the premises or any part thereof.
Restriction of use

to any mortgages that may hereafter be placed upon said premises. The recording
of such mortgage or mortgages shall have preference and precedence and be
superior and prior in lien to this lease, irrespective of the date of recording
and the Tenant agrees to execute any instruments, without cost, which may be
deemed necessary or desirable, to further effect the subordination of this lease
to any such mortgage or mortgages. A refusal by the Tenant to execute such
instruments shall entitle the Landlord to the option of cancelling this lease,
and the term hereof is hereby expressly limited accordingly.
Condemnation
Eminent Domain
12th: If the land and premises leased herein, or of which the leased
premises are a part, or any portion thereof, shall be taken under eminent domain
or condemnation proceedings, or if suit or other action shall be instituted for
the taking or condemnation thereof, or if in lieu of any formal condemnation
proceedings or actions, the Landlord shall grant an option to purchase and or
shall sell and convey the said premises or any portion thereof, to the
governmental or other public authority, agency, body or public utility, seeking
to take said land and premises or any portion thereof, then this lease, at the
option of the Landlord, shall terminate, and the term hereof shall end as of
such date as the Landlord shall fix by notice in writing; and the Tenant shall
have no claim or right to claim or be entitled to any portion of any amount
which may be awarded as damages or paid as the result of such condemnation
proceedings or paid as the purchase price for such option, sale or conveyance in
lieu of formal condemnation proceedings; and all rights of the Tenant to
damages, if any, are hereby assigned to the Landlord. The Tenant agrees to
execute and deliver any instruments, at the expense of the Landlord, as may be
deemed necessary or required to expedite any condemnation proceedings or to
effectuate a proper transfer of title to such governmental or other public
authority, agency, body or public utility seeking to take or acquire the said
lands and premises or any portion thereof. The Tenant covenants and agrees to
vacate the said premises, remove all the Tenant's personal property therefrom
and deliver up peaceable possession thereof to the Landlord or to such other
party designated by the Landlord in the aforementioned notice. Failure by the
Tenant to comply with any provisions in this clause shall subject the Tenant to
such costs, expenses, damages and losses as the Landlord may incur by reason of
the Tenant's breach hereof.
Fire and other Casualty
13th: In case of fire or other casualty, the Tenant shall give immediate
notice to the Landlord. If the premises shall be partially damaged by fire, the
elements or other casualty, the Landlord shall repair the same as speedily as
practicable, but the Tenant's obligation to pay the rent hereunder shall not
cease. If, in the opinion of the Landlord, the premises be so extensively and
substantially damaged as to render them untenantable, then the rent shall cease
until such time as the premises shall be made tenantable by the Landlord.
However, if, in the opinion of the Landlord, the premises be totally destroyed
or so extensively and substantially damaged as to require practically a
rebuilding thereof, then the rent shall be paid up to the time of such
destruction and then and from thenceforth this lease shall come to an end. In no
event however, shall the provisions of this clause become effective or be
applicable, if the fire or other casualty and damage shall be the result of the
carelessness, negligence or improper conduct of the Tenant or the Tenant's
agents, employees, guests, licensees, invitees, subtenants, assignees or
successors. In such case, the Tenant's liability for the payment of the rent and
the performance of all the covenants, conditions and terms hereof on the
Tenant's part to be performed shall continue and the Tenant shall be liable to
the Landlord for the damage and loss suffered by the Landlord. If the Tenant
shall have been insured against any of the risks herein covered, then the
proceeds of such insurance shall be paid over to the Landlord to the extent of
the Landlord's costs and expenses to make the repairs hereunder, and such
insurance carriers shall have no recourse against the Landlord for
reimbursement.
