The amount of amortization for such costs shall be included in Operating Expenses for each Operating Year to which the amortization relates.

(4) In determining Operating Expenses for any Operating Year (including the Base Year) during which less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the rentable area of the building shall have been occupied by tenants for more than thirty (30) days during such year, the actual Operating Expenses for such year shall be increased to the amount which normally would have been incurred for such Operating Year had such occupancy of the Building been ninety-five percent (95%) throughout such Operating Year, as reasonably determined by Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Landlord receive more than one hundred percent (100%) of the Building’s actual Operating Expenses as a result of the operation of this Subsection 8(a)(iv)(4).

(iv) “Monthly Operating Expense Estimate” shall have the meaning specified in Subsection 8(b)(i)(1) hereof.

(v) “Real Estate Taxes” shall mean all taxes, liens, charges, imposts and assessments of every kind and nature, ordinary or extraordinary, foreseen, or unforeseen, general or special, levied, assessed or imposed by any governmental authority with respect to the Property or allocated to the Property pursuant to the terms of the Declaration, as well as all fees or assessments payable on account of the Property being located in any special services district. Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(1) if at any time during the Term the present system of ad valorem taxation of real property shall be changed or supplemented so that in lieu of or in addition to the ad valorem tax on real property there shall be assessed on Landlord or the Property any tax of any nature which is imposed in whole or in part, in substitution for, addition to, or in lieu of any tax which would otherwise constitute a Real Estate Tax, such tax shall be included within the term “Real Estate Taxes,” but only to the extent that the same would be payable if the Property were the only property of Landlord. Such tax may include, but shall not be limited to, a capital levy or other tax on the gross rents or gross receipts with respect to the Property, or a federal, state, county, municipal or other local income, franchise, profit, excise or similar tax, assessment, levy or charge measured by or based, in whole or in part, upon any such gross rents or gross receipts;

(2) Real Estate Taxes shall also encompass all of Landlord’s expenses, including but not limited to attorney’s fees and expenses, incurred by Landlord in any effort to minimize Real Estate Taxes whether by contesting proposed increases in assessments, applying for the benefit of any tax abatement program available for the Property, appealing the denial of any such tax abatement, or contesting any challenge to the validity of any tax abatement program or its applicability to the Property or by any other means or procedures appropriate in the circumstances; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall Landlord have any obligation to undertake any contest, appeal or other procedure to minimize Real Estate Taxes or to obtain or maintain the benefits of any tax abatement program for the Property; and

(3) except as otherwise provided in Subsection (a)(v)(1) above, there shall be excluded from Real Estate Taxes all net income, excess profit, excise, franchise, estate, succession and inheritance taxes, penalties due to Landlord’s lateness or failure to pay taxes when due and transfer taxes imposed on Landlord.

(b) Tenant’s Expense Payment. Commencing on the Commencement Date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent hereunder an amount equal to Tenant’s Proportionate Share of the excess, if any, in Operating Expenses for such Operating Year over Operating Expenses for the Base Year (“Tenant’s Expense Payment”). For any portion of an Operating Year less than a full twelve (12) month period occurring within the Term, Tenant’s Expense Payment shall be prorated on a per diem basis. Such Additional Rent shall be paid (or credited) in the following manner:

(i) Beginning on the Commencement Date and continuing thereafter during each Operating Year during the Term on the first day of each month until receipt of the next Operating Expense Statement, Tenant will pay Landlord an amount set by Landlord sufficient to pay Landlord’s estimate (reasonably based on the actual Operating Expenses for the preceding Operating Year and Landlord’s projections of any anticipated increases or decreases thereof) of Tenant’s Expense Payment for the current Operating Year (or remaining portion thereat) (the “Monthly Operating Expense Estimate”). The Monthly Operating Expense Estimate for a period less than a full calendar month shall be duly prorated.

(ii) Following the end of each Operating Year, Landlord shall furnish Tenant an Operating Expense Statement setting forth the information described in Subsection 8(a)(ii) above. Within fifteen (15) days following the receipt of such Operating Expense Statement (the “Expense Share Date”) Tenant shall pay to Landlord: (i) the amount by which the Tenant’s Expense Payment for the Operating Year (or portion thereof) covered by the Operating Expense Statement exceeds the aggregate of Monthly Operating Expense Estimates paid by Tenant with respect to such Operating Year (or portion thereof); and (ii) the amount by which the Monthly Operating Expense Estimate for the current Operating Year as shown on the Operating Expense Statement multiplied by the number of months elapsed to date in the current Operating Year (including the month in which payment is made) exceeds the aggregate amount of payments of the Monthly Operating Expense Estimate theretofore made in the Operating Year in which the Operating Expense Statement is issued. Landlord shall diligently endeavor to furnish Tenant an Operating Expense Statement not later than one hundred and twenty (120) days following the end of each Operating Year.

(iii) On the first day of the first month following receipt by Tenant of any annual Operating Expense Statement and continuing thereafter on the first day of each succeeding month until the issuance of the next ensuing Operating Expense Statement, Tenant shall pay Landlord the amount of the Monthly Operating Expense Estimate shown on the Operating Expense Statement.

(c) Tenant’s Audit Right. Tenant shall have the right, at is sole cost and expense, to inspect and/or audit Landlord’s books and records at Landlord’s place of business or such other place Landlord regularly maintains such books and records with respect to the calculation of Operating Expenses set forth on an Operating Expense Statement within ninety (90) days following receipt of such Operating Expense Statement, including the final Operating Expense Statement which may be delivered to Tenant following the expiration or earlier termination of the Term. Tenant shall give Landlord not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of its intention to conduct any such audit. If such audit discloses that the amount paid by Tenant for any one or more of the above enumerated items for the period under consideration has been overstated, then Landlord shall immediately credit to Tenant the amount of overcharge.

