with the activities required pursuant to this Section 19 and the Transfer Act. Seller agrees to also be the certifying party as provided above.

(b) In no event shall Buyer be liable for the presence or Release of any Hazardous Materials at the Premises, or any property adjacent to the Premises, which first occurred prior to the Closing, or any Environmental Claim pertaining thereto. Seller agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Buyer, and its members, managers, employees, and agents, and their successors and assigns from and against any claim, liability, loss, damage or cost (including reasonable attorney’s fees), including but not limited to any Environmental Claim, arising out of or related to the presence or Release of Hazardous Materials at the Premises, or any property adjacent to the Premises (i.e., the Excluded Parcel and 00 Xxx Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx, XX, only), which first occurred prior to the Closing, and any post-Closing investigation or remediation thereof.

20. Miscellaneous Provisions.

(a) Assignment; Binding Effect. Buyer may assign all of its rights and obligations hereunder, without the written consent of Seller, to (i) any entity which is wholly owned and controlled and managed by the owner(s) of Buyer; provided however, that any assignee of Buyer shall assume all of the obligations of Buyer hereunder in writing delivered no later than five (5) days before Closing date, with written documentation of relationship to Buyer. In the event of any permitted assignment hereunder Buyer shall thereupon be relieved of all further liability under this Agreement; except that the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit shall not be released or otherwise adversely affected as a result of any such assignment, and provided that Buyer shall not be released from any liability for its breach of any representation or warranty made by it as Buyer under the Agreement. Seller shall have the right to assign its rights and obligations hereunder, provided that the Seller named herein shall deliver written notice thereof to Buyer and shall remain liable for any breach of the representations and warranties and performance of the covenants set forth herein. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Seller and Buyer and their respective successors and assigns.

(b) Captions. The several headings and captions of the Sections and subsections used herein are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way be deemed to limit, define or restrict the substantive provisions of this Agreement.

(d) Entire Agreement; Recording. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of Buyer and Seller with respect to the purchase and sale of the Premises, and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreement with respect thereto. No amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be binding upon the parties unless made in writing and signed by both Seller and Buyer. Neither this Agreement nor any Memorandum thereof shall be recorded by any party and, if recorded by any party, the other party hereto may immediately terminate all of its obligations under this Agreement.

(e) Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to Seller’s and Buyer’s performance of all of the terms, conditions and covenants of this Agreement.

(f) Cooperation. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate fully with each other to carry out effectively the purchase and sale of the Property, in accordance herewith and the satisfaction and compliance with all of the conditions and requirements set forth herein, and shall execute such instruments and perform such acts as may be reasonably requested by either party hereto.

(g) Governing Law. This Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws and customs of the State of Connecticut.

(h) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts each of which, when so executed, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

(i) Attorneys’ Fees. In the event any party to this Agreement should bring suit against the other party in respect to any matters provided for herein, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party its costs of court, legal expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees. As used herein, the “prevailing party” shall include, without limitation, any party who dismisses an action for recovery hereunder in exchange for payment of the sums allegedly due, performance of covenants allegedly breached or consideration substantially equal to the relief sought in the action.

(j) Certain References. As used in this Agreement, the words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereunder” and words of similar import shall mean and refer to this entire Agreement and not to any particular article, section or paragraph of this Agreement, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

(k) Time Periods. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all periods for performance, approval, delivery or review and the like shall be determined on a “calendar” day basis. If any day for performance, approval, delivery or review shall fall on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the time therefor shall be extended to the next business day. All references to “business days” shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a national bank holiday.

(l) Authority. Each person executing this Agreement, by his or her execution hereof, represents and warrants that they are fully authorized to do so, and that no further action or consent on the part of the party for whom they are acting is required to the effectiveness and enforceability of this Agreement against such party following such execution.

(m) Severability. If any provision of this Agreement should be held to be invalid or unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.

(n) Waiver. One or more waivers of any covenant, term or condition of this Agreement by either party shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same covenant, term or condition. The consent or approval by either party to or of any act by the other party requiring such consent or approval shall not be deemed to waiver or render unnecessary consent to or approval of any subsequent similar act.

(o) Relationship of the Parties. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto, nor by any third party, as creating the relationship of principal and agent or of partnership or of joint venture between the parties hereto, it being understood and agreed that no provision contained herein, nor any acts of the parties hereto shall be deemed to create the relationship between the parties hereto other than the relationship of seller and buyer. This Agreement has been drafted by both parties.

(p) Termination. This Agreement shall be void and of no force and effect unless signed by Seller and delivered to Buyer no later than five (5) business days following the date of Buyer’s execution and delivery of this Agreement.

GUARANTY OF LEASE

The undersigned, Air Industries Group, a Nevada corporation, whose address is 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Happuage, New York, 11788, in consideration of the leasing of the leased premises described in that certain Lease (hereinafter referred to as the "Lease"), dated __________, 2016 between GREEN DESK LLC, whose address is 00000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, XX 00000 as Landlord (hereinafter referred to as "Landlord"), and AIR REALTY GROUP LLC, whose address is 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, 00000, as Tenant (hereinafter referred to as "Tenant"), does hereby covenant and agree as follows:

The undersigned does hereby guarantee the full, faithful and timely payment and performance by Tenant of all of the payments, covenants and other obligations of Tenant under or pursuant to the Lease. If Tenant shall default at any time in the payment of any rent or any other sums, costs or charges whatsoever, or in the performance of any of the other covenants and obligations of Tenant, under or pursuant to the Lease, then the undersigned, at its expense, shall on demand of Landlord fully and promptly, and well and truly, pay all rent, sums, costs and charges to be paid by Tenant, and perform all the other covenants and obligations to be performed by Tenant, under or pursuant to the Lease, and in addition shall on Landlord's demand pay to Landlord any and all sums due to Landlord, including (without limitation) all interest on past due obligations of Tenant, costs advanced by Landlord, and damages and all expenses (including attorneys' fees and litigation costs), that may arise in consequence of Tenant's default. The undersigned hereby waives all requirements of notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty and all requirements of notice of breach or nonperformance by Tenant.

The obligations of the undersigned hereunder are independent of the obligations of Tenant. A separate action or actions may, at Landlord's option, be brought and prosecuted against the undersigned, whether or not any action is first or subsequently brought against Tenant, or whether or not Tenant is joined in any such action, and the undersigned may be joined in any action or proceeding commenced by Landlord against Tenant arising out of, in connection with or based upon the Lease. The undersigned waives any right to require Landlord to proceed against Tenant or pursue any other remedy in Landlord's power whatsoever, any right to complain of delay in the enforcement of Landlord's rights under the Lease, and any demand by Landlord and/or prior action by Landlord of any nature whatsoever against Tenant, or otherwise.

This Guaranty shall remain and continue in full force and effect and shall not be discharged in whole or in part notwithstanding (whether prior or subsequent to the execution hereof) any alteration, renewal, extension, modification, amendment or assignment of, or subletting, concession, franchising, licensing or permitting under the Lease. The undersigned hereby waives notices of any of the foregoing, and agrees that the liability of the undersigned hereunder shall be based upon the obligations of Tenant set forth in the Lease as the same may be altered, renewed, extended, modified, amended or assigned. For the purpose of this Guaranty and the obligations and liabilities of the undersigned hereunder, "Tenant" shall be deemed to include any and all concessionaires, licensees, franchisees, department operators, assignees, subtenants, permittees or others directly or indirectly operating or conducting a business in or from the Premises, as fully as if any of the same were the named Tenant under the Lease.

G-1

The undersigned's obligations hereunder shall remain fully binding although Landlord may have waived one or more defaults by Tenant, extended the time of performance by Tenant, released, returned or misapplied other collateral at any time given as security for Tenant's obligations (including other guaranties) and/or released Tenant from the performance of its obligations under the Lease.

This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the institution by or against Tenant, of bankruptcy, reorganization, readjustment, receivership or insolvency proceedings of any nature, or the disaffirmance of the Lease in any such proceedings or otherwise.

If this Guaranty is signed by more than one party, their obligations shall be joint and several, and the release of one of such guarantors shall not release any other of such guarantors.

Neuter terms should also refer, where applicable, to the feminine gender and the masculine gender; the singular reference shall also include the plural of any word if the context so requires.

This Guaranty shall be applicable to and binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, representatives, successors and assigns of Landlord, Tenant and the undersigned. Landlord may, without notice, assign this Guaranty in whole or in part.

In the event that Landlord should institute any suit against the undersigned for violation of or to enforce any of the covenants or conditions of this Guaranty or to enforce any right of Landlord hereunder, or should the undersigned institute any suit against Landlord arising out of or in connection with this Guaranty, or should either party institute a suit against the other for a declaration of rights hereunder, or should either party intervene in any suit in which the other is a party to enforce or protect its interest or rights hereunder, the prevailing party in any such suit shall be entitled to the fees of its attorney(s) in the reasonable amount thereof, to be determined by the court and taxed as a part of the costs therein.

The execution of this Guaranty prior to execution of the Lease shall not invalidate this Guaranty or lessen the obligations of Guarantor(s) hereunder.

G-2

Upon Landlord's written request, the undersigned shall promptly furnish Landlord (in any event, within twenty (20) days of request), from time to time, with financial statements (including, without limitation, operating statements including an annual profit and loss statement for the individual store unit covered by the Lease) reflecting the undersigned’s current financial condition, and written evidence of ownership of managing and controlling interests in the undersigned and in any entities which directly or indirectly control or manage the undersigned.

The undersigned shall, without charge and within twenty (20) days after any request of Landlord, certify in writing to any person specified in such request, as to the existence, amendment, validity of this Guaranty, the existence of any default or counterclaim hereunder or under the Lease and any other matter reasonably requested. Any such certificate may be relied upon by any party requesting it and by any person to whom the same may be exhibited.

This Guaranty is made pursuant to, and shall be interpreted and applied in accordance with, the laws of the State of Michigan.

