4. RENT

4.1 Amount.

4.1.1 Initial Term Base Rent . Tenant shall pay Base Rent to Landlord during the Initial Term beginning on the Commencement Date and on the first business day of each successive calendar month, in advance and without demand. The Base Rent for the Initial Term (“Initial Term Base Rent”) shall be Four Hundred Eighteen Thousand Five Hundred Dollars and No Cents ($418,500.00) per year, payable in equal monthly installments of Thirty-Four Thousand Eight Hundred Seventy-Five Dollars and No Cents ($34,875.00). Landlord acknowledges that for the period January 1, 2005 to September 30, 2005 (the “Stub Period”), it has received Base Rent payments from Tenant in an amount equal to Four Hundred Ninety Seven Thousand One Hundred Seventy-Eight Dollars and No Cents ($497,178.00) which represents an overpayment of Base Rent of One Hundred Eighty-Three Thousand Three Hundred Three Dollars and No Cents ($183,303.00) during the Stub Period. Tenant shall be credited such amount less the amount of Prepaid Taxes (as defined in Section 6.1.3), Insurance Costs (as defined in Section 10.1.1.2) and Operation and Maintenance Costs (as defined in Section 6.3) incurred by Landlord as set forth herein. Such credit amounts to Seventy-Nine Thousand Eighty-Four Dollars and Ninety-Eight Cents ($79,084.98) which will be applied to the Base Rent for the months of October, November and December of 2005. Accordingly, the next Base Rent payment due to Landlord shall be Twenty-Five Thousand Five Hundred Forty Dollars and Two Cents ($25,540.02) which shall be due and payable on December 1, 2005.

4.1.2 Renewal Term Base Rent. Tenant shall pay Base Rent to Landlord on the first day of each month during the Renewal Term, in advance and without demand.

Base Rent must be received by Landlord, on the first business day of each month by either (a) wire transfer to Landlord’s account at Dollar Bank, account # 266 ###-###-####, Dollar Bank, ABA # 243-074-385, or (b) by check made payable to Landlord, which shall be delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to Regional Industrial Development Corporation of Southwestern Pennsylvania, Post Office Box 3830, Pittsburgh, PA ###-###-####, or to such other account or address as Landlord may specify from time to time.

4.3 Late Charge. If any installment of Rent, or any other sum due from Tenant shall not be received by Landlord within ten (10) days after the due date, then Tenant shall pay Landlord a late charge for each month or partial month that such amount is overdue equal to the overdue amount of any Rent or other sum that is due and payable to Landlord multiplied by FIVE PERCENT (5%) (the “Late Rate”). Acceptance of such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant’s default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.

5. ADDITIONAL RENT

5.1 Payment. In addition to Base Rent, Tenant shall pay all Taxes, Utility Costs, insurance costs and Operation and Maintenance Costs related to the Leased Premises (collectively, the “Additional Rent”).

12.2 Tenant’s Obligations. Except as the Landlord is obligated for repairs as provided in Section 12.1, Tenant shall make, at its sole cost and expense, all repairs and replacements necessary to maintain the Leased Premises and shall keep the Leased Premises and fixtures therein, and the parking lots, roadways, sidewalks and walkways which are part of the Leased Premises in neat, clean, and orderly condition. Tenant’s repair and maintenance obligations shall include, but shall not be limited to, all HVAC, plumbing and sewerage facilities within the Leased Premises, fixtures, interior walls and ceiling, floors, windows (including the repairing, resealing, cleaning and replacing of both interior and exterior windows), interior and exterior doors, entrances, plate glass, showcases, skylights, all electrical facilities and equipment, including lighting fixtures, lamps, fans and any exhaust equipment and systems, electrical motors and all other appliances and equipment of every kind and nature located in, upon or about the Leased Premises.

If Tenant refuses or neglects to make any such repairs which are its responsibility hereunder, or fails to diligently prosecute the same to completion, after written notice from Landlord of the need therefor, and a reasonable time thereafter in which to make the same, Landlord may make such repairs at the expense of Tenant and such expense shall be collectible as Additional Rent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that certain portions of the parking lots and roadways on the Leased Premises are in need of replacement as of the date of execution hereof. Landlord further acknowledges and agrees that Tenant shall not be obligated to replace all or any portion of the parking lots and roadways or improve the same beyond their current condition, provided that Tenant shall maintain the condition of the same in at least the same condition as they are in as of the date of execution hereof using methods similar to those used by Landlord for the maintenance thereof prior to the date hereof.

