Nothing in this Section 4.4 shall prohibit any party from making disclosure which its counsel deems reasonably necessary or advisable in order to satisfy such party’s disclosure obligations required by law. Sellers acknowledge that Buyer may issue a press release promptly upon the execution of this Agreement in a form consented to in writing by Sellers, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and Sellers agree that Buyer shall file its 8-K, 10-Q, 10-K and like filing without prior notice to or consent of Sellers.

4.2 Tax Matters.

(a) Transfer Taxes. Any transfer taxes incurred by Sellers in connection with the sale of the membership interests of RedEarth to the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be borne by Sellers. Sellers shall prepare and file, at their own expense, all necessary tax returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer taxes.

(b) Tax Returns.



	(i)	Sellers shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) and RedEarth shall timely file for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date (a “Pre-Effective Period”) all Tax Returns required to be filed after the Effective Date by or on behalf of RedEarth (the “Pre-Effective Period Tax Returns”). The preparation of such Tax Returns and the positions taken thereon shall be consistent in all respects with RedEarth’s past tax accounting principles and practices.



	(ii)	The Company shall prepare and timely file (or cause to be prepared and timely filed) for all taxable periods beginning before and ending after the close of the Effective Date (a “Straddle Period”), all Tax Returns required to be filed after the Effective Date by RedEarth. For purposes of this Agreement, the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Effective Date shall be referred to as the “Pre-Effective Straddle Period” and the portion of the Straddle Period beginning after the Effective Date shall be referred to as the “Post-Effective Straddle Period”. Any such Taxes for a Straddle Period with respect to RedEarth shall be apportioned to the Pre-Effective Straddle Period based on the actual operations of RedEarth during the portion of such period ending on and including the Effective Date, determined as though RedEarth’s books closed at the close of the Effective Date. The cost and expenses of preparing any Tax Return for a Straddle Period shall be borne by the Company.



	(iii)	All Tax Returns referred to in Sections 4.2(b)(i) shall be subject to review and approval by the Company, and all Tax Returns referred to in Section 4.2(b)(ii) which affect the liability of Sellers for Taxes pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise shall be subject to review and approval by Sellers, in each case prior to filing, and such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by either such party. The party charged with responsibility to prepare a Tax Return subject to review (the “Preparing Party”) shall present such Tax Return to the other party (the “Reviewing Party”) no less than thirty (30) days prior to the due date (including extensions) for filing the Tax Return. The parties shall cooperate with one another by making available for review all related work papers and analyses utilized in preparing the Tax Return and all related books, records and personnel for this purpose without cost. Within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Tax Return, the Reviewing Party shall communicate to the Preparing Party as to whether it concurs with the Tax Return or, if not, stating its exceptions thereto, together with the reasons and supporting information relating to such exceptions. If there are no such exceptions or such exceptions are resolved by the parties, then such resolution shall be the final determination. If such exceptions cannot be resolved by the parties within ten (10) business days after delivery of the list of exceptions, the dispute shall be submitted to an independent tax consultant who shall make a final determination in accordance with the terms of this Agreement within fifteen (15) days after submission to such independent tax consultant. The independent tax consultant shall be one of the “Big Four” public accounting firms or a law firm with a nationally recognized tax practice with no material relationship to the parties or their affiliates, and such independent tax consultant shall be chosen by agreement of the parties, or if they are unable to agree, chosen by lot from an equal number of nominees submitted by each party. The fees and expenses of the independent tax consultant shall be allocated by it in inverse proportion to the adjustment granted the Reviewing Party. For example, if such tax consultant grants a portion of the exceptions proposed by the Reviewing Party that results in an adjustment to the amount of Taxes owed that is 25% of the total adjustment to the amount of Taxes owed that would have occurred had all of the Reviewing Party’s proposed exceptions been granted, it shall assess the Reviewing Party with 75% of its fees and expenses. The independent tax consultant’s decision shall be final and binding upon, and non-appealable by, the parties.

(c) Tax Payments. Sellers shall pay all Taxes with respect to all Tax Returns described in Section 4.2(b)(i) attributable to Pre-Effective Periods or apportioned to Pre-Effective Straddle Periods pursuant to Section 4.2(b)(ii), to the extent not accrued for on the Financial Statements, ten (10) days prior to the respective due dates (excluding extensions or waivers thereof) for such Taxes or, if later, when the respective Tax Returns reporting such Taxes are filed, other than any Taxes payable (the “Excluded Taxes”) as the result of any (i) events occurring on the Effective Date, outside of the ordinary course of business, except for events occurring as a condition of closing this transaction, (ii) any increase in Taxes resulting from RedEarth amending any Pre-Effective Tax Returns

without the prior written permission of Sellers, and (iii) Taxes which were previously paid through estimated Tax payments. Buyer shall pay all taxes with respect to Tax Returns described in Section 4.4(b) attributable to Post-Effective Periods or not apportioned to Pre-Effective Straddle Periods pursuant to Section 4.2(b)(ii).

(d) Tax Characterization. Any payments made pursuant to (i) this Section 4.2, (ii) the indemnity provisions of Article 7, or (iii) the purchase price adjustment provisions of this Agreement, shall be treated by each of the parties hereto as an adjustment to the Purchase Price paid by the Company for the Membership Interests for all Tax and financial accounting purposes. The parties hereto agree to account for the transactions contemplated herein in a manner consistent with all the provisions of this Agreement when filing their respective Tax Returns and the Tax Returns of RedEarth.

(e) Post-Closing Audits and Other Proceedings.



	(i)	Sellers, on the one hand, and Company on the other hand, each agree, at its own expense (except to the extent such expense, incurred to third parties, is subject to indemnification pursuant to Article 7), to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance (including access to books and records) relating to RedEarth as is reasonably necessary or is reasonably requested for the preparation of any return for Taxes, any claim for refund or any audit, and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any proposed adjustment.



	(ii)	Sellers on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, each agree to give prompt notice to each other of any written inquiry by a Tax authority, scheduling of an examination or proposed adjustment with respect to Taxes for any period prior to the Closing Date or after the Closing Date. In addition to the foregoing, Buyer and Sellers shall cooperate with each other in the conduct of any Tax audit or other Tax proceedings involving RedEarth for such periods and each may participate at its own expense; provided, however, that Sellers shall have the right to control the conduct of any such audits or proceedings to the extent such audits or proceedings relate to a proposed adjustment that could adversely affect the liability of Sellers for Taxes pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. The Company also may, at its own expense, be present in any such audit or proceeding and, if Sellers do not assume the defense of any such audit or proceeding, the Company may defend the same in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, settling such audit or proceeding after giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Sellers setting forth the terms and conditions of settlement, provided that Sellers have not objected in writing within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such notice and assumed control of the audit. In the event that a potential adjustment is present in an audit or proceeding (otherwise controlled by Sellers) for which the Company would be liable and not entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Company shall have the right, at its expense, to control the audit or proceeding with respect to such proposed adjustment. With respect to a proposed adjustment which could adversely affect the liability of Sellers for Taxes pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, on the one hand, and the liability of the Company for Taxes pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, on the other hand, (i) Sellers and the Company each may participate in the audit or proceeding, and (ii) any issues with respect to the proposed adjustment or otherwise pertaining to the audit or proceeding shall be decided jointly by Sellers and the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the parties to this Agreement shall endeavor to agree on a joint representative or representatives in any proceeding in which each is entitled to and desires to be represented.

4.3 Title Search; Discharge of Liens. Sellers have (i) used commercially reasonable efforts to ascertain all Liens, if any, to which RedEarth’s owned Rights and Assets is subject, (ii) notified Buyer in writing of the nature and extent thereof, and (iii) discharged all such Liens.

4.5 Transfer Taxes. Sellers shall pay (a) all transfer and documentary taxes and fees imposed, if any, with respect to instruments of conveyance in the transaction contemplated hereby and (b) all sales, excise and other transfer or similar taxes on the transfer of the shares contemplated hereunder, if any. Buyer and Sellers shall cooperate with one another in promptly making any filings in connection with any such taxes. Buyer or Seller, as the

case may be, shall execute and deliver to each other, at Closing any certificates or other documents as the other may reasonably request to perfect any exemption from any such transfer, documentary sales, or excise tax.

The failure by an Indemnified Party so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that it has been prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice in a timely manner or failure to provide such information or documentation, as the case may be.

(c) Third Party Claims. In the event that an Indemnifying Party may be required to indemnify an Indemnified Party against any claim or legal action made or brought by a third party, indemnification shall be provided in accordance with the following procedures:

(i) upon receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any action by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) against it, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim is to be made against an Indemnifying Party under this Article 7, give notice to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of such Third Party Claim as soon

as practicable, and in no event later than ten days after the Indemnified Party shall have been served with process, but the failure so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that its defense of such Third Party Claim has been prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice in a timely manner;

(ii) the Indemnifying Party will be entitled, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim and, to the extent that the Indemnifying Party wishes, to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. Following notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not, as long as the Indemnifying Party conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Article 7 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Third Party Claim, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim, unless (X) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing, or (Y) the Indemnifying Party has been advised by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party;

(iii) if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, (A) it will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in the Third Party Claim are within the scope of and subject to indemnification under this Article 7 and (B) no compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s consent unless (I) there is no finding or admission of any violation of laws, statutes, regulations or any violation of the rights of any Person, and (II) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party;

(iv) in the event that the Indemnifying Party timely defends, contests or otherwise protects the Indemnified Party against a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall nevertheless have the right to, but shall not be obligated to, participate at its own expense in the defense of the Third Party Claim with counsel of its own choosing; and

(v) in the event the Indemnifying Party fails to defend, contest or otherwise protect against any Third Party Claim in a timely matter, the Indemnified Party may, but shall not be obligated to, defend, contest or otherwise protect against the same, and make any compromise or settlement thereof and shall be entitled to recover the entire cost thereof from the Indemnifying Party, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, disbursements and all amounts paid as a result of such claim or suit or the compromise or settlement thereof; provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party subsequently undertakes the defense of such matter, the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to recover from the Indemnifying Party its costs thereafter incurred in the defense thereof other than the reasonable cost of investigation undertaken by the Indemnified Party and reasonable cost of providing assistance.

Article Two

LEASE TERM

Section 2.01

Lease of Premises for Lease Term. Landlord hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord the Premises, as described in Section 1.04 above. The term of this Lease (the “Lease Term”) shall be as set forth in Section 1.05(a) above, shall commence on the date (the “Lease Commencement Date”) set forth in Section 1.05(b) above, and shall terminate on the date (the “Lease Expiration Date”) set forth in Section 1.05(c) above, unless sooner terminated or extended as expressly provided in this Lease. The terms and provisions of this Lease shall be effective as of the date of this Lease.

