Sublandlord shall not make any material Alterations to the Common Areas unless Sublandlord obtains Subtenant prior written approval thereof, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, qualified or delayed. The work required to make any such changes or any repairs, maintenance or replacements to the Common Areas may temporarily interfere with Subtenant’s use of the Common Areas, and any such interference shall not constitute a constructive eviction of Subtenant, result in an abatement of Rent, relieve Subtenant from any of its obligations or liabilities under this Sublease, or otherwise give rise to a claim against Sublandlord. The Project Common Areas (or a portion thereof) may be closed, from time to time, by Sublandlord to the extent Sublandlord deems necessary to prevent the public or any person or entity from acquiring any rights or easements therein; provided, Sublandlord shall not close any of the Common Areas in a manner that materially interferes with Subtenant’s use of the Subleased Premises or the Subtenant Exclusive Areas.

(d)Energy Conservation. Sublandlord’s compliance with any mandatory or voluntary energy, utility or resource conservation measures, including, without limitation, any such measures required under Applicable Laws, shall not be considered a violation of the terms of this Sublease and shall not entitle Subtenant to terminate this Sublease or result in the abatement or reduction of the Rent; provided, any voluntary energy, utility or resource conservation measures implemented by Sublandlord shall not materially interfere with the operation of Subtenant’s business in the Subleased Premises.

(e)Utilities. Subtenant shall pay directly to the applicable provider, when due, for all separately metered utilities exclusively serving the Subleased Premises and any equipment not located within the Subleased Premises but exclusively serving the Subleased Premises (including, without limitation, any HVAC units). As to all sub-metered utilities exclusively serving the Subleased Premises, the Subtenant Exclusive Area, any equipment therein, and/or any equipment not located within the Subleased Premises but exclusively serving the Subleased Premises (including, without limitation, any HVAC units), Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord, from time to time, for the actual cost of such utility service (including, without limitation, capacity charges, demand charges, taxes, and other fees), within fifteen (15) days after Subtenant’s receipt of a written invoice from Sublandlord, no more often than monthly.

Subtenant shall ensure that all electricity furnished to the equipment in the warehouse space that is part of the Subleased Premises is separately metered or sub-metered.

(f)Interruptions. Unless due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Sublandlord or any of its agents, employees, contractors or representatives or any Sublandlord Default, Sublandlord shall not be liable for the interruption or cessation of any of the Sublandlord Services or any utility service and there shall be no abatement or reduction of the Rent as a result of any such interruption or cessation and any such disruption shall not relieve Subtenant of any of its obligations or liabilities under this Sublease. If any utility service to the Subleased Premises or any other portion of the Project is disrupted to such an extent that Subtenant cannot operate its business in the Subleased Premises for a period of more than seventy-two (72) hours due to Landlord’s or any of its agent’s, employee’s, contractor’s or representative’s affirmative negligent act or willful misconduct or any Sublandlord Default, then the Rent shall abate during the period Subtenant is unable to operate its business in the Subleased Premises due to such disruption. The interruption or cessation of the Sublandlord Services or any utility service to the Subleased Premises shall not result in constructive eviction, render Sublandlord liable to Subtenant for damages, or, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, relieve Subtenant from performance of Subtenant’s obligation under this Sublease.

(g)Subtenant Supplied Services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Subtenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall contract directly with one or more Persons for general housekeeping and janitorial services with respect to the Subleased Premises. Subtenant shall obtain Sublandlord written approval of the Person or Persons providing such housekeeping and janitorial services to the Subleased Premises, and Sublandlord may, at its option, require that Subtenant utilize the Person providing cleaning services to other portion of the Project. In addition, Subtenant shall be solely responsible for obtaining, at its expense, all monitoring, alarm, and security services for the Subleased Premises that Subtenant deems necessary or desirable, and Sublandlord shall have no liability or responsibility for providing any such services to the Subleased Premises.

In addition, Subtenant shall cause evidence of such insurance coverage to be furnished to Sublandlord, from time to time, upon Sublandlord’s request. Any vendors performing work or providing services at the Subleased Premises shall be required by Subtenant to comply with all reasonable rules and regulations promulgated by Sublandlord, from time to time.

