NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the rentals to be paid hereunder and the other mutually covenanted and agreements contained herein, the Landlord and Tenant hereby agree as follows: ARTICLE 1 DEMISE OF PREMISES Section 1.1. Demise of Premises. Landlord hereby leases to the Tenant a portion of the Real Property consisting of approximately 157.2 acres, as more particularly depicted on Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof, including all structures, equipment, facilities, and fixtures located thereon (the “Premises”). A legal description more particularly describing the Premises shall be attached hereto and made part hereof as Exhibit B upon receipt of same by the parties hereto (the “Legal Description”). Any reference to the Premises in the Lease shall be deemed to refer to the Premises as so defined and supplemented. Section 1.2. Term. The term of this Lease (the “Term”) shall commence on the Effective Date and shall expire on the last day of the calendar month immediately preceding the thirty-five (35)-year anniversary of the Effective Date (such term, the “Initial Term”; the last date of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term, as applicable, the “Lease Expiration Date”). Section 1.3. Renewal Options. Provided Tenant shall not then be in Default, the term of the Lease shall automatically renew for up to nine (9) additional periods of five (5) years (any such

2 period, a “Renewal Term”), subject to the following conditions: each Renewal Term shall be on the same terms, covenants, conditions, provisions and agreements as set forth herein for the Initial Term and shall commence immediately on the expiration of the Initial Term or the immediately preceding Renewal Term, as applicable; provided that Tenant does not provide written notice to Landlord to terminate the Lease as of the expiration of the Initial Term or the then-current Renewal Term, as applicable, at least six (6) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the then- current Renewal Term, as applicable. Section 1.4. Board Observer Rights. Provided that Landlord (together with its affiliates) continues to beneficially own (directly or indirectly) at least fifteen million (15,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of TeraWulf Inc. (“TeraWulf”), the parent company of Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to participate in Board meetings as a non-voting observer for the remainder of the Term. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ has delivered to Landlord a copy of duly approved authorizing resolutions and amendments to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s organizational documents authorizing Landlord to designate an observer to participate in Board meetings in accordance with the foregoing. ARTICLE 2 RENT Section 2.1. Rent. As of the Effective Date, Tenant shall pay rent for the Premises in the annual amount of $281,398.20, payable in advance in equal monthly installments of $23,449.85 (as such annual amount (and monthly installments) increase in accordance with the provisions hereof) payable in advance on the first day of each calendar month through the first day of the calendar month immediately preceding the Lease Expiration Date (the “Rent”). The Rent shall be paid on an absolute net basis such that the Tenant shall be responsible for paying any and all costs and expenses of whatsoever kind or nature related to the Premises, the Leasehold estate created hereby, and its Use rights hereunder, including without limitation, real estate taxes, transfer taxes (but only to the extent such transfer taxes are triggered by a transaction entered into solely by Tenant and not otherwise), insurance, maintenance (it being understood that, for purposes of this Section 2.1, “maintenance” shall include maintenance, repair, replacement, improvement and restoration), utilities and all other obligations whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing. The term “Additional Rent” shall mean any and all sums other than Rent required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease, including, but not limited to, (a) all costs, expenses and disbursements that Landlord incurs in connection with the ownership, operation, and maintenance of the Premises and other land area (and structures, facilities, equipment and fixtures thereon) exclusively supporting Tenant’s Use, including without limitation any costs and expenses incurred by Landlord to obtain, maintain or comply with regulatory or governmental approvals in connection therewith or as otherwise contemplated herein; (b) Tenant’s proportionate share (as hereinafter defined) of all costs, expenses and disbursements that Landlord incurs in connection with the ownership, operation, and maintenance of any other portions of the Real Property necessary or useful to reasonably support Tenant’s Use (but excluding the landfill) and all related overhead costs, including without limitation real estate taxes, environmental fees and expenses, and costs of permits and licenses, utilities, insurance and maintenance; and (c) the Additional Lease Payment. Additional Rent shall be payable by Tenant not more often than monthly within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s invoice therefor. As used herein, “Tenant's proportionate share”

