PLANT LEASE AGREEMENT

This AGREEMENT OF LEASE, made as of this 2nd day of August, 2022, between PETAWATT PROPERTIES LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, with its principal place of business located at 695 West End Ave, Carthage, NY 13619, party of the first part, hereinafter referred to as OWNER and/or LANDLORD, and Bit Brother New York Inc., ("Tenant"), a New York corporation, with an office at 800 3rd Avenue, Suite 2700, New York, NY 10022, party of the second part, hereinafter referred to as TENANT,

WITNESSETH: Owner hereby leases to Tenant and Tenant hereby hires from Owner demised premises (the "Demised Premises" or "demised premises") consisting of approximately 220,000 rentable square feet of space in a building (the "Building") located at 695 West End Avenue, Carthage, County of Jefferson, State of New York (the "Property"), the Demised Premises consisting of the Building and all common areas associated therewith (including parking lot(s)), on a portion of the Property constituting approximately 16.8 acres of the 22 total acres thereof, as more particularly designated in Exhibit "A" annexed hereto, for the term as set forth below.

SEE ARTICLE 40 (A) OF RIDER (or until such term shall sooner cease and expire as hereinafter provided) to commence on September 1, 2022, and to end on SEE ARTICLE 37 (A) OF RIDER and both dates inclusive, at an annual rental rate of $1,000,000 per year ("Base Annual Rent"), which Tenant agrees to pay in lawful money of the United States which shall be legal tender in payment of all debts and dues, public and private, at the time of payment, as follows: The Parties acknowledge that a two week exclusivity fee of $100,000 USD ("Deposit") was paid prior to the execution of this lease and Parties agree that the Deposit will be credited against the Base Annual Rent upon execution of this lease. The Tenant shall pay the remaining Base Annual Rent due for the first four (4) years of the lease term in the amount of USD $3,900,000.00 (the "Escrow Amount") to the Escrow Agent (as defined in the Escrow Agreement to be attached hereto as Exhibit "B") via wire transfer within five (5) business days following the full execution hereof. Thereafter, Tenant shall pay rent annually, on August 1st of each year of the lease term. The Escrow Amount will be released in its entirety to Landlord upon acceptance of Supply Agreements (defined herein) and the Certificate of Occupancy as described below. This amount is not inclusive of maintenance, repairs, renovations, insurance, property tax, utilities, and operating costs that shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant during the Lease Term. The lease is inclusive of all existing electrical and data center infrastructure, including medium voltage interconnect, transformers, PDUs, racks, and networking equipment ("Infrastructure"). In the event that Tenant executes a majority acquisition of Petawatt Holdings, Inc. (the "Acquisition"), any rent paid by Tenant to Landlord and any Infrastructure Costs paid by Tenant prior to the time of the Acquisition will be deducted from the total purchase price for the Acquisition.

1

Landlord represents that the existing infrastructure is sufficient to host twelve and a half megawatts (12.5MW) of renewable or carbon neutral energy for Tenant's computer equipment, including the housing of Tenant's miners and equipment in containers outside the Building, and that Infrastructure is in good working order. Landlord acknowledges that Tenant's miners and equipment in containers on the Demised Premises shall be, and shall remain, Tenant's property, and may be removed by Tenant upon expiration or termination of the Lease.

Landlord shall assist Tenant in entering into (i) a supply agreement for 12.5MW (the "12.5MW Supply Agreement" ) and a supply agreement for 50MW (the "50MW Supply Agreement" ), or (ii) a combined supply agreement for 62.5MW (the "Combined 62.5MW Supply Agreement") at the Demised Premises, not to exceed an average of $50 per megawatt, and on terms reasonably satisfactory to Tenant.

In connection with the Additional Capacity, Tenant agrees to pay one and a half million dollars (USD $1,500,000.00) within 90 days of execution of this Lease, for additional required infrastructure ("Infrastructure Work") associated costs and fees ("Capacity Infrastructure Costs"). The parties acknowledge that the Infrastructure Work is anticipated to be completed within 45 to 60 days after commencement thereof. Landlord shall pay any amount of Capacity Infrastructure Costs exceeding such $1,500,000 amount. Upon termination of this Lease, the Infrastructure Work shall belong to Landlord.