(a) Subtenant’s Obligations. Except for repairs, maintenance and replacements to the Common Areas and the roof, foundation, floor slab, structural elements and exterior walls of the Project that are expressly Landlord’s responsibility under the Master Lease, Subtenant shall perform all repairs and maintenance required to keep the Subleased Premises and all equipment, systems and facilities exclusively serving the Subleased Premises in a reasonably good and clean condition, in good working order and in compliance with the Incentive Agreements (including, but not limited to, interior walls, windows, Mechanical Systems, interior lighting, cabinets, doors, locks, paint, wall coverings and floor coverings), excluding ordinary wear and tear and damage caused by fire, casualty or any Taking.

(b)HVAC and Pest Control. During the Term, Subtenant shall retain: (i) a reputable and experienced contractor approved by Sublandlord, in writing, to conduct at least quarterly inspections and servicing of the HVAC systems exclusively serving the portions of the Subleased Premises located in the office building forming a part of the Project, including, but not limited to, at least quarterly filter changes, manufacturer recommended maintenance, and repairs determined to be necessary as a result of such inspections; and (ii) a reputable and experienced exterminator approved by Sublandlord, in writing, to perform at least quarterly inspections and treatments of the Subleased Premises to prevent pest infestations.

program. Subtenant shall provide Sublandlord with copies of the HVAC contracts and pest control contracts that it is required to maintain under this section and all reports or maintenance information generated pursuant thereto. For avoidance of doubt, a heating or air conditioning unit shall not be deemed to exclusively serve the Subleased Premises or Sublandlord’s Retained Space in warehouse areas since the same are not enclosed by demising walls.

(c)Sublandlord Obligations. Except for portions of the Project that Landlord is required to maintain, repair and replace under the Master Lease, Sublandlord shall perform all repairs and maintenance required to keep the Common Areas in a reasonably good and clean condition, in working order and in compliance with the Incentive Agreements (including, but not limited to, any HVAC systems and utility lines that do not exclusively serve the Subleased Premises or the Sublandlord’s Retained Space, parking lot lights, parking areas, access drives, sidewalks, exterior utility lines and facilities, sewer treatment facilities, back-up generators, water towers, landscaping, storm water drainage, detention and/or retention facilities, and signage), excluding ordinary wear and tear, damage caused by fire, casualty or any Taking, and utility lines and facilities to be maintained by any utility company. In addition, Sublandlord shall perform all maintenance and repairs to the roof of the Building that are Sublandlord’s responsibility under the Master Lease. The gas heating units located in the warehouse space forming a part of the Subleased Premises and the Sublandlord’s Retained Space are part of the Project Common Areas and shall be controlled by and maintained, repaired and replaced by Sublandlord. The cost of all repairs, maintenance and replacements performed by Sublandlord pursuant to this section may be included by Sublandlord in Shared Building Area Costs and Project Operating Costs, as applicable. If any repairs, maintenance or replacements are required to the Project as a result of damage caused by Subtenant or its Affiliates, agents, employees, contractors or representatives, excluding ordinary wear and tear and damage that is subject to the waiver set forth in Section 10(d), then Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord or Landlord, as applicable, for the third party actual, verifiable and reasonable cost of such repairs, maintenance or replacements, within sixty (60) days of Subtenant’s receipt of a written demand for the same, accompanied by reliable evidence of the costs for which reimbursement is sought.

(d)Self-Help. In the event Subtenant fails to make any repairs, maintenance or replacements that are its responsibility under this Section 8 or fails to maintain any contracts required under Section 8(b) and Subtenant does not cure such failure within thirty (30) days after Sublandlord notifies Subtenant of the need for the same, in writing, then Sublandlord may (but shall not be obligated to) cure such failure on behalf of Subtenant and enter upon the Subleased Premises to the extent necessary in connection therewith; provided, in cases of emergency or where such failure creates an imminent risk of personal injury or property damage, Sublandlord may (but shall not be obligated to) immediately cure such failure. Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord, on written demand, for all reasonable costs incurred by Sublandlord to cure any such failure, plus Subtenant shall pay Sublandlord an administrative fee equal to five percent (5%) of such costs.