9. Interest and Late Charge. Landlord may charge a late payment charge of five percent (5%) of any installment of Fixed Basic Rent or Additional Rent that is not paid within five (5) days of the due date thereof. Any amount due from Tenant to Landlord which is not paid when due shall bear interest (“Interest”) at an interest rate equal to the Prime Rate published from time to time in the Money Rates column of the Wall Street Journal plus 2% (or, if lower, the highest rate then allowed under the usury laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania) from the date due until the date paid. The right of Landlord to charge a late charge and interest with respect to past due installments of Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent is in addition to Landlord’s rights and remedies upon an event of default.

10. Insurance.

(a) Tenant’s Insurance.

(i) Tenant covenants and represents, such covenants and representations being specifically designed to induce Landlord to execute this Lease, that during the entire Term, at its sole cost and expense, Tenant shall obtain, maintain and keep in full force and effect the following insurance:

(1) “All Risk” property insurance against fire, theft, vandalism, malicious mischief, sprinkler leakage and such additional perils as are now, or hereafter may be, included in a standard extended coverage endorsement from time to time in general use in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania upon property of every description and kind owned by Tenant and/or under Tenant’s care, custody or control located in the Building or the Property or for which Tenant is legally liable or installed by or on behalf of Tenant, including by way of example and not by way of limitation, furniture, fixtures, fittings, installations and any other personal property (but excluding the work done by Landlord in connection with the Work Letter) in an amount equal to the full replacement cost thereof.

(2) Commercial General Liability Insurance coverage to include personal injury, bodily injury, broad form property damage, operations hazard, contractual liability, products and completed operations liability naming Landlord and Landlord’s mortgagee or trust deed holder and ground lessors (if any) as additional named insureds in limits of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00).

(3) Business interruption insurance in such amounts as will reimburse Tenant for direct or indirect loss of earnings attributable to all perils commonly insured against by prudent tenants or assumed by Tenant pursuant to this Lease or attributable to prevention or denial of access to the Premises as a result of such perils.

(4) Workers’ Compensation insurance in form and amount as required by law.

(5) Any other form or forms of insurance or any increase in the limits of any of the aforesaid enumerated coverages or other forms of insurance as Landlord or the mortgagees or ground lessors (if any) of Landlord may reasonably require from time to time if in the reasonable opinion of Landlord or said mortgagees or ground lessors said coverage and/or limits become inadequate or less than that commonly maintained by prudent tenants in similar buildings in the area by tenants making similar uses.

(ii) All property insurance policies shall be taken out with insurers rated A+XV (or if such ratings are not in effect, the equivalent thereof) by Best Rating Service, or any successor thereto (or if there be none, an organization having a National reputation) who are licensed to do business in the state in which the Property is located and shall be in form satisfactory from time to time to Landlord. A policy or certificate evidencing such insurance

together with a paid xxxx shall be delivered to Landlord not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the Commencement Date hereof. Such insurance policy or certificate will provide an undertaking by the insurers to notify Landlord and the mortgagees or ground lessors (if any) of Landlord in writing not less than thirty (30) days prior to any material change, reduction in coverage, cancellation, or other termination thereof. Should a certificate of insurance initially be provided a policy shall be furnished by Tenant within thirty (30) days of the Commencement Date. The aforesaid insurance shall be written with commercially reasonable deductibles.

(iii) In the event of damage to or destruction of the Premises entitling Landlord or Tenant to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 18 of this Lease, and if this Lease be so terminated, Tenant shall immediately pay to Landlord all of its insurance proceeds, if any, relating to the leasehold improvements and alterations (but not Tenant’s trade fixtures, equipment, furniture or other personal property of Tenant in the Premises) which have become Landlord’s property on installation or would have become Landlord’s property at the Term’s expiration or sooner termination. If the termination of the Lease, at Landlord’s election, is due to damage to the Building, and if a portion of the Premises have not been so damaged, Tenant will deliver to Landlord, in accordance with the provisions of this Lease, the improvements and alterations to the such portion of the Premises which have become an installation or would have become at the Term’s expiration, Landlord’s property.

(iv) Tenant agrees that it will not keep or use or offer for sale (if sales of goods is a permitted use pursuant to this Lease) in or upon the Premises or within the Property any article which may be prohibited by any insurance policy in force from time to time covering the Property or Premises. In the event Tenant’s occupancy or conduct of business in or on the Premises or Property, whether or not Landlord has consented to the same, results in any increase in premiums for insurance carried from time to time by Landlord with respect to the Building, or the Property, Tenant shall pay such increase in premiums as Additional Rent within ten (10) days after being billed therefor by Landlord. In determining whether increased premiums are a result of Tenant’s use and occupancy a schedule issued by the organization computing the insurance rate on the Property or Building showing the components of such rate shall be conclusive evidence of the items and charges making up such rate. Tenant shall promptly comply with all reasonable requirements of the insurance authority or of any insurer now or hereafter in effect relating to the Property.

(v) If any insurance policy carried by either party as required by this Section 10 shall be cancelled or cancellation shall be threatened or the coverage thereunder reduced or threatened to he reduced in any way by reason of the use or occupation of the Building or any part thereof by Tenant or any assignee or subtenant of Tenant or anyone permitted by Tenant to be upon the Property, and if Tenant fails to remedy the conditions giving rise to such cancellation or threatened cancellation or reduction in coverage on or before (i) forty-eight (48) hours after notice thereof from Landlord, or (ii) prior to such cancellation or reduction becoming effective, Tenant shall be in default and an event of default shall occur under this Lease and Landlord shall have all of the remedies available to Landlord pursuant to this Lease.

