 Exhibit 10.18 

SUB-LEASE 
 This Sub-lease,
made this 1st day of July, 2003, between Queensbury
Village, Inc., 234 North James Street., Newport, DE 19804 (hereinafter the “Landlord”) and SFA Inc., Frederick Manufacturing Division (hereinafter the “Tenant”). 

The Landlord hereby sublets unto Tenant and Tenant hereby hires and takes from Landlord the rental space (the “rental space”) as more
particularly described in paragraph 1a below, being a part of a 245,910 square foot building (the “Building”) located on that the real property known as 28712 Glebe Road, Easton, MD, as shown on Exhibit A attached (the
“property”). The word “property” shall include common areas. The rental space shall be as approximately defined as set forth on Exhibits B. The parties acknowledge that the Landlord cannot deliver all the rental space as
reflected; however, Landlord is anticipating delivery as approximately set forth below. 
 To have and to hold the premises unto Tenant, its
successors and assigns subject to all of the following terms, covenants, conditions, and agreements herein contained for a term of two (2) years commencing occupancy on or about July 1, 2003 and ending June 30, 2005, or until said
term is sooner terminated pursuant to any provisions of this sub-lease (“Lease Term”). 
 1. RENT: Tenant will pay rent to the
Landlord at the Landlord’s address. Each monthly installment is due before the sixth day of the month for which it is made. Tenant’s share of common expenses are payable with the monthly installment of rent. 

a. The monthly installment of rent shall be based on the amount of square footage of the Building used by the Tenant and as agreed to between the parties.
It is initially believed that the Tenant will lease space per the following schedule: 
  

					
	32,000 square feet of Building	  	–	  	July 1, 2003 to July 31, 2003
	89,000 square feet of Building	  	–	  	August 1, 2003 to August 31, 2003
	120,000 square feet of Building	  	–	  	September 1, 2003 to September 30, 2003

 b. The rate
of rent shall be $3.00 (on an annualized basis) per square foot until such time as the Tenant takes 120,000 square feet of the Building. 
 From
the time Landlord makes 120,000 square feet of the Building available to Tenant (anticipated to be about October 1, 2003), the rate of rent shall be adjusted to $2.00 a square foot. This rental rate of $2.00 per square foot will be in effect
for a period of one (1) year – measured ten (10) days from the date Landlord provides notice to Tenant that 120,000 square feet is available. 

Should Landlord be unable to make available 120,000 feet of the Building by October 1, 2003, then the rate of rent shall be adjusted to $2.00 per
square feet for that area of the Building in possession of the Tenant – for a period of one (1) year. 
 After the expiration of the
aforementioned one year period of Tenant paying rent at $2.00 per square foot, the rental rate shall be adjusted to $3.00 per square foot through the end of the Lease Term. 

 

 1 








 Tenant agrees to take at least 120,000 square feet of floor space of the Building when offered by the
Landlord. In light of where to satisfactorily divide the rental space among columns the parties further agree that they will mutually agree, which agreement shall not unreasonably be withheld, to the final configuration – not withstanding that
it might not equal 120,000 square feet – it will be deemed to equal 120,000. 
 c. Landlord warrants that it shall use reasonable efforts to
make available at least 120,000 square feet of Building to Tenant on or before October 1, 2003. 
 d. For the initial Lease Term of two
years the common area maintenance costs and the cost of real estate taxes and insurance for the property shall be fixed at $.85 per square foot leased by Tenant. This shall be in addition to the monthly installment of rent as provided for in
paragraph 1b above. 
 e. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, before July 1, 2004, Tenant shall have a one-time right to
decrease the amount of the square feet rented to an amount not less than 50,000 square feet. Tenant shall give Landlord at least 90 days notice of such diminution, otherwise such notice shall have no effect. 

f. Timely payment is of the essence of this sub-lease and Tenant may not delay or refuse any payment of any kind for any reason. For each payment that is
late, and for each check on Tenant’s account deposited by Landlord and returned unpaid for any reason, Tenant will pay on demand for Landlord’s additional expense an amount equal to the greater of $100.00 or 5% of the check or late amount,
plus interest at the lower of 18% per year or the maximum rate allowed by usury protection where the property is located. 
 2. POSSESSION:
The Tenant acknowledges that the Building will be shared with other tenants. The parties agree to mutually determine the amount of square footage available to lease to the Tenant. It is contemplated that the rental space (approximately 32,000 square
feet) will be ready for the Tenant on or about July 1, 2003 or as soon thereafter as is reasonably possible. Tenant accepts the rental space in “AS IS” condition as of the date of this sub-lease. If a certificate of occupancy is
required the parties shall mutually seek same, with any costs equally divided. 
 3. USE OF RENTAL SPACE: 

a. Tenant may use the rental space for light manufacturing, warehousing and office. The rental space shall not be used for any other purpose without the
written consent of the Landlord. 
 b. Tenant shall comply with all governmental laws, ordinances and regulations applicable to use of the rental
space, and shall promptly comply with all governmental orders and directives for the correction, prevention and abatement of nuisances in or upon or connected with its use of the rental space, all at Tenant’s sole risk and expense. 

