ARTICLE TWO: PREMISES
2.01 Premises. The Premises are described in Exhibit A. The Premises includes
the building thereon (the "Building"), including the racking system located
therein.
2.02 Condition of Premises. Prior to the Lease Commencement Date, Landlord will
broom clean the Building and ensure that the gas unit heaters and loading docks
are in good working order and that the roof is watertight. Except as provided in
the preceding sentence or as otherwise expressly provided herein, Tenant shall
accept the Premises in its "as-is" condition on the Lease Commencement Date, and
Landlord shall have no obligation to perform any work therein to prepare the
Premises for Tenant.
ARTICLE THREE: LEASE TERM
3.01 Lease of Premises for Lease Term. Landlord leases the Premises to Tenant
and Tenant leases the Premises from Landlord for the Lease Term, commencing on
the Lease Commencement Date, subject to all terms and provisions of this Lease,
except for the payment of Base Rent (which shall commence on the Rent
Commencement Date). The Lease Term shall be the period stated in Article One and
shall begin on the Lease Commencement Date set forth in Article One.
3.02 Options to Extend Term. Tenant shall have two (2) options to extend the
term of this Lease, each for a five (5) year period (an "Option Period"),
provided (a) Tenant shall give notice to Landlord of its exercise of an option
not less than nine (9) months prior to the expiration of the Lease Term or the
first Option Period, as the case may be, (b) no default beyond any applicable
grace period in the obligations of Tenant under this Lease shall exist at the
time such notice is given and (c) Tenant shall not have been in default under
this Lease beyond any applicable grace period on more than two (2) occasions
during the entire preceding Lease Term. All of the terms and provisions of this
Lease shall be applicable during each Option Period except that (a) Tenant shall
have no option to extend the term of this Lease beyond the second Option Period
and (b) the Base Rent for each Option Period shall be the greater of (i) the
Base Rent for the last year of the Lease Term or the first Option Period, as the
case may be, or (iii) Market Rent, as defined below, as of the first day of such
Option Period.
"Market Rent" shall be computed as of the applicable date at the then
current rentals being charged to new tenants for comparable space located in
comparable buildings, taking into
3
account and giving effect to, in determining comparability, without limitation,
such considerations as size, location and condition of premises and lease term.
Landlord shall designate Market Rent for the next Option Period within
thirty (30) days after Tenant's written request, therefor (such request to be
made no earlier than one (1) year before such Option Period).
If Landlord shall not have previously designated Market Rent, after Tenant
shall exercise an option to extend for an Option Period, Landlord shall
initially designate Market Rent and shall furnish data in support of such
designation. If Tenant shall have exercised its option to extend for the Option
Period but shall disagree with Landlord's designation of the Market Rent, then
Tenant shall have the right, by notice given within fourteen (14) days after
Tenant's receipt of Landlord's designation, to submit such Market Rent to
arbitration as follows. Market Rent shall be determined by arbitrators, one
chosen by Tenant, one chosen by Landlord and a third selected, if necessary, as
below provided. All arbitrators selected under this Section shall be experienced
real estate appraisers with substantial experience with properties in the
vicinity of the Premises. If within fourteen (14) days after Tenant's notice the
parties shall agree upon a single arbitrator or if one party shall fail to
select an arbitrator, the arbitrator selected by the other shall be the sole
arbitrator, and Market Rent shall be determined by such arbitrator. The
unanimous written decision of the two first chosen (or the decision of the
first, if a second arbitrator is not chosen) without selection and participation
of a third arbitrator, or otherwise the written decision of a majority of the
three arbitrators chosen and selected as provided herein, shall be conclusive
and binding upon Landlord and Tenant. Landlord and Tenant shall each notify the
other of its chosen arbitrator within fourteen (14) days following the call for
arbitration, and, unless such two arbitrators shall have either reached a
unanimous decision within thirty (30) days after their designation or jointly
selected a third arbitrator, they shall so notify the then President of the
local Real Estate Board and request him to select an impartial third arbitrator
to act hereunder, or if such individual does not exist or is unavailable, then
they shall apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to select an impartial
third arbitrator. Such third arbitrator and the first two chosen shall hear the
parties and their evidence and render their decision within thirty (30) days
following the conclusion of such hearing and notify Landlord and Tenant thereof.
Landlord and Tenant shall bear the expense of the third arbitrator (if any)
equally. If the dispute between
4
the parties as to Market Rent shall not have been resolved before the
commencement of Tenant's obligation to pay rent based upon Market Rent, then
Tenant shall pay rent based upon the Market Rent designated by Landlord until
either the agreement of the parties as to the Market Rent or the decision of the
arbitrators, as the case may be, at which time Tenant shall pay any underpayment
of rent to Landlord or Landlord shall refund any overpayment of rent to Tenant.
3.03 Intentionally Omitted.
3.04 Holding Over. Tenant shall vacate the Premises upon the expiration or
earlier termination of this Lease. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for and
indemnify Landlord against all damages, costs, liabilities and expenses,
including attorneys' fees, which Landlord shall incur on account of Tenant's
delay in so vacating the Premises. If Tenant shall not vacate The Premises upon
the expiration or earlier termination of this lease, the Base Rent shall be
increased to 250% of the Base Rent then in effect and Tenant's obligation to pay
Additional Rent shall continue, but nothing herein shall limit any of Landlord's
rights or Tenant's obligations arising from, Tenant's failure to vacate the
Premises, including, without limitation, Landlord's right to repossess the
Premises and remove Tenant therefrom at any time after the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease and Tenant's obligation to reimburse and indemnify
Landlord as provided in the preceding sentence.
3.05 Tenant's Termination Option. Tenant shall have the right, to terminate
this Lease effective June 30, 2000 (Tenant's Termination Option), provided that
(i) Tenant shall give notice to Landlord of the exercise of Tenant's option
("Tenant's Termination Notice") not later than January 1, 2000, the time of
exercise being of the essence; (ii) Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as an early
termination penalty, the sum of one month's Base Rent, simultaneously with the
delivery of Tenant's Termination Notice; (iii) this Lease shall be in full force
and effect as of the date of Tenant's Termination Notice and on June 30, 2000;
and (iv) Tenant shall not be in default hereunder, beyond any applicable notice
or grace period on the date Tenant sends the Tenant Termination Notice and on
June 30, 2000. If Tenant shall have complied with the foregoing provisions of
this Article 3.05, this Lease and the Lease Term shall expire on June 30, 2000,
with the same force and effect as though said date were the expiration date.

