accordance with the Project Plans, subject to such changes thereto as may be
made in accordance with the procedures for change orders set forth in Paragraph
2.10 below; provided, however, Owner further agrees that any changes in the
Project Plans which are intended to reduce the cost of construction but which
will not have an adverse effect on the appearance of the buildings or the value
or integrity of the Improvements shall not require Owner's approval but shall
only require notice to Owner.

         2.2. CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE. Developer has provided to Owner a
construction schedule (the "CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE"), which schedule shall
include a detailed schedule indicating the projected timing and sequence of all
matters relating to the development and construction of the Improvements, and

         2.3. OWNERSHIP OF IMPROVEMENT PLANS. All documents, plans, drawings and
specifications prepared by or at the request of Developer in connection with the
preparation of the Project Plans and the Construction Schedule, or otherwise in
connection with the preliminary planning and development of the Improvements

exclusive property of Developer; provided, however, that Owner shall have the
license and right to use the Design Drawings, Improvement Plans, and/or Project
Plans with respect to the Work, the Facilities, the Improvements, and the Real
Property. Owner shall not construct or cause to be constructed or participate in
the construction of any improvements or facility based in whole or in part on
the Improvement Plans or the Project Plans anywhere other than on the Real
Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Owner may retain copies of the
Improvement Plans and the Project Plans, and may distribute the same on a need
to know and confidential basis to architects, engineers, attorneys and other
agents of Owner for use in connection with the completion, maintenance, repair,
alteration, modification or replacement of the Improvements built or to be built
on the Real Property. Developer shall retain all rights to use all plans
referred to herein for any other projects in its sole and absolute discretion.

         2.4. PROGRESS MEETINGS AND REPORTS.

              (a)     MEETINGS. Developer shall schedule telephonic meetings

limitation, compliance with the approved Improvement Plans, and each component
part thereof (including the Budget).

                  (b) PROGRESS REPORT. From time to time as may be requested by
Owner, but no more frequently than once per calendar month, Developer shall
provide Owner with a progress report (a "PROGRESS Report") in a form acceptable
to Owner. The Progress Report shall be submitted within 15 days of Owner's
request therefor and shall contain at least the following information:

                      (i)   the status of all governmental permits and
entitlements required for the development and construction of the Improvements
(the "ENTITLEMENTS");

                      (ii)  the status of all contracts to which Developer is a
party, including, without limitation, agreements with architects, consultants
and contractors performing or to perform work on or in connection with the
Improvements;

                      (iii) the status of construction of the Improvements,
including any updates to the construction schedules and key dates noted therein;

                      (iv)  the status of compliance with the terms, contents 
and requirements of the approved Improvement Plans, including, without
limitation, any variations or deviations (current or projected) from the Budget
(Developer shall maintain and make available to Owner all supporting receipts,
disbursement ledgers, journal entries and such other documents as may be
requested by Owner); and

                      (v)   such other information relating to the Improvements
as Owner may reasonably require.

         2.5.     COMPLIANCE WITH CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE AND BUDGET. Developer 
shall promptly advise Owner if at any time it appears that development or
construction of the Improvements may not be finished on or before the Completion
Date (as hereinafter defined), or if it appears that the Budget will be
exceeded. In such event, Developer shall make recommendations to Owner as to any
appropriate corrective action to be taken, and will implement any such
corrective action reasonably approved by Owner. For purposes of this Agreement,
the term "COMPLETION DATE" shall refer to the date established for substantial
completion of the construction of the Improvements in the schedule component of
the Construction Schedule, which date shall be no later than thirteen (13)
months after the Execution Date (exclusive only of customary and immaterial
punch list items to be completed by the Contractor in the ordinary course). The
Improvements shall be deemed substantially complete on the day that Developer
and/or Manager provide to Owner evidence reasonably satisfactory to Owner of (i)
the certification of the Architect that the Improvements have been constructed
substantially in compliance with the Design Drawings approved by Owner, (ii) a
governmental certificate of occupancy for human use and habitation or its
equivalent for the Improvements, (iii) all licenses necessary for operation of

general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (iv) file a petition or an
answer seeking reorganization or an arrangement with creditors or take advantage
of any insolvency law; or (v) file an answer admitting the material allegations
of a petition filed against it in any bankruptcy, reorganization, or insolvency
proceeding; or if any voluntary petition in bankruptcy or similar proceeding
shall be filed against Developer or Guarantor seeking its reorganization,
liquidation, or appointment of a receiver, trustee, or liquidator for all or
substantially all of its assets, and such petition shall not be dismissed within
sixty (60) calendar days after the filing thereof; or

