All payments received shall be applied first against unpaid late charges, then against unpaid interest, then against other charges due and payable hereunder, such as Additional Rent, then against Minimum Rent. Except as set forth in this Sub-Sublease, Tengion shall have no obligation to pay Minimum Rent or Additional Rent under the Lease or the Sublease, all of which obligations shall remain that of Steelcase or Corporate Interiors as applicable. Tengion shall have a notice and cure period with respect to the obligations under this Sub-Sublease including the payment of Minimum Rent and Additional Rent equal to the period provided to Steelcase and Corporate Interiors under the Lease and Sublease less three (3) days.
5. OBLIGATIONS. With respect to the Sub-Subleased Premises, Tengion shall be responsible for compliance with all of Corporate Interiors’ obligations as Subtenant under the Sublease and Steelcase’s obligations as Lessee under the Lease.
6. OPERATING EXPENSES.
(A) Tengion shall pay for its Proportionate Share, as defined herein, of all real estate taxes and common area maintenance charges net of tenant electric and gas charged under the Lease and/or Sublease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should the Sub-Subleased Premises be reassessed by the county, township or other governmental entity at any time during the term of the Sub-Sublease, due to a change in use or improvements made to the Sub-Subleased Premises by Tengion and not as part of a general reassessment, Tengion shall pay all increases in taxes due to such governmental entity.
(B) The parties mutually understand and agree that this Sub-Sublease Agreement is a net-net-net sub-sublease and that Tengion is responsible for all expenses incurred in connection with the use and occupancy of the Sub-Subleased Premises or imposed against or allocated to the Sub-Subleased Premises, including, without limitation, property taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance, as set forth in the Lease and all such expenses shall be allocated to the Sub-Subleased Premises based upon the square footage thereof in comparison to the actual square footage of the Building. If, for any reason, Tengion’s use or occupancy of the Sub-Subleased Premises causes Corporate Interiors to be liable for any additional rent or costs whatsoever, Tengion shall be fully responsible for the same, and shall upon ten (10) days prior demand shall reimburse Corporate Interiors for the same, as additional rent hereunder.
(C) To the extent possible, all utility services, including but not limited to gas, electric, water, and sewer service will be separately metered to the Sub-Subleased Premises and placed in Tengion’s name. Tengion shall pay all of the costs associated with having the utilities separately metered in the Sub-Subleased Premises. To the extent that utility services are separately metered, Tengion shall pay, directly to the provider of such service, all charges of utility companies or public authorities for the provision of gas, electric, water, sewer service or other services or utility furnished to the Sub-Subleased Premises as the same become due and payable. If it is not possible to place a utility service on a separate meter in Tengion’s name, the usage of utilities at the Sub-Subleased Premises will be measured by sub-meters or check meters which will be installed at Tengion’s sole cost and expense. Corporate Interiors shall read such sub-meters or check meters and all cost of demand, use and consumption of such utilities in the
3
Sub-Subleased Premises, as measured, shall be billed by Corporate Interiors without markup to Tengion and paid to Corporate Interiors by Tengion within thirty (30) days following invoice. Tengion shall have the right to review Corporate Interiors’ calculation of all such utility costs within thirty (30) days of demand for payment. Such review shall occur upon reasonable prior notice and at reasonable times during normal business hours, in a manner that shall not interfere with Corporate Interiors’ business operations. In the event that the review reveals any discrepancy materially adverse to Tengion, Tengion shall notify Corporate Interiors thereof in writing within thirty (30) days after such review. In the event that the parties are unable to agree upon the correct amount of the statement, either party may submit the issue to arbitration, the result of which shall be binding upon the parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, during the period of review, Tengion shall continue to pay the billed payments determined by Corporate Interiors as stated above until a resolution of such review. If Tengion shall not notify Corporate Interiors in writing of any dispute regarding the utilities within thirty (30) days after receipt from Corporate Interiors of a statement of the amount due, then such amount shall be deemed approved by Tengion.
(D) Tengion shall pay its Proportionate Share, as defined herein, of the costs of property and liability insurance required under the Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should Tengion’s use or occupancy of the Sub-Subleased Premises result in an increase in the property or liability insurance premiums for the Property, Tengion shall pay for all of such increase in premiums.
(E) All costs associated with providing janitorial or cleaning services to the Sub-Subleased Premises shall be paid by Tengion directly, except as specifically set forth in Section 13(B).
(F) As used herein, the term “Proportionate Share” shall mean a proportion calculated by dividing the square footage of the Building then occupied by Tengion by the total square footage of the Building.
7. SECURITY DEPOSIT.
(A) At the time of signing this Sub-Sublease, Tengion shall deposit with Corporate Interiors Four Hundred Eighty Eight Thousand Two Hundred Twenty Three and 90/100 Dollars ($488,223.90) (“Base Security Deposit”) in the form of a letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) in accordance with the provisions of Section 7(B) below, to be retained by Corporate Interiors during the term of this Sub-Sublease, except as otherwise provided herein, as security for the faithful performance and observance by Tengion of the covenants, agreements and conditions of this Sub-Sublease. Tengion shall be responsible for all costs associated with obtaining the Letter of Credit, provided, however, Tengion shall only be obligated to pay the costs incurred with respect to an assignment of the Letter of Credit to a successor to Corporate Interiors one time during the term hereof.