12.3 No Liability. Landlord shall not be liable by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business arising from the making of any repairs, alterations, additions or improvements in or to the Leased Premises or the Building or to any appurtenances or equipment therein except for injuries or interference with Tenant’s business relating to Landlord’s repairs of the items it is required to repair hereunder, including Capital Items.

12.4 Mold.

Tenant shall not install any Tenant’s Improvements or conduct any activities in the Leased Premises that would create any mold (“Mold”) or conditions that reasonably can be expected to give rise to mold (the “Mold Conditions”), including, but not limited to, observed or suspected instances of water damage, mold growth, repeated complaints of respiratory ailment or eye irritation by Tenant’s employees or any other occupants in the Leased Premises, or any notice from a governmental agency of complaints regarding the indoor air quality at the Leased Premises attributable to Tenant’s Improvements or Tenant’s activities in the Leased Premises. Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord in writing if it suspects Mold or Mold Conditions at the Leased Premises.

In the event of suspected Mold or Mold Conditions at the Leased Premises, Landlord shall have the right to cause an inspection of the Leased Premises to be conducted, during such time as Landlord may reasonably designate, to determine if Mold or Mold Conditions are present at the Leased Premises; provided that Tenant shall have the right to perform its own inspection of the Leased Premises. If it is ultimately determined that Mold or Mold Conditions are present and are exclusively attributable to Tenant’s Improvements or Tenant’s activities in the Leased Premises, Tenant will reimburse Landlord for the cost of such inspection and will pay for the reasonable cost of remediation by Landlord. If it is determined that Mold or Mold Conditions are present and are attributable to Landlord’s failure to perform any of its maintenance and repair obligations hereunder, Landlord will reimburse Tenant for the cost of inspection and will pay for the cost of remediation by Tenant.

13. IMPROVEMENTS

13.1 Tenant’s Improvements. Tenant shall have the right to make any additions, alterations and improvements to the Leased Premises. Any such improvements made by Tenant are collectively referred to as “Tenant’s Improvements”. The installation of all of Tenant’s Improvements shall comply with all insurance requirements and all applicable governmental laws, ordinances, and regulations, and shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner. Tenant shall obtain all necessary permits required by governmental authorities having jurisdiction prior to the commencement of construction of Tenant’s Improvements. In the event that Tenant is required to obtain such a permit(s) to perform the Tenant Improvements, Tenant shall also be required to receive Landlord’s prior approval prior to the commencement of construction of the Tenant Improvements. Landlord shall provide such approval no later then five (5) business days after receiving Tenant’s request for approval and such approval may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

13.2 Damage to Systems. If any part of the mechanical, electrical or other systems in the Leased Premises (i.e., life safety or automatic fire extinguisher/sprinkler system) shall be damaged by Tenant, its contractors or subcontractors during the performance of the Tenant’s Improvements, Tenant shall promptly notify Landlord and Tenant will promptly repair such damage at Tenant’s expense. In the event that Tenant does not repair such damage within a reasonable period of time (which shall not exceed sixty (60) days), Landlord shall have the right but not the obligation to make any repairs or alterations which Landlord deems necessary for the safety or protection of the Building, or which Landlord is required to make by any court or pursuant to any governmental requirement. The cost of any repairs made by Landlord on account of Tenant’s default, or on account of the misuse or neglect by Tenant or its invitees, contractors or agents anywhere in the Building shall become Additional Rent payable by Tenant within thirty (30) days of Tenant’s receipt of Landlord’s invoice for the same. In no event shall such damage result in the abatement of any Rent payable hereunder.

