(a) Title to the Property shall be conveyed by the Seller by
Bargain and Sale Deed with Covenant As To Grantor's Acts, free and clear of all
liens and encumbrances except for (i) municipal zoning ordinances and applicable
governmental regulations, provided none of the foregoing will render title
unmarketable or materially interfere with the Buyer's intended use of the
Property, and (ii) current taxes not then due and payable ((i) and (ii) being
collectively referred to as "Permitted Encumbrances"). The title to be conveyed

company at or prior to Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller shall

the payment of a liquidated sum of money. If the Seller advises the Buyer within
said 5-day period that the Seller is unable or unwilling to cure the Title
Objections, the Buyer may either (i) waive its Title Objections and proceed to
Closing without abatement of the Purchase Price, or (ii) terminate this
Agreement by notice to the Seller given not later than ten (10) days after
receipt by the Buyer of notice from the Seller that the Seller is unable or
unwilling to cure Title Objections. If the Seller does not respond to the Buyer
within said 5-day period, the Seller shall be deemed to have agreed to cure or
remove all such Title Objections.

(d) In the event that this Agreement is terminated by reason
of the provisions contained in this Paragraph, the Buyer shall be entitled to
receive from the Seller the return of the Deposit (together with all interest
earned thereon) and reimbursement from the Seller of all actual costs and
expenses theretofore incurred by the Buyer in connection with procuring a title
report and survey.

whether the Property is suitable for purchase by the Buyer. Such due diligence
may include, without limitation, (A) a review of existing zoning and other
ordinances applicable to the Property, (B) a review of the physical condition of
the Improvements on the Property, including a structural inspection and an
inspection of the systems serving the Property, and (C) a review of the
environmental condition of the Property, including a Phase I environmental site

environmental tests and inspections deemed reasonably necessary or advisable.
Buyer may, by notice to Seller's attorney prior to the expiration of such 30-day
period, extend the Due Diligence Period for an additional ten (10) days if Buyer
shall not have received all written reports and studies commissioned by Buyer
during such 30-day period. Such extended Due Diligence Period shall be referred
to herein as the "Extended Diligence Period".

(b) The Buyer may terminate this Agreement upon written
notice to the Seller prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period or the
Extended Diligence Period, as the case may be, if Buyer determines in its sole
and absolute discretion the Property is not suitable for Buyer's intended use,
or any condition exists which may materially interfere with Buyer's intended

-4-
<PAGE>
use of the Property or any portion thereof. In such event, this Agreement shall
terminate, the Deposit, together with any interest earned thereon, shall be
returned to the Buyer and no party shall have any further rights or obligations
hereunder except as expressly stated herein to the contrary.

(c) During the term of this Agreement, the Seller shall
provide the Buyer and Buyer's agents, professionals and contractors reasonable
access to the Property at reasonable hours.

all agreements affecting the Property; all surveys, plans, and all engineering,
environmental reports, copies of all leases, service agreements, insurance
policies and copies of all permits. Seller represents that such materials and
documents previously delivered to Buyer, together with those materials and
documents which are being delivered to Buyer contemporaneously herewith, are all
of the materials, documents and information relating to the Property that Seller
has in its actual or constructive possession or control as of the date of this
Agreement. Seller shall have the continuing obligation during the term of this
Agreement to promptly deliver all such materials and documents as shall come
into Seller's possession from time to time, whether in response to a current or
previous request by Buyer, and as necessary to make Seller's foregoing
representation continue to be true and current until Closing.

Property resulting from the Buyer's entry onto the Property during the Due
Diligence Period pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph.

Jersey Department of Environmental Protection ("NJDEP") requesting a letter of

contemplated hereby is not subject to the provisions of ISRA. The Seller shall
deliver a copy of the LNA, together with a copy of the Application/Affidavit in
request therefor, to the Buyer at or prior to Closing.

