NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

Engagement of the Provider

The Services Recipients hereby engage the Provider to provide certain services in connection with the operation of the business of the Services Recipients, subject, in the case of the Partnership, to the control and oversight of the General Partner, and in the case of the Operating Partnerships to the control and oversight of the OP General Partner, each acting in its role as general partner of the Partnership and the Operating Partnerships, respectively, and the Provider hereby accepts its engagement by the Services Recipients.

ARTICLE II

Term of Agreement

The term of this Agreement (the “Service Term”) shall commence on the date hereof. The Service Term shall continue for an initial term of ten (10) years, and shall thereafter continue on a year-to-year basis, in either case unless earlier terminated by the Partnership or any of the other Services Recipients for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean the failure of the Provider to comply with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement or to follow the lawful directives of the Services Recipients in connection with the performance by the Provider of its duties and responsibilities under this Agreement, as determined by the Board of Directors of the General Partner, the Boards of Managers of the LLC Subsidiaries or the Boards of Directors or Boards of Managers of any Additional Subsidiaries, as applicable, in their sole discretion.

ARTICLE III

Duties and Responsibilities of the Provider

3.1 Duties and Responsibilities. During the Service Term, the Provider shall perform such duties and responsibilities as are necessary or appropriate to conduct the day-to-day business operations of the Services Recipients, as are assigned to the Provider by the Services Recipients (the “Services”), and may include, but shall not be limited to, the matters listed on Schedule I hereto. The Services Recipients may from time to time expand, limit or otherwise modify the Services by timely notice to the Provider in writing. All activities of the Provider under this Agreement for the Partnership or the Operating Partnerships shall be performed under the direct supervision of the General Partner or the OP General Partner, each in its capacity as general partner of the Partnership or the Operating Partnerships, respectively.

3.2 Officers and Directors. During the Service Term, the persons serving as the officers and as the Independent Director (as defined in the Articles of Incorporation of the Provider) of the Provider shall be subject to the approval of the General Partner, acting in its role as general partner of the Partnership, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld and to be deemed given in the absence of an objection by the General Partner.

3.3 Equitable Relief. The Provider acknowledges that the provisions of Section 3.2 are, in view of the nature of this transaction, reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Services Recipients, and that any violation of any provision of that Section will result in irreparable injury to the Services Recipients. The Provider also acknowledges that in the event of any such violation, the Services Recipients shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damages, and to an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from any such violation, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which the Services Recipients may be entitled. The Provider agrees that in the event of any such violation, an action may be commenced for any such preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and other equitable relief in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania or the state court of competent jurisdiction sitting in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania or in any other court of competent jurisdiction. The Provider hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that the Provider may now or hereafter have to such jurisdiction or to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such a court and any claim that such suit, action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The Provider agrees that effective service of process may be made upon the Provider under the notice provisions contained in Section 8.2 of this Agreement.

3.4 Survival of Covenants. Sections 3.2 and 3.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

The Services Recipients shall include, or cause to be included, the Provider as an additional insured under all liability insurance policies maintained by, or for the benefit of, the Services Recipients. Such policies shall indemnify the Provider and its officers, directors and employees against covered claims and expenses which may be incurred by the Provider and its officers, directors and employees in connection with the activities of the Services Recipients in accordance with the terms of such policies.

ARTICLE V

Services Fee

The Services Recipients (based on the allocation of liability set forth below) shall pay the Provider a fee for performing its duties and responsibilities under this Agreement equal to their respective Allocable Share (as determined in accordance with and defined in Schedule II) of the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Provider which are directly or indirectly related to the respective businesses or activities of the Services Recipients, including, without limitation, the following: (i) any amounts related to the payment of taxes when due related to the business of the Services Recipients or to the ESOP, (ii) any income taxes incurred by the Provider on the sale of limited partnership units of the Partnership made to satisfy obligations of the Provider under the ESOP to redeem ESOP accounts of departing employees upon the termination of their employment or in connection with elections by ESOP participants to diversify their ESOP

accounts out of stock of the provider, and (iii) routine administrative charges and expenses incurred in connection with the operations of the ESOP, but, in the case of the foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii), only to the extent distributions from limited partnership units of the Partnership owned by the Provider are not sufficient to make all such payments. In addition, the Partnership and the Services Recipients shall reimburse the Provider for all costs and expenses incurred by the Provider in connection with the formation, capitalization, business or other activities of the Provider pursuant to this Agreement. The Partnership shall be jointly and severally liable for its obligations and the obligations of each of the other Services Recipients under this Article V.