(B) If Tengion defaults beyond any applicable grace or cure period with respect to any provision of this Sub-Sublease, including, but not limited to, the provisions relating to the payment of rent, Corporate Interiors shall be entitled to draw under the Letter of Credit to cure Tengion’s default or to compensate Corporate Interiors for any other loss, cost or
4
damage that Corporate Interiors may suffer by reason of such default. If any portion of said deposit is so used or applied, Tengion shall within five (5) business days after written demand therefor, deposit cash with Corporate Interiors or provide a Letter of Credit in an amount sufficient to restore the security deposit to its original amount and Tengion’s failure to do so shall be a default under this Sub-Sublease. Any Letter of Credit given as security hereunder shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be in form and substance and issued by a financial institution which are all reasonably satisfactory to Corporate Interiors.
(C) (i) Throughout the Term of this Sub-Sublease, the principal amount of the Security Deposit shall be increased to cover the cost of restoring the Sub-Subleased Premises to its condition on the date of execution of this Sub-Sublease. The amount of the Security Deposit shall be increased each time Tengion is required to obtain a permit or approval for any improvements or renovations to the Sub-Subleased Premises. Said increased amount shall be determined within ninety (90) days following (i) the later of the date of execution of this Sub-Sublease or the date of completion of final, approved construction documents as described in the Lessor’s Consent, and (ii) the receipt of each permit or approval for any improvements or renovations to the Sub-Subleased Premises. The amount of such restoration obligation, or any increase thereto, shall be agreed to by Tengion and the Lessor and the Lessor shall further agree that Corporate Interiors and Steelcase shall not be responsible for the cost of restoration in excess of the additional amount of the security deposit tendered hereunder for the cost of restoration. Upon determination of said amount, Tengion, Corporate Interiors and Lessor shall execute a memorandum setting forth the agreed, higher amount of the Security Deposit and Tengion shall immediately effect or pay such increase (such increase, the “Restoration Deposit”). The Restoration Deposit will be tendered directly to Lessor as described in the Lessor’s Consent
(ii) If Tengion and Lessor are unable to agree as to the cost of such restoration, each of them shall engage the services of a reputable contractor to provide simultaneously to each of the parties independent estimates as to the cost of restoration and if the estimates are within ten percent (10%) of the larger estimate, the average of the two estimates shall be deemed to be the cost of restoration. If the difference between the two estimates is greater than ten percent (10%) of the larger estimate, then the two contractors shall choose a mutually acceptable third contractor who shall prepare its estimate which shall be delivered simultaneously to each of the parties and the average of the third estimate and the next closest (greater or smaller) estimate shall be deemed the cost of the restoration. Costs of the third contractor shall be divided equally between the parties. Upon determination of said amount, Tengion and Lessor shall execute a Memorandum setting forth the agreed, higher amount of the Restoration Deposit and Tengion shall immediately pay or effect such increase.
(iii) Further notwithstanding the foregoing, if, during the term of this Sub-Sublease, Lessor reasonably believes the costs of restoration may exceed the Restoration Deposit, then Lessor may request same be increased by its reasonable estimation. Should Tengion dispute the requested increase, then the parties will use the dispute resolution mechanism described in section (ii), above.
(D) Should Tengion occupy space in the Building in addition to the Sub-Subleased Premises, the amount of the Letter of Credit will be proportionately increased by an amount reasonably satisfactorily to Corporate Interiors.
5
(E) If Tengion is not in default at the expiration of the term of this Sub-Sublease and Tengion’s occupancy of the Property or any portion thereof continues pursuant to the Separate Lease, then Corporate Interiors shall return the Letter of Credit to Tengion, within five (5) business days following the expiration of the Sub-Sublease Term.
8. IMPROVEMENTS.
(A) Between the Sub-Sublease Commencement Date and February 28 2006, Tengion shall have access to the lower level Office Premises and the Warehouse Premises for purposes of making alterations and renovations for Tengion’s use and occupancy of the Sub-Subleased Premises. All construction shall be performed in accordance with the provisions of Section 54 of the Prime Lease and the Lessor Consent. Upon Lessor’s approval as to the exact location, Tengion may place construction/office trailers on the Property during any such alterations or renovations in accordance with Lessor’s rules and regulations. Any such construction/office trailer must be removed upon Tengion’s full occupancy of the Sub-Subleased Premises.
(B) Corporate Interiors may occupy the upper-level Office Premises through the later of February 28, 2006 or thirty (30) days from the date this Sub-Sublease is approved by Lessor’s mortgagee as contemplated in Section 29 below (the “CI Vacation Date”) but shall vacate and deliver to Tengion such space no later than 9:00 AM on the later of March 1, 2006 or the day following the CI Vacation Date. Corporate Interiors agrees to cooperate with Tengion during the period between the Sub-Sublease Commencement Date and CI Vacation Date and to assist in the transition to Tengion’s occupancy of the Sub-Subleased Premises.
(C) In the event Corporate Interiors fails to deliver vacant possession of the Sub-Subleased Premises (or the applicable portion with respect to the delivery described in Paragraph 8(A)) broom clean and free of all personalty to Tengion on or before the dates provided for such delivery, then Tengion shall be entitled to a day for day abatement of all rent for the entire Sub-Subleased Premises for each day that the Sub-Subleased Premises (or any portion thereof) is not delivered to Tengion as required in Paragraphs 8(A) and 8(B) which abatement shall xxxxx Rent commencing at such time as Tengion shall otherwise be obligated to commence making payments of Minimum Rent to Corporate Interiors pursuant to Paragraph 4 above.
(D) Tengion shall also have the right without charge to install and use and operate an above ground emergency generator, HVAC system, chillers, electrical transformer and related equipment (collectively, the “Outside Equipment”), including the right to interconnect the Outside Equipment with Tengion’s other equipment located in the Sub-Subleased Premises all as set forth in the plans for Tengion’s improvements previously approved by Lessor as set forth in the Lessor’s Consent or, in such other mutually agreeable location on the exterior of the Building, including the roof of the Building and the right to penetrate the roof of the Building.