(b) In the event that the Seller is unable to obtain an LNA
because the Property and/or the transaction is subject to ISRA, the Seller shall
have the obligation to comply fully with the terms of ISRA (including without
limitation to perform any remediation or other work necessary) and to deliver to
the Buyer at or prior to Closing a "no further action" letter from

pursuant to this subparagraph by the Closing Date, and if Seller has completed
the remediation work described herein and shall have fulfilled all other
obligations and conditions precedent to Closing as set forth in this Agreement,
Seller may adjourn the Closing Date for sixty (60) days in order to obtain the
above-referenced "no further action" letter from NJDEP. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if, in the Buyer's reasonable judgment, the Seller will be unable to
complete such remediation work by the Closing Date, the Buyer shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the Seller.

by the Closing Date, and if Seller has fulfilled all other obligations and
conditions precedent to Closing as set forth in this Agreement, Seller may
adjourn the Closing Date for sixty (60) days in order to obtain the
above-referenced "no further action" letter from NJDEP. The sixty (60) day
adjournment set forth in subparagraph 6(b) and this subparagraph 6(c) shall run
concurrently, such that Seller shall be entitled to no more than sixty (60) days
of adjournment in the aggregate.

(d) The Seller hereby agrees to and shall indemnify and hold
the Buyer harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses,

Post Closing Lease shall expire on April 30, 2002; provided, however, that the

have entered into a contract to sell the Business as a going concern and

buyer of the Business at (but not prior to) the closing of the sale of the
Business; provided, that the Buyer shall have received no less than ten (10)

Additional Rent within five (5) days after delivery to Tenant of bills therefor.

6. UTILITIES. If Tenant shall require utility services, Tenant
shall, at its own cost and expense, arrange for or provide utility connections
and service to the Leased Property, and shall pay all utility meter, connection
and service charges, including those for gas, sewer, electricity, water and
standby sprinkler and any deposits required by utility suppliers. Landlord shall
not be required to furnish any utilities to Tenant.

7. DESTRUCTION. [Intentionally omitted from the Pre Closing
Lease.]

8. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Tenant, at its expense, shall comply
with the Approvals and with all laws, orders, ordinances, regulations and
requirements of Regulatory Authorities and directions made pursuant to law by
any public officer or officers which, in respect of the Leased Property or the

Tenant arising from (a) Tenant's occupancy, use or manner of use of the Leased
Property, (b) any installations, equipment or other property therein, (c) any
cause or condition created by or at the instance of Tenant, or (d) any breach of

Additional Rent hereunder, promptly upon being billed therefor, amounts equal to
all costs, expenses, fines, penalties and damages which may be imposed upon or
incurred by Landlord by reason of or arising out of Tenant's failure to fully
and promptly comply with and observe the provisions of this Section. Tenant
shall give prompt notice to Landlord of any notice that Tenant may receive of

the Leased Property as and when needed to keep and maintain them in good working
order and condition. In addition, Tenant shall be responsible, at its sole cost
and expense, for making all repairs, wherever on or with respect to the Leased
Property occurring, the need for which is caused by or arises out of (i) the
performance or existence of any Tenant's construction work or alterations, (ii)
the moving of any property of Tenant in or out of the Property, and (iii) the
acts, omission, neglect, improper conduct or other cause of Tenant or any of its
permitted sublessees, or its or their employees, agents, contractors, visitors,
licensees or invitees.

6
<PAGE>
(b) All repairs, maintenance and replacements which
Tenant is responsible for pursuant to this Section shall be performed in
accordance with the requirements of this Article. If Tenant fails to make any
repairs, restorations or replacements for which Tenant is responsible under this
Lease, Landlord, after notice to Tenant and reasonable opportunity to do so,
except in an emergency when no notice shall be required, may (but shall not be
obligated to) make same and Landlord's costs of doing so shall be collectible as
Additional Rent hereunder and shall be paid by Tenant to Landlord within five
(5) days after rendition of Landlord's bill or statement therefor.

9.2 Limitation in Liability. Except as otherwise may be expressly
provided in this Lease, Landlord shall have no liability to Tenant, nor shall
Tenant's covenants and obligations under this Lease be reduced or abated in any
manner whatsoever by reason of any inconvenience, annoyance, interruption or
injury to business arising from Landlord's making any repairs or changes which
Landlord is required or permitted by this Lease, or required by law, to make in
or to any portion of the Property.

