Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) 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, 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 is in lieu of ad valorem real estate taxes and would be payable if the Property were the only property of Landlord. (ii) If any special assessment is permitted to be paid in installments over a period of time, Landlord shall elect the longest available installment period and Tenant shall be responsible to pay only those installments which fall within the Term.

All refunds and credits applicable to tax periods falling within the Term shall belong solely to Tenant. d. Tenant's Personalty. Tenant shall pay all taxes imposed upon Tenant's furnishings, trade fixtures, equipment or other personal property. 7. MANAGEMENT FEE. Commencing on the Commencement Date and throughout the Term, Tenant shall pay to Landlord as Additional Rent an annual fee of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) for Landlord's services in connection with the Premises as set forth in this Lease. The payment shall be made in twelve equal monthly installments at the time and in the manner set forth in this Lease for the payment of Fixed Basic Rent. 8. INTEREST AND LATE CHARGE.

Fixed Basic Rent due from Tenant to Landlord which is not paid within thirty (30) days after the date due shall bear interest at an interest rate (the "Default Rate") equal to the Prime Rate published from time to time in the Money Rates column of the Wall Street Journal plus 4% (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 is in addition to Landlord's rights and remedies upon an Event of Default. 9. INSURANCE. a. Tenant's Insurance. Tenant shall obtain, maintain and keep in full force and effect the following insurance, at Tenant's sole cost and expense, with companies authorized to do business in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and having a rating of at least A+XV (or its equivalent) by Best Rating Source or any successor thereto (or if there be none, an organization having a national reputation in the field of rating property insurance companies): (i) "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 Tenant's equipment, furniture and furnishings, trade fixtures and other personal property in the Building or otherwise on the Premises, in such amounts and with such deductibles as Tenant deems appropriate. (ii) Workers' Compensation insurance in form and amount as required by law. -3- (iii) Commercial General Liability Insurance coverage to include bodily injury, death, property damage and, where available and customarily carried in Tenant's industry, operations hazard, contractual liability, products and completed operations liability, naming Landlord as an additional insured, in limits of not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000), with commercially reasonable deductibles. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord, no later than the Commencement Date and thereafter annually throughout the Term, certificates addressed to Landlord as certificate holder, evidencing the required liability insurance coverage, on the ACORD 27 form or comparable form in which the insurer undertakes that the policy will not be cancelled without 30 days notice to Landlord. (iv) 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 of Landlord may reasonably require from time to time if in the reasonable opinion of Landlord or said mortgagees said additional forms of insurance or increase in limits are then commonly maintained by prudent tenants in similar buildings in the area by tenants making similar uses. b. Landlord's Insurance. (i) Landlord shall obtain, maintain and keep in full force and effect the following insurance with companies authorized to do business in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and having a rating of at least A+XV (or its equivalent) by Best Rating Service or any successor thereto (or if there be none, an organization having a national reputation in the field of rating property insurance companies). (A) "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 the Building and all plumbing, electrical, mechanical and other operating systems therein and all improvements in the Building (except Tenant's property as described in Section 9(a)(i) above), in an amount equal to the full replacement cost thereof with an "agreed amount" endorsement, with such deductibles as Tenant may reasonably approve, and with so called "builder's risk" coverage during any period of construction at the Premises. (B) 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 equal to the Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent for twelve months or such longer period as Tenant may approve. Landlord shall furnish to Tenant, no later than the Delivery Date and thereafter annually throughout the Term, certificates addressed to Tenant as certificate holder, evidencing the required insurance coverage, on the ACORD 27 form or comparable form in which the insurer undertakes that the policy will not be cancelled without thirty (30) days prior notice to Tenant. (ii) Beginning on the Commencement Date and throughout the Term, Tenant shall pay the premiums for Landlord's insurance required under Section 9(b) above. Premiums for the years in which the Commencement Date and the termination date of the Term -4- occur shall be prorated. Tenant's premium payment shall be paid to Landlord within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of a copy of the insurer's invoice and with the required insurance certificate. If the premiums for Landlord's insurance exceed by five percent (5%) or more the premium cost at which Tenant is able to purchase the same or better coverage from a company meeting the standards set forth in Section 9(b)(i) and otherwise satisfying Landlord's insurance requirements pursuant to any loan secured by a mortgage on the Property ("Qualified Company"), then at its option Tenant may require that Landlord's insurance be purchased from the Qualified Company of Tenant's choice unless Landlord commits in writing to Tenant that Landlord will pay its own insurance premiums to the extent they exceed the premium cost charged by the Qualified Company selected by Tenant. (iii) Notwithstanding payment 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 subject to the terms of this Lease Landlord shall use such proceeds in the repair and reconstruction of the Building and the Premises. Landlord will not carry insurance of any kind on Tenant's furniture or furnishings, or on any fixtures, equipment or other personal property of Tenant under this Lease, and Landlord shall not be obligated to repair any damage thereto or replace the same. c. Failure to Insure. If either Landlord or Tenant shall fail to obtain, and furnish certificate evidence as required above, of the insurance required to be carried by it under this Section 9, (i) the party failing to carry insurance shall be responsible for all losses suffered by the other party which would have been covered had the required insurance been in effect at the time of the loss, and (ii) if such failure continues for twenty (20) days after notice from the other party, as evidenced by the failure to produce the required certificate of coverage, the other party may purchase the required insurance, with a term of up to twelve months, for the account of the defaulting party. d. Waiver of Subrogation. Any policy or policies of fire, extended coverage or similar casualty insurance, which either party obtains in connection with the 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, except as otherwise provided in Section 9(c)(i) above in the case of a party's failure to carry the required insurance, 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 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 -5- 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. 10.

