If any amount due from Tenant is not paid to Landlord when due. Tenant shall also pay as Additional Rent (as defined in Article 4 hereof) a late fee of ten (10%) percent of the total payment then due. The late fee shall accrue on the initial date of a payment’s due date, irrespective of any grace period granted hereunder. Tenant shall be required to continue to post a security deposit of $28,795 under this Lease (the “Security Deposit”), as security for the prompt and complete performance by Tenant of every provision of this Lease. No interest shall be paid to Tenant on the Security Deposit. If Tenant fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder. Landlord may use, apply or retain the whole or any part of the Security Deposit for the payment of (i) any rent or other sums of money which Tenant may not have paid when due, (ii) any sum expended by Landlord in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, and/or (iii) any sum which Landlord may expend or be required to expend by reason of Tenant’s default. The use of the Security Deposit by Landlord shall not prevent Landlord from exercising any other remedy provided by this Lease or

by law and shall not operate as either liquidated damages or as a limitation on any recovery to which Landlord may otherwise be entitled. If any portion of the Security Deposit is used, applied or retained by Landlord, Tenant agrees, within five (5) days after the written demand therefor is made by Landlord, to deposit cash with the Landlord in an amount sufficient to restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. In addition to the foregoing, if Tenant defaults (irrespective of the fact that Tenant cured such default) more than once in its performance of a monetary obligation and such monetary defaults aggregate in excess of $50,000 under this Lease, Landlord may require Tenant to increase the Security Deposit to the greater of twice the (i) Fixed Rent then paid monthly, or (ii) the initial amount of the Security Deposit.

Upon the assumption of such Security Deposit by the transferee, Tenant agrees to look solely to the new landlord for the return of said Security Deposit.

4. ADDITIONAL RENT. Effective April 1, 2006 but commencing January 1, 2007, and in each calendar year thereafter during the Term, Tenant shall pay in advance on a monthly basis to Landlord, Tenant’s Share of the “Recognized Expenses”, without deduction, counterclaim or setoff, to the extent such Recognized Expenses exceed the Recognized Expenses in calendar year 2006 (“Base Year”). Tenant’s Share shall be 46.77% which is the percentage calculated by dividing the total square footage of the Premises into the total square footage of the Building which is 51,388. Recognized Expenses are (i) all reasonable operating costs and expenses related to the maintenance, operation and repair of the Project incurred by Landlord, including but not limited to management fee not to exceed five (5%) percent of Rent; common area electric; and capital expenditures and capital repairs and replacements shall be included as operating expenses solely to the extent of the amortized costs of same over the useful life of the improvement in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles such useful life not to exceed ten (10) years; (ii) all insurance premiums payable by Landlord for insurance with respect to the Project and (iii) Taxes payable on the Project. Each of the Recognized Expenses shall for all purposes be treated and considered as Additional Rent. Tenant shall pay, in monthly installments in advance, on account of Tenant’s Share of Recognized Expenses, the estimated amount of the increase of such Recognized Expenses for such year in excess of the Base Year as determined by Landlord in its reasonable discretion. Prior to the end of the calendar year in which the Lease commences and thereafter for each successive calendar year (each, a “Lease Year”), or part thereof, Landlord shall send to Tenant a statement of projected increases in Recognized Expenses in excess of the Base Year and shall indicate what Tenant’s Share of Recognized Expenses shall be. The Base Year shall be adjusted to exclude from the Base Year “extraordinary items” incurred in such calendar year. For purposes or this subparagraph, extraordinary items shall mean either (X) cost increases over the prior calendar year of eleven and one quarter percent (11.25%) or more, or (Y) items which increase Landlord’s total expenses and such items have not been included in the determination of expenses by the Landlord (or the Landlord’s predecessor in interest) for the prior three years of operating the Building. As soon as administratively available, Landlord shall send to Tenant a statement of actual for Recognized Expenses for the prior Lease Year showing the Share due from Tenant. In the event the amount prepaid by Tenant exceeds the amount that was actually due then Landlord shall issue a credit to Tenant in an amount equal to the over charge, which credit Tenant may apply to future payments on account of Recognized Expenses until Tenant has been fully credited with the over charge. If the credit due to Tenant is more than the aggregate total of future rental payments, Landlord shall pay to Tenant the difference between the credit in such aggregate total. In the event Landlord has undercharged Tenant, then Landlord shall send Tenant an invoice with the additional amount due, which amount shall be paid in full by Tenant within thirty (30) days of receipt.