ARTICLE FOUR: RENT
4.01 Base Rent. On the first day of each month during the Lease Term, Tenant
shall pay to Landlord the Base Rent as described in Section 1.15 in lawful money
of the United States, in advance and without offset, deduction, or prior demand.
The Base Rent shall be payable at Landlord's address or at such other place or
to such other person as Landlord may designate in writing from time to time.
4.02 Additional Rent. All sums payable by Tenant under this Lease other than
Base Rent shall be deemed "Additional Rent;" the term "Rent" shall mean Base
Rent and Additional Rent. Landlord shall estimate in advance and charge to
Tenant the following costs, TO BE PAID WITH THE BASE RENT ON A MONTHLY BASIS
THROUGHOUT THE LEASE TERM; (i) ALL REAL PROPERTY TAXES for which Tenant is
liable under Section 5.01 and 5.02 of the Lease, (ii) ALL UTILITY COSTS (IF
UTILITIES ARE NOT SEPARATELY METERED) for which Tenant is liable under Section
6.01 of the Lease, (iii) ALL INSURANCE PREMIUMS for which Tenant is liable under
Sections 7.01 and 7.08 of the Lease, (iv) ALL CAM EXPENSES FOR which Tenant is
liable under Section 8.04 of the Lease. Collectively, the aforementioned Real
Property Taxes, insurance, utility, and CAM Expenses shall be referred to as the
"Total Operating Costs." Landlord may adjust its estimate of Total Operating
Costs at any time based upon Landlord's experience and reasonable anticipation
of costs. Such adjustments shall be effective as of the next Rent payment date
after notice to Tenant. WITHIN 120 DAYS AFTER THE END OF EACH FISCAL YEAR (which
shall be the calendar year for this Lease) during the Lease Term, Landlord shall
deliver to Tenant a statement prepared in ACCORDANCE WITH GENERALLY ACCEPTED
ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES SETTING FORTH, IN REASONABLE DETAIL, the Total Operating
Costs paid or incurred by Landlord during the preceding fiscal year and Tenant's
Pro Rata Share of such expenses. Within thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt
of such statement, there shall be an adjustment between Landlord and Tenant,
with payment to or credit given by Landlord (as the case may be) in order that
Landlord shall receive the entire amount of Tenant's share of such costs and
expenses for such period. In addition to its obligation to pay Base Rent and its
Pro Rata Share of Total Operating Expenses, Tenant is required hereunder to pay
directly to suppliers, vendors, carriers, contractors, etc. certain insurance
premiums, utility costs, personal property taxes, maintenance and repair, costs
and other expenses, collectively "Additional Expenses." If Landlord pays for any
Additional Expenses in accordance with the terms of this Lease, Tenant's
obligation to reimburse such costs shall be an Additional Rent obligation
payable in full with the
6
next monthly Rent payment. Unless this Lease provides otherwise, Tenant shall
pay all Additional Rent then due with the next monthly installment of Base Rent.
4.03 Late Charge. Tenant hereby acknowledges that late payment by Tenant to
Landlord of Rent and other amounts due hereunder will cause Landlord to incur
costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be
extremely difficult to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to,
processing and accounting charges, and late charges which may be imposed on
Landlord by the terms of any loan secured by the Building. Accordingly, if any
installment of Rent or any other sums due from Tenant shall not be received by
Landlord within five days following the due date, Tenant shall pay to Landlord a
late charge equal to five percent of such overdue amount. The parties hereby