3 means the percentage calculated by dividing the acreage of the Premises (numerator) by the acreage of the Real Property (denominator), and expressing the fraction as a percentage. (A) At the beginning of each subsequent lease year during the Term, the annual Rent shall be adjusted by an amount equal to any change in the CPI-U U.S. City Average, All Items (hereinafter referred to as “CPI-U”) from the beginning of the previous lease year; provided, however, that the annual Rent shall only be adjusted upwards and shall never be decreased by adjustment below the annual Rent paid by Tenant to Landlord during the preceding lease year. Each such annual Rent amount shall be obtained by multiplying the annual Rent for the preceding lease year by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the amount of the CPI-U for the month in which the applicable lease year commences (“CPI-U Current”) and the denominator of which shall be the CPI-U for the first month of the preceding lease year (“CPI-U Beginning”). The formula for the determination of such adjusted annual Rent for each lease year subsequent to the first lease year of the Term is expressed as follows: Annual Rent For Each CPI-U Current Preceding Lease Year x CPI-U Beginning = Adjusted Annual Rent (B) The adjusted annual Rent for each lease year shall be prorated (if applicable) and payable in advance in twelve (12) equal monthly installments with each installment to be due and payable monthly on the first day of each calendar month. Landlord shall provide notice to Tenant of the adjusted annual Rent promptly after the required CPI-U figures shall have been published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor. Beginning on the first day of the calendar month following the receipt of Landlord’s notice of the adjusted annual Rent amount, Tenant shall thereafter pay the adjusted annual Rent amount in equal monthly installments as provided herein, except that the first such payment following Landlord’s notice shall include an additional “catch-up” payment in the amount of the difference between (i) the monthly Rent paid by Tenant since the commencement of that lease year and (ii) the adjusted monthly Rent amount specified for that lease year, times (x) the number of calendar months between the commencement of that lease year and the commencement of Tenant’s payment of the adjusted monthly Rent amount. (C) If any CPI-U Current shall be computed upon a basis different from the one used for measuring the CPI-U Beginning or its nature or expression shall be otherwise changed, all necessary adjustments shall be made so that the CPI-U Current is always expressed in terms comparable to the terms used to express the CPI-U Beginning. (D) In the event the Bureau of Labor Statistics should cease to publish the CPI- U in its present form and calculated on its present basis, an index reflecting similar changes in the cost of living shall be selected by agreement between Landlord and Tenant in order to determine the adjusted annual Rent hereunder. Section 2.2. Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein with respect to the Common Stock, all Rent hereunder is payable to Landlord by check, subject to collection or, at Tenant’s option, by wire transfer of Federal Funds, as directed by

4 Landlord. Rent that is payable by check shall be payable to Landlord at the office of the Landlord set forth above or at such other place as Landlord shall direct by written notice to Tenant. Section 2.3. Late Charges. If Tenant fails to pay any Rent or Additional Rent within ten (10) days after same shall be due and payable, such unpaid amounts will be subject to a late payment charge equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the unpaid amounts in each instance. Such late payment charge has been agreed upon by Landlord and ▇▇▇▇▇▇, after negotiation, as a reasonable estimate of the additional administrative costs and detriment that will be incurred by Landlord as a result of any such failure by ▇▇▇▇▇▇, the actual costs thereof being extremely difficult if not impossible to determine. The late payment charge constitutes fair and reasonable compensation to Landlord for its damages resulting from such failure by Tenant to timely pay and shall be paid to Landlord together with such unpaid amounts. Section 2.4. No Offset. (A) It is the intention of Landlord and Tenant that Rent be payable to Landlord without any demand, abatement, diminution, defense, reduction, deduction, counterclaim, credit, setoff or offset whatsoever (except as expressly provided in this Lease). (B) Tenant’s obligations shall include, but not be limited to: (i) payment of all costs of cleaning, maintaining, repairing and operating the Premises; and (ii) with respect to the Premises, any and all “Impositions”, (as hereinafter defined); payments in lieu of taxes, personal property taxes; occupancy and rent taxes; water meter and sewer rents, rates and charges; charges for public and other utilities; excises, levies and all other license and permit fees and other governmental levies, fees, rents, assessments, taxes and charges, together with any fines, penalties and other similar governmental charges applicable to the foregoing; any interest or costs with respect to the foregoing; in each case whether general and special, ordinary or extraordinary, unforeseen or foreseen, of any kind and nature whatsoever (hereafter collectively referred to, as “Impositions”) which at any time prior to or during the Term may be assessed or imposed upon the Premises or any part thereof or any appurtenance thereto and thereon. Tenant hereby indemnifies and holds Landlord harmless from and against all of the foregoing expenses and obligations. Section 2.5. Lease Termination Payment and Lease Commencement Payment. Concurrently with the termination of the Prior Lease pursuant to the Lease Termination Agreement and in consideration of Landlord’s willingness to terminate the Prior Lease and enter into this Lease, Tenant shall pay directly to Landlord twenty million (20,000,000) shares of Common Stock issued directly by TeraWulf Inc. (“TeraWulf”) to Landlord’s parent company, Riesling Power LLC (“Landlord Parent”) and twelve million dollars ($12,000,000) in immediately available funds. Until October 9, 2025, Landlord Parent will not sell any of such 20,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Following such date, Landlord Parent may sell up to five million (5,000,000) shares of such Common Stock. After April 9, 2026, Landlord Parent will no longer be restricted hereby in any manner whatsoever. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon a Change in Control, the foregoing restrictions on sale shall no longer apply. "Change in Control" means any transaction or series of related transactions, the result of which is that any person, entity or group, other than any Landlord Parent and its Affiliates, (i) acquires beneficial ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock of TeraWulf, measured by voting power rather than number of shares or (ii) acquires the right to designate two (2) or more members of the TeraWulf’s Board of Directors. Landlord Parent is a third-party beneficiary of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s and ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s respective obligations

