A sale or sales of fifty percent (50%) or more of the capital stock of Tenant (if Tenant is a corporation) or of the interest in capital, profits, or losses of Tenant (if Tenant is a partnership) shall be deemed to be a prohibited assignment of this Lease within the meaning of this Section 17. In the event Tenant desires to sublet the Premises, or any portion thereof, or assign this lease, Tenant shall give written notice thereof to Landlord at least ninety (90) days but not more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the proposed commencement date of such subletting or assignment, which notice shall set forth the name of the proposed subtenant or assignee, the relevant terms of any sublease or assignment and copies of financial reports and other relevant financial information on the proposed subtenant or 11 assignee. Notwithstanding any permitted assignment or subletting, Tenant shall at all times remain directly and primarily liable for the payment of the rent herein specified and for compliance with all of its other obligations under this Lease. Upon the occurrence of a default under Section 20 of this Lease, which is not cured within the applicable grace period, if the Premises or any part thereof are then sublet, Landlord, in addition to any other remedies provided herein or by law, may collect directly from such subtenant all rents due and becoming due to. Tenant under such sublease and apply such rent against any sums due to Landlord from Tenant hereunder. No such collection directly from an assignee or subtenant shall be construed to constitute a novation or a release of Tenant from the further performance of Tenant's obligations hereunder nor shall it constitute consent of the sublease or assignment. Any guaranty of Tenant's performance executed as consideration for this Lease shall remain in full force and effect before and after any such assignment or subletting. Landlord may require Tenant, and Tenant hereby agrees, to execute a guaranty of this Lease before Landlord consents to any such assignment or sublease and to cause the guarantor of Tenant's Lease to execute an acknowledgment of the assignment or sublease. (b) In addition to Landlord's right to consent to any subtenant or assignee, Landlord shall have the option, in its sole discretion, in the event of any proposed subletting or assignment, to terminate this Lease, or in the case of a proposed subletting of less than the entire Premises, to recapture the portion of the Premises to be sublet, as of the date the subletting or assignment is to be effective. The option shall be exercised by Landlord's giving Tenant written notice thereof within thirty (30) days following Landlord's receipt of Tenant's written notice as required above. If this Lease shall be terminated with respect to the entire Premises, the Term shall end on the date stated in Tenant's notice as the effective date of the sublease or assignment as if that date had been originally fixed in this lease for the expiration of the Term. If Landlord recaptures only a portion of the Premises, the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent during the unexpired Term shall abate, proportionately, based on the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent due as of the date immediately prior to such recapture and Percentage Rent shall be calculated using the adjusted Annual Fixed Rent. Tenant shall, at Tenant's own cost and expense, discharge in full any outstanding commission obligation with respect to this Lease and any commissions which may be owing as a result of any proposed assignment or subletting, whether or not the Premises are :rented by Landlord to the proposed tenant or any other tenant. (c) Consent by Landlord to any assignment or subletting shall not include consent on a subsequent assignment or subletting of the Premises by Tenant or its assignee or sublessee or the consent to the assignment or transferring of any Lease renewal option rights, space option rights or other special privileges granted to Tenant hereunder (and such options, rights or privileges shall terminate upon such assignment or subletting), unless Landlord specifically grants in writing such options, rights or privileges to assignee or subtenant. Any sale assignment, mortgage, transfer of this Lease or subletting which does not comply with the provisions of this Section shall be void. (d) Notwithstanding Landlord's consent, in the event that Tenant sells, sublets, assigns, or transfers this Lease and at any time receives periodic rent and/or other consideration which exceeds that which Tenant would at that time be obligated to pay to Landlord, Tenant shall pay to Landlord 100% of the gross increase in such rent as such rent is received by Tenant and 100% of any other consideration received by Tenant from such subtenant or such assignee. 12 (e) Should Landlord consent to an assignment or sublease of this Lease, Tenant, its proposed assignee or subtenant and Landlord shall execute an agreement prepared by or acceptable to Landlord wherein the'proposed assignee or subtenant agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Lease, and Tenant will pay to Landlord on demand a sum equal to all of Landlord's costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with such assignment, sublease or transfer.