agree that such late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the
costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. Acceptance of
such late charge by Landlord shall in no event constitute a waiver of Tenant's
default with respect to such overdue amount, nor prevent Landlord from
exercising any of the other rights and remedies granted hereunder.
4.04 Interest. Any Rent or other amount due to Landlord, if not paid when due,
shall bear interest from the date due until paid at the rate of 15% per annum or
the highest rate permitted by law, whichever is less, provided that interest
shall not be payable on late charges incurred by Tenant nor on any amounts upon
which late charges are paid by Tenant to the extent such interest would cause
the total interest to be in excess of that legally permitted. Payment of
interest shall not excuse or cure any default hereunder by Tenant.
4.05 Tenant's Pro Rata Share. Tenant's Pro Rata Share shall be 100%.
ARTICLE FIVE: PROPERTY TAXES
5.01 Real Property Taxes. Tenant shall pay Tenant's Pro Rata Share of Real
Property Taxes on the Premises payable during the Lease Term. Tenant shall make
such payments in accordance with Section 4.02. If Landlord shall receive a
refund of any Real Property Taxes with respect to which Tenant shall have paid
Tenant's Pro Rata Share, Landlord shall refund to Tenant Tenant's Pro Rata Share
of such refund after deducting therefrom the costs and expenses incurred in
connection therewith.
7
5.02 Definition of "Real Property Tax." "Real Property Tax" shall mean taxes,
assessments (special, betterment, or otherwise), levies, fees, rent taxes,
excises, impositions, charges water and sewer rents and charges, and all other
government levies and charges, general and special, ordinary and extraordinary,
foreseen and unforeseen, which are imposed or levied upon or assessed against
the Premises or any Rent or other sums payable by any tenants or occupants
thereof. Real Property Tax shall include Landlord's costs and expenses of
contesting any Real Property Tax. If at any time during the term the present
system of ad valorem taxation of real property shall be changed so that in lieu
of the whole or any part of the ad valorem tax on real property, or in lieu of
increases therein, there shall be assessed on Landlord a capital levy or other
tax on the gross rents received with respect to the Premises or a federal,
state, county, municipal, or other local income, franchise, excise or similar
tax, assessment, levy, or charge (distinct from any now in effect) measured by
or based, in whole or in part, upon gross rents, then all of such taxes,
assessments, levies, or charges, to the extent so measured or based ("Substitute
Taxes"), shall be deemed to be a Real Property Tax.
5.03 Personal Property Taxes. Tenant shall pay directly all taxes charged
against trade fixtures furnishings, equipment, inventory, or any other personal
property belonging to Tenant. Tenant shall use its best efforts to have personal
property taxed separately from the Premises. If any of Tenant's personal
property shall be taxed with the Premises, Tenant shall pay Landlord the taxes
for such personal property within fifteen (15) days after Tenant receives a
written statement from Landlord for such personal Property taxes.
ARTICLE SIX: UTILITIES
6.01 Utilities. Tenant shall promptly pay, directly to the appropriate
supplier, the cost of all natural gas, heat, cooling energy, light, power, sewer
service, telephone, water, refuse disposal and other utilities and services
supplied to the Premises, allocable to the Lease Term together with any related