9.3 Tenant Changes.

(a) Tenant shall make no alterations, decorations,
installations, additions or improvements in or to the Leased Property ("Tenant
Changes") or perform any other work without Landlord's prior written consent,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however,
that Tenant may perform such work as shall be necessary or advisable to prepare
the Leased Property for the Permitted Use, including but not limited to, the
eight foot high construction fence shown on Exhibit A. All Tenant Changes shall
be done at Tenant's sole cost and expense at such times and in such manner as
Landlord may from time to time designate and in full compliance with all laws,
rules and regulations of all Regulatory Authorities.

(b) Prior to commencing any Tenant Changes or any other
work pursuant to the provisions of this Article, and as a condition to Landlord
granting its consent, Tenant shall furnish Landlord for its approval with (i)
copies of all governmental permits and authorizations which may be required in
connection with such work; (ii) a certificate evidencing that Tenant (or
Tenant's contractors) has (have) procured Workers Compensation insurance
covering all persons employed in connection with the work who might assert
claims for death or bodily injury against Landlord or Tenant; (iii) such
additional personal injury and property damage insurance (over and above the
insurance required to be carried by Tenant pursuant to the provisions of Article
6 hereof) as Landlord may reasonably require; (iv) to the extent permitted by
law, unconditional waivers of mechanic's liens signed by contractors,

copies of all contracts with contractors and subcontractors selected by Tenant.

<PAGE>
9.4 Mechanic's Lien.

(a) Tenant will not do any act or suffer any act which
will, in any way, encumber the title of Landlord (or Tenant) in and to the
Leased Property nor will the interest or estate of Landlord or Tenant in the
Leased Property be in any way subject to any claim by way of lien or
encumbrance, whether by operation of law or by virtue of any express or implied
contract by Tenant. Tenant will not suffer or permit any liens to be filed
against the Leased Property, or any part thereof, by reason of any work, labor,
services or materials done for, or supplied, or claimed to have been done for,
or supplied to Tenant, or anyone holding the Leased Property, or any part
thereof, through or under Tenant. If any such lien is at any time filed against
the Leased Property, Tenant will cause the same to be discharged of record
within ten (10) days after the date of filing the same, by either payment,
deposit or bonding and if Tenant shall fail to do so, then, in addition to any
other right or remedy of Landlord, Landlord may, but shall not be obligated to,
procure the discharge of the same either by paying the amount claimed to be due
by deposit in court or bonding, and/or Landlord will be entitled, if Landlord so
elects, to compel the prosecution of an action for the foreclosure of such lien
by the lien or and to pay the amount of the judgment, if any, in favor of the
lienor with interest, costs and allowances. Any amount paid or deposited by
Landlord for any of the aforesaid purposes, and all legal and other expenses of
Landlord, including reasonable attorneys' fees, in defending such action or in
procuring the discharge of such lien, with all necessary disbursements in
connection therewith, will become due and payable as Additional Rent on the date
of payment or deposit as the case may be.

(b) Nothing in this Lease shall be deemed to be, or
construed in any way as constituting, the consent or request of Landlord,
express or implied by inference or otherwise, to any person, firm or corporation
for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials for any
construction, rebuilding, alteration or repair of or to the Leased Property or
any part thereof, nor as giving Tenant any right, power or authority to contract
for or permit the rendering of any services or the furnishing of any materials
which might in any way give rise to a right to file any lien against Landlord's
interest in the Leased Property.

10. SIGNS. Subject to Landlord's prior written consent, which
shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, Tenant may erect and
maintain signs on the Leased Property as necessary or advisable for purposes of
safety and compliance with applicable laws; provided, however, that all signs
are consistent with the Approvals and comply with all laws, ordinances and
regulations of Regulatory Authorities.