WHEREAS, Tenant desires to lease from Landlord, and Landlord has agreed to lease to Tenant, the Premises upon the terms and conditions as more particularly hereinafter provided and described.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises hereof, the sums of money to be paid hereunder, and the mutual and reciprocal obligations undertaken herein, the parties hereto do hereby covenant, stipulate and agree as follows:

ARTICLE I.

AGREEMENT TO LEASE

1.1 Demise. Landlord does hereby demise, and lease to Tenant, and Tenant does hereby lease and take as tenant from Landlord, the Premises upon those terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

1.2 Condition. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that the Premises is and shall be leased by Landlord to Tenant in its present “as is” condition and that Landlord makes absolutely no representations or warranties whatsoever with respect to the Premises or the condition thereof. Tenant acknowledges that Landlord has not investigated and does not warrant or represent to Tenant that the Premises are fit for the purposes intended by Tenant or for any other purpose or purposes whatsoever, and Tenant acknowledges that the Premises are to be leased to Tenant in their existing condition, i.e., “as-is”, on and as of the Possession Date (as hereinafter defined). Tenant acknowledges that Tenant shall be solely responsible for any and all actions, repairs, permits, approvals and costs required for the rehabilitation, renovation, use, occupancy and operation of the Premises in accordance with applicable governmental requirements, including, without limitation, all governmental charges and fees, if any, which may be due or payable to applicable authorities. Tenant agrees that, by leasing the Premises, Tenant warrants and represents that Tenant has examined and approved all things concerning the Premises which Tenant deems material to Tenant’s leasing and use of the Premises. Tenant further acknowledges and agrees that (i) neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty, express or implied, concerning the Premises or which have induced Tenant to execute this Lease, (ii) any other representations and warranties are expressly disclaimed by Landlord, and (iii) Tenant has previously owned the Premises, is familiar with both the physical, environmental and economic condition of the Premises and is responsible for all aspects of the Premises.

1.3 Quiet Enjoyment. Landlord covenants and agrees that so long as Tenant shall timely pay all rents due to Landlord from Tenant under this Lease and keep, observe and perform all covenants, promises and agreements on Tenant’s part to be kept, observed and performed hereunder, Tenant shall and may peacefully and quietly have, hold and occupy the Premises free of any interference from Landlord; subject, however, and nevertheless to the terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease and subject to the terms of any mortgage encumbering the Premises.

ARTICLE II.

TERM

2.1 Term. The initial term of this Lease (the “Term”) shall, unless sooner terminated as elsewhere provided in this Lease, commence on the Effective Date and shall terminate and expire at 11:59 p.m. on the last date of the 15th Lease Year. The Initial Term, together with any Extension Period (defined in Section 2.4 as hereinafter defined) shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Term”.

2.2 Rental Commencement Date. For the purposes of this Lease, the “Rental Commencement Date” shall be the Effective Date hereof.

2.3 Possession Date. For the purposes of this Lease, the “Possession Date” shall be the date on which Landlord grants Tenant exclusive possession of the Premises, which shall be the Effective Date hereof.

2.4 Term Extensions. The term of the Lease shall automatically be extended beyond the Initial Term for up to three (3) successive five (5) year Extension Periods upon the same terms, covenants, conditions and rent as set herein (each, an “Extension Period”) (other than any prior Extension Period) unless Tenant notifies Landlord in writing in accordance with the notice provisions hereof at least twelve (12) months before the last day of the Initial Term or nine (9) months before the last day of the then current Extension Period, as applicable (the “Notice Date”) that the Lease shall terminate at the end of such current term without further extension. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord, at its sole option, and notwithstanding other remedies for Tenant’s default set forth herein, may refuse, by written notice to Tenant, to extend the Term of this Lease if, at the Notice Date or at the time of commencement of an Extension Period, Tenant is in default under any provision of this Lease as to which default Landlord has given notice to Tenant in accordance with this Lease hereof and such default remains uncured after the expiration of any applicable cure period, by and upon the delivery of such notice, all remaining rights of extension shall automatically expire.

2.5 Termination. Notwithstanding any present or future law to the contrary, this Lease shall not be terminated by Tenant for any failure of Landlord to perform pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Lease or otherwise for any reason except as expressly provided herein.

ARTICLE III.

RENT

3.1 Base Rent. Beginning on the Rental Commencement Date, and subject to proration as set forth below, Tenant shall pay monthly net base rent for the Premises in the amount set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto (“Base Rent”), together with all applicable sales and use taxes thereon. Base Rent shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord in equal monthly installments, in advance, on the first (1st) day of each calendar month commencing on the first (1st) day of the calendar month immediately following the Rental Commencement Date, it being agreed that Base Rent payable with respect to the period between the Rental Commencement Date and the first day of the following calendar month shall be due at the time that the first payment of Base Rent is due.

For the purposes of this Lease, the term “Lease Year” shall mean and be defined as each twelve month period commencing on the first day of the calendar month immediately following the Rental Commencement Date; provided, however, that the first Lease Year shall include the period from the Effective Date to the first day of the next following calendar month after the Rental Commencement Date. Base Rent shall be proportionately prorated for any extended or partial Lease Year (i.e., the first Lease Year and/or the final Lease Year).

3.2 Additional Rent; Rent Defined. If Landlord shall, upon no less than ten (10) days prior written notice to Tenant (other than in the event of an emergency for which only notices which are reasonable under the circumstances shall be given), make any expenditure for which Tenant is responsible or liable under this Lease, or if Tenant shall become obligated to Landlord or others under this Lease for any sum other than Base Rent as hereinabove provided, the amount thereof shall be deemed to constitute additional rent (“Additional Rent”) and shall be due and payable by Tenant to Landlord or others, together with all applicable sales taxes thereon, if any, within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice therefor.

For the purpose of this Lease, the term “Rent” shall mean and be defined as all Base Rent, and Additional Rent due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder and all other sums due under this Lease for the purpose of Section 592(b)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. 502(b)(6). Except as may be expressly otherwise provided in this Lease, there shall be no abatement, diminution or reduction of Base Rent, Additional Rent or any other sums due under this Lease under any circumstances including, without limitation, due to charges or other compensation claimed by or allowed to Tenant or any person claiming under it, nor shall there be any abatement or diminution or reduction of the performance of the obligations of Tenant under any circumstances.

3.3 Payment of Rent. Each of the foregoing amounts of Rent and other sums shall (upon receipt of an invoice as to Additional Rent only) be paid to Landlord or others without demand and without deduction, set-off, claim or counterclaim of any nature whatsoever which Tenant may have or allege to have against Landlord, and all such payments shall, upon receipt by Landlord, be and remain the sole and absolute property of Landlord. All such Rent and other sums shall be paid to Landlord in legal tender of the United States at the address to which notices to Landlord are to be given or to such other party or to such other address as Landlord may designate from time to time by written notice to Tenant. If Landlord shall at any time accept any such Rent or other sums after the same shall become due and payable, such acceptance shall not excuse a delay upon subsequent occasions, or constitute or be construed as a waiver of any of Landlord’s rights hereunder.

3.4 Past Due Rent. If Tenant fails to make any payment of Rent or any other sums or amounts to be paid by Tenant under the Lease on or before the date such payment is due and payable, any such past due payment shall bear interest from the date such payment became due to the date of payment thereof by Tenant at a rate which is equal to the lesser of (i) twelve percent (12%) per annum, or (ii) the maximum interest rate then allowable under the laws of the State in which the Premises are located. Any payment of Rent not paid within any permitted grace period specifically set forth in this Lease shall incur a late charge for reimbursement of Landlord’s anticipated out-of-pocket expenses due to such failure of five percent (5%) of the amount of such payment. Such late charge and interest shall constitute Additional Rent and shall be due and payable with the next installment of Rent due hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained in this Section, Tenant shall not be responsible for the late charge set forth in this Section if the first time Tenant fails to pay Base Rent when due Tenant pays such Base Rent within ten (10) days after delivery of written notice of such default.

3.5 No Diminution or Abatement of Rent. No abatement, diminution or reduction (i) of Rent, charges or other compensation, or (ii) of Tenant’s other obligations hereunder shall be allowed to Tenant or any person claiming under Tenant, under any circumstances or for any reason whatsoever, except as expressly provided otherwise herein.

ARTICLE IV.

USE AND OPERATION OF PREMISES

4.1 Permitted Use. Tenant covenants that it shall, throughout the Term of this Lease, use and occupy the Premises only for lawful industrial and office uses or other lawful uses consistent with applicable zoning and which do not conflict with covenants, restrictions or other matters of record affecting title to the Premises.

4.2 Compliance with Laws. Tenant shall at all times keep and maintain the Premises in compliance with all applicable laws, ordinances, statutes, rules, regulations, orders, directions and requirements of all federal, state, county and municipal governments and of all other governmental agencies or authorities having or claiming jurisdiction over the Premises or the business activities conducted thereon or therein and of all of their respective departments, bureaus, agencies or officers, and of any insurance underwriting board or insurance inspection bureau having or claiming such jurisdiction or any other body exercising similar functions and of all insurance companies from time to time selected by Tenant to write policies of insurance covering the Premises and any business or business activity conducted thereon or therein. Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent any governmental entity requires more parking spaces to be located on the Premises or more striped spaces to be located on the Premises, Tenant shall be responsible for complying with any such requirement.

4.3 Hazardous Materials, Sewage Prohibited and Connecticut Transfer Act. Tenant hereby agrees that Tenant, its employees, agents, invitees, licensees, contractors and subtenants (if permitted), shall handle, store, dispose of and use any and all Hazardous Materials (as hereinafter defined) located on the Premises which are standard for Tenant’s intended use of the Premises in accordance with Environmental Requirements (as hereinafter defined).