Section 2.02

Delay in Commencement. If delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant is delayed, and if Landlord and Tenant mutually agree, each shall, upon such delivery, execute an amendment to this Lease setting forth the actual Lease Commencement Date and Lease Expiration Date, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit “C” to this Lease, which Tenant shall execute and return to Landlord within five (5) days after receipt from Landlord. The failure of Tenant to take possession of or to occupy the Premises upon delivery by Landlord shall not serve to relieve Tenant of any obligations arising on the Lease Commencement Date, and shall not delay the payment of Rent then due by Tenant.

Section 2.03

Early Access. Tenant shall have the right of early access to the Premises, subject to (a) full execution of this Lease, (b) Tenant’s receipt of all necessary governmental permits, approvals, licenses, or consents or authorizations (with copies of same to be delivered to Landlord), and (c) all of the terms and conditions of this Lease (including, but not limited to, the insurance provisions of Section 4.04 below), with the exception of the payment of Base Rent and Additional Rent; provided, however, that during such period of early access, Tenant shall be responsible for payment of the cost of all utilities attributable to Tenant's use of the Premises. Such early access shall be for the sole purpose of preparing the Premises for Tenant’s use, including the installation of equipment and storage of Tenant’s products. During such period, Tenant shall assume all risk of loss to Tenant’s equipment, products, and other personal property. Notwithstanding the above, if Tenant occupies the Premises and commences business operations thereon prior to the Lease Commencement Date, Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Lease, including those governing the payment of Additional Rent. Tenant’s early access to or occupancy of the Premises shall not advance the Lease Expiration Date.

Section 2.04

Holding Over. Tenant agrees that if the Premises is not surrendered to Landlord on or before the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, without the express or implied consent of Landlord, such tenancy shall be a tenancy at sufferance only, and shall not constitute a renewal hereof or an extension for any further term, and in such case Base Rent shall be payable at a monthly rate equal to one hundred twenty-five percent 125% the Base Rent applicable immediately before the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term. Such tenancy at sufferance shall be subject to every other term, covenant and agreement contained herein. Nothing in this Lease, including this Section 2.04, shall be construed as consent by Landlord to Tenant retaining possession of the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term and no acceptance by Landlord of payments from Tenant after the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term shall be deemed to be other than on account of the amount to be paid by Tenant in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.04, which provisions shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term. If Tenant fails to surrender the Premises upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, in addition to any other liabilities to Landlord accruing therefrom, Tenant shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord (and Landlord’s members, managers, partners, and shareholders, as applicable, and the affiliates, employees, agents, and contractors of Landlord and its members, managers, partners, and shareholders, as applicable) from all losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) resulting from such failure, including, without limiting the generality

of the foregoing, any claims made by any succeeding tenant founded upon such failure to surrender, and any lost profits to Landlord resulting therefrom.

Section 2.05

Option to Extend Lease Term.

(a)

Grant of Option. Landlord hereby grants to Tenant two (2) options (each an “Option”) to extend the Lease Term for an additional term of five (5) years each (an “Extension”), on the same terms and conditions as set forth in this Lease with a three percent (3%) annual increase in the Base Rent. The Option shall be exercised only by written notice delivered to Landlord not more than three hundred sixty (360) days and not less than ninety (90) days before the expiration of the then current Lease Term. If Tenant fails to deliver Landlord written notice of the exercise of the Option within the prescribed time period, the Option shall lapse, and there shall be no further right to extend the Lease Term. The Option shall be exercisable by Tenant on the express conditions that (a) at the time of the exercise, Tenant shall not be in default under any of the provisions of this Lease. Following Tenant’s timely and valid exercise of an Option, Landlord shall prepare and Tenant shall execute and deliver to Landlord an amendment to this Lease confirming the term of the Extension and the amount of Base Rent payable by Tenant during the Extension.

(b)

Intentionally Omitted.

(c)

Intentionally Omitted.

(d)

Time of Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to Tenant’s exercise of an Option granted in this Section 2.05.

(e)

Intentionally Omitted.

Article Three

BASE RENT

Section 3.01

Time and Manner of Payment. Base Rent for Lease Month 1 through Lease Month 12 of the initial Lease Term shall be abated hereunder. On the first day of Lease Month 13 of the initial Lease Term, Tenant shall pay Landlord monthly Base Rent in the amount stated in Section 1.09(a) above for Lease Month 13. On the first day of the next Lease Month for which Base Rent is payable and each Lease Month thereafter, Tenant shall pay Landlord monthly Base Rent in the amount stated in Section 1.09(a) above, in advance. The Base Rent shall be payable at Landlord’s address or at such other place as Landlord may designate in writing. The term “Lease Month” shall mean each consecutive calendar month during the Lease Term, including any extensions thereto, with the first Lease Month commencing on the Lease Commencement Date if the Lease Commencement Date is the first day of a calendar month; otherwise the first Lease Month shall commence on the Lease Commencement Date and shall end on the last day of that month. If the Lease Commencement Date is a day other than the first day of a calendar month, then Lease Month 1 shall commence on the Lease Commencement Date and shall end on the last day of that month.

Section 3.02

Security Deposit; Increases.

(a)

No later than September 1, 2017, Tenant shall deposit with Landlord a cash Security Deposit in the amount set forth in Section 1.07 above. Landlord may apply all or part of the Security Deposit to any unpaid rent due from Tenant. If Landlord uses any part of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall restore the Security Deposit to its full amount within ten (10) days after Landlord’s written request. No interest shall be paid on the Security Deposit. Landlord shall be required to keep the Security Deposit separate from its other accounts. Landlord shall refund the portion of the Security Deposit to which Tenant is entitled (if any) within sixty (60) days following the date that Tenant surrenders possession of the Premises to Landlord in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease.

Section 3.03

Application of Payments. Unless otherwise designated by Landlord in its sole discretion, all payments received by Landlord from Tenant shall be applied to the oldest payment obligation owed by Tenant to Landlord.

Section 3.04

Termination; Advance Payments. Upon termination of this Lease under Article Seven (Damage or Destruction) of this Lease, or under Article Eight (Condemnation) of this Lease, or any other termination not resulting from Tenant’s default, and after Tenant has vacated the Premises in the manner required by this Lease, Landlord shall promptly refund or credit to Tenant (or Tenant’s successor) the unused portion of the Security Deposit, any advance rent or other advance payments made by Tenant to Landlord, and any amounts paid for Real Property Taxes (defined below) and insurance which apply to any time periods after termination of this Lease.

Article Four

OTHER CHARGES PAYABLE BY TENANT

Section 4.01

Additional Rent. All charges payable by Tenant under this Lease other than Base Rent are called “Additional Rent.” All costs, expenses, and obligations of any kind relating to the Premises shall be paid by Tenant and Landlord shall be indemnified by Tenant against all such costs, expenses, and obligations. Unless this Lease provides otherwise, Tenant shall pay all Additional Rent on the first day of each Lease Month during the Lease Term. For the avoidance of any doubt, Tenant shall pay Additional Rent during the entire Lease Term, including any extensions thereto, without any abatement whatsoever. The term “rent” or “Rent” shall mean Base Rent and Additional Rent. Without limitation on other obligations of Tenant that shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, the obligation of Tenant to pay any accrued but unpaid Rent shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term. The failure of Landlord to timely furnish Tenant the amount of the Rent shall not preclude Landlord from enforcing its rights to collect such Rent.

Section 4.02

Property Taxes.

(a)

Real Property Taxes. Tenant shall pay all Real Property Taxes on the Premises (including any fees, taxes or assessments against, or as a result of, any tenant improvements installed on the Premises by or for the benefit of Tenant) during the Lease Term. Landlord will xxxx Tenant monthly in advance for one-twelfth (1/12) of the estimated amount of such Real Property Taxes for the current tax year and Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of such Real Property Taxes, as Additional Rent. Landlord will pay such Real Property Taxes on or before their due date. Any penalty caused by Tenant’s failure to timely make such payments shall also be Additional Rent owed by Tenant immediately upon demand.

(b)

Definition of “Real Property Taxes.” “Real Property Taxes” means: (i) all real property taxes and assessments of any kind or nature, including without limitation, any fee, license fee, license tax, business license fee, commercial rental tax, levy, charge, assessment, penalty, or tax imposed by any taxing authority against the Property; (ii) any tax on the Landlord’s right to receive, or the receipt of, Rent or income from the Property or against Landlord’s business of leasing the Property; (iii) any tax or charge for fire protection, streets, sidewalks, water reclamation, road maintenance, refuse, or other services provided to the Property by any governmental agency; (iv) any tax imposed upon this transaction or based upon a re-assessment of the Property due to a change of ownership, as defined by applicable law, or other transfer of all or part of Landlord’s interest in the Property; and (v) any charge or fee replacing any tax previously included within the definition of Real Property Tax. “Real Property Tax” does not, however, include Landlord’s federal or state income, franchise, inheritance, or estate taxes.

(c)

Intentionally Omitted.

(d)

Personal Property Taxes.

(i)

Tenant shall pay all taxes charged against trade fixtures, furnishings, equipment or any other personal property belonging to Tenant. Tenant shall diligently pursue the separate assessment of such personal property, so that it is taxed separately from the Premises.

(ii)

If any of Tenant’s personal property is taxed with the Premises, Tenant shall pay Landlord the taxes for the personal property within fifteen (15) days after Tenant receives a written statement from Landlord for such personal property taxes.

(e)

Use and Occupancy Taxes. Tenant shall also pay before any penalties or fines are assessed to the appropriate governmental authority any use and occupancy tax in connection with the Premises. In the event Landlord is required by law to collect such tax, Tenant shall pay such use and occupancy tax to Landlord as Additional Rent within ten (10) days of demand and Landlord shall remit any amounts so paid to Landlord to the appropriate governmental authority in a timely fashion.

Section 4.03

Utilities. Tenant shall pay, directly to the appropriate supplier, the cost of all natural gas, heat, light, power, sewer service, telephone, fiber optic, cable or other communications or data delivery services, water, refuse disposal and other utilities and services supplied to and/or consumed at the Premises. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that (1) this Lease is entirely separate and distinct from and independent of any and all agreements that Tenant may at any time enter into with any third party for the provision of utility services or any other services, and (2) Landlord has no obligation of any kind concerning the provision of any such services. Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to furnish, stoppage of, or interruption in furnishing any of the services or utilities described in this Section 4.03, when such failure is caused by accident, breakage, repairs, strikes, lockouts,

labor disputes, labor disturbances, governmental regulation, civil disturbances, terrorist acts, acts of war, moratorium or other governmental action, or any other cause beyond Landlord’s reasonable control, and, in such event, Tenant shall not be entitled to any damages nor shall any failure or interruption xxxxx or suspend Tenant’s obligation to pay rent as required under this Lease or constitute or be construed as a constructive or other eviction of Tenant. Further, in the event any governmental authority or public utility promulgates or revises any law, ordinance, rule or regulation, or issues mandatory controls or voluntary controls relating to the use or conservation of energy, water, gas, or electricity, the reduction of automobile or other emissions, or the provision of any other utility or service, Landlord may take any reasonably appropriate action to comply with such law, ordinance, rule, regulation, mandatory control or voluntary guideline without affecting Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Tenant recognizes that security services, if any, provided by Landlord shall be at Landlord’s sole expense at the Building and are for the protection of Landlord’s property and under no circumstances shall Landlord be responsible for, and Tenant waives any rights with respect to, providing security or other protection for Tenant or its employees, invitees or property in or about the Premises and Tenant shall not be responsible for the cost of any such services.

