ATLIS MOTOR VEHICLES INC.] 16 Section 5.05 Indemnity. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect 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) and Landlord’s property manager from any and all costs, claims, loss, damage, expense and liability (including without limitation court costs, litigation expenses, and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with or arising from: (a) Tenant’s use of the Property and the Common Areas, including, but not limited to, those arising from any accident, incident, injury or damage, however and by whomsoever caused (except to the extent of any claim arising out of Landlord’s gross negligence or willful misconduct), to any person or property occurring in or about the Property; (b) the conduct of Tenant’s business or anything else done or permitted by Tenant to be done in or about the Property; (c) any breach or default in the performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; (d) any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by Tenant under this Lease; or (e) other acts or omissions of Tenant. 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 Property to (i) inspect it; (ii) show the Property to prospective purchasers, mortgagees or tenants, or to the ground or underlying lessors; (iii) post notices of non-responsibility; (iv) alter, improve or repair the Property; or (v) place “For Sale” and “For Lease” signs on the Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.06, Landlord may enter the Property at any time to (A) perform services required of Landlord; (B) take possession due to any breach of this Lease, in the manner provided in this Lease, and consistent with Applicable Law; and (C) perform any covenants of Tenant which Tenant fails to perform. 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. Tenant hereby waives any claims for damages or for any injuries or inconvenience to or interference with Tenant’s business, lost profits, any loss of occupancy or quiet enjoyment of the Property, and any other loss occasioned thereby. 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 Property. Any entry into the Property in the manner described above shall not be deemed to be a forcible or unlawful entry into, or a detainer of, the Property, or an actual or constructive eviction of Tenant from any portion of the Property. Section 5.07 Vehicle Parking. Tenant shall be entitled to use of the unreserved, non-exclusive automobile parking spaces in the Property as shown on Exhibit “A” attached hereto. Tenant’s parking shall be on a “first come, first serve” basis and shall be limited to vehicles no larger than standard size automobiles or pickup utility vehicles. Tenant shall not allow large trucks or other large vehicles to be parked within the Building (other than in designated areas) or on the adjacent public streets; provided, however, that the parking or storing of large trucks and other commercial vehicles is allowed in front of, adjacent and perpendicular to Tenant’s dock high loading doors at the Property, so as to be on the concrete apron adjacent to such doors, or in other areas specifically designated by Landlord for such purpose. Temporary parking of large delivery vehicles at the Building may be permitted by the rules and regulations established by Landlord. Vehicles shall be parked only in striped parking spaces and not in driveways, loading areas or other locations not specifically designated for parking. Handicapped spaces shall only be used by those legally permitted to use them. If Tenant parks more vehicles in the parking area than as permitted above or parks outside the designated parking area shown on Exhibit “A”, then such conduct shall be a material breach of this Lease. In addition to Landlord’s other remedies under this Lease, Tenant shall pay a daily charge determined by Landlord for each such additional vehicle. 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 Property for the Lease Term against any party claiming by, through or under Landlord, subject to the provisions of this Lease. ARTICLE SIX CONDITION OF PROPERTY; MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS Section 6.01 Existing Conditions. Tenant accepts the Property in its “as-is” condition as of the earlier of Tenant’s occupancy of the Property or the Lease Commencement Date, subject to all recorded matters, laws, ordinances, and governmental regulations and orders. 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 Property, the Building, 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 DocuSign Envelope ID: 0ADF0948780F2365--FD088BD9--448F1378--88A08D76--0BDB545B889EA087AA37B41F Industrial Lease v6\MH\kh\03450-002 1828 North Higley Road, Suite ___, Mesa, AZ February 12, 2020 [ATLIS MOTOR VEHICLES INC.] 17 representation of suitability. Tenant represents and warrants that Tenant has made its own inspection of and inquiry regarding the condition of the Property (or has had the opportunity to do so) and is not relying on any representations of Landlord or any Broker 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 Property, 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 Property or upon other portions of the Building, or from other sources or places; (d) criminal acts or entry by unauthorized persons into the Property or the building on the Property; or (e) any act or omission of any other tenant of Landlord. 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) Subject to the provisions of Article Seven (Damage or Destruction) and Article Eight (Condemnation), and except for damage caused by any act or omission of Tenant, or Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors or invitees, or as a result of Tenant’s alterations, Landlord shall keep the foundation and the structural portions of the (i) roof and (ii) exterior walls of the Property in good order, condition and repair (provided that Tenant maintains such items in accordance with a first class industrial building). The above-referenced items shall be at Landlord’s sole cost and expense. Landlord shall, as necessary, (i) maintain, repair and replace the roof membrane; (ii) paint the exterior walls of the building on the Property; and (iii) slurry-seal and stripe the asphalt portion of the truck court and the parking lot. During the Initial Lease Term, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for (a) all costs paid by Landlord for subsections (i) and (ii) above; and (b) the amount, if any, of the cost of subsection (iii) in excess of the Asphalt Reserve collected by Landlord pursuant to Section 4.05(a). During the Extension and/or any extension of the Lease Term beyond the Initial Lease Term, Tenant shall reimburse Landlord the amount, if any, of the cost of subsections (i), (ii) and/or (iii) above in excess of the Reserves collected by Landlord pursuant to Section 4.05(a) for such item, as applicable. In addition and during the Lease Term, Landlord shall be responsible for any asphalt repairs and/or repaving the paved areas and/or concrete repairs and/or replacements and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such costs. All costs required to be paid pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall be paid within ten (10) days of Landlord’s written request accompanied by supporting documentation for such cost. Landlord, however, shall not be obligated to maintain or repair floor, windows, doors, plate glass or surfaces of exterior walls. Landlord shall not be obligated to make any repairs under this Section 6.03 until a reasonable time after written receipt from Tenant of the need for such repairs. Tenant waives the benefit of any present or future law which might give Tenant the right to repair the Property at Landlord’s expense or to terminate this Lease because of the condition of the Property. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall, at Landlord’s expense, cause the warehouse floors to be broom-swept and the existing plumbing, lighting, air conditioning, heating, and ventilating systems, fire sprinkler system, and loading doors in the Property (collectively, the “Warranted Items”), to be in good operating condition on the date Tenant first enters the Property. Upon written request from Tenant received within ninety (90) days of the date Tenant first enters the Property, Landlord shall repair any Warranted Items not delivered in good operating condition unless such repairs are required due to the acts or omissions of Tenant or as a result of alterations, additions or improvements to the Property made by Tenant or for Tenant. Landlord shall be deemed to have delivered the Property in the condition required by this Section 6.03 unless Tenant gives Landlord written notice and sets forth with specificity the nature and extent of any items requiring repair, within ninety (90) days after the date Tenant first enters the Property. 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 Property that is the subject of Common Area Costs, 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 Property (including nonstructural, interior, exterior, systems and equipment) in good order, condition and repair. If any portion of the Property or any system or equipment in the Property that Tenant is obligated to repair cannot be fully repaired or restored (in Landlord’s judgment), Tenant shall promptly replace (subject to Landlord’s right to undertake such responsibility) such portion of the Property or system or DocuSign Envelope ID: 0ADF0948780F2365--FD088BD9--448F1378--88A08D76--0BDB545B889EA087AA37B41F Industrial Lease v6\MH\kh\03450-002 1828 North Higley Road, Suite ___, Mesa, AZ February 12, 2020 [ATLIS MOTOR VEHICLES INC.] 18 equipment in the Property. The cost of such replacement shall be amortized (using a rate of interest reasonably determined by Landlord) 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 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 preventive maintenance service contract providing for the regular inspection and maintenance of the Property’s 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. Landlord shall have the right, upon written notice to Tenant, to undertake the responsibility for preventive maintenance of all or a portion of the HVAC Systems at Tenant’s expense, the cost of which shall be paid by Tenant as Additional Rent. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary in this Section 6.04(a), Tenant shall pay the full cost of such repair or replacement of the HVAC Systems and is not entitled to the benefit of the Useful Life Allocation if Tenant has failed to obtain and maintain the preventive maintenance contracts for the HVAC Systems, as required above (and assuming Landlord has not elected to do so). If any part of the Property or the Building is damaged by any act or omission of Tenant (such as damage to the floor slab caused by overloading), Tenant shall pay Landlord the cost of repairing or replacing such damaged property, whether or not Landlord would otherwise be obligated to pay the cost of maintaining or repairing such property and without the benefit of the Useful Life Allocation. It is the intention of Landlord and Tenant that, at all times during the Lease Term, Tenant shall maintain the Property 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 to Landlord the cost to repair any damage caused by the transportation and storage of its products in, on, or about the Property, including, but not limited to any damage to the Property’s 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 on the Property shall not include any damage or deterioration that could have been prevented by good maintenance practice or by Tenant performing all of its obligations under this Lease. Tenant’s payment obligation described in the immediately preceding sentence shall include the cost of replacement of any damaged areas of the Property or the Building, 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 Property 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 Property 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, plus an administration fee equal to fifteen percent (15%) of such amount. Section 6.05 Alterations, Additions, and Improvements. (a) Tenant shall not make any alterations, additions, or improvements to the Property (“Tenant’s Alterations”) without Landlord’s prior written consent, except that no consent shall be required for non-structural interior alterations that (i) do not exceed Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) in cost; (ii) are not visible from the outside of the building on the Property; and (iii) do not alter or penetrate the floor slab or the roof membrane. Landlord may require Tenant to provide demolition and/or lien and completion bonds in form and amount satisfactory to Landlord. Tenant shall promptly remove any Tenant’s Alterations constructed in violation of this Section 6.05(a) upon Landlord’s written request. All Tenant’s Alterations shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner, in conformity with all Applicable Laws, and all contractors and subcontractors shall be approved by Landlord. Upon completion of any such work, Tenant shall provide Landlord with “as built” plans, copies of all construction contracts, and proof of payment for all labor and materials. 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 on the Property. 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 Property or alleged to have been furnished to or for Tenant at or for use of the Property. Tenant shall give Landlord at least twenty (20) days’ prior written notice of the commencement of any work on the Property, regardless of whether Landlord’s consent to such work is required. If so provided, Tenant agrees to promptly sign and return the Notice and Acknowledgment to Landlord; provided, however, that Tenant acknowledges and agrees that under no circumstances shall such Notice and DocuSign Envelope ID: 0ADF0948780F2365--FD088BD9--448F1378--88A08D76--0BDB545B889EA087AA37B41F Industrial Lease v6\MH\kh\03450-002 1828 North Higley Road, Suite ___, Mesa, AZ February 12, 2020 [ATLIS MOTOR VEHICLES INC.] 19 Acknowledgement or the terms of this Section 6.05 be construed as Landlord’s consent to or approval of any Tenant’s Alterations. Landlord may elect to record and post notices of non-responsibility on the Property. (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) Landlord’s prior written approval of the time or times when Tenant’s Alterations are to be made; (iii) Landlord’s prior written approval of the contractors and subcontractors performing Tenant’s Alterations; (iv) Tenant’s written notice of whether Tenant’s Alterations include the use or handling of any Hazardous Materials; (v) 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); (vi) 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; and (vii) Tenant’s payment to Landlord of all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord because of Tenant’s Alterations, including, but not limited to, costs incurred in reviewing the plans and specifications for, and the progress of, Tenant’s Alterations, and costs of engaging outside consultants (whether for structural engineering review or otherwise). (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 Property or the Building, 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 Property or the Building, 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, 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. Landlord may require Tenant to pay Landlord's attorneys' fees and costs incurred while participating in such action if Landlord shall decide it is in its best interest to so participate. 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 on the Property, or relate in any way to life safety matters, including, but not limited to, the Property’s or 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. Moreover, Tenant agrees to use contractors and subcontractors selected by Landlord for the construction of any and all permitted Structural and Safety Alterations, and for any work involving possible roof penetrations (so as to ensure that any such work is performed properly and does not render any applicable roof warranty void or voidable). (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. (g) All door access system hardware shall be installed such that the door and frame can be restored back to their original condition if door access control hardware components are removed. Section 6.06 Condition upon Termination. Upon the termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Property 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 DocuSign Envelope ID: 0ADF0948780F2365--FD088BD9--448F1378--88A08D76--0BDB545B889EA087AA37B41F Industrial Lease v6\MH\kh\03450-002 1828 North Higley Road, Suite ___, Mesa, AZ February 12, 2020 [ATLIS MOTOR VEHICLES INC.] 20 repair under Sections 4.05 and 6.03 above or Article Seven (Damage or Destruction) below. In addition, Landlord may require Tenant to remove any Tenant’s Alterations (whether or not made with Landlord’s consent) prior to the expiration of this Lease and to restore the Property to its prior condition, all at Tenant’s expense. 