Commencing upon the Effective Date and continuing during the Term of this Lease, Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold Landlord, its successors and assigns, and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, harmless from and against any claims (including third party claims), demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs or expenses of whatever kind or nature, known or unknown, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, fees of environmental consultants and other experts and laboratory fees, contingent or otherwise, arising out of or in any way related to the following matters: (i) the release, use, storage, treatment, transportation, transfer, manufacture, refinement, handling, production, disposal or threatened release of any Hazardous Materials, on, over, under, from through or affecting the Premises or the air, soil, groundwater or

surface water, vegetation, buildings, personal property, persons or animals thereon (collectively a “Release”); (ii) any personal injury (including wrongful death) or property damages (real or personal) arising out of or related to such Release; (iii) any lawsuit brought or threatened in writing, settlement reached (with the consent of Tenant, not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed) or governmental order relating to a Release; (iv) any actual or noticed violation of or liability pursuant to Environmental Requirements which is based upon or in any way related to a Release; (v) any Pre-Existing Environmental Condition (as hereinafter defined); and/or (vi) the breach of any warranty, representation or covenant contained in this Section. The indemnity provided in this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease and is not limited or otherwise affected by Landlord’s knowledge of any matter. Tenant further agrees that Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense, for all Corrective Action (as hereinafter defined) relative to: (a) any and all Hazardous Materials in soil, groundwater or surface water on or about the Premises in amounts, concentrations or levels that meet or exceed Environmental Requirements, and (b) any Pre-Existing Environmental Condition.

As used herein, the term “Hazardous Materials” shall mean and be defined as any and all toxic or hazardous (or words of similar import or regulatory effect) substances, chemicals, materials or pollutants, of any kind or nature, whether naturally occurring or manmade, which are regulated, governed, restricted or prohibited by any federal, state or local law, decision, statute, rule, or ordinance currently in existence or hereafter enacted or rendered, and shall include (without limitation), all oil, gasoline, petroleum based substances and asbestos insulation, polychlorinated biphenyls and urea formaldehyde insulation. As used herein, the term “Pre-Existing Environmental Condition” means presence of: (i) Hazardous Materials in soil, groundwater or surface water on or about the Premises which first existed or first occurred prior to the Effective Date; or (ii) any other environmental condition which first existed or first occurred prior to the Effective Date. “Environmental Requirements”, as used herein, shall mean all applicable federal, state, and local government laws (including common law), rules, regulations, statutes, codes, ordinances, directives, guidance documents, cleanup or other standards, and any other governmental requirements or standards which pertain to, regulate, or impose liability or standards of conduct concerning the environment, natural resources, or the use, storage, human exposure to, handling, transportation, release, cleanup or disposal of Hazardous Substances. “Corrective Action” shall mean investigation, assessment, monitoring (including post-remediation confirmation monitoring), sampling, analysis, cleanup, removal, disposal, on-site treatment, off-site treatment, active remediation, passive remediation, remediation alternatives including but not limited to risk-based corrective action, if applicable, and/or other activities approved, concurred in or required by the governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Premises.

Tenant shall not discharge or permit to be discharged from the Premises any Hazardous Materials on, in or from the Premises. Any sewage which is produced or generated in connection with the use or operation of the Premises shall be handled and disposed of by Tenant as required by and in compliance with all applicable local, state and federal laws, ordinances and rules or regulations, including Environmental Requirements.

Tenant agrees that no underground storage tanks or underground storage receptacles shall be installed or constructed by Tenant on the Premises.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Tenant shall ensure any alterations or improvements at the Premises be conducted so as to not expose in an unsafe manner any persons working in or visiting the Premises to Hazardous Materials, and in connection with any such alterations or improvements shall remove, treat or encapsulate any Hazardous Materials present upon the Premises and affected by such work as required by and in compliance with Environmental Requirements.

Tenant shall not, during the Term of this Lease, conduct or allow any activities to be performed or occur on the Premises that would cause or allow the Premises or any portion therefor to become an “establishment” as that term is defined in the Connecticut Transfer Act, Conn. Gen. Stat. §§ 22a-134 et seq. (the “Transfer Act”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant causes or allows the Premises or any portion thereof to be or become an “establishment” pursuant to the Transfer Act, then Tenant shall be responsible for any and all costs and expenses relating to Landlord’s compliance with the Transfer Act in any future transaction subject to the Transfer Act, including signing as the “certifying party” as defined in the Transfer Act and conducting any pre- or post-closing obligations, including, without limitation, filing the applicable Transfer Act Forms, investigation, remediation and post-remediation monitoring.

Subject to Article XII of this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to perform an inspection of the Premises at any time with reasonable prior notice to Tenant to confirm compliance with this Section 4.3 and with Section 4.4 below. In addition, Landlord may commission, or allow lenders or prospective purchasers or tenants to commission, environmental site assessments (“ESAs”), including without limitation Phase I and Phase II ESAs, of the Premises at any time. If an ESA indicates Tenant has or may have caused a Release of Hazardous Materials or otherwise violated any applicable Environmental Requirements, then without limiting any other provisions of this Lease, Tenant shall pay the reasonable documented cost for the ESA and any additional testing, assessment, investigation or monitoring recommended as a result of the ESA.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if Tenant fails to perform or cause such removal, abatement and/or restoration, and such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after Tenant receives written notice from Landlord demanding the cure thereof (provided that if the same cannot be reasonably cured within such thirty (30) day period and Tenant shall have commenced to cure the same within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, such thirty (30) day period shall be extended for as long as it shall require Tenant in the exercise of diligence to cure the same, it being agreed that no such extension shall be for a period in excess of forty five (45) days), Landlord may, upon one (1) business day prior written notice, perform or cause to be performed such removal, abatement and/or restoration, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all the reasonable costs and expenses thereof within ten (10) days after receipt of bills therefor from Landlord.

4.5 Compliance With Restrictions, Etc. Tenant, at its expense, shall comply with all restrictive covenants or other title exceptions affecting the Premises and comply with and perform all of the obligations set forth therein to the extent that the same are applicable to the Premises or to the extent that the same, if not complied with or performed, would impair or prevent the continued use, occupancy and operation of the Premises. Further, in addition to Tenant’s payment obligations under this Lease, Tenant shall pay all reasonable, legal sums charged, levied or assessed under any restrictive covenants, declaration, reciprocal easement agreement or other title exceptions affecting the Premises promptly as the same become due and shall furnish Landlord evidence of payment thereof and indemnify, defend and hold harmless Landlord for any claim against Landlord for any such matters.

Any such sales, use or excise taxes shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord at the same time that each of the amounts with respect to which such taxes are payable are paid by Tenant to Landlord.

(d) If Landlord does not appeal the real estate tax assessment after request of Tenant, Tenant may, as long as it pays all real estate taxes first, upon notice to Landlord, appeal the real estate tax assessment attributable to the Premises and Landlord shall cooperate, including timely signing all required applications and documents and, if required, being named as a plaintiff.

ARTICLE VI.

UTILITIES

From and after the Effective Date Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay directly all charges, rents and fees (together with any applicable taxes or assessments thereon) when due for water, gas, electricity, air conditioning, heat, septic, sewer, refuse collection, telephone, telecommunications cable and any other utility charges or similar items in connection with the use or occupancy of the Premises during the Term of this Lease. Landlord shall not be responsible or liable in any way whatsoever for the impairment, interruption, stoppage, or other interference with any utility services to the Premises.

ARTICLE VII.

INSURANCE

7.1. During the Term, Tenant, at its sole cost, but for the mutual benefit of Landlord and Tenant, shall maintain the following insurance:

(a) General Comprehensive public liability insurance protecting and indemnifying Landlord and Tenant against all claims for damages to person or property or for loss of life or property occurring in, upon or about the Premises and the areas adjacent thereto, in the amount of not less than Three Million and 00/100 ($3,000,000.00) per occurrence and Five Million and 00/100 ($5,000,000.00) annual general aggregate limit per location, naming Landlord, its managing agent, if any, and any mortgagee(s), as their respective interests may appear as additional insureds;

Replacement Cost shall be determined from time to time by an independent appraiser, architect or engineer designated by Landlord and reasonably acceptable to Tenant, at Tenant's reasonable expense. The policy may include, at Landlord's reasonable option, a contingent liability endorsement and/or demolition and increased cost of construction endorsement in order for the Building to be constructed in accordance with all requirements and regulations which may be applicable at the time of loss or damage, of all governmental agencies having jurisdiction over the Building and construction of the Building.

(c) "All Risk" property insurance against fire, theft, vandalism, malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage and such additional perils as are now, or hereafter may be, included in a standard extended coverage endorsement from time to time in general use in the State in which the Premises is located upon property of every description and kind owned by Tenant and/or under Tenant's care, custody or control located in the Building or the Premises or for which Tenant is legally liable or installed by or on behalf of Tenant, including by way of example and not by way of limitation, fixtures, fittings and affixed installations in an amount equal to the full replacement cost thereof.

(d) Boiler and machinery insurance coverage, if appropriate, for all eligible objects, including pressure vessels and air conditioning equipment, with the electrical apparatus clause, with such limits as may be reasonably necessary to properly insure the values at risk in the Building.

(e) Business interruption and rent loss insurance, against the loss of Base and Additional Rent for no less than one (1) year as provided herein.

(f) Workers' Compensation Insurance (including employers' liability insurance) covering all persons employed at the Premises to the extent required by the laws of the State in which the Premises is located.

(g) Insurance for such other hazards and in such amounts as Landlord may reasonably require and as at the time are commonly insured against with respect to buildings similar in character, general location and particular manner of use and occupancy to the Premises in relative amounts normally carried with respect thereto. If, by reason of changed economic conditions, the insurance amounts referred to in this Section become inadequate, in Landlord's reasonable determination, Tenant agrees to increase the amounts of such insurance promptly upon Landlord's reasonable request.