(a)Equipment. To the extent of Sublandlord’s rights under the Master Lease without Landlord’s approval, Subtenant may, without obtaining Sublandlord’s approval, install all equipment that Subtenant deems necessary or desirable in connection with the Permitted Uses, whether now existing or hereafter developed, so long as the same do not exceed the load bearing capacity or otherwise materially and adversely damage the structure of the Building, Subtenant complies with all Applicable Laws, the Master Lease and the other terms of this Lease, Subtenant does not overload any utility or other system, Subtenant causes such equipment to be separately metered or sub-metered to the extent it is connected to any utility system, and such equipment will not have a material adverse effect on Sublandlord’s use of Sublandlord’s Retained Space or the Common Areas; provided Subtenant shall not alter the roof, foundation or other structural elements of the Building, unless Tenant obtains Sublandlord’s prior written approval as provided below. For avoidance of doubt and without limiting Subtenant’s rights under this Section 9(a),

Subtenant may, without obtaining Sublandlord’s consent, bolt its racking system to the floor slab in warehouse space that is part of the Subleased Premises; provided, Subtenant shall not materially damage the floor slab, Subtenant shall comply with the Master Lease and obtain any approvals from Landlord required thereunder, and Subtenant shall properly patch and restore the slab at the time any such racking is removed (and in all cases prior to the expiration or termination of this Lease). Prior to installing any equipment, Subtenant shall notify Sublandlord, in writing. If Sublandlord reasonably determines that Master Landlord’s consent is required for the installation of any equipment or related Alterations, Sublandlord may require that Subtenant obtain Landlord’s written consent before installing such equipment or making such Alterations.

(b)Subtenant Alterations. Additionally, without obtaining Sublandlord’s approval, Subtenant may make (i) changes to floor coverings, wall coverings and paint of the interior of the Subleased Premises, and (ii) interior, non-structural Alterations to the Subleased Premises in an amount that does not exceed the Alterations Threshold (defined below) on a per item or project basis and the same do not affect any Mechanical Systems serving other portions of the Project; provided, such Alterations shall not exceed the load bearing capacity or otherwise materially and adversely damage the structure of the Building, Subtenant shall comply with all Applicable Laws, the Master Lease and the other terms of this Lease, Subtenant shall not overload any utility or other system, Subtenant shall cause the same to be separately metered or sub-metered to the extent it is connected to any utility system, and such Alterations shall not have a material adverse effect on Sublandlord’s use of Sublandlord’s Retained Space or the Common Areas. The “Alterations Threshold” shall initially be One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) and shall increase as and when the Alterations Threshold shall increase under the Master Lease. Except as otherwise expressly provided above, Subtenant shall not make any Alterations to the Subleased Premises, unless Sublandlord has approved such Alterations, in writing, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, except Sublandlord may withhold approval of any Alterations that affect the foundation, structural elements or exterior of the Building or any Mechanical Systems serving areas outside the Subleased Premises. Prior to commencing any Alterations, Subtenant shall notify Sublandlord, in writing. If Sublandlord reasonably determines that Master Landlord’s consent is required for any Alterations, Sublandlord may require that Subtenant obtain Landlord’s written consent before it commences such Alterations and Sublandlord may condition its approval of any proposed Alterations on Subtenant obtaining Landlord’s written approval thereof. In no event shall Subtenant have the right to make any Alterations to or that affect the Common Areas or the foundation and structural elements of the Project. All Alterations undertaken by Subtenant: (i) must be completed by Subtenant in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with Applicable Laws, the Permitted Exceptions, the Incentive Agreements and the other terms of this Sublease; (ii) must be completed using new materials of good quality; (iii) must not exceed the load bearing capacity of the Building or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the structural integrity of the Building; and (iv) must not increase the load on any of the Mechanical Systems beyond their published load limits or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Mechanical Systems.

Subtenant shall complete all Alterations and equipment installations in a manner that does not interfere with Sublandlord’s operations at or use of the Project. If Sublandlord’s consent is required for any proposed Alterations under the other provisions of this section, Subtenant shall submit the construction plans and specifications for such Alterations to Sublandlord at the time Subtenant requests Sublandlord’s approval thereof and Subtenant shall complete such Alterations in accordance with the plans and specifications approved by Sublandlord. Subtenant shall pay the cost of its Alterations, when due.