5 under this Section 2.5 and shall be entitled to enforce such obligations as if a party hereto. TeraWulf is a third-party beneficiary of Landlord Parent’s obligations under this Section 2.5 and shall be entitled to enforce such obligations against Landlord Parent as if a party hereto. ARTICLE 3 EXCLUSIVE USE OF PREMISES; EXCLUSIVE OPERATOR; SURRENDER AT END OF TERM Section 3.1. Exclusive Use of the Premises. It is understood and agreed that the Tenant may construct or cause to be constructed upon the Premises one or more buildings and/or ancillary structures (collectively, the “Buildings”). Tenant acknowledges that the Buildings will be used as a cryptocurrency mining facility and a high-performance computing (HPC) data center, each with ancillary services reasonably related thereto (the “Use”). At all times Tenant’s use of the Buildings shall comply with all requirements and restrictions set forth in applicable law. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees not to use the Premises in any manner that would violate those restrictions. The use restrictions contained herein shall also bind and be applicable to assignees and subtenants of Tenant. Section 3.2. Title to the Premises. The Landlord hereby consents to the construction of the Buildings, subject to the rights set forth herein; it being acknowledged and agreed that title to the Buildings shall vest in Landlord (without the necessity for any further activity on the part of either Landlord or Tenant) as the same is constructed. Tenant agrees that, on the Lease Expiration Date (or any earlier date on which this Lease shall terminate), (a) all of Tenant’s right, title and interest in and to the Premises (including without limitation the Buildings and all structures, including any power transmission, distribution and/or interconnection equipment or facilities (and all related electrical equipment) located thereon, but expressly excluding all movable personal property of Tenant, which Tenant may remove at any time on or prior to the expiration of the term of the Lease) and all tangible or intangible property (including without limitation any licenses, permits, authorizations, intellectual property, warranties and contract rights, but expressly excluding all movable personal property of Tenant, which Tenant may remove at any time on or prior to the expiration of the term of the Lease) of Tenant relating exclusively thereto shall automatically vest in the Landlord (without the necessity for any further activity on the part of either Landlord or Tenant, it being acknowledged and agreed that Tenant hereby transfers the same to Landlord effective as of such date) and (b) Tenant shall surrender the Premises and all such property to Landlord in good order, repair and condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted and provided that Tenant’s obligations with respect to damage by casualty or condemnation shall be subject to Article 8) and (as applicable) broom cleaned. Tenant shall promptly execute and deliver such documents and take such further actions as Landlord may request in order to give effect to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.2, including without limitation executing and delivering instruments or confirmations of transfer, using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any third- party consents required for any such transfer, and (if any such transfer is not possible despite such efforts) entering into such arrangements and providing such cooperation as shall to the fullest extent possible put the parties in the same position that they would have been in had such transfer been effected. Section 3.3. Alterations and Improvements. Subject to Landlord’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Tenant shall have the right at any time during the term of this Lease, at its own cost and expense, to erect and install on the