c. Tenant shall have the right to use the parking areas (as delineated on Exhibits B), which are part of the common areas. Additionally, the Tenant shall
have the right to use those restrooms located at column D-8/9. Landlord will not be responsible for maintaining the visual 
  


 2 








 
appearance of the lot area. It is anticipated that the tenant will not be responsible to provide any screening that may be required by the local government in the outside area of container
staging. 
 4. UTILITY SERVICES: The Landlord shall, at its expense, furnish a heating and cooling system for the rental space. The Tenant shall
pay for all electricity, gas, fuel oil, sewer charges, and water consumed by the Tenant on the rental space. 
 5. MAINTENANCE BY LANDLORD:
Landlord shall at its expense maintain, including replacement if necessary, only the roof, foundation, HVAC equipment, and the structural soundness of the exterior walls of the building in good repair and condition, including termite eradication
throughout, but excluding all windows, window glass, plate glass, and all doors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall repair and pay for any damage caused by Tenant’s negligence or default hereunder or that of its agents, invitees,
employees, and customers. Tenant shall immediately give written notice to Landlord of the need for repairs and Landlord shall proceed promptly to make such repairs. Landlord’s liability hereunder shall be limited to the cost of such repairs or
corrections. 
 6. MAINTENANCE BY TENANT: 

a. Tenant covenants throughout the term, at its expense, to maintain in good order and repair the interior structure of the rental space, and to maintain
and replace when necessary, all window and door glass therein, interior and exterior, to maintain and repair all building service equipment therein including, but not limited to, electrical, plumbing, and sprinkler equipment, pipes, wires, ducts,
fixtures, and appliances; to make all ordinary and necessary repairs, to keep the rental space in a safe, clean and sanitary condition, to provide for the removal of trash and rubbish, and to surrender the rental space at the end of the term in as
good condition as when received except for ordinary wear and use. Tenant shall be responsible for the maintenance of the restrooms on the First and Second Floors. 

b. Notwithstanding anything herein contained, the Landlord’s obligation with respect to the repair of any damage to the rental space caused by fire
or other casualty or by a condemnation shall be determined under the provisions of paragraphs 7 and 8, respectively, and not of this Paragraph. 

c. Should Landlord fail to perform any of the duties required to be performed by it pursuant to this paragraph of this Sub-lease within forty-five
(45) days after such failure (and after providing notice to Landlord of such failure), Landlord agrees that Tenant may have the necessary work performed by a responsible contractor to be selected by the Tenant after receiving three
(3) bids for the required work. The Tenant shall not, however, have any required work performed without first giving the Landlord thirty (30) days notice in writing. The Tenant may deduct the cost of all such necessary repairs to the
rental space, which it has made from the monthly rent or rentals. 
 7. FIRE AND OTHER CASUALTIES: If the rental space is damaged or destroyed
by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall give prompt notice thereof to Landlord. 
 a. If in the mutual judgment of Tenant and Landlord, the
rental space is not usable for Tenant’s purposes the Landlord may, at its option, either terminate this Sub-lease or elect to 

 

 3 








 
repair and/or rebuild the Rental space. The Landlord shall notify the Tenant as to its election within thirty (30) days after Tenant’s notice to Landlord. If the Landlord elects to
terminate this Sub-lease, the Sub-lease shall be deemed terminated as of the date of the casualty, any rent paid being appropriately apportioned. If the Landlord elects to rebuild and/or repair the Rental space, the Landlord and Tenant shall, as
soon as possible after receipt by Tenant of Landlord’s notice, enter into good faith negotiations to determine the terms for the repair or rebuilding of the rental space, it being understood that in no event shall rent accrue or be payable
hereunder between the date of the casualty and completion of all repairs. If, within sixty (60) days after Tenant has notified Landlord of the occurrence of a casualty, no satisfactory terms have been reached, the Tenant may terminate the
Sub-lease without liability as of the date of casualty, any rent paid being appropriately apportioned. 
 All such work to be performed by
Landlord, hereunder shall be done in such manner that upon completion thereof, the Rental space as restored shall be as useful for its intended purposes as immediately prior to the occurrence of the casualty. 