11. ACCESS TO THE PROPERTY. Tenant shall permit Landlord or its
agents to enter the Leased Property, at reasonable times, for the purpose of
inspecting the Leased Property; provided, however, that Landlord shall be under
no obligation to so inspect. Landlord agrees not to interfere with Tenant's
business operations in exercising its rights hereunder and to give Tenant prior
notice of its exercise of such rights. Tenant is and shall be in exclusive
control and possession of the Leased Property as provided herein, and Landlord
shall not in any event whatsoever be liable for any injury or damage to any
Leased Property or to any person

8
<PAGE>
happening on or about the Leased Property, nor for any injury or damage to the
Leased Property, nor to any property of Tenant, or of any other person located
on in the Leased Property. The provisions hereof permitting Landlord to enter
and inspect the Leased Property are made for the purpose of enabling Landlord to
be informed as to whether Tenant is complying with the agreements, terms,
covenants and conditions hereof and to do such acts as Tenant shall fail to do.

12. ASSIGNMENT AND SUBLETTING.

12.1 Prohibited Transfers.

(a) Tenant shall not, whether voluntarily or
involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, without Landlord's consent,
which Landlord may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion, (i) assign or
otherwise transfer this Lease or any interest therein or offer or advertise to
do so, (ii) sublet or suffer or permit the Leased Property or any part thereof
to be used, occupied or utilized by anyone other than Tenant or offer or
advertise to do so, or (iii) mortgage, pledge, encumber or otherwise hypothecate
(any of which shall be referred to as a "Mortgaging") this Lease or the Leased
Property or any part thereof in any manner whatsoever.

(b) The consent by Landlord to any assignment, subletting
or mortgaging shall not in any manner be construed to relieve Tenant, or any
assignee or sublessee from obtaining Landlord's prior express written consent to
any other or further assignment, subletting, or Mortgaging. In no event shall
any permitted sublessee assign or encumber its sublease or further sublet all or
a portion of its sublet space, or otherwise suffer or permit the sub et space or
any part thereof to be used or occupied by others.

12.2 Transfers of Interests in Entities. For purposes of this
Article, the transfer by any means of the legal or beneficial interests in
either voting power, capital or profits in Tenant or in any corporation,
partnership or other entity directly, or indirectly comprising Tenant, of the
majority of the issued and outstanding capital stock of any corporate Tenant or
subtenant, or the transfer of a majority of the beneficial interest in any other
entity (partnership or otherwise) which is the Tenant or a subtenant, however
accomplished, whether in a single transaction or in a series of related or
unrelated transactions, shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease or a
sublease, as the case may be. Tenant agrees to furnish Landlord with such
information as Landlord may reasonably request from time to time in order to
assure Landlord that neither Tenant nor any permitted subtenant have violated
the provisions of this Article. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the trading of
Tenant's shares on a public stock market shall not be a transfer or assignment
in violation of this Article.

13. CONDEMNATION. Each party shall give to the other prompt notice
of any actual or threatened taking or condemnation of all or any portion of any
of the Leased Property. If, during the Term of this Leased Lease, there shall
occur a taking or condemnation of all or any

9
<PAGE>
substantial portion of the Property, or a deed has been given in lieu thereof,
or, if there is pending any proceeding in condemnation or eminent domain for the
taking or use of all or any substantial part of the Leased Property, then, in
such event, this Lease shall terminate, in which event neither party shall have
any further rights or obligations hereunder except as expressly set forth to the
contrary herein. If there is a condemnation or taking of any Leased Property
which is not deemed to be substantial, this Lease shall continue in effect. In
any event, all damages awarded for such taking under the power of eminent
domain, whether for the whole or a part of the Leased Property, shall belong to
and be the property of Landlord, whether such damages shall be awarded as
compensation for diminution in value to the leasehold or to the fee; provided,
however, that Tenant shall, to the extent that same shall not reduce Landlord's
award, be entitled to any award from the condemnor for loss of business and
depreciation to, and cost of removal of, stock and fixtures. The terms
"condemnation, " "taking" or similar terms as herein used shall mean the
acquisition by a public or quasi-public authority having the right to take the
same by condemnation or by power of eminent domain or otherwise, regardless of
whether such taking is the result of actual condemnation or of voluntary
conveyance.

14. ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE.

14.1 Environmental Compliance.

(a) Tenant, at its expense, shall comply with all
applicable Environmental Laws with respect to its use and occupancy of the
Leased Property; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be
construed as limiting or waiving any of Landlord's obligations as seller under
the Agreement.