(F) In connection with the improvements to be constructed by Tengion in the Sub-Subleased Premises, Tengion shall construct two restrooms (one male, one female) for the use of Corporate Interiors within the Expansion Space as shown on the plans and specifications approved pursuant to the Lessor Consent. Tengion shall construct such restrooms as part of and together with the improvements it is performing in the Sub-Subleased Premises. Prior to completion of such restrooms, Corporate Interiors shall be provided access to one restroom (which shall be lockable and therefore serve as a unisex restroom) on the second floor of the Sub-Subleased Premises. The new restroom facilities to be constructed within the Expansion Space shall be constructed by Tengion at its cost; provided, however, upon completion Corporate Interiors shall reimburse Tengion for one-half of the total cost thereof (but in no event greater than $10,000) upon Tengion’s invoice for such costs together with such other reasonable documentation as Corporate Interiors may request evidencing such costs.
9. EXPANSION SPACE.
(A) For purposes of this Sub Sublease, “Expansion Space” shall mean that certain space constituting the balance of the Building containing approximately Thirty Seven Thousand Thirty Seven (37,037) square feet of rentable warehouse space located on the first floor of the Building, as shown on Exhibit E attached hereto.

Prior to December 1, 2007, Corporate Interiors shall not be permitted to sublease any of such space to any party except if such further subleases are subject to termination in connection with Tengion’s exercise of its rights to expand into the Expansion Space and such third party agrees to return the portion of the Expansion Space it sublets to the condition of the space as of the commencement of such third party’s sub-sublease term upon vacating. Such right shall be exercised by Tengion by providing Corporate Interiors written notice at least six (6) months prior to Tengion’s occupancy of the Expansion Space. Tengion’s Expansion Right (as hereinafter defined) shall not expire with respect to any portion of the Expansion Space during the Sub-Sublease Term unless and until such space is subleased to a third party following the delivery of the Corporate Interiors’ Notice as described below.
7
(C) After December 1, 2007, and provided Tengion has not exercised the Expansion Right, in the event Corporate Interiors desires to sub-sublease the Expansion Space, or any part thereof (the “Refusal Space”), to a third party sub-subtenant and Corporate Interiors has an agreement in principle (in the form of an agreed upon letter of intent or other similar instrument) with said third party sub-subtenant, Corporate Interiors shall give Tengion written notice thereof (“Corporate Interiors’ Notice”) prior to Corporate Interiors entering into any sub-sublease for such Refusal Space, which notice shall specify (i) the square footage and layout of the Refusal Space which Corporate Interiors desires to sub-sublease, (ii) the date upon which such Refusal Space shall be available for occupancy; (iii) the intended manner of use of the Refusal Space by the prospective sub-subtenant and (iv) the terms upon which such Refusal Space is intended to be Sub-Subleased. Tengion shall thereupon have a right (a “Refusal Right”) to include in the Sub-Subleased Premises all, but not less than all, of the Refusal Space (as specified in Corporate Interiors’ Notice or as otherwise provided in this Section) and for a term which is coterminous with the term of this Sub-Sublease, upon the following terms and conditions:
(i) Tengion shall give Corporate Interiors written notice of its election to exercise a Refusal Right within five (5) business days after Corporate Interiors gives Tengion Corporate Interiors’ Notice for such Refusal Right; and
(ii) Tengion is not in default under this Sub-Sublease or any of the provisions of the Lease or the Sublease either on the date Tengion exercises such Refusal Right or the right of expansion set forth in Section 9(A) hereof (the “Expansion Right”) or at any time prior to the proposed effective date of inclusion of the applicable portion of the Expansion Space in the Sub-Subleased Premises.
(D) In the event that Tengion does not timely or properly exercise either the Refusal Right or the Expansion Right, Corporate Interiors may at any time thereafter sub-sublease the Expansion Space or the Refusal Space respectively to any third party tenant without any further rights of Tengion to sub-sublease such Refusal Space provided, however, if such sub-sublease is not executed and delivered by the parties thereto within ninety (90) days following the date of Corporate Interiors’ Notice or if the terms of such proposed sub sublease are altered in any material way (excluding any alteration to the economic terms which are not the subject of Tengion’s review), Corporate Interiors shall again offer the Refusal Space to Tengion as provided in Section 9(C).
(E) Minimum Rent for the Expansion Space and the Refusal Space shall be paid in accordance with the chart set forth below:
DATE | RENT PER SQUARE FOOT OF EXPANSION SPACE AND REFUSAL SPACE | ||
03/01/2006-02/28/2007 | $ | 6.25 | |
03/01/2007-02/29/2008 | $ | 6.50 | |

03/01/2010-02/28/2011 | $ | 7.25 |
8
In no event shall the rent per square foot of the Expansion Space or the Refusal Space be averaged or blended with the Minimum Rent paid with respect to the balance of the Sub-Subleased Premises and the rents to be paid for the Expansion Space or Refusal Space shall be calculated separate and apart from the Minimum Rent for balance of the Sub-Subleased Premises.
(F) In the event Tengion exercises any Refusal Right or Expansion Right provided herein, all of the terms and provisions of the Lease, the Sublease and this Sub-Sublease shall be applicable to that portion of the Refusal Space or the Expansion thereby included in the Sub-Subleased Premises, except as specifically set forth in this Section 9.
