THIS DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into


as of this _____ day of _________, 2009 (the “Effective Date”), by and between TOWNSHIP
OF LOWER MERION, a Township of the First Class organized and existing under the laws of
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the “Township”) and DRANOFF PROPERTIES, INC., a
corporation organized and existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
(“Dranoff”).

RECITALS:

A. The Township is the owner of those certain parcels of real property located in
Ardmore, Lower Merion Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, more particularly
described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and made a part hereof (collectively, the “Township
Site”).

B. Pursuant to a Request for Proposal (the “RFP”) dated June 22, 2007, the
Township solicited proposals for redevelopment of several parcels in Ardmore, Pennsylvania,

identified on Exhibit ”B” attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Amtrak Site”) owned by
National Railroad Passenger Corporation (“Amtrak”) and leased to the Southeastern
Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (“SEPTA”) and in part on the Township Site. The mini-
main street shall connect to the existing Station Avenue and is anticipated to become, at the
option of the Township, a public street. Dranoff has further proposed to construct a parking
garage (the “Garage”) to be located on the Township Site in order to provide parking for the
Project, as defined below.

E. On or about November 10, 2008, the Township issued, in conjunction with


SEPTA, a Request for Proposal for Architectural/Engineering Design Services for Ardmore
Transit Center Facilities, FTA Grant No. PA-03-0385, dated November 10, 2008 (the “A&E
RFP”) pursuant to which the Township solicited proposals for such services for certain transit-

NOW, THEREFORE, for One Dollar ($1.00) and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto,
intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1. THE PRIVATE PROJECT.

1.1 Amtrak Site.

(a) Dranoff agrees to work diligently to reach an agreement with Amtrak


on the acquisition of the Amtrak Site (the “Amtrak Acquisition Agreement”), and to obtain a
modification of the existing lease between SEPTA and Amtrak to permit Dranoff to enter into
the Amtrak Acquisition Agreement and construct the Project. The Township shall have the right
to review and approve all provisions in the Amtrak Acquisition Agreement which are the subject
of the Township’s approval rights by law or as agreed to in writing by the parties, such approval
not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed unless a different standard for such
approval is otherwise specified by law. At closing under the Amtrak Acquisition Agreement
Dranoff shall grant the Township an option (the “Option”) to purchase the Amtrak Site for a
purchase price of One Dollar ($1.00) in the event that construction of the Private Project has not
commenced or a notice to proceed has not been issued by Dranoff under the construction
contract for construction of the Private Project (a “Notice to Proceed”) within three (3) years
from the date of such closing; provided, however, that such three-year period shall be extended
to the extent caused by a delay of the Township. The Option shall be recorded in the office of
the Register of Deeds of Montgomery County, Pennsylvania (the “Recorder’s Office”);
provided, however, that the Option shall contain language providing that upon the earlier of the
visible commencement of construction of the Private Project or the issuance of a Notice to
Proceed, as evidenced by a certification of such commencement or Notice to Proceed (the
“Commencement Certification”) executed by Dranoff and recorded in the Recorder’s Office, the
Option shall be of no further force or effect. Contemporaneously with the execution of the
Option, the Township will deliver a Termination of Option to Dranoff in recordable form, which
may be recorded by Dranoff upon the date Dranoff executes the Commencement Certification in
recordable form. The term “to the extent caused by a delay by the Township” shall be
interpreted with reference to the following example: if the Township is deemed, for example, to
be responsible for 10% of a delay, then the three year period shall be extended for 10% of the
period of the overall delay. Dranoff shall notify the Township reasonably promptly following
commencement of a delay for which the Township may be responsible under this Section 1.1(a).

(b) At closing under the construction financing for the Project, and as
conditions to the Township’s obligations to proceed with the Project and Dranoff’s right to draw
funds under the construction financing, Dranoff shall cause its mortgage lenders to enter into an
agreement, which shall be recorded in the Recorder’s Office, that if such lender commences an
action in foreclosure (or other action pursuant to which, if completed, will cause the mortgagor
to lose possession of or title to the Amtrak Site), the Township shall have the reasonable right to
assume the loan and complete the Project on terms reasonably acceptable to the mortgage lender
which shall include, without limitation, the assumption by the Township of all the terms,
conditions and provisions set forth in each of the documents evidencing or securing the Loan.

#419060 v21 September 18, 2009 (3:36:38 PM) 4


(c) As a condition to the Township’s obligations under this Agreement, the
Amtrak Acquisition Agreement shall provide that, if Dranoff defaults under the Amtrak
Acquisition Agreement and as the result thereof Dranoff does not acquire the Amtrak Site, the
Township shall have the right to assume Dranoff’s obligations under the Amtrak Acquisition
Agreement and construct the Project provided that the Project is substantially the same as that
which is approved under the Amtrak Acquisition Agreement. If, on or before June 30, 2010,
Amtrak shall have not have executed and delivered the Amtrak Acquisition Agreement
containing the provision required by this Section 1.1(c), either the Township or Dranoff shall
have the right to terminate this Agreement, and if either party exercised such right, neither party
shall have any further obligations hereunder except for the reimbursement and indemnity
obligations under Sections 7.4 and 5.2 hereof.

