2. Premises Landlord leases to Tenant and Tenant leases from Landlord the Premises.
3. Use Tenant shall occupy and use the Premises for and only for the Use specified in Section l(k) above and in compliance with all Laws.
4. Term: Possession
(a) If Substantial Completion of the Building Shell has not occurred and Landlord has not delivered possession of the Premises to Tenant by November 1, 2004, for any reason other than because of Force Majeure Events, Tenant shall have the right at any time thereafter before such delivery, to terminate this Lease by giving not less than sixty (60) days prior’ written notice of such termination to Landlord. If this Lease is terminated by Tenant for Landlord’s failure to deliver possession of the Premises to Tenant, Landlord shall promptly reimburse Tenant for all costs incurred by Tenant in connection with this Lease, including Tenant’s reasonable attorneys’ fees.
(b) The Initial Term of this Lease shall commence on the Commencement Date and shall end on the Expiration Date, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of this Lease.
- 4 -
(c) Provided that Landlord has not given Tenant notice of monetary default more than two (2) times in the Lease year immediately preceding the then applicable Expiration Date and that there then exists no Event of Default by Tenant under this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to extend the Base Term for two (2) additional periods of seven (7) years each (the first of which is referred to herein to as the “First Extended Term” and the second of which is referred to herein as the “Second Extended Term”) (the First Extended Term and the Second Extended Term are individually referred to herein as an “Extended Term”). If Tenant exercises any of its rights to extend the Lease Term, all of the terms of this Lease shall continue in full force and effect during any Extended Term except that there shall be no further options to extend beyond the Second Extended Term and the Minimum Annual Rent shall be determined in accordance with Section 4(d) below. The right to extend the Lease Term is not assignable separately from the Lease, but shall be exercisable by Tenant’s permitted successors and assigns Tenant must exercise its right to extend the Lease Term by giving Landlord written notice of such election on or before the date which is one (1) year prior to the date on which this Lease would otherwise expire. Any notice from Tenant exercising Tenant’s right to extend the Lease Term is hereinafter referred to as “Tenant’s Extension Notice”.
(d) The Minimum Annual Rent during the first year of the First Extended Term shall be equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the Fair Market Rental Value of the Premises. The Fair Market Rental Value shall be conclusively deemed to equal the then fair market value for properties of equivalent quality, size and utility in the Philadelphia region, but without considering the value of those leasehold improvements which Tenant has made at Tenant’s expense provided that the Minimum Annual Rent for the first year of each Extended Term shall not be less than the Minimum Annual Rent payable by Tenant in the last year of the Initial Term or the First Extended Term, as applicable. Furthermore, beginning on the first day of the second Lease year of the First Extended Term and continuing through each Lease year of the Second Extended Term (if Tenant has exercised its option with respect thereto) (each a “Base Rent Adjustment Date”), the Minimal Annual Rent for each year of each Extended Term shall be adjusted by the annual change in the CPI; but in no event shall such Minimum Annual Rent for each such Lease year be less than the Minimum Annual Rent payable by Tenant in the immediately preceding Lease year. As used herein, “CPI” means the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers - United States Average; All Items (1982- 1984=100), as issued from time to time by the Federal Bureau of Labor Statistics or any successor agency or any other measure employed in lieu of such index that measures the cost of living nationally (hereinafter called the “CPI”) between the commencement date of the first Lease year of the First Extended Term and Base Rent Adjustment Date. If the CPI figure for a Base Rent Adjustment Date is not immediately available, the Landlord may estimate such figure (subject to adjustment and an appropriate credit or debit to Rent previously paid) pending issuance of such figure. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant’s Extension Notice, Landlord shall forward to Tenant in writing Landlord’s determination of the Fair Market Rental Value. If Tenant objects to the Fair Market Rental Value as quoted by Landlord, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt in good faith to negotiate a mutually acceptable determination of Fair Market Rental Value within a period of thirty (30) days following the initial quotation by Landlord. If such negotiations have not been concluded by a mutual agreement within such thirty (30) day period, either party shall have the right to have the Fair Market Rental Value determined by appraisal. The party who desires to have the Fair Market Rental Value determined by appraisal shall notify the other party of its exercise of such right. In such case, each party shall, within thirty (30) days after delivery of the notice requiring appraisal, appoint an independent