(b) Landlord’s Insurance. Landlord covenants and agrees that throughout the Term it will insure the Property and the Building (excluding any property with respect to which Tenant is obligated to insure pursuant to Subsection 10(a)(i)(1) above) against damage by fire and standard extended coverage perils and public liability insurance in such reasonable amounts with such reasonable deductibles as required by any mortgagee, or, if none, as would be carried by a prudent owner of a similar building in the area. In addition, Landlord shall maintain and keep in force and effect during the Term, rental income insurance insuring Landlord against abatement or loss of Fixed Basic Rent, including items of Additional Rent, in case of fire or other casualty similarly insured against, in an amount at least equal to the Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent during, at the minimum, one Lease Year hereunder. Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, take out and carry any other forms of insurance as it or the mortgagee or ground lessor (if any) of Landlord may require or reasonably determine available. All insurance carried by Landlord on the Building and the Property or in connection with its ownership or operation thereof shall be included as an item of Operating Expenses pursuant to Section 8. Notwithstanding its inclusion as an Operating Expense or any contribution by Tenant to the cost of insurance premiums by Tenant as provided herein, Tenant acknowledges that it has no right to receive any proceeds from any such insurance policies carried by Landlord although Landlord shall use such proceeds in the repair and reconstruction of the Property and the Premises. Tenant further acknowledges that the exculpatory provisions of this Lease as set forth in Section 40 and the provisions of this Section 10 as to Tenant’s insurance are designed to insure adequate coverage as to Tenant’s property and business without regard to fault and avoid Landlord obtaining similar coverage for such loss for its negligence or that of its agents, servants or employees which would result in double coverage for the same perils includable as part of Operating Expenses which are payable in part by Tenant. Landlord will not carry insurance of any kind on Tenant’s furniture or furnishings, or on any fixtures, equipment, appurtenances or improvements of Tenant under this Lease, and Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage thereto or replace the same.

(c) Waiver of Subrogation. Any policy or policies of fire, extended coverage or similar casualty insurance, which either party obtains in connection with the Premises, Building or Property shall include a clause or endorsement denying the insurer any rights of subrogation against the other party (i.e., Landlord or Tenant) for all perils covered by such policy. Should such waiver not be available then the policy for which the waiver is not available must name the other party as an additional named insured affording it the same coverage as that provided the party obtaining such coverage. Any provision of this Lease to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord and Tenant hereby release the other from any and all liability or responsibility to the other or anyone claiming through or under them by way of subrogation or otherwise (a) from any and all liability for any loss or damage to the property of the releasing party, (b) for any loss or damage that may result, directly or indirectly, from the loss or damage to such property (including rental value and business interruption), and (c) from legal liability for any loss or damage to property (no matter who the owner of the property may be), all to the extent that the releasing party’s loss or damage is insured or, if not insured, was insurable under commercially available “all risk” property insurance policies, including additional coverages typically obtained by owners and tenants of comparable office buildings in the vicinity of the Building, even if such loss or damage or legal liability shall be caused by or result from the fault or negligence of the other party or anyone for whom such party may be responsible and even if the releasing party is self insured in whole or in part or the amount of the releasing party’s insurance is inadequate to cover the loss or damage or legal liability. It is the intention of the parties that Landlord and Tenant shall look solely to their respective insurance carriers for recovery against any such property loss or damage or legal liability, without such insurance carriers having any rights of subrogation against the other party.

11. Repairs and Maintenance.

(d) Landlord shall not be liable for any damages to Tenant resulting from the quality, quantity, failure, unavailability or disruption of any services beyond the reasonable control of Landlord and the same shall not constitute a termination of this Lease or an actual or constructive eviction or entitle Tenant to an abatement of rent. Landlord shall not be responsible for providing any services not specifically provided for in this Lease.

13. Governmental Regulations. Tenant shall comply with all laws, ordinances, notices, orders, rules, regulations and requirements of all federal, state and municipal government or any department, commission, board of officer thereof, or of the National Board of Fire Underwriters or any other body exercising similar functions, relating to the Premises or to the use or manner of use of the Property.

(b) Tenant shall not make or permit to be made any alterations, improvements or additions to the Premises or Property without on each occasion first presenting plans and specifications to Landlord and obtaining Landlord’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, but may be conditioned upon compliance with reasonable requirements of Landlord as provided in this Lease. If Landlord consents to any proposed alterations, improvements or additions, then Tenant at Tenant’s sole cost and expense, may make the proposed alterations, improvements and additions provided that: (i) Tenant supplies any necessary permits; (ii) such alterations and improvements do not, in Landlord’s judgment, impair the structural strength of the Building or any other improvements or reduce the value of the Property; (iii) Tenant takes or causes to be taken all steps that are otherwise required by Section 15 of this Lease and that are required or permitted by law in order to avoid the imposition of any mechanic’s, laborer’s or materialman’s lien upon the Building or the Property; (iv) Tenant uses a contractor approved by Landlord such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (v) the occupants of the Building and of any adjoining real estate owned by Landlord are not annoyed or disturbed by such work; (vi) the alterations, improvements or additions shall be installed in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and completed according to a construction schedule approved by Landlord such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and (vii) Tenant provides insurance of the types and coverage amounts required by Landlord.

remove the same in which event Tenant will remove such alterations, improvements and additions, and repair and restore any damage to the Property or the Premises caused by the installation or removal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, Landlord may withhold its approval to any proposed alterations, additions or improvements to the Premises in its absolute and sole discretion with respect to any such alteration, addition or improvement which Landlord determines involves any modification to the Building’s exterior or its structural, electrical, mechanical or plumbing systems or any components thereof.