6 Premises such additional buildings, driveways, improvements, signs and personal property or to make alterations to or replace existing buildings, or improvements thereto as the Tenant may deem necessary. Any construction, alterations or improvements at the Site shall be done, by or on behalf of Tenant, in accordance with normal and customary practices in the industry, in a good and workmanlike and lien-free manner, in accordance with all applicable laws and permits. Without limiting the foregoing, Tenant shall be responsible at its sole cost and expense for the proper handling, removal and disposal of all materials, debris, waste and hazardous substances generated or resulting from such construction activities, all in accordance with applicable laws and permits. Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3.5, Tenant shall not construct, operate or maintain any Building, facility or improvement upon the Premises which would interfere with the use rights of Landlord or any other tenants, including any right of easement, right of way or license previously granted by Landlord or its predecessors to third parties. Subject to the limitations set forth herein, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees that Tenant may, during the Term, upon notice to Landlord, make alterations, additions and changes in and to the interior of the Buildings (except those of a structural nature) as it may find necessary for its purposes. Section 3.4. Zoning and Permits. At its own cost and expense, but with prior written consent of Landlord (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Tenant shall have the right to represent Landlord at hearings before the Federal or State Government, or any political subdivision or proprietary agency thereof, having jurisdiction for the issuance of zoning approvals, use and building permits, licenses and to seek any and all authorizations necessary to establish or continue the business Uses provided for herein at no material cost to Landlord. Tenant shall notify Landlord at the time any such application is submitted and shall simultaneously keep the Landlord reasonably apprised of the progress of the approval process including any specific amendments or modification to the application or any notices of rejection which may be received. Tenant may request Landlord execute any and all applications required for the issuance of said zoning approvals, use and building permits, licenses and authorizations, and Landlord's execution of such applications shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed provided that they are reasonably satisfactory to Landlord. In no circumstances shall any actions taken by Tenant pursuant to this paragraph prejudice the rights of Landlord or other activities taken or to be taken by Landlord or other tenants at or with respect to the Real Property; provided however, that if Landlord consents to Tenant’s activities, such activities shall be deemed not to prejudice the rights of Landlord or other activities taken or to be taken by Landlord or other tenants at or with respect to the Real Property. Section 3.5. Construction Approval. With Landlord’s prior written approval (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Tenant shall, at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, obtain all permits and approvals necessary to construct and operate a cryptocurrency mining facility and/or a high-performance computing data center and related infrastructure. Tenant acknowledges that it shall submit all requisite information and documentation to all governmental authorities in a timely fashion and shall provide all plans, drawings and specifications submitted for the approval process in compliance with the requirements of the New York State Fire Prevention and Building Code and the Municipal Code of the Town of Somerset.

In no event, however, shall the existence of Excusable Delay prohibit Tenant or Landlord from performing any monetary obligation or providing any required insurance. Section 3.6. Capacity. The parties agree that Tenant, which prior to the Effective Date has undertaken to obtain regulatory and other requisite approvals and other necessary steps to energize up to 500 MW of power at the Premises, shall have the right, in its sole discretion and at such time as it deems necessary or appropriate to support its operations and Use of the Premises, to increase its power usage such that it can use a total of up to 750 MW of power at the Premises, subject to the availability of such power and obtaining all applicable regulatory and other requisite approvals, subject to Landlord’s prior written consent and at Tenant’s sole cost and expense; it being understood that Landlord has no obligation to directly provide power or other utilities or services to Tenant for the Premises and that Tenant shall be solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining such utilities and services during the Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord reserves the right, for itself and for other tenants as it may determine, to utilize additional power above 750 MW and services that may be available for the Real Property and to take all necessary or appropriate actions in connection therewith as it may determine, including without limitation to seek requisite approvals or undertake construction or improvements at the Real Property. The parties shall reasonably cooperate to effectuate the foregoing allocation in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including without limitation by entering into any further agreements and documentation, seeking any requisite approvals, and/or engaging in further construction, improvements or other activities at the Premises or Real Property, all as necessary or advisable therefor; the parties further agree not to take any actions pursuant to the foregoing paragraph that would prejudice the rights of the other party in respect thereof. Section 3.7. Access; Non-Interference; Cooperation. To facilitate Tenant’s Use, Tenant, together with Tenant’s representatives, employees, and invitees, shall be granted the non-exclusive right of access to and use of, during the Term, (i) those portions of the Real Property that are reasonably necessary for access to and enjoyment of the Premises and/or Tenant’s Use thereof, including for pedestrian and vehicular access to and from a public accessway or other right of way, as directed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, and (ii) such structures, equipment, facilities, and fixtures located on the Real Property that Landlord designates for Use by Tenant during the Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no circumstances shall the foregoing rights or Tenant’s Use or operation of the Premises interfere in any material respect with either (a) Landlord’s ownership, operation or use of the Real Property or any facilities located thereon or (b) any other tenant or future tenant’s use