- 5 -
certified MAI appraiser having at least ten (10) years of experience appraising office and/or industrial buildings in Philadelphia Pennsylvania (a “Qualified Appraiser”) and notify the other party of the appraiser appointed. Each appraiser so appointed shall acknowledge and agree in writing that he has read and shall abide by the provisions of this Section 4(d) If a party does not appoint an appraiser within said 30-day period, the single appraiser appointed shall be the sole appraiser and shall determine the Fair Market Rental Value for the Extended Term. If two Qualified Appraisers are appointed, they shall be instructed to determine the Fair Market Rental Value of the Premises for the Extended Term and deliver a copy of such determination to Landlord and Tenant within thirty (30) days after their appointment. If the two appraisals differ by less than five percent (5%) of the lower appraisal, the Fair Market Rental Value shall be conclusively deemed to be equal to the arithmetic average of the two appraisals. If the two appraisals differ by more than five percent (5%) of the lower appraisal, the two appraisers shall be instructed to jointly designate a third Qualified Appraiser, who shall be instructed to provide his or her appraisal to the parties within twenty (20) days. Thereupon the Fair Market Rental Value shall be deemed to be the arithmetic average of the two closest appraisals, with the third appraisal being disregarded. The determination of Fair Market Rental Value in the manner set forth above shall be final and binding on Landlord and Tenant. If based on the determination of Fair Market Rental Value as aforesaid Tenant does not desire to proceed with the Extended Term, Tenant shall have the right to revoke its exercise of the option to extend by giving notice to Landlord within fifteen (15) days after such determination. The cost of Landlord’s appraiser shall be borne by Landlord, the cost of Tenant’s appraiser shall be borne by Tenant, and the cost of the third appraisal shall be shared equally between Landlord and Tenant; provided, however, that if Tenant revokes its exercise of the option to extend the Term as permitted by the preceding sentence, Tenant shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of all appraisers.
(e) Landlord represents and warrants that as of Substantial Completion of the Building Shell and delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant, the Premises shall be in compliance with all applicable Laws and that there are no Hazardous Materials, including without limitation asbestos, or any underground storage tanks in, on, under or about the Premises, Landlord further represents and warrants that the Premises shall, as of the date possession is delivered to Tenant, and subject to the Punch List items being completed and except for Latent Defects, be structurally sound and in good tenantable condition. Tenant’s acceptance of possession of the Premises then completed shall be conclusively deemed to constitute Tenant’s acceptance of the same, and thereupon Tenant shall be deemed to have acknowledged that the Building Shell is in the condition required by this Lease, except as to any Punch List items and Latent Defects. Landlord makes no other warranty, express or implied, as to the condition of the Premises except as expressly set forth in this Lease.
(f) As used in this Lease, “TERM” means the Initial Term, as it may be extended pursuant to Section 4(c).
5. Rent Commencing on the Rent Commencement Date, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord the Monthly Rent, in advance, on the first day of each calendar month during the Term, without deduction or offset, to an account designated by Landlord. If the Rent Commencement Date is not the first day of the month, the Initial Monthly Rent for that month shall be apportioned on a per diem basis and shall be paid on or before the Rent Commencement Date.
- 6 -
Any Rent not paid within five (5) days after days after the due date will bear interest at the Interest Rate from the date due to the date paid. In addition, Tenant will pay Landlord a late payment charge equal to the greater of $100 or five percent (5%) of any Rent which is not paid within five (5) days after Tenant receives written notice from Landlord that the same was not paid when due except that for purposes of the application of the late charge only as described in this Section 5, Landlord shall not be obligated to give notice more than once in any calendar year.