(b) No Hazardous Materials, shall be handled, upon,
about, above or beneath the Leased Property or any portion thereof by or on
behalf of Tenant, or its contractors, clients, officers, directors, employees,
agents, or invitees. Any such Hazardous Materials so Handled shall be known as
Tenant's Hazardous Materials. Notwithstanding the foregoing, normal quantities
of Tenant's Hazardous Materials customarily used in connection with the
Permitted Use may be Handled at the Leased Property. Tenant's Hazardous
Materials permitted by the foregoing sentence shall be Handled at all times in
compliance with the manufacturer's instructions therefor and all applicable
Environmental Laws. Tenant agrees to execute affidavits, representations, and
the like from time to time at Landlord's request stating Tenant's best knowledge
and belief regarding the presence of Hazardous Materials on the Leased Property.

(c) Landlord and Tenant shall immediately notify the
other if it receives: (i) any notices or correspondence from the NJDEP (as
defined below) alleging the presence or release of any Hazardous Material in,
on, around or under the Leased Property; or (ii) any information suggesting or
demonstrating the release or presence of any Hazardous Material in, on, around
or under the Leased Property.

10
<PAGE>
14.2 ISRA.

(a) Landlord and Tenant acknowledge that the Permitted
Use may cause the Leased Property to be subject to the provisions of the
Industrial Site Recovery Act, N.J.S.A. 13: 1K-6 et seq. and the regulations
promulgated thereunder and any successor legislation and regulations ("ISRA").
Except as set forth in the Agreement to be obligations of the Landlord, as
seller, Tenant shall, at Tenant's own expense, make all submissions to, provide
all information to, and comply with all requirements of, the Industrial Site
Evaluation Element (the "Element") of the New Jersey Department of Environmental
Protection ("NJDEP") in connection with any ISRA compliance required as a result
of Tenant's use of the Leased Property. Tenant shall provide copies to Landlord
of all materials submitted to and received from NJDEP pursuant to ISRA.

(b) Tenant's obligations under this Article shall arise
if there is any "closing operations" or "transferring ownership or operations"
of an "industrial establishment" as defined by ISRA, at the Leased Property if
triggered by Tenant or by a "change in ownership" of Tenant as defined by ISRA;
provided however, that as a result of the closing under the Agreement Tenant
shall not be obligated to comply with ISRA separately from Landlord's pending
application, unless required to do so by NJDEP, but Tenant shall file a General
Information Notice (GIN) under the existing ISRA case number, if necessary.
Prior to the expiration or sooner termination of this Lease, Tenant shall
deliver to Landlord evidence of compliance with ISRA, or evidence that no
compliance with ISRA is required, in the form of (i) a non-applicability
determination, (ii) a de minimis quantity exemption as set forth in Section 9 of
ISRA, (iii) an approved "No Further Action Letter" as defined by ISRA and issued
by NJDEP, or (iv) a letter from NJDEP stating that an approved "Remedial Action
Workplan" (as described in (c) below) has been completed and the Leased Property
is in full compliance with ISRA.

(c) Should NJDEP determine that a "Remedial Action
Workplan" as defined under ISRA, be prepared and/or that a "remediation", as
defined under ISRA, be undertaken because of any spills or discharges of
Hazardous Materials at the Leased Property which occur during the Term of this
Lease and which spills are caused by Tenant, its agents, employees or
independent contractors, then Tenant shall, at Tenant's own expense, prepare and
submit the required information and provide the necessary "funding source" if
required, as defined by ISRA, and carry out the approved remediation.

14.3. Indemnification. Tenant shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Landlord from and against any and all claims, actions, liabilities,
losses, penalties, damages, fines, costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, engineers, other
professionals or experts, including those to enforce this indemnity) of any kind
whatsoever, foreseen or unforeseen, which Landlord may incur by reason of
Tenant's failure to fulfill Tenant's obligations under this Article.