(c)Roof Requirements. Subtenant shall not have the right to install any facilities on or make any Alterations to the roof of the Building, unless Subtenant obtains Sublandlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it shall be reasonable for Sublandlord to withhold such consent if Sublandlord reasonably determines that the installation or Alterations requested would not comply with all

Applicable Laws, void, violate or limit any roof warranty, not comply with the roof manufacturer’s recommendations and requirements, damage or exceed the load bearing capacity of the roof, or modify or adversely affect the structure of the roof. In the event that Sublandlord consents, in writing, to Subtenant installing any facilities on or making any Alterations to the roof of the Building, Subtenant shall: (i) cause the installation or Alteration to be completed in a good and workmanlike manner; (ii) comply with all Applicable Laws; (iii) not void, violate or limit any roof warranty; (iv) follow the roof manufacturer’s recommendations and requirements; (v) ensure the installation or Alteration does not damage or exceed the load bearing capacity of the roof; and (vi) obtain Sublandlord’s written approval of the contractor(s) who will perform the installation or Alteration, provided Sublandlord shall have the right to designate the contractor(s) that Subtenant must use to perform the installation or Alteration or Sublandlord may require that Subtenant obtain the roof manufacturer’s and Landlord’s approval of such contractor(s). Sublandlord may condition its approval of any such proposed installations or Alterations affecting the roof of the Building on Subtenant obtaining Landlord’s written approval thereof. If any warranty covering the roof is voided, violate or limited as a result of Subtenant’s acts, installations or Alterations, Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord and Landlord for the cost of all repairs and damages that it incurs which would have been covered by such warranty had the same not been so voided, violated or limited.

(d)No Liens . Notice is hereby given that Sublandlord and Landlord will not be liable for any work, services, materials or labor furnished to Subtenant, and no mechanic’s, materialmen’s or other lien arising or resulting from Subtenant’s acts or omissions (collectively, “Subtenant Liens”) shall attach to or affect Sublandlord’s or Landlord’s interest or estate in the Project. Subtenant shall keep the Project and its interest under this Sublease free and clear of all Subtenant Liens, including, but not limited to, liens for work, services, materials or labor furnished to Subtenant or alleged to have been so furnished. In the event Subtenant fails to discharge any Subtenant Lien encumbering the Project or Subtenant’s interest in this Sublease (by bonding, payment or other method) within twenty (20) days after the filing thereof, Sublandlord may (but shall not be obligated to) cause such lien to be released and discharged, in which event Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord for all costs it incurs in connection therewith, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees.

(a)Subtenant’s Insurance. Subject to the other terms hereof, throughout the Term, Subtenant shall maintain, at its sole cost and expense: (i) commercial liability insurance covering Subtenant’s activities and operations at the Project, with a combined single limit for bodily or personal injury, including (without limitation) death, of not less than Three Million and No/100 Dollars ($3,000,000.00) per occurrence and an aggregate limit for such insurance of not less than Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00); (ii) property insurance covering Subtenant’s furnishing, trade fixtures, equipment and other personal property at the Project, in an amount equal to at least one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement cost thereof, written on a “Causes of Loss, Special Form” basis or its equivalent (the “Subtenant Property Insurance”); (iii) business interruption insurance covering Subtenant’s business for at least twelve (12) months of operations; (iv) builder’s risk insurance in form and content satisfactory to Sublandlord during periods when any Alterations are being undertaken by or on behalf of Subtenant at the Project; (v) Workers Compensation insurance in compliance with Applicable Laws and with liability limits that satisfy all statutory requirements; and (vi) Employer’s Liability insurance with coverage of at least $1,000,000 per accident, $1,000,000 per person for disease and $2,000,000 policy limit for disease. Subtenant may satisfy the liability insurance requirements under this section, at Subtenant’s option, with the combination of a base liability insurance policy and an umbrella liability insurance policy. The insurance policies that Subtenant is required to obtain under this Sublease shall be issued by a reputable insurance company licensed to do business in the State of Missouri that have an A.M. Best Insurance Reports rating of at least A- (or its equivalent). Subtenant’s liability insurance shall name Sublandlord, Landlord, the County, and, upon Landlord’s written request, any Fee Mortgagee and Landlord’s property manager, if any, as additional insureds, and Subtenant’s builder’s risk insurance shall name Sublandlord as