(c) If any lien or claim shall be filed, Tenant shall within ten (10) days after the filing thereof, cause the same to be discharged of record by payment, deposit, bond or otherwise. If Tenant shall fail to cause such lien or claim to be discharged and removed from record within that period, then, without obligation to investigate the validity thereof and in addition to any other right or remedy Landlord may have, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to, contest the lien or claim or discharge it by payment, deposit, bond or otherwise; and Landlord shall be entitled, if Landlord so decides, to compel the prosecution of an action for the foreclosure of such lien by the lienor and to pay the amount of the judgment in favor of the lienor with interest and costs. Any amounts so paid by Landlord and all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by Landlord in connection therewith, together with Interest from the respective dates of Landlord’s making of the payment or incurring of the cost or expense, shall constitute Additional Rent payable by Tenant under this Lease and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord promptly on demand.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease or in any other writing signed by Landlord, neither this Lease nor any other writing signed by Landlord shall be construed as evidencing, indicating, or causing an appearance that any erection, construction, alteration or repair to be done, or caused to be done, by Tenant is or was in fact for the immediate use and benefit of Landlord. Further, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, nothing contained in or contemplated by this Lease shall be deemed or construed in any way to constitute the consent or request on the part of Landlord for the performance of any work or services or the furnishing of any materials for which any lien could be filed against the Premises or the Property or any part of any thereof, nor as giving Tenant any right, power, or authority to contract for or permit the performance of any work or services or the furnishing of any materials for which any lien could be filed against the Premises, the Property or any part of any thereof.

(ii) all or substantially all of the Premises or the Property is taken; or

(iii) less than substantially all of the Property is taken but Landlord, acting in good faith, determines that it is economically unfeasible to continue to operate the uncondemned portion of the Building as a first-class office building; or

(iv) less than substantially all of the Premises is taken, but Tenant, acting in good faith, determines that because of such taking it is economically unfeasible to continue to conduct its business in the uncondemned portion of the Premises,

then in the case of (i) or (ii), either party, and in the case of (iii), Landlord, and in the case of (iv), Tenant, shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date when possession of that part which was taken is required to be delivered or surrendered to the condemning authority; and in such case all Fixed Basic Rent and other charges shall be adjusted to the date of termination.

Landlord shall not be responsible to Tenant for non-observance or violation of any of the Rules and Regulations by any tenant of the Building.

24. Assignment and Sublease.

(a) In the event Tenant desires to assign this Lease or sublease all or part of the Premises to any other party, Tenant shall provide written notice of the terms and conditions of such assignment or sublease to Landlord prior to the effective date of any such sublease or assignment, and, prior to such effective date, the Landlord shall have the option, exercisable by written notice to Tenant within ten (10) business days of Landlord’s receipt of written notice from Tenant, to: (i) sublease such space from Tenant at the lower rate of (a) the rental rate per rentable square foot of Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent then payable pursuant to this Lease or (b) the terms set forth in the proposed sublease, (ii) recapture (in the ease of subletting) that portion of the Premises to be sublet or all of the Premises (in the case of an assignment) (“Recapture Space”) so that such prospective subtenant or assignee shall then become the sole Tenant of Landlord hereunder, or (iii) recapture the Recapture Space for Landlord’s own use, whereupon Tenant shall be fully released from any and all obligations hereunder with respect to the Recapture Space.

(b) In the event that the Landlord elects not to recapture the Lease as hereinabove provided, the Tenant may nevertheless assign this Lease or sublet the whole or any portion of the Premises, subject to the Landlord’s prior written consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, on the basis of the following terms and conditions:

(iii) The assignee or subtenant shall assume, by written instrument, all of the obligations of the Tenant as provided by this Lease, and a copy of such assumption agreement shall be furnished to the Landlord within ten (10) days of its execution, provided, however, any such subtenants shall only be obligated to assume Tenant’s obligations arising under this Lease with respect to the portion of the Premises sublet. Any sublease shall expressly acknowledge that said subtenant’s rights against Landlord shall be no greater than those of Tenant. In addition, any request by Tenant for Landlord’s consent to an assignment or sublease shall not include any option or right of expansion, renewal, first refusal, or any other right or option with respect to the Premises, any other portion of the Building or for any period of time beyond the original Term, Tenant hereby acknowledging that such rights and options, if any, are personal to Tenant.

(vii) Tenant shall pay to Landlord the sum of One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($1,500.00) to cover its handling charges for each request for consent to any sublet or assignment prior to its consideration of the same. Tenant acknowledges that its sole remedy with respect to any assertion that Landlord’s failure to consent to any sublet or assignment is unreasonable shall be the remedy of specific performance and Tenant shall have no other claim or cause of action against Landlord as a result of Landlord’s actions in refusing to consent thereto.

