occupancy has not been procured, or for any other reason, the Landlord shall not

and all sums which may become due by reason of the failure of Tenant to comply
with all of the covenants of this Lease and any and all damages, costs and
expenses, including attorney's fees, which the Landlord may suffer or incur by
reason of such default, and also any and all damages to the Demised Premises
caused by any act or neglect of the Tenant.

  (b)  Taxes, Assessments, Etc.  Tenant will duly promptly pay as additional
       ------------------------                                            
rent to Landlord, as the same shall become due and payable and before they
become delinquent, all taxes, rates, assessments and other governmental charges,
and charges of every kind and nature whatsoever, nonrecurring as well as
recurring, special or extraordinary as well as ordinary, foreseen and
unforeseen, and each and every installment thereof, which shall or may during
the term of the Lease be levied, assessed or imposed, or become due and payable
or become liens upon, or arise in connection with the use, occupancy or
possession of, or any interest in, the Demised Premises, or upon the rents,
issues, income and profits therefrom so as to prevent the same from becoming or
being an enforceable lien or claim against the property or the interest of
Landlord ("Expenses").  Landlord shall apply such payment by Tenant to the
payment of such Expenses, but in no event shall Landlord be required to pay such
Expenses early or during discount periods.  Such Expenses shall include all real
estate taxes, assessments, water and sewer charges which may become liens upon
the Demised Premises or any part thereof.  If Landlord requests Tenant to pay
such Expenses other than to Landlord, Tenant will furnish or cause to be
furnished to Landlord not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which
payment of the same would become delinquent, or subject to penalty or interest,
receipts or other evidence satisfactory to Landlord of the payment of all such
Expenses.  If Landlord requests in writing, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, or as
Landlord may direct, such Expenses in advance in installments as estimated and
determined by Landlord, and deposited with Landlord, or as directed by Landlord,
for payment of all such Expenses when the same may become due and payable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant shall not be responsible for gross

                                       3
<PAGE>

receipts or other income taxes incurred by Landlord on the rents received
hereunder unless it is imposed in lieu of another charge for which Tenant is
responsible hereunder.

  If the Tenant deems excessive or illegal any such Expenses, with the written
consent of the Landlord, the Tenant may make payment under protest.  Any
contest, whether before or after payment, may be made in the name of the
Landlord or the Tenant or both, with the written consent of the Landlord.  If
requested by Tenant, Landlord may, but shall not be required to participate in
any such contest, but the Tenant shall be entitled to any refund of any such
Expenses, and any penalty or interest thereon which may have been paid by the
Tenant, but all costs in connection with such contest shall be borne by the
Tenant.

  In case of failure of the Tenant to make any of the payments to be made by
Tenant for such Expenses, the Landlord may, but shall not be required to, pay
the amount of same, with penalty and interest thereon, if any.  The amount so
paid by the Landlord, with interest thereon from the date of payment thereof by
the Landlord, shall be added to and become a part of the next installment of
rent.

  If at any time during the term of this Lease the methods of taxation
prevailing at the commencement of the term hereof shall be altered so that in

assessment, levy, imposition or charge, wholly or partially as a capital levy or
otherwise, on the rents received therefrom or (2) a tax, assessment, levy
(including but not limited to any municipal, state or federal levy), imposition
or charge measured by or based in whole or in part upon the premises and imposed
upon the Landlord, or (3) a license fee measured by the rent payable under this
Lease, then all such taxes, assessments, levies or impositions and charges, or
the part thereof so measured or based shall be deemed to be included in the
general real estate taxes and assessments payable by the Tenant pursuant hereto
to the extent that such taxes, assessments, levies, impositions and charges
would be payable if the premises were the only property of the Landlord subject
thereto, and the Tenant shall pay and discharge the same as herein provided in
respect of the payment of general real estate taxes and assessments.

  (c)  Insurance.  Landlord shall keep all buildings and improvements now or
       ---------

against loss by fire and other casualties and hazards usually covered by
extended coverage insurance in an amount not less than the replacement value of
the Demised Premises (excluding foundations and other parts below the surface of

rating bureau satisfactory to Landlord.  Tenant agrees that it will, throughout
the Demised Term, pay and discharge as additional rent, the cost incurred by
Landlord in insuring the Demised Premises as above stated.  Insurance premiums
at the beginning and end of the term shall be apportioned. It is expressly
understood and agreed that if for any reason attributable to Tenant it shall be
impossible to obtain Fire insurance on the building and improvements on the
Demised Premises in an amount and in the form and with fire insurance companies
acceptable to the Landlord, the Landlord may, if the Landlord elects, (a)
terminate this Lease and the term thereof on giving to the Tenant fifteen (15)
days' notice in writing of Landlord's intention so to do and upon the giving of
such notice this lease and the terms thereof, shall terminate and come to an

policy shall be furnished to Landlord and Landlord's first mortgagee.

  (2)  Tenant at its own cost and expense will provide and keep in force during
the Demised Term of this Lease commercial general liability insurance covering

insured, in such other limits of liability as may be required by Landlord from
time to time, but not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) combined

areas, sidewalks and curbs adjacent thereto.