Reimbursement of Landlord
14th: If the Tenant shall fail or refuse to comply with and perform any
conditions and covenants of the within lease, the Landlord may, if the Landlord
so elects, carry out and perform such conditions and covenants, at the cost and
expense of the Tenant, and the said cost and expense shall be payable on demand,
or at the option of the Landlord shall be added to the installment of rent due
immediately thereafter but in no case later than one month after such demand,
whichever occurs sooner, and shall be due and payable as such. This remedy shall
be in addition to such other remedies as the Landlord may have hereunder by
reason of the breach by the Tenant of any of the covenants and conditions in
this lease contained.
Inspection and Repair
15th: The Tenant agrees that the Landlord and the Landlord's agents,
employees or other representatives, shall have the right to enter into and upon
the said premises or any part thereof, at all reasonable hours, for the purpose
of examining the same or making such repairs or alterations therein as may be
necessary for the safety and preservation thereof. This clause shall not be
deemed to be a covenant by the Landlord nor be construed to create an obligation
on the part of the Landlord to make such inspection or repairs.
Right to Exhibit
16th: The Tenant agrees to permit the Landlord and the Landlord's agents,
employees or other representatives to show the premises to persons wishing to
rent or purchase the same, and Tenant agrees that on and after one (1) year next
preceding the expiration of the term hereof, the Landlord or the Landlord's
agents, employees or other representatives shall have the right to place notices
on the front of said premises or any part thereof, offering the premises for
rent or for sale; and the Tenant hereby agrees to permit the same to remain
thereon without hindrance or molestation.
Increase of Insurance Rates
17th: If for any reason it shall be impossible to obtain fire and other
hazard insurance on the buildings and improvements on the leased premises, in an
amount and in the form and in insurance companies acceptable to the Landlord,
the Landlord may, if the Landlord so elects at any time thereafter, terminate
this lease and the term hereof, upon giving to the Tenant fifteen days notice in
writing of the Landlord's intention so to do, and upon the giving of such
notice, this lease and the term thereof shall terminate. If by reason of the use
to which the premises are put by the Tenant or character of or the manner in
which the Tenant's business is carried on, the insurance rates for fire and
other hazards shall be increased, the Tenant shall upon demand, pay to the
Landlord, as rent, the amounts by which the premiums for such insurance are
increased. Such payment shall be paid with the next installment of rent but in
no case later than one month after such demand, whichever occurs sooner.
Removal of Tenant's Property
18th: Any equipment, fixtures, goods or other property of the Tenant, not
removed by the Tenant upon the termination of this lease, or upon any quitting,
vacating or abandonment of the premises by the Tenant, or upon the Tenant's
eviction, shall be considered as abandoned and the Landlord shall have the
right, without any notice to the Tenant, to sell or otherwise dispose of the
same, at the expense of the Tenant, and shall not be accountable to the Tenant
for any part of the proceeds of such sale, if any.
Remedies upon Tenant's Default
19th: If there should occur any default on the part of the Tenant in the
performance of any conditions and covenants herein contained, or if during the
term hereof the premises or any part thereof shall be or become abandoned or
deserted, vacated or vacant, or should the Tenant be evicted by summary
proceedings or otherwise, the Landlord, in addition to any other remedies herein
contained or as may be permitted by law, may either by force or otherwise,
without being liable for prosecution therefor, or for damages, re-enter the said
premises and the same have and again possess and enjoy; and as agent for the
Tenant or otherwise, re-let the premises and receive the rents therefor and
apply the same, first to the payment of such expenses, reasonable attorney fees
and costs, as the Landlord may have been put to in re-entering and repossessing
the same and in making such repairs and alterations as may be necessary; and
second to the payment of the rents due hereunder. The Tenant shall remain liable
for such rents as may be in arrears and also the rents as may accrue subsequent
to the re-entry by the Landlord, to the extent of the difference between the
rents reserved hereunder and the rents, if any, received by the Landlord during
the remainder of the unexpired term hereof, after deducting the aforementioned
expenses, fees and costs; the same to be paid as such deficiencies arise and are
ascertained each month.