loss payee. All insurance required under this section shall be consistently maintained without gaps in coverage. If Subtenant fails to maintain any of the insurance required under this Sublease, then Sublandlord or Landlord may (but shall have no obligation to) purchase such insurance, on behalf of Subtenant, in which event Subtenant shall reimburse Sublandlord or Landlord, as applicable, for the reasonable cost of such insurance, upon demand. Within ten (10) days after Sublandlord or Landlord’s written request, and in any event, before the expiration of the current policy, Subtenant shall provide Sublandlord and Landlord with certificates of insurance evidencing the insurance that Subtenant is required to maintain hereunder and appropriate renewals. No failure by Subtenant to maintain the insurance required hereunder shall relieve Subtenant of any liability hereunder. Subtenant shall cause the contractor or contractors performing any Alterations to obtain, and furnish Sublandlord with reliable evidence of, commercial general liability insurance coverage with liability limits for personal injury, death and property damage of not less than One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence and naming Sublandlord, Landlord, Landlord’s lender, property manager, and the County as Additional Insureds. Subtenant’s insurance shall provide primary coverage when any insurance policy issued to Sublandlord or Landlord provides duplicate or similar coverage. In no event shall the amount of Subtenant’s insurance coverage limit the liability of the Subtenant. Unless Sublandlord agrees otherwise, in writing, the deductibles under Subtenant’s insurance shall not exceed Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Subtenant hereby waives all claims that it may have against Sublandlord, Landlord and their respective Affiliates, owners, directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors and representatives for losses and damages that are actually covered by its insurance or that would have been covered had it maintained the insurance required under this Sublease. If possible on commercially reasonable terms, Subtenant shall cause the insurers issuing its insurance to waive all of their subrogation rights against Sublandlord, Landlord and their respective Affiliates, owners, directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors and representatives and shall supply Sublandlord and Landlord with appropriate evidence confirming that such waiver is in effect. For the purposes of this section, Subtenant shall be deemed to be insured against losses and damages that are within the deductible of any of its insurance policies. The provisions of this section shall apply to claims regardless of cause or origin, including, without limitation, claims arising due to negligence.

(d)Sublandlord’s Waiver of Insured Claims/Waiver of Subrogation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Sublandlord hereby waives all claims that it may have against Subtenant and its Affiliates, owners, directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors and representatives for losses and damages that are actually covered by Sublandlord’s insurance or that would have been covered had it maintained the insurance required under this Sublease. If possible on commercially reasonable terms, Sublandlord shall cause the insurers issuing its insurance to waive all of their subrogation rights against Subtenant and shall supply Subtenant with appropriate evidence confirming that such waiver is in effect. For the purposes of this section, Sublandlord shall be deemed to be insured against losses and damages that are within the deductible of any of its insurance policies.

(a)Restoration. If any portion of the Project is damaged by fire or other casualty and the Master Lease is not terminated by either Sublandlord or Landlord in accordance with the terms thereof, then Sublandlord shall diligently perform all repairs and replacements necessary to restore the Project to the condition existing immediately prior to such fire or casualty in accordance with the terms of the Master Lease, subject to delays caused by any Event of Force Majeure; provided, (i) Subtenant shall be solely responsible for restoring or replacing Subtenant’s furnishing, trade fixtures, equipment and other personal property at the Project, (ii) Sublandlord shall have the right to make Alterations to the Project to the extent required to comply with Applicable Laws, and (iii) Sublandlord shall have the right to make Alterations to the Sublandlord’s Retained Space permitted under the Master Lease or approved by Landlord.

In no event shall there be a reduction in the Base Rent due to a Taking of any areas outside the Subleased Premises or any Condemnation Restoration Work related to such areas.

(d)Awards. All awards paid on account of any Taking of the Project shall be allocated between Landlord and Sublandlord in accordance with the terms of this Master Lease and Subtenant shall not be entitled to any portion thereof; provided, if any amounts are expressly awarded on account of Subtenant’s moving expenses or Subtenant’s Alterations to the Subleases Premises and Sublandlord receives such amounts under Master Lease, then Subtenant shall be entitled to such amounts.

(a)Assignment and Subletting. Subtenant shall not assign this Sublease or sublet any portion of the Subleased Premises, unless Subtenant has obtained Sublandlord’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld by Sublandlord in its sole and absolute discretion.