b. If, in the mutual judgment of the Landlord and Tenant, the Rental space is usable for Tenant’s purposes, such destruction shall in no way annul or
void the Sub-lease, except that, the annual rent payable under Para. 1 hereof shall be appropriately reduced and adjusted between Landlord and Tenant as of the date of the occurrence of the casualty, which reduction shall be in accordance with the
ratio which the area of the damaged Rental space bears to the area of the rental space prior to the occurrence of the casualty. The Landlord shall restore the Rental space within a single one hundred twenty (120) day period; provided, however,
that in the event Landlord is unable to complete the necessary repairs within said one hundred twenty (120) day period because of events beyond its control, such as inclement weather, strikes, lack of an available work force, or acts of God,
then the one hundred twenty (120) day period shall be adjusted to reflect the delays caused by such events. 
 8. CONDEMNATION: 

a. If the rental space shall be taken under any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding, or if such part of the Rental space shall be taken that in the
mutual judgment of the Landlord and Tenant, the remainder is not suitable for the Tenant’s purposes as set forth in Paragraph 3 hereof, then this Sub-lease shall terminate as of the date Tenant’s use and occupancy thereof was terminated.
Any rent paid shall be appropriately apportioned. 
 b. If any part of the rental space shall be taken under any condemnation or eminent domain
proceeding that, in the mutual judgment of the Landlord and Tenant, the remainder is suitable for the Tenant’s purposes as set forth in Paragraph 3 hereof, then the annual rent payable under Paragraph 1 hereof shall be appropriately reduced and
adjusted between Landlord and Tenants as of the date Tenant shall be required to surrender to the taking authority the taken portion of the rental space, which reduction shall be in accordance with the ratio which the area of the taken portion of
the rental space bears to the area of the entire Rental space prior to the taking. 
 c. Tenant shall not be entitled to compensation for the
value of its leasehold interest. 
 The provisions of this Paragraph 8 shall survive termination or expiration of this Sub-lease.

 9. ALTERATIONS, CHANGES AND IMPROVEMENTS: Tenant shall not create any openings in the roof or exterior
walls, nor make any alterations, additions, or improvements to the rental space without the Landlord’s prior consent. Consent for those alterations, additions or improvements shall not be unreasonable withheld by Landlord. Tenant shall have the
right at all times to install Tenant’s shelves, bins, equipment [consistent with the Tenant’s intended use of the rental space] (and with Landlords approval, which shall not unreasonably be withheld, Tenant signage and communications
antenna [approximately 14 inches in height]); provided, Tenant complies with all applicable governmental laws, ordinances and regulations, and further provided that such installations by Tenant shall not overload, damage or deface the rental space
and shall be done in good and workmanlike manner. 
 In making any alterations, additions or improvements, Tenant shall not do or suffer, nor
have power to do or suffer, anything to be done whereby the rental space may be encumbered by a mechanics’ lien or claim. Nothing contained herein shall be taken as giving expressly or impliedly to Tenant any power to subject the rental space
to any mechanics’ lien or claim, it being intended that whatever is done by Tenant shall be done solely at Tenant’s own cost, risk and expense. Tenant shall whenever and as often as any mechanics’ lien or claim is filed against the
Rental space purporting to be for labor or materials furnished or to be furnished, discharge the same of record within ten (10) days after the date of filing, or deposit with Landlord an amount equal to the amount claimed in such
mechanics’ lien proceeding or claims. Tenant shall save Landlord harmless from and indemnify Landlord against, any and all claims for injury, loss or damage to persons or property caused by or resulting from the doing of any such work.

 10. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLEASING: Provided Tenant is not in default of any of the terms, conditions or covenants contained in this Sub-lease,
Tenant shall not, without the prior consent of the Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonable withheld, assign this Sub-lease or sublet to an affiliated company of Tenant or its parent company. No assignment or subletting shall be for any use
which is unlawful, detrimental to the rental space, more hazardous on account of fire or otherwise, or for a use that will cause greater wear and tear than the use for which the rental space is leased as defined in Paragraph 3 hereinabove for a term
which would extend beyond the termination date of the primary term of this Sub-lease. Notwithstanding any such sublease or assignment, Tenant shall remain principal obligor to the Landlord under all the terms, conditions, covenants and obligations
of this Sub-lease; and, the acceptance of an assignment or subletting of the rental space by any firm, person or corporation shall be construed as a promise on the part of such assignee or subtenant to be bound by and perform all of the terms,
conditions and covenants by which Tenant herein is bound. No such assignment or subletting shall be construed to constitute a novation or a release of any claim Landlord may then or thereafter have against Tenant hereunder. In the event of default
by Tenant while the rental space is assigned or sublet, Landlord, in addition to any other remedies provided herein (or provided by law), may at Landlord’s option, collect directly from such assignee or subtenant all rents becoming due to
Tenant under such assignment or sublease and Landlord may apply such rent against any sums due to Landlord by Tenant hereunder. No direct collection by Landlord from any such assignee or subtenant shall release Tenant from the further performance of
its obligations hereunder. 
 11. LANDLORD’S RIGHT OF ENTRY: Landlord shall have the right to enter upon the rental space or any part
thereof without charge at all reasonable time and in the case of 
  