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 Property. Tenant shall repair, at Tenant’s expense, any damage to the Property caused by the removal of any such machinery, equipment or other personal property (including, without limitation, the complete removal of all studs and bolts that penetrate the walls and filling and patching the holes). 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; lighting and lighting fixtures; wall coverings; 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 Sign. If Tenant fails, by the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease Term, to restore the Property 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, plus an administration fee equal to fifteen percent (15%) of such amount, in addition to any other remedy Landlord may have under this Lease or Applicable Law for such breach. If Tenant fails to surrender the Property to Landlord upon termination of this Lease in the condition required by this Section 6.06, including, without limitation, the completion of any remediation work required under Section 5.03 above, such failure shall constitute a holdover for purposes of Section 2.04 above. 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 on the Property, for any purposes whatsoever, without the prior written consent of, coordination with, and supervision of Landlord or its selected agents or contractors. Section 6.08 Floor Load Limits. Tenant shall not place a load upon any floor of the Property exceeding the floor load per square foot area which it was designed to carry and which is allowed by law. Landlord reserves the right to prescribe the weight and position of all safes, machinery and mechanical equipment in the building on the Property. Such installations shall be placed and maintained by Tenant, at Tenant’s expense, in settings sufficient, in Landlord’s judgment, to absorb and prevent vibration, noise and annoyance to other occupants of the Building. Section 6.09 Floor Bolts. Prior to anchoring any racking or equipment to the floor of the Property, Tenant shall drill the holes for any anchor bolts to a depth that is one inch (1”) deeper than normally required for such anchoring mechanism. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall cut the top of the anchor bolts, pound the remaining bolt into the one inch (1”) space described above, and pour epoxy filler into the existing hole so that the epoxy filler is flush with the floor, all at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. ARTICLE SEVEN DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION Section 7.01 Damage or Destruction to the Property. (a) Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing (“Damage Notice”) immediately upon the occurrence of any damage to the Property. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01(c) and Section 7.01(d) below, if the insurance proceeds received by Landlord from the insurance policies described in Section 4.04(b) above 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 Alterations or to Tenant's fixtures, machinery, equipment, or other personal property (collectively, "Tenant's Property"). In the absence of such an election, Tenant shall be solely responsible for the repair, replacement and restoration of Tenant’s Alterations and Tenant's Property and shall promptly commence such work and diligently pursue the same to completion, unless this Lease is terminated as provided in this Article Seven. (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 Section 4.04(b) above, 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 the Damage Notice whether Landlord elects to repair the damage or terminate this Lease. If Landlord elects to repair the damage and notwithstanding Section 4.04(d)(iv) above, Tenant shall pay to Landlord DocuSign Envelope ID: 0ADF0948780F2365--FD088BD9--448F1378--88A08D76--0BDB545B889EA087AA37B41F Industrial Lease v6\MH\kh\03450-002 1828 North Higley Road, Suite ___, Mesa, AZ February 12, 2020 [ATLIS MOTOR VEHICLES INC.] 21 (i) Tenant’s Pro Rata Share of the deductible amount under Landlord’s insurance policies (which deductible amount shall not exceed $10,000.00), and (ii) if the damage is due to an act or omission of Tenant or Tenant’s employees, agents, contractors or invitees, the entirety of any such deductible amount. 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 the building on the Property in a manner satisfactory to Landlord to restore the Property and building on the Property to the condition generally existing immediately before the damage or destruction. Tenant shall pay the cost of such repairs, except that upon satisfactory completion of such repairs, Landlord shall deliver to Tenant any insurance proceeds received by Landlord (but expressly excluding any proceeds received by Landlord’s lender) for the damage repaired by Tenant. Tenant shall give Landlord written notice of such election within ten (10) days after receiving Landlord’s termination notice. (c) If the repairs to the Property are estimated to require more than one hundred eighty (180) days from Landlord’s receipt of insurance proceeds and building permits (the “Repair Period”) to be Substantially Completed, then either Landlord or Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease in a manner consistent with this Section 7.01(c). In the event of damage to the Property, Landlord shall have the right to provide Tenant with a written notice, or Tenant shall have the right, at any time after providing Landlord with a Damage Notice pursuant to Section 7.01(a) above, to request in writing that Landlord deliver to Tenant a written notice (in each case, the “Contractor Certificate”), certifying to both Landlord and Tenant, in the reasonable opinion of Landlord’s contractor, the amount of time required to Substantially Complete the repair of the Property. If, in the Contractor Certificate, the contractor certifies that the repair of the Property will take a period in excess of the Repair Period to be Substantially Completed, then within five (5) days after the delivery of the Contractor Certificate to Tenant, Tenant or Landlord may terminate this Lease by delivering written notice of such termination to the other party within such five (5) day period, and this Lease shall be terminated as of the date of the other party’s receipt of such written notice of termination. Notwithstanding the above, Tenant shall not have any right to terminate this Lease under this Section 7.01 if the damage to the Property was caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors, or invitees. (d) If the damage to the Property occurs during the last one hundred eighty (180) days of the Lease Term and such damage will require more than thirty (30) days to Substantially Complete the repair, then 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, pursuant to this Section 7.01(d), shall give written notification to the other party of such election within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s Damage Notice. (e) As used in this Section 7.01, “Substantial Completion” or “Substantially Complete” (or similar phrase) means such work is completed, except for minor items of work (e.g., pick-up work, etc.) that can be completed with only minor interference with Tenant’s conduct of business at the Property. Section 7.02 Temporary Reduction of Rent. If the Property is destroyed or damaged and Landlord or Tenant repairs or restores the Property 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 reduced according