  (3)  All such policies shall contain provision for notice to the said Landlord
not less than ten (10) days in advance of any cancellation or material change of
such policy.  In case of failure of the Tenant to make premium payments when
due, the Landlord may pay the amount of any such premiums, which amount with
interest thereon from the date of payment by Landlord shall be added to and
become part of the next installment of rent.

  (4)  Copies of renewal policies or certificates for any insurance required
under this Paragraph shall be deposited by Tenant with Landlord at least ten
(10) days prior to the expiration of existing policies, and upon failure so to
do Landlord may immediately purchase, for the account of Tenant, the necessary
insurance from any reputable insurance company without notice to Tenant, and
Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for cost thereof within ten (10) days after
demand.

  (5)  All insurance required hereunder shall be issued by companies licensed to

the right to do the following things and matters in and about the Demised
Premises:

  (a)  Inspection.  At all reasonable times by himself or his duly authorized
       ----------

  (d)  Discontinuance of Facilities and Services.  The Landlord may discontinue

all facilities furnished and services rendered, or any of them by Landlord, not
expressly covenanted for herein, it being understood that they constitute no
part of the consideration for this Lease.

  12.  Responsibility of Tenant.  Landlord shall not in any event be
       ------------------------                                    
responsible, and the Tenant hereby specifically assumes responsibility for any
personal or bodily injury or death of any persons (including employees of Tenant
and Landlord) and damage, destruction, or loss of use of any property, including
the Demised Premises (except as specifically provided otherwise herein)
occasioned by any event happening on or about the Demised Premises, hallways,
entranceways, stairs or any other common areas (exterior or interior),
elevators, hoists, streets, driveways, parking and loading areas, alleys, lawns,
sidewalks and curbs adjacent thereto including those resulting from any work in
connection with any alterations, changes, new construction or demolition, except
if same results solely from the negligence of Landlord, its agents, servants, or
employees.  Tenant is subrogated to any rights of Landlord against any other
parties in connection therewith.  Tenant shall defend, indemnify and hold
harmless Landlord from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, damages,
liability and costs (including counsel fees and expenses) arising out of or in
any manner connected with any act or omission, negligent or otherwise of Tenant,
third persons, or any of their agents, servants or employees which arise out of
or are in any way connected with the erection, maintenance, use, operation,
existence or occupation of the Demised Premises, hallways, entranceways, stairs
or any other common areas (exterior or interior), elevators, hoists, streets,
driveways, parking and loading areas, alleys, lawns, sidewalks and curbs
adjacent thereto unless due solely to the negligence of Landlord, its agents,
servants or employees.

  The Landlord shall promptly notify the Tenant of any claim asserted against
the Landlord on account of any such injury or claimed injury to persons or
property and shall promptly deliver to the Tenant the original or a true copy of
any summons or other process, pleading or notice issued in any suit or other
proceeding to assert or enforce any such claim.  The Tenant shall have the right
to defend any such suit with attorneys of its own selection and the Landlord
shall have the right, if it sees fit, to participate in such defense.

  Tenant further shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Landlord from claims,
demands, suits, liability for damages for personal or bodily injury or death of
any persons or damage or destruction of any property (including loss of use
thereof) caused by or in any manner arising out of any breach, violation or
nonperformance by Tenant of any covenant, term or provision of this Lease.

  13.  Damage to Demised Premises.
       --------------------------

  (a)  In the event that the Demised Premises is totally destroyed or so damaged
by fire or other casualty not occurring through fault or negligence of the
Tenant or those employed by or acting for

                                       10
<PAGE>

him, that, in Landlord's judgment, the same cannot be repaired or restored
within one hundred eighty (180) days, this Lease shall absolutely cease and
determine, and the rent shall abate as of the date of casualty for the balance
of the term.

  (b)  If the damage caused as above be only partial and such that the Demised
Premises, in Landlord's judgment, can be restored within one hundred eighty
(180) days, the Landlord may, at its option, restore the same, excluding
fixtures and improvements owned by Tenant, with reasonable promptness, reserving
the right to enter upon the Demised Premises for that purpose.  The Landlord
also reserves the right to enter upon the Demised Premises whenever necessary to
repair damage caused by fire or other casualty to the building of which the
Demised Premises is a part, even though the effect of such entry be to render
the Demised Premises or a part thereof untenantable.  In either event the rent
shall be apportioned and suspended during the time the Landlord is in
possession, taking into account the portion of the Demised Premises rendered
untenantable and the duration of the Landlord's possession.  If a dispute arises
as to the amount of rent due under this clause, Tenant agrees to pay the full
amount claimed by Landlord.  Tenant shall, however, have the right to proceed by
law to recover the excess payment, if any.

  (c)  In the event that Landlord does not notify Tenant that in the Landlord's
judgement, the damage cannot be repaired within 180 days, or in the event that
Landlord fails to notify Tenant if Landlord exercises its election to repair the
damage within 180 days, then Tenant shall have the right to give notice to
Landlord, after the expiration of 30 days from the date of damage, that unless
Landlord advises Tenant within 10 days after receipt of such notice that
Landlord intends to complete the repair of the damage to the Demised Premises
within 180 days from the date of the damage, it shall be deemed conclusive that
Landlord has elected not to complete said repairs, and the Tenant may elect to
terminate the Lease, commencing the 11th day after such notice, at any time
prior to the receipt of notice from Landlord of its election to repair the
damage to the Demised Premises.