In addition, Landlord shall request repairs to be made to the roof upon Tenant's request. (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Landlord shall make a capital expenditure which effectuates cost savings to Tenant in Tenant's operation and maintenance of the Premises (other than one which is required to be made pursuant to Section 12 below), then Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for such capital expenditure to the extent of the savings. b.

Except to the extent the responsibility of Landlord as set forth in Section 10(a) above, at all times during the Term of this Lease Tenant, at its own cost and expense, shall maintain and repair the Premises and every part thereof including the Building Systems (except only the parts for which Landlord is responsible under Section 10(a) or other express provision of this Lease), and all equipment, fixtures and improvements therein (including the windows, glass, plate glass, doors, and the interior surfaces of exterior walls, interior walls -6- and floor coverings unless the repair is needed due to the failure of a structural element of the Premises for which Landlord is responsible pursuant to Section 10(a) above) in good condition, reasonable wear and tear and damage by fire or other casualty excepted.

(iii) At least once each year Tenant shall bring in an independent inspector of Tenant's choice reasonably acceptable to Landlord to inspect the Building and the Building Systems and give Tenant a written report of his or her findings. Tenant shall follow all reasonable maintenance recommendations in such report other than those recommendations relating to elements for which Landlord is responsible, provided that nothing herein shall make Tenant responsible for capital replacements of Building Systems, except as provided in Section 10(b)(ii) above. Tenant shall furnish a copy of every annual inspection report (even if in draft form) to Landlord within fifteen (15) days of receipt. (iv) Tenant shall keep the Premises clean and free from dirt, rubbish, waste and debris at all times and shall be responsible for the removal of trash and waste from the Property. (v) Except in the event of a casualty in which case Section 18 below shall control, Tenant shall, at Tenant's expense, promptly repair any damage to the Premises caused by Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties.

(vi) Tenant shall not do anything or permit anything to be done to the roof which would cause the roof warranty to be voided. c. Notice; Failure to Maintain.