                  (d) The occurrence of a default under the Lease which is not
cured within any applicable cure period provided for therein.

                  (e) Developer fails to make prompt payment to the contractor,
subcontractors, laborers, or material suppliers for labor performed on or
materials furnished with respect to the Improvements; provided, however,
Developer or Owner shall have the right, but not the obligation, to protest the
amount or payment of any such liabilities; provided, further, that in the event
of any such protest by Developer, Owner shall not incur any expense because of
any such protest and Developer shall diligently and continuously prosecute any
such protest. In the event Owner pays such liability directly to the applicable
third party, Developer hereby agrees to pay 



                                      -14-
<PAGE>   19


to the Owner an amount equal to the amount of such payment by Owner, which
payment by Developer shall be due and payable to Owner on or before the
thirtieth (30th) calendar day following Developer's deemed receipt of a written
notice from Owner (pursuant to the notice provisions under this Lease) that
Owner has made such payment. Developer shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to protest the amount or payment of such liability (in whole or in
part) against the applicable third-party recipient of such payment, and Owner
will cooperate fully with Developer in regard to such protest; provided,
however, that in the event of any protest by Developer, Owner shall not incur
any expense because of such protest; provided, further Developer shall
diligently and continuously prosecute any such protest. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, Developer agrees to protect, indemnify, defend and save
harmless Owner, its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers,
shareholders, agents, and employees from and against any and all foreseeable or
unforeseeable liability, expense, loss, costs, deficiency, fine, penalty,
interest, or other damages (including, without limitation, punitive or
consequential damages, reasonable attorneys' fees, and expenses) arising out of
or due to any protest by Developer pursuant to this Paragraph 6.1(e), regardless
of whether such items arise from the sole liability of Owner or from the joint
liability of Owner and Developer. Upon receiving notice of or information
concerning any suit, claim or demand asserted by a third party that Owner
believes is covered by the indemnity set forth in this Paragraph 6.1(e), Owner
shall give Developer notice of same. Developer shall defend Owner against such
matter at Developer's sole cost and expense with legal counsel reasonably
satisfactory to Owner; or

                  (f) Developer persistently disregards or fails to comply with
any law or ordinance relating to the Improvements or the completion of the
Improvements; or

                  (g) Developer suspends or fails to perform work relating to
construction of the Improvements for fifteen (15) consecutive business days for
any reason other than acts of God or other causes or events described in
Paragraph 8.14 below or such work ceases for sixty (60) consecutive calendar
days for any reason; or

                  (h) Developer is enjoined by any court or other government
agency from constructing the Improvements or performing any obligations
hereunder and such injunction continues unreleased and unstayed for forty-five
(45) consecutive calendar days; or

                  (i) Developer or Guarantor is dissolved or liquidated or
merged with or into any other person or entity; or for any period of more than
ten days Developer or Guarantor ceased to exist in its present form and (where
applicable) in good standing and duly qualified under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, or ceased to be authorized to do
business and in good standing in the State in which the Real Property is
located; or all or substantially all of the assets of the Developer or Guarantor
are sold or otherwise transferred.

         6.2.     TAKE OVER. If an Event of Default occurs, Owner shall have the
right, but not the obligation, without relieving Developer of its obligation to
pay any shortage pursuant to Paragraph 4.5 above, to assume control of the
construction activities needed to meet any governmental conditions for issuance
of a certificate of occupancy for the Improvements.

         6.3. TERMINATION UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT. In addition to any other rights
or remedies available to Owner under the Lease, at law or in equity, Owner shall
have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Developer upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default.