Section 4.04

Insurance Policies.

(a)

Liability Insurance. During the Lease Term, Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall maintain a policy of commercial general liability insurance (or its equivalent) insuring Tenant against liability for bodily injury, property damage (including loss of use of property) and personal injury arising out of the operation, use or occupancy of the Premises. Tenant shall name Landlord (and any affiliate, lender or property manager of Landlord designated by Landlord) as an additional insured under such policy, and Tenant shall provide Landlord with an appropriate “additional insured” endorsement to Tenant’s liability insurance policy not less than ten (10) business days before the early access to or occupancy of the Premises by Tenant or any other member of the Tenant Group (defined below). The initial amount of such insurance shall be not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) per occurrence. The amount and coverage of such insurance shall not limit Tenant’s liability nor relieve Tenant of any other obligation under this Lease. Tenant may satisfy its obligations under this Section through the use of a combination of primary and excess or umbrella coverage. Landlord may also obtain commercial general liability insurance at its sole cost and expense in an amount and with coverage determined by Landlord, insuring Landlord against liability arising out of ownership, operation, use or occupancy of the Premises. The policy obtained by Landlord shall not be contributory and shall not provide primary insurance.

(b)

Property and Rental Income Insurance. During the Lease Term, Landlord shall maintain policies of insurance at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (as Additional Rent) covering loss of or damage to the Premises and the Building improvements owned by Landlord in the full amount of their replacement cost, with such policies providing protection against loss or damage due to fire or other perils covered by the “Causes of Loss–Special Form” policy (or a similar policy containing equivalent coverage). Landlord, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense (as Additional Rent), shall have the right to obtain flood insurance. Landlord at its expense may acquire other forms of insurance. Landlord shall not obtain insurance for Tenant’s fixtures or equipment or building improvements installed by Tenant on the Premises. During the Lease Term, Landlord may also, at its sole cost and expense, maintain a rental income insurance policy, with loss payable to Landlord, in an amount equal to one year’s Base Rent, plus one year’s estimated recurring Additional Rent. Tenant shall not do or permit anything to be done which invalidates any such insurance policies.

(c)

Payment of Premiums. Tenant shall pay its premiums for the insurance policies described in Sections 4.04(a)-(b) above, and Landlord shall pay all premiums for non-primary commercial general liability or other insurance which Landlord elects to obtain as provided in Section 4.04(a)-(b) above. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.03 above, prior to the Lease Commencement Date, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord (a) either (i) a certificate of insurance (in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord) executed by an authorized officer or agent of the insurance company, certifying that the insurance that Tenant is required to maintain under this Section 4.04 is in full force and effect and containing such other information Landlord reasonably requires, or (ii) copies of the required policies of insurance or other satisfactory evidence (on which Landlord can reasonably rely) that the insurance Tenant is required to maintain under this Section 4.04 is in full force and effect, and (b) any endorsements to Tenant’s insurance policies required by this Section 4.04. At least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any insurance coverage Tenant is required to maintain under this Section 4.04, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a certificate of insurance (in form acceptable to Landlord) or other satisfactory evidence (on which Landlord can reasonably rely) verifying the timely renewal of such coverage.

(d)

General Insurance Provisions.

(i)

Any insurance that Tenant is required to maintain under this Lease shall include a provision (by endorsement, if necessary) that requires the insurance carrier to give Landlord and Landlord’s lender (if requested) not less than thirty (30) days’ written notice prior to any cancellation (whether by Tenant or the insurer) or modification of such coverage, including the cancellation (whether by Tenant or the insurer) or modification of any required endorsements.

(ii)

If Tenant fails to deliver to Landlord or Landlord’s lender (if requested) any certificate of insurance or endorsement required under this Lease within the prescribed time period or if any such policy is canceled or modified during the Lease Term without Landlord’s consent, Landlord may obtain such insurance for Landlord’s sole benefit (but is under no obligation to do so), in which case Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for the reasonable cost of such insurance within fifteen (15) days after receipt of a statement that indicates the cost of such insurance. If Tenant fails to carry the required insurance, such failure shall automatically be deemed to be a covenant by Tenant to self-insure such required coverage.

(iii)

Tenant shall maintain all insurance required under this Lease with companies duly authorized to issue insurance policies in the State in which the Premises is located and holding a Financial Strength Rating of “A” or better, and a Financial Size Category of “XII” or larger, based on the most recent published ratings of the A.M. Best Company. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge the insurance markets are rapidly changing and that insurance in the form and amounts described in this Section 4.04 may not be available in the future. If at any time during the Lease Term, Tenant is unable to obtain and maintain the insurance required under this Lease, Tenant shall nevertheless maintain insurance coverage which is (1) customary and commercially reasonable in the insurance industry for Tenant’s type of business, as that coverage may change from time to time, and (2) reasonably acceptable to Landlord. Landlord makes no representation as to the adequacy of such insurance to protect Landlord’s or Tenant’s interests. If Tenant believes that any such insurance coverage is inadequate, Tenant shall obtain any such additional property or liability insurance which Tenant deems necessary to protect Landlord and Tenant.

(iv)

Notwithstanding anything in this Lease to the contrary, Landlord and Tenant each hereby waives any and all rights of recovery against the other, or against the members, managers, officers, employees, agents or representatives of the other (whether such right of recovery arises from a claim based on negligence or otherwise), for loss of or damage to its property or the property of others under its control, if such loss or damage is covered by any insurance policy in force (whether or not described in this Lease) at the time of such loss or damage. To the extent required under their respective policies of insurance, Landlord and Tenant shall give notice to the insurance carriers of this mutual waiver of claims and confirm that their respective policies of insurance do not prohibit this waiver and include a corresponding waiver of subrogation by the insurer.

(v)

Tenant shall not do or permit to be done any act or thing upon the Premises which would (a) jeopardize or be in conflict with the property insurance policies covering the Premises or fixtures or property in the Premises; (b) increase the rate of property insurance applicable to the Premises to an amount higher than it otherwise would be for general office and warehouse use of the Premises; or (c) subject Landlord to any liability or responsibility for injury to any person or persons or to property by reason of any business or operation being conducted at the Premises.

(vi)

Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, keep in full force and effect during the Lease Term the following additional coverage: (1) workers’ compensation insurance as required by state law; and (2) employer’s liability insurance. Such property insurance policies of Tenant shall contain an agreed amount endorsement in lieu of a co-insurance clause, and shall be written as primary policies, not contributing with and not supplemental to the property insurance coverage that Landlord is required to carry pursuant to Section 4.04(b) above. Tenant may satisfy its liability insurance obligations under this subsection through the use of a combination of primary and excess or umbrella coverage. Tenant shall be solely responsible for payment of the entirety of any self-insured retention or deductible amount under Tenant’s insurance policies.

(vii)

If Tenant carries any of the liability insurance required hereunder in the form of a policy covering more than one location, any certificate required hereunder shall make specific reference to the Premises. In addition, any such policy shall contain a “per location” or “Designated Locations(s) General Aggregate” (or comparable) endorsement assuring that any aggregate limit under such policy shall apply separately to the Premises and that the insurer thereunder shall provide written notice to Landlord if the available portion of such aggregate is reduced to less than the minimum amounts required under Section 4.04(a) above by either payment of claims or the establishment of reserves for claims (in which case Tenant shall be obligated to take immediate steps to increase the amount of its insurance coverage in order to satisfy the minimum requirements set forth in Section 4.04(a) above).

(viii)

Tenant’s insurance obligations under this Section 4.04 are separate and

independent obligations of Tenant, and are expressly not dependent or conditioned on any other obligations of Tenant under this Lease.

Section 4.05

Common Areas; Use, Maintenance and Costs.

(a)

Common Areas. As used in this Lease, “Common Areas” shall mean all areas of the Premises outside of the Building, including, but not limited to, parking areas, driveways, sidewalks, loading areas, access roads, corridors, landscaping and planted areas.

(b)

Use of Common Areas. Tenant shall have the right to use the Common Areas for the purposes intended. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary in this Lease, Tenant’s right to use the Common Areas shall automatically terminate upon termination of this Lease or upon termination of Tenant’s right to possess the Premises.

(c)

Maintenance of Common Areas. Tenant shall maintain the Common Areas in good order, condition and repair, consistent with, in Tenant’s sole discretion, an industrial/commercial real property development in the Las Vegas, Nevada market. Tenant shall pay one hundred percent (100%) of all costs incurred for the operation and maintenance of the Common Areas (the “Common Area Costs”). Common Area Costs include, but are not limited to, all costs and expenses for the following: utilities, water and sewage charges; maintenance of signs; maintenance of any ESFR fire system and pump (including testing, monitoring and servicing); maintenance of landscaped areas; association dues; all property taxes and assessments levied on or attributable to the Common Areas and all Common Area improvements; all personal property taxes levied on or attributable to personal property used in connection with the Common Areas; the cost of improvements made subsequent to the initial development of the Premises to comply with the requirements of any law, ordinance, code, rule or regulation, including, without limitation, any “green building” laws; fees for required licenses and permits; repairing, resurfacing, repaving, maintaining, painting, lighting, cleaning, refuse removal, security and similar items for the Premises; the cost of service contracts and maintenance expenses for heating and air conditioning systems, except to the extent undertaken by Tenant pursuant to Section 6.04(a) below; the costs of operating and maintaining any on-site or off-site storm water detention facilities benefiting the Premises; the cost of service contracts and maintenance expenses for the roof of the Premises; exterior painting, sealing and restriping and/or resurfacing and repaving of the parking lot, driveways, and other paved areas. Common Area Costs shall not include depreciation of real property which forms part of the Common Areas.

(d)

Landscaped and Paved Areas. Consistent with Section 4.05(c) above, Tenant shall maintain, as a Common Area Cost, the landscaped and paved areas of the Premises. Such maintenance shall include gardening, tree trimming, replacement or repair of landscaping, landscape irrigation systems and similar items. Such maintenance shall also include sweeping and cleaning of asphalt, concrete or other surfaces on the driveway, parking areas, yard areas, loading areas or other paved or covered surfaces

(e)

Payment. Tenant shall pay all Common Area Costs (prorated for any fractional month) as provided below in this Section 4.05(e).

Section 4.06

Late Charges. Tenant’s failure to pay rent promptly may cause Landlord to incur unanticipated costs. The exact amount of such costs is impractical or extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs may include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord by any ground lease, mortgage or trust deed encumbering the Premises. Therefore, if Landlord does not receive any rent payment within five (5) days after it becomes due, Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the overdue amount. The parties agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of such late payment. If Tenant shall be served with a demand for payment of past due rent or any other charge, any payments tendered thereafter to cure any default of Tenant shall be made only by cashier’s check, wire transfer, or other immediately available funds.