To help support the Additional Capacity, Landlord shall commission a load study to study the feasibility of the Additional Capacity (the"Load Study"). The Load Study will take approximately one hundred eighty (180) days. The Load Study will cost approximately $150,000 and is part of the Capacity Infrastructure Costs. As Tenant requires a delay before paying the Capacity Infrastructure Costs, Landlord will pay for the Load Study initially, and be reimbursed for this expense once Capacity Infrastructure Costs are received. The Load Study will start upon acceptance of the 50MW Supply Agreement or the Combined 62.5MW Supply Agreement. If the Load Study or the 50MW Supply Agreement or the Combined 62.5MW Supply Agreement causes the Additional Capacity to be less than 50MW, the Base Annual Rent shall be decreased pro-rata. If the Load Study is not completed by March 1st, 2023, in the interim, Tenant may choose to use 50MW from the carbon based power plant provided by Petawatt until May 1st, 2023, at the same price as the 50MW Supply Agreement or the Combined 62.5MW Supply Agreement.

2

Notwithstanding any terms to the contrary in this Lease, upon Tenant's receipt of the 12.5MW Supply Agreement and 50MW Supply Agreement or the Combined 62.5MW Supply Agreement (together the "Supply Agreements") and the Certificate of Occupancy, the Tenant shall have five (5) business days to accept or decline such Supply Agreements and Certificate of Occupancy by providing written Notice to the Landlord and Escrow Agent as set forth in the Escrow Agreement. If the Tenant declines the Supply Agreements and Certificate of Occupancy, the Landlord or the Tenant may terminate this Lease immediately and the Escrow Agent shall refund to Tenant the Escrow Amount of USD $3,900,000. If Tenant accepts both the Supply Agreements and the Certificate of Occupancy, Escrow Agent shall release the Escrow Amount of USD $3,900,000.00 to Landlord. In the event Tenant fails to provide notice accepting or declining the Supply Agreements and Certificate of Occupancy within five (5) business days following Tenant's receipt of the Supply Agreements, such failure shall be deemed a declination by Tenant, upon which this Lease shall terminate and the Escrow Agent shall refund to Tenant the Escrow Amount of USD $3,900,000.00.

If (i) the 12.5MW Supply Agreement and the 50MW Supply Agreement or the Combined 62.5MW Supply Agreement are not executed before September 1, 2022, or (ii) the first 12.5MW of renewable or carbon neutral power is not available to Tenant on or before October 1st, 2022, or (iii) Landlord is unable to deliver a certificate of occupancy for the Demised Premises that shall permit use of the Demised Premises for a supercomputer center, mainly for crypto currency mining, or the appropriate designation for this use according to the jurisdiction (the "Certificate of Occupancy"), and amended to reflect the name of Tenant before September 1, 2022, or (iv) Landlord is unable to deliver the demised premises on the Commencement Date in a condition which is in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations, including, without limitation, the municipal Fire Code. Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease, and Landlord shall immediately refund to Tenant the Escrow Amount of USD $3,900,000.

If (i) the additional 50MW of power is not available to Tenant on or before March 1st 2023, or (ii) the additional 50MW of renewable or carbon neutral power is not available to Tenant on or before May 1st, 2023, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease until June 1st, 2023 ("Power Availability Termination"). If Tenant chooses to terminate the lease due to Power Availability Termination, Landlord shall immediately refund to Tenant the Escrow Amount of USD $3,900,000, and the Capacity Infrastructure Costs paid by Tenant (USD $1,500,000).

The parties hereto, for themselves, their heirs, distributees, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns, hereby further covenant as follows:

Rent: 1. Tenant shall pay the rent as above and as hereinafter provided.