to the degree, if any, to which Tenant’s use of the Property is impaired. However, the reduction shall not exceed the sum of one year’s payment of Base Rent, Real Property Taxes, insurance premiums, Common Area Costs and Maintenance Services Costs. Except for such possible reduction in Base Rent and recurring Additional Rent, 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 Property. If such destruction or damage was caused by the acts or omissions of Tenant or its agents, employees, contractors, or invitees, there will be no abatement of rent. Section 7.03 Waiver. Tenant waives the protection of any statute, code or judicial decision which may grant to Tenant the right to terminate a lease in the event of the destruction of the Property. Tenant agrees that the provisions of Article Seven above shall govern the rights and obligations of Landlord and Tenant in the event of any destruction of the Property. ARTICLE EIGHT CONDEMNATION If all or any portion of the Property is taken under the power of eminent domain or sold under the threat of that power (all of which are called “Condemnation”), 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 building on the Property or such other material portion of either the Property or Common Areas is taken and Tenant cannot reasonably continue to conduct its business at the Property, either Landlord or Tenant may terminate this Lease as of DocuSign Envelope ID: 0ADF0948780F2365--FD088BD9--448F1378--88A08D76--0BDB545B889EA087AA37B41F Industrial Lease v6\MH\kh\03450-002 1828 North Higley Road, Suite ___, Mesa, AZ February 12, 2020 [ATLIS MOTOR VEHICLES INC.] 22 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 Property not taken, except that the Base Rent and Additional Rent shall be reduced in proportion to the reduction in the floor area of the Property. Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire award or payment in connection therewith, except that Tenant shall have the right to file any separate claim available to Tenant for any taking of Tenant’s personal property and fixtures belonging to Tenant and removable by Tenant upon expiration of the Lease Term pursuant to the terms of this Lease, and for moving expenses, so long as such claim does not diminish the award available to Landlord, its ground lessor with respect to the real property or its lender, and such claim is payable separately to Tenant. If this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall repair any damage to the Property 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. 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, 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 Property 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 Property to be transferred (the “Subject Space”), (iii) all of the terms of the proposed Transfer and the consideration therefor, including a calculation of the “Transfer Premium,” as that term is defined in Section 9.03 below, 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 information required by Landlord, which will enable Landlord to determine the financial responsibility, character, and reputation of the proposed Transferee, nature of such Transferee’s business and proposed use of the Subject Space, and such other information as Landlord may reasonably require. Any Transfer requiring but made without Landlord’s prior written consent shall, at Landlord’s option, be null, void and of no effect, and shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a material default by Tenant under this Lease. Whether or not Landlord shall grant consent, Tenant shall pay Landlord’s review and processing fees, as well as any reasonable legal fees incurred by Landlord in connection with such review, within thirty (30) days after written request by Landlord. Section 9.02 Landlord’s Consent. Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to any proposed Transfer involving an assignment or subletting 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 character or reputation is significantly less prestigious than that of Tenant; 9.02.2 The Transferee’s business or use of the Subject Space is not permitted under this Lease; 9.02.3 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; 9.02.4 The proposed Transfer would cause Landlord to be in violation of another lease or agreement to which Landlord is a party; 9.02.5 The terms of the proposed Transfer will allow the Transferee to exercise a right of renewal, right of expansion, right of first offer, or other similar right held by Tenant (or will allow the Transferee to occupy space leased by Tenant pursuant to any such right); DocuSign Envelope ID: 0ADF0948780F2365--FD088BD9--448F1378--88A08D76--0BDB545B889EA087AA37B41F Industrial Lease v6\MH\kh\03450-002 1828 North Higley Road, Suite ___, Mesa, AZ February 12, 2020 [ATLIS MOTOR VEHICLES INC.] 23 9.02.6 A default of Tenant under this Lease is then pending; 9.02.7 Landlord or its leasing agent has received a proposal from or made a proposal to the proposed Transferee to lease space in the Building within six (6) months prior to Tenant's Transfer Notice; or 9.02.8 The proposed Transferee or an Affiliate of the proposed Transferee is already a tenant in the Building. 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 Property 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 Transfer Premium. In the event of a Transfer requiring Landlord’s consent, if Landlord consents to such a Transfer, as a condition thereto which the parties hereby agree is reasonable, Tenant shall pay to Landlord fifty percent (50%) of any “Transfer Premium,” as that term is defined in this Section 9.03, received by Tenant from such Transferee. “Transfer Premium” shall mean all rent, additional rent or other consideration payable by such Transferee in excess of the Base Rent and Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease on a per rentable square foot basis if less than all of the Property is transferred. “Transfer Premium” shall also include, but not be limited to, key money and bonus money paid by Transferee to Tenant in connection with such Transfer, and any payment in excess of fair market value for services rendered by Tenant to Transferee or for assets, fixtures, inventory, equipment, or furniture transferred by Tenant to Transferee in connection with such Transfer. Section 9.04 Landlord’s Option as to Subject Space. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article Nine, Landlord shall have the option, by giving written notice to Tenant within thirty (30) days after receipt of any Transfer Notice pertaining to an assignment or subletting, to recapture the Subject Space. Such recapture notice shall cancel and terminate this Lease with respect to the Subject Space as of the effective date of the proposed Transfer until the last day of the term of the Transfer as set forth in the Transfer Notice. In the event of a recapture by Landlord, if this Lease shall be canceled with respect to less than the entire Property, the Rent reserved herein shall be prorated on the basis of the number of rentable square feet retained by Tenant in proportion to the number of rentable square feet contained in the Property, and this Lease as so amended shall continue thereafter in full force and effect, and upon request of either party, the parties shall execute written confirmation of the same. In the event of a recapture, Landlord may, if it elects, enter into a new lease covering the Subject Space with the intended Transferee on such terms as Landlord and such person or entity may agree or enter into a new lease covering the Subject Space with any other person or entity; in such event, Tenant shall not be entitled to any portion of the Transfer Premium, if any, which Landlord may realize on account of such termination and reletting. Section 9.05 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) Tenant shall furnish upon Landlord’s request a complete statement, certified by an independent certified public accountant, or Tenant’s chief financial officer, setting forth in detail the computation of any Transfer Premium Tenant has derived and shall derive from such Transfer, and (v) 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. If the Transfer Premium