1.2 Construction of Private Project.

(a) Dranoff agrees to promptly begin and diligently prosecute to


completion the design and construction of the Private Project in a good and workmanlike manner
in accordance with this Agreement and with the Schedule.

(b) The Township shall have the right, but not the obligation, to inspect the
construction of the Private Project for the purpose of determining material conformity with the
Approved Plans, as defined below. In the event that the Township discovers construction that is
not substantially in accordance with the Approved Plans, and Dranoff fails to cure such failure
within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice from the Township, provided that if such
failure is not capable of being cured within such thirty (30) day period, the time period for curing
shall be extended for up to 365 days so long as Dranoff promptly commences to cure the failure
and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion, such failure shall constitute an
Event of Default and the Township shall be entitled to exercise the remedies set forth in Section
6.3 hereof.

(c) Dranoff’s obligation to perform under subsection 1.2(a) above and


construct the Private Project is contingent upon the following conditions (the “Conditions”):

(i) Dranoff shall have received a title insurance policy covering the
Amtrak Site (the “Title Policy”) reasonably satisfactory to Dranoff, its lenders and its investors.
The Title Policy shall insure good and marketable title to the Amtrak Site, at regular rates.

(ii) On or before December 31, 2012, Dranoff shall have obtained


financing commitments for the Private Project, and the funds under the financing commitments
shall be available to Dranoff, in an amount sufficient, in the reasonable opinion of the Township
and Dranoff, to finance the Private Project.

(iii) On or before December 31, 2012, the Township and Dranoff


shall have obtained financing commitments for the Public Project, and the funds under the
financing commitments shall be available to the Township and Dranoff, in an amount sufficient,
in the reasonable opinion of the Township and Dranoff, to finance the Public Project.

(d) If item (c) (ii) or (c) (iii) have not been performed on or before
December 31, 2012, either the Township or Dranoff shall have the right to terminate this

#419060 v21 September 18, 2009 (3:36:38 PM) 5


Agreement, and if either party exercises such right, neither party shall have any further
obligations hereunder except for the reimbursement and indemnity obligations under Sections
7.4 and 5.2 hereof.

1.3 Dranoff’s Right to Terminate. If, despite Dranoff’s reasonable commercial


efforts, the Conditions are not met by the dates set forth in the Schedule, as the same may be
extended hereunder, Dranoff shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by sending written
notice to the Township within sixty (60) days of the date set forth on the Schedule for the
relevant condition, and thereafter neither party shall have any further obligations or liabilities to
the other hereunder except with respect to those obligations hereunder which expressly survive
any termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
following any termination or expiration of this Agreement, the Township shall retain the right to
bring an action for non-payment of sums due and unpaid under this Agreement in accordance
with and subject to the provisions of Article 5 hereof, if Dranoff is obligated to pay such sums
hereunder. The terms of Section 7.4 shall also survive the termination or expiration of this
Agreement.

1.4 Design Parameters.

(a) The parties acknowledge that the conceptual design set forth on
Exhibit “F” attached hereto and made a part hereof is consistent with their expectations as of the
date of this Agreement. Without limiting the Township’s ability to approve the plans and
specifications for the land development approvals consistent with the Pennsylvania
Municipalities Planning Code, Lower Merion Township Zoning Code and all other Laws (none
of which shall be deemed to occur under this Agreement but rather in the ordinary course
according to the Township’s practice and procedure), the Township shall have the right to
approve final plans for the Project (the “Approved Plans”); provided, however, that the
Township shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent under this subsection
(a) so long as the design reflected in the plans is consistent with the conceptual design attached
hereto as Exhibit “F.” No approval of the design, construction documents or any other aspect of
the Private Project shall be deemed to impose any liability upon the Township, it being
understood that such review is for the Township’s own purposes and not to be construed as a
representation or warranty that the Private Project has been designed or constructed in
conformance with applicable Laws. Dranoff shall remain solely responsible to review and
approve, or cause qualified professionals to review and approve, the design and construction of
the Private Project. Further, no approvals under this Section 1.4(a) or otherwise under this
Agreement shall in any way be construed to constitute an approval of the plans and
specifications for purposes of land development, zoning, building codes, the Municipalities
Planning Code, or any other Laws for any other purpose whatsoever except for compliance with
this Agreement.

(b) In addition to all other Township approvals, the Township shall have
the right to approve, in its reasonable discretion, (i) the design of any material elements of the
Private Project visible from the exterior of the Private Project, including, but not limited to,
building exteriors, landscaping, pedestrian walkways, and public spaces, and, until completion of
the Project, (ii) (A) joint venture partners, members or shareholders (provided, however, that to
the extent that Dranoff retains Control of the Project, the Township shall not have such right;

#419060 v21 September 18, 2009 (3:36:38 PM) 6


provided, further, that if such partners, members or shareholders have the right to obtain Control
upon the occurrence of certain events under the organizational documents, then prior to the
exercise of such right, the Township shall have the right to approve the substitute manager of the
development of the Project if such partners do not have personnel reasonably capable of
performing Dranoff’s obligations under this Agreement, such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), and (B) other entities to whom title or Control will be transferred other
than entities owned or Controlled by Dranoff or Carl Dranoff. The term “Control” shall mean
that the entity shall be the general partner of a partnership or shall be a member, shareholder, or
other stakeholder, in any such case, with the power to direct the management and affairs of the
enterprise.