Occupancy: 2. Tenant shall use and occupy demised premises solely as a supercomputer center, mainly for crypto currency mining. Tenant may place containers on the Demised Premises to house its miners and equipment, all at Tenant's discretion. To the extent a change in permitted use on the Certificate of Occupancy pertaining to the premises shall be necessitated by Tenant's intended use, and such change shall result in an increase in the real estate taxes charged, assessed and/or otherwise pertaining to the demised premises, then and in that event the parties herein hereby acknowledge, understand and agree that Tenant shall be solely responsible for any and all such increase(s).

Tenant Alterations: 3. Tenant shall make no structural changes in or to the demised premises of any nature without Owner's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Subject to the prior written consent of Owner, and to the provisions of this article, Tenant, at Tenant's expense, may make alterations, installations, additions or improvements which are non-structural and which do not affect utility services or plumbing and electrical lines, in or to the interior of the demised premises by using contractors or mechanics first approved in each instance by Owner. Tenant shall, before making any alterations, additions, installations or improvements, at its expense, obtain all permits, approvals and certificates required by any governmental or quasi-governmental bodies and (upon completion) certificates of final approval thereof and shall deliver promptly duplicates of all such permits, approvals and certificates to Owner and Tenant agrees to carry and will cause Tenant's contractors and sub-contractors to carry such worker's compensation, general liability, excess umbrella liability, personal and property damage insurance as Owner may require. If any mechanic's lien is filed against the demised premises, or the building of which the same forms a part, for work claimed to have been done for, or materials furnished to, Tenant, whether or not done pursuant to this article, the same shall be discharged by Tenant within thirty (30) days thereafter, at Tenant's expense, by payment or filing the bond required by law. All fixtures and all paneling, partitions, railings and like installations, installed in the premises at any time, either by Tenant or by Owner on Tenant's behalf, shall, upon installation, become the property of Owner and shall remain upon and be surrendered with the demised premises unless Owner, by notice to Tenant at the time Owner approves such installations, elects to relinquish Owner's rights thereto and to have them removed by Tenant, in which event, the same shall be removed from the premises by Tenant prior to the expiration of the lease, at Tenant's expense. Nothing in this article shall be construed to give Owner title to or to prevent Tenant's removal of trade fixtures, moveable office furniture and equipment, but upon removal of any such from the premises or upon removal of other installation as may be required by Owner, Tenant shall immediately, and at its expense, repair and restore the premises to the condition existing prior to installation and repair any damage to the demised premises or the building due to such removal. All property permitted or required to be removed by Tenant at the end of the term remaining in the premises after Tenant's removal shall be deemed abandoned and may, at the election of Owner, either be retained as Owner's property or may be removed from the premises by Owner, at Tenant's expense. Nothing herein shall be deemed to convey title and/or ownership rights to Tenant of any Landlord-owned equipment included in and/or otherwise made available to Tenant for use during the Lease Term, which equipment is further itemized by schedule annexed hereto.

Furthermore, it is specifically agreed that Tenant shall not be entitled to any setoff or reduction of rent by reason of any failure of Owner to comply with the covenants of this or any other article of this Lease.