Tenant represents, said representation being specifically designed to induce Landlord to execute this Lease, that Tenant's personal property, fixtures, goods and inventory and any other items which Tenant may bring to the Premises or which may be under Tenant's care, custody and control which may be subject to any claim for damages or destruction shall never exceed the amount of insurance which Tenant is required to carry pursuant to this Lease. Tenant shall name Landlord, its managing agent, if any, and Landlord's mortgagee[s] as an additional named insureds, as their interests may appear, with Landlord (or its mortgagee(s)) being designated as "loss payee" in all fire/casualty real property cases only. If at any time the amount of personal property, fixtures, goods and inventory or other items located at the Premises shall exceed said amount, Tenant covenants to so notify Landlord and at the same time increase the amount of insurance required to be carried pursuant to Subsection 7.1(c) to an amount sufficient to cover the aforesaid to preclude any liability on Landlord's part to Tenant. Should Tenant fail to do so, or fail to maintain insurance coverage adequate to cover the aforesaid, naming Landlord, its managing agent, if any, and Landlord's mortgagee[s] as an additional named insured, then, after written notice and a ten (10) day opportunity to cure, Tenant shall be in default hereunder and shall be deemed to have breached its covenants as set forth herein.

Tenant shall not do or permit to be done any act or thing on the Premises which shall invalidate or be in conflict with, or cause additional premium for any insurance policy insuring the Premises.

All policies of insurance required pursuant to this Section shall be from a company rated in the A.M. Best Key Rating Guide with a policyholder's service rating of A and a financial rating of X or such other rating as may be required by Landlord's mortgagee. The insurance company shall be licensed to do business in the State in which the Premises is located and a certificate(s) evidencing the existence of such policy shall be delivered to Landlord, together with evidence of the payment of the premiums therefore upon the execution of this Lease. Each insurance company shall agree to provide a notice of cancellation or non-renewal to Landlord and any mortgagee at least thirty (30) days prior to said event becoming effective. At least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration or termination date of any policy, Tenant shall deliver a renewal or replacement policy, or certificate(s) evidencing the existence thereof, to Landlord together with proof of the payment of the premium therefor. No deductible on any insurance required hereunder shall exceed Ten Thousand and 00/100 ($10,000.00) Dollars. If Tenant shall fail to comply with the provisions of this Article VII, Landlord shall have the right on no less than three (3) days prior written notice (unless Landlord needs to accelerate the implementation of such insurance due to the lapse or possible lapse of such insurance), but not the obligation, to procure such insurance and pay the premiums thereof and Landlord shall be entitled to repayment by Tenant immediately on demand, as Additional Rent.

7.2 Tenant is and shall be in exclusive control and possession of the Premises as provided herein, and Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss suffered by Tenant under any circumstances, including, but not limited to: (i) loss of or injury to Tenant or to Tenant's property or that for which Tenant is legally liable from any cause whatsoever, including but not limited to theft or burglary; or (ii) that which results from or is incidental to the furnishing of or failure to furnish or the interruption in connection with the furnishing of any service; or (iii) that which results from any inspection, repair, alteration or addition or the failure thereof undertaken or failed to be undertaken by Landlord; or (iv) any interruption to Tenant's business, however occurring.

The aforesaid exculpatory Section is to induce Landlord, in its judgment, to avoid or minimize covering risks which are better quantified and covered by Tenant either through insurance, thereby avoiding the need to increase the rent charged Tenant to compensate Landlord for the additional costs in obtaining said coverage or reserving against such losses.

Tenant shall indemnify, defend and save Landlord harmless against and from all and all liabilities, claims, suits, fines, penalties, damages, losses, fees, obligations, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees) which may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against Landlord by reason of:

(A) Any work or thing done in, on or about the Premises or any part thereof by Tenant or permitted by Tenant;

(B) Any use, occupation, condition or operation of the Premises by Tenant;

(C) Any act or omission on the part of Tenant or any of its agents, employees, invitees, licensees or subtenants on or within the Premises or any part thereof, or any occurrence on any of the same;

(D) Any accident, injury (including death) or damage to any third party or property owned by someone other than Tenant and not under the care, custody or control of Tenant occurring in, on or about the Premises or any part thereof;

(E) Any failure on the part of Tenant to perform or comply with any of the covenants, agreements, terms or conditions contained in this Lease.

The provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease.

7.3. Any policies required to be furnished by Tenant pursuant to this Article VII will unequivocally provide an undertaking by the insurers to notify Landlord and the mortgagees or ground lessors of Landlord (who Tenant has received notice thereof and the address of such mortgages or ground lessors) in writing not less than thirty (30) days prior to any material change, reduction in coverage, cancellation or other termination thereof.

7.4 All policies of insurance set forth in this Article shall expressly provide that any losses thereunder shall be adjusted with Landlord, Tenant and Landlord’s mortgagees. The Tenant will not take out separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required (or which may reasonably be required) pursuant to this paragraph to be furnished by the Tenant unless the Landlord and each of Landlord’s mortgagees are included therein as an insured, with all losses payable thereunder as provided above. Any such additional policy shall be subject to Landlord’s prior consent and if approved, shall be delivered to Landlord.

7.5 Carriers and Features. All insurance policies required to be carried by Tenant as provided in this Article shall be issued by insurance companies reasonably approved by Landlord authorized and licensed to do business in the State in which the Premises is located. The insurance companies must have (as determined by Landlord at its discretion): (i) an investment grade rating for claims paying ability assigned by a credit rating agency approved by Landlord and (ii) a general policy rating of A or better and a financial class of X or better by A.M. Best Company, Inc. All such policies shall be for periods of not less than one year and Tenant shall renew the same at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration thereof. All such policies shall name Landlord as additional insured and any wholly or principally owned subsidiaries of Landlord that may now or hereafter exist, as well as any mortgagee or collateral assignee of Landlord, and shall require not less than thirty (30) days written notice to Landlord prior to any cancellation thereof or any change reducing coverage thereunder. In addition to the foregoing, all policies of insurance required in this Article shall contain above shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that (i) no act or negligence of Tenant, or anyone acting for Tenant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any policy which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Landlord is concerned, and (ii) Landlord shall not be liable for any insurance premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

Tenant shall pay the premiums for all insurance policies which Tenant is obligated to carry under this Article and, at least thirty (30) days prior to the date any such insurance must be in effect, deliver to Landlord a copy of the policy or policies, or a certificate or certificates thereof (on XXXXX 27 forms or equivalent), along with evidence that the premiums therefor have been paid for at least the next ensuing annual period.

7.6 Failure to Procure Insurance. In the event Tenant shall fail to procure insurance required under this Article and fail to maintain the same in full force and effect continuously during the Term of this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to, upon no less than three (3) days’ written notice to Tenant (unless Landlord needs to accelerate the implementation of such insurance due to the lapse or possible lapse of such insurance), procure the same and Tenant shall immediately reimburse Landlord for such premium expense as past due Additional Rent.

7.7 Mutual Waiver of Subrogation. Tenant agrees that, if any property owned by it and located in the Premises shall be stolen, damaged or destroyed by an insured peril, Landlord shall not have any liability to Tenant, nor to any insurer of Tenant, for or in respect of such theft, damage or destruction, and Tenant and Landlord shall require all policies of risk insurance carried by it on its property in the Premises to contain or be endorsed with a provision in and by which the insurer designated therein shall waive its right of subrogation against Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be. Landlord agrees that, if any property owned by it and located in the Premises shall be stolen, damaged or destroyed by an insured peril, Tenant shall not have any liability to Landlord, nor to any insurer of Landlord, for or in respect of such theft, damage or destruction, and Landlord shall require all policies of risk insurance carried by it on its property in the Premises to contain or be endorsed with a provision in and by which the insurer designated therein shall waive its right of subrogation against Tenant.

ARTICLE VIII.

9.1 Repairs by Tenant. From and after the Effective Date and continuing throughout the Term of this Lease Tenant shall at all times and at its sole cost and expense, put, keep, replace and maintain the Premises (including, without limitation, the roof, plumbing systems, electric systems and HVAC systems) in repair and in safe and substantial order and condition, shall make all repairs thereto, both inside and outside, structural and non-structural, ordinary and extraordinary, howsoever the necessity or desirability for repairs may occur, and whether or not necessitated by wear, tear, obsolescence or defects, latent or otherwise, and shall use all reasonable precautions to prevent waste, damage or injury. Tenant shall also, at its own cost and expense, put, keep, replace and maintain all landscaping, signs, sidewalks, roadways, driveways and parking areas within the Premises in good repair and in good, safe and substantial order and condition and free from dirt, standing water, rubbish and other obstructions or obstacles.

ARTICLE X.

DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

10.1 Restoration and Repair. If, during the Term of this Lease, the Improvements shall be destroyed or damaged in whole or in part by fire, windstorm or any other cause whatsoever, Tenant shall give Landlord prompt notice thereof and shall repair, reconstruct or replace the Improvements, or the portion thereof so destroyed or damaged (whichever is reasonably required), at least to the extent of the value and character thereof existing immediately prior to such occurrence. All work shall be started as soon as practicable and completed, at Tenant’s sole reasonable cost and expense. Tenant shall, however, immediately take such action as is necessary to assure that the Premises (or any portion thereof) do not constitute a nuisance or otherwise present a health or safety hazard.

In the event of a casualty resulting in a loss payment for the Improvements in an amount greater than ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($100,000.00), the proceeds of all insurance policies maintained by Tenant shall be deposited in Landlord’s name in a joint escrow account at a bank or other financial institution agreed to by Landlord and Tenant, and shall be used by Tenant for the repair, reconstruction or restoration of the Improvements together with its own funds advanced by Tenant, which, together with the insurance proceeds, are sufficient to fully restore the Improvements. Such proceeds and such additional funds as are deposited by Tenant shall be disbursed periodically upon receipt of partial lien waivers and certification of the architect or engineer having supervision of the work that such amounts are the amounts paid or payable for the repair, reconstruction or restoration. Tenant shall obtain and make receipted bills available to Landlord and, upon completion of said work, full and final waivers of lien. In the event of a casualty resulting in a loss payment for the Improvements in an amount equal to or less than the amount stated above, the proceeds shall be paid to Tenant, and shall be applied towards repair, reconstruction and restoration.

10.3 Uninsured Losses. Nothing contained herein shall relieve Tenant of its obligations under this Article if the destruction or damage is not covered, either in whole or in part, by insurance.