If any taxes, special assessments, fees, or other charges are imposed against Landlord by any authority with respect to the Rent, Tenant will pay these amounts to Landlord when due, provided that if it is unlawful for Tenant to reimburse Landlord for any of these amounts, the Minimum Annual Rent shall be increased by the amount of such charges, unless prohibited by law.
6. Operating Expense Adjustments; Reconciliation; Audit Rights.
(a) The amount of the Annual Operating Expenses set forth in Section l(h) represents the estimated Operating Expenses for the calendar year in which the Rent Commencement Date occurs, based upon the budget for such expenses which has been reasonably approved by Tenant prior to the execution of this Lease. Landlord may adjust this amount from time to time if the estimated annual Operating Expenses increase or decrease; Landlord may also invoice Tenant separately from time to time for any extraordinary or unanticipated Operating Expenses, rather than waiting until the year-end reconciliation By March 31st of each year (and as soon as practical after the expiration or termination of this Lease or, at Landlord’s option, after a sale of the Premises), Landlord shall provide Tenant with a statement of the Operating Expenses for the preceding calendar year or part thereof. Within thirty (30) days after delivery of the statement to Tenant, Landlord or Tenant shall pay to the other the amount of any overpayment or deficiency then due from one to the other or, at Landlord’s option, Landlord may credit Tenant’s account for any overpayment. If Tenant does not give Landlord written notice within ninety (90) days after receiving Landlord’s statement that Tenant disagrees with the statement and specifying the items and amounts in dispute, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived the right to contest the statement. Landlord’s and Tenant’s obligation to pay any overpayment or deficiency due the other pursuant to this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this Lease.
(b) At Tenant’s request, Landlord shall provide Tenant with supporting documentation for any element of Operating Expenses or any other charges passed through to Tenant under this Lease. In addition, no more than once each year, Tenant and/or Tenant’s representatives shall have the right upon not less than ten (10) days’ advance written notice to Landlord and its sole expense to audit, inspect and copy Landlord’s books and records relating to Operating Expenses for the calendar year immediately preceding the year during which such notice is given, provided Tenant is current in the payment of all items of Operating Expenses which are not in good faith disputed by Tenant. Any such audit shall be conducted at Landlord’s headquarters during regular business hours. If any such inspection or audit indicates that Tenant has overpaid any charges under this Lease, Landlord shall credit such overpayment
- 7 -
to the next charges due Landlord under this Lease or refund to Tenant if for the final year. If it is determined pursuant to such audit that Landlord has overstated the actual amount of the Operating Expenses for the applicable year by more than four percent (4%), Landlord shall be obligated to reimburse Tenant for its actual and reasonable out-of-pocket costs of conducting such audit. The provisions of this section shall survive termination or expiration of this Lease
7. Utilities.
(a) Landlord shall, at Landlord’s expense, be responsible for bringing all utility systems and equipment desired by Tenant to the main utility rooms of the Building or, with respect to sanitary sewer, Landlord shall run a main sanitary sewer line the length of the Building at a distance of between forty (40) and fifty (50) feet from the front wall of the Building. In addition, Landlord shall be responsible throughout the Lease Term for the maintenance and repair (including any necessary replacements) of the sanitary sewer line and of the utility systems and equipment up to the main utility rooms of the Building.
(b) If Tenant shall require electricity or install electrical equipment including but not limited to electrical hearing, refrigeration equipment, electronic data processing machines, or machines or equipment which may, in Landlord’s reasonable opinion, in any way exceed or overload the capacity of the utility systems of the Building Shell, Tenant will pay for the additional expense resulting from the installation of additional equipment.