SEE ARTICLE 43 OF RIDER

Destruction, Fire, and other Casualty: 9(a). If the Demised Premises or the Building are damaged by fire or other casualty and if such damage does not render all or a substantial portion of the Demised Premises or the Building untenantable, then Landlord shall proceed to repair and restore the same with reasonable promptness, subject to reasonable delays for insurance adjustments and delays caused by matters beyond Landlord's reasonable control. If any such damage renders all or a substantial portion of the Premises or the Building untenantable, Landlord, with reasonable promptness after the occurrence of such damage, shall estimate the length of time that will be required to substantially complete the repair and restoration of such, damage and shall advise Tenant by notice of such estimate. If it is estimated that the amount of time required to substantially complete such repair and restoration will exceed ninety (90) days from the date such damage occurred, then Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date of such damage upon giving notice to Landlord at any time within ten (10) days after Landlord gives Tenant the notice containing said estimate. Unless this Lease is so terminated, Landlord shall proceed with reasonable promptness to repair and restore the Premises. If the Premises are not repaired or restored within thirty (30) days of Landlord's estimate (or, if Landlord has not provided an estimate, within one-hundred, twenty days (120) after the date of such fire or other casualty), then Tenant may thereafter terminate this Lease by written notice given to the Landlord prior to substantial completion of repair or restoration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if any such damage rendering an or a substantial portion of the Premises or the Building untenantable shall occur during the last year (l) year of the Term (unless Tenant has an option to extend this Lease and exercises the same), Landlord and Tenant shall have the option to terminate this Lease by giving written notice within thirty(30) days after the date such damage occurred, and if such option is so exercised, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of such notice. All rent held in escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement and not applied toward rent accruing prior to such casualty shall be returned to Tenant within ten (10) days of a termination of the Lease pursuant to this section. Owner and Tenant each hereby release and waive all right of recovery with respect to the provisions of this section, against the other or anyone claiming through or under each of them by way of subrogation or otherwise. The release and waiver herein referred to shall be deemed to include any loss or damage to the demised premises and/or to any personal property, equipment, trade fixtures, goods and merchandise located therein. The foregoing release and waiver shall be in force only if both releasors' insurance policies contain a clause providing that such a release or waiver shall not invalidate the insurance. If, and to the extent, that such waiver can be obtained only by the payment of additional premiums, then the party benefiting from the waiver shall pay such premium within ten days after written demand or shall be deemed to have agreed that the party obtaining insurance coverage shall be free of any further obligation under the provisions hereof with respect to waiver of subrogation. Tenant acknowledges that Owner will not carry insurance on Tenant's furniture and/or furnishings or any fixtures or equipment, improvements, or appurtenances removable by Tenant and agrees that Owner will not be obligated to repair any damage thereto or replace the same. (f) Tenant hereby waives the provisions of Section 227 of the Real Property Law and agrees that the provisions of this article shall govern and control in lieu thereof.

Eminent Domain: 10. If the whole or any part of the demised premises shall be acquired or condemned by Eminent Domain for any public or quasi-public use or purpose, then and in that event, the term of this lease shall cease and terminate from the date of title vesting in such proceeding and Tenant shall have no claim for the value of any unexpired term of said lease nor refund of any prepaid rent and assigns to Owner, Tenant's entire interest in such award, but shall have the right to make an independent claim to the condemning authority for the value of Tenant's moving expenses and personal property, trade fixtures and equipment, provided Tenant is entitled pursuant to the terms of the lease to remove such property, trade fixtures and equipment at the end of the term and provided further such claim does not reduce Owner's award. In the event of a taking that does not impair Tenant's use of the Demised Premises, Tenant, at Tenant's option, may continue to occupy the Demises Premises pursuant to the terms of this Lease, with the rent amount to be adjusted in accordance with the area of the Demises Premises so taken.

Assignment Mortgage, etc. 11. Tenant, for itself, its heirs, distributees, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns expressly covenants that it shall not assign, mortgage or encumber this agreement, nor underlet, or suffer or permit the demised premises or any part thereof to be used by others, without the prior written consent of Owner in each instance. Transfer of the majority of the stock of a corporate tenant or the majority partnership interest of a partnership Tenant shall be deemed an assignment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may assign this Lease to an affiliate of Tenant without Landlord's consent, but in such event will provide Landlord with evidence of such assignment. If this lease be assigned, or if the demised premises or any part thereof be underlet or occupied by anybody other than Tenant, Owner may, after default by Tenant, collect rent from the assignee, under-tenant or occupant, and apply the net amount collected to the rent herein reserved, but no such assignment, underletting, occupancy or collection shall be deemed a waiver of the covenant, or the acceptance of the assignee, under-tenant or occupant as tenant, or a release of Tenant from the further performance by Tenant of covenants on the part of Tenant herein contained. The consent by Owner to an assignment or underletting shall not in any wise be construed to relieve Tenant from obtaining the express consent in writing of Owner to any further assignment or underletting. If this Lease shall be rejected under Section 235 of Title 11 of the U.S. Code (bankruptcy code); or if Tenant shall fail to move into or take possession of the premises within thirty (30) days after the commencement of the term of this lease, then, in any one or more of such events, upon Owner serving a written fifteen (15) days notice upon Tenant specifying the nature of said default and upon the expiration of said fifteen (15) days, if Tenant shall have failed to comply with or remedy such default, or if the said default or omission complained of shall be of a nature that the same cannot be completely cured or remedied within said fifteen (15) day period, SEE ARTICLE 42 OF RIDER