ARTICLE XI.

CONDEMNATION

11.1 Complete Taking. If the whole of the Premises shall be taken or condemned for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, by right of eminent domain or by purchase in lieu thereof, or if a substantial portion of the Premises shall be so taken or condemned that the portion or portions remaining is or are not sufficient and suitable, in the mutual reasonable judgment of Landlord and Tenant, for the continued operation of the business contemplated by this Lease to be conducted thereon, therein or therefrom so as to effectively render the Premises untenantable, then this Lease and the Term hereby granted shall cease and terminate as of the date on which the condemning authority takes possession and all Rent shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord up to that date or refunded by Landlord to Tenant if Rent has previously been paid by Tenant beyond that date.

11.2 Partial Taking. If a portion of the Premises is taken, and the portion or portions remaining can, in the mutual reasonable judgment of Landlord and Tenant, be adapted and used for the conduct of Tenant’s business operation, such that the Premises are not effectively rendered untenantable or unfit for Tenant’s business purposes, then the Tenant shall promptly restore the remaining portion or portions thereof to a condition comparable to their condition at the time of such taking or condemnation, less the portion or portions lost by the taking, and this Lease shall continue in full force and effect except that the Rent payable hereunder shall, if necessary, be equitably adjusted to take into account the portion or portions of the Premises lost by the taking.

11.3 Award. The entire award for the Premises or the portion or portions thereof so taken shall be apportioned between Landlord and Tenant as follows: (i) if this Lease terminates due to a taking or condemnation, Landlord shall be entitled to the entire award (except for any separate award made to Tenant for its moving expenses, interruption of or damage to Tenant’s business, any unamortized leasehold improvements paid for by Tenant (regardless of whether such improvements are part of the Improvements or Landlord’s property pursuant to this Lease) and the value of any Tenant’s property, pursuant to a separate independent action taken by Tenant against the condemning authority); (ii) if this Lease does not terminate due to such taking or condemnation, Tenant shall be entitled to the award to the extent required for restoration of the Premises, and Landlord shall be entitled to the balance of the award not applied to restoration. If this Lease does not terminate due to a taking or condemnation, Tenant shall, with due diligence, restore the remaining portion or portions of the Premises in the manner hereinabove provided. In such event, the proceeds of the award to be applied to restoration shall be deposited with a bank or financial institution agreeable to Landlord and Tenant as if such award were insurance proceeds, and the amount so deposited will thereafter be treated in the same manner as insurance proceeds are to be treated under Section 7.2 of this Lease until the restoration has been completed and Tenant has been reimbursed for all the costs and expenses thereof. If the award is insufficient to pay for the restoration, Tenant shall be responsible for the remaining cost and expense of such restoration.

11.4 Disputes. If Landlord and Tenant cannot agree in respect of any matters to be determined under this Article, a determination shall be requested of the court having jurisdiction over the taking or condemnation; provided, however, that if said court will not accept such matters for determination, either party may have the matters determined by a court otherwise having jurisdiction over the parties.

ARTICLE XII.

LANDLORD’S RIGHT TO INSPECT

Landlord and its agents, mortgagees, proposed mortgagees, purchasers and their employees or representatives shall have the right to enter upon the Premises or any portion thereof during Tenant’s normal business hours on prior notice (other than in the event of an emergency). Only Tenant’s representative shall be welcome to participate in any such inspections, after twenty four (24) hours prior notice to Tenant, to inspect the operation, sanitation, safety, maintenance and use of the same, or any portions of the same and to assure itself that Tenant is in full compliance with its obligations under this Lease (but Landlord shall not thereby assume any responsibility for the performance of any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, nor any liability arising from the improper performance thereof). In making any such inspections, Landlord shall not unduly interrupt or interfere with the conduct of Tenant’s business.

ARTICLE XIII.

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING BY TENANT

Tenant may not assign its interest in this Lease or sublet the whole or any part of the Premises without the prior consent of Landlord, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Tenant shall remain primarily liable and responsible under this Lease in the event of any such assignment or sublease and shall not be released from its obligations hereunder nor shall the guaranty of the Lease by Air Industries Group be terminated or released. Any assignment of this Lease or subletting of the Premises without notification to and consent by Landlord shall not be effective as to Landlord and Landlord shall not be bound thereby.

Tenant agrees that it shall not be unreasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to a proposed sublease or assignment if:

(d) Tenant shall fail to furnish Landlord with a true and correct copy of the sublease or assignment and assumption not less than thirty (30) days prior to execution for Landlord’s review and approval and a fully executed counterpart of the sublease or assignment and assumption of this Lease, as applicable, within ten (10) days after the date of the execution of same;

(e) The Proposed Assignee is not solvent or is generally held in disrepute;

(f) Without consent of Landlord, Tenant may assign this Lease to a corporation or other entity which is a direct or indirect subsidiary of Guarantor.

ARTICLE XIV.

LANDLORD’S INTEREST NOT SUBJECT TO LIENS

14.1 Liens, Generally. Tenant shall not create or cause to be imposed, claimed or filed upon the Premises, or any portion thereof, or upon the interest of Landlord therein, any lien, charge or encumbrance whatsoever. If, because of any act or omission of Tenant, any such lien, charge or encumbrance shall be imposed, claimed or filed, Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, cause the same to be fully paid and satisfied or otherwise discharged of record (by bonding or otherwise) within thirty (30) days after the date such lien is recorded and Tenant has notice of same and Tenant shall indemnify , defend and save and hold Landlord harmless from and against any and all reasonable costs, liabilities, suits, penalties, claims and demands whatsoever, and from and against any and all reasonable attorneys’ fees, at both trial and all appellate levels, resulting or on account thereof and therefrom. In the event that Tenant shall fail to comply with the foregoing provisions of this Section, Landlord shall have the option of paying, satisfying or otherwise discharging (by bonding or otherwise) such lien, charge or encumbrance and Tenant agrees to reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent, for all sums so paid and for all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, together with interest thereon as provided in this Lease, until paid.

14.2 Mechanics Liens. Landlord’s interest in the Premises shall not be subjected to liens of any nature by reason of Tenant’s construction, alteration, renovation, repair, restoration, replacement or reconstruction of any improvements on or in the Premises, or by reason of any other act or omission of Tenant (or of any person claiming by, through or under Tenant) including, but not limited to, mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens. All persons dealing with Tenant are hereby placed on notice that such persons shall not look to Landlord or to Landlord’s credit or assets (including Landlord’s interest in the Premises) for payment or satisfaction of any obligations incurred in connection with the construction, alteration, renovation, repair, restoration, replacement or reconstruction thereof by or on behalf of Tenant. Tenant has no power, right or authority to subject Landlord’s interest in the Premises to any mechanic’s or materialmen’s lien or claim of lien. If a lien, a claim of lien or an order for the payment of money shall be imposed against the Premises on account of work performed, for or on behalf of Tenant, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after written notice of the imposition of such lien, claim or order, cause the Premises to be released therefrom by the payment of the obligation secured thereby or by furnishing a bond or by any other method prescribed or permitted by law. If a lien is released, Tenant shall thereupon establish the release as a matter of record by recording or filing it in the appropriate office of land records of the County in which the Premises is located, and shall furnish Landlord with a copy of same.

14.3 Contest of Liens. Tenant may, at its option, contest the validity of any lien or claim of lien if Tenant shall have first posted an appropriate and sufficient bond in favor of the claimant or paid the appropriate sum into court, if permitted by law, and thereby obtained the release of the Premises from such lien. If judgment is obtained by the claimant under any lien, Tenant shall pay the same immediately after such judgment shall have become final and the time for appeal therefrom has expired without appeal having been taken. Tenant shall, at its own expense, defend the interests of Tenant and Landlord in any and all such suits; provided, however, that Landlord may, at its election, engage its own counsel and assert its own defenses, in which event Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord and make available to Landlord all information and data which Landlord deems necessary or desirable for such defense.

14.4 Notices of Commencement of Construction. If required by the laws of the State in which the Premises is located, prior to commencement by Tenant of any work on the Premises Tenant shall record or file a notice of the commencement of such work (the “Notice of Commencement”) in the land records of the County in which the Premises are located, identifying Tenant as the party for whom such work is being performed, stating such other matters as may be required by law and requiring the service of copies of all notices, liens or claims of lien upon Landlord. Any such Notice of Commencement shall clearly reflect that the interest of Tenant in the Premises is that of a leasehold estate and shall also clearly reflect that the interest of Landlord as the fee simple owner of the Premises shall not be subject to mechanics or materialmen’s liens on account of the work which is the subject of such Notice of Commencement. A copy of any such Notice of Commencement shall be furnished to and approved by Landlord and its attorneys prior to the recording or filing thereof, as aforesaid.

ARTICLE XV.