In the case of any such destruction or injury, Landlord shall repair all structural portions of the Premises with all reasonable speed and shall complete such repairs within nine (9) months from the date of such destruction or injury. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall not be required to expend any amount in excess of the net insurance proceeds for such repairs. Unless such damage is the result of the negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant or its agents, employees or invitees, if during such period Tenant shall be deprived of the use of all or any portion of the Premises, a proportionate adjustment in the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent shall be made corresponding to the time during which, and the portion of the Premises of which, Tenant shall be so deprived and Percentage Rent shall be calculated using the adjusted Annual Fixed Rent.

(ii) If such destruction or injury to the Premises cannot reasonably be repaired within nine (9) months from the receipt of insurance proceeds covering such destruction or injury, or if the net insurance proceeds available for such repairs are not sufficient in Landlord's reasonable j determination, Landlord shall notify Tenant within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of such destruction or injury whether or not Landlord will repair or rebuild. If Landlord elects not to repair or rebuild, this Lease shall be terminated. If Landlord shall elect to repair or rebuild, Landlord shall notify Tenant of the time within which such repairs or reconstruction will be completed, and Tenant shall have the option, within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice, to elect by written notice to Landlord to either terminate this Lease and any further liability hereunder, or to extend the Term by a period of time equivalent to the time from the occurrence of such destruction or injury until the Premises are restored to their former condition. In the event Tenant elects to extend the Term, Landlord shall restore the structural portions of the Premises to their former condition within the time specified in said notice, Tenant shall complete the work required of Tenant pursuant to paragraph (i) above within sixty (60) days after completion of i Landlord's work, and Tenant shall not be liable to pay the Annual Fixed Rent and Additional Rent for the period from the occurrence of such destruction or injury until the structural 13 portions of the Premises are so restored by Landlord and Percentage Rent shall be calculated using the adjusted Annual Fixed Rent.

However, if subsection (aa) above does not apply and Tenant shall, within thirty (30) days following receipt of Landlord's notice of cancellation pursuant to (bb) above, give Landlord notice of its intention to renew the Lease for any additional option periods then available to it under the terms of this Lease, then the notice of Landlord to terminate the Lease shall be of no force and effect and Section 18(a)(i) or 18(a)(ii) hereof, as the case may be, shall apply. If no additional option periods are then available to Tenant, this Lease shall terminate on the date recited in such notice from Landlord. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Sections 18(a)(i), 18(a)(ii), and 18(b) hereof, Landlord may cancel this Lease with no further liability to Tenant whatsoever in the event that following any damage, destruction, or injury to the Premises or the Building, Landlord's mortgagee elects to require Landlord to make advance payments upon or for any indebtedness secured by a mortgage on the Shopping Center or any portion thereof. (d) In the event of any insurance claim against any of Landlord's insurance policies, Landlord shall have the right to recover from Tenant Tenant's Proportionate share of the amount of any deductible or other loss not reimbursed to Landlord by proceeds of insurance. CONDEMNATION Section 19.(a) In the event the entire Premises shall be taken by condemnation or right of eminent domain, this Lease shall terminate as of the day possession shall be taken by the taking i authority and Landlord and Tenant shall be released from any further liability hereunder. In the event only a portion of the Premises shall be taken by condemnation or right of eminent domain and the portion so taken renders the balance unsuitable for the purpose of this Lease, either Landlord or Tenant shall be entitled to terminate this Lease, such termination to become effective as of the day possession of the Premises shall be taken, provided notice of such termination is given within thirty (30) days after the date of notice of such taking. If, in such case, this Lease is not terminated, Landlord agrees to restore the Premises with reasonable speed to an architectural unit as nearly like its condition prior to such taking as shall be practicable.