(G) In the event Tengion exercises the Refusal Right or an Expansion Right, the Letter of Credit tendered for the Security Deposit shall increase by an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the first eighteen months of Minimum Rent to be paid by Tengion for the Refusal Space leased (or if less, the Minimum Rent to be paid for the balance of the Sublease Term with respect to the Refusal Space) by (y) a fraction the numerator of which is the number of months remaining in the Sublease Term and the denominator of which is seventy five (75) and Corporate Interiors and Tengion shall promptly execute and deliver an amendment to this Sub-Sublease reflecting the inclusion of the applicable portion of such Expansion Space or Refusal Space in the Sub-Subleased Premises on the terms herein provided. In the event the restrooms depicted on Exhibit G are included in the Refusal Right, it shall be a condition to Tengion’s rights under this Section that Tengion will agree to construct comparable replacement restrooms in the event that the entire Expansion Space is not subleased by Tengion; provided, however, Tengion shall not be obligated to construct such restrooms unless and until such space is being utilized by Corporate Interiors or is sub-subleased to third party as provided in this Section 9 (i.e. Tengion shall not be obligated to construct such restrooms for purposes of making such space ready for occupancy in connection with Corporate Interiors’ sub-subleasing efforts).
(H) Tengion agrees to accept possession of such portion of such Expansion Space or Refusal Space in an “as is”, “where is” physical condition and Tengion shall not be entitled to any credit or allowance or other economic concession from Corporate Interiors for the improvement thereof.
(I) All Refusal Rights and Expansion Rights granted in this Sub-Sublease shall automatically terminate upon the earlier to occur of (i) the expiration or termination of this Sub-Sublease, (ii) the termination of Tengion’s right to possession of the Sub-Subleased Premises, or (iii) the assignment of this Sub-Sublease by Tengion or the sublease by Tengion of the Sub-Subleased Premises, or any part thereof except as permitted by Section 15 below.
(J) Tengion and Corporate Interiors each represent to the other that they have not dealt with any brokers or agents in connection with the negotiation of the Expansion Right or the Refusal Right and no commissions shall be due to any broker with respect to the exercise of any such right. Furthermore, the commissions due to Binswanger and Xxxxxxxx Xxxx as described in Section 26 below are not applicable to the Expansion Right or the Refusal Right. Each of Corporate Interiors and Tengion agree to indemnify and hold harmless the other from

In the event of any assignment of this Sub-Sublease made with or without the consent of Corporate Interiors, Tengion nevertheless shall remain liable for the performance of all of the terms, conditions and covenants of this Sub-Sublease. If Corporate Interiors gives its consent, it shall be a condition to effectiveness of the sublease or assignment that a fully executed copy thereof (in form and substance approved by Corporate Interiors) be delivered to Corporate Interiors, and that any assignee execute and deliver to Corporate Interiors an assumption of liability agreement in form reasonably satisfactory to Corporate Interiors, including an assumption by the assignee of all of the obligations of Tengion and the assignee’s ratification of and agreement to be bound by all the provisions, waivers, terms and conditions of this Sub-Sublease. If Tengion shall request the consent of Corporate Interiors to any assignment of this Sub-Sublease or subletting of all or part of the Subleased Premises, Tenant shall pay and deliver to Landlord as additional rent Corporate Interiors’ costs related thereto, including Corporate Interiors’ reasonable attorneys’ fees.

Pursuant to the terms of a Lease Agreement dated Xxxxx 00, 0000, Xxxxxxxxxxx has leased a free-standing 80,005 square foot building on approximately seven (7) acres (the “Property’), which seven (7) acres are located on the property described on Exhibit A hereto from Norriton Business Campus, L.P., a Pennsylvania limited partnership (the “Lessor”).
B A true copy of the Master Lease Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Lease”).
C. Subtenant wishes to sublease from Sublandlord all of the Property.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, it is agreed as follows:
1. Sublandlord hereby subleases the Property to Subtenant, and Subtenant hires the Property from Sublandlord, on the terms and subject to the covenants and conditions contained in the Lease, except that the provisions of Paragraph 7 (Termination of Lease), Paragraph 38 (Agency), Xxxxxxxxx 00 (Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxx), xxxxx (x) of Section 58 and the entire Section 60 (which are pan of Insert 26), and Inserts A-1, 1, 5, 8, 10,11,15B, 15C, 25 and 27 are deleted in their entirety. Additionally, any grace or cure periods contained in the Lease shall be reduced by five (5) days such that any ten (10) day period shall be reduced by a five (5) day period and any thirty (30) day period shall be a twenty-five (25) day period (other than the 10-day period contained in Insert 9 which shall remain 10 days). All of the other terms, covenants and conditions (except as modified by this instrument or inconsistent herewith) which are to be observed or performed by Sublandlord as Lessee under the Lease are incorporated herein by reference and imposed on Subtenant with the same force and effect as though fully set forth herein. Except where inconsistent with this Sublease Agreement, wherever the word “Lessor” appears in the Lease, the word “Sublandlord” shall be substituted; and wherever the word “Lessee” appears in the Lease, the word “Subtenant” shall be substituted. Subtenant covenants and agrees for itself and its successors and assigns that it shall perform and observe all of said terms, covenants and conditions, and that it shall do nothing which will have the effect of creating a breach on the part of Sublandlord of any of said terms, covenants or conditions.
2. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Sublease Agreement to the contrary, the term of this Sublease Agreement shall terminate one day before the termination of the term of the Lease. Subtenant may not exercise any renewal options under the Lease unless it accepts assignment of the Lease from Sublandlord, assumes all obligations thereunder, and executes and delivers to Landlord a confession of judgment for possession in substantially the same form as
that contained in the Lease. Sublandlord agrees to assign the Lease to Subtenant as soon as it is permitted to do so without Landlord’s consent under the terms of the Lease.