(c) If Tenant is a corporation other than a corporation whose stock is listed and traded on a nationally recognized stock exchange, the provisions of subsection 24(a) hereof shall apply to a transfer (however accomplished, whether in a single transaction or in a series of related or unrelated transactions) of stock (or any other mechanism such as, by way of example, the issuance of additional stock, a stock voting agreement or change in class(es) of stock) which results in a change of control of Tenant as if such transfer of stock (or other mechanism) which results in a change of control of Tenant were an assignment of this Lease, and if Tenant is a partnership, limited liability company or joint venture, said provisions shall apply with respect to a transfer (by one or more transfers) of an interest in the distributions of profits and losses of such partnership, limited liability company or joint venture (or other mechanism, such as, by way of example, the creation of additional general partnership, limited partnership or member interests) which results in a change of control of such a partnership, limited liability company or joint venture, as if such transfer of an interest in the distributions of profits and losses of such partnership or joint venture which results in a change of control of such partnership, limited liability company or joint venture were an assignment of this Lease; but said provisions shall not apply to transactions with a corporation into or with which Tenant is merged or consolidated or to which all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets are transferred or to any corporation which controls or is controlled by Tenant or is under common control with Tenant, provided that in the event of such merger, consolidation or transfer of all or substantially all of Tenant’s assets (i) the successor to Tenant has a net worth computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles at least equal to the greater of (1) the net worth of Tenant immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or transfer, or (2) the net worth of Tenant herein named on the date of this Lease, and (ii) proof satisfactory to Landlord of such net worth shall have been delivered to Landlord at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of any such transaction.

(d) Without limiting any of the provisions of this Section 24, if pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code (herein referred to as the “Code”), or any similar law hereafter enacted having the same general purpose, Tenant is permitted to assign this Lease notwithstanding the restrictions contained in this Lease, adequate assurance of future performance by an assignee expressly permitted under such Code shall be deemed to mean the deposit of cash security in an amount equal to the sum of one year’s Fixed Basic Rent plus an amount equal to the Additional Rent for the calendar year preceding the year in which such assignment is intended to become effective, which deposit shall be held by Landlord for the balance of the Term, without interest, as security for the full performance of all of Tenant’s obligations under this Lease, to be held and applied in the manner specified for any security deposit required hereunder.

(e) Except as specifically set forth above, no portion of the Premises or of Tenant’s interest in this Lease maybe acquired by any other person or entity, whether by assignment, mortgage, sublease, transfer, operation of law or act of the Tenant, nor shall Tenant pledge its interest in this Lease or in any security deposit required hereunder.

(f) In the event Tenant desires to assign its lease or sublet any portion of the Premises, Tenant shall cause any and all advertisements or notices of availability to be delivered to Landlord for Landlord’s approval prior to releasing or publishing same.

25. Relocation. The Landlord, in its commercially reasonable discretion, shall have the right from time to time to change the location of the Premises to other space (the “Substituted Leased Premises”) within the Building, subject to the terms and conditions set forth below.

(a) The Substituted Leased Premises shall contain a minimum floor area of approximately the same number of square feet as are contained in the Premises; and the square footage of any Common Facilities attributable to the Substituted Leased Premises shall be approximately the same as that of the Common Facilities attributable to the Premises.

(b) The Landlord shall give the Tenant notice of Landlord’s decision to relocate the Tenant; and the Tenant agrees that it shall relocate to the Substituted Leased Premises as soon as same is ready for occupancy.

(c) The Landlord shall bear and pay for the cost and expense of any such relocation; provided, however, that the Tenant shall not be entitled to any compensation for damages for any interference with or interruption of its business during or resulting from such relocation. The Landlord shall make reasonable efforts to minimize such interference. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord so as to facilitate the prompt completion by Landlord of its obligations under this Section. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant agrees to provide to Landlord promptly such approvals, instructions, plans, specifications or other information as may be reasonably requested by Landlord.

(d) In connection with any such relocation, the Landlord shall, at its own cost and expense, furnish and install in (or, if practicable, relocate to) the Substituted Leased Premises all walls, partitions, floors, floor coverings, ceilings, fixtures, wiring and plumbing, if any, (as distinguished from trade fixtures, equipment, furniture, furnishings and other personal property belonging to Tenant) required for the Tenant’s proper use and occupancy thereof, all of which items shall be comparable in quality to those situated in the Premises.

(e) Landlord and Tenant shall promptly execute an amendment to this Lease reciting the relocation of the Premises and any changes in the Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent payable hereunder on account of the change in rentable area of the Substituted Lease Premises.

26. Subordination. This Lease and Tenant’s rights under this Lease shall be subject and subordinate at all times in lien and priority to any first mortgage or other primary encumbrance now or hereafter placed upon or affecting the Property or the Premises, and to any second mortgage or encumbrance with the consent of the first mortgagee, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations and extensions thereof, without the necessity of any further instrument or act on the part of Tenant. Tenant shall execute and deliver upon demand a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement and any further instrument or instruments confirming the subordination of this Lease to the lien of any such first mortgage or to the lien of any other mortgage, if requested to do so by Landlord with the consent of the first mortgagee, and any further instrument or instruments of attornment that may be desired by any such mortgagee or Landlord, provided, however, that any holder of such lien or mortgage agrees not to disturb the use and occupancy of the Premises in accordance with the terms of this Lease upon any foreclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any mortgagee may at any time

subordinate its mortgage to this Lease, without Tenant’s consent, by giving notice in writing to Tenant and thereupon this Lease shall be deemed prior to such mortgage without regard to their respective dates of execution and delivery. In that event such mortgagee shall have the same rights with respect to this Lease as though this Lease had been executed prior to the execution and delivery of the mortgage and had been assigned to such mortgagee.

27. Curing Tenant’s Defaults. If Tenant defaults in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease, Landlord may, without any obligation to do so and in addition to any other rights it may have in law or equity, elect to cure such default on behalf of Tenant after written notice (except in the case of emergency) to Tenant. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any sums paid or costs incurred by Landlord in curing such default, including Interest thereon from the respective dates of Landlord’s making the payments and incurring such costs, which sums and costs together with interest thereon shall be deemed Additional Rent payable within ten (10) days of demand.