Except to the extent expressly permitted hereunder, Subtenant shall not allow any other Person to occupy the Subleased Premises (or any portion thereof). Sublandlord’s consent to an assignment or subletting shall not be deemed a consent to any subsequent assignment or subletting. Sublandlord shall have the right to collect the rent payable by any subtenant of Subtenant and apply the same to Subtenant’s obligations under this Sublease, and no further instruments shall be required for Sublandlord to exercise such right; provided Subtenant agrees to execute any instruments reasonably requested by Sublandlord for the purposes of allowing it to collect such rents.

(c)No Disqualified Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event shall this Sublease by assigned to any Disqualified Person without the prior written approval of Sublandlord, which approval may be granted or withheld by Sublandlord in its sole and absolute discretion.

(d)No Release. Notwithstanding any assignment of this Sublease or subletting of the Subleased Premises, Subtenant shall remain primarily responsible for the satisfaction of its obligations and liabilities hereunder, and such responsibility shall not be limited, affected, diminished or discharged by any event whatsoever, including, but not limited to, the compromise or settlement (with or without release) of any other person or entity liable for the payment of Subtenant’s liabilities and/or the performance of Subtenant’s obligations under this Sublease, Sublandlord’s failure to file suit against any assignee of Subtenant (regardless of whether such assignee is becoming insolvent, is believed to be about to leave the state or any other circumstance), Sublandlord’s failure to give Subtenant notice of any default, the unenforceability of any provision of this Sublease against an assignee of Subtenant due to bankruptcy discharge or otherwise, Sublandlord’s failure to insist upon the strict performance of the terms of this Sublease, the extension, modification or amendment of this Sublease, any subsequent assignment of this Sublease or subletting of the Subleased Premises (whether or not consented to by Sublandlord) or Sublandlord’s failure to exercise diligence in collection.

In the event Sublandlord is successful in reletting the Subleased Premises at a rental in excess of that agreed to be paid by Subtenant pursuant to the terms of this Sublease, Sublandlord shall be entitled to retain such excess, provided any such excess that is allocable to periods falling within the Term shall be first applied to pay the costs Sublandlord incurs to relet the Subleased Premises (including, without limitation, costs and expenses that Sublandlord incurs to effect compliance with Subtenant’s obligations under this Sublease, the costs Sublandlord incurs to recover possession of the Subleased Premises, the brokerage commissions, advertising costs and other similar expenses Sublandlord incurs to relet the Subleased Premises, and the cost of Alterations to the Subleased Premises paid for by Sublandlord) and then to reduce any other amounts Subtenant owes Sublandlord hereunder.

(iv)Pursue any other remedy available at law or in equity, subject to the limitations set forth in the other provisions of this Sublease.

The foregoing remedies are cumulative and non-exclusive, and the exercise by Sublandlord of any of its remedies under this Sublease shall not prevent the subsequent exercise by Sublandlord of any other remedies provided herein. All remedies provided for in this Sublease may, at the election of Sublandlord, be exercised alternatively, successively, or in any other manner. Sublandlord shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate the damages it suffers that arise out of or result from a Subtenant Default. In no event shall Subtenant be liable to Sublandlord for any punitive or exemplary damages as a result of its default under this Sublease. No provision of this Sublease shall be deemed to have been waived by Sublandlord, unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Sublandlord. No custom or practice between the parties in connection with the terms of this Sublease shall be construed to waive or lessen Sublandlord’s right to insist upon strict performance of the terms hereof.

(a)Events of Sublandlord Default. Sublandlord shall be deemed in default under this Sublease (a “Sublandlord Default”) if, but only if: (i) Sublandlord fails to comply with any of the terms of this Sublease and such failure is not cured by Sublandlord within thirty (30) days after Subtenant gives written notice of such failure to Sublandlord, provided if such failure cannot reasonably be cured within the aforementioned thirty (30) day period, then no Sublandlord Default shall be deemed to have occurred so long as Sublandlord commences to cure such failure within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice from Subtenant and completes such cure within a reasonable time thereafter; or (ii) the Master Lease is terminated due to any default thereunder by Sublandlord not caused by or resulting from Subtenant’s default under this Sublease or any acts or omissions of Subtenant or any of its Affiliates, employees, agents, subtenants, contractors, representatives, guests or invitees.