Lavipour C FLED OF THE Cr.? A"Tl'y ,08.50 PD r aaoq49 IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA Hampden Center, Inc. Plaintiff, No. 09-6335 v Tho Tran and Oanh H. Nguyen, Defendants. PETITION FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION Plaintiff, Hampden Center, Inc., by the undersigned counsel, petitions this Court for a preliminary injunction pursuant to Pa. R. Civ. P. 1531, and sets forth the following in support thereof: 1. On September 23, 2009, Plaintiff filed a verified Complaint, attached as Exhibit 1, seeking a declaratory judgment that, pursuant to the Agreement of Lease executed by the parties to this action, Defendants Tho Tran and Oanh Nguyen ("Defendants") may not remove the equipment, improvements, and fixtures attached to the building owned by Plaintiff. 2. Defendants lease a 7,200 square foot space in Plaintiff's shopping center located at 4920 Carlisle Pike, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17050. Compl. ¶¶ 3, 4 3. Defendants operated Mikado Japanese Steak House & Sushi Bar in the leased premises. Compl. ¶ 2. 4. The Agreement of Lease executed by the parties provides that "by written notice to Tenant prior to expiration or termination of the Term, Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to leave in the Premises equipment, improvements, or fixtures attached to the Premises or Building." Compl. Exh. A § 12(b). 1,5433 5 1 1016 '09 5. The lease term commenced on November 15, 2004 and will terminate on November 14, 2009. Compl. ¶ 5. 6. On August 19, 2009, in anticipation of the termination of the lease and prior to the expiration or termination of the lease, counsel for Plaintiff advised Defendants of Plaintiffs intention to execute its right to require Defendants to leave all equipment, improvements, and fixtures. See Compl. Exh. B. 7. Plaintiff determined to exercise its rights to require Defendants to leave all equipment, improvements, and fixtures because, after learning that Defendants did not intend to renew the lease, Plaintiff is pursuing a number of tenants who would rent the space only if is immediately available for operation as a restaurant and equipped with all equipment, improvements, and fixtures. 8. Defendant Tho Tran was served with a copy of the Complaint on September 25, 2009 by the Cumberland County Sheriff. See Sheriffs Return of Service,' attached hereto as Exhibit 2. 9. Defendants stopped operating the restaurant on or about October 3, 2009. 10. Prior to October 3, 2009, the restaurant was a fully-functioning, equipped, operating restaurant business. 11. On September 30, 2009, Plaintiff and Defendant Tho Tran met to discuss which items Plaintiff would permit Defendants to take and which equipment, improvements, and fixtures Defendants would be required to leave behind. Since service was effected very recently by the Sheriff, the Sheriffs Office has not yet signed the Return of' Service. Plaintiff expects to receive the official, completed Return of Service in several days. 154335.1 10/6,09 -2- 12. On October 2, 2009, Plaintiff confirmed the understanding that Plaintiff and Defendants reached on September 30, 2009 by faxing to Defendants an itemized list of equipment, improvements, and fixtures that Defendants should leave behind. 13. Plaintiff also sent Defendants a Fed-Ex copy of the itemized list mentioned above along with a restaurant plan identifying the locations inside the restaurant where equipment, improvements, and fixtures should be left. The Fed-Ex was to be delivered on October 3, 2009. 14. On October 5, 2009, Plaintiff learned that the Fed-Ex had not been delivered because the restaurant was no longer operating. 15. Also on October 5, 2009, Plaintiff learned that Defendants were in the process of dismantling the restaurant and had begun to move equipment, improvements, and fixtures that had been attached to the leased premises out of the leased premises, in violation of the lease and Defendants' representations to Plaintiff. 16. Defendants removed substantial amounts of equipment, improvements, and fixtures that were attached to the building in a manner that caused substantial damage to the property. 17. On October 5, 2009, Plaintiff contacted the Hampden Township Police Department to report that Defendants were moving property belonging to Plaintiff under the Agreement of Lease out of the leased premises. 