3. The Base Rent and Additional Rent under this Sublease Agreement so calculated shall be paid in advance without deduction or setoff, shall be paid by Subtenant directly (or at such other place as Sublandlord may subsequently designate in writing) to Lessor or other parties under the Lease, except that all sums due as a result of a breach by Subtenant shall be immediately paid. All payments received shall be applied first against unpaid late charges, then against unpaid interest, then against other charges due and payable hereunder, such as Additional Rent, then against Base Rent.
4. Subtenant shall be responsible for compliance with all of Sublandlord’s obligations as Lessee under the Lease. The parties mutually understand and agree that this Sublease Agreement is a net-net-net sublease and that Subtenant is responsible for all expenses incurred in connection with the use and occupancy of the Property or imposed against the Property, including, without limitation, property taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance, as set forth in the Lease. If, for any reason, Subtenant’s use or occupancy of the Property causes Sublandlord to be liable for any additional rent or costs whatsoever, Subtenant shall be fully responsible for the same, and shall upon demand reimburse Sublandlord for the same, as additional rent hereunder.
5. The parties acknowledge that certain other payments in addition to rent may, from time to time, become due and payable under the Lease by Sublandlord in its capacity as Lessee under the Lease. All such items shall be the responsibility of Subtenant, who shall make these payments to or on behalf of Lessor, or Sublandlord, as the case may be, in a timely manner.
6. If, for any reason, Subtenant is notified by Lessor of any breach of the terms, covenants or conditions contained in the Lease, Subtenant hereby agrees immediately to notify Sublandlord in writing of said notice, stating therein the grounds for the claimed breach, said writing to be sent to Sublandlord in the most expeditious manner available. Subtenant shall promptly cure said breach and shall promptly provide to Sublandlord written evidence of said cure. If, for any reason, Sublandlord is notified by Lessor of any breach of the terms, covenants or conditions contained in the Lease, Sublandlord hereby agrees immediately to notify Subtenant in writing of said notice, stating therein the grounds for the claimed breach, said writing to be sent to Subtenant in the most expeditious manner available.
7. As between Sublandlord and Subtenant, the terms of this Sublease Agreement shall govern in the event of any inconsistency between it and the Lease.
8. Notwithstanding anything contained in Paragraph 30 of the Lease to the contrary, all notices required hereunder will be given to the parties at the addresses set forth on the first page hereof.
9. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.2 (Insurance Coverages and Amounts), Subtenant shall name Lessor, Sublandlord and other parties as requested by Sublandlord as additional insured parties under all of Subtenant’s insurance policies required under this Sublease Agreement.
2
10. Subtenant shall pay all of Sublandlord’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in enforcing Sublandlord’s rights hereunder.
11. Time is of the essence of this Sublease Agreement, and this Sublease Agreement is expressly conditioned upon Subtenant’s full and timely performance of all of its obligations hereunder.
12. Nothing herein shall empower Subtenant to do any act which can, may or shall cloud or encumber Sublandlord’s or Lessor’s interests. Subtenant’s rights are and shall always be subordinate to the lien of any trust deed, mortgage, or other encumbrance now or hereafter placed upon the Property or any underlying lease now or hereafter created and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security thereof and Subtenant shall execute such further instruments evidencing the subordination of this Sublease Agreement to the lien or liens of any such trust deed, mortgage, or other encumbrance or to any such underlying lease as shall be requested by the Sublandlord. Subtenant hereby irrevocably appoints Sublandlord as attorney-in-fact for Subtenant with full authority to execute and deliver in the name of Subtenant any such instrument or instruments.
13. At the expiration or earlier termination of this Sublease Agreement, Subtenant covenants that it will peaceably and quietly leave and surrender the Property, together with all alterations, additions and improvements authorized under this Sublease Agreement and then a part of the Property, in good order, condition and repair, reasonably wear and tear excepted. If Subtenant retains possession of the Property or any part thereof after the termination of the term by lapse of time or otherwise, such holding over shall not operate to extend the term or renew this Sublease Agreement, except that at the election of the Sublandlord, such holding over shall renew the term for the period of one (1) month at one and one-half time the basic rent. Sublandlord’s acceptance of any rent after holding over does not renew this Sublease Agreement and the provisions of this Sublease Agreement do not waive Sublandlord’s rights or re-entry or any other right hereunder.
14. Notwithstanding anything contained in Insert 20, the reference to Lessor’s roof guarantor, after incorporation into this Sublease Agreement, should remain Lessor’s roof guarantor (and not Sublandlord’s roof guarantor).
15. SUBTENANT HAS CAREFULLY READ AND UNDERSTANDS ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF THE LEASE AND THIS SUBLEASE AGREEMENT AND ANY ADDENDUMS AND/OR INSERTS THERETO, INCLUDING THE PROVISIONS CONCERNING ENTRY OF AND EXECUTION OF CONFESSED JUDGMENT. IN NEGOTIATED THIS ARMS-LENGTH COMMERCIAL SUBLEASE, SUBTENANT HAS EITHER BEEN REPRESENTED BY COUNSELOR HAS DELIBERATELY CHOSE, FOR BUSINESS REASONS, NOT TO BE REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL.