Section 4.07

Interest on Past Due Obligations. In addition to any late charge imposed pursuant to Section 4.06 above, any amount owed by Tenant to Landlord which is not paid within five (5) days after it becomes due shall bear interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum from the due date of such amount (“Interest”); provided, however, that no interest shall be payable on any late charges imposed on Tenant under this Lease. The payment of interest on such amounts shall not excuse or cure any default by Tenant under this Lease. If the interest rate specified in this Section 4.07, or any other charge or payment due under this Lease which may be deemed or construed as interest, is higher than the rate permitted by law, such interest rate is hereby decreased to the maximum legal interest rate permitted by law.

Section 4.08

Payment of Additional Rent. The Additional Rent provided to be paid hereunder in

Section 1.09(b) shall be paid in advance by Tenant on the first day of each month without further demand or any deduction, offset, or set-off whatsoever. Such Additional Rent shall be held by Landlord for the payment of the Operating Costs, including all Real Property Taxes for which Tenant is liable under Section 4.02 of this Lease, charges for water and any utilities not paid directly by Tenant under Section 4.03 of this Lease, all insurance premiums for which Tenant is liable under Section 4.04 of this Lease, Tenant’s pro-rata share of common area costs under Section 4.05 of this Lease, all maintenance and repair costs for which Tenant is liable under Section 6.04 of this Lease, and all other Operating Costs payable by Tenant hereunder. Should actual Operating Costs as adjusted to an average monthly cost exceed the amount in Section 1.09(b), the Landlord may increase the Additional Rent in Section 1.09(b) based upon Landlord’s experience and reasonable anticipation of future costs. Such adjustments shall be effective as of the next Rent payment date after notice to Tenant.

Receipt of such notice shall not be deemed to create any obligation on the part of Landlord to defend or otherwise respond to any such notification.

If requested by Landlord, Tenant shall disclose to Landlord the names and amounts of all Hazardous Materials other than general office and cleaning supplies referred to in 5.03.2 of this Lease, which were used, generated, treated, handled, stored or disposed of on the Premises or which Tenant intends to use, generate, treat, handle, store or dispose of on the Premises.

In the event this Lease provides that Tenant may assign this Lease or sublet the Premises subject to Landlord’s consent and/or certain other conditions, and if the proposed assignee’s or subtenant’s activities in or about the Premises involve the use, handling, storage or disposal of any Hazardous Materials other than those used by Tenant and in quantities and processes similar to Tenant’s uses in compliance with this Lease, (i) it shall be reasonable for Landlord to withhold its consent to such assignment or sublease in light of the risk of contamination posed by such activities and/or (ii) Landlord may, in its sole and absolute discretion, impose an additional condition to such assignment or sublease which requires Tenant to reasonably establish that such assignee’s or subtenant’s activities pose no materially greater risk of contamination to the Premises than do Tenant’s permitted activities in view of: (a) the quantities, toxicity and other properties of the Hazardous Materials to be used by such assignee or subtenant; (b) the precautions against a release of Hazardous Materials such assignee or subtenant agrees to implement; (c) such assignee’s or subtenant’s financial condition as it relates to its ability to fund a major clean-up; and (d) such assignee’s or subtenant’s policy and historical record respecting its willingness to respond to the clean-up of a release of Hazardous Materials.

5.03.9

Survival of Hazardous Materials Obligation. Tenant’s breach of any of its covenants or obligations under this Section 5.03 shall constitute a material default under this Lease. The obligations of Tenant under this Section 5.03 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease without any limitation, and shall constitute obligations that are independent and severable from Tenant’s covenants and obligations to pay rent under this Lease.

Section 5.04

Auctions and Signs. Tenant shall not conduct or permit any auctions or sheriff’s sales at the Premises. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, may, with the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, install any identification signs (“Signs”) at the Premises; provided, however, that (i) the Signs shall comply with all applicable governmental rules and regulations and the covenants, conditions and restrictions governing the Premises; and (ii) Tenant shall be responsible for all costs incurred in connection with the design, construction, installation, repair and maintenance of the Signs.

As used in this Section, the term “Tenant” shall include Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors and invitees, if applicable. The provisions of this Section 5.05 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease with respect to any claims or liability occurring prior to such expiration or earlier termination, and shall constitute obligations that are independent and severable from Tenant’s covenants and obligations to pay rent under this Lease.

Section 5.06

Landlord’s Access. Landlord reserves the right at all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to Tenant to enter the Premises to (a) inspect it; (b) show the Premises to prospective purchasers, mortgagees or tenants, or to the ground or underlying lessors; (c) post notices of non-responsibility; (d) alter, improve or repair the Premises; or (e) place “For Sale” and “For Lease” signs on the Premises during the last one hundred eighty (180) days of the Lease Term.

Any such entries shall be without the abatement of Rent and shall include the right to take such reasonable steps as required to accomplish the stated purposes. For each of the above purposes, Landlord may request and Tenant shall provide a key with which to unlock all the doors in the Premises. In an emergency, Landlord shall have the right to use any means that Landlord may deem proper to open the doors in and to the Premises. Any entry into the Premises in the manner described above shall not be

deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Premises, or an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant from any portion of the Premises. In addition to Landlord’s access described herein, Tenant agrees that Landlord may enter upon the Premises no less frequently than monthly during the buildout phase and thereafter no less than every 90 days during operation to evaluate building, so long as such entry does not violate any laws applicable to Tenant’s operations conducted on the Premises.

Section 5.07

Vehicle Parking. Tenant shall be entitled to use all spaces in the vehicle parking area located adjacent to the Premises, as described in Section 1.04, and as shown on Exhibit “A” attached hereto, without paying any additional Rent, other than the usual charges pertaining to the operation and maintenance of the Common Areas.

Section 5.08

Quiet Possession. If Tenant pays the rent and observes and performs all other terms, covenants and conditions on Tenant’s part to be observed and performed under this Lease, Landlord agrees to defend Tenant’s right to quiet enjoyment of the Premises for the Lease Term against any party claiming by, through or under Landlord, subject to the provisions of this Lease. Landlord hereby represents and warrants to Tenant and Tenant’s lenders that Landlord owns fee simple title to the Premises and has the legal right, power and authority to enter into this Lease and this Lease upon execution shall be binding upon Landlord in accordance with its terms.

Except as expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representations or warranties, express or implied, whatsoever with respect to the condition of the Premises, the Building or any portion of the Premises, or any buildings or other improvements on or comprising a part of either of same, nor with respect to the fitness or suitability thereof for any particular use or purpose, and Tenant hereby waives any and all such warranties, express or implied, including specifically but without limitation any warranty or representation of suitability. Tenant represents and warrants that Tenant has made its own inspection of and inquiry regarding the condition of the Premises (or has had the opportunity to do so) and is not relying on any representations of Landlord with respect thereto.

Section 6.02

Exemption of Landlord from Liability. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Landlord shall not be liable for (and Tenant assumes the risk of) any damage or injury to the person, business (or any loss of income therefrom), goods, wares, merchandise or other property of Tenant, Tenant’s employees, invitees, customers or any other person in or about the Premises, whether such damage or injury is caused by or results from: (a) fire, steam, electricity, water, gas or rain; (b) the breakage, leakage, obstruction or other defects of pipes, sprinklers, wires, appliances, plumbing, air conditioning or lighting fixtures or any other cause; (c) conditions arising in or about the Premises or upon other portions of the Premises, or from other sources or places; or (d) criminal acts or entry by unauthorized persons into the Premises or the Building. Landlord shall not be liable for any such damage or injury even though the cause of or the means of repairing such damage or injury are not accessible to Tenant. The provisions of this Section 6.02 shall not, however, exempt Landlord from liability to the extent of Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, and are subject to Section 4.04(d)(iv) above.

Section 6.03

Landlord’s Obligations.

(a)

Except as provided in Article Seven (Damage or Destruction) and Article Nine (Condemnation), Landlord shall keep the following in good order, condition and repair (subject to ordinary wear and tear), including replacement, as needed: structural portions of the foundations, exterior walls and roof (including the roof membrane) of the Premises (including painting the exterior surface of the exterior walls of the Premises as often as is necessary, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment. Landlord shall not be obligated to maintain or repair (or replace) the floor, windows, doors, plate glass or the interior surfaces of exterior walls. Landlord shall make repairs required under this Section 6.03 within a reasonable time after receipt of written notice from Tenant of the need for such repairs.

(b)

Except for the structural portions of (i) the foundations, (ii) the exterior walls, and (iii) the roof of the Premises, which shall remain Landlord’s responsibility, Tenant shall pay or reimburse Landlord for all costs Landlord incurs under Section 6.03(a) above as Common Area Costs, as provided in Section 4.05 of this Lease.

Section 6.04

Tenant’s Obligations.

(a)

Except as provided in Section 4.05(c) above with respect to Landlord’s obligations for the performance of certain work at the Premises that is the subject of Section 6.03 (Landlord’s Obligations) above, Article Seven (Damage or Destruction) below, and Article Eight (Condemnation) below, Tenant, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, shall keep all portions of the Premises (including structural, nonstructural, interior, exterior, systems and equipment including HVAC) in good order, condition and repair. If any portion of the Premises or any system or equipment in the Premises that Tenant is obligated to repair cannot be fully repaired or restored, Tenant shall, upon providing Landlord with reasonable prior written notice of the scope and cost of replacement, and subject to Landlord’s approval of the same, promptly replace such portion of the Premises or system or equipment in the Premises. The cost of such replacement shall be amortized over the useful life as reasonably determined by Landlord, and Tenant shall only be liable for that portion of the cost which is applicable to the remaining Lease Term (as it may be extended) (the “Useful Life Allocation”), and if the full replacement cost is initially borne by Tenant, Landlord shall reimburse Tenant or provide Tenant with a credit against future Additional Rent obligations in an amount equal to Landlord’s share of such total cost. Tenant shall maintain a reasonable preventive maintenance service contract providing for the regular inspection and maintenance of the Premises’ heating and air conditioning systems (the “HVAC Systems”) by a licensed heating and air conditioning contractor, unless Landlord is obligated to maintain all or a portion of such equipment pursuant to Section 6.03(a) above, or unless Landlord makes the election described in the next succeeding sentence. It is the intention of Landlord and Tenant that, at all times during the Lease Term, Tenant shall maintain the Premises in an attractive, first-class and fully operative condition. Without limiting the generality of the provisions contained above in this Section 6.04(a), Tenant agrees to pay Landlord the cost to repair any damage caused by the transportation and storage of its products in, on, or about the Premises, including, but not limited to any damage to concrete floor slab, adjoining concrete ramps, adjoining concrete truck apron, and adjoining concrete or asphalt parking and access areas due to the use of forklifts or other equipment or vehicles hauling Tenant’s products or otherwise, ordinary wear and tear from intended use excepted. Tenant’s payment obligation described in the immediately preceding sentence shall include the cost of replacement of any damaged areas of the Premises or the Premises, if repair is impracticable, so as to restore such areas to the condition existing prior to such damage and in such event Tenant shall not be entitled to the benefit of the Useful Life Allocation.