18. Upon learning that a civil action had been initiated regarding the leased premises, the Hampden Township Police Department took no further action regarding the equipment, improvements, and fixtures that had already been removed or regarding further removal of any equipment, improvements, or fixtures. 1543351 10/6'09 - - 19. Defendants intend to install the equipment, improvements, and fixtures removed from the leased premises in another location where Defendants intend to operate a new restaurant, causing further damage to the equipment, improvements, and fixtures. 20. Plaintiff will suffer immediate and irreparable harm if an injunction is not granted. 21. If Defendants have the opportunity to remove additional equipment, improvements, and fixtures, Plaintiff will suffer damages that cannot be entirely ascertainable and cannot be adequately compensated by an award of damages. The further removal of equipment, improvements, and fixtures will further damage the premises and will transform the leased premises from an operating restaurant into a barren space. Plaintiff will lose the business opportunities and market advantages that Plaintiff has in owning a space that is equipped with the equipment, improvements, and fixtures necessary to begin operation of a restaurant. See Santoro i% Morse, 781 A.2d 1220, 1228 n.5 (Pa. 2001) ("Pennsylvania courts sitting in equity have jurisdiction to prevent the continuance of acts prejudicial to the interest of individual rights, including the authority to enjoin wrongful breaches of contract where money damages are an inadequate remedy. In the commercial context, the impending loss of a business opportunity or market advantage may aptly be characterized as an `irreparable injury' for this purpose." (internal citation omitted)). 22. Plaintiff has no adequate remedy at law to redress the current and impending harm from Defendants' continued conduct. Plaintiff's loss of rights and property under the lease agreement cannot be measured in damages. 23. Defendants will not suffer any appreciable injury if the requested preliminary injunction is issued because the status quo between the parties will be restored to where it was 15433 1 10/6%09 before the Defendants' wrongful conduct began. Defendants will merely be restrained from taking Plaintiff s property (the equipment, improvements and fixtures) out of the leased premises. Defendants will remain free to use and enjoy the leased premises until November 14, 2009. 24. Greater injury would result from a refusal to grant the injunction than from granting the injunction. 25. The issuance of the injunction will not be contrary to the public interest. 26. Plaintiff is likely to succeed on the merits of its claim. Plaintiff gave proper notice under the Agreement of Plaintiffs intention to require Defendants to leave in the leased premises the equipment, improvements, or fixtures attached to the premises or building. When Defendants did not respond formally or substantively to Plaintiffs notice, and Plaintiff learned of the impending breach of that term of the lease, Plaintiff filed a declaratory judgment action in this Court. After Defendant Tho Tran was served with the Complaint and engaged in negotiations with Plaintiff to determine which items in the restaurant must stay and which items Defendants could take, Defendants attempted to move the equipment, improvements, and fixtures, in violation of the lease agreement and with the knowledge that those items are the subject of the instant proceeding. It is clear that Defendants have breached the lease and Plaintiff will be entitled to a declaratory judgment ordering that Defendants may not remove the equipment, improvements, or fixtures from the leased premises. WHEREFORE, Petitioner-Plaintiff Hampden Center, Inc., requests that this Court: a. Issue an Order in the nature of a Rule to Show Cause why a preliminary injunction should not be granted against Defendants Tho Tran and Oahn Nguyen prohibiting Defendants from removing anything from the premises, prohibiting Defendants from damaging 154335 1 10/6.09 - C - property, and prohibiting Defendants from installing the equipment, improvements, and fixtures from the leased premises anywhere else; b. Schedule a hearing on Plaintiff's Petition; C. Permit expedited discovery, including depositions, to be completed prior to the hearing; d. Conduct a hearing on Plaintiff's Petition; e. After hearing, issue a preliminary injunction in the form attached to this Petition; and f. Grant such further relief as this Court deems just and reasonable.

