AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, Landlord and Tenant, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1.Surrender.  Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in broom clean condition no later than the Termination Date.

2.Termination Fee.  Tenant shall pay to Landlord, a termination fee equal to Twenty-Two Million Three Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($22,350,000.00) (the “Termination Fee”) as a fee and not a penalty.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that Tenant previously paid Rent for the month of February 2026 in the amount of Eight Hundred Fifty-Three Thousand One Hundred Sixty-Nine and 66/100 Dollars ($853,169.66), which amount shall be credited against the Termination Fee.  Accordingly, on or prior to the Execution Date, Tenant shall transfer to Landlord by wire in immediately available funds, an amount equal to Twenty-One Million Four Hundred Ninety-Six Thousand Eight Hundred Thirty and 34/100 Dollars ($21,496,830.34).  This Termination Fee shall be in full satisfaction of any and all obligations Tenant may have under the Lease now or in the future pertaining to the payment of Rent.

3.Lease Termination.  Provided that Tenant has fully satisfied all of its obligations set forth in Section 1 and Section 2 of this Agreement (collectively, the “Termination Obligations”), then the Lease shall terminate effective as of 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on the Termination Date (“Lease Termination”).  As of the Lease Termination, the Lease shall be fully

5.Reservation of Rights.  Notwithstanding this Lease Termination, Landlord does not waive, and hereby reserves, any rights and/or remedies that Landlord may have under Lease Sections 21.7 (Hazardous Materials) and 28.5 (Indemnification and Exculpation).  Landlord represents that it is not aware as of the Execution Date of the existence of (i) any default of Tenant under the Lease, or (ii) any condition that, but for the passage of time or giving of notice, would constitute a default of Tenant under the Lease, including but not limited to as to Lease Sections 21.7 and 28.5.

6.Quitclaim.  To the extent, if any, that the Lease gives Tenant any right, title or interest in or to the Premises, Tenant does hereby remise, release and quitclaim to Landlord such right, title or interest in or to the Premises as of the Lease Termination and shall execute and deliver to Landlord any documentation reasonably requested by Landlord to effect or document such remise, release and quitclaim.

7.Representation of Parties.  Each party represents that it has not made any assignment, sublease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of the Lease or any interest therein, nor made or entered into any agreement that would result in any mechanic’s lien or other claim, demand, obligation, liability, action or cause of action arising from or with respect to the Lease or the Premises.

8.Attorneys’ Fees.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, each party shall pay its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and such party’s performance under this Agreement, provided, that if either party commences an action, proceeding, demand, claim, action, cause of action or suit against the other party arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, then the substantially prevailing party shall be reimbursed by the other party for all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the substantially prevailing party in such action, proceeding, demand, claim, action, cause of action or suit, and in any appeal in connection therewith (regardless of whether the applicable action, proceeding, demand, claim, action, cause of action, suit or appeal is voluntarily withdrawn or dismissed).