(c) Dranoff shall consult with the Township regarding the selection of all
architects, engineers, contractors and other professionals to be engaged in connection with the
Private Project; the Township hereby approves of the following professionals: JKR Partners,
imPAct Pennsylvania Strategies, LLC, Urban Engineers, Inc., and Timothy Haahs & Associates.

1.5 Below Market Rate Housing (BMR). “BMR” will be defined by the Township
and will include residential units. Dranoff shall provide a diversity of housing types, and at least
10% of the total number of residential units shall be BMR units. Dranoff shall endeavor to work
with existing non-profit BMR organizations serving the Township.

1.6 Retail. A diversity of retail must be sought, aimed at providing stores that will
meet the everyday needs of a socio-economically diverse neighborhood. Retail uses shall be
consistent with the Ardmore Merchandizing Mix and Retail Strategy and should include
primarily independent retailers or local chains.

ARTICLE 2. COMBINED BUDGET AND SCHEDULE FOR PUBLIC AND


PRIVATE PROJECTS; ZONING AND FINANCING

2.1 Schedule. In consultation with the Township, the A&E Consultants, SEPTA
and Amtrak, Dranoff shall (i) prepare and update, as required or permitted hereunder, a
development, permitting, financing, design and construction schedule for the entire Project (the
“Schedule”); and (ii) monitor and make oral reports and written reports to the Township, SEPTA
and Amtrak as reasonably required or as is reasonably necessary as to the progress of the Project
compared to the Schedule. The initial Schedule is attached hereto as Exhibit “C” and made a
part hereof. If Dranoff believes that revisions to the Schedule are necessary as the Project
progresses, Dranoff shall provide a written proposal to the Township, which proposal shall
include an explanation of the justification for the proposed changes. The Township shall review
and approve or deny such proposal in its reasonable discretion. In the event of any event which
Dranoff, despite commercially reasonable efforts, is not able to prevent, including acts of God,
terrorism, war, strikes or labor disputes unrelated to Dranoff’s activities, unavailability of funds,
fire or other casualty (such event, an “Event of Force Majeure”), but not including the loss of or
failure to obtain tenants, the Schedule shall be extended as necessary, in the Township’s
reasonable discretion; provided, however, that such extensions, cumulatively, shall in no event
exceed seven hundred thirty (730) days and provided, further, that Dranoff shall notify the
Township of the onset of any such delays.

#419060 v21 September 18, 2009 (3:36:38 PM) 7


2.2 Zoning and Approvals.

(a) Unless otherwise approved by the Township, all new development and
redevelopment shall comply with zoning and all other applicable Township ordinances, land
development procedures, and future amendments thereto. The Project and all plans and designs
must complement the existing architecture within the Ardmore Commercial Historic District,
comply substantially with the Ardmore Storefront Design Guidelines and design standards of
zoning. The parties anticipate that if the Project is to be constructed as contemplated by this
Agreement, amendments to the Township zoning ordinance will be required. The Township and
Dranoff agree to use reasonable efforts to work cooperatively to create a project that meets
zoning and land development approval requirements. The Township recognizes that Dranoff
may request amendments to the Township’s current ordinances or waivers in order to make the
Project feasible or more compatible with a transit oriented development, and Dranoff shall have
the right to terminate this Agreement in the event that amendments to the Township’s current
ordinances which are reasonably necessary for the construction of the Project are not obtained on
or before June 30, 2012. In no event shall approval of this Agreement be construed as a
modification of, or an agreement to modify, the zoning ordinance.

(b) The Township shall, to the extent consistent with the Township’s legal
obligations, work cooperatively and expeditiously with Dranoff in securing approvals and
permits and in meeting requirements of other government entities.

(c) Dranoff shall utilize environmentally sustainable planning and design,


including energy-efficient materials and design, and shall reasonably endeavor to obtain “green
building” certification. Dranoff shall incorporate “walkability” into its planning and design,
encouraging pedestrian-friendly connections between Suburban Square and the Ardmore
residential and business districts and along Lancaster Avenue and adjacent roadways.

(d) Dranoff shall work with the Township’s Historical Architectural


Review Board (“HARB”) to obtain non-binding feedback on how best to integrate and to
complement the existing architecture and historic district.

(e) Use of walking, bicycles and car-sharing, including, without limitation,


bicycle parking and designated car-sharing spaces, shall be encouraged.

