2. Term of Lease.

2.1 Initial Term. The term of this Lease for the Premises shall be a period of five (5) years (hereinafter the "Initial Term") beginning on the date (herein sometimes called the "Commencement Date") of substantial completion of the Premises. Substantial completion shall be deemed to have occurred thirty (30) days after the Premises may be occupied for the uses herein provided as evidenced by a Certificate of Occupancy issued by the applicable municipal authority or, in the absence of such Certificate, as determined by Landlord's Architect. Landlord and Tenant shall sign a written statement in the form of Exhibit "B" hereto setting forth the Commencement Date and termination date of the Initial Term. In the event that either Landlord or Tenant causes any delay in the substantial completion of the Premises so that the Premises are substantially completed on a date later than when it would have been substantially completed, but for such delay, then the Commencement Date shall be deemed to have occurred on the date when the Premises would have been substantially completed but for such delay. In the event that substantial completion of the Premises is delayed because of late delivery of fixtures, equipment or other materials necessary to complete the Premises to comply with Tenant's requirements, then the Commencement Date shall be deemed to have occurred on the date when the Premises would have been

substantially completed but for such late delivery. Landlord and Tenant agree that Landlord shall use its best efforts to cause the leased premises to be delivered to Tenant for commencement of fit-out no later than November 1, 2003. In the event that Landlord delays delivery of the Premises to Tenant for fit-out beyond such date, Tenant shall receive a rental credit equal to one hundred (100%) percent of the monthly installment of Rent for each month or portion thereof of such delay.

2.2 Option Term. Tenant shall have the right or option to lease the Premises for four additional terms (hereinafter sometimes called the "Option Term") of five (5) years each for a total of twenty (20) years following the termination of the Initial Term. Such options shall be exercised by Tenant sending written notice to Landlord of its intention to exercise this option at least six (6) months prior to the expiration of the Initial Term and each subsequent term, time being of the essence. Tenant's right to extend the term for each Option Term shall automatically be extinguished as if it had never existed if Tenant fails to exercise its option in the required manner within the required period of time. If Tenant shall duly exercise its right or option to lease the Premises for such Option Terms, all terms and conditions herein shall remain the same, except that (i) Tenant shall have no further right to extend the term of this Lease; and (ii) the Base Rent (hereinafter defined) at the commencement of such Option Term shall be adjusted to Fair Market Value as provided in Paragraph 3.3

2.3 Additional Term. Upon the termination of the Initial Term if the options under Paragraph 2.2 are not exercised, or upon the expiration of the Option Terms, this lease shall continue upon the same terms and conditions for a further period of one (1) year and so on from year to year unless or until terminated by either Landlord or Tenant giving to other party written notice of termination at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the then current term; provided, however, that upon the commencement of the Additional Term and upon each annual anniversary thereof, the Base Rent (as hereinafter defined) shall be adjusted to Fair Market Value as provided in Paragraph 3.3.

reserved, or of any other sum required to be paid by Tenant under this Lease, or in the performance of or compliance with any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of this Lease, or compliance with any rule or regulation promulgated by Landlord, or if Tenant shall file a petition for relief under the federal Bankruptcy Code or shall have filed against it a petition in bankruptcy or insolvency which is not discharged within forty-five (45) days of filing, or Tenant shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall file any proceedings for reorganization or an arrangement under any federal or state law, or if any proceedings for the appointment of a receiver shall be instituted by any creditor of Tenant under any state or federal law which is not discharged within forty-five (45) days of filing, or if Tenant is levied upon and is about to be sold out upon the Premises under execution or other legal process, or if the Premises shall be deserted abandoned or vacated, or if Tenant fails to continuously conduct its business activities in the Premises, the occurrence of any such event shall constitute an event of default and a breach under this Lease. 16.2 Termination and Entry. Upon the occurrence of any event of default or breach of this Lease, Tenant shall receive written notice thereof and shall have a period of five (5) days, in the case of a monetary default, or thirty (30) days, in the case of a nonmonetary default, within which to cure said default or, only in the case of a nonmonetary default, have thirty (30) days to notify Landlord that it is proceeding in good faith to cure said default or breach. In the event that Tenant has failed within said period to cure the default or breach, or provide the notice aforesaid, then in addition to any other rights or remedies Landlord may have under this Lease or at law or in equity, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease and the term hereby created 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. In such event Landlord shall have the right to re-enter or repossess the Premises, either by force,

summary proceedings, surrender or otherwise, and dispossess and remove therefrom the Tenant, and any other occupants thereof, and their effects, without being liable for any prosecution therefore. Landlord may store such effects at Tenant's expense and/or dispose of all or any of them at any time(s) without being liable to Tenant in any manner. In such event Landlord may, at its option, relet the Premises or any part thereof for such term as Landlord desires and in such event Tenant shall be liable for and shall pay to Landlord, as and for liquidated and agreed current damages for Tenant's default, all rent then due and the rent for the unexpired balance of the lease term less the net proceeds of any reletting after deduction of all Landlord's expenses in connection with such reletting, including, without limitation all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, legal expenses, attorneys fees, and costs of alterations. Such reletting and liquidation damages shall not apply if the lessee pursuant to such reletting defaults. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon default hereunder the balance of the rent unpaid for the remainder of the term of this Lease, together with all other charges, payments, costs and expenses herein agreed to be paid by Tenant, and all costs and reasonable attorneys fees of Landlord (whether internal or external) incurred and likely to be incurred in connection with any default or the collection of sums due from Tenant hereunder, shall become immediately due and payable without any notice or demand whatsoever by Landlord and may be collected by distraint or any other means. It is agreed that the Landlord will exercise reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages.

16.3 U.C.C. Rights. Upon default by Tenant, Landlord shall have and may exercise any of or all of the rights and remedies provided to a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code then in force in Pennsylvania provided, however, that upon request of Tenant, Landlord shall execute a waiver of its lien as to leased or financed equipment or fixtures in favor of any bank, leasing company or other lender providing financing for Tenant.

16.4 Assignee's Rights. The right by Landlord to exercise any and all rights upon a default may also be exercised by any assignee of this Lease or of Landlord's right, title and interest in this Lease in the name of the Landlord or in the name of such assignee. Landlord and Tenant acknowledge Landlord's right to assign its rights in this Lease and Tenant hereby consents to such assignment and upon written notice from Landlord and an assignee agrees to make any and all payments hereunder directly to said assignee.

16.5 Non-exclusivity. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy herein or by law provided but each shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right or remedy given herein or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity by statute.

16.6 Waiver. No waiver by Landlord of any breach by Tenant of any of Tenant's obligations, agreements or covenants herein shall be a waiver of any subsequent breach or of any obligation, agreement or covenant, nor shall any forbearance by Landlord to seek a remedy for any breach by Tenant be a waiver by Landlord of any rights and remedies with respect to such breach or default or with respect to any other breach or default.

16.7 Cure by Landlord. If Tenant shall be in default hereunder, Landlord may, but shall not be

obligated to, in addition to any other rights which Landlord may have, cure such default on behalf of Tenant. In such event Tenant shall reimburse Landlord upon demand for any sums paid or costs incurred by Landlord in curing such default, including an administration fee of fifteen percent (15%) per annum of all sums advanced by Landlord as aforesaid, which sums, costs and fee shall be deemed Additional Rent payable hereunder.