         6.4. ACTIONS SUBSEQUENT TO TERMINATION. Within thirty (30) days after
any termination of this Agreement, Developer shall promptly account for and
deliver to Owner any monies due Owner under this Agreement and shall deliver to
Owner or to such other person as Owner shall designate in writing, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, (i) all permits, plans, licenses, warranties,
contracts and other documents pertaining to the Improvements and in the
possession or control of Developer; (ii) all insurance policies, bills of sale
or other documents evidencing title or rights of Owner; and (iii) any other
materials, supplies, equipment, keys, books and records pertaining to this
Agreement or to the Improvements, whether in possession of Developer or a party
engaged by Developer pursuant to the provisions hereof. Developer shall also
furnish all such information, take all such other action and shall cooperate
with Owner as Owner shall reasonably require in order to effectuate an orderly
and systematic termination of Developer's duties and activities hereunder. All
personal property (including capital equipment, hardware, trade and non-trade
fixtures, materials and supplies) acquired pursuant to this Agreement, whether
paid for directly by Owner or by way of reimbursement to Developer, shall at all
times be the personal property of Owner and shall remain on the Real Property
after such termination.

than thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice to Owner. Originals of the
renewal policies or certificates therefor from the insurers evidencing the
existence thereof shall be deposited with Owner not less than thirty (30)
calendar days prior to the expiration dates of the policies. Any claims under
any policies of insurance described in this Agreement shall be adjudicated by
and at the expense of Developer or of its insurance carrier, but shall be
subject to joint control of Developer and Owner. Developer shall not commence
any work or perform any services, or permit any other person to commence any
work or perform any services, under this Agreement or in connection with the
development or construction of the Improvements until Developer obtains and
maintains all insurance required to be obtained by Developer under this
Agreement, and requires all others performing work in 


                                      -16-

connection with the Improvements to obtain all insurance such persons are

<PAGE>   22



         7.4.     CONTINUED COVERAGE. Notwithstanding the expiration or early
termination of this Agreement, Developer shall maintain insurance coverage such
that the insurance provisions of this Agreement shall survive such expiration or
early termination of this Agreement and Developer's insurance carriers shall
remain obligated under the policies for all occurrences that arise that are
within the scope of the requirements of insurance coverage set forth in this
Agreement.

         7.5.      WAIVER OF SUBROGATION. Owner and Developer hereby waive any 
rights each may have against the other on account of any loss or damage
occasioned to Owner or Developer, as the case may be, arising from any risk
covered by the insurance maintained under this Agreement. Owner and Developer
each, on behalf of their respective insurance companies, waive any right of
subrogation that such insurance company may have against Owner or Developer, as
the case may be. The foregoing waivers of subrogation shall be operative only so
long as available in the State of Pennsylvania and so long as such waivers do
not invalidate any such policy. Such waivers of subrogation shall not extend to
Owner's or Developer's rights (i) to the proceeds of such insurance, or (ii) to
payment for damages as set forth in Paragraph 8.11 below in connection with the
indemnification of Owner or Developer therein contained.

         8.       MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

and confidence created by this Agreement between Developer and Owner, and
covenants and agrees that it will not voluntarily or involuntarily, directly or
indirectly, sell, assign, hypothecate, pledge or otherwise transfer or dispose
of all or any portion of its interest in this Agreement to any third party
without the prior written consent of Owner, which may be withheld in Owner's
sole discretion. Any sale of controlling interest in Developer to any third
party without the prior written consent of Owner shall be deemed an assignment
of this Agreement. Any attempted sale, assignment, hypothecation, pledge or
other transfer without such consent shall be void.

         8.2.     AMENDMENT. This Agreement may be amended from time to time
only by a writing executed by Owner and Developer.

Any notice so given by mail shall be deemed to have been given as of the date of
delivery (whether accepted or refused) established by U.S. Post Office return
receipt or the overnight carrier's proof of delivery, as the case may be,
whether accepted or refused. Any such notice not so given shall be deemed given

addresses may be changed by notice to the other parties given in the same manner
as provided above. If any party is not an individual, notice may be made to any
officer, general partner or principal thereof.