Termination on Default
20th: Upon the occurrence of any of the contingencies set forth in the
preceding clause, or should the Tenant be adjudicated a bankrupt, insolvent or
placed in receivership, or should proceedings be instituted by or against the
Tenant for bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, agreement of composition or
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if this lease or the estate of the
Tenant hereunder shall pass to another by virtue of any court proceedings, writ
of execution, levy, sale, or by operation of law, the Landlord may, if the
Landlord so elects, at any time thereafter, terminate this lease and the term
hereof, upon giving to the Tenant or to any trustee, receiver, assignee or other
person in charge of or acting as custodian of the assets or property of the
Tenant, five days notice in writing, of the Landlord's intention so to do. Upon
the giving of such notice, this lease and the term hereof shall end on the date
fixed in such notice as if the said date was the date originally fixed in this
lease for the expiration hereof; and the Landlord shall have the right to remove
all persons, goods, fixtures and chattels therefrom, by force or otherwise,
without liability for damages.
Non-Liability of Landlord
21st: The Landlord shall not be liable for any damage or injury which may
be sustained by the Tenant or any other person, as a consequence of the failure,

improper conduct on the part of any other Tenant or of the Landlord or the
Landlord's or this or any other Tenant's agents, employees, guests, licensees,
invitees, subtenants, assignees or successors; or attributable to any
interference with, interruption of or failure, beyond the control of the
landlord, of any services to be furnished or supplied by the Landlord.
Non-Waiver by Landlord
22nd: The various rights, remedies, options and elections of the Landlord,
expressed herein, are cumulative, and the failure of the Landlord to enforce
strict performance by the Tenant of the conditions and covenants of this lease
or to exercise any election or option or to resort or have recourse to any
remedy herein conferred or the acceptance by the Landlord of any installment of
rent after any breach by the Tenant, in any one or more instances, shall not be
construed or deemed to be a waiver or a relinquishment for the future by the
Landlord of any such conditions and covenants, options, elections or remedies,
but the same shall continue in full force and effect.
Non-Performance by Landlord
23rd: This lease and the obligation of the Tenant to pay the rent hereunder
and to comply with the covenants and conditions hereof, shall not be affected,
curtailed, impaired or excused because of the Landlord's inability to supply any
service or material called for herein, by reason of any rule, order, regulation
or preemption by any governmental entity, authority, department, agency or
subdivision or for any delay which may arise by reason of negotiations for the
adjustment of any fire or other casualty loss or because of strikes or other
labor trouble or for any cause beyond the control of the Landlord.
Validity of Lease
24th: The terms, conditions, covenants and provisions of this lease shall
be deemed to be severable. If any clause or provision herein contained shall be
adjudged to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction or
by operation of any applicable law, it shall not affect the validity of any
other clause or provision herein, but such other clauses or provisions shall
remain in full force and effect.

shall be complete by personal delivery or by mailing such notices by certified

thereafter, at the Tenant's own cost and expense, cause such lien or liens to be

RIDER ANNEXED TO AND INCORPORATED WITHIN
LEASE AGREEMENT DATED May 5, 1983 BETWEEN
JAM REALTY COMPANY, LANDLORD, AND
COMMUNITY DISTRIBUTORS, INC., TENANT.
The Landlord and the Tenant in the annexed Lease Agreement do further
agree, on this 5th day of May, 1983, by and between themselves, as follows:
1. The Lease Agreement shall commence as of the date that Landlord acquires
title to the demised premises referred to in said Lease Agreement; and,
providing that same is the first day of a month, the term of the Lease Agreement
shall run for a period of fifteen (15) years from the commencement date. In the
event that the commencement date is a date other than the first day of a month,
the term of the Lease Agreement shall run for a period consisting of (a) the
balance of the month in which the commencement date occurs, plus (b) a period of
fifteen (15) years beginning as of the first day of the following month. If the
provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall apply, then the Landlord
and the Tenant shall pro-rate the first fractional month's rental based upon the
number of days in that month. The parties agree to confirm in writing the exact
commencement and termination dates of the Lease Agreement as soon as same are
known.