(b) Waiver of Custom |
(b) It is hereby covenanted and agreed, any law, usage or custom to the contrary notwithstanding, that Lessor shall have the right at all times to enforce the covenants and provisions of this lease in strict accordance with the terms hereof, notwithstanding any conduct or custom on the part of the Lessor in refraining from so doing at any time or times; and, further, that the failure of Lessor at any time or times to enforce his rights under said covenants and provisions strictly in accordance with the same shall not be construed as having created a custom in any way or manner contrary to the specific terms, provisions and covenants of this lease or as having in any way or manner modified the same. | |
(c) Conduct of Lease |
||
(d) Failure of Lessee to Repair |
(d) In the event of the failure of Lessee promptly to perform the covenants of Section 14(b) hereof, and Lessee does not cure such failure within thirty (30) days after Lessee receives written notice of such failure from Lessor, Lessor may go upon the demised premises and perform such covenants, the cost thereof, at the sole option of Lessor, to be charged to Lessee as additional and delinquent rent. | |

(f) Security Interest Remedies of Lessor |
If the Lessee
(a) Does not pay in full when due any and all installments of rent and/or any other charge or payment therein reserved, included, or agreed to be treated or collected as rent and/or any other charge, expense, or cost herein agreed to be paid by the Lessee and Lessee does not cure such failure within ten (10) business days after Lessee receives written notice of such failure from Lessor, or
(b) Violates or fails to perform or otherwise breaks any covenant or agreement herein contained and Lessee does not cure such failure within thirty (30) days after Lessee receives written notice of such failure from Lessor; provided, however, in the event that such failure cannot be cured within said thirty (30) days, Lessee shall not be deemed in default hereunder if Lessee commences curing such failure within said thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently pursues such cure to completion; or

Lessor shall be entitled to retake possession of the Demised Premises and lease the Demised Premises for the account of Lessee (Lessor shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate Lessor’s damages). In such circumstance, if the sums received by Lessor are insufficient to pay the rent and other obligations of Lessee under this Lease as they become due, Lessee shall pay Lessor the difference between the amounts collected by Lessor and the amounts due and owing Lessor under the terms of this Lease. Further, if this lease or any part thereof is assigned, or if the premises, or any part thereof is sub-let, Lessee hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lessor as Lessee’s agent to collect the rents due from such assignee or sub-lessee and apply the same to the rent due hereunder without in any way affecting Lessee’s obligation to pay any unpaid balance of rent due hereunder; or
(2) At the option of Lessor, this lease and the terms hereby created shall determine and become absolutely void without any right on part of Lessee to reinstate this lease by payment of any sum due or by other performance of any condition, term, or covenant broken; whereupon, Lessor shall be entitled to recover damages for such breach in an amount equal to the amount of rent reserved for the balance of the [illegible] of this lease, less the fair rental value of the said demised premises for the remainder of the lease term. | |
21. Further Remedies of Lessor |
In the event of any default as above set forth in Section 20, Lessor, or anyone acting on Lessor’s behalf, at Lessor’s option:
(a) May let said premises or any part or parts thereof to such person or persons as may, in Lessor’s discretion, be best; and Lessee shall be liable for any loss or rent for the balance of the then current term. Any such re-entry or re-letting by Lessor under the terms hereof shall be without prejudice to Lessor’s claim for actual damages, and shall under no circumstances, release Lessee from liability for such damages arising out of the breach of any of the covenants, terms, and conditions of this lease.
(c) May have and exercise any and all other rights and/or remedies, granted or allowed landlords by any existing or future Statute, Act of Assembly, or other law of this state in cases where a landlord seeks to enforce rights arising under a lease agreement against a tenant that has defaulted or otherwise breached the terms of such lease agreement; subject, however, to all of the rights granted or created by any such Statute, Act of Assembly, or other law of this state existing for the protection and benefit of tenants; and
(d) May have and exercise any and all other rights and remedies contained in this lease agreement, including the rights and remedies provided by Section 23 hereof. | |

||
23. Confession of Judgment for Possession of Real Property |
Lessee covenants and agrees that if this lease shall be terminated (either because of condition broken during the term of this lease or renewal or extension thereof and/or when the term hereby created or any extension thereof shall have expired) then, and in |
6
that event, Lessor may cause a judgment in ejectment to be entered against Lesssee for possession of the demised premises and for that purpose Lessee [illegible] authorizes and empowers any Prothonotary, Clerk of Court or Attorney or any Court of Record to appear for Lessee and to confess judgment against Lessee in Ejectment for possession of the herein demised premises, and agrees that Lessor may commence an action pursuant to Pennsylvania Rules of Procedure No. 2970 et seq. for the entry of an order in Ejectment for the possession of real property, and Lessee further agrees that a Writ of Possession pursuant thereto may issue forthwith, for which authorization to confess judgment and for the issuance of a writ or writs of possession pursuant thereto, this lease, or a true and correct copy thereof, shall be sufficient warrant. Lessee further covenants and agrees, that if for any reason whatsoever, after said action shall have commenced the action shall be terminated and the possession of premises demised hereunder shall remain in and be restored to Lessee, Lessor shall have the right upon any subsequent default or defaults, or the termination of this lease as above set forth to commence successive actions for possession of real property and to cause the entry of successive judgments by confession in Ejectment for possession of the premises demised hereunder. | ||
24. Affidavit of Default |
In any procedure or action to enter judgment by Confession in Ejectment for possession of real property pursuant to Section 23 hereof, if Lessor shall first cause to be filed in such action an affidavit or averment of the facts constituting the default of occurrence of the [illegible] precedent, or event, the happening of which default, occurrence or event authorizes and empowers Lessor to cause entry of judgment by confession, such affidavit or averment shall be conclusive evidence of such facts, defaults, occurrences, [illegible], [illegible], or events; and if a true copy of this lease (and of the truth of which affidavit or averment shall be sufficient evidence) be filed in such procedure or action, it shall not be necessary to file the original as a Writ of Attorney, any rule of court, custom, or practice to the contrary not withstanding. | |
