Notwithstanding the foregoing, if by reason of a Casualty (i) the Premises shall be totally damaged or destroyed, (ii) the Premises shall be so damaged or destroyed that repair or restoration shall require more than 270 days or the expenditure of more than forty percent (40%) of the full insurable value of the Building (which, for purposes of this Section 10.2, shall mean replacement cost less the cost of footings, foundations and other structures below the street and first floors of the Building) immediately prior to the Casualty or (iii) more than fifty percent (50%) of the Building shall be damaged or destroyed (as estimated in any such case by a reputable contractor, architect or engineer designated by Lessee), then in any such case Lessee may terminate this Lease by notice given to Lessor within 180 days after the Casualty. If the holder of any Mortgage on the Premises shall have the right to apply the insurance proceeds which would otherwise be payable for restoration of the Premises on account of the Mortgage debt and does in fact so apply such proceeds, then Lessor may, at its option, either (i) make available to Lessee funds equivalent to such insurance proceeds or (ii) terminate this Lease by written notice given to Lessee within 30 days after the aforesaid Mortgage debt has been satisfied, and in any event no later than 90 days after the Casualty. If Lessor shall elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to this Section 10.2, then such termination shall be effective as of the last day of the calendar month in which such termination notice is given.

ARTICLE 11

CONDEMNATION

Section 11.1.Notice of Condemnation. In the event the Premises or any part thereof shall be condemned and taken for a public or a quasi-public use, Lessee will promptly give written notice thereof to Lessor generally describing the nature and extent of such condemnation or taking or the nature of such proceedings and negotiations and the nature and extent of the taking which might result therefrom, as they case may be. Any award made to compensate either Lessor or Lessee for its damage or loss shall be deposited with Lessor, or with any holder of a Mortgage encumbering the Premises, if required by said holder.

Section 11.2.Partial Condemnation. In the event that a portion of the Premises, but less than the entire Premises, is taken or condemned by eminent domain as aforesaid, Lessor shall have the right, at its option, to require Lessee to make such repairs as are necessary to restore the Premises as nearly as possible to the condition they were in immediately prior to the taking, but only if and to the extent that Lessor shall make available to Lessee the net proceeds of the condemnation award (which shall be the total award less the sum of (i) any costs or expenses incurred by Lessor in collecting the award and (ii) so much of the award as may be allocated to land value) on the same terms and conditions as contained in hereof with respect to restoration or repair of the Premises in the event of damage by fire or other casualty.

If the Building cannot be restored to a complete architectural unit, or if the taking is so extensive that the Building would not, after restoration, be suitable for its present use as an industrial facility, the taking shall be considered total and Section 11.3 below will apply. If the holder of any Mortgage on the Premises shall apply the award to the principal balance of such Mortgage, Lessor shall make the election provided in Section 11.3(c) below.

Section 11.3.Abatement of Rent. In the event of a partial taking rent shall abate equitably in proportion to the area of the Premises condemned as of the day on which the condemning authority shall take possession of the condemned property.

(a) In the event the entire Premises are taken or condemned by any public or quasi-public authority exercising the right of eminent domain, this Lease shall terminate as of the date of condemning authority takes possession of the Premises, with the same force and effect as though such date were the date fixed herein for expiration of the term. The entire amount of any award for such taking shall belong to Lessor except for moving and business interruption expenses, if any, awarded directly to Lessee, and Lessee hereby waives any other right he may have to any portion of such award.

(b) If the condemning authority should take only the right to possession for a fixed period of time or for the duration of an emergency or other temporary condition, then, notwithstanding anything hereinabove provided, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect without any abatement of rent, and the amounts payable by condemning authority with respect to any period of time prior to the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease shall be paid by Lessor to Lessee out of the amount of the award and the condemning authority shall be considered a subtenant of Lessee.

(c) If Lessor and Lessee are unable to agree as to whether any taking is so substantial as to constitute a total taking for purposes of this Lease, or as to the amount of abatement of rent after a partial taking, the matter shall be submitted to arbitration in Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association then in force and the decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on both parties.

(d) In the event of a partial taking, if and to the extent the condemnation award exceeds the cost of reconstruction (as in the case of a road widening which requires no reconstruction) such excess shall belong to Lessor.