2.3 Budget. Dranoff shall, in conjunction with the Township and its consultants,
prepare financial projections and financial analysis for the Transit Improvements and the Project
as a whole, and shall prepare and submit to the Township for approval, as and when reasonably
requested by the Township, proposed budgets for the Public Project and the Private Project in
such detail as the Township may reasonably request, such budgets to show all projected direct
and indirect costs for development of the Public Project and the Private Project. The Township
and Dranoff acknowledge and agree that as of the date hereof the Budget attached hereto as
Exhibit “D” and made a part hereof is approved for the Project as a whole (such budget, as
modified from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the “Budget”). Dranoff shall
periodically update the Budget and submit it to the Township for the Township’s reasonable
approval. Before the commencement of construction on either the Private Project or the Public

#419060 v21 September 18, 2009 (3:36:38 PM) 8


Project, the Township shall, in its reasonable discretion and in a timely fashion, approve a final
version of the Budget (the “Final Budget”).

2.4 Financing and Funding.

(a) Dranoff shall be responsible to provide from its own resources or those
of its constituent partners or members, or to identify and, to the extent commercially feasible,
obtain from other sources the funding necessary to carry out the Project, and shall seek grant
funding from other sources. The parties recognize that governmental and private bodies may
commit grants or other financial assistance to facilitate the Project. Such assistance may include
grants from the federal, state or county government for the construction of the new Transit
Center and related infrastructure (including infrastructure to bring the station’s facilities into
compliance with the ADA); historic tax credits or low-income tax credits, as may be determined
by Dranoff to be available for various components of the Project; funding from transit agencies;
and other county, state and federal grants, loans or assistance. The Township shall cooperate, at
no out-of-pocket cost to the Township, with Dranoff’s efforts to identify and obtain such
assistance.

(b) Dranoff shall continually demonstrate to the satisfaction of the


Township its financial and operational capabilities to complete all aspects of the Project.
Nothing contained in the preceding sentence is intended to accelerate any responsibility of
Dranoff to obtain financing under this Agreement.

(c) Funding of the Project is anticipated to require myriad public and


private resources. The parties acknowledge and agree that each federal, state and local source of
financing may require its own mechanisms for funding and that each of those sources may also
require particular bidding processes and other conditions precedent to obtaining funds. By way
of example and not limitation, some funding sources may require that funds be delivered to the
Township and that the Township administer the funds. Some funding mechanisms may require
compliance with the Separations Act, requirements to pay prevailing wages, and other
requirements applicable to public projects generally. Dranoff acknowledges that, as a condition
to receiving funds, it will need to satisfy all requirements applicable to the receipt of those funds,
and Dranoff agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Township from and against any
liability arising from Dranoff’s failure to comply with this Section 2.3. It is anticipated that the
Township will administer funds coming from public sources. Prior to the start of construction on
either the Public Project or the Private Project, Dranoff and the Township shall compile a list of
all of the funding sources for the Project, and shall endeavor in good faith to agree on the
allocation of those funds to the various parts of the Project (the “Sources and Uses”), with the
expectation that funds from public sources will be used to partially fund the Private Project.
Once Dranoff and the Township have agreed on the Sources and Uses, the Township will
promptly make the funds which are designated for the Private Project under the Sources and
Uses but under the control of the Township available to Dranoff upon receipt of written
applications therefor from Dranoff and compliance with the requirements of the applicable
funding source and disbursement conditions generally required by lending and grant sources for
such draw.

#419060 v21 September 18, 2009 (3:36:38 PM) 9


2.5 Land Payment. Dranoff shall pay or cause to be paid to the Township, for use
of the Township’s land for the Project One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) (“Land Payment”),
and the Township’s sole obligation to contribute to the cost of the Project shall be to apply an
amount equal to the Land Payment actually received.

ARTICLE 3. DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT SERVICES FOR THE PUBLIC


PROJECT.

3.1 Development Management. The Township hereby engages Dranoff to perform

amendments thereto shall be subject to the approval of the Township and one or more of the
Transit Agencies. Dranoff shall assist such A&E Consultants in the development of the design
for the Public Project, and Dranoff shall render its commercially reasonable advice and judgment
as to designs, selection of materials, building systems and equipment, relative construction
feasibility, construction documents, availability of materials and labor, time requirements for

order without the prior written consent of the Township and SEPTA (provided, however, that the
Township and Dranoff may establish a mechanism for field approval by Dranoff of minor
change orders).

SEPTA, Amtrak, and the Consultants, or so many of the said parties as shall be necessary, at
such times and places as shall be appropriate to render periodic oral and written status reports on
the progress of any work; send to the Township promptly after receipt and, in no event less often
than monthly, copies of all notices and other written communications received or sent by Dranoff
on its own behalf, or on behalf of the Township, to or from third parties, including, without
limitation, communications from Transit Agencies and copies of all payment requests; and
timely advise the Township, SEPTA and Amtrak of, and the Township may approve, conduct or
participate in, any significant negotiations that may be conducted with any Transit Agency, the
CM or any other Consultants.

(l) Provide all required accounting functions for the construction of the
Public Project, including, without limitation, the review and analysis of funding and payment
requests during the course of any construction.