25. Waivers by Lessee of Errors, Right of Appeal, Stay, Exemption, Inquisition |
Lessee hereby releases to Lessor and to any and all attorneys who may appear for Lessee all errors in any procedure or action to Judgment by Confession by virtue of the warrants of attorney contained in this lease, and all liability therefore. Lessee further authorizes Prothonotary or any Clerk of any Court of Record to issue a Writ of Execution or other process, and further agrees that real estate [illegible] sold on a Writ of Execution or other process. If proceedings shall be commenced to recover possession of the demised premises either at [illegible] of the term or sooner termination of this lease, or for non-payment of rent or for any other reason, Lessee specifically waives the right [illegible] three (3) months’ notice to quit and/or the fifteen (15) or thirty (30) days’ notice to quit required by the Act of April 6, 1951, P.L., as amended, and agrees that five (5) days’ notice shall be sufficient in either or any such case. | |
26. Right of Assignee of Lessor |
The right to enter judgment against Lessee by confession and to enforce all of the other provisions of this lease herein provided for a [illegible] the option of any assignee of this lease, be exercised by any assignee of the Lessor’s right, title and interest in this lease in his, her, or the [illegible] name, any statute, rule of court, custom, or practice in to the contrary notwithstanding. | |
27. Remedies Cumulative |
All of the remedies hereinbefore given to Lessor and all rights and remedies given to it by law and equity shall be cumulative and current. No determination of this lease or the taking or recovering possession of the premises shall deprive Lessor of any of its remedies or [illegible] against the Lessee for rent due at the time or which, under the terms hereof, would in the future become due as if there had been no determination, nor shall the brining of any action for rent or breach of covenant, or the resort to any other remedy herein provided for the [illegible] of rent be construed as a waiver of the right to obtain possession of the premises. | |
28. Condemnation |
In the event that the premises demised herein, or any part thereof, is taken or condemned for a public or quasi-public use, this lease shall, as to the part so taken, terminate as of the date title shall vest in the condemnor and, rent shall xxxxx in proportion to the square feet of space taken or condemned or shall cease if the entire premises be so taken. In either event the Lessee waives all claims against the Lessor by reason of the complete or partial taking of the demised premises. |
7

In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Addendum and the preprinted provisions of this Lease, the provisions or this Addendum shall control and shall be given full force and effect without regard to any conflicting or contrary preprinted provisions.
34. Commencement.
(A) The term of this Lease shall commence (the “Commencement Date”) on the earlier of the following (i) the date of “Substantial Completion”, as defined below, of the Demised Premises, (ii) the date on which Lessee shall take exclusive possession of the Demised Premises. The term shall continue for a period of twelve (12) years. In the event the Lease commences on a day other than the first day of the month, the term shall continue until the last day of the month in which such twelve (12) year period ends), unless extended or sooner terminated as herein provided.
(B) The term “Substantial Completion” shall mean the date Lessor offers Lessee exclusive possession of the Demised Premises (regardless of whether or not Lessee actually occupies the Demised Premises) in that state of completion of the Demised Premises which will, except for any improvements or work to be performed by Lessee, allow Lessee to utilize the Demised Premises for their intended purposes (including the availability of required utility services) without material interference to the customary business activities of Lessee by reason of the completion of Lessor’s work. The Demised Premises shall be deemed substantially complete even though minor or insubstantial details of construction, mechanical adjustment or decoration remain to be performed, the noncompletion of which does not materially interfere with Lessee’s use of the Demised Premises or the conduct of its business thereof.
(C) When the Commencement Date of the term of this Lease is established, Lessor and Lessee shall promptly execute and acknowledge a memorandum acknowledging such Date of commencement.
(D) On the Date of Commencement of the term of this Lease, it shall be presumed that all work theretofore performed by or on behalf of Lessor was satisfactorily performed in accordance with, and meeting the requirements of, this Lease. The foregoing presumption shall not apply, however, to required work not actually completed by Lessor, which Lessor agrees it shall complete with reasonable speed and diligence.
(E) Lessor covenants that Lessor shall substantially complete the Lessor improvements consistent with Paragraph 55 (Lessor Improvements) of this Lease, on or before December 1, 1998. The time within which Lessor shall be required to perform the Lessor improvements shall be extended to the extent that the completion of such improvements shall be delayed by acts of God, fire, windstorm, flood, explosion, collapse of structures, riot, war, or labor disputes; provided, however, that Lessor shall give prompt written notice to Lessee of the occurrence causing such delay. In the event Lessor fails to substantially complete the Lessor improvements consistent with Paragraph 55 (Lessor Improvements) of this Lease on or before the date required under this Paragraph, Lessor shall indemnify, defend, and hold Lessee harmless from all damages incurred by Lessee resulting from such failure, including, without limitation, (i) any rental premium that Lessee is required to pay during any hold over necessitated by such failure; (ii) any eviction proceedings resulting from such failure; (iii) any moving expenses reasonably incurred by Lessee resulting from such failure; and (iv) the difference in the rent Lessee is currently paying for Lessee’s existing space and the rent Lessee is required to pay for any temporary space required as a result of such failure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor’s liability under the preceding sentence shall not exceed $100,000. Lessee shall keep Lessor reasonably apprised of Lessee’s existing lease arrangement and Lessee shall provide Lessor reasonable documentation regarding any damages Lessee suffers as a result of Lessor’s breach. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, in the event the Lessor improvements are not substantially complete on or before February 1, 1999, Lessee may, in addition to pursuing Lessor for Lessee’s damages as provided in this Insert 8, terminate this Lease by written notice to Lessor. If Lessor shall be unable to deliver possession of the Demised Premises to Lessee on the date specified for commencement of the term hereof, the rent and all other sums reserved and covenanted to be paid herein shall not commence until possession of the Demised Premises is given or the Demised Premises are available for occupancy by Lessee.