Plaintiff, No. 09-6335 V. Tho Tran and Oanh H. Nguyen, Defendants. MOTION TO COMPEL Plaintiff, Hampden Center, Inc., by its undersigned attorneys, moves this Court for an order under Pa. R. Civ. P. 4009.31 and 4009.32 directing Defendants to allow Plaintiff to enter Defendants' property and the space that Defendants lease from Plaintiff, and in support thereof avers as follows: 1. On September 23, 2009, Plaintiff filed a verified Complaint seeking a declaratory judgment that, pursuant to the Agreement of Lease executed by the parties to this action, Defendants Tho Tran and Oanh Nguyen ("Defendants") may not remove the equipment, improvements, and fixtures attached to the building owned by Plaintiff. 1. Defendants lease a 7,200 square foot space in Plaintiff's shopping center located at 4920 Carlisle Pike, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17050. Compl. T¶ 3, 4. 2. Defendants operated Mikado Japanese Steak House & Sushi Bar in the leased premises. Compl. ¶ 2. 3. The Agreement of Lease executed by the parties provides that "by written notice to Tenant prior to expiration or termination of the Term, Landlord shall have the right to require Tenant to leave in the Premises equipment, improvements, or fixtures attached to the Premises or Building." Compl. Exh. A § 12(b). 154478. 1 10/9/09 4. The lease term commenced on November 15, 2004 and will terminate on November 14, 2009. Compl. ¶ 5. 5. On August 19, 2009, in anticipation of the termination of the lease and prior to the expiration or termination of the lease, counsel for Plaintiff advised Defendants of Plaintiff s intention to execute its right to require Defendants to leave all equipment, improvements, and fixtures. See Compl. Exh. B. 6. Plaintiff determined to exercise its rights to require Defendants to leave all equipment, improvements, and fixtures because, after learning that Defendants did not intend to renew the lease, Plaintiff is pursuing a number of tenants who would rent the space only if is immediately available for operation as a restaurant and equipped with all equipment, improvements, and fixtures. 7. Defendant Tho Tran was served with a copy of the Complaint on September 25, 2009 by the Cumberland County Sheriff. 8. Defendants stopped operating the restaurant on or about October 3, 2009. 9. Prior to October 3, 2009, the restaurant was a fully-functioning, equipped, operating restaurant business. 10. On September 30, 2009, Plaintiff and Defendant Tho Tran met to discuss which items Plaintiff would permit Defendants to take and which equipment, improvements, and fixtures Defendants would be required to leave behind. 11. On October 2, 2009, Plaintiff confirmed the understanding that Plaintiff and Defendants reached on September 30, 2009 by faxing to Defendants an itemized list of equipment, improvements, and fixtures that Defendants should leave behind. 154478 1 10/9/09 -2- 12. Plaintiff also sent Defendants a Fed-Ex copy of the itemized list mentioned above along with a restaurant plan identifying the locations inside the restaurant where equipment, improvements, and fixtures should be left. The Fed-Ex was to be delivered on October 3, 2009. 13. On October 5, 2009, Plaintiff learned that the Fed-Ex had not been delivered because the restaurant was no longer operating. Also on October 5, 2009, Plaintiff learned that Defendants were in the process of dismantling the restaurant and had begun to move equipment, improvements, and fixtures that had been attached to the leased premises out of the leased premises, in violation of the lease and Defendants' representations to Plaintiff. Defendants removed substantial amounts of equipment, improvements, and fixtures that were attached to the building in a manner that caused substantial damage to the property. 14. On October 5, 2009, Plaintiff contacted the Hampden Township Police Department to report that Defendants were moving property belonging to Plaintiff under the Agreement of Lease out of the leased premises. Upon learning that a civil action had been initiated regarding the leased premises, the Hampden Township Police Department took no further action regarding the equipment, improvements, and fixtures that had already been removed or regarding further removal of any equipment, improvements, or fixtures. 15. On October 6, 2009, Plaintiff filed a Petition for Preliminary Injunction seeking to enjoin Defendants from taking any equipment, improvements, or fixtures from the leased premises, from taking any action that would damage the leased premises, and directing them to return and reinstall all equipment, improvements, and fixtures already removed from the leased premises. 