(m) Exercise diligent efforts to cause the Public Project to be developed and
constructed in accordance with the Budget and the Schedule approved by the Township, as
amended from time to time with the Township’s reasonable written approval.

(n) Monitor and use reasonable diligence and reasonable efforts to require
that all Consultants and the CM comply with all of the terms of their contracts and all applicable
laws, ordinances, rules, regulations and restrictions governing the construction of the Public
Project, including the Transit Requirements.

(o) Take reasonable action to assure that all material and equipment
furnished and used for permanent installations shall be new and as specified, and use reasonable
efforts to require all contractors to cause all materials or other parts of their work to be readily
available as and when required or needed in connection with the continuous and expeditious
prosecution of such work and require all contractors to ascertain that all materials and equipment
which are to be part of their work are free of any lien or security interest in favor of any other
party (except as approved by the Township) and that good title will pass on delivery.

(p) During the progress of constructing the Public Project and thereafter,
while warranties are applicable, use diligence and reasonable efforts to enforce all warranties and
to cause all defects in the construction or execution of the Public Project to be corrected.

(q) To the extent reasonably requested by the Township, provide general


monitoring and reports on the progress of all portions of the Project, including, without
limitation, performance of general conditions work by the CM and subcontractors in order to
endeavor to guard against deficiencies in the work, including causing the making of
arrangements for inspections or testing, where appropriate. The Township recognizes that
Dranoff is not a design professional and is not acting as such, and therefore is expecting the
monitoring to be that typically performed by project managers rather than architects.

(r) Cause all contracts and subcontracts to provide for the general security
and safekeeping of all materials, equipment and improvements located at the Project site.

#419060 v21 September 18, 2009 (3:36:38 PM) 12


(s) Use all reasonable efforts to cause all Consultants and the CM to
perform in a timely manner so that the Project as a whole can be completed in accordance with
the Schedule in effect from time to time.

(t) To the extent reasonably requested by the Township, prepare and


negotiate such contracts, easements, licenses and other agreements as are necessary or desirable
for the provision of water, sewer, gas, electric, telephone and other utilities (collectively, “Access
and Utility Agreements”), in capacities adequate for the development and use of the Transit
Improvements for their intended purposes. Dranoff acknowledges that all easements must be
executed by the Township to be binding upon the Township.

(u) Take such action as may be necessary to cause the Public Project to
comply with any law, statute, ordinance, resolution, rule, regulation, order or determination by
any governmental authority or any board of fire underwriters (or other body exercising similar
functions), or any recorded restrictive covenant or deed restriction, including without limitation,
all applicable zoning ordinances and building codes, flood disaster laws, health and
environmental laws and regulations, and laws and regulations governing accessibility by the
disabled.

(v) Promptly furnish to the Township, upon receipt by Dranoff, copies of


all legal notices received by Dranoff respecting the Project, and properly notify the Township of
any suit, proceeding or other actions threatened, commenced or taken against the Project, or
against the Township, the Transit Agencies or Dranoff, with respect to the Project. The
Township agrees to provide to Dranoff copies of all such notices received by the Township.

(w) If the Township so requests, review and advise the Township (in
conjunction with the Township’s Consultants if applicable under their respective contracts) with
respect to monthly construction applications for payment prepared by contractors,
subcontractors, architects and engineers, and advise the Township of the proper amounts
payable, and prepare such documentation as is reasonably required to monitor construction
draws.

(x) Perform such other services as are normal and customary for
experienced, first class developers to perform on projects of like kind and size as the Transit
Improvements and the Project as a whole.

3.5 Cooperation. The Township agrees to work cooperatively with Dranoff to


accomplish the goals of this Agreement, and both parties agree to work collaboratively and
cooperatively to acquire any rights of use over properties adjoining the Project which are
necessary for the construction and use of the Project.

ARTICLE 4. CIRCULATION AND PARKING.

4.1 Garage. The parties anticipate that if the Project is to proceed in the manner
provided in this Agreement, the above-ground portion of the Garage shall consist of at least five
hundred (500) parking spaces. The Township shall manage the portion of the Garage above
ground, and shall receive a fee for such management. Dranoff shall perform, at its expense,
maintenance of the Garage below ground (and ramps leading downward below the ground floor),

#419060 v21 September 18, 2009 (3:36:38 PM) 13


except that if Dranoff fails to perform maintenance, the Township shall have the right to perform
such maintenance and invoice Dranoff for the cost thereof. Dranoff and the Township shall enter
into an agreement more fully explaining the management and operations (including the
maintenance obligations) of the Garage, provided that Dranoff shall not have any financial
obligations for the ground (entrance) floor of the Garage or any areas above the first floor of the
Garage or for any management fees of the Township. Dranoff shall have the exclusive use of
parking spaces below ground. Following completion of construction, the Township shall arrange
the warranties to permit either Dranoff or the Township to enforce warranties related to the
Garage.