Electric Current: 12. Rates and conditions in respect to submetering or rent inclusion, as the case may be, to be added in RIDER attached hereto. Tenant covenants and agrees that at all times its use of electric current shall not exceed the capacity of existing feeders to the building or the risers or wiring installation and Tenant may not use any electrical equipment which, in Owner's opinion, reasonably exercised, will overload such installations or interfere with the use thereof by other tenants of the building. The change at any time of the character of electric service shall in no wise make Owner liable or responsible to Tenant, for any loss, damages or expenses which Tenant may sustain. SEE ARTICLE 39 OF RIDER

Access to Premises: 13. Owner or Owner's agents shall have the right (but shall not be obligated) to enter the demised premises in any emergency at any time, and, at other reasonable times, upon reasonable advance notice to Tenant, to examine the same and to make such repairs, replacements and improvements as Owner may deem necessary and reasonably desirable to any portion of the building or which Owner may elect to perform. Tenant shall permit Owner to use and maintain and replace pipes and conduits in and through the demised premises and to erect new pipes and conduits therein, provided they are concealed within the walls, floors or ceiling, and provided Tenant's occupancy and use of the Demised Premises in not unreasonably disturbed. Owner may, during the progress of any work in the demised premises, take all necessary materials and equipment into said premises without the same constituting an eviction nor shall the Tenant be entitled to any abatement of rent while such work is in progress nor to any damages by reason of loss or interruption of business or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as Tenant is responsible for any and all maintenance and repairs to the premises, whether structural or non-structural, throughout the Lease Term, in the event any repairs deemed necessary by Owner are not completed by Tenant, to Owner's satisfaction, within fourteen (14) days written notice of same, to the extent Owner shall undertake any such repairs on Tenant's behalf, the total cost of same, together with fifteen (15%) percent markup, shall be charged to Tenant as additional rent, and shall be due to Owner by the 1st of the immediately succeeding month, without exception. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require Owner to issue notice to Tenant of any repairs to be undertaken or to relieve Tenant obligation to conduct repairs in the event no notice is issued. Throughout the term hereof Owner shall have the right to enter the demised premises at reasonable hours and upon reasonable advance notice to Tenant, for the purpose of showing the same to prospective purchasers or mortgagees of the building, and during the last six months of the term for the purpose of showing the same to prospective tenants. If Tenant is not present to open and permit an entry into the demised premises, Owner or Owner's agents may enter the same whenever such entry may be necessary or permissible by master key or forcibly and provided reasonable care is exercised to safeguard Tenant's property, such entry shall not render Owner or its agents liable therefor, nor in any event shall the obligations of Tenant hereunder be affected. If during the last month of term Tenant shall have removed all or substantially all of Tenant's property therefrom Owner may immediately enter, alter, renovate or redecorate the demised premises without limitation or abatement of rent, or incurring liability to Tenant for any compensation and such act shall have no effect on this lease or Tenant's obligations hereunder. Owner specifically reserves the right to conduct inspections of the demises premises, the structure, roof, basement, bathroom, plumbing system, electrical system and storage spaces at any time during business hours, upon reasonable advance notice to Tenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party shall enjoy reasonable and necessary ingress and egress rights for the sole, exclusive and limited purpose of accessing electrical switchyards, running supporting cabling, and infrastructure for both Owner and Tenant operations.