 5 








 
emergency, at any time, for the purpose of determining whether the covenants herein contained are being carried out by Tenant, to inspect the physical condition of the rental space, to make or
facilitate any repairs or alterations to the rental space (but nothing contained in this Para. shall obligate Landlord to make any repairs or alterations), to show the rental space to prospective purchasers or tenants and Tenant shall not be
entitled to any abatement or reduction of rent damages by reason of any of the foregoing. Provided, however, that any such access shall only be allowed if Landlord or his representative is accompanied by an employee of the Tenant, and Tenant hereby
agrees not to unreasonably withhold the providing of said employee for this purpose. 
 12. DISPUTES: Any dispute arising out of this Sub-lease
shall be settled by arbitration as provided herein (Philadelphia Office). Within ten (10) days after either party shall have requested arbitration in writing, the parties shall agree on an impartial arbitrator, and failing agreement, he shall
be selected by the American Arbitration Association at the request of either party. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the rules then obtaining of the American Arbitration Association and judgment upon the award granted by the
arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Fees, costs and expenses of the arbitrator shall be borne by the party against whom the arbitrator shall be determined or, in the case of determination by compromise by the parties
in such proportion as the arbitrator shall designate. 
 13. QUIET ENJOYMENT: Landlord covenants that so long as Tenant is not in default
hereunder, Tenant shall peacefully and quietly have, hold and enjoy the rental space for the term of this Sub-lease. 
 14. NOTICES: Unless
otherwise provided in this Sub-lease, all notices, demands, requests or other communications hereunder which may be or are required to be given by either party to the other shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given, effective
upon mailing first class certified mail, return receipt requested, to the appropriate party at its address as set forth below or to such other address as may have been furnished in writing to the party giving the notice by the party to whom notice
is to be given:

the Rental space, and evidence of renewal at least 20 days before any policy expires. If Tenant fails to provide required insurance, Landlord may do so and Tenant must reimburse the cost on demand. 

b. The Landlord will place fire and extended coverage insurance upon all buildings and other improvements constituting a part of the rental space and the
amount shall be for 80% of the replacement value thereof. 
 18. EQUIPMENT WARRANTY: Landlord hereby agrees to give Tenant the benefit of any
and all warranties or guarantees, if any, which Landlord may have or to which Landlord is entitled, covering plumbing or any other portion of the herein rental space which is the subject of a warranty of guaranty and for which Tenant is responsible
under this Sub-lease, and covering the roof if Tenant performs Landlord’s obligation with respect thereto under Paragraph 6d of this Sub-lease. 

19. DEFAULT: If during the term of this Sub-lease there shall occur any of the following events: 

a. if the Tenant shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or
shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or 
 b. if a receiver, trustee or liquidator of the Tenant
or if all or substantially all of the property of the Tenant shall be appointed in any proceeding brought by the Tenant, or if any such receiver, trustee or liquidation shall be appointed in any proceeding brought against the Tenant and such
receiver, trustee or liquidator shall not be discharged within sixty (60) days after such 
  

 7 








 
appointment, or if the Tenant by the order or decree of a court shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or declared insolvent, or shall be dissolved, or 

c. if a petition proposing the liquidation or reorganization of the Tenant pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Act or any similar law, Federal or State,

In any of such events of default (i.e. as set forth above in Paragraph 19 a-f) Landlord may at Landlord’s option either terminate this Sub-lease or
re-enter and take possession of the Rental space, and either the giving of such notice or such re-entry and taking possession shall terminate this Sub-lease and all the right, title and interest of Tenant hereunder, without prejudice, however, to
the right of the Landlord to exercise all other available legal remedies and without discharging Tenant from any of its liabilities hereunder. 