(b)

Tenant shall fulfill all of Tenant’s obligations under this Section 6.04 at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 6.04. If Tenant fails to maintain, repair or replace the Premises as required by this Section 6.04, Landlord may (but without any obligation to do so), upon ten (10) days’ prior notice to Tenant (except that no notice shall be required in the case of an emergency), enter the Premises and perform such maintenance or repair (including replacement, as needed) on behalf of Tenant. In such case, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord on demand for all costs incurred in performing such maintenance, repair or replacement.

Section 6.05

Alterations, Additions, and Improvements.

(a)

Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions, or improvements to the Premises (“Tenant’s Alterations”) without Landlord’s prior written consent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that no consent shall be required for non-structural interior alterations that (i) do not exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) in cost; (ii) are not visible from the outside of the Building; and (iii) do not alter or penetrate the floor slab (except as allowed pursuant to Section 6.09 below) or the roof membrane. All Tenant’s Alterations shall be at Tenant’s sole cost and expense and shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner, in conformity with all Applicable Laws. Upon completion of any such work, Tenant shall provide Landlord with “as built” plans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, Tenant must obtain Landlord’s prior written consent for any Tenant’s Alterations that will (or may) be visible from the outside of the Building. Landlord shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to determine the location of any such visible Tenant’s Alterations and require the screening of such items at Tenant’s sole cost and expense.

(b)

Tenant shall pay when due all claims for labor and material furnished to the Premises or alleged to have been furnished to or for Tenant at or for use of the Premises. Tenant shall give Landlord at least twenty (20) days’ prior written notice of the commencement of any work on the Premises, regardless of whether Landlord’s consent to such work is required. Landlord may elect to record and post notices of non-responsibility in, on or about the Premises, to the extent permitted under Applicable Law.

(c)

To the extent Landlord’s prior consent is required by this Section 6.05, Landlord may

condition its consent to any proposed Tenant’s Alterations on such requirements as Landlord, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable, including without limitation: (i) Tenant’s submission to Landlord, for Landlord’s prior written approval, of all plans and specifications relating to Tenant’s Alterations; (ii) Tenant’s written notice of whether Tenant’s Alterations include the use or handling of any Hazardous Materials; (iii) Tenant’s obtaining, for Landlord’s benefit and protection, of such insurance as Landlord may reasonably require (in addition to that required under Section 4.04 of this Lease);and (iv) Tenant’s obtaining all applicable permits from the governmental authorities and the furnishing of copies of such permits to Landlord before the commencement of work on the subject Tenant’s Alterations.

(d)

Tenant shall have no power or authority to do any act or make any contract which may create or be the basis for any lien upon the interest of Landlord in the Premises or the Premises, or any portion thereof. Within ten (10) days following the imposition of any mechanics or other lien or stop notice filed with respect to the Premises or the Premises, or any portion thereof, based upon any act of Tenant or of anyone claiming by, through or under Tenant, or based upon work performed or materials supplied allegedly for Tenant, (an “Imposition”), Tenant shall either (a) cause such Imposition to be released of record by payment, or (b) in case of a disputed Imposition and dispensation to a final judgment, cause the posting of a proper bond (pursuant to Applicable Law under which a court issues an order that discharges the lien) or provide other security satisfactory to Landlord. Provided that the Imposition is timely released or bonded over, Tenant shall have the right to contest the validity of the obligation underlying the Imposition, provided that Tenant shall diligently contest such Imposition and indemnify, defend, and hold Landlord harmless from any and all loss, cost, damage, liability and expense (including attorneys’ fees) arising from or related to it. If Tenant fails to take either action within such ten (10)-day period, Landlord, at its election, may pay and satisfy the Imposition, in which case the sum so paid by Landlord, with interest from the date of payment at the rate set forth in Section 4.07 of this Lease, shall be deemed Additional Rent due and payable by Tenant within ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s payment demand. Nothing in this Lease shall be construed as consent on the part of Landlord to subject the interest and estate of Landlord to liability under any applicable lien law for any reason or purpose whatsoever, it being expressly understood that Landlord’s interest and estate shall not be subject to such liability and that no person shall have any right to assert any such lien.

(e)

Notwithstanding any language to the contrary in this Section 6.05, if the proposed Tenant’s Alterations involve or affect in any way one or more of the structural components of the Building, or relate in any way to life safety matters, including, but not limited to, the Building’s fire suppression system (collectively, the “Structural and Safety Alterations”), Landlord’s prior written consent will be required, regardless of the cost of the proposed Tenant’s Alterations.

(f)

Tenant acknowledges and agrees that any Tenant’s Alterations are wholly optional with Tenant and are not being required by Landlord, either as a condition to the effectiveness of this Lease or otherwise.

Section 6.06

Condition upon Termination. Upon the termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord, broom clean and in the same condition as received (including, without limitation, the removal of all floor striping and the resealing of the floor, but only to the extent such resealing is necessitated by the removal of such floor striping), ordinary wear and tear excepted; provided, however, that (a) “ordinary wear and tear” shall not include any damage or deterioration that would or could have been prevented by good maintenance practice or by Tenant performing all of its obligations under this Lease, and (b) Tenant shall not be obligated to repair any damage which Landlord is required to repair under Section 6.03 above or Article Seven (Damage or Destruction) below. All Tenant's Alterations that Landlord has not required Tenant to remove shall become Landlord’s property and shall be surrendered to Landlord upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, except that Tenant may remove any of Tenant’s machinery, equipment or other personal property that can be removed without material damage to the Premises. Tenant shall repair, at Tenant’s expense, any damage to the Premises caused by the removal of any such machinery, equipment or other personal property. In no event, however, shall Tenant remove any of the following materials or equipment (which shall be deemed Landlord’s property) without Landlord’s prior written consent: any power wiring and power panels; drapes, blinds and other window coverings; carpets and other floor coverings; heaters, air conditioners and any other heating and air conditioning equipment; fencing and security gates; load levelers, dock lights, dock locks and dock seals; and other similar building operating equipment and decorations. Tenant’s obligations under this Section 6.06 shall also include its obligations under Section 5.04 with respect to any Signs. If Tenant fails, by the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, to restore the Premises to the condition required under this Section 6.06, then Tenant

shall pay Landlord on demand an amount equal to the cost of such restoration work

Section 6.07

Roof Access. Anything in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Tenant shall not and shall not permit any of its employees, agents, contractors or invitees to enter on or in any way move about on the roof of the Building, for any purposes whatsoever, without the prior written consent of, coordination with, and supervision of Landlord or its selected agents or contractors.

Article Seven

DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION

Section 7.01

Partial Damage to Property.

(a)

Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing immediately upon the occurrence of any damage to the Premises. If the Premises is only partially damaged (i.e., less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Premises is untenantable as a result of such damage or less than twenty-five percent (25%) of Tenant’s operations are materially impaired) and if the proceeds received by Landlord from the insurance policies described in Subsection 4.04(b) are sufficient to pay for the necessary repairs, this Lease shall remain in effect and Landlord shall repair the damage as soon as reasonably possible. Landlord may elect, but is not required, to repair any damage to Tenant’s fixtures, equipment, or improvements.

(b)

If the insurance proceeds received by Landlord are not sufficient to pay the entire cost of repair, or if the cause of the damage is not covered by the insurance policies which Landlord maintains under Subsection 4.04(b), Landlord may elect either to (i) repair the damage as soon as reasonably possible, in which case this Lease shall remain in full force and effect, or (ii) terminate this Lease as of the date the damage occurred. Landlord shall notify Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of the occurrence of the damage whether Landlord elects to repair the damage or terminate the Lease. If Landlord elects to repair the damage, Tenant shall pay Landlord the “deductible amount” (if any) under Landlord’s insurance policies if the damage was due to an act or omission of Tenant, or Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors, or invitees. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease, Tenant may elect to continue this Lease in full force and effect, in which case Tenant shall repair any damage to the Property and any building in which the Premises is located. Tenant shall pay the cost of such repairs, and Landlord shall deliver to Tenant any insurance proceeds received by Landlord for the damage repaired by Tenant, if any. Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of such election within ten (10) days after receiving Landlord’s termination notice.

(c)

If the damage to the Premises occurs during the last six (6) months of the Lease Term and such damage will require more than thirty (30) days to repair, either Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease as of the date the damage occurred, regardless of the sufficiency of any insurance proceeds. The party electing to terminate this Lease shall give written notification to the other party of such election within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s notice to Landlord of the occurrence of the damage.

Section 7.02

Substantial or Total Destruction. If the Premises is substantially or totally destroyed by any cause whatsoever (i.e., the damage to the Premises is greater than partial damage as described in Section 7.01), and regardless of whether Landlord receives any insurance proceeds, this Lease shall terminate as of the date the destruction occurred. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if the Property can be rebuilt within six (6) months after the date of destruction, Landlord may elect to rebuild the Property at Landlord’s own expense, in which case this Lease shall remain in full force and effect. Landlord shall notify Tenant of such election within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s notice of the occurrence of total or substantial destruction. If Landlord so elects, Landlord shall rebuild the Premises at Landlord’s sole expense, except that if the destruction was caused by an act or omission of Tenant, Tenant shall pay Landlord the difference between the actual cost of rebuilding and any insurance proceeds received by Landlord.

Section 7.03

Temporary Reduction of Rent. If the Premises is destroyed or damaged and Landlord or Tenant repairs or restores the Premises pursuant to the provisions of this Article Seven, any Base Rent and recurring Additional Rent payable during the period of such damage, repair and/or restoration shall be equitably reduced according to the degree, if any, to which Tenant’s use of the Premises is impaired. However, the reduction shall not exceed the sum of one year’s payment of Base Rent, insurance premiums, and Real Property Taxes. Except for such possible reduction in Base Rent, insurance premiums, and Real Property Taxes, Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation, reduction, or reimbursement from Landlord as a result of any damage, destruction, repair, or restoration of or to the Premises.

Article Eight

CONDEMNATION

If all or any portion of the Premises is taken under the power of eminent domain or sold under the threat of that power (all of which are called “Condemnation”), Landlord shall promptly notify Tenant thereof in writing and this Lease shall terminate as to the part taken or sold on the date the condemning authority takes title or possession, whichever occurs first. If more than twenty percent (20%) of the floor area of the Premises or such other material portion of either the Premises or Common Areas is taken, Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease as of the date the condemning authority takes title or possession, by delivering written notice to the other within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice of such taking (or in the absence of such notice, within ten (10) days after the condemning authority takes title or possession). If neither Landlord nor Tenant terminates this Lease, this Lease shall remain in effect as to the portion of the Premises not taken, except that the Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be equitably reduced in proportion to the reduction in the floor area of the Premises. Tenant shall have the right to file any and all legal and equitable claims available to Tenant for any taking of Tenant’s rights, lease interest, loss of business, damages, personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and/or removable by Tenant upon expiration of the Lease Term pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and for moving expenses, and any other claims available in law or equity. If this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall repair any damage to the Premises caused by the Condemnation, except that Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage for which Tenant has been reimbursed by the condemning authority. If the severance damages received by Landlord are not sufficient to pay for such repair, Landlord shall have the right to either terminate this Lease or make such repair at Landlord’s expense. Any Condemnation award or payment shall be payable to Landlord.