SUBORDINATION, ATTORNMENT AND NON-DISTURBANCE

15.1 Subordination. Provided Tenant receives a recordable SNDA from any mortgagee or ground lessor, this Lease, Tenant’s interest hereunder and Tenant’s leasehold interest in and to the Premises are hereby agreed by Tenant to be and are hereby made junior, inferior, subordinate and subject in right, title, interest, lien, encumbrance, priority and all other respects to any mortgage or mortgages now or hereafter in force and effect upon or encumbering Landlord’s interest in the Premises, or any portion thereof, and to all collateral assignments by Landlord to any third party or parties of any of Landlord’s rights under this Lease or the rents, issues and profits thereof or therefrom as security for any liability or indebtedness, direct, indirect or contingent, of Landlord to such third party or parties, and to all future modifications, extensions, renewals, consolidations and replacements of, and all amendments and supplements to any such mortgage, mortgages or assignments, and upon recording of any such mortgage, mortgages or assignments, the same shall be deemed to be prior in dignity, lien and encumbrance to this Lease, Tenant’s interest hereunder and Tenant’s leasehold interest in and to the Premises irrespective of the dates of execution, delivery or recordation of any such mortgage, mortgages or assignments; provided, however, Tenant’s possession and right of use under this Lease in and to the Premises shall not be disturbed by such mortgagee or ground lessor unless and until Tenant shall breach any of the provisions hereof after notice and expiration of the applicable cure period, if any. The foregoing subordination provisions of this Section shall be automatic and self-operative without the necessity of the execution of any further instrument or agreement of subordination on the part of Tenant. However, if Landlord or the holder or proposed holder of any such mortgage, mortgages or assignments shall request that Tenant execute and deliver any further instrument or agreement of subordination of this Lease, Tenant’s interest hereunder or Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Premises to any such mortgage, mortgages or assignments in confirmation or furtherance of or in addition to the foregoing subordination provisions of this Section, Tenant shall execute and deliver the same to the requesting party within thirty (30) days following Tenant’s receipt of such a written request. Tenant’s failure to execute a subordination pursuant to this Section or an Estoppel Certificate pursuant to Section 20.2 shall be an Event of Default for which no notice, grace or cure period shall be provided, provided Tenant is notified of the potential for a default when the request is made. For the avoidance of doubt, this Lease and Tenant’s interest hereunder are also hereby agreed by Tenant to be and are hereby made junior, inferior, subordinate and subject in right, title, interest, lien, encumbrance, priority and all other respects to any environmental land use restriction or activity and use restriction to be placed on the Premises (or any portion thereof) in connection with or pursuant to Environmental Requirements, including the Transfer Act.

15.2 Attornment. Tenant shall and hereby agrees to attorn, and be bound under all of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Lease, to any successor of the interest of Landlord under this Lease for the balance of the Term of this Lease remaining at the time of the succession of such interest to such successor. In particular, in the event that any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any mortgage or security interest encumbering or collateral assignment of Landlord’s interest in the Premises, or any portion thereof, Tenant shall attorn to the purchaser at any such foreclosure sale and recognize such purchaser as Landlord under this Lease, subject, however, to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease. Tenant agrees that neither the purchaser at any such foreclosure sale nor the foreclosing mortgagee or holder of such security interest or collateral assignment shall have any liability for any act or omission of Landlord, be subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant may have as claim against Landlord, or be bound by any advance rents which may have been paid by Tenant to Landlord for more than the current period in which such rents come due; provided, however, if the foreclosing mortgagee had notice of any default and an opportunity to cure said default, then the foreclosing mortgagee will be subject to offsets and defenses for said default of which it had notice from Tenant.

ARTICLE XVI.

END OF TERM

16.1 Surrender of Premises. Tenant shall, on or before the last day of the Term of this Lease or upon the sooner termination thereof, peaceably and quietly surrender and deliver to Landlord the Premises (including, without limitation, all Improvements and all additions thereto and replacements thereof made from time to time over the Term of this Lease), in order, condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear and casualty excepted, and free and clear of all liens and encumbrances other than those which exist on the Rental Commencement Date or are otherwise specifically approved and acknowledged by Landlord in writing.

16.2 Holding Over. If Tenant or any other person or party shall remain in possession of the Premises or any part thereof following the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease without an agreement in writing between Landlord and Tenant with respect thereto, the person or party remaining in possession shall be deemed to be a tenant at sufferance, and during any such holdover, the Base Rent payable under this Lease by such tenant at sufferance shall be one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of the rate or rates in effect immediately prior to the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, plus Additional Rent. In no event, however, shall such holding over be deemed or construed to be or constitute a renewal or extension of this Lease. The parties agree that: (i) it would be impractical and extremely difficult to fix the actual damage Landlord will suffer in the event of Tenant’s holdover without Landlord’s consent; and (ii) the foregoing increases in Rent due during any holdover period represent a fair and reasonable estimate of the detriment that Landlord will suffer by reason of Tenant’s holdover without consent. Any holding over without Landlord's consent shall entitle Landlord to re-enter the Premises as provided in this Lease and Tenant shall pay to Landlord all reasonable documented damages sustained by Landlord as a result of retention of possession by Tenant, including, without limitation, the loss of any proposed subsequent tenant for any portion of the Premises.

ARTICLE XVII.

ARTICLE XIII.

DEFAULT

18.1 Events of Default. Each of the following events shall be an event of default hereunder by Tenant and shall constitute a breach of this Lease (individually an “Event of Default”):

(a) If Tenant shall fail to pay, when due, any Rent, or portion thereof, or any other sum due to Landlord from Tenant hereunder, and such failure shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after the due date thereof.

(b) If Tenant shall violate or fail to comply with or perform any other term, provision, covenant, agreement or condition to be performed or observed by Tenant under this Lease, and such violation or failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Landlord. However, if said violation cannot be cured within thirty (30) days and should Tenant commence to cure said violation or commence the performance of said provision, covenant, agreement or condition within said thirty (30) days and thereafter diligently pursue said cure, then such failure shall not be an Event of Default hereunder so long as Tenant is diligently pursuing said cure, and so long as said failure is cured in any event within ninety (90) days after the written notice from Landlord.

(c) If, at any time during the Term of this Lease, there shall be filed against Tenant in any court, pursuant to any statute of either the United States or of any State, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency, or for reorganization or arrangement, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of all or any portion of Tenant’s property, including, without limitation, its leasehold interest in the Premises, or if Tenant shall make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors or petitions for or enters into an arrangement with its creditors.

(d) If, at any time during the Term of this Lease, there shall be filed against Tenant in any courts pursuant to any statute of the United States or of any State, a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency, or for reorganization, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of all or a portion of Tenant’s property, including, without limitation, its leasehold interest in the Premises, and any such proceeding against Tenant shall not be dismissed within sixty (60) days following the commencement thereof.

(e) If Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Premises or property therein shall be seized under any levy, execution, attachment or other process of court where the same shall not be vacated or stayed on appeal or otherwise within sixty (60) days thereafter, or if Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Premises is sold by judicial sale and such sale is not vacated, set aside or stayed on appeal or otherwise within sixty (60) days thereafter.

18.2 Remedies on Default. If any of the Events of Default hereinabove specified shall occur, Landlord, at any time thereafter, shall have and may exercise any of the following rights and remedies:

(a) Landlord may, on no less than thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof to Tenant, terminate this Lease and, peaceably or pursuant to appropriate legal proceedings, re-enter, retake and resume possession of the Premises for Landlord’s own account and, for Tenant’s breach of and default under this Lease, recover from Tenant any and all rents and other sums and damages due or in existence at the time of such termination, including, without limitation, (i) all unaccelerated Rent and other sums, charges, payments, costs and expenses agreed and/or required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, (ii) all reasonable documented costs and expenses of Landlord in connection with the recovery of possession of the Premises, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, and (iii) all reasonable documented costs and expenses of Landlord in connection with any reletting or attempted reletting of the Premises or any part or parts thereof, including, without limitation, brokerage fees, attorneys’ fees and the cost of any alterations or repairs which may be reasonably required to so relet the Premises, or any part or parts thereof.

(b) Landlord may, pursuant to any prior notice required by law, and without terminating this Lease, peaceably or pursuant to appropriate legal proceedings, re-enter, retake and resume possession of the Premises for the account of Tenant, make such alterations of and repairs to the Premises as may be reasonably necessary in order to relet the same or any part or parts thereof and relet or attempt to relet the Premises or any part or parts thereof for such term or terms (which may be for a term or terms extending beyond the Term of this Lease), at such rents and upon such other terms and provisions as Landlord, in its sole, but reasonable, discretion, may deem advisable. Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages. If Landlord relets or attempts to relet the Premises, Landlord shall at its sole discretion determine the terms and provisions of any new lease or sublease and whether or not a particular proposed new tenant or sublessee is acceptable to Landlord. Upon any such reletting, all rents received by the Landlord from such reletting shall be applied, (i) first, to the payment of all costs and expenses of recovering possession of the Premises, (ii) second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting, including brokerage fees,

attorneys’ fees and the cost of any alterations and repairs reasonably required for such reletting; (iii) third, to the payment of any indebtedness, other than Rent, due hereunder from Tenant to the Landlord, (iv) fourth, to the payment of all Rent and other sums due and unpaid hereunder, and (v) fifth, the residue, if any, shall be held by the Landlord and applied in payment of future Rents as the same may become due and payable hereunder. If the rents received from such reletting during any period shall be less than that required to be paid during that period by the Tenant hereunder, Tenant shall promptly pay any such deficiency to the Landlord and failing the prompt payment thereof by Tenant to Landlord, Landlord shall immediately be entitled to institute legal proceedings for the recovery and collection of the same. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid at the time each payment of rent shall otherwise become due under this Lease, or, at the option of Landlord, at the end of the Term of this Lease. Landlord shall, in addition, be immediately entitled to xxx for and otherwise recover from Tenant any other damages occasioned by or resulting from any abandonment of the Premises or other breach of or default under this Lease other than a default in the payment of rent. No such re-entry, retaking or resumption of possession of the Premises by the Landlord for the account of Tenant shall be construed as an election on the part of Landlord to terminate this Lease unless a written notice of such intention shall be given to the Tenant or unless the termination of this Lease be decreed by a court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding any such re-entry and reletting or attempted reletting of the Premises or any part or parts thereof for the account of Tenant without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter, upon written notice to Tenant, elect to terminate this Lease or pursue any other remedy available to Landlord for Tenant’s previous breach of or default under this Lease.

(c) Landlord may, without re-entering, retaking or resuming possession of the Premises, xxx for all Rent and all other sums, charges, payments, costs and expenses due from Tenant to Landlord hereunder either: (i) as they become due under this Lease, taking into account that Tenant’s right and option to pay the Rent hereunder on a monthly basis in any particular Lease Year is conditioned upon the absence of a default on Tenant’s part in the performance of its obligations under this Lease, or (ii) at Landlord’s option, accelerate the maturity and due date of the whole or any part of the Rent for the entire then-remaining unexpired balance of the Term of this Lease (the “Accelerated Rent Amount”), as well as all other sums, charges, payments, costs and expenses required to be paid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder, including, without limitation, damages for breach or default of Tenant’s obligations hereunder in existence at the time of such acceleration, such that all sums due and payable under this Lease shall, following such acceleration, be treated as being and, in fact, be due and payable in advance as of the date of such acceleration. Landlord may then proceed to recover and collect the Present Value, as defined herein, of the Accelerated Rent Amount, and interest on said amount and other sums so sued for from Tenant by distress, levy, execution or otherwise. As used herein, “Present Value” shall mean Accelerated Rent Amount discounted at a discount rate equal to the yield on the ten (10) year U.S. Treasury Note.