28. Surrender.

(a) At the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall promptly yield up the Premises and all improvements, alterations and additions thereto, and all fixtures and equipment servicing the Premises in a condition which is clean of garbage and debris and broom clean and in the same condition, order and repair in which they are required to be kept throughout the Term, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

(b) If Tenant, or any person claiming through Tenant, continues to occupy the Premises after the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease or any renewal thereof without prior written consent of Landlord, the tenancy under this Lease shall become, at the option of Landlord, expressed in a written notice to Tenant and not otherwise, a tenancy from month-to-month, terminable by Landlord on thirty (30) days prior notice, under the same terms and conditions set forth in this Lease; (ii) the Fixed Basic Rent during such continued occupancy shall be two hundred percent (200%) of the Fixed Basic Rent for the last year of the Term and (iii) Tenant shall indemnify Landlord for any loss or damage incurred by reason of Tenant’s failure to surrender the Premises. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, any holding over by Tenant without Landlord’s prior written consent shall constitute an event of default under this Lease and shall be subject to all the remedies set forth in Subsection 29(b) of this Lease.

29. Defaults-Remedies.

(a) Defaults. It shall be a default or event of default under this Lease if any one or more of the following events occurs:

(i) Tenant fails to pay in full, when due and without demand, any and all installments of Fixed Basic Rent or Additional Rent or any other charges or payments due and payable under this Lease whether or not herein included as rent.

(ii) Tenant violates or fails to perform or otherwise breaches any agreement, term, covenant or condition contained in this Lease.

(iii) Tenant abandons or vacates the Premises without notice and without having first paid to Landlord in full all Fixed Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other charges that have become due as well as all which will become due thereafter through the end of the Term.

(iv) Tenant fails to furnish a Tenant Estoppel Certificate within the time period provided by Section 37 below.

(v) Tenant becomes insolvent or bankrupt in any sense or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or if a petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization or for an arrangement with creditors under any federal or state law is filed by or against Tenant, or a xxxx in equity or other proceeding for the appointment of a receiver or similar official for any of Tenant’s assets is commenced, or if any of the real or personal property of Tenant shall be levied upon by any sheriff, marshal or constable; provided, however, that any proceeding brought by anyone other than the parties to this Lease under any bankruptcy, reorganization arrangement, insolvency, readjustment, receivership or similar law shall not constitute an event of default until such proceeding, decree, judgment or order has continued unstayed for more than sixty (60) consecutive days.

(vi) Any of the events enumerated in Subsections (a)(i) through (a)(v) of this Section 29 happen to any guarantor of this Lease.

(b) Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under this Lease, Landlord shall have all of the following rights:

(i) Landlord may charge a late payment charge of five (5%) percent of any amount owed to Landlord pursuant to this Lease which is not paid within five (5) days of the due date which is set forth in the Lease or, if a due date is not specified in this Lease, within thirty (30) days of the mailing of a xxxx therefor by Landlord. If Landlord incurs a late charge in connection with any payment which Tenant has failed to make within the times required in this Lease, Tenant shall pay Landlord, in addition to such payment due, the full amount of such late charge incurred by Landlord. Nothing in this Lease shall be construed as waiving any rights of Landlord arising out of any default of Tenant, by reason of Landlord’s imposing or accepting any such late charge(s) and/or interest; the right to collect such late charge(s) and/or interest is separate and apart from any rights relating to remedies of Landlord after default by Tenant including, without limitation, the rights and remedies of Landlord provided herein.

(ii) Landlord shall be entitled to damages computed in accordance with Section 29(c)below.

(iii) Landlord may re-enter the Premises and, at the option of Landlord, remove all persons and all or any property therefrom, either by summary dispossess proceedings or by any suitable action or proceeding at law or by force or otherwise, without being liable for prosecution or damages therefor, and Landlord may repossess and enjoy the Premises. Upon recovering possession of the Premises by reason of or based upon or arising out of a default on the part of Tenant, Landlord may, at Landlord’s option, either terminate this Lease or make such alterations and repairs as may he necessary, as reasonably determined by Landlord, in order to

relet the Premises and may relet the Premises or any part or parts thereof, either in Landlord’s name or otherwise, for a term or terms which may, at Landlord’s option, be less than or exceed the period which would otherwise have constituted the balance of the Term and at such rent or rents and upon such other terms and conditions as in Landlord’s sole discretion may seem advisable and to such person or persons as may in Landlord’s discretion seem best; upon each such reletting all rents received by Landlord from such reletting shall be applied as follows: first, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such reletting, including all costs of alterations and repairs; second, to the payment of any indebtedness other than Fixed Basic Rent, Additional Rent or other charges due hereunder from Tenant to Landlord; third, to the payment of Fixed Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other charges due and unpaid hereunder; and the residue, if any, shall be held by Landlord and applied in payment of future rent as it may become due and payable hereunder. If rentals received from reletting during any month are less than that to be paid during that month by Tenant, Tenant shall pay any such deficiency to Landlord. Such deficiency shall be calculated and paid monthly. No such re-entry or taking possession of the Premises or the making of alterations or improvements thereto or the reletting thereof shall be construed as an election on the part of Landlord to Terminate this Lease unless written notice of termination is given to Tenant. Landlord shall in no event be liable in any way whatsoever for failure to relet the Premises or, in the event that the Premises or any part or parts thereof are relet, for failure to collect the rent thereof under such reletting. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach.

(iv) Landlord may terminate this Lease and the Term without any right on the part of Tenant to waive the forfeiture by payment of any sum due or by other performance of any condition, term or covenant broken.