13.3 Mechanics Liens. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as constituting the consent or request of Landlord, express or implied, to or for the performance (on behalf of or for the benefit of Landlord) by any contractor, laborer, materialman or vendor, of any labor or services or for the furnishing of any materials for any construction, alteration, addition, repair or demolition of or to the Leased Premises or any part thereof. Notice is hereby given that Landlord will not be liable for any labor, services or materials furnished or to be furnished to Tenant, or to anyone holding an interest in the Leased Premises or any part thereof through or under the Tenant, and that no mechanic’s or other liens for any such labor, services or materials shall attach to or affect the interest of Landlord in and to the Leased Premises. Tenant will not file, nor will it permit or suffer any contractor or subcontractor, materialman or mechanic or other person under it to file, nor shall any contractor, subcontractor, materialman or mechanic file any mechanics’ lien or other liens or claims for work done or materials furnished in or about the Leased Premises against the Leased Premises, the Building or the Leased Premises. Unless Landlord otherwise agrees, in writing, prior to the commencement of any work on the Leased Premises, Tenant shall file in the office of the Prothonotary of the county where the Leased Premises is located a waiver of the right to file liens which shall be in the usual form for such waivers, such form to be approved by the Landlord. Landlord’s consent to any such work shall not be deemed to mean that the work is for the benefit of Landlord. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any mechanics’ or other lien shall be filed against the Leased Premises purporting to be for labor or material furnished or to be furnished at the request of Tenant, then Tenant shall, at its expense, cause such lien to be discharged of record by payment, bonded over or other adequate security provided, within thirty (30) days after the filing thereof. If Tenant shall fail to cause such lien to be discharged of record within such thirty-day period, or, if such lien is contested by Tenant and Tenant fails to provide adequate security for Landlord’s protection; then Landlord may cause such lien to be discharged by payment, bond or otherwise, without investigation as to the validity thereof or as to any offsets or defenses thereto, and Tenant shall, upon demand, reimburse Landlord for all reasonable amounts paid and costs incurred including attorneys’ fees, in having such lien discharged of record.

14. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING

14.1 Consent Required. Tenant may not assign, transfer, encumber, mortgage or convey this Lease or sublet all or any part of the Leased Premises without the prior written consent of Landlord, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that such consent may be withheld at Landlord’s sole discretion if the proposed assignee or subtenant or its proposed use of the Leased Premises would be in violation of the requirements of any provider of financing for the Leased Premises or any agency having authority over the Leased Premises. Landlord’s refusal to grant consent under this Section 14.1 shall not be deemed an unreasonable withholding of consent if the general reputation or financial position of the proposed assignee or sublessee is unsatisfactory to Landlord after having had the opportunity to review financial and other information relating to the proposed assignee or sublessee and to make any necessary inquiries of the proposed assignee or sublessee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall have the right to assign this Lease to a present or future wholly owned subsidiary or parent or any successor-in-interest of the entire business of Tenant as a result of merger, consolidation, purchase, assignment or operation of law without the consent of Landlord. If Tenant is a corporation, except in cases where all the outstanding voting stock of Tenant is listed on the National Securities Exchange, any change in ownership or power to vote a majority of the outstanding voting stock or any merger, consideration or liquidation involving Tenant shall be deemed an assignment of Tenant’s interest in this Lease. In the event Landlord consents to any assignment or subletting, no such consent shall be deemed to be a consent to any subsequent assignment or sublease. In the event that Landlord consents to an assignment of this Lease to a third party, Tenant shall be relieved of all of its obligations set forth in this Lease. If Landlord consents to any sublet, the sublease shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease, except those terms and conditions relating to Rent, Additional Rent, and any other amount due under this Lease. Any subtenant shall acknowledge that it has reviewed and agreed to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease. Such subtenant shall agree in the sublease not to do, or fail to do, anything that would cause Tenant to violate its obligations under this Lease. The sublease shall (a) require that subtenant shall have no right to exercise any purchase option granted to Tenant in this Lease, (b) contain a waiver of subrogation against Landlord and require subtenant’s insurance policies to acknowledge such a waiver of subrogation, (c) require subtenant to send Landlord copies of any and all notices concerning the subleased space that subtenant is obligated to provide to Tenant, (d) provide that, at Landlord’s option, the sublease shall not terminate in the event this Lease terminates and subtenant shall execute an attornment agreement if Landlord, in its absolute discretion, elects to have the sublease continue beyond the date of the termination of this Lease, (e) provide that subtenant shall have no right (and shall waive any rights it may have) to hold Landlord responsible for any liability in connection with the Leased Premises, including, without limitation, any liability arising from the noncompliance with any federal, state or local laws applicable to the Leased Premises.