respecting any Transfer shall be found understated, Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days after demand, pay the deficiency and Landlord’s costs of such audit, and if understated by more than ten percent (10%), Landlord shall have the right to cancel this Lease upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Tenant. Section 9.06 Additional Transfers. For purposes of this Lease, the term “Transfer” shall also include: (i) if Tenant is a partnership, the cumulative withdrawal or change, voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the partners, or the cumulative transfer of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of partnership interests, within a twelve (12)-month period, or the dissolution of the partnership without immediate reconstitution thereof; (ii) if Tenant is a closely held corporation (i.e., whose stock is not publicly held and not traded through an exchange or over the counter), (A) the dissolution, merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Tenant, (B) the sale or other transfer of DocuSign Envelope ID: 0ADF0948780F2365--FD088BD9--448F1378--88A08D76--0BDB545B889EA087AA37B41F Industrial Lease v6\MH\kh\03450-002 1828 North Higley Road, Suite ___, Mesa, AZ February 12, 2020 [ATLIS MOTOR VEHICLES INC.] 24 more than an aggregate of twenty-five percent (25%) of the voting shares of Tenant (other than to immediate family members by reason of gift or death), within a twelve (12)-month period, or (C) the sale, mortgage, hypothecation or pledge of more than an aggregate of twenty-five percent (25%) of the value of the unencumbered assets of Tenant within a twelve (12) month period; and (iii) if Tenant is a limited liability company, any cumulative transfer of more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the membership interests. In addition to those types of Transfers specified above in this Article Nine, (i) any change to the form of tenant entity or any use of the Property by an individual or entity other than Tenant, whether pursuant to a license or concession, or otherwise, and (ii) any reduction of twenty-five percent (25%) or more in the tangible net worth of Tenant resulting from a transaction or series of transactions (whether merger, sale, acquisition, financing, leverage buyout, spin-off, or otherwise), whether or not a formal assignment or hypothecation of this Lease or of Tenant's assets occurs, shall be deemed a Transfer requiring Landlord’s consent. As used in this Lease, "tangible net worth" means the sum of all of Tenant's assets, less liabilities and intangible assets, as determined by the use of generally accepted accounting principles, and the reduction of Tenant's tangible net worth shall by measured based on Tenant's tangible net worth as represented to Landlord as of the time of execution of this Lease. Notwithstanding any language to the contrary in this Article Nine, Landlord may, in its sole discretion, withhold its consent to any proposed assignment of Tenant’s leasehold interest in the Property to a lender as security, whether such proposed assignment is in the form of a leasehold deed of trust, leasehold mortgage, or otherwise. Section 9.07 Tenant Affiliate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 9.01 of this Lease, a Transfer of all or a portion of the Property 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, or (b) any Transfer Premium is payable. The terms of this Section 9.07 are only applicable provided that: (i) Tenant immediately notifies Landlord of any such Transfer; (ii) promptly supplies Landlord with any documents or information requested by Landlord regarding such Transfer; (iii) if requested by Landlord, have an affiliate of the Tenant Affiliate guarantee this Lease using Landlord’s standard guaranty form; (iv) if such Transfer is an assignment, Tenant Affiliate assumes in writing all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease; and (v) 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. “Control,” as used herein, shall mean the ownership, directly or indirectly, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting securities of, or possession of the right to vote, in the ordinary direction of its affairs, of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the voting interest in, any person or entity. Section 9.08 No Merger. No merger shall result from Tenant’s sublease of the Property 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. Section 9.09 Tenant’s Indemnity. If Landlord shall withhold its consent to any proposed Transfer requiring Landlord’s consent, or if Landlord shall exercise its recapture right in Section 9.04 above, Tenant shall indemnify, defend, 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 and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) resulting from any claims that may be made against Landlord by the proposed Transferee or by any brokers or other persons claiming a commission or similar compensation in connection with the proposed Transfer. 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 as well as a covenant. Tenant’s right to continue in possession of the Property 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 material default under this Lease (an “Event of Default”): (a) If Tenant abandons the Property or if Tenant’s vacation of the Property results in the cancellation or modification of any insurance described in Section 4.04 above; (b) If Tenant fails to pay rent or any other charge when due; (c) If Tenant fails to perform any of Tenant’s 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) DocuSign Envelope ID: 0ADF0948780F2365--FD088BD9--448F1378--88A08D76--0BDB545B889EA087AA37B41F Industrial Lease v6\MH\kh\03450-002 1828 North Higley Road, Suite ___, Mesa, AZ February 12, 2020 [ATLIS MOTOR VEHICLES INC.] 25 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 (c) is (i) intended to satisfy any and all notice requirements imposed by law on Landlord and is not in addition to any such requirement, and (ii) not intended to extend the time for Tenant’s performance if a shorter period of time for performance is expressly provided in this Lease. (d) (i) If Tenant makes a general assignment or general arrangement for the benefit of creditors; (ii) if a bankruptcy petition is filed by or against Tenant and is not dismissed within thirty (30) days; (iii) if a trustee or receiver is appointed to take possession of substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Property or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease and possession is not restored to Tenant within thirty (30) days; or (iv) if substantially all of Tenant’s assets located at the Property 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. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any of the acts described in this subsection (d) is not a default under this Lease, and a trustee is appointed to take possession (or if Tenant remains a debtor in possession) and such trustee or Tenant transfers Tenant’s interest hereunder, then Landlord shall receive, as Additional Rent, the excess, if any, of the rent (or any other consideration) paid in connection with such assignment or sublease over the rent payable by Tenant under this Lease. (e) If any guarantor of this Lease revokes or otherwise terminates, or purports to revoke or otherwise terminate, any guaranty of all or any portion of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Unless otherwise expressly provided, no guaranty of this Lease is revocable. (f) If Tenant fails to deliver an instrument or certificate within the time provided in Section 11.01 or Section 11.02 below, respectively. (g) If an unauthorized Transfer occurs, as set forth in Article Nine above. Section 10.03 Remedies. On the occurrence of any Event of Default, Landlord may, at any time thereafter, with or without notice or demand and without limiting Landlord in the exercise of any right or remedy which Landlord may have: (a) Terminate Tenant’s right to possession of the Property by any lawful means, in which case this Lease shall terminate and Tenant shall immediately surrender possession of the Property to Landlord. If Tenant shall be served with a demand for the payment of past due rent