Vault, Vault Space, Area: 14. No vaults, vault space or area, whether or not enclosed or covered, not within the property line of the building is leased hereunder, anything contained in or indicated on any sketch, blueprint or plan, or anything contained elsewhere in this lease to the contrary notwithstanding. Owner makes no representation as to the location of the property line of the building. All vaults and vault space and all such areas not within the property line of the building, which Tenant may be permitted to use and/or occupy, is to be used and/or occupied under a revocable license, and if any such license be revoked, or if the amount of such space or area be diminished or required by any federal, state or municipal authority or public utility, Owner shall not be subject to any liability nor shall Tenant be entitled to any compensation or diminution or abatement of rent, nor shall such revocation, diminution or requisition be deemed constructive or actual eviction. Any tax, fee or charge of municipal authorities for such vault or area shall be paid by Tenant.

Occupancy: 15. Tenant will not at any time use or occupy the demised premises in violation of the Certificate of Occupancy issued for the building of which the demised premises are a part. Landlord represents and warrants that the Leased Premises shall be delivered to Tenant as-is, and that the current condition is sufficient to support the intended use of the premises as indicated in paragraph (2). Subject to the foregoing representation and warranty, Tenant has inspected the premises and accepts them as is. To the extent a change in permitted use on the Certificate of Occupancy pertaining to the premises shall be necessitated by Tenant's intended use, and such change shall result in an increase in the real estate taxes charged, assessed and/or otherwise pertaining to the demised premises, then and in that event the parties herein hereby acknowledge, understand and agree that Tenant shall be responsible for payment of same, without exception. SEE ARTICLE 48 OF RIDER

Bankruptcy: 16. (a) Anything elsewhere in this lease to the contrary notwithstanding, this lease may be cancelled by Owner by the sending of a written notice to Tenant within a reasonable time after the happening of any one or more of the following events: (1) the commencement of a case in bankruptcy or under the laws of any state naming Tenant as the debtor which is not discharged within ninety (90) days; or (2) the making by Tenant of any assignment or any other arrangement for the benefit of creditors under any state statute. Neither Tenant nor any person claiming through or under Tenant, or by reason of any statute or order of court, shall thereafter be entitled to possession of the premises demised but shall forthwith quit and surrender the premises. If this lease shall be assigned in accordance with its terms, the provisions of this Article 16 shall be applicable only to the party then owning Tenant's interest in this lease.

10

(b) It is stipulated and agreed that in the event of the termination of this lease pursuant to (a) hereof, Owner shall forthwith, notwithstanding any other provision of this lease to the contrary, be entitled to recover from Tenant as and for liquidated damages an amount equal to the difference between the rent reserved hereunder for the unexpired portion of the term demised and the fair and reasonable rental value of the demised premises for the same period. In the computation of such damages the difference between any installment of rent becoming due hereunder after the date of termination and the fair and reasonable rental value of the demised premises for the period for which such installment was payable shall be discounted to the date of termination at the rate of four percent (4%) per annum. If such premises or any part thereof be re-let by the Owner for the unexpired term of said lease, or any part thereof, before presentation of proof of such liquidated damages to any court, commission or tribunal, the amount of rent reserved upon such re-letting shall be deemed to be the fair and reasonable rental value for the part or the whole of the premises so re-let during the term of the re-letting. Nothing herein contained shall limit or prejudice the right of the Owner to prove for and obtain as liquidated damages by reason of such termination, an amount equal to the maximum allowed by any statute or rule of law in effect at the time when, and governing the proceedings in which, such damages are to be proved, whether or not such amount be greater, equal to, or less than the amount of the difference referred to above. Notwithstanding any of Landlord's remedies set forth herein or at law, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages hereunder.

Default: 17. (1) If Tenant defaults in fulfilling any of the covenants, terms, provisions and/or conditions of this lease other than the covenants for the payment of rent or additional rent; or if the demised premises become vacant or deserted; or if any execution or attachment shall be issued against Tenant or any of Tenant's property whereupon the demised premises shall be taken or occupied by someone other than Tenant; or if this lease and if Tenant shall not have diligently commenced curing such default within such fifteen (15) day period, and shall not thereafter with reasonable diligence and in good faith proceed to remedy or cure such default then, Owner may serve a written five (5) days' notice of cancellation of this lease upon Tenant, and upon the expiration of said five (5) days, this lease and the term thereunder shall end and expire as fully and completely as if the expiration of such five (5) day period were the day herein definitely fixed for the end and expiration of this lease and the term thereof and Tenant shall then quit and surrender the demised premises to Owner but Tenant shall remain liable as hereinafter provided.