Article Nine

ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

Section 9.01

Transfers. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.07 below, Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, assign, mortgage, pledge, encumber or otherwise transfer, this Lease or any interest hereunder, permit any assignment or other such foregoing transfer of this Lease or any interest hereunder by operation of law, or sublet the Premises or any part thereof (all of the foregoing are hereinafter sometimes referred to collectively as “Transfers” and any person to whom any Transfer is made or sought to be made is hereinafter sometimes referred to as a “Transferee”). To request Landlord’s consent to any Transfer requiring such consent under the provisions of this Article Nine, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing, which notice (the “Transfer Notice”) shall include (i) the proposed effective date of the Transfer, which shall not be less than forty-five (45) days after the date of delivery of the Transfer Notice, (ii) a description of the portion of the Premises to be transferred (the “Subject Space”), (iii) all of the material terms of the proposed Transfer and the consideration therefor, in connection with such Transfer, the name and address of the proposed Transferee, and a copy of all existing and/or proposed documentation pertaining to the proposed Transfer, including all existing operative documents to be executed to evidence such Transfer or the agreements incidental or related to such Transfer, and (iv) current financial statements of the proposed Transferee certified by an officer, partner or owner thereof, and any other relevant information reasonably required by Landlord

Section 9.02

Landlord’s Consent. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed Transfer of the Subject Space to the Transferee on the terms specified in the Transfer Notice. The parties hereby agree that it shall be reasonable under this Lease and under any Applicable Law for Landlord to withhold consent to any proposed Transfer where one or more of the following apply, without limitation as to other reasonable grounds for withholding consent:

9.02.1

The Transferee’s business or use of the Subject Space is not permitted under this Lease;

9.02.2

The Transferee is not a party of reasonable financial worth and/or financial stability in light of the responsibilities involved under this Lease on the date consent is requested;

9.02.3

The proposed Transfer would cause Landlord to be in violation of another lease or agreement to which Landlord is a party;

9.02.4

A default of Tenant under this Lease has occurred and is then uncured.

If Landlord consents to any Transfer pursuant to the terms of this Section 9.02 (and does not exercise any recapture rights Landlord may have under Section 9.04 of this Lease), Tenant may within one hundred eighty (180) days after Landlord’s consent, but not later than the expiration of such 180-day period, enter into such Transfer of the Premises or portion thereof, upon substantially the same terms and conditions as are set forth in the Transfer Notice furnished by Tenant to Landlord pursuant to Section 9.01 of this Lease.

Section 9.03

Effect of Transfer. If Landlord consents to a Transfer, (i) the terms and conditions of this Lease shall in no way be deemed to have been waived or modified, (ii) such consent shall not be deemed consent to any further Transfer by either Tenant or a Transferee, (iii) Tenant shall deliver to Landlord, promptly after execution, an original executed copy of all documentation pertaining to the Transfer in form reasonably acceptable to Landlord, (iv) no Transfer relating to this Lease or agreement entered into with respect thereto, whether with or without Landlord’s consent, shall relieve Tenant or any guarantor of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease from liability under this Lease. Landlord or its authorized representatives shall have the right at all reasonable times to audit the books, records and papers of Tenant relating to any Transfer, and shall have the right to make copies thereof

Section 9.04

Tenant Affiliate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 9.01 of this Lease, a Transfer of all or a portion of the Premises to an affiliate of Tenant (an entity which is controlled by, controls, or is under common control with, Tenant) (a “Tenant Affiliate”), shall not be deemed a Transfer under Article Nine for which (a) consent is required, provided that: (i) Tenant immediately notifies Landlord of any such Transfer; (ii) promptly supplies Landlord with any documents or relevant information reasonably requested by Landlord regarding such Transfer; (iii) if such Transfer is an assignment, Tenant Affiliate assumes in writing all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; and (iv) such Transfer is not a subterfuge by Tenant to avoid its obligations under this Lease or the Transfer restrictions set forth in this Article Nine.

Section 9.05

No Merger. No merger shall result from Tenant’s sublease of the Premises under this Article Nine, Tenant’s surrender of this Lease or the termination of this Lease in any other manner. In any such event, Landlord may terminate any or all subtenancies or succeed to the interest of Tenant as sublandlord under any or all subtenancies.

Article Ten

DEfAULTS; REMEDIES

Section 10.01

Covenants and Conditions. Tenant’s performance of each of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease is a condition of the Lease. Tenant’s right to continue in possession of the Premises is conditioned upon such performance. Time is of the essence in the performance of all covenants and conditions.

Section 10.02

Defaults. Tenant shall be in default under this Lease (an “Event of Default”):

(a)

If Tenant abandons the Premises or if Tenant’s vacation of the Premises results in the cancellation of any insurance described in Section 4.04 above;

(b)

If Tenant fails to pay rent or any other charge when due, and such failure continues for more than ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord;

(c)

If Tenant fails to perform any of Tenant’s material non-monetary obligations under this Lease for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice from Landlord; provided that if more than thirty (30) days are required to complete such performance, Tenant shall not be in default if Tenant commences such performance within the thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues its completion. However, Landlord shall not be required to give such notice if Tenant’s failure to perform constitutes a non-curable breach of this Lease. The notice required by this Subsection 10.02(c) is intended to satisfy any and all notice requirements imposed by law on Landlord and is not in addition to any such requirement.

(d)

If Tenant makes a general assignment or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors; if a bankruptcy petition is filed by or against Tenant and is not dismissed within thirty (30) days; if a trustee or receiver is appointed to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease and possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or if substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease is subjected to attachment, execution or other judicial seizure which is not discharged within thirty (30) days.

(e)

If Tenant’s use becomes unlawful or unpermitted by applicable governmental authority.

Section 10.03

Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord shall provide Tenant a ten 10-day written notice to cure. Such notice shall contain the description of the Event of Default, and provide for a ten 10-day right to cure. If the ten 10-day right to cure expires, and Tenant has not remedied the Event of Default, Landlord may, at its option pursue any one or more of the following remedies, and any and all other rights or remedies accruing to Landlord by law or otherwise, without any notice or demand to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:

(a)

In the event of Tenant's default, in addition to and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any other rights or remedies provided for herein or at law or in equity, Landlord, at its sole option and with or without notice or demand, shall have the following rights:

(i)

The right to declare the Lease Term ended and to reenter the Premises and take possession thereof, and to terminate all of the rights of Tenant in and to the Premises;

(ii)

The right, without declaring the Lease Term ended, to reenter the Property and to occupy the same, or any portion thereof, for and on account of Tenant as hereinafter provided, and Tenant shall be liable for and pay to Landlord on demand all such expenses as Landlord may have paid, assumed, or incurred in recovering possession of the Premises, including costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, and expenditures placing the same in good order and condition, and all other expenses, commissions and charges paid, assumed, or incurred by Landlord in or in connection with reletting the Premises. Any such reletting as provided for herein. Any reletting by Landlord may be for the remainder of the Lease Term or for a longer or shorter period. Such reletting shall be for such rent and on such other terms and conditions as Landlord, in its sole reasonable discretion, deems appropriate. Landlord may execute any lease made pursuant to the terms hereof in Landlord’s own name, or assume Tenant’s interest in and to any existing subleases to any subtenant of the Property, as Landlord may see fit, and Tenant shall have no right or authority whatsoever to collect any rent from such tenants, subtenants, licensees, or concessionaires on the Premises. In any case, and whether or not the Premises or any part thereof be relet, Tenant, until the end of what would have been the Lease Term in the absence of such default and whether or not the Premises or any part thereof shall have been relet, shall be liable to Landlord and shall pay to Landlord monthly an amount equal to the amount due as rent hereunder, less the net proceeds for said month, if any, of any reletting effected for the account of Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Subsection 10.03(a)(ii), after deducting from said proceeds all of Landlord’s expenses in connection with such reletting, including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys’ fees, expenses of employees, alteration costs, and expenses of preparation for such reletting (all said costs are cumulative and shall be applied against proceeds of reletting until paid in full). Landlord reserves the right to bring such actions for the recovery of any deficits remaining unpaid by Tenant to Landlord hereunder as Landlord may deem advisable from time to time without being obligated to await the end of the term hereof for a final determination of Tenant’s account and the commencement or maintenance of one or more actions by Landlord in this connection shall not bar Landlord from bringing any subsequent actions for further accruals pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.03. In no event shall Tenant be entitled to any excess rental received by Landlord over and above that which Tenant is obligated to pay hereunder; or

(iii)

The right, even though it may have relet all or any portion of the Premises in accordance with the provisions of Subsection 10.03(b) below, to thereafter at any time elect to terminate this Lease for such previous default on the part of Tenant, and to terminate all of the rights of Tenant in and to the Premises.

(b)

Pursuant to the rights of re-entry provided above, Landlord may remove all persons from the Premises and may, remove all property therefrom, and may, enforce any rights Landlord may have against said property or store the same in any public or private warehouse or elsewhere at the cost and for the account of Tenant or the owner or owners thereof. Tenant agrees to hold Landlord free and harmless from any liability whatsoever for the removal and/or storage of any such property, whether of Tenant or any third party whomsoever. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord shall not be deemed to have terminated this Lease or the liability of Tenant to pay any rent or other sum of money thereafter to accrue hereunder, or Tenant’s liability for damages under any of the provisions hereof, by any such reentry, or by any action in unlawful detainer or otherwise to obtain possession of the Property, unless Landlord shall have specifically, with reference to this Section 10.03, notified Tenant in writing that it has so elected to terminate this Lease. Tenant covenants and agrees that the service by Landlord of any notice pursuant to the unlawful detainer statutes of the State of Nevada and the surrender of possession pursuant to such notice shall not (unless Landlord elects to the contrary at the time of, or at any time subsequent to, the service of such notice to Tenant) be deemed to be a termination of this Lease, or the termination of any liability of Tenant hereunder to Landlord.

(c)

In any action brought by Landlord to enforce any of its rights under or arising from this Lease, Landlord shall be entitled to receive its costs and legal expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether such action is prosecuted to judgment or not. If Landlord shall engage the services of an attorney for the purpose of collecting any rental due from Tenant, Tenant shall pay the reasonable fees of such attorney for his or her services regardless of the fact that no legal proceeding or action may have been filed or commenced. The parties hereto shall and they hereby do waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim brought by

either of the parties hereto against the other on any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with the Lease, the relationship of Landlord and Tenant, Tenant’s use of occupancy of the Premises, and/or any claim of injury or damage.