If either Landlord or Tenant shall fail to perform the -7- obligations required of it under this Section 10(c) and if such failure continues for thirty (30) days after notice from the other party, or such other longer period as is reasonably necessary in all the circumstances to perform the obligation, the other party may have the maintenance or repair (including replacements) performed for the account of the defaulting party, and, to the extent that the defaulting party is otherwise responsible for the cost of such work under this Lease, may recover from the defaulting party the cost of the work plus interest at the Default Rate from the date or dates incurred to the date of full reimbursement. 11.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an interruption of utilities to the Premises which materially interferes with Tenant's use and occupancy of the Premises and which continues for five (5) consecutive business days following notice from Tenant to Landlord, then so long as same was not caused by Tenant or a Tenant Party, Tenant shall be entitled to a full abatement of Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent from the date of the interruption until such utility service is restored. 12. GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS. a. Landlord and 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 (collectively, "Governmental Regulations") relating to the Premises or to the use or manner of use of the Property.

During the Term, Tenant shall also have the right at its cost from time to time and at any time to install in and remove from the Premises any other of Tenant's furnishings, equipment and trade fixtures; provided, however, that Tenant shall repair and restore any damage or injury to the Premises caused by installation or removal. c. Tenant shall have the right to make alterations, additions and/or improvements to the Premises (collectively, the "Alterations") without cost to Landlord, provided, however, that Landlord's prior written consent shall be required for any structural Alteration, any Alteration expanding the size of the Building or making any substantive change to the exterior appearance of the Building, and any Alteration (or series of contemporaneous Alterations) costing in excess of $50,000. Where Landlord's consent is required, Tenant shall present plans and specifications to Landlord for Landlord's approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, but may be conditioned upon compliance with reasonable requirements of Landlord as provided in this Lease including, but not limited to, the following: (i) Tenant supplies any necessary permits; (ii) such alterations and improvements do not, in Landlord's -9- reasonable judgment, impair the structural strength of the Building; (iii) Tenant takes or causes to be taken all steps that are otherwise required by Section 14 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, it being understood that union affiliation or non-affiliation shall not be a basis for disapproval of a contractor. Landlord shall respond to Tenant requests for consent within twenty (20) days after Tenant's submission. In connection with any Alteration which changes the structure of the Building or the Building Systems, whether or not same requires approval, Tenant shall provide Landlord with as-built plans for same promptly following completion. Any and all Alterations to the Premises which are constructed, installed or otherwise made by Tenant shall be the property of Tenant until the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease; at that time all such Alterations shall remain on the Premises and become the property of Landlord without payment by Landlord unless, at the time of granting its consent to the Alterations, Landlord conditioned its consent in writing upon the restoration of the Premises to remove specified portions of Alterations upon the termination of this Lease, in which event Tenant will remove the specified portion of such Alterations and repair and restore any damage to the Property. 14. MECHANIC'S LIENS. a. Tenant covenants that it shall not (and has no authority to) create or allow any encumbrance against the Premises, the Property, or any part of any thereof or of Landlord's interest therein. b. Tenant covenants that it shall not suffer or permit to be created, or to remain, any lien or claim thereof (arising out of any work done or services, material, equipment or supplies furnished for or at the request of Tenant or by or for any contractor or subcontractor of Tenant, other than such furnished by Landlord) which is or may become a lien upon the Premises, the Property, or any part of any thereof or the income therefrom or any fixture, equipment or similar property therein. c. If any lien or claim shall be filed, Tenant shall within thirty (30) days after Tenant receives notice of 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 and such failure continues for ten (10) additional days after notice of default from Landlord to Tenant, 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 at the Default Rate 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. -10- 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. 15.