(d)  Notwithstanding the fact that Landlord may have given notice of election to
repair the Demised Premises within said thirty (30) day period, if the mortgagee
chooses to accelerate the mortgage due to damage by fire or other casualty to
the Demised Premises or the building of which the Demised Premises is a part,
Landlord shall have the right to rescind and/or cancel said election to repair
and shall have the right to elect not to repair the damaged to the Demised
Premises or the building of which the Demised Premises is a part, provided said
notification of election not to repair is given to Tenant within thirty (30)
days after date of the receipt of said notice of acceleration.

  (e)  Landlord shall not be liable for any damage, compensation or claim by
reason of inconvenience or annoyance arising from the necessity of repairing any
portion of the building, the interruption in the use of the Demised Premises, or
the termination of this Lease by reason of the destruction of the Demised
Premises.

  14.  Miscellaneous Agreements and Conditions.
       ---------------------------------------

  (a)  Non-Waiver by Landlord or Tenant.  The failure of the Landlord or Tenant
       --------------------------------                                       
to insist

                                       11
<PAGE>

upon strict performance of any of the covenants or conditions to this Lease, or
to exercise any option herein conferred in any one or more instances, shall not
be construed as a waiver or relinquishment for the future of any such covenants
or conditions of this Lease or option, but the same shall be and remain in full
force and effect.

  (b)  Accord and Satisfaction.  No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of
       -----------------------                                                
a lesser amount than the monthly rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be
other than on account of the earliest stipulated rent, nor shall any endorsement
or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment as
rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept such check or
payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such
rent or pursue any other remedy herein.

  (c)  Jurisdiction and Law.  Tenant hereby subjects itself to the jurisdiction
       ---------------------

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania shall be applicable to this lease and any
interpretations thereof.

  (d)  The Landlord has let the Demised Premises in its present condition and
without any representations on the part of Landlord, his officers, employees,
servants and/or agents.

  (e)  In the event that it is determined at any time during the Demised Term of
this Lease and any renewal period that the Tenant's proposed use of the Demised
Premises as set forth in Paragraph 1 is not permissible under the local Zoning
Ordinance or Regulations, then Tenant shall have the privilege of terminating
this Lease on the last day of any month thereafter, provided that at least sixty
(60) days prior to the termination date notice is given to Landlord in writing
and such privilege shall be Tenant's sole remedy against Landlord in such event.

  15.  Remedies of Landlord.  If the Tenant:
       --------------------                

  (a)  Does not pay within five (5) days after it is due any and all
installments of rent and/or any other charge or payment herein reserved,
included, or agreed to be treated or collected as rent and/or any other charge,
expense, or cost herein agreed to be paid by the Tenant; or

  (b)  Violates or fails to perform or otherwise breaks any non-monetary
covenant or agreement herein contained which is not corrected in compliance
within twenty (20) days after the notice; or

  (c)  Vacates the Demised Premises or removes or attempts to remove or
manifests an intention to remove any goods or property therefrom otherwise than
in the ordinary and usual course of business without having first paid and
satisfied the Landlord in full for all rent and other charges then due; or

  (d)  Files or has filed against it (and if against not dismissed in thirty
(30) days) a petition under Title 11, United States Code, Bankruptcy, as now or
hereafter amended or supplemented, whether

                                       12
<PAGE>

under Chapter 7, 11 or 13 of the aforesaid Bankruptcy Code; or if there is the
commencement of any action or proceeding under state or federal law for the
dissolution or liquidation of the Tenant in connection with bankruptcy or other
insolvency, whether instituted by or against (and if against not dismissed in
thirty (30) days) the Tenant or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee of
all or substantially all of the property of the Tenant; or if there is the
taking of possession of the property of the Tenant by any governmental officer
or agency pursuant to statutory authority for the dissolution, rehabilitation,
reorganization or liquidation of the Tenant; or if there is the making by the
Tenant of an assignment for the benefit of creditors;

  Then and in any of said events, there shall be deemed to be a breach of this
Lease, and thereupon Landlord shall have the following rights:

  (1)  To accelerate the whole or any part of the Basic Rent and additional rent
(sometimes collectively referred to herein as "Rent") and other charges,
payments, costs and expenses herein agreed to be paid by Tenant for the entire
unexpired balance of the term of this Lease, and any Rent, other charges,
payments, costs and expenses if so accelerated shall, in addition to any and all
installments of Rent already due and payable and in arrears, and/or any other
charge, expense or cost herein agreed to be paid by Tenant which may be due and
payable and in arrears, be deemed due and payable as if, by the terms and
provisions of this Lease, such accelerated Rent and other charges, payments,
costs and expenses were on that date payable in advance.