(v) CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT FOR POSSESSION. UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT OR UPON THE EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION OF THE TERM OF THIS LEASE, FOR THE PURPOSE OF OBTAINING POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES, TENANT HEREBY AUTHORIZES AND EMPOWERS THE PROTHONOTARY OR ANY ATTORNEY OF ANY COURT OF RECORD IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA OR ELSEWHERE, AS ATTORNEY FOR TENANT AND ALL PERSONS CLAIMING UNDER OR THROUGH TENANT, TO APPEAR FOR AND CONFESS JUDGMENT AGAINST TENANT FOR POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES, AND AGAINST ALL PERSONS CLAIMING UNDER OR THROUGH TENANT, IN FAVOR OF LANDLORD, FOR RECOVERY BY LANDLORD OF POSSESSION THEREOF, FOR WHICH THIS AGREEMENT OR A COPY HEREOF VERIFIED BY AFFIDAVIT, SHALL BE A SUFFICIENT WARRANT; AND THEREUPON A WRIT OF POSSESSION MAY IMMEDIATELY ISSUE FOR POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES, WITHOUT ANY PRIOR WRIT OR PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER AND WITHOUT ANY STAY OF EXECUTION. IF FOR ANY REASON AFTER SUCH ACTION HAS BEEN COMMENCED THE SAME SHALL BE TERMINATED AND THE POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES REMAINS IN OR IS RESTORED TO TENANT, LANDLORD SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY SUBSEQUENT EVENT OF DEFAULT TO CONFESS JUDGMENT IN ONE OR MORE FURTHER ACTIONS IN THE MANNER AND FORM SET FORTH ABOVE TO RECOVER POSSESSION OF SAID PREMISES FOR SUCH SUBSEQUENT DEFAULT. TENANT

WAIVES ALL ERRORS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT. NO SUCH TERMINATION OF THIS LEASE, NOR TAKING, NOR RECOVERING POSSESSION OF THE PREMISES SHALL DEPRIVE LANDLORD OF ANY REMEDIES OR ACTION AGAINST TENANT FOR FIXED BASIC RENT, ADDITIONAL RENT OR FOR OTHER SUMS DUE HEREUNDER OR FOR DAMAGES DUE OR TO BECOME DUE FOR THE BREACH OF ANY CONDITION OR COVENANT HEREIN CONTAINED, NOR SHALL THE BRINGING OF ANY SUCH ACTION FOR RENT AND/OR OTHER SUMS DUE HEREUNDER, OR BREACH OF COVENANT OR CONDITION NOR THE RESORT TO ANY OTHER REMEDY HEREIN PROVIDED FOR THE RECOVERY OF RENT AND/OR OTHER SUMS DUE HEREUNDER OR DAMAGES FOR SUCH BREACH BE CONSTRUED AS A WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO INSIST UPON THE FORFEITURE AND TO OBTAIN POSSESSION IN THE MANNER HEREIN PROVIDED.

(c) Damages. If Landlord shall not elect to terminate this Lease pursuant to Subsection 29(b)(iv) above, notwithstanding reentry upon the Premises by Landlord and in addition to and without limiting Landlord’s right to other damages, upon the occurrence of an event of default Tenant shall be and remain liable to Landlord in an amount computed as follows: (a) an amount equal to the sum of all Rent then in arrears plus the aggregate of all Rent which is payable under this Lease for the balance of the Term, computed as if no event of default had occurred and any reentry had not been made (including, without limitation, Tenant’s Proportionate Share of Operating Expenses which would be owing for the remainder of the Term, as reasonably estimated by Landlord); plus (b) all costs and expenses incurred by Landlord in connection with the event of default and any reletting of the Premises, including, without limitation, (i) costs of reentry, repair and renovation, (ii) the value of all inducements granted or paid to new tenants of the Premises in connection with reletting including, without limitation, construction allowances and the value of rent-free periods, (iii) brokers’ commissions and advertising expenses, (iv) watchman’s wages and any sheriff’s, marshall’s, constable’s or other officials’ commissions, whether chargeable to Landlord or Tenant, and (v) attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses; plus (c) interest accrued on the aggregate of the aforesaid sums from the date each was payable (or, with respect to sums owing under clause (b) from the date each was incurred by Landlord) until paid by Tenant (whether before or after judgment) at the rate of Interest; which sum shall be credited with (d) all rentals actually received by Landlord during the remainder of the Term from any replacement Tenant to which the Premises are relet.

(d) Waiver of Jury Trial. IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED BY AND BETWEEN LANDLORD AND TENANT THAT (A) THEY HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTER-CLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGAINST THE OTHER ON ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS LEASE, THE RELATIONSHIP OF LANDLORD AND TENANT, TENANT’S USE OF OCCUPANCY OF THE PREMISES OR CLAIM OF INJURY OR DAMAGE, AND (B) IN ANY ACTION ARISING HEREUNDER, THE LEGAL FEES OF THE PREVAILING PARTY WILL BE PAID BY THE OTHER PARTY TO THE ACTION.

(e) Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy provided herein or by law, 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. Landlord shall have no duty to mitigate its damages in the event of Tenant’s default under this Lease.

30. Brokers’ Commission. Tenant represents and warrants to Landlord that the Brokers (as defined in the Preamble) are the sole brokers with whom Tenant has negotiated in bringing about this Lease and Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord and its mortgagee(s) harmless from any and all claims of other brokers and expenses in connection therewith arising out of or in connection with the negotiation of or the entering into this Lease by Landlord and Tenant. In no event shall Landlord’s mortgagee(s) have any obligation to any broker involved in this transaction. In the event that no broker was involved as aforesaid, then Tenant represents and warrants to the Landlord that no broker brought about this transaction, and Tenant agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from any and all claims of any broker arising out of or in connection with the negotiations of, or entering into of, this Lease by Tenant and Landlord.