16. On October 8, 2009, this Court entered an order scheduling a hearing on the Preliminary Injunction Petition for Monday, October 12, 2009 at 3 p.m. 154478 1 10/9/09 -3- 17. On October 9, 2009, in anticipation of the Monday hearing, Plaintiffs served upon Defendants' counsel the Amended Expedited Request for Entry Upon Property of a Party attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Request sought entry upon the property of Defendants at 4717 Carlisle Pike, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17050 (the property where Defendants intend to open a new restaurant) on Friday, October 9, 2009 for the purposes of photographing and/or videotaping the equipment, improvements, and/or fixtures that were removed from Plaintiff's property. The request also sought access to the space that Defendants currently lease from Plaintiff. 18. Plaintiff's requests to enter Defendant's property and to have access to the leased space were reasonable and necessary in light of the timing of the Preliminary Injunction hearing. At the Defendant's property, Plaintiff intends only to inspect and catalogue the equipment that was removed from the leased premises and photograph or videotape that equipment. At the leased premises, Plaintiff only intends to videotape or photograph any equipment that remains in the leased premises and to document the current condition of the leased premises. Plaintiff should be afforded access to both properties as it will be necessary to present testimony on these facts at the Preliminary Injunction hearing. 154478. 1 10/9/09 -4- WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Hampden Center, Inc. respectfully requests that this Court compel Defendants to allow Plaintiff to: (1) enter the Defendants' property at 4717 Carlisle Pike, Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania 17050 on the morning of Monday, October 12, 2009 for the purposes of photographing and/or videotaping the equipment, improvements, and/or fixtures that were removed from Plaintiff s property; (2) access the leased premises on the morning of Monday, October 12, 2009; and (3) grant such further relief as this Court deems just and reasonable.

Plaintiff V. No. 09-6335 Civil Term Tho Tran and Oanh H. Nguyen Defendants Action for Declaratory Judgment DEFENDANTS' PRELIMINARY OBJECTIONS TO COMPLAINT OF HAMPDEN CENTER, INC. AND NOW, come the Defendants, Tho Tran and Oanh H. Nguyen by their undersigned counsel and files these Preliminary Objections to the Complaint and avers as follows: 1. A pleading or cause of action may be dismissed for legal insufficiency pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. § 1028(a)(4). 2. A demurrer tests the legal sufficiency of the pleading and, as a result, the review is limited to the content of the pleading. 3. All well-pleaded material, factual averments are presumed to be true for the purpose of testing the legal sufficiency of the pleading. 4. Conclusions of law, unwarranted inferences from the facts, argumentative allegations, or expressions of opinion are not considered true for the purpose of testing the legal sufficiency of the pleading. 5. A cause of action may be dismissed for insufficient specificity pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. § 1028(3). I. INSUFFICIENT SPECIFICITY OF PLEADING 6. Plaintiff's Complaint is objectionable under PA. R.C.P. 1028 on the grounds that Plaintiff's Complaint lacks sufficient specificity. 7. Plaintiff's Compliant alleges that Defendants are required to "leave all equipment, improvements or fixtures attached to the premises or building." See paragraph 15 of Plaintiff Complaint. 8. The Complaint fails to state with specificity which specific items of tangible property that the Plaintiff believes to be equipment, improvements or fixtures which are attached to the Premises. 9. Plaintiffs Complaint lacks sufficient specificity due to its failure to identify the property of Defendant which Plaintiff believes to be attached to the premises. 10. Defendants are unable to prepare an adequate answer without more specific allegations regarding the challenged property. Wherefore, the Defendants, Tho Tran and Oanh H. Nguyen respectfully requests this Honorable Court dismiss this Complaint or require the Plaintiff to file an Amended Complaint, because it lacks sufficient specificity. II. FAILURE TO JOIN NECESSARY PARTIES 11. Plaintiffs Complaint is objectionable under PA. R.C.P. 1028 on the grounds that Plaintiff lacks the capacity to sue for failing to join the necessary parties. 