(d)

The waiver by Landlord of any default or breach of any of the terms, covenants, or conditions hereof on the part of Tenant to be kept and performed shall not be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach of the same or any other term, covenant, or condition contained herein. The subsequent acceptance of Rent or any other payment hereunder by Tenant to Landlord shall not be construed to be a waiver of any preceding breach by Tenant of any term, covenant, or condition of this Lease other than the failure of Tenant to pay the particular rent or other payment or portion thereof so accepted, regardless of Landlord’s knowledge of such preceding breach at the time of acceptance of such rental or other payment. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the Rent herein provided shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest Rent due and payable hereunder, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent be deemed an accord and a satisfaction, and Landlord may accept any such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s rights to recover the balance of such Rent or pursue any other remedy in or under this Lease. The consent by Landlord to any matter or event requiring Landlord’s consent shall not constitute a waiver of the necessity for such consent to any subsequent matter or event.

(e)

Nothing contained herein shall constitute a waiver of Landlord’s right to recover damages by reason of Landlord’s efforts to mitigate the damage to it caused by Tenant’s default; nor shall anything in this Section 10.03 adversely affect Landlord’s right, as in this Lease elsewhere provided, to indemnification against liability for injury or damage to persons or property occurring prior to a termination of this Lease.

(f)

In the event of termination of this Lease pursuant to this ARTICLE 10, Landlord may recover from Tenant:

(i)

the worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which had been earned at the time of such termination; plus

(ii)

the worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus

As used in Subsections 10.03(f)(i) and Section 10.03(f)(ii) above, the “worth at the time of award” is computed by allowing interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum.

Section 10.04

Repayment of “Free” Rent. If this Lease provides for a postponement of any monthly rental payments, a period or periods of “free” rent, or other rent concession, such postponed rent or “free” rent is called the “Abated Rent.” Tenant shall be credited with having paid all of the Abated Rent on the expiration of the Lease Term only if Tenant has reasonably performed all of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, including the payment of all rent (other than the Abated Rent) and all other monetary obligations and the surrender of the Premises in the physical condition required by this Lease. Tenant acknowledges that its right to receive credit for the Abated Rent is absolutely conditioned upon Tenant’s performance of its obligations under this Lease. If Tenant defaults and does not cure within any applicable grace period, the Abated Rent shall immediately become due and payable in full and this Lease shall be enforced as if there were no such rent abatement or other rent concession.

PROTECTION OF LENDERS

Section 11.01

Subordination. This Lease is subject and subordinate to all present and future ground or underlying leases of the Premises or the Premises and to the lien of any mortgages or deeds of trust, now or hereafter in force against the Premises or the Premises, and to all renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such mortgages or deeds of trust, unless the holders of such mortgages or deeds of trust, or the lessors under such ground lease or underlying leases, require in writing that this Lease be superior thereto. This clause shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall be required to make the interest of any lessor under any ground or underlying lease or holder of any mortgage or deed of trust superior to the interest of Tenant hereunder. Tenant covenants and agrees in the event any proceedings are brought for the foreclosure of any such mortgage or trust deed, or if any ground or underlying lease is terminated, to attorn, without any deductions or set-offs whatsoever, to the purchaser upon any such foreclosure sale, or to the lessor of such ground or underlying lease, as the case may be, if so requested by such purchaser or lessor, and to recognize such purchaser or lessor as the landlord under this Lease, provided such

lienholder or purchaser or ground lessor shall agree to accept this Lease and not disturb Tenant’s occupancy under the terms and conditions of this Lease, so long as Tenant timely pays the rent and observes and performs all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be observed and performed by Tenant. Landlord’s interest herein may be assigned as security at any time to any lienholder. Tenant shall, within ten (10) days of request by Landlord, execute such further commercially reasonable instruments or assurances in the form as is then required by Landlord’s lender to evidence or confirm the subordination or superiority of this Lease to any such mortgages, trust deeds, ground leases or underlying leases.

Section 11.02

(a)

Upon Landlord’s written request, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a written statement, in the form as is then reasonably required by Landlord’s lender, certifying: (i) that none of the terms or provisions of this Lease have been changed (or if they have been changed, stating how they have been changed); (ii) that this Lease has not been cancelled or terminated; (iii) the last date of payment of the Base Rent and other charges and the time period covered by such payment; (iv) that Landlord is not in default under this Lease (or, if Landlord is claimed to be in default, stating why); and (v) such other representations or information with respect to Tenant or this Lease as Landlord may reasonably request or which any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises may require. Tenant shall deliver such statement to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after Landlord’s request. Landlord may give any such statement by Tenant to any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Premises. Such purchaser or encumbrancer may rely conclusively upon such statement as true and correct.

(b)

If Tenant does not deliver such statement to Landlord within such fifteen (15) -day period, Landlord, and any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer, may conclusively presume and rely upon the following facts: (i) that the terms and provisions of this Lease have not been changed except as otherwise represented by Landlord; and (ii) that this Lease has not been canceled or terminated except as otherwise represented by Landlord.

Section 11.03

Tenant’s Financial Condition. Within thirty (30) days after written request from Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord such financial statements, as Landlord reasonably requires, to verify the net worth of Tenant or any assignee, subtenant, or guarantor of Tenant. In addition, Tenant shall deliver to any lender designated by Landlord any financial statements reasonably required by such lender to facilitate the financing or refinancing of the Premises. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that each such financial statement is a true and accurate statement as of the date of such statement. All financial statements required hereunder to be delivered by Tenant shall be confidential and shall be used solely in connection with financing secured by this Lease, or a sale of the Building or Premises. All financial statements and other sensitive financial information delivered to by Landlord to Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall not be disclosed by Landlord except to Landlord’s lenders, consultants, or other advisors who have a reasonable need to know and who are advised as to the confidential nature of such information and agree to treat the same as confidential. As to prospective purchasers of the Building or Premises, Tenant may require such third parties to execute a further Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreement prior to providing such financial statements.

Furthermore, if any action for breach of or to enforce the provisions of this Lease is commenced, the court in such action shall award to the party in whose favor a judgment is entered, a reasonable sum as attorneys’ fees and costs.

Section 16.02

Landlord’s Liability; Certain Duties.

(a)

As used in this Lease, the term “Landlord” means the owner or owners of the fee title to the Premises or the leasehold estate under a ground lease of the Premises. Each Landlord is obligated to perform the obligations of Landlord under this Lease. Each Landlord shall deliver to its transferee all funds that Tenant previously paid if such funds have not yet been applied under the terms of this Lease.

(b)

Tenant shall give written notice of any failure by Landlord to perform any of its obligations under this Lease to Landlord and to any ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary under any deed of trust encumbering the Premises whose name and address have been furnished to Tenant in writing. Landlord shall not be in default under this Lease unless Landlord (or such ground lessor, mortgagee or beneficiary) fails to cure such non-performance within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s notice. However, if such non-performance reasonably requires more than thirty (30) days to cure, Landlord shall not be in default if such cure is commenced within such thirty (30) -day period and thereafter diligently pursued to completion.

(c)

Notwithstanding any term or provision herein to the contrary, the liability of Landlord for the performance of its duties and obligations under this Lease is limited to Landlord’s interest in the Premises, and neither the Landlord nor its members, managers, officers, or other principals shall have any personal liability under this Lease.

Section 16.03

Severability. A determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that any provision of this Lease or any part thereof is illegal or unenforceable shall not cancel or invalidate the remainder of such provision or this Lease, which shall remain in full force and effect, and it is the intention of the parties that there shall be substituted for such provision as is illegal or unenforceable a provision as similar to such provision as may be possible and yet be legal and enforceable.

Section 16.04

Interpretation. The captions of the Articles or Sections of this Lease are to assist the parties in reading this Lease and are not a part of the terms or provisions of this Lease. Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, (i) the plural and singular numbers will each be deemed to include the other; (ii) the masculine,

feminine, and neuter genders will each be deemed to include the others; (iii) “shall,” “will,” “must,” “agrees,” and “covenants” are each mandatory; (iv) “may” is permissive; (v) “or” is not exclusive; and (vi) “includes” and “including” are not limiting. In the event of a dispute between Landlord and Tenant over the interpretation of this Lease, both parties shall be deemed to have been the drafter of this Lease, and any Applicable Law that states that contracts are to be construed against the drafter shall not apply. In any provision relating to the conduct, acts or omissions of Tenant, the term “Tenant” shall include Tenant’s agents, employees, contractors, invitees, successors or others using the Premises with Tenant’s express or implied permission.

Section 16.05

Incorporation of Prior Agreements; Modifications. This Lease is the only agreement between the parties pertaining to the lease of the Premises and no other agreements are effective. All amendments to this Lease shall be in writing and signed by all parties. Any other attempted amendment shall be void. All attached exhibits are hereby expressly incorporated into this Lease by this reference.

Section 16.06

Notices. All notices, demands, statements or communications (collectively, “Notices”) given or required to be given by either party to the other hereunder shall be in writing, shall be sent by United States certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, nationally-recognized commercial overnight courier, or delivered personally (i) to Tenant at the appropriate address set forth in Section 1.03 above, except that upon Tenant’s taking possession of the Premises, the Premises shall be Tenant’s address for notice purposes, or (ii) to Landlord at the addresses set forth in Section 1.02 above. Landlord and Tenant shall have the right to change its respective Notice address upon giving Notice to the other party. Any Notice will be deemed given two (2) business days after the date it is mailed as provided in this Section 16.06, or upon the date delivery is made, if delivered by an approved courier (as provided above) or personally delivered. Consistent with the provisions of Section 16.02(b) above, if Tenant is notified of the identity and address of Landlord’s secured lender or ground or underlying lessor, Tenant shall give to such lender or ground or underlying lessor written notice of any default by Landlord under the terms of this Lease by registered or certified mail or by use of a nationally-recognized commercial overnight courier, and such lender or ground or underlying lessor shall be given the same opportunity to cure such default as is provided Landlord under this Lease (unless such cure period is extended pursuant to the terms of any agreement to which Tenant is a party or to which Tenant consents) prior to Tenant’s exercising any remedy available to Tenant. Notices required hereunder may be given by either an agent or attorney acting on behalf of Landlord or Tenant.

Section 16.07

Waivers. The failure of Landlord to insist upon the strict performance, in any of one or more instances, of any term, covenant or condition of this Lease shall not be deemed to be a waiver by Landlord of such term, covenant or condition. No waiver by Landlord of any breach by Tenant of any term, provision and covenant contained herein shall be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach by Tenant of any term, provision or covenant contained herein. Landlord’s acceptance of the payment of rent (or portions thereof) or any other payments hereunder after the occurrence of and during the continuance of a default (or with knowledge of a breach of any term or provision of this Lease which with the giving of notice and the passage of time, or both, would constitute a default) shall not be construed as a waiver of such default or any other rights or remedies of Landlord, including any right of Landlord to recover the Premises. Moreover, Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord’s acceptance of a partial rent payment shall not, under any circumstances (whether or not such partial payment is accompanied by a special endorsement or other statement), constitute an accord and satisfaction. Landlord will accept the check (or other payment means) for payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such rent or to pursue any other remedy available to Landlord. Forbearance by Landlord to enforce one or more of the remedies herein provided upon the occurrence of a default shall not be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of such default.