31. Notices.

32. Inability to Perform. If Landlord is delayed or prevented from performing any of its obligations under this Lease by reason of strike, labor troubles, acts of war, terrorism, bioterrorism or any cause whatsoever beyond Landlord’s control, the period of such delay or such prevention shall be deemed added to the time herein provided for the performance of any such obligation by Landlord.

33. Survival. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, the expiration of the Term, whether by lapse of time or otherwise, shall not relieve Tenant from its obligations accruing prior to the expiration of the Term.

34. Corporate Tenants. If Tenant is a corporation, the person(s) executing this Lease on behalf of Tenant hereby covenant(s) and warrant(s) that: Tenant is a duly formed corporation qualified to do business in the state in which the Property is located; Tenant will remain qualified to do business in said state throughout the Term and any renewals thereof; and such persons are duly authorized by such corporation to execute and deliver this Lease on behalf of the corporation. Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord (i) that Tenant’s most recent financial statements delivered to Landlord in connection with the execution of this Lease we true in all material respects and no material adverse changes have occurred with respect thereto and (ii) that on each anniversary of the Commencement Date, Tenant will deliver to Landlord current financial statements which shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied.

35. Waiver of Invalidity of Lease.

36. Security Deposit. As additional security for the full and prompt performance by Tenant of the terms and covenants of this Lease, Tenant has deposited with Landlord the Security Deposit. The Security Deposit shall not constitute rent for any month (unless so applied by Landlord on account of Tenant’s default hereunder). Tenant shall, upon demand, restore any portion of the Security Deposit which may be applied by Landlord to cure any default by Tenant hereunder. To the extent that Landlord has not applied the Security Deposit or any portion thereof on account of a default, the Security Deposit, or such remaining portion of the Security Deposit, shall be returned to Tenant, without interest, promptly following the termination of this Lease.

37. Estoppel Certificate. Tenant shall from time to time, within five (5) days after Landlord’s request or that of any mortgagee of Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord a written instrument in recordable form, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (the “Tenant Estoppel Certificate”). Tenant’s failure to furnish the Tenant Estoppel Certificate within said five (5) day period shall constitute an event of default under this Lease.

38. Rights Reserved by Landlord. Landlord waives no rights, except those that may be specifically waived herein, and explicitly retains all other rights including, without limitation, the following rights, each of which Landlord may exercise without notice to Tenant and without liability to Tenant for damage or injury to property, person or business on account of the exercise thereof, and the exercise of any such rights shall not be deemed to constitute an eviction or disturbance of Tenant’s use or possession of the Premises and shall not give rise to any claim for set-off or abatement of Rent or any other claim:

(a) To change the name or street address of the Building;

(b) The exclusive right to use the name of the Building for all purposes, except that Tenant may use the name on its business address and for no other purpose;

(d) To make repairs, alterations, additions, or improvements, whether structural or otherwise, in and about the Building, or any part thereof, and for such purposes to enter upon the Premises and during the continuance of any of such work, to temporarily close doors, entry ways, public space and corridors in the Building and to interrupt or temporarily suspend services or use of Common Facilities, all without affecting any of Tenant’s obligations hereunder, so long as the Premises are reasonably accessible and usable;

(b) Non Waiver. The failure of either party hereto in any one or more instances to insist upon the strict performance of any one or more of the agreements, terms, covenants, conditions or obligations of this Lease, or to exercise any right, remedy or election herein contained, shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of the right to insist upon such performance or exercise in the future, and such right shall continue and remain in full force and effect with respect to any subsequent breach, act or omission.

(c) Partial Payment. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the correct Fixed Basic Rent or Additional Rent due hereunder shall be deemed to be other than a payment on account, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment be deemed to effect or evidence an accord and satisfaction and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance or pursue any other remedy in this Lease or at law provided.

(d) Entire Agreement. This Lease constitutes the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter contained herein. Neither party hereto has made any representations or promises to the other except as expressly contained herein. This Lease supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements, informational brochures, letters, promotional information and other statements and materials made or furnished by Landlord or its agents. The submission of this Lease by Landlord, its attorneys or agents, for examination or execution by Tenant, does not constitute a reservation of (or option for) the Premises in favor of Tenant and Tenant shall have no right or interest in the Premises and Landlord shall have no liability hereunder, unless and until this Lease is executed and delivered by Landlord. No rights, easements or licenses are acquired in the Property or in any land adjacent thereto, by Tenant by implication or otherwise, except as expressly set forth in this Lease.

(f) Partial Invalidity. If any of the provisions of this Lease, or the application thereof to any person or circumstances, shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Lease, or the application of such provision or provisions to persons or circumstances other than those as to whom or which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and every provision of this Lease shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Any action brought to enforce or interpret this Lease shall be brought in the court of appropriate jurisdiction in the county in which the Building is located. Should any provision of this Lease require judicial interpretation, it is agreed that the court interpreting or considering same shall not apply the presumption that the terms hereof shall be more strictly construed against a party by reason of the rule or conclusion that a document should be construed more strictly against the party who itself or through its agent prepared the same. It is agreed and stipulated that all parties hereto have participated equally in the preparation of this Lease and that legal counsel was consulted by each responsible party before the execution of this Lease.

(h) No Recordation. This Lease shall not be recorded in whole or in memorandum form by either party hereto without the prior written consent of the other.
