Item 1.02
Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On June 29, 2010, pursuant to Section 3.7 of the Agreement of Lease, dated April 2, 2009, with an effective date of April 1, 2008, between 3190 Tremont LLC, as landlord, and WorldGate Service, Inc., as tenant, WorldGate provided written notice to the landlord of its election to terminate the lease effective September 27, 2010.  The lease provides for termination by either party upon ninety days prior written notice of the party’s intent to terminate the lease.  There were no termination penalties. 
 
Starting April 1, 2010 under the lease, the base rent was $10,400 per month and the additional rent was $5,805 per month for approximately 17,000 square feet of office space, each of which were payable on the first day of the month and were subject to a 4% increase per year on each April 1st.  Additional rent was intended to constitute payment for WorldGate’s proportionate share of real estate taxes, utilities and other building operating expenses.  The term of the lease was month-to-month with a commencement date of April 1, 2008.  No material relationship exists between WorldGate or any affiliate, director or officer of WorldGate and 3190 Tremont LLC.
 
WorldGate has terminated the lease in anticipation of relocating to new office space at Horizon II, 3800 Horizon Boulevard, Bensalem, Pennsylvania, at the Horizon Corporate Center as more fully described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 25, 2010.
