In addition to base rent, the Company will be responsible for certain operating expenses specified in the Lease, including a proportionate share of real estate taxes and other customary costs incurred by Landlord. The Lease also contains customary default provisions allowing the Landlord to terminate the Lease if the Company fails to cure certain breaches of its obligations under the Lease within a specified period of time. In addition, the Company will be obligated to indemnify the Landlord for certain losses incurred in connection with the Company’s use and occupancy of the Premises.

The foregoing description of the Lease does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Lease, a copy of which will be filed with the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ending December 29, 2018.