In the case of any default hereunder, Landlord shall have the right to pursue statutory summary possession proceedings without prejudice to
Landlord’s exercise of its other remedies hereunder. 
 In the case of any default hereunder, Landlord may exercise its statutory remedy of
distress for rent without prejudice to Landlord’s exercise of its other remedies hereunder. 
 20. INDEMNIFICATION OF LANDLORD: Landlord

claims of every kind and nature arising out of the obligations of Tenant undertaken herein, excepting, however, losses or claims paid for by insurance, and damage, personal injuries, liability, loss or claims caused by the negligence of Landlord,
its agents, representatives or invitees. 
 21. SUBORDINATION & ESTOPPEL: 

a. This Sub-lease and all rights under the sub-lease are subject and subordinate to any lien of mortgage on the property. However, at the sole and
absolute election of a mortgage holder, this sub-lease and Tenant’s rights under it shall be superior and prior in right to that mortgage-holder’s lien with the same force and effect as if this Sub-lease had been made and delivered prior
to the mortgage. Tenant hereby, without claim for Landlord defaults prior to exercise of rights under any mortgage, attorns to (agrees to remain a tenant of) and will treat as new landlord (i) a holder of a mortgage who becomes
(a) mortgagee in possession or (b) owner of the property by deed, foreclosure or otherwise and (ii) a Mortgage holder’s successors and assigns by assignment or foreclosure of lien or otherwise. This subordination and attornment
are self-
  

 8 








 
operative and without need of further instrument or action to have effect, but Tenant shall provide such further written assurances thereof as Landlord may from time to time request. For all
purposes of this sub-lease the word “mortgage” means any mortgage made before the date of this Sub-lease or later, and all renewals, extensions and replacements of a mortgage. 

b. Estoppel – Upon written request, Tenant shall sign and return to Landlord any requested writing certifying (i) the sub-lease is in full
effect, (ii) the Landlord is in full compliance without offset, (iii) Tenant’s payments are made to dates specified and (iv) other matters Landlord reasonably requires. 

c. Remedies – Upon any request under 21a or 21b not fully met within five business days the Tenant shall be deemed to then admit Landlord’s full
compliance and all other certifications sought under 21b, and in the Landlord’s sole and absolute discretion, any or all of the following shall apply: (i) Tenant shall pay any damage Landlord suffers because of Tenant’s failure to
comply, (ii) Landlord shall have an irrevocable and durable power of attorney coupled with an interest to sign and deliver any requested writing for the Tenant; and/or (iii) if the request refers to this paragraph, the Landlord may end
this sub-lease immediately upon notice to Tenant. 
 22. DEFINITION OF LANDLORD AND TENANT: Whenever used herein, the words “Landlord”
and “Tenant” shall be construed to mean Landlords and Tenants where there is more than one Landlord or Tenant, and the necessary grammatical changes required to make the provisions hereof apply either to corporations, partnerships or
individuals, men or women, shall in all cases be assumed as though in each case fully expressed. Each of the provisions of this sub-lease shall extend to, and shall bind or inure to the benefit of not only Landlord and Tenant, but also their
respective heirs, successors, legal representatives and assigns, so far as this Sub-lease and the term hereby created is assignable by the terms hereof.

in whole or in part except by supplemental Sub-lease signed by the parties hereto. 
 25. OPTIONS: This Sub-lease may be extended for five
(5) new term(s), at the option of Tenant only, upon the following conditions:

 26. SECURITY
DEPOSIT: Tenant has deposited with Owner $20,000, receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, as security for the full and faithful performance of each and every term provision, covenant and conditions of this sub-lease. In the event Tenant defaults in
respect of any of the terms, provisions, covenants or conditions of this sub-lease, including but not limited to the payment of rent, Owner may use, apply or retain the whole or any part of such security for the payment of any rent in default or for
any other sum which Owner may spend or be required to spend by reason of Tenant’s default. Should Tenant faithfully and fully comply with all of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this sub-lease, the security deposit or any
balance thereof shall be returned to Tenant at the expiration of the term hereof. Tenant shall not be entitled to any interest on said security deposit.

number at which Tenant may be contacted in an emergency during other than regular business hours. 
 33. RELETTING AFTER DEFAULT: After default
by Tenant and possession of the rental space returned to Landlord, whether by Tenant surrendering the keys to the Landlord or otherwise, the Landlord need not mitigate damages by seeking another tenant for the rental space, but may do so, in
Landlord’s absolute discretion. In the event of renting to another, Landlord shall reduce Tenant arrears by rent received after first recovering costs, and compensation for Landlord’s services, related to any fixing of the rental space,
the reletting and managing. 
 34. HOLDING OVER: Any period of possession of the rental space by Tenant after the ending of the term of this
sub-lease may, at Landlord’s option, be construed to be a tenancy from month to month on all of the terms and conditions of this sub-lease except that the amount of the monthly installment shall be two times the amount due for the month