(c) Tenant shall obtain all utility services including, without limitation, all electricity, telephone and other communication services which Tenant requires for the conduct of Tenant’s business at the Premises, in Tenant’s own name and install, maintain and repair all wiring, telephone and other communications equipment at its sole cost and expense. Tenant shall pay, as and when due, all charges for, and taxes on, the furnishing of all such utility services. Landlord shall not be responsible or liable for any interruption in utility, telephone or other communication service, nor shall such interruption affect the continuation or validity of this Lease
(d) No telecommunications carrier shall have the right to do any work for Tenant or use any space or facilities in the Building without Landlord’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Provided an Event of Default has not occurred under this Lease, Tenant shall have the right to install, maintain and repair a satellite dish and related telecommunications equipment (collectively, the “Telecommunications Equipment”) on the roof of the Building or on or along any exterior wall of the Building (only to the extent a roof-mounted installation is not permitted on account of building height restrictions imposed by applicable codes and/or ordinances) for Tenant’s exclusive use under and subject to the following conditions: (i) Tenant shall comply with all Laws and Requirements (including, but not limited to, obtaining all required permits and licenses) and shall obtain, and deliver to Landlord written evidence of, any approval(s) required under any recorded covenants or restrictions applicable to the Property, (ii) Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s prior approval of the location of the Telecommunications Equipment on the roof of the Building and of the specifications for each item of the Telecommunications Equipment, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and if Landlord gives its approval to such installation, Tenant agrees to use Landlord’s roofing contractor to ensure that the
- 8 -
installation will be performed in a manner that will not result in an impairment of any warranty for the roof obtained by Landlord or result in any damage to the roof other than incidental damage normally associated with such installation, (iii) at least three (3) business days prior to installation, Tenant shall notify Landlord of the date and time of the installation, (iv) Tenant shall maintain the Telecommunications Equipment in a safe, good and orderly condition, and the installation, maintenance, repair and removal of the Telecommunications Equipment shall be performed at Tenant’s sole expense in a manner which will not impair the integrity of, damage or adversely affect the warranty applicable to, the roof or any other portion of the Property, (v) no later than the expiration or sooner termination of the Term, at Tenant’s sole expense, Tenant shall remove the Telecommunications Equipment and repair any resulting damage, and (vi) Tenant’s indemnification of Landlord pursuant to Section 8 of this Lease also applies to the Telecommunications Equipment and Tenant’s use of any portion of the Property therefor.

If for any reason after such action shall have been commenced it shall be determined and possession of the Premises remain in or be restored to Tenant, Landlord shall have the right for the same Event of Default and upon any subsequent Event of Default(s) or upon the termination of this Lease or Tenant’s right of possession as herein set forth, to again confess judgment as herein provided, for which this Lease or a true and correct copy hereof shall be good and sufficient warrant.
(vi) The warrant to confess judgment set forth above shall continue in full force and effect and be unaffected by amendments to this Lease or other agreements between Landlord and Tenant even if any such amendments or other agreements increase Tenant’s obligations or expand the size of the Premises. Tenant waives any procedural errors in connection with the entry of any such judgment or in the issuance of any one or more writs of possession or execution or garnishment thereon.

(d) No waiver by Landlord or Tenant of any breach by the other party shall be a waiver of any subsequent breach, nor shall any forbearance by any party to seek a remedy for any breach by the other party be a waiver by such party of any rights and remedies with respect to such or any subsequent breach. Efforts by either party to mitigate the damages caused by the other party’s default shall not constitute a waiver of the non-defaulting party’s right to recover damages hereunder. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to either party 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. No payment by Tenant or receipt or acceptance by Landlord of a lesser amount than the total amount due Landlord under this Lease shall be deemed to be other than on account, nor shall any endorsement or statement on any check or payment be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of Rent due, or Landlord’s right to pursue any other available remedy.
(e) (i) Tenant shall pay upon demand all costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel, agents and others retained by Landlord, incurred in enforcing Tenant’s obligations hereunder or incurred by Landlord in any litigation, negotiation or transaction in which Tenant causes Landlord to become involved.