  (2)  To enter the Demised Premises and without further demand or notice
proceed to distrain and sell the goods and personal property there found, to
levy the Rent and Tenant shall pay all costs and officers' commissions,
including watchmen's wages and sums chargeable to Landlord, and further
including the five percent (5%) chargeable by the Act of Assembly as commissions
to the constable or other person making the levy, and in such case all costs,
officers' commissions and other charges shall immediately attach and become part
of the claim of Landlord for Rent, and any tender of rent without said costs,
commissions and charges made, after the issuance of a warrant of distress, shall
not be sufficient to satisfy the claim of Landlord.  Tenant specifically waives
any requirement of notice before distraint.

  (3)  To re-enter the Demised Premises and remove all persons and all or any
property therefrom, either by summary dispossess proceedings or by any suitable
action or proceeding at law, or by force or otherwise, without being liable to
indictment, prosecution or damages therefor, and repossess and enjoy the Demised
Premises, together with all alterations, fixtures, signs and other installations
of Tenant.  Upon recovering possession of the Demised Premises by reason of or
based upon or arising out of a default on the part of Tenant, Landlord may, at
Landlord's option, either terminate this Lease or make such alterations and
repairs as may be necessary in order to relet the Demised Premises and relet the
Demised 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
of this Lease 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: first, to the
payment of any indebtedness other than rent due hereunder from

                                       13
<PAGE>

Tenant to Landlord; second, to the payment of any costs and expenses of such
reletting, including brokerage fees and attorney's fees and all costs of such
alterations and repairs; third, to the payment of Rent 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 such rentals received
from such reletting during any month shall be less than that to be paid during
that month by Tenant hereunder, 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 Demised Premises or the making of alterations and/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 such
intention be given to Tenant. Landlord shall in no event be liable in any way
whatsoever for failure to relet the Demised Premises or, in the event that the
Demised Premises or any part or parts thereof are relet, for failure to collect
the rent thereof under such reletting. Tenant, for Tenant and Tenant's
successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Landlord as
Tenant's and Landlord's agent to collect the rents due and to become due under
all subleases of the Demised Premises or any parts thereof without in any way
affecting Tenant's obligation to pay any unpaid balance of Rent due or to become
due hereunder. Notwithstanding any such reletting without termination, Landlord
may at any time thereafter elect to terminate this Lease for such previous
breach.

  (4)  To terminate this Lease and the term hereby created without any right on
the part of Tenant to waive the forfeiture by payment of any sum due or by other
performance of any condition, term or covenant broken.  Whereupon Landlord shall
be entitled to recover, in addition to any and all sums and damages for
violation of Tenant's obligations hereunder in existence at the time of such
termination, damages for Tenant's default in an amount equal to the greater of
(i) amount of the Rent reserved for the balance of the Demised Term, as well as
all other charges, payments, costs and expenses herein agreed to be paid by
Tenant, all discounted at the rate of nine percent (9%) per annum to their then
present worth, less the fair rental value of the Demised Premises for the
remainder of said term, also discounted at the rate of nine percent (9%) per
annum to its then present worth or (ii) three (3) months' rent, all of which
amount shall be immediately due and payable from Tenant to Landlord as
liquidated damages.

  (5)  If Tenant shall default in the payment of the Rent reserved or in the
payment of any other sums due hereunder by Tenant, Tenant hereby authorizes and
empowers any Prothonotary or attorney of any court of record to appear for
Tenant in any and all actions which may be brought for said Rent and/or said
other sums and to confess judgement against Tenant for all or any part of said
Rent and/or said other sums, including but not limited to the amounts due from
Tenant to Landlord under subsections (1), (2), (3) and/or (4) of this section;
and for interest and costs, together with an attorney's commission for
collection of ten percent (10%).  The right to institute an action pursuant to
Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure and the authority to confess judgement
granted herein shall not be exhausted by one or more exercises thereof, so long
as each exercise refers or relates to separate sums, and successive complaints
may be filed and successive judgements may be entered from time to time for
separate sums as aforedescribed, as or after they become due, as well as after
the expiration of the original term and/or during or after expiration of any
extension or renewal of this Lease.

  (6)  When this Lease and the term or any extension or renewal thereof shall
have been terminated on account of any default by Tenant hereunder, and also
when the term hereby created

                                       14
<PAGE>

or any extension or renewal thereof shall have expired, it shall be lawful for
any attorney of any court of record to appear as attorney for Tenant as well as
for all persons claiming by, through or under Tenant, and to sign an agreement
for entering in any competent court a confession of judgement in ejectment
against Tenant and all persons claiming by, through or under Tenant and therein
confess judgement for the recovery by Landlord of possession of the Demised
Premises, for which this Lease shall be his sufficient warrant; thereupon, if
Landlord so desires, an appropriate writ of possession may issue forthwith,
without any prior writ or proceeding whatsoever, and provided that if for any
reason after such action shall have been commenced it shall be terminated and
possession of the Demised Premises remain in or be restored to Tenant, Landlord
shall have the right for the same default and upon any subsequent default or
defaults, or upon the termination of this Lease or Tenant's right of possession
as hereinbefore set forth, to bring one or more further confession of judgement
actions as hereinbefore set forth to recover possession of the Demised Premises.