It is also expected that the Township, Amtrak and SEPTA will enter into an
agreement regarding the parking spaces to be used by Amtrak and SEPTA, and Amtrak and
SEPTA’s obligations to contribute toward reserves and operating expenses.

Shared parking shall be permitted in accordance with the applicable zoning


regulations, and the parties shall consider some parking spaces as potentially useable for multiple
purposes. By way of example and not limitation, some parking spaces currently available to the
Township employees, the Township vehicles or both, will be eliminated by the Project. These
parking spaces will need to be replaced and supplemented, but many such parking spaces may be
useable by other users outside of the core weekday business hours, when the Township personnel
or vehicles require the parking spaces, and thus could satisfy other parking requirements in
connection with the Project.

4.2 Traffic. To the extent not performed by the A&E consultants, and if required
as a part of the land development process, Dranoff shall conduct traffic impact studies to
determine the cumulative effect and impacts of the Project, and shall provide traffic and
pedestrian improvements to address identified traffic and pedestrian needs.

Dranoff shall incorporate traffic calming and pedestrian safety measures into its
designs for Lancaster Avenue and adjacent roadways impacted by development. Dranoff shall
identify and make appropriate provisions for delivery and trash collection vehicles during
construction, as well as after Project completion for the non-residential portions of the Private
Project. Dranoff and the Township shall engage in preplanning for parking during construction.

4.3 Additional Connections. Dranoff shall improve pedestrian access across


Lancaster Avenue and other nearby roads with pavement changes and other features. Certain
offsite improvements to Lancaster Avenue shall be part of the Project.

ARTICLE 5. FEES, EXPENSES AND STAFFING.

5.1 Fees. The Budget provides for a development fee of two and one-half percent
and a general and administrative fee of two and one-half percent of the cost of the entire Project
(collectively, the “Developer’s Fee”) to be paid from both public and private sources to Dranoff
in consideration for the services to be rendered by Dranoff relating to both the Public and Private
portions of the Project under this Agreement. The Developer’s Fee shall be paid as follows:
50% upon commencement of construction of the Public Project, and the remainder monthly over
the course of construction of the Project, in proportion to the percentage of work completed on

#419060 v21 September 18, 2009 (3:36:38 PM) 14


the Project as a whole. Until the Project is finally complete, as evidenced by certificates of
occupancy (not temporary certificates of occupancy), the Township may withhold 10% of each
payment due to Dranoff in accordance with this Section until the project is 50% complete, with
no further withholding of additional retainage (but continuation of withholding of the previously
withheld sums) after the Project is 50% complete. In the event of a termination of this
Agreement by the Township under Section 6.3 hereof, Dranoff shall not be entitled to payment
of any further unpaid fee.

5.2 Expenses. Dranoff shall reimburse the Township for the Township’s third-
party professional service costs reasonably and actually incurred in connection with the land
development process outlined in this Agreement, including but not limited to costs incurred to
negotiate agreements with Dranoff, including without limitation, the Amtrak Acquisition
Agreement and this Agreement, incurred after March 1, 2008 through the date hereof. If, but
only if, neither Dranoff nor the Township terminates this Agreement prior to the earlier of the
date of execution of the Amtrak Acquisition Agreement or June 30, 2010 (as such date may be
extended by mutual agreement of the parties, the “Amtrak Agreement Deadline”), Dranoff shall
automatically without further action be further responsible for such third-party professional fees
and costs from and after the date hereof.

(a) Except as provided in the last sentence of this subsection (a), Dranoff
shall not be required to reimburse the Township for expenses that are reimbursed under the FTA
Grant No. PA-03-0385 or that are the responsibility of the Township to provide “matching”
funds under such agreement or under a Matching Engineering and Design Grant. The term
“Matching Engineering and Design Grant,” as used in the preceding sentence, shall mean any
grant or subsidy related to the Project, other than a loan which requires repayment, that requires
matching funds and that covers engineering or design, but the term “Matching Engineering and
Design Grant” does not include grants and subsidies to the extent covering fees and costs of
inspections, reports and investigations related to the Project. If the Reimbursement Date, as
hereinafter defined, occurs, the Township shall be reimbursed on the Reimbursement Date (or
reasonably promptly thereafter if the expense is incurred after the Reimbursement Date)
obligations required to be funded by such matching funds.

(b) Dranoff shall be entitled to the benefit of any special rates or fee
arrangements obtained by the Township. Dranoff shall pay amounts due at the earlier of (a) the
first construction closing or construction draw on financing of the Private Project following
delivery of professional services (the “Reimbursement Date”), or (b) termination of this
Agreement by Dranoff or termination of negotiations under this Agreement by Dranoff, except
that Dranoff shall not be liable for any such costs, expenses or fees if this Agreement, or
negotiations hereunder, is terminated by Dranoff (i) by reason of Dranoff’s unwillingness to
grant or agree to a request or demand of the Township which is unreasonable in the context of
this Agreement, (ii) because the Township unreasonably takes an action or refuses to take an
action reasonably required for fulfillment of this Agreement or for performance or construction
of the Project; or (iii) because the Township is in default. This Section 5.2 shall survive the
termination of this agreement and execution and delivery of the Amtrak Acquisition Agreement.
The Township shall pay directly all consultants and the CM, and except as otherwise specifically
set forth herein Dranoff shall be responsible for all expenses incurred by Dranoff in connection
with the performance of its obligations hereunder.