14.4 Defined Terms. The following terms have the meanings ascribed
thereto:

11
<PAGE>

laws, ordinances, codes, regulations, rules, rulings, orders, decrees,
directives, policies and requirements by any Regulatory Authority regulating,

14.5 Survival. Tenant's obligations and liabilities under this
Article shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.

15. SURRENDER BY TENANT AT END OF TERM.

15.1 Termination.

(a) This Lease may be terminated upon mutual agreement of
the parties.

(b) This Lease shall terminate: (i) in the event that the
Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms as a result of a material
breach by a party thereto, in which event the Expiration Date of this Lease
shall be the thirtieth (30th) day following the termination of the Agreement, or
(ii) in the event that this Lease is otherwise terminated in accordance with its
terms, in which event the Expiration Date shall be the date on which this Lease
is so terminated.

15.2 Surrender by Tenant at End of Term. On the Expiration Date, or
the earlier termination hereof, unless resulting from the Closing under the
Agreement, Tenant shall peaceably and quietly surrender and deliver up to
Landlord possession of the Property, vacant and broom clean, in as good
condition and repair as at the Commencement Date, ordinary wear and tear and
damage by condemnation excepted. By the Expiration Date or earlier termination
hereof, Tenant shall remove from the Leased Property all personal property and
chattels of Tenant.

15.3 Landlord's Right to Remove. If Tenant fails to remove Tenant's
personal property at such time as Landlord may be entitled to re-enter and take
possession of the Leased

12
<PAGE>
Property pursuant to any provision of this Lease, Landlord may remove Tenant's
personal property from the Leased Property and to dispose of it or place it in a
reasonably safe place of storage, such moving, disposal and storage to be at the
sole cost and expense of Tenant. Tenant covenants and agrees to pay to Landlord
all reasonable expenses which Landlord incurs for such removal, demolition,
disposal and storage. Alternatively, at the option of Landlord, Tenant shall be
deemed to have abandoned any or all of Tenant's personal property and the same
may be disposed of or shall become the property of Landlord.

15.4 Holdover Rent. If Tenant holds over or remains in possession
of the Leased Property after the expiration of the Term or after any earlier
termination of this Lease, such holding over or continued possession shall
create only a month to month tenancy. Tenant recognizes and agrees that (i) the
damage to Landlord resulting from any failure by Tenant to surrender the Leased
Property timely will be substantial, will exceed the amount of monthly Rent
theretofore payable hereunder, and will be impossible of accurate measurement,
and (ii) the minimum rent payable hereunder have been established in conjunction
with and as part of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, and absent
the Agreement, Landlord would not have agreed to lease the Leased Property to
Tenant at the monthly Rent payable theretofore payable hereunder. Therefore,
Tenant shall pay rent for the period from the expiration or sooner termination
of the Term of this Lease through and including the date when Tenant shall
actually vacate and surrender the Leased Property in accordance with and as
required by the provisions of this Lease, equal to the aggregate of (a) monthly
rent at the rate of $13,000 per month ("Minimum Holdover Rent"), which the
parties acknowledge is reasonable and fair compensation for the use of the
Leased Property, and (b) Additional Rent specified in this Lease. The resulting
month to month tenancy may be terminated at any time by either party as of the
last day of any calendar month on not less than thirty (30) days' written notice
given to the other party.

16. EVENT OF DEFAULT BY TENANT/OTHER TENANT DEFAULTS.

16.1 Events of Default. If during the Term there shall occur any of
the following events ("Events of Default"):

(a) if Tenant shall fail to pay Additional Rent within
ten (10) days after written notice from Landlord; or

(b) In the event that Tenant shall fail to observe any
other requirement, obligation, agreement, covenant or condition of this Lease,
other than the Events of Default expressly set forth in Section 17.1(a), and any
such failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after written notice from
Landlord specifying the basis for such default, or if such failure cannot
reasonably be remedied within such time period, if Tenant shall not diligently
commence to remedy such failure within such thirty (30) day time period and
thereafter prosecute the same to completion with diligence; or

13
<PAGE>
(c) if the Agreement shall be terminated as a result of a
default by Buyer thereunder ,then at any time following any of such Event of
Default, Landlord, may give Tenant notice of termination of this Lease and take
possession of the Property, using appropriate judicial process. The giving of
such notice to Tenant shall terminate Tenant's right to possession of the Leased
Property under this Lease without discharging Tenant from any of its liabilities
hereunder.