  (7)  In any confession of judgement of ejectment and/or for rent and/or other
sums brought hereon, Landlord shall first cause to be filed in such action an
affidavit made by Landlord or someone acting for Landlord, setting forth the
facts necessary to authorize the entry of judgement of which facts such
affidavit shall be prima facie evidence, and if a true copy of this Lease (and
of the truth of the copy such affidavit shall be sufficient evidence) shall be
filed in such suit, action or actions, it shall not be necessary to file the
original as a warrant of attorney, any rule of Court, custom or practice to the
contrary notwithstanding.

  16.  Right of Injunctive Relief.  In the event of a breach or threatened
       --------------------------                                        
breach by Tenant of any of the covenants or provisions hereof, Landlord shall
have the right of injunction and the right to invoke any remedy allowed at law
or in equity as if re-entry, summary proceedings and other remedies were not
herein provided for.

  17.  Rights Not Exclusive.  No right or remedy herein conferred upon or
       --------------------                                             
reserved to Landlord is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy
herein or by law provided but each shall be cumulative and in addition to every
other right or remedy given herein or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or by statute.

  18.  Waivers by Tenant.  Tenant expressly waives:
       -----------------                          

  (a)  The benefit of all laws, now or hereafter in force, exempting any goods
on the Demised Premises or elsewhere from distraint, levy or sale in any legal
proceedings taken by Landlord to enforce any rights under this Lease.

  (b)  The right to ten (10) days and/or fifteen (15) or thirty (30) days'
notice required under certain circumstances by The Landlord and Tenant Act of
1951, as amended in 1995, Tenant hereby agreeing that seven (7) days' notice
shall be sufficient in either or any such case.

  19.  Calculations of Amounts Due.  For the purpose of calculating the
       ---------------------------                                    
accelerated Rent payable under paragraph (1) of Paragraph 15 (d) of this Article
and the "Rent reserved for the balance of the term"

                                       15
<PAGE>

of this Lease for the purposes of Paragraph (4) of Paragraph 15 (d) of this
Article, the amount payable as Tenant's share of real estate taxes, Tenant's
share of the cost of insurance on the Demised Premises and Tenant's share of
common area maintenance expenses and any other charges for which Tenant is
responsible hereunder for the balance of the term hereof shall be equal to the
sum of the highest amount paid or payable by Tenant in any calendar year for
each of the foregoing items multiplied by the number of calendar years
(including any fractional calendar year) remaining in the term of this Lease.

  20.  Right of Assignee of Landlord.  The right to pursue the remedies herein
       -----------------------------                                         
provided against Tenant and to enforce all of the other provisions of this Lease
may, at the option of any assignee of this Lease, be exercised by any assignee
of the Landlord's right, title and interest in this Lease in his, her or their
own name, any statute, rule of court, custom, or practice to the contrary
notwithstanding.

  21.  Remedies Cumulative.  All of the remedies hereinbefore given to Landlord
       -------------------                                                    
and all rights and remedies given to it by law and equity shall be cumulative
and concurrent.  No termination of this Lease or the taking or recovering of the
Demised Premises shall deprive Landlord of any of its remedies or actions
against Tenant for rent or sums due at the time or which, under the terms
hereof, would in the future become due as if there has been no termination; nor
shall the bringing of any action for rent or breach of covenant, or the resort
to any other remedy herein provided for the recovery of rent be construed as a
waiver of the right to obtain possession of the premises.

  22.  Condemnation.  If at any time during the Demised Term or any renewal or
       ------------                                                          
extension thereof the Demised Premises, or any portion thereof, be lawfully
condemned or conveyed in lieu of condemnation, the Landlord shall be entitled
to, and shall receive the award or payment therefor, and the Tenant shall
assign, and does hereby assign and transfer to the Landlord such award or
payment as may be made therefor.  Tenant, however, shall be entitled to make a
claim for damages payable specifically and solely to a business Tenant under the
terms of the Eminent Domain Code of Pennsylvania, Act of June 22, 1964, P.L. 84,
as now or hereafter amended, provided that any award to Tenant shall not in any
way diminish the Landlord's award.  This Lease shall, as to the part so taken
terminate as of the date title shall vest in the condemnor, and rent shall abate
in proportion to the square feet of the leased space taken or condemned.  In the
event, however, that more than thirty percent (30%) of the Demised Premises
(exclusive of Common Areas) is taken,  Tenant shall have the option of
terminating this Lease upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Landlord.

  23.  Execution of Estoppel Certificate.  At any time, and from time to time,
       ---------------------------------                                     
upon the written request of Landlord or any first mortgagee, Tenant within
twenty (20) days of the date of such written request agrees to execute and
deliver to Landlord and/or such first mortgagee, without charge and in a form
satisfactory to Landlord and/or such mortgagee, a written statement: (a)
ratifying this Lease; (b) confirming the commencement and expiration date of the
term of this Lease and the minimum annual rental rate payable during the lease
term; (c) certifying that Tenant is in occupancy of the Demised Premises, and
that the Lease is in full force and effect and has not been modified, assigned,
supplemented or amended except by such writings as shall be stated; (d)
certifying that all conditions and agreements under this Lease to be satisfied
or performed by Landlord have been satisfied and performed except as shall be
stated; (e) certifying that Landlord is not in default under the Lease and there
are no defenses or offsets