Landlord shall have the right at all reasonable times, with prior notice to Tenant, to enter and to exhibit the Premises for the purpose of inspection or showing the Premises in connection with a sale or mortgage and, during the last twelve (12) months of the Term, to enter upon and to exhibit the Premises to any prospective tenant. c. Tenant shall have the right to retain at all times, and to use in appropriate instances, keys to all doors within and to the Premises. 18. DAMAGE BY FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY. a. If any of the improvements on the Premises are damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord whereupon, unless one of the parties has exercised a termination right granted in this Section 18, Landlord shall repair, rebuild or replace such damage and restore the Premises to substantially the same condition as the Premises were in immediately prior to such damage or destruction; provided, however, that as long as Landlord has maintained and kept in effect the property insurance required to be carried by Landlord under this Lease, Landlord shall only be obligated to restore such damage or destruction to the extent of the proceeds of fire and other extended coverage insurance policies. b. The repair, rebuilding or replacement work shall be commenced promptly and completed with due diligence, taking into account the time required by Landlord to effect a settlement with, and procure insurance proceeds from, the insurer, and for delays beyond Landlord's reasonable control. c. If this Lease is not terminated pursuant to Section 18(f) below, the net amount of any insurance proceeds recovered by reason of the damage or destruction of the Building (meaning the gross insurance proceeds excluding proceeds received pursuant to a rental coverage endorsement and the cost of adjusting the insurance claim and collecting the insurance proceeds) shall be applied towards the cost of restoration. Insurance deductible costs incurred by Landlord, up to the approved deductible, shall be reimbursed by Tenant upon completion of repairs. d. Landlord's obligation or election to restore the Premises under this Section or to terminate this Lease shall shall not, in any event, include the repair, restoration or replacement of the fixtures, furniture or any other personal property owned, installed, made by, or in the possession of Tenant. Landlord's obligation to restore the Premises shall be subject to the terms of any present or future institutional mortgage encumbering the Property, and to the mortgagee's consent if required in such mortgage, provided however that Landlord shall in no event be excused from restoration of damage affecting less than 25% of the Building (whether because of a mortgage or otherwise) unless one of the parties exercises a termination right granted in Section 18(f) below. e. If Tenant is unable in Tenant's reasonable judgment to use the Premises or any part thereof due to fire or other casualty, Fixed Basic Rent shall be abated in proportion to -15- the unusable portion of the Premises until such time as repairs and restoration have been completed. f. (i) If the Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty such that more than 25% of the Building is reasonably expected to be unavailable for Tenant's use for a period exceeding one hundred eighty (180) days from the date of damage, then Tenant or Landlord may terminate this Lease by notice given to the other within thirty (30) days after the date of damage. (ii) If the Landlord has maintained in effect the property insurance coverage required under this Lease and the damage is caused by a peril which is not covered by the insurance, or if the insurance proceeds are not adequate to restore such damage, then either party may terminate this Lease within thirty (30) days after the damage, except that if Landlord exercises its termination right, Landlord shall state the amount of the restoration cost which is reasonably anticipated to exceed the available insurance proceeds and the reason therefore, and Tenant may nullify the termination by undertaking in writing, within thirty days after receipt of Landlord's termination notice, to cover the Landlord's cost of such repairs to the extent that they exceed the available insurance proceeds. If the excess restoration cost as reasonably estimated by Landlord exceeds three months' Fixed Basic Rent, then Landlord may require reasonable evidence that Tenant has the excess restoration costs available for reimbursement. (iii) If the Premises are damaged by fire or other casualty during the last two years of the Term and the damage affects more than 25% of the Building or is expected to take more than thirty (30) days to repair, then either party may terminate this Lease by notice given to the other within thirty days after the date of damage, except that if Landlord exercises its termination right (pursuant to this sentence only) at a time when Tenant has unexpired options to renew the Term, then Tenant may nullify Landlord's termination by exercising Tenant's renewal option within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord's notice of termination. (iv) If release of insurance proceeds for restoration is subject to mortgagee conditions and approval, then Tenant may terminate this Lease if Landlord fails to confirm to Tenant, within sixty (60) days after the date of damage, that the mortgagee's approval has been obtained and the insurance proceeds have been or will be released for restoration of the Premises. 19. NON-ABATEMENT OF RENT. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Lease, there shall be no abatement or reduction of the Fixed Basic Rent, Additional Rent or other sums payable under this Lease for any cause whatsoever and this Lease shall not terminate, nor shall Tenant be entitled to surrender the Premises, in the event of fire, casualty or condemnation. 20. INDEMNIFICATION a. Landlord hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Tenant and its employees, agents and contractors harmless from any loss, costs and damages (including reasonable attorney's fees and costs) suffered by Tenant, its agents, employees or contractors, as a result of any claim by a third party, its agents, employees or contractors arising from the negligence or misconduct of Landlord or any of the Landlord Parties. b. Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Landlord and its employees, agents and contractors harmless from any loss, costs and damages (including reasonable attorney's fees and costs) suffered by Landlord, its agents, employees or contractors, -16- as a result of any claim by a third party, its agents, employees or contractors arising from the negligence or misconduct of Tenant or any of the Tenant Parties. c. The indemnifying party shall have the right to designate counsel acceptable to the other party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, to assume the defense of any such third party claim on behalf of itself and the indemnified party. The indemnified party shall not have the right to settle any claim without the consent of the indemnifying party. This indemnity shall survive the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease. 21. EMINENT DOMAIN a. Total or Partial Taking. In the event of exercise of the power of eminent domain whereby: (i) such portion of the Property is taken that access to the Premises is permanently impaired thereby and in Tenant's reasonable judgment reasonable alternate access will not be available by the time the impairment takes effect; or (ii) more than ten percent (10%) of the parking spaces are taken and cannot be otherwise replaced at the Premises, or (iii) or more than ten percent (10%) of the square footage of the Building is taken; then Tenant, shall have the right to terminate this Lease as of the date set forth in Tenant's notice of termination to Landlord, which date shall be no later than the date when possession of that part which was taken is required to be delivered or surrendered to the condemning authority and no earlier than the anticipated date of such delivery or surrender; and in such case all Fixed Basic Rent and other charges shall be adjusted to the date of termination. A "taking" as such term, is used in this Section 21 shall include a transfer of title or of any interest in the Property by deed or other instrument in settlement of or in lieu of transfer by operation of law incident to condemnation proceedings. b. Temporary Taking. Notwithstanding anything hereinabove provided, in the event of a taking of only the right to or for possession of the Premises for a fixed period of time or for the duration of an emergency or other temporary condition, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect but Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent shall abate for the duration, and to the extent of, Tenant's dispossession. The above notwithstanding, if any such temporary taking is reasonably anticipated to continue for a period in excess of one hundred eighty (180) days, Tenant shall have the right to terminate this Lease upon ten (10) days written notice to Landlord. c. Tenant's Waiver. Regardless of whether this Lease shall terminate, Tenant shall have no right to participate or share in any condemnation claim, damage award or settlement in lieu thereof with respect to any taking of any nature; provided, however, that Tenant shall not be precluded from claiming or receiving payment for Tenant's relocation and moving expenses and the value of Tenant's leasehold improvements and fixtures as may be -17- permitted under applicable law, except to the extent that the cost of same was funded in whole or in part by Landlord. 22. QUIET ENJOYMENT. Tenant, upon paying the Fixed Basic Rent, Additional Rent and other charges herein required and observing and keeping all covenants, agreements and conditions of this Lease, shall quietly have and enjoy the Premises during the Term without hindrance or molestation by anyone claiming by or through Landlord, subject, however, to the exceptions, reservations and conditions of this Lease. 23.