15. RIGHTS OF LANDLORD

15.1 Access. Landlord, its employees and agents, upon reasonable notice to Tenant (except in the event of an emergency), shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enter the Leased Premises for the purpose of examining or inspecting the same, showing the same to prospective

purchasers, mortgagees, or tenants of the Leased Premises or the Building, and making such repairs, alteration, improvement or additions to the Leased Premises as are required of Landlord hereunder. If representatives of Tenant shall not be present to open and permit entry into the Leased Premises at any time when such entry by Landlord is necessary or permitted hereunder, then Landlord may enter by means of a master key (or forcibly in the event of an emergency) without liability to Tenant and without such entry constituting an eviction of Tenant or termination of this Lease.

15.2 Changes. The Landlord reserves the right to change the name of the Building without notice or liability to Tenant.

16. SURRENDER

At the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall surrender the Leased Premises to Landlord, together with all Tenant Improvements, in broom clean condition and in good order and repair except for ordinary wear and tear and damage by fire or other hazard for which Tenant is obligated to make repairs under this Lease. Tenant shall not be required to restore the Building to its original warehouse design and shall not be liable for any costs that may be incurred by Landlord in doing so. Tenant shall remove from the Leased Premises all of Tenant’s personal property brought onto or into the Leased Premise pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof. Landlord shall have no claim to such personal property as a result of the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease except as provided herein. Any such removal as described in the previous sentence shall not damage the Leased Premises, and to the extent it does so damage the Leased Premises, such damage shall be repaired by Tenant in a good and workmanlike manner. Any personal property or equipment not so removed by Tenant shall be deemed abandoned and, if Landlord elects, shall become the sole property of Landlord. If Landlord elects to remove and dispose of the same, Tenant will reimburse Landlord for the cost of such removal and disposal. Landlord may, in its sole discretion, conduct an inspection of the Leased Premises thirty (30) days prior to the Termination Date (the “Initial Walk-Through”) and an inspection on the Termination Date (“the Final Walk-Through”) in order to determine whether the Leased Premises is in the condition required pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 16 and after the Initial Walk-Through and the Final Walk-Through, Landlord shall note and deliver any punch list items (the “Punch List Items”) which Tenant must repair for the Leased Premises to be in the required condition. In the event that the Leased Premises is not in the condition specified in the first sentence of this Section 16 at the time that Landlord conducts the Final Walk-Through, Tenant shall have a seven (7) day period immediately following the date of such Final Walk-Through to repair the Punch List Items and surrender the Leased Premises in the condition required hereunder. If Tenant has not repaired the Punch List Items and surrendered the Leased Premises in the condition required hereunder prior to the expiration of such seven (7) day period, the Landlord shall make such repairs and send Tenant an invoice for the actual cost of the same. Tenant’s only obligation to Landlord during such seven (7) day period shall be to repair the Punch List Items. All other obligations of Tenant shall terminate as of the Termination Date.

17. DAMAGE TO OR DESTRUCTION OF LEASED PREMISES

17.1 Landlord’s Duty to Repair and Restore. Subject to Section 17.3 below, if all or a part of the Leased Premises is rendered untenantable or inaccessible by damage to all or part of the Building from fire, the elements, accident, or other casualty (collectively, “Casualty”) Landlord shall, at its expense, use best efforts to repair and restore the Leased Premises and/or the Building, as the case may be, to its former condition to the extent permitted by then applicable laws; provided, however, that in no event shall Landlord have any obligation:

17.1.1 To make repairs or restoration beyond the extent of insurance proceeds received by Landlord and Tenant for such repairs or restoration; or

17.1.2 To repair or restore any of Tenant’s personal property, trade fixtures, or alterations.

17.2 Repairs. If Landlord is required to repair damage to the Leased Premises and/or the Building:

17.2.1 This Lease shall continue in full force and effect, but Tenant’s Base Rent and Additional Rent from the date of the Casualty through the date of completion of the repair shall be abated with regard to any portion of the Leased Premises that Tenant is prevented from using by reason of such damage or its repair;

17.2.2 In no event shall Landlord be liable to Tenant by reason of any injury to or interference with Tenant’s business or property arising from a Casualty or by reason of any repairs to any part of the Building necessitated by the Casualty, and

17.2.3 Tenant shall be obligated to repair, restore or replace trade fixtures and equipment installed by Tenant which may be damaged or destroyed by the Casualty.