                                       16
<PAGE>

against the enforcement of this Lease by Landlord or stating the defaults and/or
defenses claimed by Tenant; (f) reciting the amount of advance rent, if any,
paid by Tenant and the date to which such rent has been paid and, if requested
by Landlord and/or Mortgagee, agreeing that Tenant shall not pay rent to
Landlord more than thirty days in advance; (g) reciting the amount of security
deposited with Landlord, if any; (h) certifying that Tenant has no option or
right of first refusal to purchase the Demised Premises or option to extend the
term of the Lease (unless specifically set forth to the contrary in the Lease);
(i) if requested by Landlord and/or Mortgagee, agreeing that the Lease will not
be modified without the prior written consent of the Mortgagee; (j) certifying
that tenant will not generate, store, handle or otherwise deal with any amount
of any hazardous substances or hazardous waste (as defined in federal, state and
local law) in or about the Demised Premises, in excess of those levels or
quantities specified for regulatory purposes; (k) agreeing, if requested by
Mortgagee, that Tenant will give Mortgagee such notice of any default by
Landlord and reasonable opportunity to cure such default, not in excess of
thirty (30) days, unless the default cannot be cured within said time, before
exercising Tenant's remedies under the Lease; and (l) any other information
which Landlord or the mortgagee shall require.

  24.  Failure to Execute Estoppel Certificate.  The failure of Tenant to
       ---------------------------------------                          
execute, acknowledge and deliver to Landlord and/or any first mortgagee a
statement in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 23 above within the
said twenty (20) day period shall constitute acknowledgement by Tenant which may
be relied upon by any person holding or intending to acquire any interest
whatsoever in the Demised Premises that this Lease has not been assigned,
amended, changed, or modified, is in full force and effect and that the Basic
Rent and additional rent have been duly and fully paid not beyond the respective
due dates immediately preceding the date of the request for such statement and
shall constitute as to any persons entitled to rely on such statements a waiver
of any defaults by Landlord or defenses or offsets against the enforcement of
this Lease by Landlord which may exist prior to the date of the written request,
and Landlord at its option, may treat such failure as a deliberate event of
default.

  25.  Subordination and Attornment.  Tenant agrees:
       ----------------------------                

  (a)  that, except as hereinafter provided, this Lease is, and all of Tenant's
rights hereunder are and shall always be, subject and subordinate to any first
mortgage ("First Mortgage"); and

  (b)  That if the holder of any such First Mortgage ("Mortgagee") or if the
purchaser at any foreclosure sale or at any sale under a power of sale contained
in any Mortgage shall at its sole option so request, Tenant will attorn to, and
recognize such mortgagee or purchaser, as the case may be as Landlord under this
Lease for the balance then remaining of the term of this Lease, subject to all
terms of this Lease; and

  (c)  That the aforesaid provisions shall be self-operative and no further
instrument or document shall be necessary unless required by any such First
Mortgagee or purchaser.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
above, any First Mortgagee may at any time subordinate its Mortgage to this
Lease, without Tenant's consent, by notice in writing to Tenant, and thereupon
this Lease shall be deemed prior to such Mortgage without regard to their
respective dates of execution, delivery and/or recording and in that event such
First Mortgagee shall have the same rights with respect to this Lease as

                                       17
<PAGE>

though this Lease had been executed and a memorandum thereof recorded prior to
the execution, delivery and recording of the Mortgage and as though this Lease
had been assigned to such First Mortgagee. Should Landlord or any First
Mortgagee or purchaser desire confirmation of either such subordination or such
attornment, as the case may be, Tenant upon written request, and from time to
time, will execute and deliver without charge and in form satisfactory to
Landlord, the First Mortgagee or the purchaser all instruments and/or documents
that may be requested to acknowledge such subordination and/or agreement to
attorn, in recordable form.

  26.  Failure to Execute Instruments and Documents.  In the event Tenant fails
       --------------------------------------------                           
to execute and deliver the instruments and documents as provided for in
Paragraphs 23 and 26 within twenty (20) days after request in writing by
Landlord or such First Mortgagee or purchaser, as the case may be, Tenant does
hereby make, constitute and appoint Landlord or such First Mortgagee or
purchaser, as the case may be, as Tenant's attorney-in-fact and in its name,
place and stead to do so, or Landlord may treat such failure as a deliberate
event of default.  The aforesaid power of attorney is given as coupled with an
interest and is irrevocable.

  27.  Quiet Enjoyment; Eviction by Foreclosure.  Tenant, on paying the rent
       ----------------------------------------                            
reserved, and performing all the covenants and conditions hereof, shall at all
times during the Demised Term, peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the
Demised Premises; provided, however, eviction of the Tenant by reason of the
foreclosure of any First Mortgage now or hereafter on the Demised Premises shall
not be construed as a breach of this covenant, nor shall any action by reason
thereof be brought against the Landlord; and provided further, that no eviction
of the Tenant for any reason whatsoever, after the Landlord shall have conveyed
the fee of the Demised Premises shall be construed as a breach of this covenant,
and no action therefor shall be brought against the Landlord.