8 or rights in respect of any Real Property or equipment or facilities located thereon. In addition, Landlord hereby retains, for itself and its affiliates, agents, employees, contractors and designees, an easement and right of access to and use of the Premises and all structures, equipment, facilities and fixtures located thereon as may be necessary in the course of ownership, operation and maintenance (including without limitation repair, replacement, restoration and improvement) of the Real Property, so long as such access and/or use does not unreasonably interfere with Tenant’s operations on the Premises and complies with all applicable laws. In furtherance thereof, Tenant agrees to work cooperatively with Landlord to ensure reasonable access to such facilities and equipment as Landlord may reasonably require for itself or other tenants and their respective representatives and shall, upon request, grant shared access or easement rights and otherwise facilitate same.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the Term, Landlord must provide its prior written consent to the designation, hiring or engagement of any new or replacement operator thereon (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). ARTICLE 4 LEASEHOLD FINANCING PROVISIONS Section 4.1. Liens on Tenant’s Leasehold Estate; Rights of Leasehold Mortgages. (A) Leasehold Mortgage Authorized. At any time and from time to time, without limit as to amount and on any terms Tenant may deem desirable, and without any requirement to obtain Landlord’s consent, Tenant may (i) take back one or more purchase money Leasehold Mortgages (as hereinafter defined) upon a permitted sale and assignment of the

(b) In the event of any assignment of a Leasehold Mortgage or in the event of a change of address of a Leasehold Mortgagee or of an assignee of such Leasehold Mortgage notice of the new name and address shall be provided to Landlord and Owner. (2) Landlord shall promptly upon receipt of a communication purporting to constitute the notice provided for by subsection (B)(1) above, acknowledge by an instrument in recordable form receipt of such communication as constituting the notice provided for by subsection (B)(1) above or, in the alternative, notify Tenant and the Leasehold Mortgagee of the rejection of such communication as not conforming with the provisions of subsection B(l) and specify the specific basis of such rejection. Failure by Landlord to notify the Leasehold Mortgagee and Tenant within thirty (30) days shall be deemed to constitute acknowledgment of conformity of the notice with the requirements of subsection (B)(1) of this Section 4.1. (3) If requested to do so by Landlord, Tenant shall thereafter also provide Landlord from time to time with a copy of all notes or other obligations secured by such Leasehold Mortgage and of each amendment or other modification or supplement to the Leasehold Mortgage. Copies of the Leasehold Mortgage and related documents shall be accompanied by a certification by Tenant that such documents are true and correct copies of the originals.

The term “Institutional Investor” shall also include other lenders of substance which perform functions similar to any of the foregoing and any entity directly or indirectly controlled by, in control of or under common control with any Institutional Investor. In addition, it is understood and agreed that a mortgage made to, or held by, an Institutional Investor acting as agent or trustee for one or more parties who have interests in the Leasehold Mortgage, regardless of whether or not such parties are themselves institutional investors, shall be deemed a Leasehold Mortgage held by an Institutional Investor. (2) The term “Leasehold Mortgage” as used in this Lease shall include a mortgage, a deed of trust, a deed to secure debt, or other security instrument by which Tenant’s Leasehold estate is mortgaged, conveyed, assigned, or otherwise transferred, to secure a debt or other obligation, including, without limitation, obligations to reimburse the issuer of a letter of credit.