17.3 Right to Terminate. Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease following damage caused by any Casualty under the following circumstances:

17.3.1 If Landlord and Tenant agree that the Leased Premises or the Building cannot be repaired and restored under applicable laws within twelve (12) months from the date of the Casualty;

17.3.2 If Landlord and Tenant agree that adequate proceeds are not, for any reason, made available to Landlord from Tenant’s and Landlord’s respective insurance policies to make the required repairs;

17.3.3 If 60% or more of the Leased Premises is damaged or destroyed (including, without limitation, by smoke or water damage);

17.3.4 If 60% or more of the Building is damaged or destroyed (including, without limitation, by smoke or water damage), regardless of whether the Leased Premises are damaged or destroyed; or

17.3.5 If the Casualty occurs during the last twelve (12) months of the Term.

17.4 Notice of Termination. If any of the circumstances described in Section 17.3 above occur or arise, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing of that fact within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of the Casualty and in such notice Tenant shall also advise Landlord whether Tenant has elected to terminate this Lease. With respect to Sections 17.3.1 and 17.3.2, if Landlord and Tenant cannot agree as to the restoration period or adequacy of insurance proceeds within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of the Casualty, the parties shall submit their dispute to a third-party mediator to be agreed upon by the parties within forty-five (45) days after the occurrence of the Casualty. Such third-party mediator shall make a determination with respect thereto which shall be final and binding on the parties. The parties shall share equally the cost of the mediator.

18. DEFAULT; REMEDIES OF LANDLORD

18.1 Tenant’s Defaults. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute an event of default (“Event of Default”) under this Lease:

18.1.1 If Tenant shall fail to pay Rent to Landlord or any other financial obligation hereunder to Landlord or a third party when the same is due and payable under the terms of this Lease and such failure shall continue for a period of ten (10) days after due, or

18.1.2 The Tenant shall fail to perform any other duty or obligation imposed upon it by this Lease and such failure shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof has been given to Tenant by Landlord, unless such default cannot be reasonably remedied within thirty (30) days after receipt of Landlord’s notice, in which event Tenant shall have such additional time as may be reasonably necessary to remedy such default, or

18.1.3 The Tenant shall be adjudged bankrupt, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or

18.1.4 A receiver of any property of Tenant in or upon the Leased Premises is appointed in any action, suit, or proceeding by or against Tenant and such appointment shall not be vacated or annulled within ninety (90) days, or

18.1.6 Tenant shall fail to assume or reject this Lease within thirty (30) days after an order for bankruptcy relief has been entered against Tenant, or

18.1.8 Tenant shall vacate or abandon the Leased Premises.

18.2. Landlord Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Landlord shall have the right to re-enter and repossess the Leased Premises and/or any part thereof, and thereupon, at Landlord’s option, this Lease shall terminate without prejudice, however, to the right of Landlord

to recover from Tenant all rent due and unpaid up to the time of such re-entry. In the event of re-entry, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall use best efforts to relet all or any portion of the Leased Premises for the remainder of the Term, for the highest rent then obtainable, and Tenant shall be liable to Landlord and Landlord shall have the right to recover from Tenant the difference between the Rent for the remainder of the Term and the amount obtained through such reletting. For the purposes of such reletting, Landlord may decorate or make repairs, changes, alterations or additions in or to the Leased Premises to the extent deemed desirable by Landlord, and the cost of such decoration, repairs, changes, alterations or additions, as well as any brokerage and legal fees expended by Landlord, shall be paid from rents collected from any resultant letting of the Leased Premises, and the balance if any thereof shall be credited against Rent due hereunder as aforesaid.