16.2 Conditions Precedent. This Lease shall automatically terminate
without the requirement of any notice in the event that:

(a) either party shall have become insolvent, or
generally does not pay its debts as they become due, or admits in writing its
inability to pay its debts, or makes a deed of trust or assignment for the
benefit of creditors; or

(b) a petition in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership,
dissolution or similar proceeding shall have been commenced voluntarily by a
party; or

(c) any such proceeding shall have been commenced
involuntarily against a party and the same shall not have been dismissed or
effectively stayed within sixty days from the commencement thereof.

16.3 Right of Re-Entry. If Landlord elects to terminate Tenant's
right to possession of the Leased Property under Section 16.1 following an Event
of Default or under Section 16.2, Landlord shall re-enter and take possession of
the Leased Property (using appropriate judicial process), and Tenant shall be
obligated to pay to Landlord upon demand, and Landlord shall be entitled to
recover of and from Tenant, (a) all Rent payable to the date of termination of
Tenant's right to possession, plus (b) the cost to Landlord of all reasonable
legal and other expenses and costs (including attorney's fees) incurred by
Landlord in obtaining possession of the Leased Property, plus (c) any reasonable
costs and expenses incurred in enforcing any provision of this Lease.

17. SUBORDINATION.

17.1 Subordination. This Lease and all rights of Tenant hereunder
are subject and subordinate to all mortgages which may now or hereafter affect
the Property (any of the foregoing being herein referred to as a "Superior
Mortgage") whether or not such Superior Mortgages shall also cover other lands
and/or buildings and/or leases, to each and every advance made or hereafter to
be made under such Superior Mortgages, and to all renewals, modifications,
consolidations, replacements and extensions of such Superior Mortgages. This
Article shall be self-operative and no further instrument of subordination shall
be required. In confirmation of such subordination, Tenant shall promptly
execute, acknowledge and deliver any certificate that Landlord, the holder of
any Superior Mortgage, or any of their respective successors in interest may
reasonably request to evidence such subordination. If Tenant fails to execute,
acknowledge or deliver any such instruments within seven (7) days after request
therefor, Tenant hereby

14
<PAGE>
irrevocably constitutes and appoints Landlord as Tenant's attorney-in-fact,
coupled with an interest, to execute any such certificate or certificates for
and on behalf of Tenant.

17.2 Attornment. At the option of Landlord or any successor
landlord, including the holder of any Superior Mortgage or the purchaser of the
mortgaged premises in foreclosure who shall succeed to the Landlord's interest
herein (collectively the "Successor Landlord"), Tenant agrees that neither the
foreclosure of a Superior Mortgage, nor the institution of any suit, action,
summary or other proceeding against the Landlord or any Successor Landlord, nor
any foreclosure proceeding brought by the holder of any such Superior Mortgage
to recover possession of the premises covered thereby, shall by operation of the
law or otherwise result in cancellation or termination of this Lease or the
obligations of the Tenant hereunder, and at the option and upon the request of
any such Successor Landlord, Tenant covenants and agrees to attorn to and
recognize such Successor Landlord as Tenant's landlord under this Lease and
shall promptly execute and deliver any instrument that such Successor Landlord
may reasonably request to evidence such attornment. Upon such attornment, this
Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct Lease between the
Successor Landlord and Tenant upon all of the terms, conditions and covenants as
are set forth in this Lease except that the Successor Landlord shall not:

(a) be liable for any previous act or omission of
Landlord under this Lease;

(b) be subject to any offset not expressly provided for
in this Lease, which theretofore shall have accrued to Tenant against Landlord;
and

(c) be bound by any previous modification of this Lease
or by any previous prepayment of more than one month's Rent, unless such
modification or prepayment shall have been expressly approved in writing by the
holder of the Superior Mortgagee, through or by reason of which the Successor
Landlord shall have succeeded to the rights of Landlord under this Lease.