2. In addition to its insurance obligations set forth in the Lease
Agreement, the Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall keep the demised
premises insured for the mutual benefit of Landlord, any mortgagee requested by
Landlord and Tenant during the term of this Lease Agreement, for the following:
(a) Against loss or damage by fire and against loss or damage by other
risks now or hereafter embraced by "Extended Coverage", so-called, with
replacement cost (depreciation) endorsement, in amounts sufficient to prevent
Landlord or Tenant from becoming a co-insurer under the terms of the applicable
policies, but in any event in an amount not less than the then "full replacement
cost" without any deduction for physical depreciation of the Improvements. Such
"full replacement cost" shall be determined at Tenant's sole cost and expense
from time to time (but not more frequently than once in any twenty-four (24)
calendar months) at the request of Landlord, by an appraiser, engineer,
architect or contractor designated by Tenant and approved in writing by Landlord
(such approval not to be unreasonably withheld). No omission on the part of
Landlord to request any such determination shall relieve Tenant of any of its
obligations under this paragraph; and
(b) Against such other risks, and for such amounts and on such terms, as
the Landlord may reasonably designate from time to time.
The policy or policies of insurance for the foregoing shall be of a company
or companies authorized to do business in this State and shall be delivered to
the Landlord, together with evidence of the payment of the premiums therefor,
not less than fifteen days prior to the commencement of the term hereof or of
the date when the Tenant shall enter into possession, whichever occurs sooner.
At least fifteen days prior to the expiration or termination date of any policy,
the Tenant shall deliver a renewal or replacement policy with proof of the
payment of the premium therefor.
3. The Tenant shall pay fully, and on or before the dates when same are
due, directly to the governmental authority or authorities or agency or agencies
involved, all real estate taxes, duties, assessments (special or otherwise),
water and sewer rents, whether ordinary or extraordinary, general or special,
foreseen or unforeseen, of any kind and nature whatsoever, which at any time
during the term of this Lease Agreement shall be assessed, levied, confirmed,
imposed upon or grow out of, or become due and payable in respect of, or become
a lien on or be attributable in any manner to the demised premises, or the rents
receivable therefrom, or any part thereof or any use thereon or any facility
located therein or used in connection therewith or any charge or other payment
required to be paid to any governmental authority, whether or not any of the
foregoing shall be a so-called "real estate tax" (all of which are hereinafter
referred to as "Impositions"). All Impositions or installments thereof payable
with respect to the tax year in which this Lease Agreement shall commence, and
all Impositions or installments thereof with respect to the tax year in which
this Lease Agreement shall terminate, shall be apportioned, except any
Imposition which becomes a lien during the term, which Landlord shall elect to
pay in installments as may be provided by law, shall, to the extent otherwise
payable pursuant to this Lease, be paid in full prior to the expiration of the
Term of this Lease as if the Landlord had not elected to pay the same in
installments. The Tenant shall, promptly following its payment of all of the
foregoing Impositions, furnish the Landlord with proof of payment of same.
4. It is the intention of the Landlord and the Tenant that the rent herein
specified shall be net to the Landlord in each year during the term of this
Lease Agreement, that all costs, expenses and obligations of every kind relating
to the demised premises which may arise or become due during the term of this
Lease Agreement, shall be paid by the Tenant, and that the Landlord shall be
indemnified by the Tenant against all such costs, expenses and obligations. The
net rent shall be paid to the Landlord without notice or demand and without any
abatement, deduction, or setoff.
5. This Lease Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New Jersey.
6. In the event of any inconsistencies between the provisions of this Lease
Agreement and the provisions of this Rider, the provisions of the Rider shall
govern.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have hereunto set their hands and
seals, or caused these presents to be signed by their proper corporate officers
and their proper corporate seal to be hereto affixed, the day and year first
above written.