Upon execution and delivery of a sublease, Tenant shall notify Landlord of the subtenant's name, its use, and the portion of the Building subleased. b. "Affiliate" shall mean any entity (and the word entity as used herein shall mean any natural individual and any corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity) which acquires all or substantially all of the shares of Tenant, any entity owned in whole or in part by Tenant, and any entity under common control with Tenant. Tenant may assign this Lease to any Affiliate or to any entity which acquires all or substantially all of the assets of Tenant at the Premises, as long as, if the assignee is not a public company, either (i) the assignee is an entity which issues audited financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles separate from any parent entity or (ii) the parent entity or other entity acceptable to Landlord guarantees this Lease. In addition, the transfer of Tenant shares as part of a public offering, the transfer of Tenant shares among existing shareholders, their families and heirs and trusts for the benefit of such shareholders, the transfer of Tenant shares on a publicly traded exchange, and the transfer of up to an aggregate of 49% of Tenant shares to outsiders in a private transaction shall be freely permitted. c. Transfer of Tenant's rights other than pursuant to Sections 23(a) and 23(b) are referred to herein as "Third Party Transfers." If Tenant proposes a Third Party Transfer, Tenant shall first give written notice of its intent to Landlord, setting forth the target date for the proposed assignment or sublease and the amount of space involved in the case of a sublease. Tenant shall furnish to Landlord the identity of the transferee, the space involved and the proposed use. Landlord shall have a period of fifteen(15) days after the receipt of Tenant's notice within which to give Tenant written notice of Landlord's election to terminate the Lease. If Landlord elects to terminate, the termination shall take effect as of the target date for the proposed assignment or sublease as set forth in Tenant's notice to Landlord. d. If Landlord elects not to terminate this Lease pursuant to Section 23(c), Tenant shall provide written notice of any Third Party Transfer to Landlord prior to the effective date of any such Third Party Transfer, setting forth the identity of the transferee, the proposed use, the space involved and plans for layout and partitioning of space in the case of any sublease. Tenant shall provide to Landlord such financial statements and other information reasonably -18- requested by Landlord in connection with the proposed Third Party Transfer which information may be considered by Landlord in connection with its approval or rejection of the Third Party Transfer. The proposed Third Party Transfer shall be subject to Landlord's approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, provided however that at Landlord's option Landlord may condition its consent to any proposed Third Party Transfer on the execution of an amendment to this Lease, effective as of the date of the Third Party Transfer, deleting, as to any then unexercised Tenant options or rights, Article 37 (captioned Renewal Option), Article 38 (captioned Right to Expand) and/or Article 41 (captioned Right of First Offer to Purchase). Landlord shall respond to Tenant requests within thirty (30) days after receipt of Tenant's request accompanied by the information required herein. e. In the case of any assignment of this Lease, the assignee shall assume, by written instrument, all of the obligations of the Tenant as provided by this Lease, and an original executed counterpart of such assumption agreement shall be furnished to the Landlord within ten days after the effective date of the assignment. Any sublease shall expressly acknowledge that said subtenant's rights against Landlord shall be no greater than those of Tenant. f. The Tenant and each assignee shall be and remain liable for the observance of all the covenants and provisions of this Lease, including, but not limited to, the payment of Fixed Basic Rent and Additional Rent reserved herein, through the entire Term, as the same may be renewed, extended or otherwise modified. g. In any event, the acceptance by the Landlord of any rent from the assignee or from any of the subtenants or the failure of the Landlord to insist upon a strict performance of any of the terms, conditions and covenants herein shall not release the Tenant herein, nor any assignee or subtenant, from any and all of the obligations to be performed by it in accordance herewith during and for the entire Term. h. Tenant shall pay to Landlord up to one Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($1,500.00) to cover the legal costs and fees it incurs in connection with a consent to any sublet or assignment. i. Without limiting any of the provisions of this Section 23, 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, 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. j. Except as specifically provided above, Tenant shall not assign this Lease or sublet all or any portion of the Premises. Tenant shall not mortgage, sublease, transfer this Lease, the Premises or the Tenant's interest therein, nor shall Tenant pledge its interest in this Lease or in any security deposit required hereunder without in each instance Landlord's prior written consent. -19- 24. SUBORDINATION. At the request of Landlord or Landlord's mortgagee, Tenant shall enter into an agreement pursuant to which 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 hereafter placed upon the Property, and to all renewals, modifications, consolidations and extensions thereof, in form and content reasonably acceptable to Landlord's mortgagee, provided, however that such agreement shall contain provisions mutually acceptable to Tenant and such lender under which 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 or other acquisition of Landlord's rights in the Lease. Landlord agrees to cause its current mortgage lender to execute and deliver to Tenant a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in a form mutually acceptable to both Tenant and such lender. 25. CURING DEFAULTS. If either party defaults in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease, the other party 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 the defaulting party after written notice as provided elsewhere in this Lease (except in the case of emergency) to the defaulting party. The defaulting party shall reimburse the other party upon demand for any sums paid or costs incurred in curing such default, including interest thereon at the Default Rate from the respective dates of the curing party's making the payments and incurring such costs, provided however that if Tenant cures a Landlord obligation for which Tenant was obligated to pay (as for example, the premiums for property insurance), then to the extent Tenant was obligated to make payment under this Lease, Tenant may not recover its expenditure from Landlord. 26. SURRENDER. a. At the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease, Tenant shall promptly yield up the Premises and all Alterations thereto, and all Building operating fixtures and equipment 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 and damage by fire or other casualty 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 for each month or portion thereof during such continued occupancy shall be one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the Fixed Basic Rent for the last month of the Term. 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 27(b) of this Lease. 27.