  28.  Termination of Lease.  It is hereby mutually agreed that either party
       ---------------------                                               
hereto may terminate this Lease at the end of the Demised Term by giving to the
other party written notice thereof at least 180 days prior thereto, but in
default of such notice, this Lease shall continue upon the same terms and
conditions in force immediately prior to the expiration of the Demised Term
hereof as are herein contained except for Basic Rent which shall be adjusted to
reflect the then current market rates for space comparable to the Demised
Premises as determined by Landlord based upon other of Landlord's rental
properties,  for a further period of one year and so on from year to year unless
or until termination by either party hereto, giving the other 180 days written
notice for removal previous to expiration of the then current term; PROVIDED,
however, that should this Lease be continued for a further period under the
terms herein-above mentioned, any allowances given Tenant on the Basic Rent
during the original term shall not extend beyond such original term.  In the
event that Tenant shall give notice, as stipulated in this Lease, of intention
to vacate the Demised Premises at the end of the Demised Term, or any renewal or
extension thereof, and shall fail or refuse so to vacate the same on the date
designated by such notice, then it is expressly agreed that Landlord shall have
the option either:

  (a)  To disregard the notice so given as having no effect, in which case all
the terms and conditions of this Lease shall continue thereafter, as set forth
above, with full force precisely as if such notice has not been given, or

                                       18
<PAGE>

  (b)  Landlord may, at any time within thirty days after the Demised Term or
any renewal or extension thereof, as aforesaid, give the said Tenant ten days'
written notice of his intention to terminate the said Lease; whereupon the
Tenant expressly agrees to vacate said premises at the expiration of the said
ten day period.

  All powers granted to Landlord by this lease may be exercised and all
obligations imposed upon Tenant by this Lease shall be performed by Tenant as
well during any extension of the Demised Term of this Lease as during the
Demised Term itself.

  29.  Notices.  All notices required shall be in writing given by certified
       -------

  30.  Mechanic's Liens.
       ----------------

  (a)  Mechanic's Liens Prohibited.  Tenant shall not suffer any mechanic's lien
       ---------------------------                                             
to be filed against the Demised Premises by reason of work, labor, services or
materials performed or furnished to Tenant or anyone holding the Demised
Premises, or any part hereof, through or under Tenant.  If any mechanic's lien
or any notice of intention to file a mechanic's lien shall at any time be filed
against the Demised Premises Tenant shall at Tenant's cost, within fourteen (14)
days after knowledge or notice of the filing of any mechanic's lien cause the
same to be removed or discharged of record by payment, bond, order of a court of
competent jurisdiction, or otherwise.

  (b)  Landlord's Remedy for Tenant's Breach.  If Tenant shall fail to remove or

discharge any mechanic's lien or any notice of intention to file a mechanic's
lien within the prescribed time, then in addition to any other right or remedy
of Landlord, Landlord may, at its option, procure the removal or discharge of
the same by payment or bond or otherwise.  Any amount paid by Landlord for such
purpose,

                                       19
<PAGE>

together with all legal and other expenses of Landlord in procuring the
removal or discharge or such lien or notice of intention and together with
interest thereon at the highest permissible rate shall be and become due and
payable by Tenant to Landlord as additional rent, and in the event of Tenant's
failure to pay therefor within fifteen (15) days after demand, the same shall be
added to and be due and payable with the next month's rent.

  (c)  Non-Consent of Landlord to Filing of Liens.  Nothing contained in this
       ------------------------------------------                           
Lease shall be construed as a consent on the part of Landlord to subject
Landlord's estate in the Demised Premises to any lien or liability arising out
of Tenant's use or occupancy of the premises.

  31.  Lease Contains All Agreements.  It is expressly understood and agreed by
       -----------------------------                                          
and between the parties hereto that this Lease sets forth all the promises,
agreements, and conditions or understandings between Landlord or his Agent and
Tenant relative to the Demised Premises, and that there are no promises,
agreements, conditions or understandings, either oral or written, between them
other than are herein set forth.  It is further understood and agreed that,
except as herein otherwise provided, no subsequent alteration, amendment, change
or addition to this Lease shall be binding upon Landlord or Tenant unless
reduced to writing and signed by them.

  32.  Heirs and Assignees.  All rights and liabilities herein given to, or
       -------------------                                                
imposed upon, the respective parties hereto shall extend to and bind the several
and respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of said
parties; and if there shall be more than one Tenant, they shall all be bound
jointly and severally by the terms, covenants and agreements herein, and the
word "Tenant" shall be deemed and taken to mean each and every person or party
mentioned as a Tenant herein, be the same one or more; and if there shall be
more than one Tenant, any notice required or permitted by the terms of this
Lease may be given by or to any one thereof, and shall have the same force and
effect as if given by or to all thereof.  The words "his" and "him" or "its"
wherever stated herein, shall be deemed to refer to the "Landlord" or "Tenant"
whether such Landlord or Tenant be singular or plural and irrespective of
gender.  No rights, however, shall inure to the benefit of any assignee of
Tenant unless the assignment to such assignee has been approved by Landlord in
writing as aforesaid.