ARTICLE 12

DEFAULT

Section 12.1.Events of Default. The following events or any one or more of them shall be an event of default (each, an“Event of Default”)under this Lease:

(a) Lessee shall fail to pay any Fixed Rent or Additional Rent within thirty (30) days after written notice from Lessor that the same is due and payable; or

(b) Lessee shall fail to perform or comply with any of the other terms, covenants, agreements or conditions hereof and such failure shall continue for more than thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Lessor, provided if the default cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, Lessee shall not be considered in default if Lessee shall, within such period, have commenced with due diligence and dispatch to cure such default, and shall thereafter complete with due diligence the curing of such default; or

(c) Lessee shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due, or shall file a petition in bankruptcy, or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or shall file a petition seeking any reorganization, arrangements, composition readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, or shall file an answer admitting or not contesting the material allegations of a petition against it in any such proceeding, or shall seek or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Lessee or any material part of its properties; or

(d) If within 60 days after the commencement of any proceeding against Lessee seeking any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation or dissolution or similar relief under any present or future statute, law or regulation, such proceeding shall not have been dismissed, or if, within 60 days after the appointment without the consent or acquiescence of Lessee, if any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Lessee, or of any material part of its properties, such appointment shall not have been vacated.

Section 12.2.Remedies. In the event of any Event of Default, (regardless of the pendency of any proceeding which has or might have the effect of preventing Lessee from complying with the terms of this Lease), Lessor at any time thereafter may exercise any one or more of the following remedies:

(a) Lessor may terminate this Lease, without any right by Lessee to reinstate its rights by payment of rent due or other performance of the terms and conditions hereof. Upon such termination Lessee shall immediately surrender possession of the Premises to Lessor.

(b) With or without terminating this Lease, as Lessor may elect, Lessor may re-enter and repossess the Premises, or any part thereof, and lease them to any other person or entity upon such terms as Lessor shall deem reasonable, for a term within or beyond the Term of this Lease; provided, that any such reletting prior to termination shall be for the account of Lessee, and Lessee shall remain liable for (a) all Fixed Rent, Additional Rent and other sums which would be payable under this Lease by Lessee in the absence of such expiration, termination or repossession, less (b) the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting (including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys’ fees and expenses, employees’ expenses, reasonable alteration costs, and expenses of preparation for such reletting). If the Premises are at the time of the Event of Default sublet or leased by Lessee to other tenants, Lessor may, as Lessee’s agent, collect rents due from any subtenant or other tenant and apply such rents to the rent and other amounts due hereunder without in any way affecting Lessee’s obligation to Lessor hereunder. Such agency, being given for security, is hereby declared to be irrevocable.

(c) Lessor may declare the Fixed Rent and all Additional Rent for the entire balance of the then current term immediately due and payable, together with all other charges, payments, costs, and expenses payable by Lessee as though such amounts were payable in advance on the date the event of default occurred.

No expiration or termination of this Lease pursuant to this Section 12.2 or by operation of law or otherwise (except as expressly provided herein), and no repossession of the Premises or any part thereof pursuant to Section 12.2 or otherwise shall relieve Lessee of its liabilities and obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive such expiration, termination or repossession, and Lessor may, at its option, sue for and collect rent and other charges due hereunder at any time and from time to time as and when such charges accrue.

Section 12.3.Interest. Any Fixed Rent or Additional Rent due to Lessor from Lessee overdue for a period of more than thirty (30) days shall bear interest at the rate of Wall Street Journal prime plus 5% per annum until unpaid.

Section 12.4.No Waiver. No waiver by Lessor of any breach of Lessee of any of its obligations, agreements or covenants hereunder shall be a waiver of any subsequent breach or of any other obligation, agreement or covenant, nor shall any forbearance by Lessor to seek a remedy for any breach by Lessee be a waiver by Lessor of its rights and remedies with respect to such or any subsequent breach.

Section 12.5.Removal of Property. Upon a default by Lessee pursuant to Section 12.1, with respect to any portion of the Premises which is vacant or which is physically occupied by Lessee, Lessor may remove all persons and property therefrom, and store such property in a public warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of Lessee, without service of notice or resort to legal process (all of which Lessee expressly waives) and without being deemed guilty of trespass or becoming liable for any loss or damage which may be occasioned thereby, Lessor shall have a lien for the payment of all sums agreed to be paid by Lessee herein upon all Lessee’s property, which lien is to be in addition to any Lessor’s lien now or hereafter provided by law.

Section 12.6.Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties hereby waive trial by jury in any action, proceeding, or counterclaim brought by either of them against the other on any matters arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease, the relationship of Lessor and Lessee, Lessee’s use or occupancy of the Premises, and/or any claim or injury or damage. In the event Lessor commences any proceedings fornon-payment of Fixed Rent or Additional Rent, Lessee will not interpose any counterclaim of any nature or description in any such proceedings. This shall not be construed, however, as a waive of Lessee’s right to assert any such claims in any separate action brought by Lessee.

