In

9. Utilities.
Beginning on the Sublease Commencement Date, Sublandlord’s account with
electrical, water, sewer and other utilities for the Original Premises will
be
transferred to Subtenant for the Sublease Term. Throughout the Sublease Term,
Subtenant shall be responsible to pay, and shall pay, all utilities for both
the
Subleased Premises and the Retained Premises less the monthly sum of $100.00,
which monthly $100.00 amount shall be payment by Sublandlord for utilities

Agreement.
11. Maintenance
and Condition of the Subleased Premises.
Throughout the term of the Sublease, Subtenant shall maintain the Subleased
Premises in such condition as delivered by Sublandlord to Subtenant on the
Sublease Commencement Date. Upon expiration of the Sublease Term, the Subleased
Premises shall be surrendered to Sublandlord in the same condition and without
removal of any equipment other than the Machine in the event of a sale or
exercise of the Reimbursement Option as set forth in the Separation Agreement.
Without limiting the foregoing, Subtenant and Sublandlord specifically agree
that the Gas Lines will be maintained throughout the Sublease Term and
surrendered to Sublandlord upon expiration of the Sublease Term in the same
condition as delivered on the Sublease Commencement Date. Without Sublandlord’s
prior written consent, the Gas Lines shall not be used by Subtenant except
as
set forth herein, shall not be included in any sale of the Machine and shall
not
be removed from the Subleased Premises.
12. Alterations.
Subtenant shall not make any alterations, additions, or improvements to the
Subleased Premises without Sublandlord’s prior written consent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, and in compliance with the Master Lease.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sublandlord hereby consents to Subtenant
installing new locks on all doors accessing the Subleased Premises.
13. Assignment
and Subletting.
No
portion of the Subleased Premises or of Subtenant’s interest in this Sublease
may be acquired by any other person or entity, whether by assignment, mortgage,
sublease, transfer, operation of law or act of Subtenant, without the prior
written consent of Sublandlord and Landlord in accordance with the Master Lease,
such consents not to be unreasonably withheld.
14. Termination
for Cause.
This
Sublease may be terminated by either party for cause in the event of a material
breach by the other party (“breaching party”) of this Sublease or a “Material
Breach” as defined in the Separation Agreement, upon thirty (30) days advance
written notice to the breaching party if said material breach is not cured
within thirty (30) days of the written notice. Upon such termination for cause,
Subtenant shall have vacated the Subleased Premises and the Subleased Premises
shall revert to Sublandlord.
15. The
Master Lease.
This
Sublease is subject to the Master Lease. The provisions of the Master Lease
are
incorporated into this Sublease as though Sublandlord were the Landlord under
the Master Lease and Subtenant were the Tenant under the Master Lease, to the
extent any such provisions apply to the Subleased Premises. Capitalized terms
used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned thereto
in the Master Lease. Subtenant has received a copy of the Master Lease. In
the
event the Master Lease terminates or expires for any reason, this Sublease
shall

Without
limiting the foregoing in any manner, Subtenant expressly agrees with respect
to
the Subleased Premises that Tenant’s restoration, maintenance and repair
obligations set forth at paragraphs 9 - 10 of the Master Lease shall apply
to
Subtenant; provided, however, that Subtenant’s obligations hereunder shall be
limited to the conditions of the Subleased Premises as they exist on the
Sublease Commencement Date. Subtenant further expressly agrees with respect
to
paragraph 20 of the Master Lease that: (i) Tenant’s indemnity obligations set
forth therein shall apply to Subtenant, and Sublandlord shall be an additional
indemnitee with respect to such obligations; and (ii) Subtenant shall maintain
Commercial General Liability insurance as set forth therein, naming Sublandlord
as an additional insured, and Subtenant shall provide a certificate or other
proof of such insurance coverage to Sublandlord at its request.
Provided
further, that such restoration, maintenance, repair and indemnity obligations
of
Subtenant shall exclude any liability, damage or injury caused by Sublandlord
and/or its employees, contractors and agents in connection with Sublandlord’s
use of the Retained Premises and/or access to the Subleased Premises pursuant
to
Paragraph 7 above.

Date:

2008
Landlord
hereby consents to the subletting of the subleased premises described in the
Sublease (the “Subleased
Premises”)
by
Tenant to Subtenant, so long as:
1. Tenant
continues to pay all Rent and other sums and the performance of all covenants
required of Tenant under the Master Lease, in accordance with the terms of
the
Master Lease.
2. If
a
default by Tenant under the Master Lease occurs beyond any applicable period
of
notice and cure, Landlord agrees to provide notice of such default to Subtenant
in accordance with paragraph 16 of the Sublease, and Subtenant shall have the
right, but not obligation, to cure Tenant’s default within five (5) days after
receipt of such notice. Providing Subtenant an additional period to cure
Tenant’s default will not constitute a waiver by Landlord of any of Landlord’s
rights against Tenant as result of such default. If Subtenant fails to cure
Tenant’s default within such 5 day period, Landlord may exercise all rights and
remedies it may have against Tenant under the Master Lease or otherwise. If
the
Master Lease is terminated as a result of Tenant’s default under the Master
Lease, in addition to all other rights and remedies of Landlord, the Sublease
will automatically terminate.
3. The
Sublease may not be amended except by written consent in advance of
Landlord.
4. All
rights and remedies of Subtenant pursuant to the Sublease, if any, will be
solely against Sublandlord. Neither this Consent nor the Sublease will give
Subtenant any rights under the Master Lease except those expressly granted
by
the Sublease.
5. If
any
conflict between the Master Lease and the Sublease occurs, the Master Lease
will
control.
6. Landlord
approves of the terms, conditions and agreements contained in the Sublease
(all
of which shall be subordinate and subject at all times to the terms, covenants
and conditions of the Master Lease), provided, however, Landlord assumes no
liability or obligation of any kind whatsoever on account of anything contained
in the Sublease. Landlord hereby consents to Subtenant changing the locks on
all
doors accessing the Subleased Premises, so long as Subtenant provides a copy
of
all keys to such locks to Landlord for fire or police department emergency
access.
7. By
executing this consent, Landlord shall not be deemed to have waived any rights
under the Master Lease, Tenant shall not be deemed to have waived or been
released from any of its obligations under the Master Lease, nor shall Landlord
be deemed to have waived Tenant’s obligations to obtain any required consents
under the Master Lease (other than consent to the Sublease itself).
8. The
Sublease shall be deemed and agreed to be a sublease only and not an assignment
and there shall be no further subletting or assignment of all or any portion
of
the Subleased Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Master Lease.