Any attempted cancellation, surrender or modification except as specifically provided under this Article 4 shall be of no force and effect. (E) Default Notice. Landlord, upon providing Tenant any notice of either (1) default under this Lease; or (2) a termination of this Lease, shall at the same time provide a copy of such notice to every Leasehold Mortgage. No such notice by Landlord to Tenant shall be deemed to have been duly given (nor shall Landlord be entitled to terminate this Lease pursuant to Article 11 hereof) unless and until a copy thereof has been so provided to every Leasehold Mortgagee. From and after such notice has been given to a Leasehold Mortgagee, such Leasehold Mortgagee shall have the same period, after the giving of such notice upon it, for remedying any default or causing the same to be remedied, as is given Tenant after the giving of such notice upon it, for remedying any default or causing the same to be remedied, as is given Tenant after the giving of such notice to Tenant, plus in each instance, the additional periods of time specified in subsection (G) of this Section 4.1 to remedy, commence remedying, or cause to be remedied the defaults specified in any such notice. Landlord shall accept such performance by or at the instigation of such Leasehold Mortgagee as if the same had been done by Tenant. Landlord authorizes each Leasehold Mortgagee to take any such action at such Leasehold Mortgagee’s

11 option and does hereby authorize entry upon the premises by the Leasehold Mortgagee for such purpose. (F) Notice to Leasehold Mortgagee. (1) Anything contained in this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, if any default shall occur which entitles Owner and/or Landlord to terminate this Lease Landlord may not terminate this Lease unless, following the expiration of the period of time given Tenant to cure such default, Landlord shall notify every Leasehold Mortgagee of Landlord’s intent to so terminate at least fifteen (15) days in advance of the proposed effective date of such termination if such advance of the proposed effective date of such default is capable of being cured by the payment of money, and at least thirty (30) days in advance of the proposed effective date of such termination if such default is not capable of being cured by the payment of money. The provisions of subsection (H) of this Section 4.1 shall apply if, during such 15- of 30-day termination notice period, any Leasehold Mortgagee shall: (a) notify Landlord of such Leasehold Mortgagee’s desire to nullify such notice; and (b) pay or cause to be paid all Rent, Additional Rent, and other payments then due and in arrears as specified in the termination notice to such Leasehold Mortgagee and which may become due during such 15- or 30-day period; and (c) comply or in good faith, with reasonable due diligence and continuity, commence to comply with all nonmonetary requirements of this Lease then in default and reasonably susceptible of being complied with by such Leasehold Mortgagee.

12 extended for a period of three (3) months, provided that such Leasehold Mortgagee shall, during such 3-month period: (a) Pay or cause to be paid the Rent and any other monetary obligations of Tenant under this Lease of which the Leasehold Mortgagee has received written notice as the same become due, and continue its good faith efforts to perform or cause performance of all Tenant’s other obligations under this Lease, excepting past nonmonetary obligations then in default and not reasonably susceptible of being cured by such Leasehold Mortgagee; and (b) If not enjoined or stayed and to the extent lawfully able, take steps to acquire or sell Tenant’s interest in this Lease by foreclosure of the Leasehold Mortgage or other appropriate means and prosecute the same to completion with reasonable diligence. (2) If at the end of such three-month period such Leasehold Mortgagee is complying with subsection (G)( 1) of this Section 4.1, this Lease shall not then terminate, and the time for completion by such Leasehold Mortgagee of its foreclosure proceedings shall automatically and without further act by any party continue for so long as such Leasehold Mortgagee proceeds to complete steps to acquire or sell Tenant’s interest in this Lease by foreclosure of the Leasehold Mortgage or by other appropriate means with reasonable diligence and continuity and for a reasonable period of time thereafter. Nothing in this subsection (G) of this Section 4.1, however, shall be construed to extend this Lease beyond the original term hereof as extended by any options to extend the term of this Lease properly exercised by Tenant or a Leasehold Mortgagee in accordance with the terms of such Leasehold Mortgagee’s Leasehold Mortgage nor to require a Leasehold Mortgagee to continue such foreclosure proceedings, after the Default has been cured.

(5) Any Leasehold Mortgagee or other party who acquires the Leasehold estate of Tenant pursuant to foreclosure, assignment in lieu of foreclosure or other proceedings may, upon acquiring Tenant’s Leasehold estate without the consent of Landlord, sell and assign the Leasehold estate on such terms and to such persons and organizations as are acceptable to such Leasehold Mortgagee provided that the purchaser assumes in writing the obligations hereof. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any covenant or obligation which may be performed by a Leasehold Mortgagee may be performed by any duly authorized designee of such Leasehold Mortgagee. (H) New Lease.

Upon the execution of such New Lease, Landlord shall allow to the Tenant named therein as an offset against the sums otherwise due under this section (H)(2) or under the New Lease, an amount equal to the net income derived by Landlord from the Premises during the period from the date of termination of this Lease to the date of the beginning of the Lease term of such New Lease. In the event of a controversy as to the net amount to be paid to Landlord pursuant to section (H)(2), the payment obligation shall be satisfied if Landlord be paid the amount not in controversy, and the Leasehold Mortgagee or its designee shall agree to pay any additional sum ultimately determined to be due.