(b)Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Sublandlord Default, Subtenant may terminate this Sublease. The rights and remedies granted to Subtenant under this section shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the rights and remedies available to Subtenant at law or in equity on account of any Sublandlord Default; provided, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event shall Sublandlord be liable for consequential, exemplary or punitive damages or lost profits as a result of its default under this Sublease. Subtenant shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate the damages it suffers that arise out of or result from a Sublandlord Default.

(c)Self-Help. If Sublandlord fails to make any repairs, maintenance or replacements to the Subleased Premises or the Common Area that are Sublandlord’s express responsibility under this Sublease and such failure has a material adverse effect on Subtenant’s operations in the Subleased Premises, then Subtenant may perform such repairs, maintenance and replacements unless Sublandlord commences the same within two (2) Business Days after receiving written notice from Subtenant; provided, if the conditions giving rise to the need for such repairs or replacements create an imminent and material risk of personal injury or property damage at the Subleased Premises, then Subtenant may undertake such repairs, maintenance or replacements after endeavoring, in good faith, to contact Sublandlord regarding the need for the same, unless Sublandlord agrees to immediately begin diligent efforts to complete such repairs, maintenance or replacements. If Subtenant undertakes any repairs, maintenance or replacements pursuant to this Section 16(c) that are Landlord’s responsibility under this Sublease, then Sublandlord shall reimburse Subtenant for the reasonable costs that Subtenant incurs in connection therewith. If Sublandlord fails to pay any amounts that it owes Subtenant under this Section 16(c) within thirty (30) days after Sublandlord’s receipt of a written invoice for such amount from Subtenant, then Subtenant shall have the right to deduct such amounts from the Base Rent until it is fully reimbursed for such amount; provided, (i) in no event shall such deductions exceed fifty percent (50%) of any installment of Base Rent due hereunder, and (ii) Subtenant shall not have the right to deduct any such amount to the extent Sublandlord notifies Subtenant, in writing, that Sublandlord disputes the same until such dispute is resolved by written agreement signed by Sublandlord and Subtenant or a final and unappealable court order.

(a)Except to the extent caused by Sublandlord, Landlord or any of their respective agents, employees, contractors or representatives, Subtenant shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sublandlord and Landlord from and against all claims, demands, lawsuits, liabilities, losses, damages, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses) arising or resulting from: (i) Subtenant’s use of the Subleased Premises; or (ii) any act, negligence or willful misconduct of Subtenant or any of its Affiliates, employees, agents, subtenants, contractors, representatives, guests or invitees in or about the Project.

(b)Except to the extent caused by Subtenant, Landlord or any of their respective agents, employees, contractors or representatives, Sublandlord shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Subtenant from and against all third-party claims and resulting demands, lawsuits, liabilities, and losses arising or resulting from the use of the Common Areas by Sublandlord or any of its Affiliates, employees, agents, subtenants, contractors, representatives, guests or invitees. Sublandlord shall not have the right to make any admission or statement on behalf of any party that it is required to indemnify under this section or to bind any such indemnified party without its prior written approval, which approval may be withheld in the indemnified party’s sole and absolute discretion.

(c)The provisions of this section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Sublease.

18.Waiver. Except to the extent caused by the affirmative negligent act or willful misconduct of Sublandlord or Sublandlord Default, Subtenant hereby expressly waives and releases all claims it may, now or hereafter, have against Sublandlord and any of its owners, directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors and representatives as a result of any injury, damage to property, or interruption of Subtenant’s use of the Subleased Premises or Common Area caused by (i) wind, water, flooding, snow, ice, act of God or act of nature, (ii) any interruption of utility service, (iii) any defect in the Subleased Premises or Project (latent or otherwise), (iv) any failure of a mechanical system, electrical system, plumbing system or heating and air conditioning system, (v) the backing up of any sewer pipe or downspout, or (vi) the bursting, breaking, leaking or running of any tank, tub, washstand, water closet, drain or pipe.

If any provision of this Sublease is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Sublease will not be affected, and in lieu of each provision that is found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, a provision will be added as a part of this Sublease that is as similar to the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.