Landlord shall not be liable for damages, consequential or otherwise, nor shall
there be any rent abatement arising out of any curtailment or interruption
whatsoever in utility services.

obligations to Landlord under Section 7.09. The amount and coverage of such
insurance shall not limit Tenant's liability nor relieve Tenant of any other
obligation under this Lease. Landlord may also obtain commercial general
liability insurance in an amount and with coverage determined by Landlord

obtained by Landlord shall not provide primary insurance, shall not be
contributory and shall be excess over any insurance maintained by Tenant.

Physical Loss (All Risk), as well as against sprinkler damage, vandalism, and
malicious mischief. Any proceeds from the Personal Property insurance shall be
used for the repair or replacement of the property damaged or destroyed, unless
this Lease is terminated under an applicable provision herein. Tenant may
satisfy the requirement for insurance under this Section 7.04 by self insuring,
provided that at all times while so self insuring (i) Tenant maintains a net
worth of at least $150,000,000 and (ii) promptly upon written request from
Landlord (which may be given from time to time), Tenant shall deliver to

to be done which shall invalidate any such insurance.
7.07 Payment of Insurance Premiums. Landlord shall pay the premiums of the
insurance policies maintained by Landlord under Section 7.06 and Section 7.01
(if applicable), and Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for Tenant's Pro Rata Share
of such premiums in accordance with Section 4.02. Tenant shall pay directly the
premiums of the insurance policies maintained by Tenant under Sections 7.01,
7.02, 7.03, 7.04, and 7.05.
10
7.08 General Insurance Provisions.
7.08(a) Any insurance which Tenant shall be required to maintain under
this Lease shall include a provision which requires the insurance carrier
to give Landlord not less than thirty (30) days' written notice prior to
any cancellation or modification of such coverage.
7.08(b) Prior to the earlier of Tenant's entry into the Premises or the
commencement of the Lease Term, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an
insurance company certificate that Tenant maintains the insurance required
by Sections 7.01, 7.02, 7.03, 7.04 and 7.05 and not less than thirty (30)
days prior to the expiration or termination of any such insurance, Tenant
shall deliver to Landlord renewal certificates therefor. Tenant shall
provide Landlord with copies of the policies promptly upon request from
time to time. If Tenant shall fail to deliver any certificate or renewal
certificate to Landlord required under this Lease within the prescribed
time period or if any such policy shall be canceled or modified during the
Lease Term without Landlord's consent, Landlord may obtain such insurance,
in which case Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent, for
110% of the cost of such insurance within ten (10) days after receipt of a
statement of the cost of such insurance.
7.08(c) Tenant shall maintain all insurance required under this Lease
with companies legally qualified to issue such insurance in New Jersey and
reasonably acceptable to Landlord.
7.08(d) Landlord and Tenant, on behalf of themselves and their insurers,
each hereby waive any and all rights of recovery against the other, or
against the officers, partners, employees, agents, or representatives of
the other, for loss of or damage to its property or the property of others
under its control, if such loss or damage shall be covered by any
insurance policy in force (whether or not described in this Lease) at the
time of such loss or damage, or required to be carried under this Article
Seven. All property insurance carried by either party shall contain a
waiver of subrogation against the other party to the extent such right
shall have been waived by the insured party prior to the occurrence of
loss or injury.
11
7.09 Indemnity. As such waiver does not violate public policy and insurance is
available to protect it, Tenant hereby waives all claims against Landlord, its
agents, employees, officers, directors, partners and shareholders, (collectively
"the Indemnitees") for damage to any property or injury to or death of any
person in, upon or about the Premises arising at any time and from any cause,
and Tenant shall hold Indemnitees harmless from and defend Indemnitees from and
against all claims, liabilities, judgments, demands, causes of action, losses,
damages, costs and expenses including seasonable attorney's fees for damage to
any property or injury to or death of any person arising in or from the
negligence or willful misconduct of Tenant, its employees, agents, contractors,
or invitees in, upon or about the Premises. The foregoing shall include
investigation cost; and all the costs and expenses incurred by Landlord from the
first notice that any claim or demand is to be made or may be made. The
provisions of this Section 7.08 shall survive the expiration or termination of
this Lease with respect to any damage, injury, or death occurring prior to such
time.
7.10 Landlord's Indemnity. Landlord shall defend, with counsel reasonably
approved by Tenant, all actions against Tenant, its agents, employees, officers,
directors, partners and shareholders (collectively "the Indemnitees") with
respect to, and shall pay, protect, indemnify and save harmless to the extent
permitted by law the Indemnitees from and against, all liabilities, losses,
damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses),
causes of action, suits, claims, demands or judgments of any nature arising from
injury to or death of any person or damage to or loss of property occurring at
the Property caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Landlord to the
extent the same shall not be covered by any insurance maintained or required to
be maintained by any of the Indemnitees.

paid by Landlord in terminating this Lease, and the expenses of reletting,
including, without limitation, altering and preparing the premises for new
tenants, brokers' commissions, legal fees and all other similar and
dissimilar expenses properly chargeable against the Premises and the rental
therefrom, it being understood that any such reletting may be for a period
equal to or shorter or longer than the remaining Lease Term; and provided,

or other proceedings.