or any other charge, any payments rendered thereafter to cure any default by Tenant shall be made only by cashier’s check, wire transfer, or other immediately available funds. In such event, Landlord shall be entitled to recover from Tenant all damages incurred by Landlord by reason of Tenant’s default, including (i) the worth at the time of the award of the unpaid Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges which Landlord had earned at the time of the termination; (ii) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges which Landlord would have earned after termination until the time of the award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves Landlord could have reasonably avoided; (iii) the worth at the time of the award of the amount by which the unpaid Base Rent, Additional Rent and other charges which Tenant would have paid for the balance of the Lease Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves Landlord could have reasonably avoided; and (iv) any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant’s failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, including, but not limited to, any costs or expenses Landlord incurs in maintaining or preserving the Property after such default, the cost of recovering possession of the Property, expenses of reletting, including necessary renovation or alteration of the Property, Landlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith, and any real estate commission paid or payable. As used in subparts (i) and (ii) above, the “worth at the time of the award” is computed by allowing interest on unpaid amounts at the rate of fifteen percent (15%) per annum, or such lesser amount as may then be the maximum lawful rate. As used in subpart (iii) above, the “worth at the time of the award” is computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of the award, plus one percent (1%). If Tenant has abandoned the Property, Landlord shall have the option of (i) retaking possession of the Property and recovering from Tenant the amount specified in this Section 10.03(a), and/or (ii) proceeding under Section 10.03(b) below; (b) Maintain Tenant’s right to possession, in which case this Lease shall continue in effect whether or not Tenant has abandoned the Property. In such event, Landlord shall be entitled to enforce all of Landlord’s rights and remedies under this Lease, including the right to recover the rent as it becomes due; or DocuSign Envelope ID: 0ADF0948780F2365--FD088BD9--448F1378--88A08D76--0BDB545B889EA087AA37B41F Industrial Lease v6\MH\kh\03450-002 1828 North Higley Road, Suite ___, Mesa, AZ February 12, 2020 [ATLIS MOTOR VEHICLES INC.] 26 (c) Pursue any other remedy now or hereafter available to Landlord under the laws or judicial decisions of the state in which the Property is located. Section 10.04 Termination. If Landlord elects to terminate this Lease as a result of an Event of Default, Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for all damages resulting therefrom, which shall include, without limitation, all costs, expenses and fees, including reasonable attorneys’ fees that Landlord incurs in connection with the filing, commencing, pursuing and/or defending of any action in any bankruptcy court or other court with respect to this Lease; the obtaining of relief from any stay in bankruptcy restraining any action to evict Tenant; or the pursuing of any action with respect to Landlord’s right to possession of the Property. All such damages suffered (apart from Base Rent and other Rent payable hereunder) shall constitute pecuniary damages that must be reimbursed to Landlord prior to assumption of this Lease by Tenant or any successor to Tenant in any bankruptcy or other proceeding. Section 10.05 Cumulative Remedies. Landlord’s exercise of any right or remedy shall not prevent it from exercising any other right or remedy available at law, in equity, or otherwise. Section 10.06 Surrender. No act or thing done by Landlord or its agents during the Lease Term shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Property, and no agreement to accept a surrender of the Property shall be valid unless made in writing and signed by Landlord. Section 10.07 Removal of Tenant’s Property. All furniture, equipment, and other personal property of Tenant left unattended at the Property upon the vacation or abandonment thereof following an uncured Event by Default by Tenant or upon the termination of this Lease for any cause whatsoever shall conclusively be deemed to have been abandoned by Tenant, and may be appropriated, sold, stored, destroyed or otherwise disposed of by Landlord without notice to Tenant and without obligation to account therefore. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for all reasonable expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the disposition of such personal property. Landlord, upon presentation of evidence of a third party’s claim of ownership or security interest in any such property, may turn over such property to the third party claimant without any liability to Tenant. Section 10.08 Punitive and Consequential Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, nothing in this Lease shall impose any obligations on Tenant or Landlord to be responsible or liable for, and each hereby releases the other from all liability for, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages, other than those consequential damages incurred by Landlord in connection with (a) the holdover of the Property by Tenant after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, (b) the contamination of the Property or the Building or any other property resulting from the presence or use of Hazardous Materials caused or permitted by the Tenant Group, or (c) any repair, physical construction or improvement work performed by or on behalf of Tenant in the Property. Section 10.09 Landlord’s Lien. In addition to any statutory or common law lien protecting Landlord’s interests, in consideration of the mutual benefits arising under this Lease, Tenant hereby grants to Landlord a lien and security interest in all of Tenant’s property now or hereafter placed in or on the Property to secure payment of all Base Rent and Additional Rent that become due under this Lease. The provisions of this section constitute a security agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State where the Property is located (the “Code”) so that Landlord has and may enforce a security interest on all of Tenant’s inventory, fixtures, machinery, equipment, accessions, furnishings, and other such property now or hereafter placed in or on the Property and all proceeds therefrom (the “Collateral”), and such property shall not be removed from the Property without the prior written consent of Landlord until all arrearages in Base Rent and Additional Rent have been paid and Tenant has complied with all other provisions of this Lease. Consistent with the terms of the Code, Tenant authorizes Landlord to file a financing statement describing the Collateral. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default identified in Section 10.02 of this Lease, Landlord may, in addition to all other remedies provided by law or under this Lease, without notice or demand except as provided below, exercise the rights afforded to a secured party under the Code. To the extent the Code requires Landlord to give to Tenant notice of any act or event and such notice cannot be validly waived before a default occurs, then five (5) days prior written notice thereof shall be reasonable notice of the act or event. ARTICLE ELEVEN PROTECTION OF LENDERS Section 11.01 Subordination. This Lease is subject and subordinate to all present and future ground or underlying leases of the Building or the Property, and to the lien of any mortgages or deeds of trust, now or hereafter in force against the Building or the Property, 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 DocuSign Envelope ID: 0ADF0948780F2365--FD088BD9--448F1378--88A08D76--0BDB545B889EA087AA37B41F Industrial Lease v6\MH\kh\03450-002 1828 North Higley Road, Suite ___, Mesa, AZ February 12, 2020 [ATLIS MOTOR VEHICLES INC.] 27 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, deed of trust or security deed 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 deed of trust, 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 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, deeds of trust, ground leases or underlying leases. Tenant hereby irrevocably authorizes Landlord to execute and deliver in the name of Tenant any such instrument or instruments if Tenant fails to do so, provided that such authorization shall in no way relieve Tenant from the obligation of executing such instruments of subordination or superiority. Tenant waives the provisions of any current or future statute, rule or law which may give or purport to give Tenant any right or election to terminate or otherwise adversely affect this Lease and the obligations of Tenant hereunder in the event of any foreclosure proceeding or sale. Section 11.02 Estoppel Certificates. (a) Upon Landlord’s written request, Tenant shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a written statement, in the form as is then required by Landlord’s lender or any prospective purchaser, 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 Property may require. Tenant shall deliver such statement to Landlord within ten (10) days after Landlord’s request. Landlord may give any such statement by Tenant to any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of the Property. 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 ten (10)-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; (ii) that this Lease has not been canceled or terminated except as otherwise represented by Landlord; (iii) that not more than one month’s Base Rent or other charges have been paid in advance; and (iv) that Landlord is not in default under this Lease. In such event, Tenant shall be estopped from denying the truth of such facts. Section 11.03 Tenant’s Financial Condition. Within ten (10) 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 required by such lender to facilitate the financing or refinancing of the Property. 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 shall be confidential and shall be used only for the purposes set forth in this Lease. ARTICLE TWELVE LEGAL COSTS Section 12.01 Legal Proceedings. If Tenant or Landlord shall be in breach or default under this Lease, such party (the “Defaulting Party”) shall reimburse the other party (the “Non-defaulting Party”) upon demand for any costs or expenses that the Non-defaulting Party incurs in connection with any breach or default of the Defaulting Party under this Lease, whether or not suit is commenced or judgment entered. Such costs shall include legal fees and costs incurred for the negotiation of a settlement, enforcement of rights or otherwise. 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. The losing party in such action shall pay such attorneys’ fees and costs.

Tenant shall be responsible for all costs associated with any tests deemed necessary to resolve any and all interference caused by Tenant’s Communications Equipment, or any use that is not permitted by this Article. If such interference has not been corrected within twenty (20) days, Landlord may require Tenant to remove those components of Tenant’s Communications Equipment causing such interference, or Landlord will enjoin such interference at Tenant’s sole cost and expense. All operations by Tenant pursuant to this Article shall be lawful and in compliance with all rules and regulations of the Federal Communications Commission. Consistent with the terms of Section 6.05 of this Lease, (a) Landlord shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to determine the location of any visible Tenant’s Communications Equipment and require its screening at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, and (b) the installation the Tenant’s Communications Equipment is subject to Landlord’s prior approval of the final installation plans, provided that such installation plans do not include any roof penetrations.

Section 16.02 Landlord’s Liability; Certain Duties. (a) As used in this Lease, the term “Landlord” means only the current owner or owners of the fee title to the Property or the leasehold estate under a ground lease of the Property at the time in question. Each Landlord is obligated to perform the obligations of Landlord under this Lease only during the time such Landlord owns such interest or title. Any Landlord who transfers its title or interest is relieved of all liability with respect to the obligations of Landlord under this Lease to be performed on or after the date of transfer. However, 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 Property 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 Property, and neither Landlord nor its partners, members, managers, shareholders, officers or other principals shall have any personal liability under this Lease. (d) Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease based on an uncured default by Landlord in the performance of Landlord’s obligations under this Lease; provided, however, that Tenant may seek to recover from Landlord an amount representing appropriate actual, compensatory damages for breach of contract based on any such uncured default of Landlord, but not otherwise. Consistent with Section 10.08 above, in no event shall Tenant be permitted to recover consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages from Landlord based on any such uncured default of Landlord, or otherwise. DocuSign Envelope ID: 0ADF0948780F2365--FD088BD9--448F1378--88A08D76--0BDB545B889EA087AA37B41F Industrial Lease v6\MH\kh\03450-002 1828 North Higley Road, Suite ___, Mesa, AZ February 12, 2020 [ATLIS MOTOR VEHICLES INC.] 31 (e) With respect to any provision of this Lease which provides (or is held to provide) that Landlord shall not unreasonably withhold any consent or approval, Tenant shall not be entitled to make any claim for, and Tenant hereby expressly waives, any claim for damages, it being acknowledged and agreed that Tenant’s sole right and exclusive remedy therefor shall be an action for specific performance. 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 Property 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 Property 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 Property, the Property 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 Property. 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. DocuSign Envelope ID: 0ADF0948780F2365--FD088BD9--448F1378--88A08D76--0BDB545B889EA087AA37B41F Industrial Lease v6\MH\kh\03450-002 1828 North Higley Road, Suite ___, Mesa, AZ February 12, 2020 [ATLIS MOTOR VEHICLES INC.] 32 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 transfer taxes and 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 Property 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 Property is located, and that Tenant irrevocably consents to personal jurisdiction in such State for the purposes of any such action or claim. Nothing in this Section 16.09 shall be deemed to preclude or prevent Landlord from bringing any action or claim to enforce or interpret the provisions of this Lease in any other appropriate place or forum. 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 Property, 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 Property is located, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Landlord prior to the commencement of any such action. In the interest of obtaining a speedier and less costly adjudication of any dispute, Landlord and Tenant hereby knowingly, intentionally, and irrevocably waive the right to trial by jury in any legal action, proceeding, claim, or counterclaim brought by either of them against the other on all matters arising out of or related to this Lease or the use and occupancy of the Property.

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 16.13 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 16.14 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 DocuSign Envelope ID: 0ADF0948780F2365--FD088BD9--448F1378--88A08D76--0BDB545B889EA087AA37B41F Industrial Lease v6\MH\kh\03450-002 1828 North Higley Road, Suite ___, Mesa, AZ February 12, 2020 [ATLIS MOTOR VEHICLES INC.] 33 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.