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. -21- (ii) Landlord may at any time and from time to time bring one or more actions to recover amounts due from Tenant, with interest at the Default Rate from the date due to the date full reimbursement is received, plus Landlord's enforcement costs. (iii) Landlord may cure Tenant's Event of Default as elsewhere provided in this Lease. (iv) Landlord may re-enter the Premises by any suitable action or proceeding at law, without being liable for prosecution or damages therefor, and Landlord may repossess and enjoy the Premises. Upon recovering possession of the Premises after an Event of Default by Tenant, Landlord may, at Landlord's option, either terminate this Lease or make such alterations and repairs as may be 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. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous breach. After obtaining possession of the Premises, Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to re-let the Premises. (v) 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. (vi) CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT FOR POSSESSION. UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT UNDER SECTION 27(a)(i) OR UPON THE EXPIRATION 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 -22- 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 UNDER SECTION 26(a)(i) 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. 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 terminate this Lease after 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 (B) all costs and expenses actually incurred by Landlord in connection with the reletting of the Premises (other than those costs for which Landlord is responsible under this Lease), 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) any sheriff's, marshall's, constable's or other officials' commissions payable on execution of any judgment against Tenant, whether chargeable to Landlord or Tenant, and (v) attorneys' fees, cost 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 (C) from the date each was paid by Landlord) until paid by Tenant (whether before or after judgment) at the Default Rate; 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 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. -23- e.