  33.  Security Deposit.  Tenant has deposited with Landlord at the signing of
       ----------------                                                      
this Lease, the sum of Nine Thousand Three Hundred Thirty-One and 98/100 Dollars
($9,331.98) representing three  (3) months' security for the faithful
performance and observance by Tenant of the terms, provisions and conditions of
this Lease.  Tenant shall not be entitled to interest on any such security
deposit.  It is agreed that in the event Tenant defaults in respect of any of
the terms, provisions and conditions of this Lease, including but not limited to
the payment of rent and additional rent, Landlord may use, apply or retain the
whole or any part of the security so deposited to the extent required for the
payment of any rent and additional rent or any other sum as to which Tenant is
in default or for any sum which Landlord may expend or may be required to expend
by reason of Tenant's default in respect of any of the terms, covenants and
conditions of this Lease, including but not limited to any damages or deficiency
accrued before or after summary proceedings or other re-entry by the Landlord.
In the event that Tenant shall fully and faithfully comply with all of the
terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Lease, the security shall be
returned to Tenant after the date fixed as the end of the Lease and after
delivery of entire possession of the Demised

                                       20
<PAGE>

Premises to the Landlord.

  In the event of a sale of the land and building or leasing of the building, of
which the Demised Premises form a part, Landlord shall have the right to
transfer the security to the vendee or lessee and Landlord shall thereupon be
released by Tenant from all liability for the return of such security; and it is
agreed that the provisions hereof shall apply to every transfer or assignment
made of the security to a new Landlord.

  Tenant further covenants that it will not assign or encumber or attempt to
assign or encumber the monies deposited herein as security and that neither
Landlord nor its successors or assigns shall be bound by any such agreement,
encumbrance, attempted assignment or attempted encumbrance.

for payment of any taxes, charges, premiums, rates, or assessments payable under
the terms of this Lease including, but not limited to those set forth in
Sections 7(b), (c), and (e) herein for the Demised Premises and common areas,
pro-rated based upon the ratio which the total number of leasable square feet of
floor space in the Demised Premises bears to the total number of square feet of
leasable floor space in the entire building as set forth below.

  Tenant's Pro Rata Share: 6.66% (determined by dividing the area of the Demised
Premises [4,666 rentable square feet] by the area of the building of which the
Demised Premises is a part [ 70,000 square feet]).

  36.  Late Payment.  In the event that any payment of Basic Rent or additional
       ------------                                                           
rent or any other charge required to be paid by Tenant under the provisions of
this Lease, shall not be paid within five (5) days of the due date, Tenant shall
pay to Landlord a late charge of five (5%) percent of such past due payment; and
such late charge shall be deemed "rent" for all purposes under this Lease.

  37.  Severability.  If a provision of this Lease Agreement is held invalid, it
       ------------

provision remain in effect.  If a provision in this Lease Agreement is held
invalid in one or more of its applications, the provision remains in effect in
all valid applications.

  38.  Landlord's Liability.  Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding,
       --------------------                                                  
Landlord's liability for any damages or assessments hereunder shall be limited
solely to Landlord's interest in the Demised Premises or land and building of
which the Demised Premises is part, as the case may be.  It is further
covenanted and agreed by the parties hereto that in no case shall the Landlord
be liable for any consequential damages.

such substances or materials in any manner not sanctioned by law or by the
highest standards prevailing in the industry for the storage and use of such
substances except to use in the ordinary course of Tenant's business, and then
only after written notice is given to Landlord of the identity of such

shall include those described in the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 9601 et
seq., any applicable state or local laws and the regulations adopted under these

the reasonable costs thereof shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord upon
demand as additional charges if such requirement applies to the Premises.  In
addition, Tenant shall execute affidavits, representations and the like from
time to time at Landlord's request concerning Tenant's best knowledge and belief
regarding the presence of hazardous substances or materials on the Premises.  In
all events, Tenant shall indemnify Landlord in the manner elsewhere provided in
this lease from any release of hazardous materials on the Premises occurring
while Tenant is in possession, or elsewhere if caused by Tenant or persons
acting under Tenant.  The within covenants shall survive the expiration or
earlier termination of the lease term.

  (b)  Tenant shall conduct all of its operations at the Premises in compliance
with all federal, state and local statutes (including, but not limited to the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, 42 U.S.C.

compliance with the other provisions of this section and after obtaining written
permission to do so from Landlord.

Landlord, Landlord's mortgage lender or a governmental agency shall require
testing by an environmental testing entity of its choice, to ascertain whether
there has been a release of Hazardous Materials by Tenant, its agents, servants,
employees or business invitees, in or around the Demised Premises, the
reasonable costs of such testing shall be reimbursed by Tenant to Landlord as
Additional Rent.  Tenant shall execute affidavits or representations, at
Landlord's request, stating that, to the best of Tenant's knowledge and belief,
since the time that Tenant took possession of the Demised Premises, there have
been no and there presently are no Hazardous Materials present in the Demised
Premises.

  (e)  Tenant hereby agrees to indemnify Landlord and to hold Landlord harmless
of, from and against any and all expense, loss, cost, fines, penalties, loss of
value or liability suffered by Landlord by reason of Tenant's breach of any of
the provisions of this section.