Tenant shall look solely to Landlord’s successor in interest for the performance of the covenants and obligations of the Landlord hereunder which subsequently shall accrue. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default under this Lease unless Tenant gives Landlord notice specifying the nature of the default and Landlord fails to cure the default within 30 days following Tenant’s notice, provided, however, if the default cannot reasonably be cured within 30 days following Tenant’s notice, Landlord shall be afforded additional reasonable time to cure the default but only if Landlord begins to cure the default within 30 days following Tenant’s notice and continues diligently in good faith to completely cure the default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord shall act immediately to cure any default on its part that results in any emergency or constitutes a threat of imminent damage or injury to persons or property. Neither Landlord nor any principal of Landlord nor any owner of the Premises, whether disclosed or undisclosed, shall have any personal liability with respect to any of the provisions of this Lease or the Premises; Tenant shall look solely to the equity of Landlord in the Premises and any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards or payments in lieu thereof with respect to the Premises for the satisfaction of any claim by Tenant against Landlord.

(b) Promptly after issuing the Severance Notice, Landlord shall prepare and deliver to Tenant, at Landlord’s expense, and Landlord and Tenant shall mutually execute and deliver, the Phase I Lease and the Phase II Lease, each of which shall be substantially identical to this Lease, except that;
(i) In the Phase II Lease, the definitions of the terms “Premises,” “Land, “Building,” “Rent” and “Term” shall mean, respectively, the Phase II Premises, the Phase II Land, the Phase II Building, the Phase II Rent and the Phase II Term, with the understanding that the Phase II Rent shall be zero until the Phase II Commencement Date, and all provisions of the Phase II Lease relating to maintenance, repair and alteration of the Phase II Building shall be of no force or effect until Substantial Completion of the Building Shell of the Phase II Building.
(ii) In the Phase I Lease, all references to the terms “Premises,” “Land,” “Kent,” “Building,” and “Term” shall be interpreted to be references to each of those terms without regard to their Phase II counterparts
(iii) The obligations of the tenant under the Phase I Lease (“Tenant I”) and the obligations of the tenant under the Phase II Lease (“Tenant II”) shall not be cross-defaulted or otherwise conditioned upon each other. The obligations of the landlord under the Phase I Lease (“Landlord I”) and the obligations of the landlord under the Phase II Lease (“Landlord II”) shall not be cross-defaulted or otherwise conditioned upon each other. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (A) all obligations of Landlord II to construct, warrant the construction of, repair or maintain the Phase II Building shall not be binding upon Landlord I, and Tenant I shall have no rights against Landlord I for failure of the Landlord II to perform any of such duties; (B) each of the Phase I Lease and the Phase II Lease may be separately assigned, mortgaged or pledged, subject to the respective terms of each such lease prohibiting or restricting assignment, mortgaging or pledging; and (C) the rights of first offer to be set forth in Section 34 of each of the Phase I Lease and the Phase II Lease shall apply only to the respective Premises demised under that Lease and shall not be linked together in any way,

(c) Landlord and Tenant shall act diligently, reasonably and in good faith in resolving any issues relating to the form of the Phase I Lease and the Phase II Lease consistent with the terms hereof, with the result that each of those separate leases will have been mutually executed and delivered by Landlord and Tenant within 30 days after Landlord delivers the Severance Notice.
- 32 -
(d) If prior to such severance Tenant shall have granted any Leasehold Mortgage pursuant to Section 36 of this Lease, Tenant shall cause the holder thereof to sever such mortgage so that it shall encumber only the Phase I Premises. No Leasehold Mortgages shall be permitted with respect to the Phase II Premises.
(e) To the extent that either Landlord or Tenant reasonably determines that it would be necessary or desirable to grant or require easements across either the Phase I Land or the Phase II Land in order to provide pedestrian or vehicular access or utility access to the Phase I Premises or the Phase II Premises in order to permit the enjoyment of such access and utilities substantially equivalent to that which would have existed in the absence of such a severance, Landlord shall create appropriate easements or cross-easements in a form reasonably acceptable to Landlord and Tenant, and shall cause such easements to be executed, delivered, acknowledged and recorded in the land records of Philadelphia County.