Section 16.08

No Recordation. Tenant shall not record this Lease or any assignment or security document pertaining to this Lease. Either Landlord or Tenant may require that a “Short Form” or memorandum of this Lease executed by both parties be recorded. The party requiring such recording shall pay all recording fees.

Section 16.09

Binding Effect; Choice of Law. This Lease binds any party who legally acquires any rights or interest in this Lease from Landlord or Tenant. However, Landlord shall have no obligation to Tenant’s successor unless the rights or interests of Tenant’s successor are acquired in accordance with the terms of this Lease. The laws of the State in which the Premises is located shall govern this Lease, without regard to such State’s conflicts of law principles. Tenant hereby knowingly, intentionally, and irrevocably agrees that Landlord may bring any action or claim to enforce or interpret the provisions of this Lease in the State and County where the Premises is located, and that Tenant irrevocably consents to personal jurisdiction in such State for the purposes of any such action or claim. Tenant further agrees that any action or claim brought by Tenant to enforce or interpret the provisions of this Lease, or otherwise arising out of or related to this Lease or to Tenant’s use and occupancy of the Premises, regardless of the theory of relief or recovery and regardless of whether third parties are involved in the action, may only be brought in the State and County where the Premises is located.

Section 16.10

Force Majeure. A “Force Majeure” event shall occur if Landlord or Tenant cannot perform any of its obligations due to events beyond such party’s control (except with respect to the obligations imposed with regard to Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges to be paid by Tenant pursuant to this Lease), and in such cases the time provided for performing such obligations shall be extended by a period of time equal to the duration of such events. Events beyond Landlord’s or Tenant’s control include, but are not limited to, acts of God, war, civil commotion, terrorist acts, labor disputes, strikes, fire, flood or other casualty, shortages of labor or material, government regulation or restriction, waiting periods for obtaining governmental permits or approvals or inspections, or weather conditions. No express reference in this Lease to a Force Majeure event shall create any inference that the terms of this Section 16.12 do not apply with equal force in the absence of such an express reference.

Section 16.12

Counterparts. This Lease may be executed in counterparts and, when all counterpart documents are executed, the counterparts shall constitute a single binding instrument. Receipt of facsimile signatures (regardless of the means of transmission), whether by PDF or other format) shall be as binding on the parties as an original signature.

Section 16.13

Relationship of Parties. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be deemed or construed by the parties hereto or by any third party to create the relationship of principal and agent, partnership, joint venturer or any association between Landlord and Tenant, it being expressly understood and agreed that neither the method of computation of Rent nor any act of the parties hereto shall be deemed to create any relationship between Landlord and Tenant other than the relationship of landlord and tenant.

Section 16.14

No Warranty. In executing and delivering this Lease, Tenant has not relied on any representation, including, but not limited to, any representation whatsoever as to the amount of any item comprising Additional Rent or the amount of the Additional Rent in the aggregate, or any warranty or any statement of Landlord which is not set forth herein or in one or more of the exhibits attached hereto.

Section 16.15

Confidentiality.

Tenant shall keep its partners, members, managers, officers, directors, employees, agents, real estate brokers and sales persons and attorneys, as applicable, from disclosing the terms of this Lease to any other person without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except to any accountants or professionals of Tenant in connection with the preparation of Tenant’s financial statements or tax returns, to agents or consultants of Tenant in connection with Tenant’s performance of its business or obligations hereunder, to an assignee of this Lease or subtenant of the Premises, to the prospective investors of Tenant’s business and their agents, or to a person to whom disclosure is required in connection with any action brought to enforce this Lease, or by law; provided, however, that Tenant shall inform such persons of the confidentiality of the terms of this Lease and shall obtain their agreement to abide by the confidentiality provisions of this Section prior to such disclosure

Section 16.16

CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTE

(the “Note”)




$		Issue Date: , 2017

For value received MJ HOLDINGS, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) promises to pay to the members of [,a limited liability company] (together with its successors and assigns, the “Holder”), at , or at such other address as the holder hereof may from time to time designate in writing, the principal sum of $ , or such lesser amount as shall be equal to the outstanding principal amount hereof (the “Principal Amount”), together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, upon the terms and conditions specified below. This Note (the “Note”) is issued pursuant to that certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of , 2017, by and among the Company and the parties listed on Schedule 2.5 attached thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”). All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the respective meanings given to them in the Purchase Agreement.

So long as any portion of this Note remains outstanding and unpaid, the Company will comply with the following provisions to which this Note is subject and by which it is governed:

1. Interest. Interest shall accrue on the principal outstanding from time to time, commencing six months from the Issue Date of this Note and continuing until repayment of this Note in full, at a rate equal to one quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum. Upon an Event of Default (as defined below), this Note will bear interest at a default rate of interest equal to the sum of the interest rate set forth in the immediately preceding sentence plus an additional one quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum (collectively, “Default Interest”). Interest shall be payable on the Conversion Date or Maturity Date (as defined below), provided that Default Interest shall be payable on demand. Interest shall accrue on the basis of actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 360 days. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if during any period for which interest is computed under this Note, the amount of interest computed on the basis provided for in this Note, together with all fees, charges and other payments which are treated as interest under applicable law, would exceed the amount of such interest computed on the basis of the Highest Lawful Rate (as defined below), the Company’s obligations hereunder shall, automatically and retroactively, be deemed reduced to the Highest Lawful Rate, and during any such period the interest payable under this Note shall be computed on the basis of the Highest Lawful Rate. In the event the Holder receives as interest an amount which would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, then the amount of any excess interest shall not be applied to the payment of interest hereunder, but shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance due hereunder. As used herein, “Highest Lawful Rate” means the maximum non-usurious rate of interest, as in effect from time to time, which may be lawfully charged, contracted for, reserved, received or collected by the Holder in connection with this Note under applicable law.

2. Principal. All unpaid principal, together with any then unpaid and accrued interest and any other amounts payable hereunder, shall be due and payable on the earlier of (a) the Maturity Date (as defined below) or (b) when,

upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amounts are declared due and payable by the Holder or made automatically due and payable, in each case, in accordance with the terms hereof. The “Maturity Date” shall mean October 30, 2018.

3. Payment Terms. Unless earlier converted, all payments of principal and interest shall be in lawful money of the United States of America. Payments under this Note shall be applied first to the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest and then to the payment of principal. Prepayment of the principal amount of this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest on the portion of principal so prepaid, may be made in whole or in part at any time without penalty.

4. Conversion.

(a) The Holder at any time prior to earlier of (i) this Note being paid in full or (ii) the Maturity Date, at its sole option, may convert all outstanding principal and accrued interest into fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock of the Company calculated based upon the total of the outstanding principal excluding interest under this Note being divided by $0.75 (the “Conversion Price” under a conversion pursuant to this Section 4(a)). For clarity, upon such conversion no amounts shall be due to Holder, including, but not limited to, any accrued interest under this Note.

(b) Upon the Maturity Date, the outstanding principal amount of this Note and all accrued and unpaid interest on this Note shall automatically convert into fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock of the Company calculated based upon the total of the outstanding principal excluding interest under this Note being divided by $0.75 (the “Conversion Price” under a conversion pursuant to this Section 4(b)). For clarity, upon such conversion no amounts shall be due to Holder, including, but not limited to, any accrued interest under this Note.

5. Mechanics of Conversion.

(a) Upon conversion of this Note, the Holder shall surrender this Note, duly endorsed, at the principal offices of the Company (or a notice to the effect that the original Note has been lost, stolen or destroyed and an agreement acceptable to the Company whereby the Holder agrees to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with this Note). The Company shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, cause to be issued and delivered to the Holder a certificate or certificates for the number of shares to which the Holder shall be entitled upon such conversion, including a check payable to the Holder for any cash amounts payable as described in Section 5(b).

(b) No fractional shares shall be issued upon conversion of this Note. In lieu of the Company issuing any fractional shares to the Holder upon the conversion of this Note, the Company shall pay to the Holder an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying the Conversion Price by the fraction of a share not issued pursuant to the previous sentence. Upon conversion of this Note in full and the payment of the amounts specified in this Section 5, Company shall be forever released from all its obligations and liabilities under this Note and this Note shall be deemed of no further force or effect, whether or not the original of this Note has been delivered to the Company for cancellation.

6. No Stockholder Rights. This Note, as such, shall not entitle the Holder to any rights as a stockholder of the Company.

7. Miscellaneous.

(a) Waivers. The Company hereby waives demand for payment, notice of dishonor, presentment, protest and notice of protest. No failure or delay on the part of the holder of this Note in exercising any power or right under this Note shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof of the exercise of any other power or right. No notice to or demand on the Company in any case shall entitle the Company to any notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Amendment. This Note may not be amended or modified, nor may any of its terms be waived, except by written instrument signed by the Company and the Holder, and then only to the extent set forth therein.

(c) Binding; Successors and Assigns. If any provision of this Note is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, the validity, legality and enforceability of any of the remaining provisions or portions of this Note shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and this Note shall nevertheless be binding between the Company and the Holder. This Note shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Company, the Holder and their respective successors and assigns.

(d) Governing Law; Venue. The terms of this Note shall be construed and governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to principles of conflict of laws. Any and all disputes arising out of or related to this Note shall be adjudicated exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Nevada. Each of the parties hereto submits itself to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Nevada and the Federal courts of the United States located in such state in respect of all actions arising out of or in connection with the interpretation or enforcement of the Note, waives any argument that venue in such forums is not convenient and agrees that any actions initiated by either party hereto shall be appropriately venued in such forums.

(e) Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given: (i) upon personal delivery to the party to be notified; (ii) when sent by confirmed facsimile if sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, if not, then on the next business day; (iii) one (1) business day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight courier designating next business day delivery; or (iv) five (5) days after having been sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid. All notices and other communications shall be sent to the address or facsimile number as set forth on the signature page hereof or at such other address as such party may designate by ten (10) days’ advance written notice to the other parties.

(f) Time of the Essence; Remedies. Time is of the essence of this Note. The rights and remedies under this Note are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges that may otherwise be available to the Holder.

(g) Severability. If one or more provisions of this Note are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be excluded from this Note, the balance of the Note shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms, and the parties shall use good faith to negotiate a substitute, valid and enforceable provision that replaces the excluded provision and that most nearly effects the parties’ intent in entering into this Note.

(h) Entire Note. This Note constitutes the full and entire understanding, promise and agreement between the Company and the Holder with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede, merge and render void every other prior written and/or oral understanding, promise or agreement between the Company and the Holder with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

(i) Headings. Section headings are inserted herein for convenience only and do not form a part of this Note.