(B) If the term of this Lease begins on a day other than the first day of a month, rent from such day until the first day of the following month shall be prorated (at the rate of one-thirtieth (1/30) of the fixed monthly rental for each day) and shall be payable, in arrears, on the first day of the first full calendar month of the term hereof.
(C) If Lessor, at any time or times, shall accept said rent or any other sum due to it hereunder after the same shall become due and payable, such acceptance shall not excuse delay upon subsequent occasions, or constitute, or be construed as, a waiver of any of Lessor’s rights hereunder.
(D) All sum payable by Lessee under this Lease, whether or not stated to be rent or additional rent, shall be collectible by Lessor as additional rent, and in default in payment thereof Lessor shall have the same rights and remedies as for failure to pay rent (without prejudice to any other right or remedy available therefore).
36. Late Charge.
In the event Lessee fails to pay any sum due Lessor hereunder within ten (10) business days after the date Lessee receives written notice that such sum is delinquent, Lessee shall pay
3
Lessor a late charge of six percent (6%) of the delinquent sum. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Paragraph to the contrary, Lessor shall only be required to provide Lessee two (2) written notices of any payment delinquency in any calendar year. In the event Lessee is delinquent three (3) or more times in any calendar year, the referenced late charge shall apply without any notice or opportunity to cure.
Further, no payment by Lessee or Lessor’s Agent, of a lesser amount than any installment or payment of rent or additional rent due shall be deemed to be other than on account of the amount due, and no endorsement or statement on any check or payment shall be deemed an accord and satisfaction. Lessor, or Lessor’s Agent, may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Lessor’s right to recover the balance of such installment or payment due, or pursue any other remedies available to Lessor.
37. Renewal Options.
(A) Lessee shall have the right and option to extend the term of this Lease for one (1) additional term of five years. Lessee may exercise this option only if, at the time of such exercise Lessee is not in default of any of its monetary obligations under this Lease which remains uncured after the giving of any required notice and the expiration of any applicable grace period. Lessee must exercise this renewal option by giving notice of such exercise to Lessor at least nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the then current term of this Lease.
(B) Determination of Fair Market Rent
(i) As used in this Article “Fair Market Rental” shall mean the amount of annual Basic Rental, expressed in dollars and cents per square foot, equal to the fair market rental then in effect on comparable industrial buildings in the Central Xxxxxxxxxx County industrial market. Under the same terms and conditions of this Lease and reflecting that no additional tenant improvements shall be made.
(ii) By Agreement. If requested to do so at my time within fourteen (14) months prior to the expiration of the then current Term or this Lease, Lessor will within thirty (30) days following receipt of such request advise the Lessee of the Minimum Rent that Lessor believes to be the Fair Market Rent for the Demised Premises. Unless Lessee invokes the procedure set forth in Paragraph 37(c)(iii) below, the amount so specified by Lessor as the Fair Market Rent for the Demised Premises will be the Minimum Rent for the ensuing Renewal Term if Lessee exercises its option to renew this Lease for such Renewal Term.
4
(iii) By Appraisal.
(A) In the event that Lessee shall dispute Lessor’s determination of the Fair Market Rent for the Renewal Term, then Lessee shall so notify Lessor no later than ten (10) days after receiving the notice of Lessor’s determination. In its notice, Lessee shall designate an individual (who shall be an M.A.I. appraiser with at least five (5) years experience in industrial buildings in the Central Xxxxxxxxxx County industrial market) to act as its appraiser hereunder. Within ten (10) days after receiving Lessee’s notice as aforesaid, Lessor shall designate an individual (who shall be an M.A.I. appraiser with at least five(5) years experience in industrial buildings in the Central Xxxxxxxxxx County industrial market) to act as its appraiser hereunder.
(B) The two individuals so designated as appraisers shall, within ten (10) days after the appointment of the second appraiser, agree upon the selection of a third appraiser (who shall be an M.A.I. appraiser with at least five (5) years experience in industrial buildings in the Central Xxxxxxxxxx County industrial market), but if the two appraisers are unable to so agree, the American Arbitration Association shall appoint an individual (who shall be an M.A.I. appraiser with at least five (5) years experience in industrial buildings in the Central Xxxxxxxxxx County industrial market) to act as third appraiser hereunder.
(C) At a meeting by such third appraiser upon at least ten (10) days prior written notice to the other appraisers and the parties and held within twenty (20) days following the appointment of the third appraiser, each appraiser shall state in writing his or her individual determination of the Fair Market Rent and the three appraisers shall simultaneously reveal their determinations. Each such determination shall be stated as a single dollar amount per square foot area per annum in the Demised Premises with appropriate increases applied to each year of the Renewal Term. The determination farthest from the median determination shall be disregarded and the Minimum Rent for such Renewal Term shall be the average of the remaining two determinations, provided, however, that if highest and lowest of the three determinations are equidistant, from the median determination the Minimum Rent for such Renewal Term shall be the median determination. Lessor and Lessee shall share equally the cost of any appraisals pursuant to Paragraph 37 (c)(iii).
38. Agency. It is agreed and understood by all parties made a part hereto, that Xxxxxxxx Realty Corp. is the sole and exclusive agent for Lessor on said property. Accordingly, Xxxxxxxx Realty Corp. shall be paid by Lessor at the rate of commission as outlined in a separate “Agency
5