         8.4.     ATTORNEYS' FEES. In any judicial action between the parties to
enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or any right of any party under
this Agreement, regardless of whether such action or proceeding is prosecuted to

fees and charges, incurred therein by the prevailing party.

         8.5.     ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all prior agreements and negotiations between the parties with
respect thereto.

         8.6.     GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be enforced, governed by,
and construed in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Real
Property is located.

         8.7.     SEVERABILITY. If any term or provision of this Agreement is
declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable,
then the remainder of this Agreement, including the application of such term or
provision to persons or circumstances other than those 



                                      -19-
<PAGE>   24



to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby;
provided, however, if the foregoing would produce a result which is clearly
contrary to the intentions of the parties as reflected in this Agreement, then
the invalid or unenforceable term or provision shall be deemed modified to the
extent necessary in the court's opinion to render such term or provision
enforceable consistent with the intentions of the parties and, as so modified,
such portion and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force
and effect.

         8.8.     NO WAIVER. No failure or delay of a party in the exercise of
any right given to such party hereunder or by law shall constitute a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude
other further exercise thereof or of any other right. The waiver by a party of
any breach of any provision hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any
subsequent breach thereof, or of any breach of any other provision hereof.

         8.9.     NO JOINT VENTURE. Owner shall not and does not by this
Agreement in any way or for any purpose become a partner of Developer in the
conduct of its business, or otherwise, or a joint venturer of or a member of a
joint enterprise with Developer, or an Employer of Developer, it being
understood and agreed between Owner and Developer that Developer is and shall
be, for all purposes of this Agreement, an independent contractor of Owner.
Developer agrees that, upon request of Owner, Developer shall execute and
deliver to Owner a quitclaim deed in recordable form pursuant to which Developer
remises, releases and forever quitclaims to Owner the Real Property and the
improvements located thereon (other than its leasehold interest therein arising
out of the Lease). Owner shall have the right to record such quitclaim deed in
the Official Records of the county in which the Real Property is located.

         8.10.    SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph
8.1 above, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties and
their respective successors and assigns.

         8.11.    INDEMNITY. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the
parties agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the other party (the
"INDEMNITEE") (through legal counsel reasonably approved by the Indemnitee) from
any and all liability, loss, cost, expense, damage and attorneys' fees resulting
from or arising out of the negligent acts or omissions, willful misconduct or
Events of Default, of such indemnifying party, its staff members, employees,
agents and representatives, in connection with the performance by such
indemnifying party of its services under this Agreement, including, without
limitation, any claim, liability, loss or expense arising out of the use,
release, discharge, storage, handling, transportation or clean up of any toxic
or hazardous wastes, substances, materials, or underground storage tanks, in the
construction of the Improvements.

         8.12.    ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS. Developer and Owner will, whenever and 
as often as requested by the other party hereto, execute or cause to be executed
all such instruments or agreements as may be reasonably necessary in order to

         8.13.    SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS. Developer acknowledges that Owner is
relying on Developer for the identification of all subsurface conditions and
aspects of site geology that should be taken into account in the design and
construction of the Improvements.

         8.14.    FORCE MAJEURE. Any time limits provided for either party's
performance under this Agreement shall be extended for and throughout such
period of time as such performance is prevented or delayed due to strikes,
lockouts, acts of government, acts of God, wars, riots, civil insurrection or
abnormal force of elements or other causes (except financial) beyond the
parties' reasonable control and which the affected party could not have
reasonably foreseen and provided against; provided, however, that in no event
shall any such extension be deemed to have occurred unless (a) the party whose
performance is delayed shall have given notice to the other party within ten
(10) days after the occurrence of the event of delay, setting forth the facts
giving rise to such extension, and (b) the applicable period or periods of time
within which such other party may exercise its rights hereunder shall be
commensurately extended. The party whose performance is delayed shall give
prompt written notice to the other party of the cessation of the event or
condition giving rise to such delay.

         8.15.    COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall
constitute one and the same document.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement is executed as of the day and year
first above written.