18.3 Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies given to Landlord in this Lease are distinct, separate and cumulative remedies and no one of them, whether or not exercised by Landlord, shall be deemed to be in exclusion of any of the others. Each right and remedy may be exercised concurrently with other remedies and rights of Landlord at law or in equity and shall survive any expiration or termination of this Lease. The receipt of Rent after default or after judgment or after execution shall not deprive Landlord of other actions against Tenant for possession or for Base Rent or Additional Rent or other changes or expense or for damages.

18.4 Additional Costs. Each party hereby agrees to pay reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and all other reasonable court costs or expenses which the other party may incur or pay by reason of, or in connection with any default(s) by the former party (the “defaulting party”) in the observance or performance of any obligation under this Lease including, but not limited to, matters involving payment of Base Rent and/or Additional Rent, alterations or other Tenant’s work and subletting or assignment, provided that the other party secures a final judgment against the defaulting party for such default(s).

18.5 Landlord’s Defaults. Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default in the performance of any obligation required to be performed by Landlord hereunder unless and until it has failed to perform such obligation within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Tenant to Landlord; provided, however, that if the nature of Landlord’s obligation is such that more than thirty (30) days are required for its performance, then Landlord shall not be deemed to be in default if it shall commence such performance within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion. In the event Landlord does not perform within a reasonable time after such notice, Tenant’s sole remedy is to commence legal proceedings hereunder. Tenant shall have no right to terminate this Lease or to perform on Landlord’s behalf.

19. EMINENT DOMAIN

19.1 Total or Partial Taking. If the whole of the Leased Premises shall be condemned or taken either permanently or temporarily for any public or quasipublic use or purpose, under any statute or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof, then in that event, the term of the Lease shall cease and terminate from the date of title vesting in such proceeding or purchase and Tenant shall have no claim against Landlord for the value of any unexpired term of said Lease, and shall release unto Landlord any such claim it may have against the condemnor

for such value. In the event only a portion only of the Leased Premises shall be so taken, Landlord or Tenant may elect to terminate this Lease from the date of title vesting in such proceeding or purchase. If this Lease is not terminated, Landlord shall repair and restore, at its own expense, the portion not taken and thereafter the Rent shall be reduced proportionately to the portion of the Leased Premises taken. If Landlord elects to terminate in the event of a partial taking and thereafter restores the Leased Premises, Tenant shall have a right of first refusal to re-let the Leased Premises on substantially the same terms as herein provided.

19.2 Award. Tenant shall have the right to claim and recover from the condemning authority such compensation as may be awarded or recoverable by Tenant in its own right on account of any and all damages to Tenant’s equipment, personal property, furniture, and removable trade fixtures, and Tenant’s relocation costs; but Tenant’s rights, as stated hereinabove, shall not include any right to any value attributed to the unexpired term of this Lease or any other matter which would act to reduce Landlord’s award.

20. SUBORDINATION OF LEASE/ATTORNMENT

20.1 Subordination. This Lease is and shall remain subordinate and subject to any mortgage or mortgages which are now or at any time shall be placed upon the freehold interest of Landlord or any part thereof or to any assignment of the interest of Landlord in this Lease. Tenant agrees to execute and deliver to Landlord within twenty (20) days following the date of any written request, without cost, any instrument which may be deemed necessary by Landlord to further effect the subordination of this Lease to any such mortgage, mortgages or assignments, except that such instrument shall provide that, so long as Tenant is not in default hereunder, its possession will not be disturbed (including by relocation) nor will its leasehold interest be divested.

20.2 Attornment. In the event of a foreclosure of any such mortgage, Tenant hereby agrees that this Lease shall not terminate by reason thereof, and Tenant further agrees to attorn to and to recognize as Landlord hereunder the mortgagee, or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale or any purchaser of the Leased Premises in lieu thereof, for the balance of the term of this Lease, subject to all the terms and provisions hereof provided, however, any such mortgagee or purchaser which shall become the Landlord hereunder shall not be:

20.2.1 liable for any act or omission of Landlord,

20.2.2 subject to any offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against Landlord,

20.2.3 bound by any rent or additional rent which Tenant may have paid to Landlord for more than the current month, or

20.2.4 bound by any amendment or modifications of this Lease made without its consent.

21. ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE/REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

21.1 Estoppel Certificate. Tenant shall, at any time and from time to time, within twenty (20) days following the date of any written request from Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord an estoppel certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, or such other form as may be reasonably requested by any ground lessor, purchaser or lender. Any such statement may be relied upon by any ground lessor or prospective purchaser or mortgagee of all or any part of the Leased Premises. Tenant’s failure to deliver such statement within said twenty (20) day period shall be conclusive upon Tenant that this Lease is in full force and effect and unmodified, and that there are no uncured defaults in Landlord’s performance hereunder.

23. MISCELLANEOUS

23.1 Force Majeure.

In no event shall such delay constitute a termination of this Lease. The provisions of this Section shall not operate to excuse Tenant from the prompt payment of Base Rent and Additional Rent, after the commencement of the Term. Written notice of any such delays, other than temporary or emergency interruptions, shall be given to the other party as well as written notice of the cessation of the same.

23.2 Quiet Enjoyment. If Tenant shall pay the Rent and perform all its other obligations hereunder, Landlord covenants that Tenant shall, during the term hereof, enjoy quiet and peaceable possession of the Leased Premises.

23.3 Non-Waiver by Landlord. No obligation, term, covenant, condition, or agreement in this Lease (collectively, “Obligation”) shall be deemed waived by Landlord unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Landlord. No waiver of any Obligation by Landlord will imply or constitute the further waiver of that or any other Obligation. The failure of Landlord to (i) seek redress for the breach of, or default in, or (ii) insist upon the strict performance of any Obligation or of any of the rules and regulations set forth herein or hereinafter adopted by Landlord, shall not be deemed a waiver of any rights or remedies Landlord may have, and shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach of, or default in, such Obligation or such rules and regulations.

23.4 No Acceptance of Surrender. No act or thing done by Landlord or Landlord’s agents during the Term will be deemed an acceptance of a surrender of the Leased Premises, and no agreement to accept a surrender will be valid unless in writing, signed by Landlord. The delivery of Tenant’s keys to any employee or agent of Landlord will not constitute a termination of this Lease unless Landlord has entered into a written agreement to that effect.

23.5 No Waiver of Payment. No payment by Tenant, nor receipt by Landlord, of a lesser amount than the Rent or other charges stipulated in this Lease will be deemed to be anything other than a payment on account of the earliest Rent. No endorsement or statement on any check, or any letter accompanying any check or payment as Rent, will be deemed an accord and satisfaction. Landlord will accept the check for payment without prejudice to Landlord’s right to recover the balance of such Rent or to pursue any other remedy available to Landlord.

23.6 Brokers. Landlord and Tenant each represent and warrant to the other that no broker has been employed in carrying on any negotiations relating to this Lease. Further, in the event that the Term of this Lease is extended and Tenant engages a broker at or prior to the time of the

exercise of such extension by Tenant, Tenant shall be solely responsible for any leasing commission payable to such broker. Each party shall indemnify and hold harmless the other from any claim for brokerage or other commission arising from or out of its brokerage obligations described above or from any breach of the foregoing representation and warranty.

23.8 Governing Law. This Lease shall be construed, governed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without regard to the principles of the laws of conflicts thereof. SHOULD ANY DISPUTE ARISE HEREUNDER, THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND FURTHER CONSENT TO THE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF ANY ACTION TO BE IN THE COURT OF COMMON PLEAS OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA.

23.9 Severability. If any provisions of this Lease shall be held to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof shall in no way be affected or impaired and such remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

EXHIBIT C

CAPITAL ITEMS

Pavement and Catch Basins

Landlord acknowledges that certain paved areas surrounding the Leased Premises are in need of removal and complete replacement. Landlord previously provided Tenant with a sketch, attached hereto as Exhibit C-1, which depicts the different areas of parking lot and roadways which serve the Leased Premises. Landlord has determined that pavement areas “A” and “B” have severely deteriorated and are in need of removal and replacement. Area A extends from Nixon Road along the entire west side of the Building and connects to Area B, which includes all paved areas at the north side of the Building. In addition, the catch basins located on the Leased Premises have begun to collapse and, therefore, are in need of inspection and repair. Landlord represents that only superficial repairs (e.g., crack filling and patching) have been made to the aforesaid pavement areas and catch basins since 2000. As per this Lease, Landlord assumes the entire cost of the removal and replacement of pavement areas depicted on Exhibit C-1 as well as the catch basins and acknowledges and agrees that; (1) Tenant shall only be responsible for making superficial repairs of the nature previously performed by Landlord to both the pavement and catch basins during the Term; (2) that it will accept the condition of the pavement and catch basins “as-is” at the expiration or termination of this Lease; and (3) should the replacement of the pavement areas and catch basins become necessary during the Term, Landlord shall have the option but not the obligation to cause the same to be completed.