#419060 v21 September 18, 2009 (3:36:38 PM) 15


(c) If the Township hires additional consultants for which Dranoff may be
responsible for fees under this Agreement, the Township shall consult with Dranoff regarding the
selection of such consultants and the rates or amounts to be paid.

(d) The Township shall periodically provide copies of invoices regarding


fees and expenses that are or may become Dranoff’s responsibility under this Agreement, and if
Dranoff promptly and reasonably objects to the invoices, the Township shall review such
invoices with Dranoff.

(e) If, prior to the Reimbursement Date, funds from grants or subsidies not
required to be repaid are received by the Township that (i) are not prohibited from being used to
pay for the expenses that are required to be reimbursed by Dranoff under this Section 5.2
(“Reimbursable Expenses”) and (ii) are available to be used (“Eligible Funds”), the Township
shall have the right to use such Eligible Funds for Reimbursable Expenses. If Eligible Funds are
not used to pay Reimbursable Expenses previously incurred or ascertainable in amount at the
time the grant funds become available for use, Dranoff’s obligations under this Section 5.2 shall
nevertheless be reduced dollar for dollar by the amount of Eligible Funds that were not used to
pay Reimbursable Expenses. In no event shall the dollar for dollar reduction under this
subsection (e) result in a reduction of Dranoff’s obligations under this Section 5.2 that is, in the
aggregate, less than zero.

(f) This Section 5.2 shall survive termination or expiration of this


Agreement.

5.3 Project Manager. Dranoff shall from time to time designate an individual,
subject to the Township’s approval, as the “Project Manager” having direct responsibility for the
Project and the Transit Improvements. If any person so designated as Project Manager shall
cease to be an employee of Dranoff for any reason, Dranoff, subject to the reasonable approval
of the Township, shall promptly designate a replacement who shall, in any event, have a good
business reputation and substantial experience in the development of commercial properties
similar in product type and quality to the Public Project and who can devote to the Public Project
such amount of time as shall be required to be spent by the Project Manager to complete the
Public Project and the Project as a whole at the times required by the Schedule, as extended in
accordance with the provisions hereof. Dranoff shall cause each of its employees to devote so
much of their time and effort to the Transit Improvements as is necessary for Dranoff to perform
its obligations as required hereby throughout the term of this Agreement.

5.4 Owner’s Representative. Dranoff understands and agrees that the Township,
SEPTA and Amtrak, individually or together, may retain the services of an owner’s
representative, engineer, inspector or other agent skilled at reviewing design and construction
(each, an “Owner’s Rep”). Upon notice from the Township, SEPTA or Amtrak, Dranoff shall
interact with such appointed Owner’s Rep on such basis as the appointing body shall designate.

#419060 v21 September 18, 2009 (3:36:38 PM) 16

performance of all the obligations of Dranoff hereunder has been completed or the earlier

money which is not reasonably capable of being cured within such thirty (30) day period, the
time period for curing shall be extended to 365 days (if the reason such cure is delayed is for
reason other than Force Majeure) and 730 days (if the reason such cure is delayed is Force
Majeure, to run concurrently with any Force Majeure delay under Section 2.1) so long as
Dranoff promptly commences to cure the failure and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to
completion; if a default by Dranoff under this Agreement causes material adverse consequences
to the Township and such material adverse consequences are not eliminated by reason of Dranoff
curing its default, then such default shall not be deemed to have been cured;

each other and their agents and employees for damages caused by fire or other perils to the
Transit Improvements to the extent of insurance proceeds actually received in connection with
such casualty, together with the amount of any deductible payments to be made with respect to
such policies. The insurance policies shall provide such waivers of subrogation by endorsement
or otherwise. A waiver of subrogation shall be effective as to a person or entity even though that

an insurable interest in the property damaged.

7.3 Casualty. The Township and Dranoff shall promptly notify each other of any
fire or other damage to any part of the Project. In the event of any serious damage to any part of

applicable law. Dranoff shall not settle any losses, complete loss reports or adjust losses on
behalf of the Township or meet with any federal, state or local regulatory agency without the
prior written consent of the Township. The Township and Dranoff shall notify each other
promptly of any personal injury or property damage occurring to or claimed by any tenant or
third party on or with respect to any part of the Project. Dranoff shall promptly forward to the

upon Dranoff relating to actual or alleged potential liability of the Township, Dranoff or the
Project.