Tenant shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, within ninety (90) days from receipt of Landlord’s statement of Recognized Expenses, to audit or have its appointed accountant audit Landlord’s records related to Recognized Expenses and Taxes provided that any such audit may not occur more frequently than once each calendar year nor apply to any year prior to the year of the statement being reviewed. In the event Tenant’s audit discloses any discrepancy, Landlord and Tenant shall use their best efforts to resolve the dispute and make an appropriate adjustment, failing which, they shall submit any such dispute to arbitration pursuant to the rules and under the jurisdiction of the American Arbitration Association in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The decision rendered in such arbitration shall be final, binding and non-appealable. The expenses of arbitration, other than individual legal and accounting expenses which shall be the respective parties’ responsibility, shall be divided equally between the parties. In the event, by agreement or as a result of an arbitration decision, it is determined that the actual Recognized Expenses and Taxes exceeded those claimed by the Landlord by more than six percent (6%), the actual, reasonable hourly costs to Tenant of Tenant’s audit (including legal and accounting costs) shall be reimbursed by Landlord. In the event Tenant utilizes a contingent fee auditor and Landlord is responsible for the payment of such auditor, Landlord shall only pay the reasonable hourly fee of such auditor

Tenant further agrees to execute and deliver within ten (10) day of demand such further instrument evidencing such subordination and attornment as shall be reasonably required by any mortgagee. If Landlord shall be or is alleged to be in default of any of its obligations owing to Tenant under this Lease, Tenant shall give to the holder of any mortgage (the “Mortgagee”) now or hereafter placed upon the Premises, Building and/or Project, notice by overnight mail of any such default which Tenant shall have served upon Landlord. Tenant shall not be entitled to exercise any right or remedy as there may be because of any default by Landlord without having given such notice to the Mortgagee. If Landlord shall fail to cure such default, the Mortgagee shall have forty-five (45) additional days within which to cure such default.

16. CONDEMNATION.

If this Lease is not terminated after any such taking or condemnation, the Fixed Rent and the Additional Rent shall be equitably reduced in proportion to the area of the Premises which has been taken for the balance of the Term. Tenant shall have the right to make a claim against the condemnor to the extent that such claim does not reduce the sums otherwise payable by the condemnor to Landlord.

17. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE. Each party agrees at any time and from time to time, within ten (10) days after the other party’s written request, to execute and deliver to the other party a written instrument in recordable form certifying all information reasonably requested.

If an Event of Default shall occur, the following provisions shall apply and Landlord shall have, in addition to all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity, including the right to terminate the Lease, the rights and remedies set forth herein, which may be exercised upon or at any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default. 1. Acceleration of Rent. By notice to Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to accelerate all Rent and all expense due hereunder and otherwise payable in installments over the remainder of the Term; and the amount of accelerated rent to the termination date, without further notice or demand for payment, shall be due and payable by Tenant within five (5) days after Landlord has so notified Tenant, such amount collected from Tenant shall be discounted to present value using an interest rate of six percent (6%) per annum. Additional Rent which has not been included, in whole or in part, in accelerated rent, shall be due and payable by Tenant during the remainder of the Term, in the amounts and at the times otherwise provided for in this Lease. 2.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Tenant shall fail to perform any of its obligations hereunder, Landlord may, in addition to any other rights it may have in law or in equity, cure such default on behalf of Tenant, and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any sums paid or costs incurred by Landlord in curing such default, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses, together with interest at a rate of twelve (12%) percent (“Default Rate”) from the dates of Landlord’s incurring of costs or expenses. 4. Interest on Damage Amounts. Any sums payable by Tenant hereunder, which are not paid after the same shall be due, shall bear interest at the Default Rate. 5. No Waiver by Landlord. No delay or forbearance by Landlord in exercising any right or remedy hereunder, or Landlord’s undertaking or performing any act or matter which is not expressly required to be undertaken by Landlord shall be construed, respectively, to be a waiver of Landlord’s rights or to represent any agreement by Landlord to undertake or perform such act or matter thereafter. Waiver by Landlord of any breach by Tenant of any covenant or condition herein contained (which waiver shall be effective only if so expressed in writing by Landlord) or failure by Landlord to exercise any right or remedy in respect of any such breach shall not constitute a waiver or relinquishment for the future of Landlord’s right to have any such covenant or condition duly performed or observed by Tenant, or of Landlord’s rights arising because of any subsequent breach of any such covenant or condition nor bar any right or remedy of Landlord in respect of such breach or any subsequent breach.