18. QUIET ENJOYMENT. Landlord covenants that Tenant, on paying the
Rent and performing the covenants and conditions contained in this Lease, shall
and may peaceably and quietly have, hold and enjoy the Leased Property for the
Term of this Lease, subject to the terms and conditions of this Lease.

19. CERTIFICATES. Tenant and Landlord each agree at any time and
from time to time during the Term of this Lease, within 30 days after written
request from Landlord or Tenant, as applicable, to execute, acknowledge and

party, a statement in writing certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in
full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in
full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications), and the dates
to which the Additional Rent has been paid in advance, if any, and stating
whether or not, to the best of such certifying party's knowledge, the other
party is in default in the performance of any covenant, agreement or condition
contained in this Lease, and, if so, specifying each such default of which

15
<PAGE>
such certifying party may have knowledge. Such third person shall have the right
to rely upon the contents of any such written statement of Tenant or Landlord.

20. NOTICES. Unless otherwise notified in writing to the contrary,
any notice, election or request required or permitted by the terms hereof to be
given by any party hereto shall be effectively delivered for all purposes if

force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision or by its severance.

prepared and reviewed this Lease and no rules of construction shall be adversely
applied against either as the preparer of this Lease.

attributable to any misrepresentation or breach of warranty by the indemnitor

from having all the force and effect of an original breach or violation.

Rent with knowledge of the breach of any covenant of this Lease shall not be
deemed a waiver of such breach. No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a
lesser amount than the monthly Rent herein stipulated shall be deemed to be
other than on account of the earliest stipulated Rent, nor shall any endorsement
or statement on any check or any letter accompanying any check or payment of
Rent be deemed an accord and satisfaction, and Landlord may accept and deposit
such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the

excused for the period of the delay and the period for the performance of any
such act shall be extended for a period equal to the period of such delay. The

the Tenant's reasonable request and without further consideration, the Tenant or
the Landlord, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver such other
instruments and take such other actions as the Landlord or the Tenant may
request in order to more effectively convey, lease to, invest in the Tenant and
to put the Tenant in possession and operating control of all or any part of the
Leased Property, and to otherwise consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby.

23.7 Binding Effect. This Lease shall bind and inure to the benefit
of and be enforceable by the parties hereto, and their respective successors and
assigns.

23.8 No Third Party Rights. This Lease shall not be construed to
create any rights under this Lease in any third party, whether as a third party
beneficiary or otherwise. Nothing contained herein may be relied upon or
enforced by any person or entity other than the Landlord and the Tenant.

in accordance with the laws of the State of New Jersey. Landlord and Tenant
hereby mutually waive their rights to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or
counterclaim brought by either of the parties hereto against the other on any
matters whatsoever arising out of or in any way connected with this Lease,
Tenant's use or occupancy of the Lease Property, and any claim of injury or
damage. Tenant hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the right
to interpose any counterclaim (other than compulsory counterclaims) in any
summary proceeding instituted by Landlord against Tenant or in any action
instituted by Landlord for unpaid Rent under this Lease.

25. CONSENTS. In the event the Tenant claims or asserts that the
Landlord has violated or failed to perform a covenant of Landlord not to
unreasonably withhold or delay Landlord's consent or approval, or in any case
where Landlord's reasonableness in exercising its judgment is in issue, Tenant's
sole remedy shall be an action for specific performance, declaratory judgment or
injunction and in no event shall Tenant be entitled to any money damages for a
breach of such covenant and in no event shall Tenant claim or assert any claims
for money damages in any action or by way of set-off, defense or counterclaim
and Tenant hereby specifically waives the right to any money damages or other
remedies. Whenever Landlord's consent or approval is required under this Lease,
and this Lease does not specify that such consent or approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, Landlord may determine whether to grant or
withhold such consent or approval in its sole and absolute discretion,
regardless of whether such refusal to consent or approve may be deemed
arbitrary. Whenever this Lease requires Landlord's consent or approval, Tenant
shall reimburse Landlord on demand as a condition to granting such consent or
approval any costs that may be incurred in connection with reviewing the request
for consent or approval, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees.