Leasehold Mortgagee Need Not Cure Specified Defaults. Nothing herein contained shall require any Leasehold Mortgagee or its designee as a condition to its exercise of rights hereunder to cure any default of Tenant not reasonably susceptible of being cured by such Leasehold Mortgagee or its designee, including but not limited to bankruptcy defaults. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Leasehold Mortgagee or

15 its designee will be required to pay all amounts required to be paid hereunder and fulfill all Tenant’s other obligations under this Lease to the extent provided under the provisions of this Article 4.

(D) “Condemnation Restoration” shall mean a restoration of any portion of the Premises remaining after a partial Taking and/or a restoration of any portion of the Premises which have been changed or altered as a result of temporary Taking or as a result of any governmental action not constituting a Taking but creating a right to compensation as provided in this Article 9

21 so that such portions shall contain complete structures, in good condition and repair, consisting of self-contained architectural units and, to the extent practicable, of a size and condition of, and having a character similar to, the character of the Premises existing immediately prior to the Date of Taking or the date of such other governmental action which such changes as Tenant shall reasonably require.

22 (B) Subject to Unavoidable Delays, Tenant shall commence the construction work in connection with the restoration of the damaged portion of the Premises within one hundred twenty (120) days of the Taking, but in no event shall Tenant be required to so commence construction earlier than thirty (30) days after the settling of any or all litigation relating to the partial taking or the acceptance by the Tenant and Landlord and the Leasehold Mortgagees of any reward by the condemning authority. Section 9.4. Governmental Action not Resulting in a Taking. In case of any governmental action not resulting in a Taking but creating a right to compensation therefor, such as the changing of the grade of any street upon which the Premises abut, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect without reduction or abatement of Rent; provided, however, that if such governmental action results in changes or alteration of the Premises, then Tenant shall restore the Premises and effect a restoration with respect thereto. Any award payable in the case of such governmental action shall be paid to Tenant for the purpose of paying for the cost of such restoration. Section 9.5. Collection of Awards.

Each of the following events shall be an “Event of Default” or “Default” hereunder: (A) If Tenant shall fail to make any payment (or any part thereof) as and when due hereunder and such failure shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after written notice; or (B) If Tenant shall fail to repair and maintain the Premises as provided in this Lease or fails to comply with any other terms of this Lease and if such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) days after notice (in the case of a life-threatening or hazardous condition) or forty-five (45) days after notice (in the case of any other condition) unless such failure requires work to be performed, acts to be done or conditions to be removed which cannot, by their nature, reasonably be performed, done or removed within such five (5) or forty five (45)-day period, in which case no Event of Default shall exist as long as Tenant shall have commenced curing the