Tenant Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under this Lease by Landlord, Tenant shall have all of the following rights: (i) Tenant may at any time and from time to time bring one or more actions to recover amounts due from Landlord, with interest at the Default Rate from the date due to the date full reimbursement is received, plus Tenant's enforcement costs. (ii) Tenant may cure Landlord's event of default as elsewhere provided in this Lease. (iii) With respect to an event of default arising out of Landlord's failure to disburse the Improvement Allowance in accordance with the terms of the Work Letter, Tenant may upon written notice to Landlord setoff against its obligation to pay Fixed Basic Rent hereunder the amounts of Improvement Allowance not so disbursed upon which Landlord shall have no further obligation to disburse the amount of the Improvement Allowance setoff against Tenant's obligation to pay Fixed Basic Rent. (iv) With respect to an event of default described in Section 27(e)(ii) above, Tenant shall be entitled to an abatement of Fixed Basic Rent equal to twenty five percent (25%) of the Fixed Basic Rent otherwise due following such event of default until such time as Landlord substantially completes the Site Work. Furthermore, in such event and during the period of such event of default, Landlord, at its cost, shall provide alternative parking and transportation services in order to provide parking capacity approximately the same as that which will be provided by the Site Work. -24- g. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

WAIVER OF INVALIDITY OF LEASE. Each party agrees that it will not raise or assert as a defense to any obligation under the Lease or make any claim that the Lease is invalid or -26- unenforceable due to any failure of this document to comply with ministerial requirements including, without limitation, requirements for corporate seals, attestations, witnesses, notarizations or other similar requirements and each party hereby waives the right to assert any such defenses or make any claim of invalidity or unenforceability due to any of the foregoing. 34.