11

(2) If the notice provided for in (1) hereof shall have been given, and the term shall expire as aforesaid; or if Tenant shall make default in the payment of the rent reserved herein or any item of additional rent herein mentioned or any part of either or in making any other payment herein required; then and in any of such events Owner may without notice, re-enter the demised premises either by force or otherwise, and dispossess Tenant by summary proceedings or otherwise, and the legal representative of Tenant or other occupant of demised premises and remove their effects and hold the premises as if this lease had not been made, and Tenant hereby waives the service of notice of intention to re-enter or to institute legal proceedings to that end.

Owner may cancel and terminate such renewal or extension agreement by written notice.

Remedies of Owner and Waiver of Redemption: 18. In case of any such default, re-entry, expiration and/or dispossess by summary proceedings or otherwise, (a) the rent shall become due thereupon and be paid up to the time of such re-entry, dispossess and/or expiration, (b) Owner may re-let the premises or any part or parts thereof, either in the name of Owner or otherwise, for a term or terms, which may at Owner's option be less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this lease and may grant concessions or free rent or charge a higher rental than that in this lease, and/or (c) Tenant or the legal representatives of Tenant shall also pay Owner as liquidated damages for the failure of Tenant to observe and perform said Tenant's covenants herein contained, any deficiency between the rent hereby reserved and/or covenanted to be paid and the net amount, if any, of the rents collected on account of the subsequent lease or leases of the demised premises for each month of the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the term of this lease. The failure of Owner to re-let the premises or any part or parts thereof shall not release or affect Tenant's liability for damages. In computing such liquidated damages there shall be added to the said deficiency such expenses as Owner may incur in connection with re-letting, such as legal expenses, reasonable attorneys' fees, brokerage, advertising and for keeping the demised premises in good order or for preparing the same for re-letting. Any such liquidated damages shall be paid in monthly installments by Tenant on the rent day specified in this lease and any suit brought to collect the amount of the deficiency for any month shall not prejudice in any way the rights of Owner to collect the deficiency for any subsequent month by a similar proceeding. Owner, in putting the demised premises in good order or preparing the same for re-rental may, at Owner's option, make such alterations, repairs, replacements, and/or decorations in the demised premises as Owner, in Owner's sole judgement, considers advisable and necessary for the purpose of re-letting the demised premises, and the making of such alterations, repairs, replacements, and/or decorations shall not operate or be construed to release Tenant from liability hereunder as aforesaid. Owner shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for failure to re-let the demised premises, or in the event that the demised premises are re-let, for failure to collect the rent thereof under such re-letting, and in no event shall Tenant be entitled to receive any excess, if any, of such net rent collected over the sums payable by Tenant to Owner hereunder. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Tenant of any of the covenants or provisions hereof, Owner shall have the right of injunction and the right to invoke any remedy allowed at law or in equity as if re-entry, summary proceedings and other remedies were not herein provided for. Mention in this lease of any particular remedy, shall not preclude Owner from any other remedy, in law or in equity. Tenant hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present or future laws in the event of Tenant being evicted or dispossessed for any cause, or in the event of Owner obtaining possession of demised premises, by reason of the violation by Tenant of any of the covenants and conditions of this lease, or otherwise.