(d) In addition to the remedies hereinabove specified and enumerated, Landlord shall have and may exercise the right to invoke any other remedies allowed at law or in equity as if the remedies of re-entry, unlawful detainer proceedings and other remedies were not herein provided. Accordingly, the mention in this Lease of any particular remedy shall not preclude Landlord from having or exercising any other remedy at law or in equity. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as precluding the Landlord from having or exercising such lawful remedies as may be and become necessary in order to preserve the Landlord’s right or the interest of the Landlord in the Premises and in this Lease, even before the expiration of any notice periods provided for in this Lease, if under the particular circumstances then existing the allowance of such notice periods will prejudice or will endanger the rights and estate of the Landlord in this Lease and in the Premises.

18.3 Landlord May Cure Tenant Defaults. If Tenant shall default in the performance of any term, provisions, covenant or condition on its part to be performed hereunder, Landlord may, on no less than ten (10) days written notice (other than in the event of an emergency) after notice to Tenant and expiration of the applicable cure period (or without notice or shorter notice, as reasonable under the circumstances if, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, an emergency exists, but in any event with prior oral notice vie telephone) perform the same for the account and at the expense of Tenant. If, at any time and by reason of such default, Landlord is compelled to pay, or elects to pay, any sum of money or do any act which will require the payment of any sum of money, or is compelled to incur any expense in the enforcement of its rights hereunder or otherwise, such sum or sums, together with interest thereon at the highest rate allowed under the laws of the State where the Premises is located, shall be deemed past due rent subject to Section 3.4 hereof and shall be repaid to Landlord by Tenant promptly when billed therefor, and Landlord shall have all the same rights and remedies in respect thereof as Landlord has in respect of the rents herein reserved.

18.4 Rights Cumulative. The rights and remedies provided and available to Landlord in this Lease are distinct, separate and cumulative remedies, and no one of them, whether or not exercised by Landlord, shall be deemed to be in exclusion of any other.

ARTICLE XX.

MISCELLANEOUS

20.1 “Net” Lease. It is understood that this is an absolute net lease. The Base Rent and all other sums payable by Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall be absolutely net to Landlord. All costs, operating expenses, and obligations imposed upon the Premises or incurred in connection with its use, occupancy, care, maintenance, operation and control (including, but not limited to, all costs of replacements, maintenance and repairs (capital and ordinary, structural and non-structural, foreseen and unforeseen, ordinary and extraordinary) of the structure, roof, parking lot, utilities, taxes, insurance and all other payments required in connection with the Premises during the Term of this Lease) shall be paid by Tenant in addition to all items of Base Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease without notice or demand and without setoff, counterclaim, abatement, deduction, etc. Additionally, Tenant shall be responsible for compliance with any and all legal requirements and shall pay any and all current and future costs relative thereto.

20.2 Estoppel Certificates. Tenant shall from time to time, within twenty (20) days after request by Landlord and without charge, give a Tenant Estoppel Certificate in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C and containing such other matters as may be reasonably requested by Landlord to any person, firm or corporation specified by Landlord. Landlord shall provide a commercially reasonable estoppel certificate to Tenant’s lender in connection with a proposed financing or a proposed assignee permitted pursuant to the provisions of this Lease.

20.3 Brokerage. Landlord and Tenant hereby represent and warrant to each other that they have not engaged, employed or utilized the services of any business or real estate brokers, salesmen, agents or finders in the initiation, negotiation or consummation of the business and real estate transaction reflected in this Lease. On the basis of such representation and warranty, each party shall and hereby agrees to indemnify and save and hold the other party harmless from and against the payment of any commissions or fees to or claims for commissions or fees by any real estate or business broker, salesman, agent or finder resulting from or arising out of any actions taken or agreements made by them with respect to the business and real estate transaction reflected in this Lease.

20.4 No Partnership or Joint Venture. Landlord shall not, by virtue of this Lease, in any way or for any purpose, be deemed to be a partner of Tenant in the conduct of Tenant’s business upon, within or from the Premises or otherwise, or a joint venturer or a member of a joint enterprise with Tenant.

20.5 Entire Agreement. This Lease contains the entire agreement between the parties and, except as otherwise provided herein, can only be changed, modified, amended or terminated by an instrument in writing executed by the parties. It is mutually acknowledged and agreed by Landlord and Tenant that there are no verbal agreements, representations, warranties or other understandings affecting the same; and that Tenant hereby waives, as a material part of the consideration hereof, all claims against Landlord for rescission, damages or any other form of relief by reason of any alleged covenant, warranty, representation, agreement or understanding not contained in this Lease. This Lease shall not be changed, amended or modified except by a written instrument executed by Landlord and Tenant.

20.6 Waiver. No release, discharge or waiver of any provision hereof shall be enforceable against or binding upon Landlord or Tenant unless in writing and executed by Landlord or Tenant, as the case may be. Neither the failure of Landlord or Tenant to insist upon a strict performance of any of the terms, provisions, covenants, agreements and conditions hereof, nor the acceptance of any Rent by Landlord with knowledge of a breach of this Lease by Tenant in the performance of its obligations hereunder, shall be deemed a waiver of any rights or remedies that Landlord or Tenant may have or a waiver of any subsequent breach or default in any of such terms, provisions, covenants, agreements and conditions.

20.7 Time. Time is of the essence in every particular of this Lease, including, without limitation, obligations for the payment of money.

20.8 Costs and Attorneys’ Fees. If either party shall bring an action to recover any sum due hereunder, or for any breach hereunder, and shall obtain a judgment or decree in its favor, the court may award to such prevailing party its reasonable costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, specifically including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with any appeals (whether or not taxable as such by law). Landlord shall also be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in any bankruptcy action filed by or against Tenant, including, without limitation, those incurred in seeking relief from the automatic stay, in dealing with the assumption or rejection of this Lease, in any adversary proceeding, and in the preparation and filing of any proof of claim. Tenant shall also be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in any bankruptcy action filed by or against Landlord, including, without limitation, those incurred in seeking relief from the automatic stay, in dealing with the assumption or rejection of this Lease, in any adversary proceeding, and in the preparation and filing of any proof of claim.

20.9 Captions and Headings. The captions and headings in this Lease have been inserted herein only as a matter of convenience and for reference and in no way define, limit or describe the scope or intent of, or otherwise affect, the provisions of this Lease.

20.10 Severability. If any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to be invalid, it shall be considered deleted therefrom and shall not invalidate the remaining provisions of this Lease.

20.11 Successors and Assigns. The agreements, terms, provisions, covenants and conditions contained in this Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Landlord and Tenant and, to the extent permitted herein, their respective successors and assigns.

20.12 Applicable Law. This Lease shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State in which the Premises are located.

20.13 Waiver of Jury Trial. TENANT AND LANDLORD HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT EITHER OF THEM OR THEIR HEIRS, PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVES, SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE OR ANY AGREEMENT CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONJUNCTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY. IN THE EVENT LANDLORD COMMENCES ANY PROCEEDINGS FOR NONPAYMENT OF RENT, TENANT SHALL NOT INTERPOSE ANY COUNTERCLAIM OF WHATEVER NATURE OR DESCRIPTION IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING, UNLESS THE FAILURE TO RAISE THE SAME WOULD CONSTITUTE A WAIVER THEREOF. THIS SHALL NOT, HOWEVER, BE CONSTRUED AS A WAIVER OF TENANT’S RIGHT TO ASSERT SUCH CLAIMS IN ANY SEPARATE ACTION BROUGHT BY TENANT. THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO LANDLORD’S ACCEPTING THIS LEASE.

20.14 Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in counterparts by the parties hereto and each shall be considered an original, but all such counterparts shall be construed together and constitute one Lease between the parties hereto.

20.15 Mortgagee Protection. Tenant shall give any mortgagees of the Premises by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or nationally recognized overnight delivery service, a copy of any notice of default sent to Landlord by Tenant, provided that prior to such notice Tenant has been notified, in writing (by way of Notice of Assignment of Rents and Leases, or otherwise), of the addresses of such mortgagees which has been provided in writing to Tenant. If Landlord shall have failed to cure such default within the time provided for in this Lease, then the mortgagees shall have an additional thirty (30) days within which to cure such default or, if such default cannot be cured within that time, then such additional time as may be necessary if, within such thirty (30) days, any mortgagee has commenced and is diligently pursuing the remedies necessary to cure such default (including, but not limited to, commencement of foreclosure proceedings, if necessary to effect such cure), in which event this Lease shall not be terminated by Tenant while such remedies are being so diligently pursued.

20.16 Guaranty. (a) On or before the Commencement Date, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord, as security for the payment of the Rent due hereunder and the full and faithful performance by Tenant of the covenants and conditions on the part of Tenant to be performed under this Lease, a cash security deposit (“Security Deposit”). The initial amount of the Security Deposit shall be the sum of One Hundred Fifty-Five Thousand Seven Hundred Ten and no/100 ($155,710.00) Dollars. In the event of any default by Tenant under this Lease, Landlord is hereby authorized to draw upon the Security Deposit to cure the default. In such case, Tenant shall immediately provide Landlord with additional cash in the amount equal to the aggregate of twelve (12) monthly payments of the then-current Basic Rent.