In addition to, and not in lieu of any of the foregoing rights granted to Landlord: TENANT HEREBY EMPOWERS ANY PROTHONOTARY, CLERK OF COURT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY COURT OF RECORD TO APPEAR FOR TENANT IN ANY AND ALL ACTIONS WHICH MAY BE BROUGHT FOR ANY RENT, OR ANY CHARGES HEREBY RESERVED OR DESIGNATED AS RENT OR ANY OTHER SUM PAYABLE BY TENANT TO LANDLORD UNDER OR BY REASON OF THIS LEASE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY SUM PAYABLE HEREUNDER, AND TO SIGN FOR TENANT AN AGREEMENT FOR ENTERING IN ANY COMPETENT COURT AN ACTION OR ACTIONS FOR THE RECOVERY OF SAID RENT, CHARGES AND OTHER SUMS, AND IN SAID SUIT OR IN SAID ACTION OR ACTIONS TO CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST TENANT FOR ALL OR ANY PART OF THE RENT SPECIFIED IN THIS LEASE AND THEN UNPAID INCLUDING, AT LANDLORD’S OPTION, THE RENT FOR THE ENTIRE UNEXPIRED BALANCE OF THE TERM OF THIS LEASE, AND ALL OR ANY PART OF ANY OTHER OF SAID CHARGES OR SUMS, AND FOR INTEREST AND COSTS TOGETHER WITH REASONABLE ATTORNEY’S FEES OF 5%.

WHEN THIS LEASE OR TENANT’S RIGHT OF POSSESSION SHALL BE TERMINATED BY COVENANT OR CONDITION BROKEN, OR FOR ANY OTHER REASON, EITHER DURING THE TERM OF THIS LEASE OR ANY RENEWAL OR EXTENSION THEREOF, AND ALSO WHEN AND AS SOON AS THE TERM HEREBY CREATED OR ANY EXTENSION THEREOF SHALL HAVE EXPIRED, IT SHALL BE LAWFUL FOR ANY ATTORNEY AS ATTORNEY FOR TENANT TO FILE AN AGREEMENT FOR

ENTERING IN ANY COMPETENT COURT AN ACTION TO CONFESS JUDGMENT IN EJECTMENT AGAINST TENANT AND ALL PERSONS CLAIMING UNDER TENANT, WHEREUPON, IF LANDLORD SO DESIRES, A WRIT OF EXECUTION OR OF POSSESSION MAY ISSUE FORTHWITH, WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WRIT OF PROCEEDINGS, WHATSOEVER, AND PROVIDED THAT IF FOR ANY REASON AFTER SUCH ACTION SHALL HAVE BEEN COMMENCED THE SAME SHALL BE DETERMINED AND THE POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES HEREBY DEMISED REMAIN IN OR BE RESTORED TO TENANT, LANDLORD SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT UPON ANY SUBSEQUENT DEFAULT OR DEFAULTS, OR UPON THE TERMINATION OF THIS LEASE AS HEREINBEFORE SET FORTH, TO BRING ONE OR MORE ACTION OR ACTIONS AS HEREINBEFORE SET FORTH TO RECOVER POSSESSION OF THE SAID PREMISES.

[GRAPHIC APPEARS HERE] (INITIAL). TENANT WAIVER. TENANT SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT TENANT HAS VOLUNTARILY, KNOWINGLY AND INTELLIGENTLY WAIVED CERTAIN DUE PROCESS RIGHTS TO A PREJUDGMENT HEARING BY AGREEING TO THE TERMS OF THE FOREGOING PARAGRAPHS REGARDING CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT. TENANT FURTHER SPECIFICALLY AGREES THAT IN THE EVENT OF DEFAULT, LANDLORD MAY PURSUE MULTIPLE REMEDIES INCLUDING OBTAINING POSSESSION PURSUANT TO A JUDGMENT BY CONFESSION AND ALSO OBTAINING A MONEY JUDGMENT FOR PAST DUE AND ACCELERATED AMOUNTS AND EXECUTING UPON SUCH JUDGMENT.

19. SURRENDER. Tenant shall, at the expiration of the Term, promptly quit and surrender the Premises in good order and condition and in conformity with the applicable provisions of this Lease. Tenant shall have no right to hold over beyond the expiration of the Term and hi the event Tenant jails to deliver possession of the Premises as herein provided, Tenant’s occupancy shall not be construed to effect or constitute anything other than a tenancy at sufferance. During the first flurry (30) days beyond the expiration of the Term the amount of rent owed to Landlord by Tenant shall automatically extend, at Landlord’s option, for an additional month at one hundred fifty percent (150%), the sum of the Rent as those sums are at that time calculated under the provisions of the Lease.