If Tenant shall default in the observance or performance of any term or covenant on Tenant's part to be observed or performed under or by virtue of any of the terms or provisions in any article of this lease, after notice if required and upon expiration of any applicable grace period if any, (except in an emergency), then, unless otherwise provided elsewhere in this lease, Owner may immediately or at any time thereafter and without notice perform the obligation of Tenant thereunder. If Owner, in connection with the foregoing or in connection with any default by Tenant in the covenant to pay rent hereunder, makes any expenditures or incurs any obligations for enforcement of any provision of the within Lease, the payment of money, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees, in instituting, prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding and prevails in any such action or proceeding, then Tenant will reimburse Owner for such sums so paid or obligations incurred with interest and costs. The foregoing expenses by reason of Tenant's default shall be deemed to be additional rent hereunder and shall be paid by Tenant to Owner within ten (10) days of rendition of any bill or statement to Tenant therefor. If Tenant's lease term shall have expired at the time of making of such expenditures or incurring of such obligations, such sums shall be recoverable by Owner, as damages.

Building Alterations and Management: 20. Owner shall have the right at any time without the same constituting an eviction and without incurring liability to Tenant therefor to change the arrangement and/or location of public entrances, passageways, doors, doorways, corridors, elevators, stairs, toilets or other public parts of the building and to change the name, number or designation by which the building may be known, provided any of such actions do not unreasonably interfere with Tenant's possession and use of the Demised Premises. There shall be no allowance to Tenant for diminution of rental value and no liability on the part of Owner by reason of inconvenience, annoyance or injury to business arising from Owner or other Tenants making any repairs in the building or any such alterations, additions and improvements. Furthermore, Tenant shall not have any claim against Owner by reason of Owner's imposition of such controls of the manner of access to the building by Tenant's social or business visitors as the Owner may deem necessary for the security of the building and its occupants.

13

No Representations by Owner: 21.

14

Failure to Give Possession: 24. If Owner is unable to give possession of the demised premises on the date of the commencement of the term hereof, because of the holding-over or retention of possession of any tenant, undertenant or occupants, or if the demised premises are located in a building being constructed, because such building has not been sufficiently completed to make the premises ready for occupancy or because of the fact that a certificate of occupancy has not been procured or for any other reason, Tenant may terminate this Lease and Owner shall return the Deposit and the Escrow Amount to Tenant within five (5) days of receipt of notice of such termination. If permission is given to Tenant to enter into the possession of the demised premises or to occupy premises other than the demised premises prior to the date specified as the commencement of the term of this lease, Tenant covenants and agrees that such possession and/or occupancy shall be deemed to be under all the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this lease except the obligation to pay the fixed annual rent set forth in the preamble to this lease. The provisions of this article are intended to constitute "an express provision to the contrary" within the meaning of Section 223-a of the New York Real Property Law.

No Waiver: 25. The failure of Owner to seek redress for violation of, or to insist upon the strict performance of any covenant or condition of this lease or of any of the Rules or Regulations set forth or hereafter adopted by Owner, shall not prevent a subsequent act which would have originally constituted a violation from having all the force and effect of an original violation. The receipt by Owner of rent and/or additional rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach and no provision of this lease shall be deemed to have been waived by Owner unless such waiver be in writing signed by Owner. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Owner of a lesser amount than the monthly rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be other than on account of the earliest stipulated rent, nor shall any endorsement or statement of any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Owner may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Owner's right to recover the balance of such rent or pursue any other remedy in this lease provided. No act or thing done by Owner or Owner's agents during the term hereby demised shall be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of said premises, and no agreement to accept such surrender shall be valid unless in writing signed by Owner. No employee of Owner or Owner's agent shall have any power to accept the keys of said premises prior to the termination of the lease and the delivery of keys to any such agent or employee shall not operate as a termination of the lease or a surrender of the premises.

Waiver of Trial by Jury: 26. It is mutually agreed by and between Owner and Tenant that the respective parties hereto shall and they hereby do waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim brought by either of the parties hereto against the other (except for personal injury or property damage) on any matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this lease, the relationship of Owner and Tenant, Tenant's use of or occupancy of said premises, and any emergency statutory or any other statutory remedy. It is further mutually agreed that in the event Owner commences any proceeding or action for possession including a summary proceeding for possession of the premises, Tenant will not interpose any counterclaim of whatever nature or description in any such proceeding including a counterclaim under Article 4 except for statutory mandatory counterclaims.