Higley Road & Ingram Street, Mesa Arizona (“Property”); WHEREAS, Guarantor has a financial interest in the Tenant; and WHEREAS, Landlord would not execute the Lease if Guarantor did not execute and deliver to Landlord this Guaranty. NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the execution of the foregoing Lease by Landlord and as a material inducement to Landlord to execute said Lease, Guarantor hereby absolutely, presently, continually, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the prompt payment by Tenant of all rentals and all other sums payable by Tenant under said Lease and the faithful and prompt performance by Tenant of each and every one of the terms, conditions and covenants of said Lease to be kept and performed by Tenant, and further agrees as follows: 1. It is specifically agreed and understood that the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease may be altered, affected, modified, amended, compromised, released or otherwise changed by agreement between Landlord and Tenant, or by course of conduct and Guarantor does guaranty and promise to perform all of the obligations of Tenant under the Lease as so altered, affected, modified, amended, compromised, released or changed and the Lease may be assigned by or with the consent of Landlord or any assignee of Landlord without consent or notice to Guarantor and that this Guaranty shall thereupon and thereafter guaranty the performance of said Lease as so changed, modified, amended, compromised, released, altered or assigned. 2. This Guaranty shall not be released, modified or affected by failure or delay on the part of Landlord to enforce any of the rights or remedies of Landlord under the Lease, whether pursuant to the terms thereof or at law or in equity, or by any release of any person liable under the terms of the Lease (including, without limitation, Tenant) or any other guarantor, including without limitation, any other Guarantor named herein, from any liability with respect to Guarantor's obligations hereunder. 3. Guarantor's liability under this Guaranty shall continue until all rents due under the Lease have been paid in full in cash and until all other obligations to Landlord have been satisfied, and shall not be reduced by virtue of any payment by Tenant of any amount due under the Lease. If all or any portion of Tenant's obligations under the Lease is paid or performed by Tenant, the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) or performance(s) is avoided or recovered directly or indirectly from Landlord as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise. 4. Guarantor warrants and represents to Landlord that Guarantor now has and will continue to have full and complete access to any and all information concerning the Lease, the value of the assets owned or to be acquired by Tenant, Tenant's financial status and its ability to pay and perform the obligations owed to Landlord under the Lease. Guarantor further warrants and represents that Guarantor has reviewed and approved DocuSign Envelope ID: 0D088F35-D8B9-4F38-80D6-BB4B8E07A74F 12 AF947026-F08D-4817-8A87-0D5589A8A3B1 Industrial Lease v6\MH\kh\03450-002 1828 North Higley Road, Suite ___, Mesa, AZ February 12, 2020 [ATLIS MOTOR VEHICLES INC.] D-2 copies of the Lease and is fully informed of the remedies Landlord may pursue, with or without notice to Tenant, in the event of default under the Lease. So long as any of Guarantor's obligations hereunder remains unsatisfied or owing to Landlord, Guarantor shall keep fully informed as to all aspects of Tenant's financial condition and the performance of said obligations. 5. Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees with Landlord that if a default shall at any time occur in the payment of any sums due under the Lease by Tenant or in the performance of any other obligation of Tenant under the Lease, Guarantor shall and will forthwith upon demand pay such sums, and any arrears thereof, to Landlord in legal currency of the United States of America for payment of public and private debts, and take all other actions necessary to cure such default and perform such obligations of Tenant. 6. The liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collectibility, and is not conditioned or contingent upon the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Lease or the pursuit by Landlord of any remedies which it now has or may hereafter have with respect thereto, at law, in equity or otherwise. 7. Guarantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of to the extent permitted by law: (i) all notices to Guarantor, to Tenant, or to any other person, including, but not limited to, notices of the acceptance of this Guaranty or the creation, renewal, extension, assignment, modification or accrual of any of the obligations owed to Landlord under the Lease and, except to the extent set forth in Paragraph 9 hereof, enforcement of any right or remedy with respect thereto, and notice of any other matters relating thereto, (ii) notice of acceptance of this Guaranty; (iii) demand of payment, presentation and protest; (iv) any right to require Landlord to apply to any default any security deposit or other security it may hold under the Lease; (v) any statute of limitations affecting Guarantor's liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof; (vi) any right or defense that may arise by reason of the incapability, lack or authority, death or disability of Tenant or any other person; and (vii) all principles or provisions of law which conflict with the terms of this Guaranty. Guarantor further agrees that Landlord may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of a default under the Lease, notwithstanding any dispute between Landlord and Tenant with respect to the existence of said default or performance of the obligations under the Lease or any counterclaim, set-off or other claim which Tenant may allege against Landlord with respect thereto. Moreover, Guarantor agrees that Guarantor's obligations shall not be affected by any circumstances which constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety. 8. Guarantor agrees that Landlord may enforce this Guaranty without the necessity of proceeding against Tenant or any other guarantor. Guarantor hereby waives the right to require Landlord to proceed against Tenant, to proceed against any other guarantor, to exercise any right or remedy under the Lease or to pursue any other remedy or to enforce any other right. 9. (a) Guarantor agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent Landlord from suing on the Lease or from exercising any rights available to it thereunder and that the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights shall not constitute a legal or equitable discharge of Guarantor. In addition, Guarantor agrees that Landlord (not Tenant) shall have the right to designate the portion of Tenant's obligations under the Lease that is satisfied by a partial payment by Tenant. (b) Guarantor agrees that Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation against Tenant or any right of contribution against any other guarantor hereunder unless and until all amounts due under the Lease have been paid in full and all other obligations under the Lease have been satisfied. Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver of Guarantor's rights of subrogation and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation Guarantor may have against Tenant shall be junior and subordinate to any rights Landlord may have against Tenant, and any rights of contribution Guarantor may have against any other guarantor shall be junior and subordinate to any rights Landlord may have against such other guarantor.

Landlord shall have the sole right to accept or reject any plan on behalf of Guarantor proposed in such case and to take any other action which Guarantor would be entitled to take, including, without limitation, the decision to file or not file a claim. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any payment which accrues with respect to Tenant's obligations under the Lease (including, without limitation, the payment of rent) after the commencement of any such proceeding (or, if any such payment ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such proceeding, such payment as would have accrued if said proceedings had not been commenced) shall be included in Guarantor's obligations hereunder because it is the intention of the parties that said obligations should be determined without regard to any rule or law or order which may relieve Tenant of any of its obligations under the Lease.