Section 12.7.Redemption. Lessee hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption granted by or under any present of future law in the event this Lease is terminated or Lessee is evicted or dispossessed by reason of violation of Lessee by any of the provisions of this Lease.

Section 12.8.Injunctive Relief. In the event of breach or threatened breach by Lessee of any provision of this Lease, Lessor shall have the right of injunction as if other remedies were not provided for herein.

Section 12.9.Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Lessor is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy herein or by law provided, but each shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right or remedy given herein or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.

Section 12.10.Performance by Lessor. If Lessee shall default in the performance of any covenant required to be performed by it under this Lease, Lessor may perform the same for the account and at the expense of Lessee, after first giving notice to Lessee of its intention to do so. If Lessor at any time is compelled to pay, or elects to pay, any sum of money, by reason of the failure of Lessee to comply with any provisions hereof, or if Lessor is compelled to incur any expense, including reasonable counsel fees, in instituting, prosecuting or defending against any action or proceeding instituted by reason of any default of Lessee hereunder, the amount of such payments or expenses shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor as additional rent on the next day following such payment or the incurring of such expense upon which a regular monthly rental payment is due.

IN GRANTING THIS RIGHT TO CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST LESSEE, LESSEE HEREBY KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY, AND, ON THE ADVISE OF THE SEPARATE COUNSEL OF LESSEE, UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS LESSEE HAD OR MAY HAVE TO PRIOR NOTICE AND AN OPPORTUNITY FOR HEARING UNDER THE RESPECTIVE CONSTITUTIONS AND LAWS OF THE UNTIED STATE AND THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA.

SUCH AUTHORITY SHALL NOT BE EXHAUSTED BY ONE EXERCISE THEREOF, BUT JUDGMENT MAY BE CONFESSED AS AFORESAID FROM TIME TO TIME AS OFTEN AS ANY OF SAID RENT AND/OR OTHER CHARGES RESERVED AS RENT OR AGREED TO BE PAID BY LESSEE SHALL FALL DUE OR BE IN ARREARS.

Section 12.12. UPON THE EXPIRATION OF THE THEN CURRENT TERM OF THIS LEASE OR THE EARLIER TERMINATION OR SURRENDER HEREOF AS PROVIDED IN THIS LEASE, IT SHALL BE LAWFUL FOR ANY ATTORNEY TO APPEAR AS ATTORNEY FOR LESSEE AS WELL AS FOR ALL PERSONS CLAIMING BY, THROUGH OR UNDER LESSEE AND TO SIGN AN AGREEMENT FOR ENTERING IN NAY COMPETENT COURT AN AMICABLE ACTION IN EJECTMENT AGAINST LESSEE AND ALL PERSON CLAIMING BY, THROUGH OR UNDER LESSEE AND THEREIN CONFESS JUDGMENT FOR THE RECOVERY BY LESSOR OR POSSESSION OF THE HEREIN PREMISES, FOR WHICH THIS LEASE SHALL BE ITS SUFFICIENT WARRANT, WHEREUPON, IF LESSOR SO DESIRES, A WRIT OF POSSESSION OR OTHER APPROPRIATE WRIT UNDER THE RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE THEN IN EFFECT MAY ISSUE FORTHWITH, WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WRIT OR PROCEEDING; PROVIDED HOWEVER, IF FOR ANY REASON AFTER SUCH ACTION SHALL HAVE BEEN COMMENCED, THE SAME SHALL BE DETERMINED AND THE POSSESSION OF THE PREMISE HEREBY DEMISED REMAIN IN OR BE RESTORED TO LESSEE, LESSOR SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT FOR THE SAME DEFAULT AND UPON ANY SUBSEQUENT DEFAULT OR DEFAULTS, OR UPON THE TERMINATION OF THIS LEASE UNDER ANY OF THE TERMS OF THIS LEASE TO BRING ONE OR MORE FURTHER AMICABLE ACTION OR ACTIONS AS HEREINBEFORE SET FORTH TO RECOVER POSSESSION OF THE SAID PREMISES AND CONFESS JUDGMENT FOR THE RECOVERY OF POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES AS HEREINABOVE PROVIDED.

LESSEE HEREBY RELEASES TO LESSOR AND TO ANY AND ALL ATTORNEYS WHO MAY APPEAR FOR LESSEE ALL ERRORS IN SAID PROCEEDINGS AND ALL LIABILITY THEREOF.