7.4 Indemnity. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Dranoff shall indemnify and
hold harmless the Township, its agents and employees from and against any and all claims,
demands, actions, fines, penalties, liabilities, losses, taxes, damages, injuries and expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs at the pretrial, trial, and
appellate levels) in any manner related to, arising out of or resulting from:-

(a) any failure of Dranoff to perform its obligations under this Agreement,
to the extent arising from the fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of Dranoff
and provided such failure was not caused by events beyond the reasonable control of Dranoff or
Dranoff ‘s affiliates;

(b) any acts of Dranoff beyond the scope of its authority under this
Agreement;

(c) any acts or omissions of Dranoff in connection with the Private Project;

(d) any injury, damage or death to Dranoff, its officers, directors, partners,
employees, agents and other representatives; or

(e) any injury, damage or death to any independent contractors of Dranoff.

Such obligation of Dranoff shall not be impaired by reason that a party


indemnified hereunder is found to have contributed in part to such claim, loss, liability, damage,
cost or expense.

In addition, Dranoff shall execute, and shall require all persons working on its
behalf, including but not limited to its employees, agents, servants, contractors, and
subcontractors’ employees, on Amtrak property to execute the “Indemnity from Contractors
Performing Design or Engineering Functions,” in form and subject agreed upon between Amtrak
and Dranoff (and such other instruments as shall make Dranoff, not the Township, responsible
for any environmental indemnities required by the Transit Authorities). So long as funds are
available and SEPTA consents, the Township shall make funds from the FTA Grant No. PA-03-
0385 available to Dranoff to be used in connection with any risk fees or deductibles incurred by
Dranoff in connection with such indemnification.

The rights and obligations of indemnity described in this Section 7.4 shall not
be exclusive and shall be in addition to such other rights and obligations as may be otherwise
available at law or in equity.

This Section 7.4 shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 8. FUTURE DEVELOPMENT IN ARDMORE

The Township recognizes that the RFP solicited development proposals for property in
Ardmore that is not the subject of this Development Agreement, and that Dranoff’s response to

#419060 v21 September 18, 2009 (3:36:38 PM) 22


the RFP included redevelopment proposals for the Township parking lot known as the “Cricket
Lot” and for the Township parking lot known as “Ardmore West,” (redevelopment of the Cricket
Lot and the Ardmore West Lot are referred to herein as the “Future Phases”), and that Dranoff
was selected the developer with whom the Township would commence negotiations to be the
master developer of the Project and Future Phases. Provided that (i) Dranoff is not in default
under this Agreement following the giving of all applicable notices, if any, and the expiration of
all applicable grace periods, and (provided, however that, solely for purposes of this Article 8,
the grace period under Section 6.2(a) shall be no longer than 180 days), and (ii) the Project is
within the Budget (provided, however, the Project shall be deemed to be within Budget if any
shortfalls are not obligations which the Township is required to satisfy with its own funds), the
Township in good faith agrees to negotiate exclusively with Dranoff with the goal of entering
into a development agreement for the Future Phases, for a period expiring five (5) years after the
date the Commencement Certification, as defined in Article 1 hereof, is permitted to be issued as
such 5-year period shall be extended by reason of an Event of Force Majeure as set forth in
Section 2.1 hereof that occurs following the commencement of construction (the “Exclusive
Negotiating Period”). Such development agreement, if any, would contain such terms and
conditions as are acceptable to Dranoff and the Township and would provide: (i) that any
purchase price required to be made by Dranoff to the Township for any purchase of the real
property constituting the Future Phases shall not be more than the amounts set forth on Exhibit
“G,” and (ii) a legal structure that will permit Dranoff to construct residential condominiums for
sale to third parties as separate condominium units on the Cricket Lot. In the event that,
following negotiations, the Township and Dranoff are unable to reach agreement within the
Exclusive Negotiating Period, neither the Township nor Dranoff shall have any further
obligations in connection with the Future Phases. This Article 8 shall survive termination of this
Agreement following completion of Dranoff’s obligations under Section 6.1 hereof.

ARTICLE 9. MISCELLANEOUS.

9.1 The Township agrees to work with Amtrak to relocate property lines of the
Township Site and the Amtrak Site so that the Private Project is located entirely on the Amtrak
Site and the Public Project is located entirely on the Township Site. Any such lot line relocation
shall be in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, and shall not result in a
diminution of the total land area owned by the Township.

9.2 This Agreement shall supersede and replace the Letter of Intent.

9.3 It is understood and agreed that nothing contained in this Agreement or the
performance hereof shall be construed as creating any employment relationship whatsoever
between the Township and employees of Dranoff. Therefore, none of Dranoff or any of its
respective employees is or shall be deemed to be employees of the Township. Dranoff agrees to
indemnify, reimburse, defend and hold the Township harmless from and against all costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, all court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees) properly
incurred or paid by the Township in enforcing this Agreement against Dranoff (whether or not
litigation is commenced) or in appearing in any bankruptcy, reorganization receivership or
similar proceeding of Dranoff as permitted hereunder. All communications, notices and
exchanges of information contemplated herein or required or permitted to be given in connection
with this Agreement shall be in writing, and shall be deemed to have been given and to be

in Section 7.4.

9.12 The Township shall not unreasonably delay acting upon written requests

the control of, the Township Manager.

9.13 If any date for the performance of any obligation by the parties or for the