Overhead Roll-up Door

Landlord acknowledges that an 8’ x 10’ overhead roll-up door located at the northeast corner of the Building has failed and that it is in need of replacement. Under the terms of the Original Lease, Landlord agreed to contribute fifty percent (50%) of the cost to replace exterior, steel doors throughout the Building that had deteriorated. Notwithstanding Tenant’s maintenance obligations set forth in this Lease, Landlord shall contribute fifty percent (50%) of the cost to replace, in kind, the 8’ x 10’ roll-up door.

Structural Defects

Landlord acknowledges that the Building contains certain unremedied structural defects which are described in that certain structural engineering report issued to Tenant by L.D. Astorino Companies dated March 29, 2001 (the “Report”), a copy of which Landlord acknowledges having received from Tenant. Specifically, the defects that have been identified are as follows:

Roof Joist Bearing on Masonry Walls

In 1995, Tenant reported to Landlord that masonry block units on the exterior masonry walls cracked and fell into the interior of the Building. Corrective action was taken by Landlord to remedy the situation in which roof joist bearing plates spanned across control/expansion joints. However, the Report recommended that all joist bearing locations be inspected to ensure that cells of all bearing blocks (3 courses) are grouted solid and that all bearing blocks are free from cracks and rotation. Landlord acknowledges that such an inspection has not taken place as of the date of execution of this Lease. At Landlord’s option, Landlord will cause an inspection to occur within six (6) months of such date. To the extent that such inspection indicates that corrective actions are necessary, Landlord shall be responsible for such corrective actions.

Wall Cracked at Northwest Corner of High Bay

Landlord acknowledges that significant cracking has occurred in the masonry wall and foundation pier at the northwest corner of the Building. The Report assumed that the cracks have occurred due to differential settlement of the foundation. The structural engineer recommended that the cracks in the masonry wall be filled and that a “telltale” device be installed to determine whether settlement is still active. Landlord acknowledges that the Tenant previously communicated this recommendation but Landlord has elected not to follow such recommendation as of the date of this Lease.

Water/Moisture Migration in Single Wythe Masonry Walls

Landlord acknowledges that concrete masonry walls are not impervious to water and that the masonry block used in the Building has been found and is known to be porous and that the Report recommended, at a minimum, to apply a masonry water repellant/stain to the masonry walls of the Building to prevent moisture from migrating into the block and wicking into the interior face. Landlord further acknowledges that Tenant has observed moisture on the interior of the block and that signs of efflorescence/moisture migration exist along the below-grade portions of masonry walls. Landlord further acknowledges that this condition may cause paint to fail and that it may facilitate Mold growth and/or Mold Conditions. In addition, Landlord acknowledges that all control/expansion joints along the entire perimeter of the Building need to be re-caulked.

HVAC Capital Items

Landlord acknowledges that there are two (2) remaining HVAC units that have not been replaced in accordance with the terms of the Original Lease. As such, these units are the property of the Landlord and they shall be replaced by the Landlord, at its sole cost and expense when they reach the end of their useful lives. Tenant shall continue to maintain/repair these units but Landlord shall replace the units if the cost to maintain/repair either unit exceeds Four Thousand Dollars and No Cents ($4,000.00). The two (2) units serve the second floor of the Building and their respective unit numbers, model numbers, and serial numbers are as follows:


Unit ID #	Manufacturer	Model Number	Serial Number
Unit #8	American Standard	ych120ayk0aa	g17143054d
Unit#10	American Standard	ych120ayk0aa	f17143060d

In accordance with the terms and conditions of this Lease, Landlord acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for the repair and remediation of the items described on this Exhibit C together with any and all un-matured and latent defects related thereto and further acknowledges that Tenant shall have no liability whatsoever with respect thereto.