(b) The remainder of the Security Deposit shall be returned to Tenant after the expiration of the Term, provided that Tenant has fully and faithfully performed all such covenants and conditions of this Lease, is not in arrears in Rent and has vacated the Premises. In the event of a sale, pledge, transfer or encumbrance of the Premises subject to this Lease, Landlord shall have the right to transfer the Security Deposit to a purchaser or lender, as applicable, and Landlord shall be considered released by Tenant from all liability for the return of the Security Deposit. All costs incurred in connection with the transfer of the Security Deposit shall be paid by Tenant. It is agreed that this shall apply to every transfer or assignment made of the Security Deposit to the new landlord.

(c) In the event of the insolvency of Tenant or in the event of the entry of a judgment in bankruptcy in any court against Tenant which is not discharged within thirty (30) days after entry, or in the event a petition is filed by or against Tenant under any chapter of the bankruptcy or insolvency laws of any state or the United States of America, then and in such event Landlord may require Tenant to deposit additional security in such amount as may be necessary to adequately assure Tenant's performance of all of its obligations under this Lease, including all payments subsequently accruing. Failure of Tenant to deposit the additional security required by this section within ten (10) days after Landlord's written demand shall constitute a default by Tenant under this Lease.

20.17 Financial Statements. If Tenant and Guarantor are not public companies and in any event, upon Landlord's written request in connection with a sale or a financing or refinancing, Tenant (and Guarantor) shall promptly furnish Landlord, from time to time, detailed financial statements reflecting Tenant's (and Guarantor’s) current financial condition along with such information requested by a mortgagee, proposed mortgagee or purchaser.

20.18 Direct Payment of Rent. Tenant and Landlord acknowledge and agree that Landlord may irrevocably instruct Tenant to make all rent and other payments due and to become due to Landlord under the Lease directly to Landlord’s mortgagee, which direction Tenant agrees to follow until further written notice from such mortgagee, and Landlord hereby expressly agrees that (a) Landlord shall have no right or claim against Tenant for or by reason of any payments of rent or other sums due under the Lease made to such mortgagee, and (b) any and all payments made by Tenant to such mortgagee shall constitute full and complete performance of such obligations of Tenant to Landlord under the Lease to the extent of such payments.

20.19 Merger. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, if both Landlord's and Tenant's interests or estates in the Premises become vested in the same owner while the Premises is subject to a mortgage, the Lease shall nevertheless not be destroyed by the application of the doctrine of merger except upon the express written consent of the mortgagee.

20.20 Guaranty. Upon execution of this Lease by Tenant, Air Industries Group, a Nevada corporation (“Guarantor”) shall execute and deliver to Landlord the unconditional and irrevocable Guaranty in the form of Exhibit "D" attached hereto.

20.21 Landlord’s Waiver. Landlord agrees, as long as Tenant is not in default, to execute a commercially reasonable form of Landlord’s Waiver in favor of an independent third party which provides financing to Tenant which is secured by Tenant’s personal property in the Premises.

20.22 Short Form Lease. Upon request of either Landlord or Tenant each, the other shall execute and record, in recorable form, a short form of this Lease.

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Loan is evidenced by a Permanent Mortgage Note from the ________________ (“Borrower”) to the Bank dated _____________, 201___ in the original principal amount of $_______________ (the “Note”); and

WHEREAS, AIG executed a Guaranty in favor of Borrower, whereby AIR guaranteed the obligations of ARG pursuant to the Lease; and

WHEREAS, as a condition of the Bank making the Loan with Borrower, Bank requires that Indemnitor, jointly, severally and unconditionally indemnify and hold Bank harmless from and against any and all environmental problems, concerns, and costs at or affecting the Property to the extent set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of one ($1.00) Dollar and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Indemnitor hereby represents, warrants, covenants, and agrees to the best of its actual knowledge and belief, except as evidenced in any environmental site assessments or other reports provided to Lender pertaining to the Property:

1. Indemnitor has not undertaken nor shall they undertake, any activity causing: (i) the Property to become a hazardous waste treatment, storage or disposal facility within the meaning of, or otherwise being the Property within the ambit of, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, 42 U.S.C. Section 6901 et. seq., as amended (“RCRA”), or any similar federal, state or local laws or regulations, (ii) a release or threatened release of hazardous waste from the Property within the ambit of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et. seq., as amended (“CERCLA”) or the Toxic Substances Control Act, 15 U.S.C. Section 2601 et. seq., as amended (“TSCA”), or any similar federal, state or local laws and regulations, or (iii) the discharge of pollutants or effluents into any water source or system, or the discharge into the air of any emissions, which would require a permit under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, 33 U.S.C. Section 1251 et. seq., as amended (“FWPCA”), or the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 7401, et. seq., as amended (“CAA”) respectively, or any similar federal, state or local laws or regulations.

2. No oil, petroleum, chemical liquids, solid, liquid, gaseous products, toxic substances, or any wastes, solid waste, hazardous waste or hazardous substance of any kind, are currently stored or used on the Property in violation of Environmental Laws and have not been stored or used on the Property in the past in violation of Environmental Laws, and no part of the Property is or has been used as a dump or landfill of any kind. As used herein, the terms “wastes”, “solid waste”, “hazardous waste”, and “hazardous substance” shall have the meanings as such terms are defined in CERCLA, RCRA and Title 22a of the Connecticut General Statutes, as amended, and any regulations now or hereafter promulgated pursuant thereto, and shall also include any sewage or mixture of sewage or other waste material that passes through a sewer system to a treatment facility, any industrial waste-water discharges subject to regulation under FWPCA, and any source material, special nuclear material or byproduct material as defined by the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, 42 U.S.C. Section 3011 et. seq., as amended.

3. Indemnitor has not, nor to the best of their knowledge has any other party, caused or suffered to occur, and Indemnitor shall not hereafter cause or suffer to occur, a discharge, spillage, uncontrolled loss, seepage or filtration of oil or petroleum or chemical liquids or solid, liquid or gaseous products or hazardous waste (a “spill”), as those terms are used in Chapter 446k of the Connecticut General Statutes, as amended (the “Environmental Act”), at, upon under, within or emanating from the Property or any contiguous real estate which has been included in the property description of the Property within the preceding three years, and neither the Indemnitor nor any other party, is or shall be involved in operations at the Property, nor are there or shall there be any substances or conditions at, upon, under or within the Property, which could support a claim or cause of action or lead to the imposition on the Borrower or any other owner of the Property of liability or the creation of a lien on the Property, under RCRA, CERCLA, TSCA, FWPCA, CAA, the Environmental Act, or any other federal, state, or local environmental laws, regulations or ordinances (collectively, the “Environmental Law”).

4. The Property has not been used for any purpose which would presently constitute a violation of any federal or state environmental laws or regulations, including but not limited to laws controlling hazardous waste or matter as provided in Title 42 USC, Section 9601 et seq., as amended, and CGS Section 22a-1 et seq.

I-2

5. There are no underground storage tanks and facilities on the Property.

6. Indemnitor has received all required federal, state, and local licenses, certificates or permits relating to the Property and Indemnitor’s facilities, businesses, property, and equipment are in compliance with such in all material respects.

(the “Transfer Act”), as amended; no declaration to the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (“DEP”) is required under the Transfer Act; and the DEP has made no expenditures of any kind which could result in assertion of a lien on the Property.

8. Indemnitor has complied and shall comply strictly and in all respects with the requirements of the Environmental Laws and shall notify the Bank promptly in the event Indemnitor gains knowledge of any spill upon the Property, and shall promptly forward to the Bank copies of all orders, notices, reports, permits, applications and other communications in connection with any such spill or any other matters relating to the Environmental Laws as they may affect the Property. There have been no outstanding citations, notices or orders of noncompliance or violation issued to the Indemnitor or relating to their business, assets or property under the Environmental Laws with respect to the Property or any contiguous real estate which has been included in the property description of the Property within the preceding three years.

Indemnitor shall not store or use on the Property any oil, petroleum, chemical liquids, solid, liquid, gaseous products, toxic substances, or any wastes, solid waste, hazardous waste or hazardous substance of any kind (collectively, “Hazardous Substances”), except in compliance with Environmental Laws.

10. Upon the written request of Bank for good cause, and from time to time, Indemnitor shall, at their expense, execute such further instruments (provided that no such instruments expand the liability of Indemnitor hereunder) and deliver such further documents, including without limitation, environmental audit reports, environmental site assessment reports, and updates of such reports, from a qualified environmental engineer satisfactory to Bank, all in scope, form and content satisfactory to Bank.

11. As further inducement to Bank to make the Loan, Indemnitor shall at all times indemnify and hold harmless Bank, and its successors and assigns forever, whether as holder of a Note, as secured party in possession, or as successor in interest to Bank as lessee of the Property, from and against all loss, liability, damage and expense, including without limitation, attorneys’ and other professional fees, suffered or incurred by Bank, and its successors and assigns, in connection with, but not limited to: (i) the Environmental Laws, including without limitation, the assertion of any lien thereunder, and (ii) any spill affecting the Property whether or not the same originates or emanates from the Property or any such contiguous real estate, including, without limitation, any loss of value of the Property as a result of each such spill.

I-3

12. In the event of any spill affecting the Property, whether or not the same originates or emanates from the Property or any contiguous real estate which has been included in the Property description of the Property within the preceding three years, and/or the failure to comply with any of the Environmental Laws, Indemnitor shall take, at its sole expense, such action as is necessary to remedy said spill or cure said failure of compliance, to Bank’s reasonable satisfaction.

13. Failure to comply with any of the terms and provisions of this Certificate and Agreement after thirty (30) days written notice shall constitute an Event of Default under the Note, whereupon all outstanding principal, accrued interest and other sums due under the Loan, shall become immediately due and payable at Bank’s option.

14. This Certificate and Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Connecticut, may not be amended except in writing, and shall be binding upon Indemnitor and its heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Bank, and its successors and assigns.

17. Notwithstanding any term hereof to the contrary, all remediation obligations hereunder are only to the extent of requirements set forth in Environmental Laws, and are further limited by the applicability of such Environmental Laws to the use of the Property (with such use being determined as of the date of this Agreement).

18.