12. Plaintiffs Complaint alleges that Defendants, Tho Tran and Oanh H. Nguyen are not the owner's of the tangible property which is allegedly attached to the premises. 13. Defendants, Tho Tran and Oanh H. Nguyen are not the owners of the tangible property which is allegedly attached to the premises. 14. The Plaintiff has failed join the parties who are the owners of the tangible property over which it is asserting an ownership claim. 15. Because the owners of the tangible property have not been named as parties to the action, any determination of ownership will not be binding on the true owners of the tangible property. Wherefore, the Defendants, Tho Tran and Oanh H. Nguyen, respectfully requests this Honorable Court dismiss this Complaint for the Plaintiff s Lack of Capacity to sue. III. LEGAL INSUFFICIENCY OF A PLEADING 16. Plaintiffs Complaint is objectionable under PA. R.C.P. 1028 on the grounds that Plaintiffs Complaint is legally insufficient. 17. Plaintiff s Complaint fails to join the owners of the tangible property over which it is asserting an ownership interest. 18. Plaintiffs cannot proceed to request the court to declare the proper owner of property when the true owner of the property is not noticed or named as a party. Wherefore, the Defendants, Tho Tran and Oanh H. Nguyen respectfully requests this Honorable Court dismiss this Complaint or require the Plaintiff to file an Amended Complaint, for legal insufficiency if a pleading. IV. LEGAL INSUFFICIENTY OF A PLEADING 19. Under Allstate, the Supreme Court held regarding actions for declaratory judgments, "(1) that a declaratory judgment proceeding is not an optional substitute for established and available remedies; (2) that it should not be granted where a more appropriate remedy is available; (3) that it should not be granted unless compelling and unusual circumstances exist; (4) that it should not be granted where there is a dispute of facts, or such controversy may arise; and (5) that it should not be granted unless there is a clear manifestation that the declaration sought will be a practical help in terminating the controversy.' Allstate Ins. Co. v. Seward, 407 Pa. 628, 631, 182 A.2d 715, 717 (Pa. 1962) 20. In the instant case, the parties entered into a Lease Agreement and the agreement is the basis for claims and allegations made by the Plaintiff. 21. A failure to comply with the agreement results in a claim for breach of contract. 22. A breach of contract action is a more appropriate remedy if the Plaintiff believes the Defendants have breached the Lease Agreement. 23. Plaintiff did not allege compelling or unusual circumstances in its Complaint. 24. The parties do have factual disputes and a declaratory judgment will clearly not terminate the controversy when the Plaintiff has already filed requests for additional relief. 25. An Action for Declaratory Judgment is not the proper procedure for the instant action. Wherefore, the Defendants, Tho Tran and Oanh H. Nguyen respectfully request this Honorable Court dismiss the Plaintiff s Complaint, for legal insufficiency of the pleading. Respectfully Submitted, October 9, 2009 ./'CliYn R.

Nguyen are not the owners of the tangible property which is allegedly attached to the premises. 30. The Plaintiff has failed join the party who is the owner of the tangible property over which it is asserting a claim and requesting an injunction. 31. Because the owner of the personal property is not a party to the action, any determination of ownership will be unenforceable as to the true owner of the tangible property. 32. Defendants dispute that the Lease Agreement allows the Plaintiff to unilaterally declare its ownership interest in any tangible property placed in the leased property. 33. Plaintiff is unlikely to succeed on the merits because of the defects in its underlying action and case law in favor of the Defendants position. 4 34. Plaintiff's alleged damages are in the form of tangible property or lost rents, both of which are easily calculated into money damages. 35. Plaintiffs allegations do not meet the elements required for a preliminary injunction. Wherefore, Defendants respectfully request that this Honorable Court deny Plaintiff's Petition for a Preliminary Injunction and vacate its order dated October 8, 2009.

To construe this provision to allow the landlord to reap the benefit of $300,000 worth of improvements paid for by the tenant contradicts the other terms of the lease and is, in any event, unconscionable.