Landlord shall hold the Letter of Credit as security for the full performance by Tenant of all terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default by Tenant involving the failure to pay money, Landlord may draw upon the Letter of Credit in the amount owed by Tenant. It is understood that the proceeds of the Letter of Credit are not to be considered as the last rental due under this Lease. If at any time during the Term of this Lease, Landlord draws against the Letter of Credit in whole or in part in order to cure an Event of Default, Tenant shall within ten (10) business days after demand by Landlord tender to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit in the full amount required hereunder. If the Term is then continuing, and Landlord has received notice from the banking institution issuing the Letter of Credit that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a replacement Letter of Credit no later than twenty (20) days after Landlord's receipt of such notice. If Tenant shall fail to timely deliver a replacement Letter of Credit as aforesaid, then Landlord shall be entitled to draw immediately under the Letter of Credit in Landlord's possession, and shall hold the funds so drawn as a cash security deposit. b. The initial amount of the Security Deposit, as set forth in the Basic Lease Provisions and Definitions in the Preamble of this Lease, shall be reduced to the sum of $250,000 at such time as Tenant has achieved three (3) consecutive quarters of profitability, as demonstrated by Tenant's quarterly financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and certified by Tenant's chief financial officer. In such event Landlord shall cooperate with Tenant in connection with such reduction, including confirming its acceptance of the applicable amendment to the Letter of Credit. c. The Letter of Credit (or cash if the Security Deposit is held in cash) shall be returned to Tenant no later than thirty (30) days after expiration of the Term and surrender of the Premises. If Landlord shall fail to refund the Security Deposit or surrender the then Current Letter of Credit within thirty (30) days after Tenant's request, then in the case of a cash Security Deposit Tenant shall be entitled to recover from Landlord, in addition to the Security Deposit, interest at the Default Rate from the date due to the date the cash is received by Tenant, and in the case of the Letter of Credit, Tenant shall be entitled to recover from Landlord Interest at the Default Rate for the period of such delay in receiving the original Letter of Credit back from Landlord. -27- d.

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.

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. -28- f.

Notice of the exercise of the option shall be sent to the Landlord in writing at least twelve (12) months before the expiration of the Term. c. Each renewal term shall be for a period of five (5) years, to commence at the expiration of the preceding Term and all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, other than the Fixed Basic Rent, shall apply during such renewal term. d. The annual Fixed Basic Rent to be paid during the first renewal term shall be the fair rental value per square foot of the Premises at the commencement of the renewal term. The annual Fixed Basic Rent to be paid during the second renewal term shall be the fair rental value per square foot of the Premises at the commencement of the second renewal term. Within sixty (60) days after Tenant's notice of election to renew, the Landlord shall notify Tenant of Landlord's opinion of the fair rental value. Should Tenant dispute Landlord's determination, then the Tenant shall be free to, at the Tenant's sole cost and expense, employ the services of an appraiser familiar with buildings located within the metropolitan Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area comparable to the Building, who shall be a member of MAI and who shall render an appraisal. If the Landlord and the Tenant's appraiser cannot agree on the fair rental value, Landlord shall, at Landlord's sole cost and expense, employ the services of an appraiser familiar with buildings located with the metropolitan Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area comparable to the Building who shall be a member of MAI and who shall render an appraisal. If the two appraisers cannot agree on the fair rental value, or in such case, on an independent appraiser acceptable to both, either Landlord or Tenant may request the American Arbitration Association to appoint such independent appraiser who shall be a member of MAI familiar with comparable buildings in the area of the Building who shall render an appraisal, and in such event the judgment of a majority of the three appraisers shall be final and binding upon the parties. The parties shall share equally in the cost of any third such independent appraiser.

The Expansion Option may only be exercised by the named Tenant hereunder or an Affiliate assignee of the named Tenant. c. During the sixty (60) day period following Tenant's Expansion Exercise Notice, Landlord and Tenant shall negotiate the details of construction and Fixed Basic Rent for the Expansion Space. If the parties are unable to reach agreement within said sixty (60) day period, then at its option Tenant may, upon acquisition of necessary governmental permits and approvals, construct its addition within the Expansion Space at Tenant's own expense subject only to Landlord's approval of the Expansion Improvements Plans, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed as long as the addition is structurally sound with an exterior reasonably complementary to the rest of the Building, and Tenant may occupy the Expansion Space without increase in the Fixed Basic Rent until the expiration of the Term of this Lease, whereupon such improvements shall become the property of Landlord without compensation. 39.