23 same within the five (5) or forty-five (45)-day period and shall diligently and continuously prosecute the same to completion within one hundred eighty (180) days (subject to Unavoidable Delays) from said notice. (C) Insolvency or Bankruptcy. The occurrence of any of the following shall, at Landlord’s option, constitute a breach of this Lease by Tenant: (i) the appointment of a receiver to take possession of all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant or the Premises if such receiver is not removed within sixty (60) days, (ii) an assignment by Tenant for the benefit of creditors, (iii) any action taken or suffered by Tenant under any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or other debtor relief act or statute, whether now existing or hereafter amended or enacted, (iv) the filing of any voluntary petition in bankruptcy by Tenant, or the filing of any involuntary petition by ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s creditors, which involuntary petition remains undischarged for a period of one hundred and twenty (120) days, (v) the attachment, execution or other judicial seizure of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets or the Premises, if such attachment or other seizure remains undismissed or undischarged for a period of sixty (60) days after the levy thereof, (vi) the admission of Tenant in writing of its inability to pay its debts as they become due, (vii) the filing by Tenant of any answer admitting or failing timely to contest a material allegation of a petition filed against Tenant in any proceeding seeking reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation or dissolution of Tenant or similar relief, or (viii) if within sixty (60) days after the commencement of any proceeding against Tenant seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, such proceeding shall not have been dismissed. In no event shall this Lease be assigned or assignable by operation of law or by voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or otherwise, and in no event shall this Lease or any rights or privileges under this Lease be an asset of Tenant under any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization proceedings. If, upon the occurrence of any of the events enumerated above, under applicable law Tenant or the trustee in bankruptcy has the right to affirm this Lease and continue to perform the obligations of Tenant under this Lease, Tenant or such trustee, in such time period as may be permitted by the bankruptcy court having jurisdiction, shall cure all defaults of Tenant outstanding under this Lease as of the date of the affirmance of this Lease and provide to Tenant such adequate assurances as may be necessary to ensure Tenant of the continued performance of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.1(B) there shall be no cure periods for any breach or default under this Section except as expressly provided in this Section. Section 11.2. Enforcement of Performance. Subject to the provisions of Articles hereof; if an Event of Default occurs, Landlord may elect to proceed by appropriate judicial proceedings, either at law or in equity, to enforce performance or observance by Tenant of the applicable provisions of this Lease, and/or to recover damages. Section 11.3. Expiration and Termination of Lease. (A) If an Event of Default occurs, Landlord at any time thereafter, that such Event of Default remains uncured, may, at its option, give Tenant and any Leasehold Mortgagee notice stating that this Lease and the Term shall terminate on the date specified in such notice, which date, unless otherwise provided herein, shall not be less than ten (10) days after the giving of the notice, and in such event, this Lease and the Term and all rights of Tenant under this Lease shall expire and terminate as if the date specified in the notice were the Lease Expiration Date, and Tenant shall quit and surrender the Premises forthwith, but Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter

24 set forth. Upon the happening of any Event of Default, Landlord may in addition, and/or in the alternative, without notice, re-enter the Premises either by force, summary proceedings or otherwise, dispossess Tenant and the legal representative of Tenant or other occupant of the Premises, and remove their effects and hold the Premises as if this Lease had not been made. Tenant hereby waives any right of redemption it may have in the event that a final judgment granting Landlord possession of the Premises is granted. In case of any such default, re-entry, termination, expiration and/or dispossess by summary proceedings or otherwise (i) the Rent shall become due thereupon and be paid up to the time of such re-entry, dispossess, termination, and/or termination; (ii) Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, relet the Premises or any part or parts thereof either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, for a term which may, at Landlord’s option, be less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term, and may grant concessions; and (iii) Tenant or the legal representative of Tenant shall remain liable at the option of the Landlord for each month of the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term for an amount equal to the deficiency between (x) the sum of the current monthly installment of Rent and (y) the net amount, if any, of the rents collected on account of the Lease or Leases of the Premises for each month of the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term. In computing such amounts for which Tenant shall remain liable, there shall be added to the said deficiency such expense as Landlord may incur in connection with re-letting, such as court costs, attorneys fees and disbursements, brokerage, and for putting and keeping the Premises in good order or for preparing the same for re-letting as herein provided. Any such amounts shall be paid monthly by Tenant on the rent day specified in this Lease and any suit brought to collect the amount of this deficiency for any month shall not prejudice in any way the rights of Landlord to collect the deficiency for any subsequent month by a similar proceeding. Landlord, at ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s option may make such alterations, repairs, replacements and/or decorations in the Premises as Landlord in its sole judgment deems advisable for the purpose of re-letting the Premises, and the making of such alterations and/or decorations shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid. Landlord shall in no event be liable, nor shall Tenant’s liability hereunder be reduced, in any way whatsoever for Landlord’s failure to relet the Premises, or, in the event that the Premises are relet, for failure to collect the rent or exhaust any or all remedies to collect the rent under such reletting. Section 11.4. Default by Landlord. Landlord shall not be in default hereunder unless Landlord fails to perform the obligations required of Landlord within a reasonable time, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after written notice by Tenant to Landlord specifying the failure and stating that it is a “notice of default” and following ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇’s failure to act within such thirty (30) day notice period; provided, however, if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for performance, then Landlord shall not be in default if Landlord commences performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion (with such period not exceeding ninety (90) days). If Landlord fails to cure the default within the 30-day period (or extended 90-day period as described in the preceding sentence), Tenant may elect to either: (i) pursue any remedy available to Tenant at law or equity; or (ii) to perform such obligation, in which event Landlord shall reimburse Tenant for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Tenant for such performance within ten (10) days from

25 receipt by Landlord of bills and invoices and/or Tenant may offset such costs against any Rent and/or Additional Rent.
